This was such a horrific crime. A young girl should be entitled to freely walk a short distance home in broad daylight safely. Her mother’s voice is so heartbreaking to listen to. It’s crazy he tried to claim it was all an accident- he truly expects ppl to believe that day he somehow “accidentally” . It’s ridiculous he tried to claim it was somehow all an accident- did he truly think ppl would believe he “accidentally” borrowed a different car, parked it out of sight, quickly got out and grabbed a young girl off the street, severely assaulted and then strangled her, afterwards going to significant effort to hide the evidence. The letter to his brother confirmed he felt no remorse. Pleading to avoid the death penalty to “spare his family” seems outrageous when you consider the endless torment he has inflicted upon poor Carlie’s family and loved ones - their memories of her forever tainted with the knowledge of how horrific and terrifying her final moments must have been. Constantly being reminded of the many amazing life experiences they had been robbed of.

It's extremely important that an offender's rights are not violated, otherwise they can have their case collapse. The most important part about rights, is that they're afforded to absolutely everyone. That way you can be sure they'll apply to you too, no matter what you're ever accused of. It may seem wrong when a court pushes to abide by their rights, but you don't want a higher court to throw out a case because the state violated his rights.

[@cdes1776]

@@Quizack There is truth in your comment. You need a solid case to prove guilt/innocence. It's the amount of appeals that waste time and resources. It's about money. Yes, there are exceptions especially if there is new evidence but appeals every few years ad infinitum is ridiculous Wanting out of your sentence when it was proven beyond a shadow of doubt, like a spree or mass assaults and worse should be out of the question.

@@Quizack it is true. My husband was murdered and the monster was caught. I remember the prosecuting attorney telling me that we had to allow this creature his right to ask for a lie detector test (he failed) which delayed the trial by 4 weeks. We had to allow him his rights because the defense could use it later if any were violated. Doesn't seem fair, but in the long run he was found guilty, even after all his tricks, and sentenced to life without possibility of parole.

@@mymagiclieswithin I'm so sorry to hear that. You should never have had to live without him by your side. It's so unfair. Sometimes it's hard to see the intent for why they try so hard to make sure their rights are not violated.

[@saddletramp5000]

I absolutely adore your narration. Your empathy for the victims and the victims loved ones and friends who are left without the answers, missing a very important person for the rest of their lives. You show each and every one of them so much respect, and I respect you so much for that.

[@anthonybrown2200]

Thank you from your biggest fan in Seattle🙏🏿

[@kathyhayden2499]

Omg how terrifying poor girl my heart goes out to her family❤

[@taylordominy6704]

What got me is when he said to not give him the death sentence to “spare his family” what about that poor little girl you violated and murdered and abandoned- what HER family? Absolutely disgusting

[@SnowWhite717_]

I’m like Pavlov’s Dog… the notification bell goes off and I drop everything… 😅 Nothing like listening to the soothing narration of a well researched case with compassion and respect for the victims and their families. Thanks so much for making Saturdays so much better! Have a great week ahead everyone! ❤

[@foxywhitetip7387]

No pavlovs dogs were abused with electric shocks and killed in a lab get it straight

[@sarahcullis1464]

I had personal & prolonged experience of the same drugs & more. Not once in 20 + yrs have I ever not remembered what I did. I might have not wanted to remember, but that is a totally bogus excuse.

[@chiakastewart719]

Accountability. GOD BLESS YOU ❤

[@ajdarko8531]

The brother is just as much of a POS. If my brother did what that man did, no way in hell would i be communicating with him in prison, much less coming up with a secret code to communicate with him. Hearing the enabling mother made me sick too. No wonder her sons turned out that way.

[@sarahewson3607]

What an outstanding tribute to Carlie! Wow, this was so detailed and thoughtful. Thank you so much! I live about two hours away from Sarasota and I have never forgotten how devastating this story was. Then, in February 2005 another young girl was abducted here in Florida. Her name was Jessica Lunsford, and she was taken from her home by a repeat offender. It’s a horrible case, but I would like to see it covered.

So sad that Carlie's Mother died of a suspected drug overdose, she was heartbroken by the loss of her daughter😢

[@robinbank5]

He's a monster not an animal. And that mother failed miserably raising her despicable sons Joe and John. Complete failure. RIP Carlie. So sad about her family, too.

