Cold Case Murder Abandoned Mansion

[@JeremyXplores]

Hey guys, thanks so much for watching this video. First off, my apologies for the shaky footage. This town is one of the most dangerous places in Alabama and I was on edge to be there by myself. I was also so sad over the story of what had happened. I don't think it really hit me until I was there, surrounded by the walls of the place that poor boy had been murdered.

[@MandieTerrier]

Imagine his biological parents giving him to the Lucy Family. Thinking he would have a better life.

[@PaulyTheFarmer]

No apologies needed, man. Handled it like a pro. Love your content, keep it coming.

[@focuzd12]

Care to expound on your claim that the house is located in such a dangerous part of Al. ?

[@robynperdieu3434]

I had the feeling Allen's room was the blue bedroom. Poor baby is in a better place. Such evil.

[@deeds517]

What makes a parent put their hands on a child that poor boy I couldn’t be that house

[@tlcferguson8243]

Oh my gosh that poor child, 😢 so glad the parents were finally caught and the father was sent to jail. And for the other boy to not be believed must have been very traumatic. Thank you for telling his story so it will never be forgotten.

[@1927su]

I wonder how old the little boy was when he witnessed the whole thing? Small enough to be hiding & sneaking a peek, poor kid!

[@sarahpritchard3799]

Imagine how Jason, the biological son, would have felt. Knowing what his father did. And then speaking out only to not be believed. My goodness. The weight of that truma. And you said the community loved the father, that's why they didn't believe Jason. You know, my father was a raging Narcissist. At his funeral there were 300 plus people. Home devils and street angels I call them. To punch a child that hard takes a lot of anger. It was very brave of Jason to speak out after watching what his father was capable of. I hope he got help for what he endured back then & was able to lead a semi normal life. I won't lie, truma changes everything. You're never quite the same after it. God bless 🙌

[@rosepeters2217]

Yep the father was a bully and a coward.

[@ranisrikumar5735]

You have said it! 🙏Jaison was a blessed kid, what a tragedy to the victim kid!

[@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg]

Yeah it sounds like the dad probably lived a double life he was one way when he was out in public but at home he was most likely an ass which is why when the other kid try to say what his father did no one believed him

[@ladyelectrik]

So sad. The murder of a child, the abandonment of such a beautiful house, all of it.

[@brokengamerkid5907]

I love how you don't talk much, and you're alone so there's really not much other noise. but sometimes I have to turn my volume really high to hear your voice, but when it switches to some backstory, it's so loud my whole room vibrates.

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

The history of this house is extremely depressing. And you made me a nervous wreck when you stepped out onto that balcony. I can only imagine the beauty that house was in its heyday. Thank you for sharing.

[@maureenz12]

Aside from feeling horrible for the little boy that got murdered, how horrible for the little boy that had to live with his murderous father and nobody would believe him. I can't even imagine his poor life... very sad story💔

This is an incredible video. So sad, and that mansion is magnificent! I wish someone would take up the renovation. Although they'd have to be cool with the history.

[@L.sabore]

[@Clare0724]

Thank you for sharing these magnificent homes. I love these old homes. I've always wondered who lived there, what did they do, etc. Some stories we'll never know and will die away with the home, but others are very well known

[@ribbetribbet1161]

Hey Abandoned Nashville-- thank you SO much for posting this. I have wondered for the last 15 years what happened to this house. I have tried to find it on Google Earth several times and I guess I thought I remembered the address but it no longer comes up under the street and number ("12 South street* - not accurate to protect it but you'll know what I mean). I was extremely close to purchasing this amazing house back around 2006/7. I went out and looked at it with the well known agent in that area. It was nowhere near as bad as your video shows it now; the beautiful front porch was still standing very solid. What I appreciated most about the house was that unreal front collonade with that gorgeous sunburst fan light window over the top with the Greek revival look. I loved the staircase inside and like you said, it didn't make a sound when walking up it. I know the smell you mentioned, too; an undescribable scent of yesterday combined with something inspiring and joyful in the wood itself. I was literally going to pull the trigger on the purchase until I heard the foster child story that you spoke of. I just couldn't handle the thought of waking up there every day knowing that had happened, and that is what I told the agent. Reluctantly I passed on purchasing the house but have never forgotten it and wished I could have brought it back to what it deserves. I was told at that time that it had been built in 1910, which seemed way later than what the construction of it suggested to me. It felt more like 1850s to me. I have been working on a 3 story colonial with Greek columns for several years now, so I ended up finding a cool house to restore after all. If someone could still save that old house in Uniontown it would be so great. I was just telling my wife the other day how important keeping the roof solid and avoiding leaks really is. A leaky roof is death for historic homes. Again, thank you so much for this video. You can't imagine how many times I pondered the fate of that house. .

