Thank God for the scientist who found a way to test cremated remains for arsenic poisoning. Now they don't have an excuse that cremated remains cannot be forensically tested for poisoning. Well done.
I just don't understand how people can take advantage of anyone but especially our seniors. We should always have their best interest at heart even when nothing is received in return. Knowing we've done right by people is a reward itself.
R.I.P. Leita Lamoyne Nobles. And to think she lived to be 93 1/2 after being poisoned with Arsenic. So just imagine how long she would have lived if she never was poisoned.
@GlamRockCowboy. Thank you for sharing the update, it is appreciated. It is so sad to learn that Leita Nobles passed away. She was a feisty and strong lady so very cute in her ways. She must be truly missed by those who knew her. May Leita Rest in Peace always 🙏
To live to 90+ is a great achievement, but when including that she had ingested lethal doses of arsenic with apparent damage to her body, well... I doubt 99% of the world population could do the same. What a lady. She had iron constitution.
Brilliant work by the toxicologist. Were it not for his discovery the murderer would have got away with it. There’s a lesson here about being TOO trusting.
Also goes to show, careful of what you eat. If something does not taste right even if you can't taste it, better to toss it to stay safe rather than regret.
I study police culture. Texas Rangers may be the only department (shut down twice in late 19th and early 20th century for violence and corruption) that successfully reformed itself. Every other department had to be reformed by outside forces and it rarely holds. Texas Rangers are elite because they are very intelligent and ethical. It is also a small group , usually about 250 Rangers.
God bless mama that you survived otherwise this man still continue searching for victim, rip to the victims careful everyone, thanks to the great work of forensic team and to those who participates to solved the crimes❤
I'm a senior and trust no one. These trusting people let this murderer into their home and paid with their life's what a tragedy. When comes to money, 99% of people cannot be trusted. I have watched again and one thing I must say this scientist that have discovered how to from ashes the arsenic in their system it's amazing. What an contribute to the science.
@@enjoyingmyvodka1013 My friend you should working nonstop for your old age. When I was your age, I worked long hours so I could have place to live and have some many, and some S.S. income. Your comment made me laugh really...
@@enjoyingmyvodka1013 No no I didn't judge just it felt funny to me that's all I'm you have your reasons like we all have, honestly, I thought you were kidding that's why I laugh. You know with all the aches and pains that I have I still laugh, it's just a habit, but I hope you are Okay.
This is just as horrific as a violent murder. You have to be some kind of evil to prepare the poisoned food and sit there and watch them consume it then suffer until they die. This poor woman I'm glad she has the strength of many, incredible lady.
Leita is a tough woman! good grief...serial poisoners have got to be the most dangerous killers ever... prolonged killing and suffering, lying, diabolical...calculated
This is an episode to remember! They were able to detect arsenic poisoning after the bodies had been cremated! It's a first for forensic science. William D. James, you are a death saver. 🙏🏾
As of August 2024, he is still serving a life sentence in Texas. he is 69 years old. Parole Eligibility Date: 2003-10-05 He applied for parole many times, the last time in 2020 when his parole was refused. However, he has another chance in 2025.
Every now and then I share with myself a little moment of silence for all the ppl that gave their lives so that i can enjoy/fall asleep to an episode of forensic files
Sisters have the last laugh. I care for my elderly grandfather and his wife. Both 90. I can't imagine someone being able to drug and watch someone suffer to death. Takes a different kind of evil.
There was something very cute about Leta Nobles. Maybe it is the way she talked that made her so cute 😊 . She reminds me of an aunt from my father’s side of the family that I used to have being feisty, strong, and independent. Very much so. But as Leta was, my aunt was also a very good soul……and yes! She used to fight with her husband all the time but both of them were great people and loved each other very, very much. I used to laugh a lot watching them fight. 😊 Rest in Peace always Leta Nobles, you are together again with your husband Olgie in the afterlife 🌹🙏💐
As the old saying goes, "If you think you can commit the perfect crime there are 50 ways you're going to f*ck up. And you're considered a genius if you can figure out 25 of them." Fortunately in this case my guy was not a genius.
Committing a murder doesn't have to be perfect in order to get away with it. It just has to be perfect enough to not get caught. I mean just look at all of the unsolved murders through out history.
That's why most of these rich people keep their will secret or donate their wealth to charities. Being rich is one reason to die prematurely. I am glad she survived, her disabled son needed someone.
Scoggins was an evil predator looking for innocent victims to gain their trust. He was invited to live with them and he murdered them with arsenic. Leita survived ingesting the pioson but had lasting side effectsvfrom it. She had numbness inher fingers and toes and had difficulty walking. She was correct when she said money is the root to all evils. Great forensic work by the dr. Who found arsenic in creamated remains. Justice was served. Condolences to the family and friends of the victims. Rest in peace to all the victims.
I will forever love this show but it is kinda scary how some guy can just claim to come up with a new "procedure" to test something and send you to jail for the rest of your life based on those results
I think that the test would need to be “truthed” with 100 samples from non-poisoned cremains before it could be trusted by the courts. Nonetheless, the fact that the deceased old man and his surviving widow had been poisoned would be strong supporting evidence.
I'm sure they double checked the accuracy of the test with positive controls (with varying concentrations of arsenic) and negative controls to ensure that this is a qualified test to be used in the court of law. I highly doubt that they performed the test only once on the cremated remains and called it a day. After all, science is repetition and reproducibility.
Wow this case is insane, and what an evil man. Elder abuse is rampant unfortunately but murder?? It sakes a special kind of evil to murder anyone but especially elders.
So this sociopath didn’t even wait to confirm the ladies changed their will. Otherwise he would have had the money and nobody would have investigated. Thankfully often these FF sociopaths are impatient and somewhat stupid
Technically it should have been investigated after the sisters died. There was a red flag when he was angry that he wasnt in their will. Its not a normal reaction for you to be super concerned about the will specifics after you lived with them. More likely to enter shock.
Don't think because somebody is old that they have a good heart. For young evil people grow into old evil people. Just like young good hearted people grow into old good hearted people. But yes a older person is more vulnerable because of their weak bodies, and deteriorated brains.

