Boy Scout Turned Serial Killer: The John Joubert Story I Dispatches From The Middle

[@blacknbougie8021]

He wasn't a "Boy Scout turned killer." He was a killer that happened to be a Boy Scout. Some pple are just born evil and he is no exception.

[@goldierule1350]

He was definitely evil but, I think he became evil from environmental situations in his life. People said that his mother was cold & manipulative so he probably didn't get much emotional support from her. He was bullied very badly in school. Most kids can go home & get love and support after those bad days & he couldn't. I think that his entire life he held everything negitive inside & was quiet. It kept building up for years & he grew to be angry-bitter-& evil and then every time he killed he was letting anger out so it felt good to him. What a messed up individual. His mother & the schools should have done a better job. However he is 100% at fault for what he did. He knew right from wrong. He killed innocent, young kids & he got what he deserved!

@@goldierule1350 You're right. A lot of us were bullied when we were little kids and it can last right into adulthood by a boss, a coworker, or a fellow soldier in the military, but we don't kill others because we're pissed about it.

[@Elketjeable]

People who have the brain structure genetically inherited of a psychopath; Psychopat traits manifest by trauma and the key seems to be mothers love, especially the lack of it.. This was found when a professor researched psychopats brains and compared them to his own.. Only to find out, they were the same.. And finding out some of his uncles were killers, etc.. What made him not a killer, not even considering it, was mothers love.. So the conclusion is; if you inherit negative qualities to survive, those still need to be triggered to surface and develop.. Which actually is key information in criminal cases.. Since developed mechanisms conclude it's not safe to let individuals like this back to society, because they will remain dangerous and evil, you cannot just change activated dna, if it is this severe..

Agreed. We should not have the death penalty if those truly guilty (without any doubt of guilt, false confessions, or trace of tampering) just sit there for years. What’s the point otherwise? I don’t support it myself. I think being locked up and never getting out is more punishment then the freedom death offers. Plus, if anything to soothe both sides - they should be put in general population. Let ‘nature’ sort it out.

The 1993 abduction and murder of 12 y.o. Angie Housman in a suburb of St. Louis went unsolved for 26 years. She had been tied to a tree in a wildlife preserve and left to die of exposure.

He had been living in the area the whole time and had a family. Everyone had assumed he had died or moved away or was a drifter. This was a huge deal for the community.

I find it disturbing that killers beg for their lives when facing the death penalty, yet have no emotion or empathy for the victims who beg for their lives.

[@Ceerads]

I’m against the death penalty in cases where there’s the slightest possibility that the convicted person is actually innocent. However, in cases such as this one, the sooner the killer is put to death, the better. They have no right to live.

[@Hugatree1]

In cases of child murder the death penalty is the only appropriate sentence

All death sentence convicts upon arrival were lodged in the hospital, where they were put on suicide watch for 1 week before being moved to death row. I still remember the sense od evil I felt every time I performed a welfare check on him. It was a feeling I hope I nevet experiance again in my life! He looked like a 16 yr. Old boy small and quiet. But his aura was pure evil...I can not even describe the feelings that went thru me then. I only worked at the state pen.

And when I was older I read an autobiography on him. He was a MONSTER!!! I was so mad after reading that, I was pretty happy he was dead!

I was a little younger than these boys living in Omaha at this time. Scary times. I remember my family talking to me about this and warning me to be careful.

[@Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9we]

I was about the same age as the boys, and a paper carrier in Nebraska like danny joe eberle. We were scared. My sister and I tell the younger ones now, we were trying not to get grabbed by John Joubert. At the time we understood he sexually assaulted them, maybe it was just assumed. Sickos like that : abduct you, , rape , slit your throat, dump your body. I was glad to have paid attention at the time and had that list of 4 things in the back of my mind as a kid, that's what would happen if you get grabbed. At age 12 or so, and I was tiny, I was biking around 7 pm or so on a summer evening, (mid to late 80s) on a 2 mile paved road to a small town off a larger highway. No other cars around. 2 creepy looking guys slowly drove around me, for a few seconds they were to my left really eyeballing me going the same speed. After a few seconds it sent chills up my spine. Luckily they got a little ahead of me, but still weren't going very fast. It creeped me out that they were 1/2 to 3/4 mile ahead of me but still going slow. I got a bad feeling. It occurred to me in my mind, do you want to die that way after being sodomized ? This is the moment. When I saw them turn into a driveway to turn around, I turned right into a farm field that had a smooth enough lane on one side and peddled for my life. I got quite a way back into the section. I got back on the other side of a fence and got low. From that vantage point, I could see them drive back the whole road 1.5 miles or so, very slow 5-10 mph like they were looking for something. I don't exaggerate. That time, I can still remember so clear, my intuition and everything they did, pointed to they were going to grab off that road. I had a friend a year younger than me that was also small. He told me about when he was 14, jogging on gravel around the section, a guy pulled up along side him, and tried to lure him into the car. My friend went down the ditch over the fence snagging his pants, and ran across the field toward home. Amazing, I sometimes think, I do believe that many kids are abducted, used for sex, and killed, when I see the posters at Walmart. I truly believe both my friend and I narrowly escaped it happening to us. Should have never gone for a ride or run in less than a group of 3 or 4, with knives and pepper spray.

