My brother was a college student in Daytona around 1970. He wasn't afraid of anything; I visited him in a tiny, dark apartment on a place called "Booze Alley," where you could watch stoners dance in the parking lot below, by the light from their vans' taillights.... If you told me there was a serial killer working the neighborhood, I'd have believed you.
Bout broke my heart when the little, old lady said she doesn't celebrate Christmas anymore and gave away all her Christmas stuff.. I lost my mom dec 28 and others too but I learned how to carry on because thats what they would have wanted for me. God Bless and I'm glad they got this goof...
Ps know or attempt to believe this: IF your a good person you'll spend eternity with your love ones and this heinous chunk of excrement WONT BE ANYWHERE IN THE PICTURE.
I am so glad that the police put all their efforts into finding the killer. Others would have brushed it off because most of the victims being sex workers.
Yes, ........they put they efforts into it because they know that sex workers are human beings too , and they have family, they might have children , they are made of fresh so they had feeling when their were being killed 😢
@@TheCoxMan Wow, after 7 months you expect me to remember? Fine, let me try without watching the video again. As i remember they had a lead on the man before, i think he bought a weapon with the same caliber. And did not proper investigate, because he had an alibi. Something like this? Am i right?
@@helmutstransky3761 Properly investigate what? What are they going to do? At that point, when he bought the same caliber gun, he pretty much had to confess because they have no power to do anything else. They can't forcibly take DNA from him. And it's not like he's the only one who bought the same caliber gun in those 10 years, so trying to discreetly get DNA from thousands of people who are potential suspects because they purchased the same caliber is not reasonable.
That officer had a damn good reason to call said dude a scumbag and hurl insults. What they don't tell you is Daytona city council was being annoying bc they were trying to repress the media about warning the community because they were worried about the beach area's income. Many people don't realize how much $$$ comes in from the beach businesses alone & the announcement of a serial killer would have put a massive impact fiscally on those businesses. I remember bc I was in Jacksonville just north of Daytona and heard all about it from a friend of the family.
I live about 10 miles from Daytona. I don't even like driving through it. Chitwood became the chief of police and cleaned it up. He then became the head of the sheriff's department and the new chief has brought it back to the bad old days. Recently August 2024 they made panhandling legal.
Just watched a Criminologist seminar who stated there are about 3000 active serial killers at a time. Given the population of the US, it seems small.. yet it seems like a large number just the same
The people running Daytona beach have let criminals take over the beach. It use to be absolutely beautiful and pretty safe even at night. Now you don't want to go to Daytona at night. Not only that but the city made taxes their priority and allowed condos to be built along the entire coast line. These Condos section of the beach and claim it as their property making private land .you can't drive down the beach like you yse too.
Probably because usually serial killers fit that profile. Black serial killers are rare, but they do exist. Either way what a sad case... RIP to all of the victims!😞
Actually black serial killers are not rare. They are pretty much proportional to the population distribution. Strangely enough, DEI doesn’t apply to things like serial killing. Now, if you go solely by the FBI definition of 3 or more victims, the number of black “serial killers” explodes, but that’s because that definition would force them to include mass/gangland/drive by shootings.
I live in a town about 30 minutes west of Daytona. Daytona is a complete shithole. Riddled with crime, drugs, prostitution. The beach is actually gross It's so dirty, i have no idea why people travel there. Disgusting place
I had to take a couple classes at Daytona College - I was a UCF grad student. I chose to drive all the way to Orlando b/c DB sucks - and the freakin bikers ugh- gross horrid town.
As my wonderful, tender, devoted Catholic mother Theresa Hearn, who grew up during depression & knw hardships of life & effects on ppl's souls wld say as she blessed$$$ those she met in NYC streets often said- "That's somone's child" 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I followed this case for quite a few years as I actually lived in Daytona and that Ridgewood Avenue area from 1994 to 2001. I lost track of the case and hadn't really looked it up. This is the first time I'm hearing that they actually caught, tried and convicted the killer. Not sure why this wasn't bigger news nationally. I remember when they caught BTK Dennis Rader, Green River Gary Ridgeway, and more recently the Long Island Serial Killer Rex Huermann...you heard about it on the national news daily for a long time.
@@glitter-lk5dz They tried to keep the story of the Daytona Serial Killer quiet is what they said. If they caught the guy they should be telling everyone to HELP tourism. Your statement makes no sense and you didn't pay attention and comprehend the statement correctly. Thanks for sharing though...moron.
