29:00 four categories? Really? The man was found naked, dead and hidden in his own house. Over 50, not married, living alone and not dating. The person had to be strong enough to stuff him naked wrapped in a carpet in a crawl space. He didn't crawl up there on his own butt naked with one sock on and wrap himself in a carpet.
His gay lover he didn't tell anyone about did it.
Prove me wrong if you don't believe me.
@@theoryofpersonality1420
Exactly. I believe two ppl involved, no way one person could lift dead weight rolled up in carpet into an attic.
So Sad 😢💙.
Does LE have Dr Hoovers cell phone or laptops? I don’t believe I heard any mention of digital leads. 🤔
Homosexual partner.
Security cameras!!
Thank you Vinnie for covering this case. He was a colleague of mine and a fine surgeon that saved a lot of lives.😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a tragic case. All the training & education he worked to accomplish. It's a big loss for the community. I had a pituitary microadenoma 40 years ago. The tumor couldn't be reached with surgery. Per my neurosurgeon. Medication shrunk it. I was an emergency nurse x40 years. Thx so much for all that you do to help others. You're appreciated very much.💖🙏🌷
Lori, are you related to Keith Demars?
Am so sorry for your loss. ❤
❤
Sorry for your loss
His mother died just 4 days after him. I imagine she died of a broken heart. So sad.
😢😢😢😢😢
Are you serious? 😮😢😢
Wow, that's double sad!! I Hope the person or people will be caught and the family gets justice.
I knew his mother. She had had cancer for years, and was very extremely low when this happened.
@@k.y.6148 Thank you for that information. How sad to have cancer and lose your son to murder. Very tragic.
If nothing was taken, that tells you something right there..
A life was taken.
@@laurens4561Obviously they mean to convey that robbery wasn’t a motive 🙄
I feel like these types of people usually have a secret side to their lives that shock people once it comes to light.
Yes!!!
Exactly. Im feeling a gay love triangle. Or some sort of jealousy.
This murder would seem to be motivated by some very intense personal feelings, probably a disturbed lover or a man he rejected, most likely combined with a sense of entitlement to the lifestyle, the wealth and the respect in the community, that he worked hard to achieve.
We all have our secrets. Unfortunate that his secret laundry will be aired, if not now, then when someone gets arrested.
I was thinking the same .........
The fact that he was naked and covered up says a lot about the relationship to his killer.
Maybe a prostitute
Yes. I think the murderer was going to dress the body but realized it was going to be difficult, hence only thr right sock on the doc's foot
It could be in purpose made this show for putting in wrong direction of crime...
tha gays feature alot of strange bizarre scenarios in their worlds
@@hoss-lk4bgComposed to straights, larger numbers of partners, and more anonymous encounters.
The really sad thing about this is the statistical chances of producing such a person who can do such good work are very slim- you need someone who is driven, with great intelligence, 3D thinking, perfect hand- eye coordination and the luck to be born into a middle class family or better that can put him through years of medical school. .. then this happens. Edit - it turns out that he came from a single mother household so making it as high as he did is a miracle. Frankly the American Dream is just a mirage these days.
Scholarships are available to help pay tuition.
@@loralieisa🙄
I know...I think about people like him who have so much vitality and intelligence and capabilities and just in general all the extremely hard work he's put into his life to become someone so amazing and useful for it to end in such a way... it's hard to understand why these things happen.
@@loralieisa🙄🙄 there's always that one person.....
I'm guessing, the person(s) wanted to obtain information/items and/or delete/destroy information/items, that might connect them to the deceased.
For authorities to promise something like this based on THE WEATHER is so odd. I'm in Detroit...nothing is adding up...no cameras? No other neighboring cameras? Dr. Hoover definitely knew his killer. Not random.
Chief James White is regretting that statement ever came out of his mouth now. The Detroit Police Commissioners meeting today he was back pedaling about that statement. You don't tell the public and Devon's family you're CONFIDENT that there will be an arrest/ development in the case to have it fall flat, smh.
