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.
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 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...
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.

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 😢
@@IRatherbeTrashthanADemocrat 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 .
@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 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.
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.
@@Jamalcornbread1488- Daytona being a shit hole is not the fault of gay people or a dating app for the LGBTQ+ community. What a bigoted & inappropriate statement. Daytona started to steadily decline & get more seedy & unsafe back in the mid 1990’s. Not because of the gay community either.🤦🏻♀️ The drugs, drinking, prostitution, crime, & general unkempt nature of the town were the far bigger problem. In fact, gay people in a community tend to invest in property, start businesses, start families, be educated & gainfully employed, & more. A perfect example of a beach town that had started to slowly but steadily decline & become more seedy sort of like Daytona Beach is Rehoboth Beach, DE. The gay community from the DC/MD/VA area started vacationing there in the mid 1980’s & then steadily building &/or buying homes, shops & restaurants. They invested in beautification of their properties & the town as a whole. They also became involved in town & county politics & public service. When you go to Rehoboth Beach today, it is such a charming, pretty, well-kept town, w/ a thriving economy & community of people who live there full-time or all summer. Tourism is at a high level, especially for families. Please don’t be so quick to judge others just because you don’t accept or understand a person being gay. Being gay isn’t a “lifestyle choice,” as too many still claim. Educate yourself, please. Did you choose to be heterosexual or did you just know you were from the time you were a teen? Same thing for those who are gay.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Sorry that I am so late to the home hunting party, but I have been knee deep in becoming a fellow Nevadan‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽 It is official and I chose the community that I asked you to tour for me. You were correct ~ 10/10❣️ I am so happy and appreciate you so much for all of the assistance you have provided me. This is a brilliant choice for a family, and I 100% agree with you about purchasing vs buying. There is far more involved than just the monthly mortgage. My son is a home owner back east. It cost him $10,000 to unexpectedly repair an appliance. My niece is also a back east homeowner and must replace her roof prior to this winter. I am a happy renter. I hate responsibility. 🤣
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
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.
@@josephlalock8378 I had a house on Taylor Avenue near Madison. I always hung out at Rowsey's and Dakota Joes for the most part in Holly Hill. Until I quit drinking that is. LOL
0:33 The cop equating "animal" with sick, sadistic, and scumbag is a scumbag himself for dragging animals into it. For one thing we are all animals and that's not a bad thing. And another thing, other non-human animals are not sick, sadistic scumbags. Only humans are.
My high school classmate and neighbor I was so shocked when this came out on the news he was always so cool and he was in ROTC this is not the path i expected him to take 😢😢 prayers to the victims and the families ❤
Wow that FDLE Special Agents profile was way off. A middle aged suburban white male huh... I think it's time he finds a new job. He's the complete opposite of the profile.. lol 😂
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. ❤ 🙏
I can’t believe they took his word for it when they first interviewed him. They dropped the ball. They did work very hard and finally caught him. Human error,it happens. We have a great police department and sheriffs department here in Florida.
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..
Why didn't the police call his mom to verify what he said? One phone call might have got him YEARS earlier...someone else might not have died. And that 12th jurier....WHAT is your problem????
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.
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
Let me think, he wasn’t a suspect but he bought the correct weapon, claimed he gave it to mom, then claimed it was stolen! That’s called a series of clues guys

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.

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..

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 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.
Um… no, they followed up. Hence the arrest.
They followed up with his mom years later, not right away. @@tylerskiss