My heart really goes out to these officers. They do so much, every day, to Amel sure we are all safe and that the laws are being abided by and deserve our respect so much and the media allows things like, defund the police" to even be spoken ! I cannot imagine having to do their job, day in, day out, for very little pay. These are sons, daughters, siblings, parents, friends of people just like anyone else. It is definitely a calling, like teaching, preaching, the service. It's surely not for the pay, or accolades. They have a job to do, that is important and needed. They are included in my prayers always. ❤ 🙏
The fact that when interviewed the first time he stated he gave the gun to his mom, to bad they did follow through with a visit to the mom to confirm. He would have been caught a lot sooner.
LaQuetta’s mom wants to know WHY, but I don’t think there is a WHY beyond the fact that Robert Hayes is a really bad person, a selfish thief of others’ lives. He wanted free sex and he killed these women for the same reason he claimed the gun he supposedly gave to his mother was stolen: he didn’t want to pay for his crimes either. Robert Hayes is worse than worthless, and he will rot in prison until he dies and meets his maker.
I think when he gets to prison and they see his paperwork, she will be a victim and he's not a big guy so he's either going to be somebody's b**** or he's going to be dead in due time..
This is so sad. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the family.🙏🏾 But this is an example that life is short. Death is certain. Sin was the cause but Jesus Christ is the cure. Place your faith in Jesus Christ today and receive eternal life. Essentially, there are only two places we go after death the smoking section (hell) and the non smoking section (heaven). Where do you want to end up? The choice is yours!
There are thousands of active serial killers among us as of NOW! Sadly not enough help to track them down and there’s so many murders that it’s not publicized as often or at all to stop panic. And with the dna out there ppl are getting caught and if they haven’t eventually some will. And if you are reading my comment like it. But don’t forget there’s lots of us out here that SEE you and care about the victims! I am extremely obsessed with true crime especially serial killers documentary’s. This is a great true crime story ❤️🩹
@theresagomez2605 I'm white, and my mom way back in the 1960s was going to name me Juanita. I'm guessing because my father and her spent lots of time in the Bahamas back then (he had a construction company and built hotels). I'm guessing it's a popular name there.
I really like Laquetta's mother, she's a straight talking deep human being and it pisses me off that she has to live with this traumatic memory. Can't even celebrate Christms anymore. I really hope she's doing ok.
No doubt...listening to her talk & seeing how this has absolutely devastated this woman you just want to give her the biggest, warmest hug in the world...
I went to school with this guy. When I think back to those days, I recall seeing him walking around the campus randomly. He was always outside. Never in class, meetings, or the cafeteria. He would just roam around the campus in his flip flops. He was a cheerleader too. Thankfully, tho, he never murdered any students. He sparred us. We were all truly blessed! This is mind bottling. You just never know what monster you may have amongst you. RIP to all victims ❤ Great documentary, very local.
I would like to say thank you to Paul Holes for changing the game in catching these killers. If it wasn't your work catching the GSK law enforcement would have so many unsolved cases.
High security prisons are unrelentingly tiresome places. But he will adapt and find interests and activities enough to say he still has more of a life than those poor women.
Hometown tragedy be hitting my spirit in so many ways, I finally caught a video soon as it dropped. Awwww mom you wasn't square, but a great mom who wanted what was best for your beautiful daughter!! But for the grace of God there goes I, I had to get my life right and fast, loyalty and being naive got me in some predicaments that could have resulted in me not being here today. All the glory goes to my higher power, if it had not been for his grace and mercy I wouldn't be here to tell my story. Rest in heaven to the beautiful victims and their families!
Wow, I can surely relate. I'm fortunate that I grew up in a very small town, far from places that young people wanted to go. Plus, we couldn't afford for me to travel for things like spring break. I surely managed to get myself into some very risky situations though, & it's only by the grace of God that I didn't end up in a ditch somewhere. I drove my poor mom crazy. It's no wonder that she needed to take "nerve pills" as she called them. I'm glad she lived long enough to see me grow up & get my shit together. Thankfully, she only ever knew about a small percentage of my stupid antics. I had two older brothers, & my mom always said that raising me was harder than raising both of them. She was a wonderful woman, & I'm blessed to have had her for a mother. May she rest in peace with the knowledge that I'm doing well.

