I have no sympathy for these hideous men. I don’t think child molesters should ever be free.Thank you Dr. Grande for covering this.

[@kathybates1751]

No they need to be castrated and locked up forever.

[@rosemarymcgrory-eb2gd]

I totally agree with you .. The law must change

[@red_five3325]

The only reason any of them should be free is if it turned out they were innocent, like if they were misidentified or deliberately framed. Even then, someone else should take his/her place - like the real child molester or the one/s who set him/her up.

[@chuckrobinson599]

The fastest growing demographic of criminals is the female child molester. Equality you know.

Why oh why do we let sexual predators loose ? Can we not see depravity when it’s forced on a small child ? I don’t get.

[@hearliestheglobe8423]

I Will tell you why child molesters are let loose/protected in prison, are you ready?... Its because it is a sickening indulgence that people (if you can call them that) from every level of society partake in. From the poor right up to the elite & it's at the very top where it is at its most rampant & depraved but very well organised & hidden, hidden to an extent anyway. If these rich & well connected types do find themselves having to do a stretch inside then they make sure there are measures in place so that they always get out & as quickly as possible & are protected while in prison...an insurance policy if you will. Just Google "Labour 25" & you may be shocked at just how many politicians in my country have been convicted & when released are welcomed back into the party by their mates with open arms & no further consequences, huh no wonder they call them parties hey? Have a good day & all the best ❤

I think Dr. Grande is a little bit hard on the police investigation. They did a lot. They tested more than 100 men's DNA. It is easy to have hindsight about what should have been done when you are looking at it afterward. I think the police did the best they could. You can always find gaps that should have been done.

Thank you, Dr. Grande. Could you analyze the case of the 14-year-old Indigenous girl who disappeared recently and was found at Camp Pendleton. One Marine has been arrested, as I understand. Security allowed her to be brought on base, where she was human trafficked. Her trauma needs attention, and those involved, punished. Camp leadership is blaming her and has called her an "underage prostitute." A 14-year-old cannot give consent. Her abuse is horrific.

[@SirenaSpades]

It sounds like we need to learn more about what happened.

[@arinerm1331]

@@esteemedmortal5917 It seems to me that when you take a minor across state lines it becomes a federal crime. When the Marine took the girl onto federal property, the same rule should apply. It's also a military crime, so the Marine could be punished twice; once by the military, and once by civilian authorities. Believe it or not, this does **NOT** violate the 5th Amendment.

As a foreigner, I don't understand the American justice system. On one hand, people have been getting life for selling weed; on the other hand, sexual predator can be released on bail and commit more crimes. It looks like the US justice system goes from unexplainably punitive to incomprehensibly lenient.

[@dogtrainer4645]

As an American, I don't understand it either. Prison sentences don't always fit the crimes. Also justice is not evenly handed out, based on where it occurs and the accused's race, among other things.

Play fight with your children, teach them how to seriously injure someone if they try to put their hands on them. The fingers in the eyes, private areas, bite, scream every cuss word at the top of their lungs. When people hear children scream cuss words they will pay attention. It's an unfortunate situation but I feel for the mother. I couldn't live with myself. It is a devastating tragedy

[@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893]

Also the shin scrape is a good deterrent as it is very painful for an assailant.

[@red_five3325]

As practical as that sounds, I unfortunately see a flaw with this plan. Your child may use their newfound skills to harm INNOCENT people, maliciously or otherwise. A non-malicious example would be is if someone tried to hug them, whether they be an adult or another child, and they mistake it for a kidnapping attempt. You might want to teach your kid what constitutes a kidnapping attempt and what doesn't. However, if your child is a bully, has anger problems, and/or is outright evil, expect their victim count to multiply. Worse, s/he may LIE about a kidnapping attempt afterwards if caught. How would you address this? Would you warn that there will be consequences (that actually hurt and you plan on enforcing) for hurting the wrong person?

@@red_five3325 I see another issue with OP's suggestion. Physically disadvantaged victims can further provoke their assailants, causing further physical abuse and damage by trying to fight back or yell out.

This may be off topic but when someone is a danger to the community they should not have bail at any price. Low level non violent crimes could wear an ankle monitor and avoid pre trial detention. We are the only country in the world that allows for profit bail other than the phillipines. I don’t think we should be emulating a third world authoritarian government. Those brothers never should have been out of prison that day

[@Sputterbug]

you say that, but there's plenty of cases where the perpetrator was not the one the police took into custody. the point of bail is to make sure they are nearby for the court case. it's also to make sure a defendant can maintain their freedom while on trial. everyone has a right to a fair trial, even if you personally think they're guilty or not guilty. so even if it seems pretty obvious they did it (like in this case), they are not guilty until proven so beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury.