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.
So glad they caught the monster!!
Unfortunately it does make a difference what she did in her life, because that is the reason why she was killed
Sorry that I am so late to the home hunting party, but I have been knee deep in becoming a fellow Nevadan‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽 It is official and I chose the community that I asked you to tour for me. You were correct ~ 10/10❣️ I am so happy and appreciate you so much for all of the assistance you have provided me. This is a brilliant choice for a family, and I 100% agree with you about purchasing vs buying. There is far more involved than just the monthly mortgage. My son is a home owner back east. It cost him $10,000 to unexpectedly repair an appliance. My niece is also a back east homeowner and must replace her roof prior to this winter. I am a happy renter. I hate responsibility. 🤣
i knew laquetta and whitey gunther back in the early/mid 90s. good people. rip.
Why don't they do the DNA background?
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 !
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
@@bdml77They solved a serial killer case with very little actual evidence to find the killer.
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.
'Good' Riddance, to 'Evil' Rubbish.
Nothing good ever comes from alcohol and drugs. It's a losing game. A gamble with a sure lose. And no one is*tough," against the evil.
We lived in DeLand Fl for 19 years and I remember this very well. My son was still in high school when this happened.
As usual, psychics were eager to put their two cents' worth to obfuscate a very difficult case.
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
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" 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Such a sick coward
This detective is a good speaker and seems like a decent sort.
Ever since i got You Tube in living room on big screen i have watched nothing else. Great job. You Tube
I never heard of this serial killer before!
They need to put any dna into 23 and me, ASAP!!!!
Not too many unsolved in future with DNA
My wife remembers this ,she was so scared she wouldn't leave the house!!!!
I'm so sorry for their loose ....
...not to mention their LOSS
If only they were tight
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.
As mentioned in this video, because of Daytona tourism,
the story was kept quiet.
@@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.
madison & ridgewood was my hood from '92-'02. i moved away but always came back to hang out with tall tom.
@@josephlalock8378 I had a house on Taylor Avenue near Madison. I always hung out at Rowsey's and Dakota Joes for the most part in Holly Hill. Until I quit drinking that is. LOL
@@diehardskins4109 i used to hang out at dakota joes on occasion. good pool tables. lil lisa was hot af.
I was living in Orlando when this took place, I worked at Jack Nickolas golf course.
0:33 The cop equating "animal" with sick, sadistic, and scumbag is a scumbag himself for dragging animals into it. For one thing we are all animals and that's not a bad thing. And another thing, other non-human animals are not sick, sadistic scumbags. Only humans are.
Julie Green ......... what sort of boyfriend or ANYONE (with any morals) would let a woman wlk late at night by themselves
So tragic.😢 My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
My high school classmate and neighbor I was so shocked when this came out on the news he was always so cool and he was in ROTC this is not the path i expected him to take 😢😢 prayers to the victims and the families ❤
Sick monster 👹
THERE IS NO SORRY 😢!!!!!
Wasn't The brightest Bulb on the tree.
14 years to catch the killer.
Better late than never?
In case you get confused Mike Chitwood was Daytona Police Chief and then later Volusia County Sheriff.
Glad. They. Caught. The man. After. So. Long. From. Aus.
Some justice. May the women rest peacefully 🕊.
Wow that FDLE Special Agents profile was way off. A middle aged suburban white male huh... I think it's time he finds a new job. He's the complete opposite of the profile.. lol 😂
Αυτά τα κτήνη είναι σαν την Λερναία Ύδρα, ένα κεφάλι κόβεις και 10 ξαναβγάζει
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. ❤ 🙏
I can’t believe they took his word for it when they first interviewed him. They dropped the ball. They did work very hard and finally caught him. Human error,it happens. We have a great police department and sheriffs department here in Florida.
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..
very sad
Why didn't the police call his mom to verify what he said? One phone call might have got him YEARS earlier...someone else might not have died.
And that 12th jurier....WHAT is your problem????
Don't do sex work it's dangerous
That's crazy I was just there last week 😲
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.
he has alot of hate for women from his mother abusing him from a early age! He raised himself. He is strong too and seems to lure girls with money
i like this channel but sometimes the music is too loud and distracting
Try the Shelli Wiley Laramie Wyoming 1985 case
Live in Laramie I believe they arrested the man
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
The beaches in the mainland is gross 🤮 😂
Very dirty
Wow chitwood looks young there!!
So they had the killer. Let him go amd he killed 1x more at least. So sad
Detectives/cops are not dedicated to families of victims. They are dedicated to their egos. It's an 'us vs them' game to cops.
Let me think, he wasn’t a suspect but he bought the correct weapon, claimed he gave it to mom, then claimed it was stolen! That’s called a series of clues guys
