15 Decades Old Cases Solved By the Internet (Insane Twists)

[@WaiferThyme]

When Indonesia had the tsunami in 2004 , there was a plea for people to help look through lists of thousands of names of injured people and lists of people reported missing. I volunteered and was sent two lists. One of people in hospitals and one of the missing people's names submitted by their families. So many names . Thousands . After 2 or 3 days of looking, I matched 1 name. A man from California reported lost by his family and found injured but alive in one of the hospitals. The hospital list had a phone number and if I remember rightly, he was given a patient number as well. The missing persons list had a family email address. I emailed them the info I had and a few days later got a reply that it was their Dad! And they were going to Indonesia to bring him home! That was such an amazing feeling! So many names. So many dead. I only found 1 match but for that family 1 was enough 😊

[@millawitt1882]

[@lowrider81hd]

I agree! It was outstanding work! I bet her mother had her killed, that’s why she didn’t report her daughter missing. She must’ve wanted her out of the way before she talked, because she probably slaved her out to ‘clients’ at the truck stop she ran. That’s why Tammy would ride with complete strangers in trucks. I bet it’s a lie too that “Tammy frequently ran away”, made up by the mother to justify Tammy getting in big rigs and be gone and used by drivers before she returned, and mom pocketing the money. I bet things got uncomfortable because Tammy was gonna talk, and mom had to get rid of her. She probably paid a drifter or a driver to execute her.

The father posted his family's grief on Facebook, receiving thousands of well-wishes.... Approximately a week later, Haley is pulled over by a cop in a different state during a routine traffic stop. When he ran her ID, it came up that she was a runaway. Her father was notified, he hopped a flight and retrieved Haley, and they both returned back home, to live happily ever after.... and that's the end of the story. No explanation as to why she ran away. No assurances that she won't do it again. She's 17yo, so can legally leave in less than a year if she wants to. I'm happy that she willingly returned home to her family... but again... what was the point of the story?

[@CRose777]

Right. I thought i missed something and had to rewatch it🤦🏽‍♀️. I dont see the point

[@tgfabthunderbird1]

Something was not right. Why did the girl just take off, with no warning, leave an ambiguous note and so forth? Could be she just needed to get away, I don't know, but that was weird. If that was my daughter, I'd be relieved she was OK, but I'd be mad as hell at her too for worrying everyone. But some families are different.

When i saw the notification that you uploaded, i was so excited and knew i had watch the whole video as soon as i was home and had the time to watch it. Im glad it was a really long video, too, bc every video you upload are very interesting but sad at the same time. Im just glad that all these case were finally solved and the family and friends of the victims can rest knowing that the people involved were behind bars.

[@Mysterious5s]

Thank you for your support.

[@rebecca4257]

Poor Andrea 💔 She never had anyone on her side, until after her death 😭 how heartbreaking.💔

[@lowrider81hd]

I don’t know if Tammy Jo Alexander’s mother has ever been investigated but to me this is a family crime; she showed no signs of sexual abuse, was found fully clothed…, I bet her mother had her killed by a truck driver or a drifter to get rid of her. The fact that her mother never even reported missing her is the red flag. Why should she report her missing? She knew her daughter was gone.

[@faithchloe6315]

Abraham 😔💔 The world didn’t deserve your kindness

[@joyceyagoda4207]

Disgusting that a felon can adopt a child!

[@CourtneyFairbanks-d2s]

Disgusting you don’t know what constitutes a felony and that often felons are in trouble for drug possession and not hurting children. DB.

[@Lena__P]

Great work! Thanks for the upload! 😁

[@Mysterious5s]

Thank you for watching

[@sandhanitizer15]

That guy who did the facial reconstruction photo on Tammy's case did an amazing job. That looked like a photo of her.

[@CrystalDorsey-xk8xf]

Case workers make me sick they are not for the kids

[@DannaShaffer]

I’ve lived in Texas my whole life. I’m 43 now. When did they change the age of adult to 17? Because it’s been 18 as long as I can remember.

[@JorGrey16]

It was always 17 for as long as I can remember I lived in Dallas my whole life.