Did you follow the Kaitlin Armstrong trial? That homicide audio was clearly recorded by a neighbor's doorbell across the street. It seems odd that there weren't Security cameras outside & inside. I hope this is solved so his family & friends find a little peace.😥💖🙏
I noticed there was no mention of security cameras & with a house like that you would assume there would be!! I think they know who did it but are building more of a solid case or they just don’t have enough evidence for the DA to make a winnable case!!
Lol To make a statement like that highly suggests one thing.. that they definitely have incriminating evidence and got overconfident. As stated in the video it’s probably the same situation as the college murders in Ohio. Aka the police are quietly gathering all the evidence but chose not to share it with the public. Which is just traditional how investigations are supposed to go.
Pick any decent neighborhood in America and it’s going be full of Ring doorbell cameras. A rich neighborhood like that I’m sure multiple cameras caught the audio of the shots. Don’t forget video of the killer’s car. It’s basically impossible to stay invisible with the amount of cameras everywhere.
Such a huge mansion and no surveillance cameras? No watchman or guards or security? No family? No wife or girlfriend?
I don’t get it a rich doctor with a mansion and no surveillance cameras. It’s weird there has to be something
The furniture inside are expensive antiques. Maybe his boyfriend was a Mafia boss and he felt safe!
All of that kindness, knowledge and trust horrifically taken and can never be replaced. How devastating for his family, friends, colleagues and patients.
It's not just the death of one person but also the intelligence, knowlege, compassion and expertise in his field that were gone too. In an industry where the likes of him is rare, the shortage is big and the demand is high, this loss will be felt wayy past his inner circle. Imagine the countless of lives he could have saved. 😢
You are so right. The world doesn't know how much loss
Not many care nor think about stuff like that....in Detroit....and he was obviously keeping time with the "best" of them. Just something to ponder....
Imagine living alone in a house that size and going downstairs for a late night snack. Nope!
YES..I live in a house like this and every time i go downstairs at night alone i get so terrified that someone is in another room somewhere. I don't know how he does it. Especially in detroit of all places, you can't pay me to live in that ghetto sheethole
Not without a guard dog/best bud
@@sew_gal7340Detroit is not a town for cowards like you
@@sew_gal7340 You could do a mini fridge and small food pantry in your bedroom closet. 😂
@hivemindconcussion2173 that's true, my wealthy friend just built a new home and his room has a built in kitchenette for a late night beer!
Early on in the case it was reported that the Dr did not have an alarm system. It was also reported that he was a gay male. These two factors weren’t mentioned in this report.
I thought that it was surprising he had no alarm system or possibly camera system.
In addition in order to drag a full grown man into an upper crawl space a great amount of strength would be needed.
Additionally he was nude with the exception of 1 sock.
I believe a strong male was involved, possibly a male romantic interest.
I'd say his family has asked LE to suppress the fact he was (allegedly) gay.
Even if they have DNA they have to find the person who left. It . If that person has no previous criminal history then they have a big problem. Murder was by firearm so blood from a knife wound and so on...
53, not married, no children, extremely successful, lived in a fancy & impeccably decorated mansion more than likely indicates he was gay. Maybe he wasn’t dragged to the attic but led there at gun point then shot in the attic, dragged to another area & covered to conceal his body. Or he could of been in the attic for a weird fantasy with a lover, that’s why the sheet & comforter were up there & something happened where an argument in sued which led to the murder. Maybe it wasn’t a partner but an escort or someone from a website he met. In any scenario there will be an electronic trail.
Yup, I knew it.
@angelabiery-jones5556
They said he was shot and then drug to the carpet.
I wondered if he was gay.
Very strange no security cameras with what he makes yearly 🤔
That's what I don't get.
Didn’t go with the house
Yup as a surgeon he could afford it you would say. If I had a house like that then security was a priority.
@@Fluffylover261 I would have heavy security, a safe room, guard dogs and roommates. I'm being silly but I really wouldn't live in such a huge house alone. Beautiful though.
It's detroit, the safest city in the world...no camera needed
I'm a cleaner and we have a very wealthy client, with a home that is very large very much like this house, and you need to know the house to find places like that.
Evil is running rampant sad to say, May Dr. Devon R.I.P. 🙏🏻🕊️
I think you mean "rampant".
@@azrobbins01rapid makes perfect sense to me.