[@Alexmila7979]

An accident? his mother is a monster as well

[@seanprice2990]

I love your channel but found this episode very hard to watch. Crimes against innocent kids are the worst society have to endure, I can't imagine what her friends and family have gone through. Fly high little Angel, you're with God now 💕🕊

[@aliasme-cc2qb]

Good grief, poor girl. Poor family. Horrific.

[@itsnicolejulia]

That judge telling them to “slow down”….🤡🤮

[@kanivea]

Born and raised Bostonian here. Talking about the Pats when they were unstoppable had me choking up because it looks like we won't see that again for many, many yrs.

[@MeganHinke-x4h]

What a completely unnappropriate comment....

[@ruthmenchaca6688]

An accident? Her arms were bound. Did he think she tied herself? Rest In Peace sweet Carlie❤

[@loopygurl2]

So happy i came across your channel. I love your voice as well as the coverage and long length of the vids❤

[@TrulyCriminal]

Thank you so much!

[@mommyshark1124]

I wonder how his children feel, knowing that their father is a monster.

[@LaraCroftEyes1]

I have heard Joesph wife kick him out and file for a restraining order for her and their children before Joseph kidnapped Carlie.

[@laurenleeonethree]

I can usually get through these videos without crying... But thinking of all of the people affected by her murder and thinking of the pain that this poor little girl went through for no reason just shatters my heart... And for her memorial caretaker to be so affected because he lost his own daughter to murder... It just breaks me 😔

[@davidmetzler6670]

Perhaps consider taking a step back from true crime if it's affecting you like this.

[@lucikazmar13]

I'm sick of addicts using their addiction as an excuse for committing horrendous crimes, especially towards children. As if he'd never would've done that if he'd been sober..smh. BS. He obviously already had those disgusting thoughts in his head and this time he decided to act on it. 😡

[@loveforeignaccents]

Thanks for the video, sissies! Don't recall ever hearing this one before. How sad for Carlie and her entire family... talk about a ripple effect on how one "man's" actions had affected so many. Joseph, John, and his mom all sounded like pieces of trash. Also sad that Tara's family will never be able to get justice for her. Anyhow, hope you ladies are enjoying your weekend! Stay safe!!

[@ericastapleton7042]

RIP Carlie. Thank you Truly Criminal 💠

[@sittingonariver]

We need to teach our children to SCREAM! My mother taught me to roll under a car if approached by a stranger in a parking lot. Peace to Carlie ❤

[@Dru1111]

Wow! What great advice!

[@fluffyfour]

Bear in mind, there wasn't anyone around, nor was there a car. He'd parked his own car where it couldn't be seen. Sadly, people don't react to a child screaming because children are allowed to scream while they're playing. If she fought, he would have picked her up. I don't see any way she could have avoided him in the circumstances.

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

But wont that make you a sitting duck if he has a gun?

[@jimcanty2331]

He's sorry because he was caught

[@carolynslist6118]

Always new cases. Love this channel so much

[@janem5900]

Carlie's friend's mother must feel shocking having let the young girl walk towards home against her mother's wishes.

[@samwallaceofscotland]

This is heartbreaking 💔. She was so young, just beginning life! I love your narration of these cases tho, unfortunately it's such a sick world out there.

[@michellestlicitra9105]

The devil is everywhere 👹👿❗️ Do NOT let your children out of your sight! It’s your responsibility to keep them safe❗️❗️❗️

[@mitsuomits9077]

The mom holding the kitty while talking to the press eas heart breaking. It might be her daughter's little cat.

[@Massie82]

I watched this yesterday on your Patreon and wanted to ask if you take case recommendations. If so, I'd love to hear you cover Sean Dugas from Pensacola, Fl. I went to high school with him, and we ran in the same social circles. Super nice guy. He disappeared during Hurricane Ivan and was murdered by a set of twins. They'd killed him for his impressive Magic Card collection, that (I believe) was valued at over a hundred thousand dollars. They killed him, packed up his house and his body in a U-haul truck, and drove him across state lines to bury him under their father's driveway in Georgia. He was a journalist with the Pensacola News Journal with his whole life ahead of him. Thanks if you do cover his story😊

[@loveforeignaccents]

Wow, sounds horrible and over nothing, really. What did the twins end up getting as their sentence?

[@kensirhan2]

​​I recall that stupidity was covered on the IDiot channel, ? which program, but he didn't get equal justice; the 1 sack of slime got LWOP but the other not; a measly 15 years cause that was determined to be more the Trusting Soul ttagalong than actively complicit. Some people just canNOT add right! 😡

[@christianjuarez3333]

Channel so good I like the video before even watching it 🙌🏽