[@DannaShaffer]

@@JorGrey16 Looked it up. You’re not legally an adult until 18 in Texas. Which, like I said was the law as long as I knew it. Maybe they’re confusing age of consent with legal adulthood? They’re not the same thing. So if that’s truly what that officer said he lied. One of my best friends growing up got married at 17. Her mother had to sign papers to allow it because she wasn’t a legal adult. So she could sleep with the guy, but not marry him legally without parental consent. (Although he was 20, so I’m not sure if legal consent counted there, either.)

[@bronxbutterflyrivera78]

Susan rainwater was a beautiful lady. May her soul rest in peace

[@heyysimone]

I live in New Zealand and I remember Linda's story being on twitter. It amazed me that someone thought up something like creating a persona of Linda to tell her own story. Its such a simple idea but it was genius. I dont blame the secretary for not letting her use the phone - how was she to know Linda would leave instead of wait, and how was she to know Linda's life would end so horrirically! I am so glad her killer was found. For Susan Rainwater's case, the r/user geoff/jeff (spelling) who knew the car part basically straight away - kudos man that was amazing. Aundria Bowman's case was so obvious. It wasnt a 'who dunnit?' it was a 'he did it!' Why the hell do the police and social services take children back to the foster homes they claim is where abuse has happened, and talk to the abusers with the child there at the same time, because a kid will the be scared to talk in front of them, or the adult will say 'she was making it up, werent you.' Then to *LEAVE* the child with that abuser?!!!! And then act shocked when that child goes missing. As well as not telling her biological mother for 20 years, that she had gone missing!! Authorities and peoples whose job it was to literally make sure she was in a safe home completely failed her.

[@Rayraycat32]

There was no justice for the Rainwater family. The judicial system is a joke. 4 years is an insult.

[@beai2231]

rest peacefully to all the victims🙏

[@laurenteec]

Jason Callahan is the one that is the craziest to me. I remember “grateful doe” and the mystery has stayed with me for years

Somehow I missed the notification bell 🤦‍♀️ Thank God the algorithm brought you to my feed. The algorithm KNOWS how much I love your channel and the longer your uploads are the more I bout tinkle! 💦 😂 It’s 3:30am and I’m about an hour in, but I’m sad because there’s less than an hour left 😔😩😢🤧 After this one ends I’ll go to your channel and find another video to watch. (I just hope there is one I HAVENT seen but I’m not above rewatching one🙏🏻) Until we meet again, you will be missed 😢❤️✌🏻

Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it.

Amazing work❤ thank you for the video

Thank you too!

[@bellydancerkristen]

....confessed to SEVERAL hundred others in the 80's!?! 😮 Several. Hundred. How does that happen!? The more I learn about the state of the USA at the time of my childhood the more I am amazed I frikkin survived. 😮🤦🏻‍♀️

[@BeverlyBamburyA]

Henry Lee Lucas lied about nearly all of them. There's a documentary called (I think) The Confession Killer where it shows how the police gave him lots of attention, and Lucas liked it so he did anything he could to keep it: including saying he committed murders he didn't do. Anyway I'm over simplifying it, but it's worth digging into.

[@in.meraki]

45:00 My respect for Todd Matthews, who spent 10years trying get justice for an unknown person.❤❤❤

[@CarebearCal]

I know its being pedantic but this video is supposed to be crimes solved after decades. While what happened to Susan Rainwater is horrible, it was only 5 (and a half) years ago while a decade is 10 years

[@lindasue8719]

It's AI. It has trouble with concepts LOL

[@MateuszMat.]

Thanks for another video 👍🏻

[@Mysterious5s]

Thank you so much for your continuous support! I appreciate it.

[@novakaiser7949]

i was a kid when jun's case hit the news, every day we'd learn more and more about it. to this day i still vividly remember when they identified magnotta and his publicized case. it was absolutely horrendous

[@meadowsweet5507]

Holy shit. Never expected to hear about a crime from my hometown in a KZbin video. Thank you for covering Barbara Ann.

[@DegoJen]

Omg this one makes my eyes leak. I took care of my dad for the last 13 years of his life after he had a brain aneurysm, fell backwards, cracked his skull, and ended up with 3 additional brain bleeds. It left him with the cognitive function of a 6 year old. This poor liitle miracle, angel boy suffering a cracked skull and doctors saying he'll suffer no trauma later in life is an impossible diagnosis that im only able to say with 100% confidence bc I lived thru it with my dad. Thank you for sharing this. I can only imagine other ppl will do the same thing im going to: demand justice for the trash adults!

[@llusix]

roblox?