Because Americans have lost their faith in God and the government thinks think law can control people.
Running rapidly rampant!
He preferred dangerous, cheap male prostitutes. I am from Detroit
It was his lover, maybe someone from Grinder. Case closed
Yep!
that's my bet.
I totally agree! I suspect the Dr. broke off the relationship with his male lover and he murdered him. Probably got use to the wealthy lifestyle and was furious!! This shouldn’t be hard to solve if all the Dr.’s phones, iPads, etc. are researched.
@@bbe3034 yes, the phone will tell it all.
He liked his male lovers young. Then he found a younger one!😮
Hoover’s murderer was committed by his male partner.
Betcha, you're 100% spot on.
user-sef, that's exactly what I think.
My first question aswell.....jealousy?
I swear I thought that same thing.
I felt the same. Probably a fellow doctor, a junior.
Crazy to think he lived alone in that mansion…. That’s a spooky house now murder house American horror story
yeah 13,000 square feet? Really
That’s a mansion fit for a queen.
@@roberthopkins3621 A queen, I get it!🤣🤣
That’s why the police is not exposing the details. Obviously, it’s a bit too much, too personal, private, sexual.
This explains why there were no cameras cctv in his mansion and nearby. Possibly the doctor was into nastiest and dirtiest gay sexual activities with random gay men he hooked up with, literal unknown to him sexual partners he was constantly changing, according to the person who knows him well. The doctor was not keen for anyone to know the degree of his perversions, sexual habits, personal secrets. This is from a trusted person who put this information out.
@@user-yx1uj2fi3p Do you enjoy having such thoughts about beloved and gifted people?
He was my doctor. He was fabulous to so many !! Hope they find and charge the killer !!
Was he gay? Or was married, divorce?
@@mariapilarmehe was single with no kids
prove it
@@mariapilarmeI think he was a closeted gay man.
This story reminds me of a similar case in the 80s. A famous gay Doctor was killed and after many months they found the guy. He said the doctor had infected him with a killer virus and he took revenge. So crazy!
Such an injustice for this doctor who sounded like a wonderful man. Hope justice prevails and soon!
The doctor could have been ordered to go to the crawl space before he was murdered...
They said the body was moved face down. Maybe scraping on the face or something like that.
@mariapilarme maybe he was ordered to lie face down in the crawl space before they shot him?
I wonder if the authorities checked the doctor's bank accounts, etc... hiding the body was done for a reason. Also, any power of attorney. And yes, knowing where to hide the body is an indication that the murderer knew the blueprints of the place.
Also, talking about this case might make the killer vanish, especially when some brilliant minds are giving their personal opinions.
No security cameras?? Did doctor know he was living in a lawless territory called Detroit? Fatal mistake -- he should have chosen a safer place to live like Bloomfield Hills or Lake Orion..
I know! No even fence around the house and cameras. Too casual.
Chicago is worse than detroit
He wouldn't have had easy access to the gay-for-pay "thug" types that he was known to prefer out there yonder. I'm sure there was a reason there were no cameras on the exterior to monitor the types coming and going.
@@robk9685You read my mind 👀.
@@janettesessions It is actually a pretty safe area with its own security patrol.
If DR Hoover's family has the opportunity to hire their own investigator.. they should try that avenue..
I am fascinated by this case. Has anyone looked at the images on Zillow where this house is currently for sale? The third floor has a bedroom with a bed that only has a fitted sheet. Top sheet and comforter are missing. The room next to that bedroom appears to be a large game room with those sort of half doors that probably lead to the attic crawlspace. Those crawlspaces are probably just the slanted eaves of the house and possibly where he was found. In that game room there is a seating area with no rug underneath. Every other seating area in that house has a rug under it. Seemed odd to me that that one did not. In my opinion the upstairs may have been the play area. That bedroom may have been the bedroom he preferred to "entertain" in. I don't think the killer put that sock on him. I think he was getting undressed and before he got that last sock off the killer surprised him. Or if he dragged him by the feet maybe the other sock came off. Wouldn't have been far to drag him if he was that close to the crawlspace already. And then used the sheet and comforter from that bed and that rug to cover him up. Another thing I thought was odd, I did a google map search of the house and then did a street view of the house. Don't know when that image was taken by google but laying on the sidewalk right in front of the walkway of the house is a surgical mask and what looks like maybe a sock or something. I wondered why that trash would be there and nothing else because the place looks pristine otherwise. I know, I watch to many Agatha Christie movies.
