Good evening from Australia Jiles and lovers of his channel 😊❤
Hi from South Australia 😁
@@wendelee8639 hi from Melbourne 😊
Hi from Bendigo 👋
Hi from Southern California United States!
Nice one! Another south Aussie here. 👋
I just heard this for the first time today, 37 years and one day after my parents were found. Pretty good job with only minor flaws but it is a very convoluted story which takes much longer to tell the entire story than you would have in a podcast. y the way, Kirksey Nix has applied for a compassionate release due to his arthritis. He should get out when every person either he has murdered (6 or 7 since he was incarcerated) or caused to be murdered can walk out of their graves! Lynne Sherry Sposito
This channel gets better and better. You put a lot of effort into your videos.
I appreciate that!
This is old an terrible case, once I heard the word Beloxy I knew it was it. When this tragedy occurred I was young and I used to think that my country, Mexico, was one of the few corrupt places, not the US where my mom was a Finish that became an American citizen. Money is very, excessively adored by most of our society. Thanks for reading. Sandra. 🇲🇽

Jiles does outstanding research work and flawless delivery.
Appreciate the dry humour and sound ethics which is all important to my mind- we don't need weak minded criminal copycats!
So glad for such high much needed STANDARDS and NO ADS.❤
Perhaps Rigor Mortis and impact of blood splatter might be more fully described? They seem to be still very mysterious phenomena.
Thank you again for your great work.❤
His delivery sucks. Always the same inflection at the end of EVERY sentence.
I'm in 🇧🇯 Benin Republic... I heard Angola and was like.... Hold up... That's an international crime AND WHICH PRISONER IN ANGOLA HAS MONEY TO SEND TO AMERICA???? 😂
Today I learned that there's an Angola in Louisiana.... 😅
I thought the same thing. I was like damn this guy's phone bill must be massive 😂
There's also an Angola Indiana.
@@justinjones7506 all this knowledge in one day... I can't take it!!!!! 😂
That confused me too. 🤪
Yeah, it's where a state prison is located in Louisiana. A very notorious one, at that. It has a long history that includes a large number of prisoner deaths, prisoners mysteriously "disappearing" from there, decades of prisoners being murdered by guards and buried on the grounds in secret, horrible conditions that you wouldn't leave a dog in, never mind a human, beatings and basic torture and a decent number of prison breaks. Back in the 1950s, a bunch of prisoners cut their own Achilles tendons as a way of protesting the conditions so people would finally take notice. Imagine how bad it had to be for 30+ grown men to decide that permanently crippling themselves was the only choice they had to bring attention to the goings on and get the state to do something about it. Even for many years after (and long before this) it was known as one of the worst prisons to be sent to. Today I believe it is the largest maximum security prison in the US with a large main complex and several outpost type camps. They have a working farm and ranch, where inmates take care of the animals and train horses and care for cattle to be sold. It has it's own airstrip, it's own magazine and is the only US prison to have it's own radio station. It also has a dog training facility. They manufacture farming equipment and tools and every year, it has the Angola Rodeo, which is open to the public. The inmates do all the work with the horses and such for it and those that do crafting such as woodworking, leather crafting and such can set up booths to sell their products to make money to go into their accounts, though if they owe any court ordered restitution, the money they make goes towards that.
Thank you so much for the captions! It must take so much time and effort but it has not gone unnoticed or undappreciated.You rock.
Big hugs/fist bumps/smiles to Jiles and anyone else who is reading this right now. Stay awesome :)
Thanks so much!
I just can't get enough of Jiles and his 3 channels
Thank you Sir ~~ I appreciate you ~~
How has this not been turned into a screenplay by now?!
I was wondering the same thing! 🙂👍
There is one it's called cornbread Cosa norsta..I think..but it's based on it an fictionalized..
My dogs know we're getting settled down for a good chill on the sofa when they hear “This... is Monsters. Do-do-do, do-do-do”
😂
Hi doggos
@@polarbearsaysyummy5845Aroooof !

Here's a tip for people trying to expose corruption in the police or government. DON'T tell anyone who will listen that you're going to expose massive corruption
Were you referring to the Clintons?
@@TheVertigoalley TRUMP
@@VirginiaForbes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Try not to bring up irrelevant politicians in a UA-cam comment section challenge FAILED YET AGAIN bc ppl have no lives. 😂😂
Totally agree… and be prepared ahead of time to make sure family is safe… and that their is irrefutable crystal clear evidence.
