The Unthinkable Murder of Jeanette DePalma

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

That’s true the seventies had a lot of serial killers and just many mysterious killings. Sad story , it’s good you told it 🙏

[@STAYWOKE000]

70s 80s & 90s forsure

[@sandysue202]

In the 1970's, I was in my 20's. I guess I never realized that there were a number of mysterious deaths and serial killings going on. I do wish that the truth of Jeanette's death would be found out. How tough for her family to never know for sure what happened to her. Thank you for telling her story and for bringing her death out to the public again. Maybe somebody will finally come forward with some new information. ❤

[@David-vt3hn]

I agree with you. The fact that her remains were so old and of no use to even say how the poor girl died is just creepy

[@cynthiamorua1624]

Such a weird story....thanks for covering this!

[@speedfreak8200]

I was about 16 in 1970 I picked up hitchhikers all the time, and so did my folks, never had a problem. Sometimes give them a little tour of our little town (st.helens, or) and drop them off at the county line. We never picked up anyone with short hair as they may have just gotten out of prison. You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I miss those carefree days of peace, love, and dope

[@michaelsteven1090]

The BEST of times..Only we know..

[@jessealava7747]

I live in Springfield and am absolutely fascinated by this story. So many missing pieces to this story.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.

[@NeilRoy]

I used to hitchhike all the time as a teen. These sorts of things just never crossed my mind. But then, we didn't have the internet back then. Just newspapers (which teens never read) and some fuzzy, local news via antennae, and we didn't watch a lot of TV either. I never had a problem so... guess I should thank God for that.

[@normahepburn1643]

I also did a lot of hich hiking when i was a young teenager and thank the Lord for protecting me also.

[@michaelsteven1090]

I grew up in the 70's and hitchhiked all the time..Everybody did..There were very few who ever had a problem doing it..the numbers speak for themselves..And honestly, these times are MUCH more dangerous growing up then when we did..

[@michaelsteven1090]

@@normahepburn1643 And I bet you had all friendly rides from good people..Hitchhiking today would be a death sentence..Maybe the Lord put a halt to it? 😏

[@sallykohorst8803]

So sad not knowing what happened and why. Thanks for sharing this case.

[@samanthab1923]

Thanks for taking us along. I read the book & followed the story in Weird NJ. Tons of anonymous letters from locals claiming it was a cover up. It was cool to see the real spots. In my mind I always imagined she came in from the back. Didn’t know it was a drop off. You’re right about that time. The Princess Doe case in Blairstown. The List murders in Westfield. Near the Watcher House. At least two serial killers in NJ during that time. Poor girl 🙏🏻

[@MobileInstinct]

Absolutely! Joan Kramer was murdered around the same time and close by. Robert Zarinsky was out there right at that time too

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

Blairstown is my hometown and she is buried in Cedar Ridge Cemetery. My grands & great grands are also buried there. I remember seeing Princess Doe's grave and my Gram's told me the story and she was from Britian I think. She was found dead on the side of the road close to the cemetery. They also filmed part of the original Friday the 13th in Blairstown. I know where the camp is, my grandparents house is a few minutes down the road from there. I know where all the filming spots' are.

[@chrishallmark4407]

@@MobileInstinct Robert Zarinsky was an absolute sociopath in every sense of the word. Most of his murders however, were down a bit closer to the Jersey Shore area, where I believe his Father's produce delivery route took him. But he's definitely a strong candidate for the Kramer murder IMO. That is...... if Otto Nilson wasn't her killer......but that's a whole new ballgame

[@sylviamiller9047]

My goodness what a scary and sad story thank you for remembering this young lady and for telling this story!

[@jamesholt7612]

Such a sad story. Very well edited and put together Chris.