God bless all you people that lived and cared enough to bring this man to justice. This is how good folks should be!!! Sorry for your loss.
The granny is tougher than James Bond!
She lived another 25 years!😊
Chuck Norris levels of toughness.
The most unbelievable thing about this case is that he was convicted of four murders in Texas and didn’t get the needle.
No, he was only charged with 1 murder, and 1 attempted murder.
I’m guessing because it wasn’t gorey and really hands on heinous. But yea, he should’ve
That scientist deserve a Nobel Prize!
agreed
Literally 😂😂
True!
Nah, they don't do that anymore. It is said that they go for a price
Brilliant work by the toxicologist. Were it not for his discovery the murderer would have got away with it.

Wonderful that Miss survived and killer was found to be the perpetrator of the other three deaths ! Justice served !! 💓
Lending him the money to buy their business and pay them the money back in installments was crazy.
The business sucked, they were just happy to find someone willing to buy it
People were nice back then. Losers like this guy ruined it
Got hooked on this program when I lived in the States a few years ago
So sad what happened to them. I think some seniors easily trust because they become dependent.
I love when they make the forensic history!..
I would have loved to see his face when he learned they cut him out of the will... nelson from the simpsons: "HAHA"
🤣
They didn't cut him out, they just never got around to including him like they promised. Clearly he didn't see to it that they did 🤣🤣🤣
@@adriangilbert5364 Exactly
Those Forensic Scientists are amazing 👏
Its the LOVE of money that is the root of evil and not money. Greed is a killer.. Money is just an innocent participant.
True. A simple concept for people to understand but most cannot process it.
One of the most often quoted MISquotes. You are spot on!
Leita is a tough woman! good grief...serial poisoners have got to be the most dangerous killers ever... prolonged killing and suffering, lying, diabolical...calculated
Yes, Leita is, or was no joke. For her strong will, and body's reactions made her survive.
you single baby?
@@aljabirxiju9475 Dude, you have no chance.

Tough lady!!! I aspire to be like her!! 😀
Forensic scientists are the best thing in discovering foul intent.
Grateful bc No one should get away with murder.
Leita died at the age of 93 in 2012...what an iron horse.
The Norton sisters estate still sits in Texas to this day.
Mrs. Leita seemed like a sweet woman. She reminds me of my late grandmother.
As of August 2024, he is still serving a life sentence in Texas. he is 69 years old.
Parole Eligibility Date: 2003-10-05
He applied for parole many times, the last time in 2020 when his parole was refused. However, he has another chance in 2025.
Leita Nobles died in 2012 after a short illness and their son died in 1995
Wow, she outlived her son by several years.

Scoggin looks like Kip from, Napoleon Dynamite (2004). He probably sounded like him too.
How could Napoleon Dynamite's brother do them like that?

That's why most of these rich people keep their will secret or donate their wealth to charities. Being rich is one reason to die prematurely. I am glad she survived, her disabled son needed someone.
Money is not the root of all evil. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
I agree with you. That is what the Bible says.
All the time he spent catering to rich people, he could of worked or started a business and could’ve made decent money.
He had a business. Remember the old couple loaned him the money to buy there business.
Leita said it. Money is the root of all evil
and with a trustworthy Mustache like his...i never would have guessed he could have done it
“Coldbloodedest”😂
That one never should be out penitentiary !!!! Old ladies got last laugh on him 🤣🤣.

Does anyone know a place that test cremains for poisons?
My Mother told me that my grandmother had been poisoned when she was 13 years old in 1996 and my grandma she survived
He wanted to live a luxury life instead he got settled for life in jail that he don't have to worry about bills
I watch every show so I can learn how people think even ur enemies or a friend
I watched all these to go to sleep
She was right almost... The love of money is the root of all evil. I believe she was right because this killer certainly had a love for money.

Cremation does not leave simply ash. Small fragments of bone remain which the crematory will grind up and combine with the ashes.