[@bramlintrent1145]

It was actually built in 1918, according to the historical records of the town where it's located. (Most of the neighboring houses on North Street were also built between 1915 and 1925.) The house held up pretty well until about 2012, then it started collapsing at a pretty fast rate.

[@ribbetribbet1161]

@@bramlintrent1145 Oh thanks for the info. I always thought it was much older, I guess they just liked that type of architecture! What do you think caused it to collapse? Do you think it was all around general neglect, or from something another owner did to the structure?

[@bramlintrent1145]

@@ribbetribbet1161 In the South, especially in smaller towns like this one, a bunch of old houses were constructed between 1900 and 1920 using what's called "Neoclassical" architecture, which kind of copies the Greek Revival architecture of the 1850s and 1860s, but it's usually pretty easy to spot the differences. This one is definitely from the Neoclassical heyday ... I noticed at one point (around 2006) that some water damage on the porch seemed to be causing some rot around the base of the columns. That probably sent the termites into the wood. Then the tops of the columns (capitals) started showing some rot. Over time, the columns slowly began collapsing. I believe the first one fell about 2015 or 2016. If someone had been living there, obviously there would've been routine repairs that would've prevented this from happening. I know it's a sad old house (because of what happened in the 1980s), but it's a shame that someone didn't buy it and continue the renovation. I I'm sure the buyer who began the renovation in the 1990s probably tried to unwind his purchase contract, once he discovered he'd bought a house the previous occupants had (1) intentionally burned and (2) buried a child underneath the porch.

[@charlayned]

So very sad. I hope that child is resting in peace. I was a birth mother and I can tell you that this is the nightmare of any birth mom who makes the move to trust a stranger with her child. My heart goes with that small kid, his brother, and the family who may not know he's not alive anymore. I got lucky, my son got a great family and is now the father of three.

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

Those pipes in the attic actually look like they were part of the old gravity water system which predated our current running water system. There would have been a huge water reservoir in the attic that collected rain water, and those pipes would carry the water to the bathrooms and kitchen below. That's also likely why the water heater is up there to take advantage of the existing plumbing system that was originally built to work with the reservoir.

Beautiful house. I was born in 1955 in Detroit near the Detroit river and lived in a couple houses very similar but smaller like this , growing up that had all that beautiful wood and built in shelves. The last house I lived in had wide wood beams running across the dining room ceiling. There was a living room leading into the parlor seperated by wood columns. The kitchen had a large walk in pantry. My Scottish grandmothers raised me and watching this video I can almost smell the cabbage and potatoes on the stove. We only lived in the first one for a couple months because it was crazy haunted. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Those double doors are sometimes referred to as "French Doors". Those older homes that have built in cabinets on the second floor were for linens.. Sheets and towels and needs for servicing the second floor both to save space in the rooms and keep from having to make continuous trips up and down the stairs. Many of these homes had service people or maid at some point and the homes were built for a service person to maintain the home for the owners and many have a butler pantry where they prepared and served food and the kitchen sometimes was separate. Laundry then was usually done by hand and line dry and most services were labour intensive and time consuming so built ins help as well as French Doors allowed light as well as opportunities to open to large areas for entertainment as well as air flow in hot seasons. As well as close off rooms to heat smaller spaces in the winter also allowing light. A lot of functional and beautiful aspects working together in these older architectures.