That was a very good account of what possibly happend. You are very observant and should be the lead investigator, Agatha Christi would be very proud of you.
10 stars ...plus
What's the house address? I want to see what you mean.
What's the address of his mansion...I'm fascinated too so sad ... Do u think he was gay??? 😢😢😢
Hope not.
@@RC-ku8pr It's reported he was. Took me a minute to find it again. The listing is still on Zillow. 150 W. Boston Blvd. Detroit, MI. Beautiful Home and it appears to be historical to the area as well. I agree it is sad what happened. Everything I've read says he was a very kind man. I hope for his family and friends they solve it. In particular the nice lady who was his friend.
Such an incredible loss for mankind.😢
A rape kit? Was he a homosexual? A lover's quarrel maybe 🤔 hmmm.. whatever and whomever, I hope they catch the killer soon. RIP good Doctor 😢💔😭😭
Yes. I've read he was Gay. It would make more sense on how his body made it to the crawl space. Was there more than one male? Lot's of questions...Love you Vinnie. ❣
My first thought is that the murderer is a former lover of this doctor. Someone who knew the home too.
Motive is probably revenge/jealousy !
I think it strange someone would want to live alone in such a huge dwelling
I think he did not live alone
very compelling case.... nobody covers it better than our expert, Vinnie.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏
There’s more to this story
The doctor KNEW his killer. The robbery/breakin was just a coverup. How, did the cops know where to look? Come on......
@manuelamootsy6871 or to get a piece of evidence they left behind
The smell of decomposition.
They went for a wellness check and they couldn’t find him. Police were called again 2days after because smell and flies by a next door neighbor.
Dang all that money...no 📷 cameras?....😮
Exactly I have a security system and I don’t make what he does as a neuro surgeon
Exactly. No way he didn't have cameras, or that none of his neighbors did.
NO DISRESPECT MEANT BUT WHAT IF HE HAD A "SECRET" LIFE OR MAYBE A CLOSE MALE FRIEND THAT WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THE DR DIDN'T KNOW IT TILL THAT NIGHT I MEAN HOW MANY KILLER TAKE TIME TO COVER BODY ALMOST LIKE THEY HAVE EMOTIONS
I would bet it is a male suspect. They are tip toeing and secretive. He could be gay and perhaps not out. It is a tragedy as he saved lives.
16:30 That happens a lot regardless of headlines. People see obituaries, a lot of which include time and date of the funeral services, then thieves break in during the funeral assuming anyone who would be in the house is attending the funeral. If not that, they simply see an obituary/hear someone is dead, look up their address, then rob the house. I've known two families who actually hired "security" to just kinda of hang around the house during the funeral just so it looked like someone was home. After my grandmother passed away, in addition to the security system that was in place, we actually placed cameras around her house and property because her house was so isolated from the neighbors and my parents were worried someone would break in, regardless of the security system, because it would likely take police a good while to get out there...
This actually happened lots in a Chicago suburb in the ‘90s. Many times after paramedics were called to a house, it would experience a burglary within a few weeks while family members were away. Friend who lived there was widow of the former fire chief. Residents all said it was the paramedics but the burglaries were never solved. Funny, huh?
Crime of passion
Very sad. I’m surprised he didn’t have ANY security cameras. With a house that large you would think there would be some kind of security set up.
Money or sex .
The three are revenge, sex, or money.
Damn, I’m sad this happened to this poor man! So senseless. RIP. ❤️
Holy Moly, that's a large home to be on your own.
The police have an idea of who committed the murder but, they probably need more evidence. They are watching the person. Don’t worry the person will not get away with this. He or she will get caught.
also NO statue of limitations on murder
Exactly!!
I think the suspect is someone who is wealthy and powerful and has good lawyers. You need an airtight case to accuse someone like that.
Can be a relative. Something about money inheritance
Dr Hoover should have been more circumspect about having people coming into the house.