[@wsidechris]

"I wonder what these brothers Mother would have to say about this" -- this is a question you probably don't want the answer to. If you've seen enough of these videos, then you know there are many times when the parents of killers will enrage you. There is a difference between unconditional love and doing the right thing, and some parents cannot keep them separate. Recent examples are the parents of Brian Laundrie, Aiden Fucci, Chris Watts, and one of the worst I've seen, the sickening evangelical breeders of family annihilator Chris Colman. Casey Anthony's parents supported her, too, until she threw them under the bus with abuse claims and led to them finally cutting her off (though I wish they'd admit to what they know about Casey murdering her child).

I'm from the area and grew up hearing this story, especially around Halloween. Shauna Howe is beloved and celebrated to this day. I can confidently say that the ONLY reason this case wasn't solved is because of Oil City PD. When someone envisions this area, you cannot believe how small this area is truly is. That car would have been extremely unusal and known at the time to belong to this man because the pizza shop he worked at was located right in the tiny "downtown". Adults also told kids to STAY AWAY from the O'brian brothers because they were that creepy. When we did trick-or-treat, we always skipped their house. There are many murders in this area that have gone unsolved, even recently with modern DNA and forensics. It's dissapointing that adults in this area knew how disturbed these men were and the police didn't even sneeze in their direction because they couldn't be bothered to check if these men were out of jail at the time or investigate easily identifiable aspects of this case. God bless the Howe family. Because of their pain, parents woke up a little bit and realized not everyone is safe to be around your children.

[@dutchray8880]

James O'brien was in state prison at the time of his arrest in this case. As noted in the video, he attempted to put a young lady in the trunk of his car, but he told other inmates he was locked up for robbery. James was conspicuously loud and confrontive with pedophiles in prison, far more so than is customary among inmates, and he made his contempt for them clear to everyone in earshot. This is peculiar, given some years before he and his brother had raped and murdered an 11-year-old girl. I believe that Ted Walker was simply a hapless participant who associated with the brothers for a vicarious sense of being tough and dangerous, however perverse that may seem, and he went along with the "prank" in order to be a part of their clique. He only realized how dreadful the situation was after it was too late. What really broke the case was when Timothy O'brien disclosed (bragged) about his part in the crime to a cellmate during a lockdown.

Please do a personality profile on the O'Brien brothers.

[@shandaabsar-so5gp]

First time hearing about this case

[@elizabethwarman9028]

Good evening Dr Grande, excellent analysis. As always I learn something new from your videos. Happy Bastille Day

[@jaychild78]

Prayers for her soul - prayers for her family.

[@melodyann44]

This is interesting and scary. I'm hoping dr grande covers the architect who murdered all those young women in New York- I've seen others covering the murders " however no one covers a murder case / serial killer's ' kidnappers ' evil people better than Grande. If that makes sense?

[@LeanneFowler-ms5xc]

It does.

[@kaybacci1134]

What a horrible crime. To throw a young girl, still alive, off a bridge into a creek bed like a bag of garbage. Vile murderers.

[@andyramage7883]

I grew up in the Oil City area and remember when this happened, I think was 13 at the time.

[@bassemb]

That poor kid.

[@alex__825]

The way you say someone is ugly is really funny.. but RIP to the innocent girl

[@peaceseeker52]

There was a TV show back awhile where retired court people and local police tried to solve or prove Cold Cases and it was filmed to make a show. They had aboard they worked off of so they could see what had been done then additional steps were listed beside then added to the board. That way one person assuming incorrect something and voicing that would not trip up an investigation. Sounds like a good way to work. Everyone can see and contribute. We like to think we have ticked all boxes of a problem we were researching but sooner or later each of us overlooks something important and colleagues are used to being supportive and take the "lead guys" word all the ducks are in a row.

[@Bebecat477]

What a horribly sad story.

[@leahr9038]

Poor baby. If I were her mother idk if I could continue on.

[@Inuus]

Just listening to the story makes me sick. Pure evil.

[@zenawarrior7442]

Another very sad case. I do enjoy the older ones too. Great analysis again. Thanks Dr G😊🤍💛

[@kristinaarnold4776]

Poor baby three days!!

[@barbieblue3336]

Good for the witness. No cell phones then 😪 DNA was kind of new to police?

[@jellybones4863]

Can you do an analysis on the case of Zackary Ramsay?

[@informall6834]

Eldred "Ted" Walker supposedly handed Shauna Howe over to Timothy O'Brien, who put Shauna Howe in the car, but the eyewitness never said there were two men. The eyewitness only saw one tall, skinny man wearing an Army jacket and a baseball cap.

[@Kattakam]

Oh my, horrific. Their narrative is a mute point in God’s eyes. Thank you for your hard work in analyzing this type of criminal activity. You have to live with all those horrible details forever. That burden is not for the faint of heart.

[@informall6834]

Eldred "Ted" Walker asked Shauna Howe if she was selling Girl Scout cookies. Shauna Howe was not in her Girl Scout uniform, so how did Ted Walker know she was a Girl Scout?

[@TomMSTie1138]

On Halloween you watch horror movies, not make one!

[@princesspink843]

Really sad