Our Mayor in Mobile, Al, about an hour away, recently published a letter to the Mayor of Biloxi calling them out for their police basically forcibly taking homeless individuals and transporting them to our city and just dumping them near shelters here. They have surveillance photos of patrol cars doing it and a ton of interviews with the same story from the people they dropped off.
Found this channel and now my favorite by far. Need my fix of monsters every night. I'm hookdd
Thanks so much!
Is this the maker of this channel or helper? Anyways great work. Best true crime channel by far and funniest
I'm Jiles. I do it all.
Love from an ADHD riddled madman who watches your videos at double speed to cram the voice into his brain more efficiently in New Zealand who wanted to get in on the early comment opportunity and couldn't think of anything of value to say.
Earlier I wrote a comment saying "I bet Pete did it" but I deleted it coz I was worried I'd look dumb if I was wrong. Shoulda trusted my gut on this one.
🧡
❤
Riddle me this, what bird can't fly and has a fruit named after it?
@@davidpawson7393 oh I know this one! The ostrich.
Well...this story went south quick. Lol! What a ride! Whew! I figured Pete did it but the crazy motives with political and underworld twists and turns had me captivated and surprised. Thanks Jiles
As much as I adore Jiles' sweet mug, I do prefer the voice-over presentation. Defenitely one of the best narrators in the business 👌
Yay, thank you!
@@thisisMONSTERS No, thank YOU, Giles-with-a J! ☺️
Incredible. The script for a "based on a true story" feature film, and the expert way you always tell stories, make me think that you should write it. I think Lynne's rol on the investigation was exemplary. She demonstrated a strong love and loyalty toward her parents.
Thank you Miguel! Mom and Dad had reared all of us that if we saw something wrong, you did the best to rectify the situation. I was merely following my upbringing. It strange to think that I just saw this when looking for something else: Today is 37 years and 1 day after they were found. To my knowledge, this was fairly accurate. Interesting side note was that during the initial questioning of myself, Leslie and Eric one of the first things I was asked was the birth order of the children and were we all the natural children of my parents. My thoughts raced as I reached over and clicked off there tape recorder and asked, "What in the hell does that have to do with anything?" They said they knew it was my brother Eric and they theorized that he had recently found out he was adopted and became so angry he murdered them. While my mind raced as to how they had learned this as it was a closely guarded family secret I told them that I know this is a strange thing to say about an adopted child but even if in my wildest thoughts IF Eric had been that angry, he ever could harm Mm in any way as they were like the cord was never cut! I also queried them as to if he was angry enough to do this might he also be that angry with me since I was nearly 7 years old when we got Eric, and he and I were very close. I did find out sometime later that the adoption was called into the Crimestoppers hotline and the woman that was transcribing this recognized the caller's voice as that of Peter Halat! I know that for a fact as one of the police officers at BPD had let me read the entire case file to see if I found inaccuracies. This same police officer when the information on the scams and its goals came to light as well as Pete's involvement, stated "get it out of here. I am going to be working for that murdering SOB in a few months." He also stated that the case was going to kill him one day. He did die of a heart attack sometime later; RIP Mike Meaut. We (Rex and I) then took it to the DA and the HCSD and started getting some action. More accurate and in greater depth was the book written by Edward Humes, Mississippi Mud. Lynne Sherry Sposito
If politics is so dirty at this minor level, imagine what the big boys had to do to get into national and global level politics.
This was more than politics it is very deep. I live on biloxi my family has been here for generations. It's Dixie mafia ..
Exactly
Jiles, thanks for busting your butt to give us videos while you move your family across the planet! We appreciate you and your dedication!
This one is local to me sadly. You did a great job on managing to squeeze so much (accurate) info into 43 minutes my friend. Looking forward to your next vid. ❤
This is monster and somewhere sinister are amazing!! You’re a great storyteller but even more investigative journalist. Your work on the details to make the story better and insightful are amazing. Thank you 🫡
Another great video. Been sick amd binge watching the last few days. You do a great job and easily becoming my favorite true crime channel
Whew! I was having a nightmare I was asleep in my parents house, so glad I have my notifications on!!!
I truly appreciate the plethora of new details you give the stories you do that are well publicized ❤❤❤❤
I remember this. The Dixie "Mafia" and the Sherry murders certainly do deserve a well written major movie.
Your voice is magic, your content superb and always sad.
Thank you ❤
💯❤💜💙❗
Do I detect a southern accent?
