For someone to hear another person screaming for help, in distress, and do NOTHING is obscene and a cowards way. Lives can be saved if people only react. We were camping once and heard a couple arguing. Next we heard her screaming for help. We called 911 and the police were there within 3 minutes. He was stabbing and choking her. She lived and I hope, got away from that psychopath that called himself her husband.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

You say that but the VAST majority of people would do the same - people are generally cowards and will act in self preservation if it means ignoring a possibly violent situation

[@jjwoelkers7954]

Totally agree!! I cannot believe the neighbor did nothing!

[@sherryhillman9197]

I had a neighbor one time around 1 am screaming. At the time l didn’t know it was her. I called the police to report because l didn’t see anyone but l could hear the screams. Eventually, the Police came. I stepped outside and by that time l could see it was her. She was having some sort of reaction to some medicine. She did get some help. The next day her Dad was so appreciative because it could had gone wrong for her if l hadn’t called for help. We are all here to help one another.

Gretchen was my teacher in NJ before she moved to FL. Middle school. I was devastated to see her photo and story on KZbin last yr. I remember when I was in middle school, she had just gotten her first teaching job. She also was a student teacher for me as well before hand. She was a beautiful, fun but respected teacher among her students. I wish this man, I won't even say his name, never gets out. It says he will be in his 80s, but her daughter will never see her mom. Prayers to her family. I can't say enough about Mrs. Crane (her Maiden name, bc it is NOT Anthony).

[@NFS305]

Curious why she didn’t change it back after the divorce

[@ryleenikola5734]

@NFS305 just saw this... I'm not sure. She was Gretchen Crane and then O'Keefe when married another teacher in our school. They did end up getting divorced so she possibly had already done the whole process once to change her name back to her Maiden name, Crane. Plus I am thinking that bc she has a daughter, she kept it for purposes of having the same last name as her~

[@tetethatsme28]

I was thinking she looked familiar. I'm from NJ, this wasn't from the north jersey area was it?

​@@ryleenikola5734That is why my mom didn't change hers back after divorcing my dad. She had been divorced before and had 2 children with first husband and they had a different last name. She said she wanted to go back to her maiden name but didnt want all of us to have different last names.

[@JacquelynRivera930]

@@NFS305Most don't. My mother in law has been divorced for 15 years and still goes by her married name, and he even remarried. She has three children, 2 boys and a girl. The two boys obviously have the same last name and so do three of her grand children. My mother remarried 7 years after my father passed, and she didn't change her last name to her new married name for a few years because of my sister and I. My aunt also still goes by her last husband's name, and she didn't even have children by him.

It depends on where you live. You could be labeled a snitch if you live in a bad neighborhood. You call the police and the police will come to YOUR door in sight of the criminals for details. The court papers then name you as a witness with your private information revealed. The police will offer you no protection and the criminals know this. A lot of criminals believe that dead people tell no tales. We need better policing period!

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

Maybe you're new to True Crime, but that's sadly very common. In many cases, people don't call police when they hear or even see things. In many cases, if a woman escapes, or survives, & reaches the road to look for help, most cars will keep driving, though one person may call 911 as they continue driving. And its so common, that we tell women that if they are attacked, they shouldn't scream rape, they should scream fire, because that is a danger for everyone & makes people more likely to take action.

[@ReeseCup45]

@@nicholasschoonbeck6866 not new to true crime at all lol it’s pretty much all I watch. I’m aware that people don’t act in moments like this, many don’t take the opportunity to call 911 in suspicious situations but this case in particular is special in my opinion. The neighbor GROSSLY missed an opportunity to save someone’s life and I believe most people would call 911 if they heard the things she heard.

I'm fairly young, but already I've had occasion to take that vow to task several times. I've called to report swerving, dangerous driving. A car upside down in some woods below the highway, a large tree branch hanging on a powerline, a sketchy looking dude running through backyards, a freshly fallen tree on the roadway, a dog off the side of the road alone and looking frightened. And finally, disturbing screams from a camp site. There's more than that, but what I can say is that 9/10 these situations are by and large relatively low stakes.

The cops would tell him to go cool off for the night while she has a broken nose, busted lips and horrible lacerations. That was the 60’s

Don't ever let your common sense be blurred by physical appearance and charm. Those say nothing about character and heart. RIP beautiful lady ❤

48hrs needs to come forth with these stories more often. I’m addicted…..😳😳

You can watch his full interrogation right here on KZbin if you are interested. I love watching 48hours as well.

[@robincarter4162]

I may be wrong for feeling this way and maybe not. I hope the neighbor that heard Gretchen screaming for help hears it every time she lays down and closes her eyes, I hope it haunts her. If only she had just done the right thing then Gretchen might still be here today.