[@chrishallmark4407]

I live in New Jersey and I've been following this case for a very long time. I'm also a FedEx driver, and I deliver to those apartments on Wilson Ave frequently. I also regularly deliver to 4 Clearview Rd. which is where she used to live. I retraced Jeanette steps from her house, following turn by turn all the way up Summit Rd. to High Point Drive where she supposedly stopped by her friend Donna's house. Contrary to popular belief, and proven by very recent crime scene photos, there is absolutely zero evidence of any Satanic ritualism whatsoever. I've walked down Mount View Road many times, I've even been to the devil's teeth cliff and I can tell you there is no way in hell to carry a body all the way up there unless you are a world-class athlete. The whole thing makes absolutely no sense. By the way ........ It was the police that found her....... when the dog brought the arm to the apartment complex, the police were called and set up a search team.

[@garyrobinson5092]

Jeanettes mother found a book on Satanism under her bedroom mattress. Her mother was baffled as Jeanette was a devout Christian.

[@michaelsteven1090]

Whats your best guess?..What do you think since you've been following the case?

[@sweettart130]

The book you spoke of is Death on the Devil's Teeth by Jesse Pollack. Great read.

[@paradiseana7634]

It's incredibly sad. That authorities have no interest in pursuing justice. For this young girl and her family. What makes this case so difficult. Are the many theories that surround it. What this case needs. Is a determined cold case defective. Feel for her family. Going through life not knowing. What happened to their child. It's a hellish nightmare and so unjust.😥🤬⚖️

[@7531monkey]

No evidence to say the authorities have no interet in this case.

[@michaelsteven1090]

They need DNA to solve this which they don't have..90% of cold cases are solved from DNA evidence..There are millions of unsolved murders.

[@valariebedard2164]

Interesting mystery.... you always have a great story to share... 😮

[@christinedelman887]

It's wonderful how you bring these obscure cases to the front again, and tell things honestly, yet gently. Thank you for doing that Chris, I pray this one gets solved as well. I remember the satanic panic of the 70's into the 80's, not vividly but I do remember it.

[@TonyPartington]

Excellent job Chris. A fascinating and very sad story. Thanks for sharing your work and your art

[@Jared_Wignall]

Such a sad story. May she rest in peace and it would be nice if one day we find out who killed her, even if the person is dead already. Thank you for the video and telling the story Chris, keep up the great work. Take care!

[@chrishallmark4407]

Also, that house was recently purchased and renovated, it's a completely different color than the brownish that it was when Jeannette lived there up until maybe 2 years ago. The horseshoe driveway is also brand new, it used to be just a simple driveway leading up to the garage.

[@lucidrain9469]

I live about 5 minutes from mount view road. I remember this story from my old man. the Springfield police claim all the records were "washed away in a flood".. super sketch

[@ericmotocross]

I think it's like those girls killed by serial killer on long Island...it's a cover up of rich people murders...👀

[@jaspajones7045]

They probably had their fun with her.

[@addicted367]

Maybe they should look at the guy who owned the dog. The same thing happened with the David Reed case. The dog brought back the bones, but that guy ended up being the killer!

[@lynnejohnston8922]

Such a sad story it must have been so hard for her poor family may she rest in peace 🕊️ it would be nice if one day they would find out who killed her even if the person that did it had past away at least it would be solved i would like to take the time out to appreciate all the hard work that Chris puts into making all these videos as always he puts in a 💯 and in all his videos and not forgetting all the traveling he puts into making all these videos...👏👏👏

[@Caine99223]

Great video. Thanks for bringing light to this. But I’m just gonna say, the audio level changes pretty drastically throughout. It doesn’t happen in your other ones

[@Carolbearce]

This is such a sad story but I am glad her body was found.

[@Bill-cv1xu]

True that, I was living in Alaska in 78, a man was wanted in a few killings of young girls. When he was identified he moved to Texas, when he knew that he had warrants for his arrest, he committed suicide by riding his motorcycle head on into a tractor trailer.

great video as usual... always leaves me wondering how you're dealing with the ticks

[@gerardnglavin6249]

Wow. Stunning post. Excellent narration and information. Love it as always...

[@nickcef]

Such a heartbreaking story, but you gotta figure that there was probably a lot less vegetation and trees around the area back in '72, making it easier to find the body.