Sex workers are so vulnerable all while working a job they never wanted. It’s no wonder they’re the “go to” for killers, you don’t even have to “hunt”, victims literally get in the car. I would hate for my mom to learn I was found like Ms. Gunther was found, that’s more horrifying than death for me. Best wishes to the families.
That's no job. A job is a place where you take responsibility you learn skills you have chances for advance man you get paid based on a paycheck or profits from a business. You use the money to grow your business not to f****** buy drugs
Unfortunately, these sick people are everywhere, and way more than we even know about, just be vigilant, and don’t go out alone at night if you can help it. I hate guns, but I’m seriously thinking about taking a gun safety class and buying one for protection.
Barbara Rurak, Laquetta Gunther's Mom, seems like a strong, determined woman who loved her daughter very much. I'm sorry she had to shoulder the burden of this awful tragedy. None of the victims or their loved ones deserved the horror this man inflicted. Awful.
If they would have took Dna if a cup or bottle iff everyone that they interviewed whi had bought that particular gun then they would have got him year's ago ! Great Police work !
I remember being a kid when this was going on. I’d always see the women on ridgewood and feel sorry for them. Thank god the police never quit looking. My friends step dad got in a altercation with a prostitute and they grilled him for days and followed him everywhere. But his dna didn’t match. It was a crazy time
Im South Australian, but I never miss a new HomeTown tragedy episode I think it's a brilliant concept and very thoughtful and sympathetic of the victims families and the local community. The Town Council where I live, I'm 70% sure may never consider something alike this.
I appreciate this detective for the way he speaks about the victims, uses the proper term of sex worker when appropriate and speaks in a respectful manner about them either way. Because, like with any job, we are all human beings above any job description and we are deserve the same care & respect.
The word in the dictionary is prostitute , whore which is in the bible is derogatory . It's not a job , just as thieving or drug dealing are not jobs . All these are usually harshly addicted to hard drugs . They are expensive and most need criminal activities to support habits of hundreds a day .
What does a psychic charge the town of Daytona beach for a reading?? P.s. you’d think if psychics were legit they would be peddling their service for free and eager to help around the country. Seems to me it’s as Houdini determined
My brother was a college student in Daytona around 1970. He wasn't afraid of anything; I visited him in a tiny, dark apartment on a place called "Booze Alley," where you could watch stoners dance in the parking lot below, by the light from their vans' taillights.... If you told me there was a serial killer working the neighborhood, I'd have believed you.
Why would he be afraid? The majority of victims of serial killers are women.
Bout broke my heart when the little, old lady said she doesn't celebrate Christmas anymore and gave away all her Christmas stuff.. I lost my mom dec 28 and others too but I learned how to carry on because thats what they would have wanted for me. God Bless and I'm glad they got this goof...