New sub. very well done. thanks.

My husband was stationed at Offutt from 91-98. I know this area well. We lived just a few blocks from that Dairy Queen. It was a nice quiet place where kids walked to school and rode their bikes around. My daughter says I was overprotective because I wouldn’t let her leave our block when riding with her friends. His evil gave all parents pause. I was so relieved when he was executed.

I was a friend & classmate of Danny Joe. He was an angel then & continues to be. This tore his family apart, years later divorcing dividing the entire family. I raised my two children here living with him, three blocks of the Kwik shop, the Dairy Queen, and the house, where he was abducted. When they got a bit older, I took them to the house multiple times (especially since my son one who would talk to anyone who would listen) telling them my friend disappeared there with his bike, leaning up against the fence that still exist. So yes, it changed everyone’s lives forever. Rest in heavenly peace Danny Joe, Christopher Walden, and Rickey Stetson who lost their young lives to a monster. 🔥 burn in hell John Joubert, and the woman that was crazy enough to marry him on death row🔥🤬

[@marissabones]

I actually haven't heard of him before

Scary, isn't he?

[@mariastewart9820]

You should get out more often.

Quarantine brought me here.

P.S. have to add that for ONCE. Both Interviewer & the Two Ladies interviewed really Spoke to US. No O.T.T. rubbish they seemed to express genuine feelings without sobbing in their throats & that made it so much more. moving ....a-jh

[@PaulaakaPaben]

Danny Joe 's family was friends and neighbors to my cousin,her husband helped find him!We were terrified for our children,living close by!Every family close to Omaha was!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

i lived in Bellevue, Nebraska (immediately outside Offutt Air Force Base) when Joubert killed the 2 boys. the whole town and whole area was in effect held hostage because after the first murder, we had no idea what the killer's preferred victim was: males? males and females? parents were watching their children like proverbial hawks. then he killed again...another boy. thank God for the woman at the church for reporting Joubert, which stopped his killing spree. the rope they mentioned? it's parachute rope. the air force service people often used it to replace shoe strings on their combat boots: you cut a length of rope. use a lighter to burn both ends to melt and seal them shut, and string them through your combat boot eyelets. it was one important clue on the case. Joubert sat in prison too long, awaiting his execution. he got fat and lazy while incarcerated. he didn't just kill the boys, he did depraved things to abuse and mutilate the boy's bodies. i'm glad he was put to death.

Although I'm disappointed that those women fell for the whole manipulative "You're not a killer like me ..blah...blah ..blah" crap, the one woman was right it is difficult treading that line between security, & freedom to grow.

[@makeupqueenzz2598]

My baby boy is 12 , I cant even imagine how can someone so Evil do that crime to them lil.boys sooo sad😔😔 my son trains WWE every day, so dont try to mess with him..👊👊

[@ronibopshop]

He was so not sorry. What an awful human being.

[@williamdougie6213]

Its ok he gone!

[@johnthehuman2740]

He killed children who were like he was when he was a child. Did he see himself in them, and then want to kill that former self?

[@keefespencer1173]

You should cover the Bliley brothers of Richmond, VA in the 80s and 90s

[@Devilbaby6669]

If a killer told me that I shouldn’t kill him because then I would be like him, I would be like “ well shucks...it’s for a good cause”

[@SCLana]

His parents abused him? Something happened...

[@0deadx21]

His lived mostly with his controlling mother. What his life with both his parents was before their divorce is unknown.

[@JustAThought155]

Look at them interviewing that manipulator as he exercises more control while gaining attention. And who is the mother laughing after he was caught. Weird stuff.

[@LadyC0bra]

Spend a little more dough on a better microphone. Every soundbite sounds like there's a hand over their mouth. Sorry...don't mean to be critical. The story, writing and video is awesome, as is the reporter's audio. 💗

Son of Sam was a huge case that snapped us into reality.
