    Always interesting videos Scott. When I was in college, one of my theology professors talked about the idea of “cognitive being” similar to your take on the Egyptian idea of two deaths. The idea being that as long as you were spoken or thought of, you were alive. It’s always stuck with me, and I was jazzed to hear you talk about it, albeit in a different way. Keep up the great work.

    Scott, I've been reading your website for about 20+ years. I took one of your tours and visited your museum way way back, maybe 12 years ago? Gosh. Anyways, in a way, you feel like a "friend", so this tour of your life was really cool, especially seeing the beginning of your interest in true crime. I really appreciate you taking the time to film and share this. You are a great storyteller, and I love that this is all part of your legacy.
    Thanks, Scott! I hope you are well!

    I grew up in Seattle. In middle school, I used to have walk by what left of a house that a man killed his wife and then lit the house on fire and then killed himself. I was working downtown when I was in my early 20's and someone left an Ann Rule book about lesser known serial killers. I started reading it and it was about killers all around where I grew up, I mean where we used to dive for golf balls they recovered a body, one block over from one of my buddy's house was where a killer lived. On and on. About a month later I was talking to my brother who was 15 years older than me. He just casually mentioned that he had met Ted Bundy while he was going to the UW, he had a short conversations with him a couple of times. It just seemed it like murder was everywhere. I have lived a number of parts of the country since and it never seem as crazy as Seattle of that era.

      The 70s and early 80s were nuts in terms of murderers. Sometimes I don't like how much surveillance there is these days with cameras literally everywhere but if there's one positive it's that it probably deters a TON of would be killers and other criminals.

    As I'm watching your video I can really relate. We grew up in Los Angeles, my older sister who was a teenager at the time of the Manson murders was afraid to walk to school, she was going to Venice High at the time, many years later my sister finds out that her father-in-law was a Beverly hills police officer at the scene of Sharon Tate's house Manson murders. We lived near a corner that was called "Happy Corner," which was on Culver boulevard and Centinela in Los Angeles, to this day, there is still a liquor store there called happy corner. There were a lot of accidents at that corner, especially on Fridays. I remember as a kid hearing the accidents and walking 100 ft to the corner to see it. My father has always been freaked out about driving on Fridays because of it. Around 1976 there was actually a plane crash that happened right there also. Two small planes collided, one was from Hughes aircraft down the street and I'm not sure where the other one came from, but they collided and landed right there in that intersection. It was actually quite horrible. I was about 11 years old at the time and I had no idea what happens to bodies when they're in a crash like that. There were body parts everywhere, and plane parts everywhere, for blocks. I even backed up into what look like a bloody torso that landed on the railroad tracks there 😳 I remember after they cleaned up everything, I would walk on those railroad tracks to get to my friend's house and they left things behind, meaning human tissue remains 🥺Years ago there used to be a sanitarium at that corner with the patients escaping sometimes in a straight jacket. One night it burned down. There is now a Los Angeles police station in it's place.

      Dang!!!!! I’m originally from Southern California. I grew up in Orange County and Los Angeles and I was born in 1965 and during the 70s I remember my mom being so scared living alone with me and my sister during the Manson crap. And when I was in middle school in Huntington Beach there were so many serial killers during that time. And one of my friends David Mcvicker is the only survivor of the freeway killer William Bonin and I also knew two of his murder victims. One was a guy I went to middle school with named Glenn Barker, and the other one was my paper boy who was killed by him. I think his name was Jeremy, or something like that. It started with a J… I would have to look it up. and I used to have a friend name Cindy and she was best friends with Robin Christine Samsoe who was killed by Rodney Alcala the dating game killer. Before Cindy and I became neighbors she lived downtown Huntington Beach in another apartment complex and Robin was her neighbor and they were best friends and do you remember the show chips? Remember the black cop on chips he went by the name Fritz? Well, he and his girlfriend at the time were next-door neighbors to Robin and her mom and her siblings. And he was so devastated by her murder, He was actually one of the pallbearers at her funeral. I still have the newspaper clipping. And when I was living in Perris, California back in the 90s, there was a serial killer named William Suff, and at the time I was going to church with this girl and her boyfriends sister Tina De León was murdered by William Suff. And that scumbag killer even killed his baby when she was eight months old. I feel like God must’ve had angels around me during my lifetime protecting me because my friends and I we would hitchhike down to the beach. We were crazy back in the day. 🤦🏼‍♀️

      @@IanP1963 I think it’s because the contiguous 48 states is so large with highways traversing the entire country. That makes it easy for serial killers to move around, and hide in plain sight.
      It wasn’t that long ago that there were no national crime databases, and police departments really didn’t have a way to communicate with each other regarding similarities in crimes. It’s unfortunate that sometimes they still don’t unless the FBI becomes involved.

