THIS STORY:
Dennis Craig Jurgens was a 3-year-old boy who was abused by his mother and died in White Bear Lake, Minnesota in April 1965. Lois Jurgens was his adoptive mother and a prolific child abuser, who abused a total of six adopted children from 1960 to 1975. The trial of Lois Jurgens for the murder of 3-year-old Dennis made national headlines and was the top news story of the state of Minnesota in 1987.

People just want to mind their own business and not be bothered:/ You know, people who insist that the 50s and 60s were the "golden era" and "the good old days" are blissfully unaware of just how much domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse/assaults went unchecked and unreported during this time.

I’m from St. Paul and I remember the accusations and trial of this evil woman back in the 80’s

[@renefrigaard2616]

The book that was written about this precious little boy was shocking but so well written and included so much information from family, neighbors, law enforcement, the kids she was actually allowed to adopt after Dennis died and also the work done by his bio mom to bring attention to the facts of Lois' demonic acts. I was 4 when this happened and lived about 10 miles from WBL.

[@WillowWhispers]

I believe the book is titled "A Death in White Bear Lake". So many people failed this little guy.

[@paranormal6801]

19:45 "I'm here" -ear buds on that one.

[@melodyfrazier9521]

Poor little guy. Monsters do walk among us.

[@Yzabeaux1]

Ron, right when you said "The people of Whitebear Lake have not forgotten him" the "pinwheel" moves then abruptly stops & doesn't move anymore. It's as if Dennis's spirit was confirming what you said. Truly a sad 😔 moving tragedy.🤔

[@annabelleb.8096]

Too bad the older lady could not have kept him. He would have had a happy childhood and been loved. The fact that he could smile like he did in the photo is amazing. How many families would have loved to have a boy like him. 😢

[@gailmiler2797]

I bet that photo was taken before Lois started her abuse.

[@whyaddnamehere]

I remember reading about this murder and my heart broke for Dennis.

[@missynelson5349]

Thank you for telling this story Ron!

[@phelanpawly2507]

I have a gift it seems because I can take one look at someone and see their evil. It’s in their eyes and their face. It was there in her younger photos and the older one. To me that woman is the female Ed Gein. If I was a relative I’d be changing my name real quick. Absolutely tragic for those kids and mental illness or not there’s no excuse. The authorities are as much to blame. That story made my blood boil and I don’t have kids. Would have been a tough story to research for Ron. 😔

[@Breezy-bv9te]

There was a Lifetime movie done in the early 90's on this story starring Beverly D'Angelo and it was one of the saddest stories I have ever seen.

[@heathermanning5368]

Thanks for Sharing! So sad!!!😢 I remember this story just heartbreaking 💔! I’m near Philadelphia and apparently they finally found out the identity of the Boy in the box case and will announce who he is this week 🙏Hopefully this will lead to a suspect although that person is most likely long gone 🙏 May these children have peace in heaven!💜

[@my-mysknitsaloon]

I can't I can't my heart cries for poor little Dennis .That women was worst than the worst in evilness ! Hope you're in a better place now sweet little angel 🤍👼🏼🤍

[@oilathomson]

Child abuse sadly was and is a horrific crime. Instead of ranting about it a comment column get involved. NOW, TODAY! I watch faces of the forgotten too. I also am actively involved in. CASA. I am a survivor of severe child abuse myself. I do appreciate all the work put into Faces of the forgotten. This is a fascinating channel!

[@theresalaux5655]

This is the most horrific case of child abuse I have ever heard of! 😢 I can't even say what people like her need to happen to them. Its too bad that somebody didn't do all that to her!

[@susannahagnone9556]

Ron,you should consider doing a special on Eli Creekmore..you did a wonderful job on Dennis .God bless you!

[@najma242]

I remember watching this on lifetime years ago--truly heart-wrenching story...made me want to grab that woman through that tv ---the system failed this mother and Dennis....i wish there was more justice given to him...how could she cut and burn his body and force horse radish down his throat?...I ate a little of that stuff (without knowing what it was) and I felt i almost nearly died...heartless woman ...may Dennis' story live on to help young babies get rescued before they suffer same fate...

[@marciawylam89]

Tragic, heartbreaking story. Prayers for this poor boy.

[@wendydalton3853]

Fantastic that you give a voice to one's who no longer have a voice. Heartbreaking story. The respect you show is inspiring. Just love your videos. Much love from England x

[@annethomer9569]

Ill be watching never heard of this little boy how sad. It makes me want to cry

[@starspangled4197]

RIP little Dennis. Sidenote: Today is supposed to be the day that LE releases the identity of The Boy in the Box....the little boy found beaten and murdered in 1957 in PA. The little guy has been nameless all these decades and his case unsolved. It has been reported that the boy is related to a prominent family in PA.

[@sondragramse1770]

They look similar

[@unhiddenhistory]

What was his name?

[@starspangled4197]

@@unhiddenhistory 4 yr old Joseph Zarelli.

[@jamiewheeler3771]

I hope she met her true master when she died - RIP Little Dennis 💙🙏💙

[@narelle-creative-arts]

Omg I have to say at first as I didn’t know this story, I felt sorry for Lois getting the electroshock treatment then as you spoke about the utter evil torture she inflicted on Dennis and these other children well hand me that electroshock device strap Lois to the table…who wants a go first!! omg Ron what a terribly difficult story to share…if reincarnation does exist I sure hope Dennis was given a beautiful life with joy, laughter and lots of love and hugs….may his soul be forever at peace.🧚🏼‍♂️🍦🍭🌈💐🧸🚂🪁🪀

[@amandapanda7878]

I have heard about the case but will watch regardless..I strongly believe if you hurt a child, you forfeit the right to live, maybe im too hardh i dont know...btw Hi Ron

[@susanboatman7913]

You're not too harsh. Child abusers and pedophiles are considered the worst criminals even in prison. When they do go to prison they are lucky to live.

[@marybeazley7741]

You are not to harsh because I believe the same as you do 💜💜

[@dawnfunck8928]

The father was the worst criminal, in standing by and enabling this to happen. The woman was insane and rotten to the core, but the husband... this all tore at my heart..

[@Aribbonofsoundmen]

uh? the women who BEAT THE KID TO DEATH is WORSE, the woman is the worst.

[@JSB1882]

Boy! I had forgotten this case until I saw the thumbnail. I'm a little older than Dennis was and remember Lois' trial and was very interested because I live in Minneapolis. I just remember this because it sounded so horrifying, but I could never understand the father - he should have been tried too.

[@carolyndorsey9620]

You're right about the 'system' being screwed up. Satan is running things around the world right now. But hopefully, not for long. The evil is so rampant, it's hard to fatham. I read a book about little Dennis. You could almost feel his pain. People who do these things to little children do not deserve to breathe. Thank you for remembering Little Dennis. God bless. Prayers for all of the suffering little children.

[@Wootangtw]

Very sad… but one good thing …poor Dennis won’t ever be mistreated ever again… he’s with his father in Heaven… thanks for your videos buddy….