I watch too many ID type shows. This handsome, intelligent surgeon, seemingly single man, living alone in a massive home. He had to let his stress out somewhere doing something he didn't want to share with family or friends. If his private life has anything to do with his demise, I think his friends and family will be shocked what they may find out. I hope it doesn't, and I hope his friend and family get the justice they deserve.
Also, I can't imagine he cleaned this mansion on his own, so where was the help and wouldn't they have found him or at least noticed something strange before the family called for a welfare check?
his boyfriend probably did it
Wealthy gay men get klled by jealous lovers.
Gay men are generally not violent...the worst thing is they will criticize velvet curtains...they dont shoot
and ruff trade (male prostitutes" @@AuthorLLaurence
He did...they got him today
A dead body is really heavy. How do you get the dead body of an adult male into a crawl space??
Leverage ☺
There was an elevator
I wonder if someone chased him and he went into the crawlspace to hide, and then was discovered and killed there at that spot? It doesn’t say if they found evidence that he was shot elsewhere in the house, they only mentioned that he was “ dragged in a prone position “ but doesn’t say how far he was dragged
Unless he was killed in the crawl space.
He was not killed in crawl space. Autopsy report said he was dragged face down to the crawl space. Like I said there was an elevator in the home. His murderer(s) I believe tucked him in there to buy time of him not being found. Devon was suppose to be gone all weekend in his hometown because his mom was passing away. The murderer robbed him from saying goodbye to his mother, she passed a couple of days after him. May they both rest in peace 🙏
He seemed like a wonderful person and it seems to have been domestic. I’m sure there’s something to look at on his phone and his laptop and that they’ve been building a case. RIP Doctor
obviously we never would know what kind of person he was
I lived in Detroit for years and word on the street is that he preferred dangerous male prostitutes. The cheap and thuggish kind.
All I can think is; whoever he allowed in his home clearly took advantage of him. He was just too trusting in his own kindness and reciprocation of that
Who are you to judge, anyway?
Never mentioned: Sexual preference and neighborhood demographics - gosh - I wonder if these are important?? Nah, of course not.
Boston Edison is a nice small area only a few blocks... however the surrounding area is very bad
Found in crawlspace? Was he hiding from someone?
He was butt naked with only one sock on and drug around after he was dead. Then he was put in a carpet and put in the attic.
He couldn't do that by himself.
Man that’s awful.
@@theoryofpersonality1420 I was just asking but I was also cleaning while listening so I only got the general story about being found dead in a crawl space
definately soo sheesh let us pray
Devon was having sex with strangers he found on-line. His long time live-in lover had just moved out a few weeks prior to his murder. Devon was Gay.
Nice Mansion! Poor Dr Devon! Personal way of trying to hide the body!
I think he had to have been leading a double life. Healthy men need a sexual outlet. I think he got himself in over his head with some bad people.
So many cases don’t get solved because of police that do not do their jobs.
So many cases go unsolved because no one wants to be a snitch either. Or people hold information because they don't think it matters or is insignificant. One of the cases I just saw was solved 10 years later. Because deceased relative shared info about what happened a few days before the murder all while his aunt is saying the police were not doing anything. That info led police to look into other things they didn't know and finally solved the case. I'm sure there are some detectives who do not care, that is with every career though. It is so sad for everyone who loved that person.
I dont think it was mentioned that the doctor frequented dating sites and his luxery suv was found abandoned on detroits west side....
Interesting
I know of a doctor who was (in my opinion) killed for revenge for torture. I if ever I believed in jury nullification it would have been the time to use it. Unfortunately the killer took his own life.
Interesting.
You don’t know what jury nullification means kiddo
Very interesting..... this doctor had a secret room 😳
Must be dating a guy.
This is such a tragedy. How could one person drag him up into the crawl space? I feel like 2 people were involved. Either way it’s so sad.
I read the case is a LGBT issue.... prob his "lover" did it
@@orionxtc1119Oh good grief 🙄.
@@gmimi2I know nothing about the case but sexuality will be at play here I guarantee you.
Good point
@@orionxtc1119 I would be surprised if it wasn't
Being homosexual is extremely violent and RISKY 😮
😂😂😂😂 have we forgot about the idaho murders?!?!?!