[@chrishallmark4407]

Actually by all accounts, the vegetation was just as heavy as it is now. There is no way she went up there to party or anything like that, that is absolutely not a hangout spot.

[@addicted367]

I’m thinking the dog lead them back to where she was

[@gregman1715]

Poor Young Lady May She Rest In Peace 🙏❤️

[@lornalulich9562]

Me too, Chris wonder what happened to her? Sometimes I wish when we die we can come back somehow to say how we died. Guess thats kind of crazy of me to think that. It would solve alot of questions wouldn't it? To know who did it, why, & get justice. Some cases are still unsolved & these murderers lived their lives. Idk as I said crazy thinking, talken, huh? Be safe out there & thanks for bringing this to light. Maybe someone will come forward & solve this. 🤔

[@bexlyspeed]

I highly recommend the book, death on devils teeth. So much weird shit going on in that area at the time

[@TheCriminalViolin]

I get the feeling that she may have been placed up there in that way intentionally, as a sort of display/distraction. Whether it was a serial killer responsible or not. But serial killers as we all known adore leaving mementos, hints, riddles, or anything that is a identifier, especially ones that they know would be memorable and ensure plenty of lasting attention or even distraction is added in as a effect.

[@jimsoutdooradventures2748]

Since it was such a remote location her remains were found, I would think the person that found her would be at the top of the suspect list. It happens often when killers want their victims found or want to take suspension away from themselves

[@chrishallmark4407]

It was the police that found her, after the dog brought the arm home at the Baltusrol Gardens Apartments, the police were called and set up a search party

[@rickengen5249]

Thanks chris

[@scottrider641]

Her brief life was tragic. But also tragic is the possible cover up by law authorities. Too convenient that records were washed away in a flood. Did authorities help push the idea of witchcraft to take heat off themselves? Maybe even law officers and/or local politicians were involved in this and other murders? Food for thought. Great whodunnit. Thanks, Chris

[@ericmotocross]

Like the Amityville murders in NY basically blamed son when media covered up for the mob...

[@Kingisaac2020]

that is very true a lot of killers and this is sad and Chris this is a good video you did i'll try to find some abandoned places and murder places for you

[@jamesortiz5388]

One of my friends a pretty young girl loved to travel she hitchhiked everywhere. I was asking about her and her friends said a serial killer truck driver had killed her. So sad.

[@wulfsorenson8859]

When did that happen?

[@CarolineWessonFLGirl]

I think alot of serial killers got away with alot back in the 70s and earlier, due to lack of technology, in my opinion of course.

[@anadraham2995]

I hadn't known of this until around 2006 when i started getting a bunch of Weird NJ back issues (they covered it several times).

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

[@gregggoss2210]

Weird N.J. has done several stories on this over the years. There were several assumptions that the identity of the murderer was known but the person who perpetrated it was being protected because of who they were ( possibly politically connected).

[@garyrobinson5092]

Bingo!

[@Liz-cmc313]

I don't see this being solved. She obviously was put there. Most likely hitched a ride with the killer. RIP

Same thing happened to me once, except it was a skull. Someone had lost their head and got carried away. There was a big stink about it.

[@g-lolita3458]

I know this story very well my older family lived around the same area. & My Mom said the 60s & 70s had a lot of killers. & the worst part she always used to hitchhike just like many young people did back then. Thank God she never got kidnapped or worst but a lot of young people did get caught up by the wrong people just because they wanted to hitchhike to get to where they wanted

[@cgimovieman]

I don’t know the very specific details of the case, but it seems most likely to me that she was trying to hitchhike, was raped and then murdered, and then the murderer took the body up to that place to dump it. It seems like a place that is out of the way and takes some effort to get to. So if she was ever found, there wouldn’t be anything left, as animals got to her over the years and scattered the bones.

It was not when it started it was when it got recogneized and named. It was the beginning of another way of investigating. (It would be about 50 years more for police to stop calling every teen thatwent missing a runaway but at least the fact that there were serial killers was acknowledged but they didn’t start murdering in the seventies)
