3 True Scary Stories from Cold Case Investigators

[@BlueEyedMomof378]

The first story bothers me so much! I was really hoping the case was solved. So sad for that young lady. May she rest in peace.

[@tarrantwolf]

Males you wonder how different her life would have been if he hadn't taken her.

[@ichangedmynameforyoutube]

It doesn’t make sense though. She was a drug addicted prostitute living at home??? After he theorized that it was the stepdaughter, he never linked and/or circled back to her opiate and prostitution??? Plot hole.

[@ichangedmynameforyoutube]

⁠How would he have not reported the guy to the FBI?? He also never mentioned again how the girl was a drug addicted prostitute? She was like that living at home? The stepmother surely would have known and brought it up? He never mentioned that part again. Sounds like another fake story.

[@Capricornmoon8]

​@@tarrantwolf also makes you wonder how different the mothers life would be if she never met him 😢

[@nicksoley]

A quick google search for Marshall County Jane Doe turns up nothing. The story is very likely fake.

[@Peakycop13]

Current Mississippi police officer here. Awesome stories and very spot on. Love your content as always many a nights I'll be patrolling with your stories playing in the squad. Stay safe yall 🙏

[@xoxpctxox]

That’s so cool, I am a HR Manager from Ireland, we are worlds apart but let’s reads videos are for everyone to enjoy! Love that about this channel Stay safe on your patrols 😊

[@myphan]

Have you had any paranormal experience while on patrol Peakycip?

[@terrenceolivido741]

you have probably seen the channels of " bad and corrupt police ." well, it turns out corruption exists in all elements of society. so, we all are in deep sh*t . a great police officer is like a great man in any role. one thing i can say is obvious to all police officers in a dept. - bad police officers make the job harder for all good police officers. anyway, I used to hate police officers - that is obviously caused by contact with bad police officers. On the other hand a great sheriff deputy resolved two problems i had with zero violence and got - in my view - my legitimate rights restored . he was a truly great man. god bless you.

[@ellad9513]

Thank u 😊..U stay safe ❤

[@Peakycop13]

@@myphan not as of yet. Now messed up stuff and scenes I've got quite a few. Maybe one day I'll write about them on this channel.

[@kylemiller8783]

That first story was a doozy. It's a shame Jane Doe wasn't able to get justice.

[@cathywelch40]

I feel she will get justice. You don't get away with anything you only think you do. It's all on the wheel what goes around comes around.who ever did this will pay. May this girl RIP 🙏

[@andreajones65]

The last one with the Milwaukee police is terrifying. So many major city police departments have been known to hide shady things like this. I can't imagine how often this goes unnoticed.

[@GiordanDiodato]

yeah it's happened a couple of times.

[@dusanmiljkovic7479]

So sad but probably very often

[@terriaki1273]

It sounds to me like they were destroying them to cover up something. Just my opinion.

[@heatherthurber4695]

My guess is they were hiding gross negligence with more gross negligence

[@BallBatteryReligion]

​@@terriaki1273yeah something like that doesn't happen due to garden variety incompetence. One cop isn't gonna risk going to prison known as the cop that stopped multiple or even just one murder from being solved because they got lazy or didn't feel like looking through all the paperwork. I refuse to believe anyone that incompetent or stupid would be able to leave the house without supervision or be trusted with sharp objects, let alone work in law enforcement. I'd love to know how many of those case files had already convicted someone. People have sat in prison for decades for something they didn't do before finally being released. And that's just one angle. God knows what some of those old men in bass boats did back then as cops. Things they'll probably take to their grave.

[@GcfffCcf]

Oh well, my mind didn't immediately go to the possibility that this girl was adopted. It went to the fact that maybe that girl's biological mother had told him he was the father when he hadn't been.

[@HeatherClark-f5b]

That's what I thought too

[@dsm4462]

A 35 year old murder case was just solved in my small hometown. Glad the family got some form of closure.

[@BraydenSmith-z6b]

That first guy is a hell of a detective. Good on you if you read this.

[@ashleybrown1666]

He sure is!!!!!!!

[@papaemeritus8155]

I'm quite annoyed he didn't take it to the FBI to put the dude on the Most Wanted list. The fact that he just put it away pisses me off. It's not going to get solved by giving up. Don't wait for others to solve the case.

[@ichangedmynameforyoutube]

@@papaemeritus8155He also never mentioned again how the girl was a drug addicted prostitute? She was like that living at home? The stepmother surely would have known and brought it up? He never mentioned that part again. Sounds like another fake story.

[@marshalee4509]

Why fake ​@@ichangedmynameforyoutube

[@marshalee4509]

​@@ichangedmynameforyoutubecould be staged

[@haruhiramedies4174]

We thank you, Joel, for your services to us. The community

[@hayley4059]

Story 1 reminds me of the case of Sharon Marshall, who was abducted by federal fugitive Franklin Delano Floyd and then raised as his daughter.. definitely plausible. Someone needs to look into it again.

[@Drose1241]

It was upsetting when he “put it back on the shelf”

[@papaemeritus8155]

​@@Drose1241Exactly what I just said in another comment where people are praising the detective. I was so pissed he did that. It's not going to get solved sitting there.