    We lived by a freeway and onetime while I was watching TV in the living room a truck tire crashed into my brother’s bedroom and the mesh fencing that they put inside the walls at the time stretched all the way out preventing the tire from hitting me in the living room. The truck driver ran down to our house, saw the damage and they fixed everything within a couple of days and painted the room blue for my brother. Talk about close calls. This also happened in Los Angeles California in a relatively “leave it to Beaver” neighborhood. The property is still there but now they put a wall on the side of the freeway so it wouldn’t happen again. Very tragic that all of those friends of yours passed away from your class. Glad you were able to make it out of there and make vlogs like these in memory of many victims that sometimes are long forgotten but not by their families. ❤️🌹🙏🏻

    Re the lady that died at the back of the auto shop. I think that small building next to the brick wall is an outside toilet, or loo as we call them in Australia. Maybe she felt unwell as she walked down the street, went to the loo and had a heart attack as she walked out of it. Maybe the coroner found that she died of a heart attack so there would be no follow up with police. Seems logical, but I could be wrong. My mother always used to say if you feel unwell don’t go to the toilet, because people always die in the bathroom or on the way out….lol 😂😂😂

    Hello Scott. I had Susan's brother Rob Asaro in a creative writing class around 1983 (East Detroit High School) He wrote a story about the tragedy and read it in class. 😢 It was titled "Winter Kills Spring" I never forgot that

    I parked my car right by your old house not long ago. I was going to a show at Harpo's. The band was that old metal band from Los Angeles called W.A.S.P. they were not very good. I live in Topher road in Warren. Great video. The only danger in the Detroit area these days are the condition of the roads. Wow are they bad. I spent most of my life in Needles California. I moved to the Detroit area because it is safe and affordable. No kidding.

    Scott. Very sad but interesting. My youngest son too was hit by a car 30 years ago. He went flying in the air but did not break any bones. He got a ride to the hospital in an ambulance as well. He came out on crutches with only deep contusions and lacerations.

My sister just died October 27th, 2023, and these things never give you a warning. Time to start documenting these things for my own daughter. Thank you for all of the work you do.

    When I was in the 7th grade there was a couple who worked in a convenience store and a girl who worked in a donut shop down the street that came up missing within a few days of each other. Their bodies were found days later, and it turns out that it was a family of nomads who kidnapped and murdered them. It was shocking that such a crime would happen in our sleepy little (at the time little, now it's part of the urban sprawl of Dallas) community. This was around the same time as the Manson trials and it was also the time that everybody in our neighborhood started locking their doors at night!

    Hi. I found my way here from Scott On Tape. That was a great video. I heard the saying a out speaking a name for the last time from Macklemore’s ‘Glorious’ lyrics:”
    “ I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave
    And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name”
    It was interesting to know the background. Thanks for the tour of Detroit 😊(from Australia 🇦🇺)

    I live just outside of Nashville, TN and in 1973 there was a fella named Stringbean who was on Hee Haw and played at the Grand Ole Opry who was murdered along with his wife during a robbery of their home. I was 6 years old at the time and really had no concept of how far away the murders happened and I remember being terrified the man who killed them was going to break into our house and do the same thing to my family. It’s “funny” how things like that can shape us when we are exposed to them at such a young age. I cannot imagine how terrible it had to have been to witness those terrible car wrecks just outside your living room window. Back in those days cars were huge and solid like tanks but since seatbelts weren’t really a thing I’m sure the damage done to those in the wrecks was substantial.

    Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your past Scott. I’ve been a fan for over 12 years. Love your stories. I’m not sure why I got fascinated with death. I was never exposed as you were as a child but there was an elderly lady in our neighborhood that died when her house caught on fire and I remember being so fascinated by it, that i kept riding my bike back and forth in front of her house. Me and a group of kids from the neighborhood finally went into the house to see where she had died. I can still remember the smell of that burnt out house. I was about 6 years old. I guess that’s where my fascination with death began.