AND DEMONIC
....in Detroit proper, yes.
@@white_genocide2050 What happened?
Did he have a lover that very few people knew about?
I hope the guilty parties are held responcible
I did not watch until the end so I'm not sure if it's mentioned here but the autopsy report shows that his dead body was found naked with multiple gun shot wounds in the head. His body was apparently dragged to the attic but murdered in the basement. There's no forced entry. So I agree the most with the theory that this was very personal, a crime of passion. A jilted lover perhaps? I hope justice will be served.
The mansion is for sale now
2.5M
And the neighbor house too.
It will never sell for near that amount. He purchased it for $750K in 2008. Real estate is about "location, location, location". The house is simply an "improvement" on the piece of real estate. The real estate/land itself is of nominal value in Detroit..They're taking into the personal effects/contents, personal taste. Unless there's a cash buyer the real estate will never appraise for that amount for a mortgage. At that asking price it's going to sit on the market for so long that it will be even further stigmatized beyond what it obviously already is. It's eventually going to be "dumped" unless a movie studio wants to purchase it to make a thriller movie out of this tragedy/circus.
How the hell did the killer(s) get his body up in an attic? Also, why wasn't the house being guarded as a crime scene so no one could break in?
The crawl space could be through a closet like door.
The crime scene was never protected, it was compromised. The DPD actually told his best friend that she could have a cleaning service come in before the family came into town which was roughly 3 days after the murder. Before they got cleaning, Michigan State Police pulled up to do their own investigation. Just why wouldn't that house been taped off as a crime scene?!
They didn't have to carry him to the attic, they took him to the attic at gunpoint and then killed him. Whoever killed him went there intending to kill him.
@@roya340 That makes more sense.
@@roya340 He was dragged face down up to there according to the autopsy.
Covering the body could also be disgust or shame of that person. That’s crazy but him living alone , he should have had cameras . I hope for the familys’ sake they find what happened
Was someone living secretly in his attic?
I think the police knows more than what they expose to the public. Its a rich neighborhood, and some neighbor or neighbors have security cameras on their homes. If he had multiple partners, maybe one of them was jealous of him and wanted him to settle down.
They 100% know more. It might be an ex-lover indeed.
Used condoms in the weekly garbage?🤔
There is so much misinformation in this video, but at least they finally charged a suspect. People, please take note: paying for sex can lead to things like this happening to you. His gay lifestyle is none of my business, but having a relationship with a prostitute cost him his life.
Very sad case. I really hope DPD makes an arrest soon.
Would've been good to have a few cameras outside...maybe even a few facing the doors and windows from inside.
In the attic crawlspace...VERY ODD!
No cameras in a large mansion???
That's what am thinking?.the more money u have the more security u gotta have...??or just be cautious wth inviting people in yr house..
Oldest trickk in the book..criminals read obits and they know no one will be there. They hit relatives houses too.
Happened to my family when my mom passed away and we were at the funeral! I've never gotten over it
My crazy first cousin was at her father’s home taking so many things from his home, while we were all at the funeral. If you want to know people’s character, watch how they act after parents have passed away. It’s pathetic what some people do!
@@onelovechild1307 We guarded everybody’s house in shifts during any funeral. We also volunteer for folks if they need it. Might be a future job, bonded people to guard homes. Sad what it is all coming to!
So glad to see Vinnie, like this before I even watch only if I see Vinnie
This is definitely a hit. Either the murderer shot him himself or hired a pro hitman. This sure is something personal, 2hits to the head and I'd say the murderer is also as brilliant because he's still roaming free and not a hint who this person is. Hmm...
Such a tragic story ! I am a Michigander. Also I believe the house break in post death is not related to his murder . I also had this happen to me , my dad passed and his house was then broke into not once but 3 times back to back before we could even get a security system up back in 2003. These thugs look at obituaries in paper or now online and target houses
Somebody knew that prized statue was in there because supposedly that's all that was taken.
Maybe someone was envious of him
This is such a tragic story! Someone who contributed so much to this world. He studied for years to become a neurosurgeon. It makes me think of my son who has done years of schooling, residency at Harvard and is choosing to do a subspecialty so doing a fellowship as an Orthopedic surgeon.