Great episode! All kinds of twists! 😳😳 So glad their kids know the truth.
What was primary in our concern was getting a murderer off the streets and put them in jail so folks were safe from them. We wanted it solved correctly not conveniently as if you convicted the innocent, you let a murderer run free. Never in our wildest dreams did we think a murder could be ordered by someone who was incarcerated! All it takes is money to buy off guards to use untapped phones and crooked attorney! Lynne
Jiles, I miss seeing your face! I loved when you made appearances during your videos! 😭 Wow, this story got so wild, I never expected all the twists!! I've read on the Marshall Project about corruption and dire issues at Angola prison that are still going on/being investigated to this day. Crazy! Thanks, Jiles ❤
I love your videos. I live about 20 minutes from Biloxi and always get excited to listen to your take on local crimes. ❤
Perfect timing as usual! I always say out loud "yay a new one!!"
Thanks for all the details on this fascinating episode. This should be turned into a movie!
It is called cornbread Cosa norsta but it's based on it an fictionalized
Jiles, do you or would you ever narrate audiobooks? You'd be fantastic.
I would so listen.
This is an amazing idea! ❤❤
Even if I didn’t like the genre, I’d listen. 😅
Your one of my favourite story tellers. I love all your work on UA-cam.
Great timing on this vid, just started my shift!
The moment i heard corruption I told my husband Dixie Mafia.. lmao Hubby says i need a new hobby😂
Me too😂I’m born from there. Lmaoo
Wow ! You're the Man on Fire 🔥 Thank you. Sending love and blessings from Georgia USA 🇺🇸🙏❤
I’m glad you’ve shortened the intro 👍the videos are good and I like to get to it
Margaret didn't know the enemy was in her circle how tragic
Great video! I'm so happy that this case was solved. Thank you for your amazing work
This whole case was insane! I could swear you were telling me about the new Reacher season. 😮
well done on job narration yet again, 👏
I thought I heard you mention that you were in construction for almost 20 years? Me too, I bet when this started really taking off it was huge breath of fresh air. I’m always looking for that golden ticket out of the trades.
Thank you, Giles love waking up to an episode of this is monsters xx
As always, great video! You never fail to deliver while staying respectful and letting your humanity show from time to time. I appreciate you, broham.
The FBI Files did an awesome episode on this case. I highly suggest it!
There's so many suspects in this story, I expected to hear Tupacs Killers name !😊
Good morning everyone reading this. Have an amazing day❤
I got to tell you I love your videos. You tell stories extremely well! And thank you for them I look forward every time I see one even if I watched it I always click on it
I have to listen to at least 1 episode a day ,,,,I love your voice , clarity,& your stories,,,
Ow, Angola is a prison. I thought you were talking about the country (Nigeria / Africa lonely hart scams and all) 🙃........ ❤ your channel.
And a very notorious one. If you're interested in things like that, you should look up the history of Angola prison. Several books have been written by former inmates and interviews done by various news media. I've seen a couple of old documentaries that either include Angola or are about it itself. Lots of corruption, inmate abuse, decades of horrible conditions, deaths, escapees, etc. It was known as the worst US prison for a long time,mwith even hardened criminals getting nervous when they heard they'd be sent there. Today it's the largest maximum security US prison that has its own working farm, horse and cattle ranch, K9 dog training, manufacturing and services like an airstrip used to transport prisoners.
Someone named John Ransom doing crime? No way.
No way.
Not with an honest name like that 😂
😀
Yup. 😂
Wow, this one is absolutely insane. Great job man!!
This is Monsters 😊, good morning Jiles ❤
Looks like it's the week to tell the story of children trying to find their parents murderers. That Pete was a hell of a friend. With friends like that ...
Word to the wise .dont come to the comments first otherwise plot killers will destroy your intrigue 😂
I Have seen this story done in a dramatic way.. The guy used lonely gay prisoner ruse to blackmail the money for the defence lawyer and it was all done in jail and it was industrious the guy had made enough from that in jail to buy anything. Sad story ..
Thanks sir amazing effort GOD bless you all the best 👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️
There's a great episode of the FBI Files on this case. It's a classic, everyone should check it out. Nice work J.
Stunning the amount of effort you put into this crazy sad case. Well done T.I.M!
Can't sleep, yay a new Monsters 6 min ago woo hoo! Thank you!