[@Moreno_gotit]

Nice video it had me interested

[@Mysterious5s]

Glad to hear it!

[@CrystalDorsey-xk8xf]

I agree with comment why is someone with criminal record allowed to adopt crazy esp one with sexual crimes ITS A HUGE INJUSTICE

[@MrGphilli34]

The person who was supposed to investigate probably decided to take a shortcut and never bothered. People have a nearly boundless ability to become complacent. Especially government people. I work at a prison so I don't dare become complacent but I see it all the time. 9:18

[@mrsmiggins6435]

I found Abraham 's and Jun Lin deaths especially sad.

[@rmcar549]

28:14 that literally makes no sense that she was 17 considered an adult and therefore added to a list of runaways. How can an adult "run away"?

[@thomaskelliher]

What happened in Philadelphia makes me sick to my core. Justice was not fairly served. I'll admit that the victims are more forgiving then me and I commend them for how they wanted to resolve the court case. I hope the assailants are truely remorseful for their actions.

[@frenchmoxie]

Around 1:45:20 - Paulette started “taking” marijuana. 😂 The verb they chose just struck me as odd. Also, her changes in mental state, the paranoia and other changes, may have been the beginning of schizophrenia. She would have been right around the age (21-23) when it starts to show up in people. So sad.

[@kimmccabe1422]

The only upside of internet really is, solving crimes. 🙏

[@kendallneason3645]

Amazing the power of the internet to do good and evil. But I hope there will continue to be more good and that murderers will not be able to get away and hide for decades any longer. We are all connected and using our combined experiences more crimes will be solved. We can continue to use social media to bring to light mysteries and world issues that we as humans can help resolve if we all work together.

[@seandelap8587]

Thanks for this I always appreciate it whenever you upload a video

[@Mysterious5s]

Thank you very much for your continuous support

[@ericpanissidi6761]

[@luisolmedo4116]

I saw the original video of Jun Lin death. The killer didn't just killed him he ate part of Jun Lin

[@Therearethings8148]

54:00 I don't understand this hate crime concept (I must be too old). What difference does it make under what pretext you attack people you don't know in the street?! It's hardly the way to show philanthropy. Political BS in a nutshell.

[@miamouse.]

Each story is so short, it doesn’t really need the small dramatic recap at the end.

[@fanniek1694]

I love the recap

[@chocomelo454]

I mean sometimes that is all the info there is

[@DoctorCatter]

you know the laws are failing when they can't even sentence monsters who should rot in prison

[@teresakirkland995]

I’m confused how Mr Bowman was even allowed to adopt / foster or anything else to do with kids.

[@melissaharris3389]

It was before information sharing via the internet. They also purposefully adopted her from out of state, making it more difficult to do a thorough background check. They likely wouldn't have been approved for adoption in their state due to his criminal record.

[@leahoh4]

In the strongsville case, Cuyahoga is pronounced Kai-uh-hoe-guh. But great video, never heard a lot of these and the narration is nice

[@Mysterious5s]

Thanks for the info!

[@livemusicmakeart]

This music has me thinking, "Man, Skyrim has gotten rough..."

[@zackfreeman903]

24:31 yeah that story about Suzanne. I literally just heard the same story on another channel and according to that channel the man that hit her claimed he hit a deer. But in your storyline he claimed to hit a mailbox..

[@paigerbrio]

yeah i heard this story on I think wavy’s yt, and it was a deer but i can’t remember if that might about the case in Greece

[@PookieEST2001]

It’s possible he claimed both to different ppl. Told a buddy it was a mailbox, told investigators it was a deer etc maybe told cops two different stories 🤷‍♀️

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

If this story was written by artificial intelligence, it is writing at an 8th grade level circa 1973.

[@colintimp1372]

So roughly at the same level of someone with a B.A. today then? I was tempted to play a drinking game while watching this based on how many times you hear the same word pronounced differently.

[@lindasue8719]

Right?! The AI voice is just too much 😄

[@latoyajordan1542]

It wasn’t things to modern technology. It was nice to those people that gave their lives in time to care about somebody else. And it also shows that the police do not do their job if it doesn’t come easy.

[@cait2538]

The word is decedents, not decendants. Just fyi the wrong word is used a lot in this vid

​@@JenniferLove199It's not hard to do things correctly. Don't defend AI and lack of education.