[@papaemeritus8155]

He could have taken it to the FBI to be put on the most wanted list. What a shite thing to do instead of that. Someone could have recognized him and it would get solved 😤🤬

[@lisarobbinson8835]

Love cold case stories. Thank you Joel... Unfortunately their is way too many 😢

[@caitcasali3207]

Same!!!😃

[@gingerp4817]

I agree way too many... the first story made me shed tears how awful idc if she was an addict prostitute she was still just a human being n it's just so sad... 😢 so now that I heard the end of the story I'm a little confused if the father wasn't really her father and the girl ran away well the parents didn't see or notice she was using drugs on top of that they say she was a prostitute so how did they kno that she was a prostitute or is she not a prostitute n the father killed her and the cold case detective just let it go so no arrest or nothing.. That really makes my blood boil... so that man kidnapped some Lil girl n no one knows who she is nothing that sucks!

[@AlbionRising]

Yeah!! The first case reminds me of the Franklin Delano Floyd, very similar!!

[@WhatsEvenRealAnymore]

My husband told me of a story before we knew each other. There was a car speeding, prob close to 90mph. Struck another car that was in the oncoming lane. The other car was thrown into a light post and the woman that was hit ended up being decapitated. The guy whom struck her was clearly drunk. Husband said he could smell the alcohol as he approached the car. Turns out drunk guy was the son of a judge. Walked free with zero charges.

[@Casca-qm7th]

The fact that he got away scott free for being the son of a judge deeply urks me.....Maybe things like this is why some judges end up dead and if so I don't blame the person one bit

[@jimenasite]

this is a horrifying example of power abuse. i feel sorry for the woman, and to that guy and the judge, karma will get them.

[@jamesupton5601]

Does anyone else love that eerie synth sound that get's played after every story? I'm usually half-asleep when I hear it.

[@marti042]

I love the police/investigator ones. Also the story with the Jane Doe missing with possible fake dad. I remember maybe Joel reading a story about it that they couldn't pin it to that murderer because of the tachometer!!!

[@caitcasali3207]

Wow! This is such an unexpected treat!!! Thank you I literally rely on these videos to wind down after I get my son to bed!!! Thanks so much for your dedication! I’ve listened to all your uploads on chilling. I also found you on Ace Animations and a channel & Dark Echoes (at least that’s what I believe it’s called). I know you are an extremely busy man Joel, but I would ask you to link any other channels that you narrate for for those of us who have watched all of your thousand plus videos on this channel and are looking for a fix.! Your narration skills are impeccable, the melodic tone cannot be matched! 🙏 Thank you for all you do for us!

[@caitcasali3207]

Joel I also meant to say that I really love when you narrate stories that you yourself have researched and written! You have an excellent sense of how to intertwine them with the subscriber/Reddit stories! Please continue to create those types of stories for us. They really are a great treat and missing people is one of my favorite subjects. 😍

[@michaelromano8487]

Joel also does guest appearances on creepy pasta stories. He heard him on( Dark sominum)the story Borasca! Definitely worth checking out

[@Nevermore-Nevermore]

That first one really reminds me of Terry Rasmussen, he would change his name constantly and had multiple aliases. He had to have ties to Mississippi as his biological daughter’s maternal family is from there. At one point he showed up in California with who he claimed was his daughter who is actually the daughter of one of his victims, this could be similar to Jane Doe.

[@whatliesbeneaththeweave3518]

In that last story, they were not covering up for violent criminals. 1. The murder may have been committed by a cop. OR 2. They were destroying evidence of their own incompetence. Prior to DNA evidence cops often sent innocent people to prison. Testing those cases against DNA evidence would bring down the entire department.

[@frederic450]

Is it strange that I found the “maggot-infested” cat to be more heartbreaking than the dead humans?

[@fishychips08]

Yes.

[@kathryncumberland]

Yes. Especially considering the fact that it sounds like the cat may have died of natural causes.

[@JuniperWhiskeytart]

No, it's easier to imagine and accept and visualize a dead cat than a person. So you get sad about that. It's more tangible.

[@kathryncumberland]

@@JuniperWhiskeytart I respectfully disagree. I can equally accept and visualize both the car and the person.

I worked in law enforcement as a civilian employee, and a new records manager decided it was too many man hours to pull the do not destroy files. So years later when that year was set to be destroyed they forgot and signed off on the destruction order. So stolen vehicle reports, stolen property with the paper back up for the entries for searching stolen property was also gone. Also open murder investigations. All the reports, witness statements, everything gone.

I felt really sorry for the parents in the last stories. Imagine paying thousands of dollars to get your daughters murder case solved only for it to be nearly impossible to solve because the file had been "accidentally" destroyed by the police department that is so incompetent on their job. May their daughters rest in peace and one day her case can finally be solved.

[@Theeighthdoctor1996]

Love the videos man especially those songs with creepy backstories ones would love to see another one like those but on the theme of one of these 3 subjects celebrity photos with creepy backstories celebrity assassinations or a volume 2 of the scary UK stories a great story for that last subject would be Sidney Cooke

[@ssplague]

I know these TRUE Private investigator/Police detective stories are hard to come by. They have become my favorite that you post though! Since these real stories are so rare because of undoubted legal red tape, or NDA’s I always know that when you post a video with a few that it’s going to be INCREDIBLE.

[@KiwiBirb63]

Can someone explain why the first detective gave up?! That was so frustrating

[@Miniprizm]

I don’t either

[@crystallaws7050]

The problem is twofold on the first story. There's a missing child that is not accounted for! Even though she grew up and she was murdered most likely by her so-called father, she was once somebody's child and was abducted and this case needs further attention. Sorry for the pain it will cause the wife but what about that girls real mother???

[@thewigmain]

So the guy in the 1st story just went through all that for nothing? To not even tell the girl's family (the stepmother) what really happened to her? And calls himself a professional? I feel so disgusted by people who just use this type of job to fuel their own curiousity and not to actually help people. Shame on him.