I miss Jiles being in the videos, but STILL HAPPY ❤🇺🇲🏳️🌈 to have content from him! Time to settle in for a new video here in Newport, New Hampshire, USA ❤
Hello from Atlanta ❤🏳️🌈
Amazing of the daughter to fight for justice in the face of all those crooked individuals. Its very sad such a close friend would go to such levels to get what he wanted. She was an amazing woman wanting to clean up those who shouldn't be in power and so sad to lose someone who wanted to go into politics for the right reasons. I hope the children have had happy lives despite this profound lose of their loving parents.
If you don't know nothing else, you better know that your family and your friends are the ppl most likely to hurt and/or take advantage of you aka exploit you.
Pete wasn't actually a close friend. He was a law partner of Vince, but Margaret detested him and didn't want him coming to the house.
I’m annoyed the FBI or any other law enforcement didn’t keep a special eye on Margaret given all the people she was going to take down. If someone were to try to carry out a hit on her and her husband, police would have been able to add another name to the list of who was involved in the entire scheme in the first place too.
Great video! This was also on City Confidential 😳!
Let's go fellow monsters from around the world hi fellow Aussie monsters lv your channel jiles thanks
Still one of my favorite and best Yt channels.
Thank
Jiles, you have outdone yourself. Kudos!
I did know the secret. Lol
Haven't stayed here yet. We have a trip scheduled here for a week second week of September. Already can't wait for HHN.
I've stayed at Cabana Bay. Way to many kids for my taste. But it's still really good. Great view.
Thank you Jiles great pod cast. As always my favorite pod cast
I love the way you keep us hanging. Was it the partner? The mayor? The SON?! 😮
Love your voice. It soothes me. And i love listening to your videos.
Jiles your timing is everything as usually. I love this channel
I heard a slightly different version of this you did a much better job
"There's no honor among theives," what an absolute truth saying!!!!
Heck yes, kicking off Monday morning right!
ANGOLA? WTH? LOL!
Wikipedia > The Louisiana State Penitentiary (known as Angola, and nicknamed the "Alcatraz of the South", "The Angola Plantation" and "The Farm"[8]) is a maximum-security prison farm in Louisiana operated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. It is named "Angola" after the former slave plantation that occupied this territory. The plantation was named after the country of Angola from which many slaves originated before arriving in Louisiana.
Happy Holidays from Ga
Bon Matin, my fellow monsters! Beaucoup love from south Louisiana
Yaaasss day just improved 100%, 🙏🥳❤️
Dachshunds might not be seen as a serious threat, but it doesn't stop them from being fierce & protective.
This may have been mentioned, I haven’t finished the video. But… if they were going out of town to visit their daughter, why didn’t the daughter get suspicious when they didn’t show up?? 🤔
The Dixie Mafia and Kirksey Nix... I hadn't thought about these guys for a very long time... Never ran in their circles, but I have a cople of friends that were on the periphery from all of this...
34:50 What on earth did she go to the Biloxi police department for? Especially knowing that narc officer was at least probably involved? And her father's law partner now being the mayor?
That is at minimum a state police department, but more of a case to take to the FBI. Too many locals involved. That's almost a written request to be next on the list or for a sibling to wind up killed.
That story had more twist and turns than a bag full of snakes 😮
More than a macaroni salad!
Gotta love when an American pronounces ‘foyer’! All jokes aside, great work Jiles, thanks for your coverage. You are worth more than your weight in gold. ♥️
Thank you Jiles🙏🏼💔🕊️
Yoooo I grew up in Biloxi! I never heard of this! 😮
This would make an excellent film. Major players flying through my head!
I love your videos. Thank you Jiles
Stunning! that Biloxi Mafia disease has an atrocious record. Very very sad.
According to the mafia, the mafia does not exist. 😅
And now Biloxi is full of casinos. The bad guys won after all. The quaint little town of Biloxi is no more! Margaret didn’t want the casinos either.
This...the locals didn't want the casinos either the Dixie mafia did...an they won..I miss my quite town 😢
I thought you were talking about the country Angola. I kept thinking "Why's this guy locked up in Angola?" "What's he doing in Angola?"
Angola is a country? Must be in Africa or Asia.
I remember this one from The FBI Files (With Mr. Kallstrom from the New Yahk Ahffice")
This was so interesting!
Right on time 🫡
new upload yes sir!!!
Babe wake up new monsters just dropped
Oh wow 43min!! Love it!
Instant click when tiM drops!
Good afternoon my fellow monsterers from rainy England