Chubby's was my stepfather's bar. He knew the victim well. He used to give her free beer.
I am so glad that the police put all their efforts into finding the killer. Others would have brushed it off because most of the victims being sex workers.
Hahaha, better police would have caught him 10 years sooner. Officer DNA caught that guy, not those donutlovers.
Yes, ........they put they efforts into it because they know that sex workers are human beings too , and they have family, they might have children , they are made of fresh so they had feeling when their were being killed 😢

Her lovely mother is right, nobody deserves this…..
The person committing these crimes may have been a male, but not a man.
These are acts of pure cowardice.
Yep so true. I agree with Laquetta's mother too, it's better he has to suffer prison than get the death penalty tbh.
Demon
Almost always male. It's difficult as a woman not to hate and be repulsed by them. We don't know who is who. They ruin our lives..
love your documentaries. tysm for sharing these stories with such quality. prayers to the families involved

Not wanting your child to be a prostitute or drug addict is not square honey that’s ridiculous. Both of those things are detrimental to her soul.
So much for the Profiler's prediction and assertion that the Serial Killer was a middle-aged White Male...

It’s in Florida.
Never cared much for Daytona Beach. Nasty dirty town. Can only imagine how bad it is now
So glad they caught the monster!!
They need to put any dna into 23 and me, ASAP!!!!
Both the Profiler and the psychic were wrong- imagine my surprise!! I can’t believe both of those are still used in this day and age.
Such a sick coward
'Good' Riddance, to 'Evil' Rubbish.
It's terrible that police didn't look into his statement and contact his mother right away. They're responsible for those murders
No its the fault of the killer no one else .
Typical cops actually

So you track down a buyer of the exact gun in question and he tells you he gave it to his mother and there's no follow up?? Thats weird.

It’s a myth all women are forced into sex work. Plenty of women find it an enjoyable career. Look how popular Sugar babies and OnlyFans is.

Αυτά τα κτήνη είναι σαν την Λερναία Ύδρα, ένα κεφάλι κόβεις και 10 ξαναβγάζει
I remember being a kid when this was going on. I’d always see the women on ridgewood and feel sorry for them. Thank god the police never quit looking. My friends step dad got in a altercation with a prostitute and they grilled him for days and followed him everywhere. But his dna didn’t match. It was a crazy time
Im South Australian, but I never miss a new HomeTown tragedy episode I think it's a brilliant concept and very thoughtful and sympathetic of the victims families and the local community. The Town Council where I live, I'm 70% sure may never consider something alike this.
I appreciate this detective for the way he speaks about the victims, uses the proper term of sex worker when appropriate and speaks in a respectful manner about them either way. Because, like with any job, we are all human beings above any job description and we are deserve the same care & respect.
If you think that the term prostitute is derogatory, you're prejudiced.
Prostitute is a respectful word.
The word in the dictionary is prostitute , whore which is in the bible is derogatory . It's not a job , just as thieving or drug dealing are not jobs . All these are usually harshly addicted to hard drugs . They are expensive and most need criminal activities to support habits of hundreds a day .
Prostitute is in the dictionary , whore is on the bible and is offensive.
Julie Green ......... what sort of boyfriend or ANYONE (with any morals) would let a woman wlk late at night by themselves
I like what the detective said: "I actually don't like the term 'cold case' I like to say 'open' - we'll never give up on any of our victims".
So they had the killer. Let him go amd he killed 1x more at least. So sad
Not too many unsolved in future with DNA
Sick monster 👹
The great thing about this series is that it provides location to the hottest spots in every town ;)
The beaches in the mainland is gross 🤮 😂
Very dirty
Wasn't The brightest Bulb on the tree.
What does a psychic charge the town of Daytona beach for a reading??
P.s. you’d think if psychics were legit they would be peddling their service for free and eager to help around the country. Seems to me it’s as Houdini determined
My wife remembers this ,she was so scared she wouldn't leave the house!!!!
Funny, how years L8R, Life sneaks up, & bites him in the Ass.
I never heard of this serial killer before!
very sad