Dr. Hoover’s home was spectacular. It shows the man he was on many levels. I sure hope this case gets solved! It’s heartbreaking.
I am from Detroit, he liked cheap and dangerous male prostitutes. Shame they don't tell the public and let people's minds wander
@@LegendaryWoke Are you trolling? If not, did you bring that to the police? Are you one of his "cheap and dangerous male prostitutes" because how else would you know that?

@@redlikewineagain697 When you live somewhere for years and you take interest in such beautiful neighborhoods, you eventually meet people in those neighborhoods and you meet people who know those people. You learn Motown music greats and other key players in the city of Detroit live in those areas. You then get invited to parties, and you meet other people near the areas who tell you the details that you didn't see. Likely at parties you get most of the drama about said home owners. I've never been inside of his home, but, I have been up and down his street many times, and to one party on his block I believe. That doc knew some people I know. They told me personally he preferred cheap male prostitutes. Book smart people (doctors and etc.) many times crash into street lessons. I don't condone drug (recreational marijuana too) and whore use. "You don't skimp on your drugs, whores," and I reiterate, you shouldn't deviate from God
@@redlikewineagain697 Bringing things to the police can be a challenge that is why many of us comment on UA-cam so the authorities can see our words. Sometimes the police have egos or are embarrassed to learn people on the street have solved the crime. We are still hoping a suburb police department in the area arrest people for a murder-suicide that happened in a different area (not Detroit, but Macomb county suburb) years ago. I hate such red tape! But it happens sometimes when suburbs try to minimize crime to save face, or when cops are too embarrassed to fix their reports. Sick world we live in
Could it have been a gay lover that committed this crime?
This so sad someone needs to be held accountable. Prayers for the family and friends 🙏
Could killer be a high profile or political person?
Likely. Highly likely.
Rip doctor. He lived on the same block as berry Gordy did back in the 60s. Almost looked like the same mansion that Gordy had back in the motown years.
No it was Benjamin Siegel's house he owned B. Siegel clothing store.
A mansion without security alarms and cameras?
Exactly. That doesn't make sense.....a mansion with no security system in place.
I gave up on this video after about 8 minutes. Just a couple of talking heads saying that there's no news on this case. Then what's the purpose of the video? Maybe the video gets better later. But the first 8 minutes seems like filler.
VINNIE ‼️ MANSION MURDER. WHAT ABOUT THE DOCTORS CAR ❓❓ it was STOLEN and police said the car was found nearby
Maybe even married with children and is hiding in plain sight 🤔
A crawl space is below the house, not the same thing as an attic.
Yep, had me confused there for a minute.
Exactly!
🙏 RIP DR. DEVON HOOVER 🙏
Condolences to your family and friends at this difficult time. ✝️😢😥
A gay lover so sad RIP 😢
RIP Dr Hoover ❤😢 It is so hard to even find a docter with such a great bedside manner . So sorry for the friends and family . 🙏❤️🙏
This story reminds me of the movie “Midnight in the garden of good and evil”.
There’s a rich, prominent professional who is beloved by the community he lives in but is connected to seedy people secretly in his personal life. This connection ultimately lead to tragedy.
dr was compromised somehow perhaps
Hi there Vinnie Politan, hope you are well.
Thanks for sharing
I always enjoy your Unsolved Cases you cover Vinnie. Thank you!
🚩hey isn't this the case that when police did the well fair check initially they did not find him in the house,... and it wasn't until another day or so the neighbor noticed a smell and flies inside of one of the rooms windows, so they called the police again and that's when they found him in the attic crawl space!!!
This is very unfortunate
Yes if I remember.
No. A "friend" asked for clearance to have the place cleaned up before the family arrived and was given the ok by the police but she wanted a police escort to sweep the place first. While doing that the po-po said Hold up wait a minute! (I believe that's when they found evidence he was obviously dragged face down to the upper level) then another LE agency was called. Those homes are so large sitting on acre lots that there's no way a neighbor would have smelled anything unless they were climbing a ladder to clean windows, which they would have needed to see any flies too..
Perhaps a closet lover who was terrified about being found out