[@TonicYellow19]

Another person on here said she should've made some phone calls. Lmao Like you have time for all that. Said she didn't call cuz afraid of being a snitch. Geez man. Some ppl.. no brains or common sense.

[@TheCandiceWang]

While I mostly agree, let's place the actual blame on the perpetrator: David Anthony Deutsch.

[@blinklost]

Totally agree with you

[@bdml77]

You're right

[@delana2842]

The fact the neighbor heard Gretchen's screams "No!," "Stop it!," "It hurts," and did absolutely nothing will haunt her for the rest of her life. As for a reason why David murdered Gretchen, it is pretty obvious. She recognized he was crazy, put him out and filed for divorce. Simply, "REJECTION!" Dude had gotten by on his height and good looks for so long that no woman left him, but rather he did the leaving. If he could not have her nobody could. I have seen his type before. He is a psychopath and stalker. It would not surprise me, he watched Gretchen for a while, stalking her every move, then wooing and eventually marrying her. A quick background check on this manic would have made all the difference in the world. If, I am at all wrong, I stand corrected.

[@Saddam-london]

I doubt it will haunt her

[@delana2842]

Oh, trust me it will.

[@shewolf2584]

He had her F cellphone and they couldn't hold him for questioning? WTF?

[@birdie1828]

Yep 😡

[@kimberlyprice6975]

How could you NOT call the police when you hear someone SCREAMING for help???!!!!😢

[@SpringNotes]

I know that part surprised me. And judging by the amount of comments against the neighbor, most people are very upset. Rightfully so. Unfortunately, the neighbor did not call. She must've had tremendous guilt afterwards, by her later actions of approaching the police and the media, and relating what she heard. In a way, I feel bad for the neighbor. For she has to live with what she didn't do.

[@kimberlyprice6975]

@Spring Notes yes you are right. It's terrible for everyone 😪

[@shonikaschronicles]

I remember when I was living in an apartment complex, I was awaken out of my sleep around 3am…. I looked out of my window and saw a man beating a woman… I called 911, gave them the name of the complex and the area where I saw the fight. I asked that I remain anonymous because I don’t want anyone potentially coming to my apartment; however I still wanted to make sure the girl received help!!! LEO arrived about 5 minutes and arrested the guy….

[@lollie880]

It’s shocking to know how many people could have been saved if witnesses would had just called 911! Then they have the guts to report the crime to the police afterwards when it’s too late! As if they expect to be called heroes!

[@lovingpia27]

Exactly

MY MOST SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🙏🏻

Had the neighbor called….. Damn, you hear someone screaming for their life and you don’t call the police?

[@pulaski1]

Met him at a gym where he was a trainer, married in Vegas at an Elvis chapel. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

[@maiskitty]

I have wondered how many murders slipped under the radar during the height of the pandemic with lockdowns and medical and post mortem facilities so overwhelmed...

[@lademoiselleketoret6958]

Tons. 😭

[@ChristiansPrayingTogether]

There are people that let their family members get sick and die, especially the elderly....what I've seen can't be stupidity because they knew how to take care of themselves.

[@lisavanderpump7475]

A lot I'm sure sadly

[@kazzana9013]

I don't believe too many post mortems were preformed during the pandemic, especially after the vaccine roll out. They didn't want to know the harms that experimental drug caused and those effected are still fighting to get help.

[@alihenderson5910]

She. got head over heels for his tall figure and immediate charm. But soon she discovered whose kind of man he was. Therefore, she filled for divorce. However, he had no money, no job, no opportunities. He wanted to be accepted back by his ex-wife. For support... her refusal costed her life.😮 He deserves to get rotten in jail😢

[@brenda0823_]

The neighbors took the time to take pictures of his truck but not call 911? Blows my mind!!

[@l-b284]

agree, if you don't want to be a neighbor, don't live in a neighborhood.

[@patriciasisson84]

But so awesome that they took the picture. That placed Andrew there after he supposedly moved out.

[@cathybassett6432]

Neighbor heard "blood curdling" screams and didn't call police!!!! What is wrong with her!! There are no words to describe the horror this woman is!

[@mtio2807]

Because she came forward and took pictures…..police opened the case

[@deniseelsworth7816]

It's far more common than you think.

[@darrylg3861]

Perhaps she will die a similar death. Not wishing it But it just might happen.

[@carnivorewitch]

She’s desensitized like most people

[@Bryant1963]

As soon as they received a text message saying, “I am on a ventilator” that should’ve been a BIG red flag to show that it wasn’t her sending the messages because you’re unconscious whenever you’re on a ventilator!
