    Damn your a Rocket Scientist you guess at what we know. Honest opinions??? 😡

  • @frankieseidl

    The mom of the girls did not know that they had already seen the movie many times, or why would she cave? Also they are sooo young to be out at night in the city! Insane.

    "Pompadour" was the Elvis hairstyle. It was often combed into a "ducktail" in the back.

    Two seconds in after fast forwarding from the self promotion I had to leave……

  • @summer-west

    Haha Titanic. My parents drove 800 miles to see that at a drive-in theater.

  • @jen_wren_x

    So sad.. especially for their mother & siblings.. the lack of immediate police serious response wasted precious time.. 😡
    And, It’s so heartbreaking that their mother instinctually knew that to her 2 girls hadn’t been run always 💔 also that they’d never get in a car with a stranger. So it’s had to someone they knew. The fact that person went on to scare their grieving mother with threats to kidnap her other kids is sickening!!😡
    🎉 Love your channel.. keep up the great work🥳 sending good vibes from Scotland. Uk..🥰🤩

  • @kristinelizabeth2982

    Omg – sis & I saw La Bamba every Saturday AND Sunday for as long as it was in theaters.

  • @thejoreysofar

    34:45 Stephanie! You said you felt this case had similarities to the WM3 case and now there’s someone w the last name Echols?! 😂😂

  • @malicemadness5946

    It’s the saddest thing ever when some sick, wackjob thinks it’s funny or entertaining to torture parents who are already going through the hardest thing possible. 😢

  • @michhaynes7272

    I always wonder how those who know of a monster responsible for such a crime can live with themselves without coming forward!

  • @irenestrmnss4496

    WONDER HOW ONE PERSON CAN KIDNAPP AND KILL 2 OR MORE PERSONS ALONE. AT THE SAME TIME.
    LIKE 3 BOYS WHEN YOU ARE ALONE. WITH GUN, THREATHS OR OTHER WEAPONS ? OR WAS THERE ONE MORE PERSON.
    NOT EASY TO DRAG 3 BOYS AT THAT AGE INTO A CAR IF YOU ARE JUST ONE PERSON.
    AND AS ALSO 2 TEEN GIRLS INTO A CAR. ?
    BUT GUESS HE SCARE THEM AND THREATHENS THEM, OR HAS A GUN.
    MANY TIMES I THINK THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE MAN. MAYBE AT LEAST 2 MEN

  • @barronmaxxx2991

    As an actor I've been to most major cities in the United States. 2 cities that had me feeling that something's just not right here were…Oklahoma City and Chicago. I'm originally from a Boston Suburb but, I also live in Los Angeles.

  • @user-sg3st5bi1s

    You should cover the missing persons case of Mitchel Weiser & Bonnie Bickwit. Been 50 years since they disappeared in 1973

  • @Sweetrottenapple

    I still hear a lot of cases where people thinks they saw a mannequin when they discover a body. Especially if the body is not bloody. I guess it is because the numbness and the very pale skin of a dead body what makes people think it's a mannequin. Secondly it is your own brain that wants to protect you literally from trauma caused by the sight of a dead person.

  • @ANDREA-kk2gx

    Aww Patricia had my twins birthday Dec 31 st… Sad

  • @birdsong1044

    I’m a relatively new watcher and I know she has several series. Are there any series that don’t show the graphic photos? I understand many people can handle it but wondering if there might be a series she does that don’t show crime scene photos? No judgement on anyone but I just have a harder time seeing those things and I so enjoy her content. Thank you!

  • @basic_CeceRae

    Wait so there were three boys killed in a similar way as the three boys in west Memphis and there was also someone involved in each of them with the last name Echols… Are we living in the matrix or what ?? 👀

  • @roberthatton1226

    Wasn't it Chicago where that guy killed 6 or 8 nurses? Chicago is a horrible place in history. 1971 I came Through Chicago with a dumbass major who kept asking how many people I had killed. DUMBASS!!!😢

  • @christinatefckepedersen1998

    I LOVE Hunt a Killer! I just got my first box, and I remember seeing you opening another box with some alien socks in it – I'd really like to buy that one next – but can you remember which one it was, Stephanie? Or anyone else?? 🙂

  • @navinchaal8794

    Runaways may encounter foul play too. Doesn't mean that just because the kids ran away from home, they are safe. Somebody may see some kid all alone and decide that they were an easy target. Nowadays, the runaway kid may be a victim of grooming and be in serious danger. Way to go police, just assume if a kid ran away, they are absolutely safe on the streets and should not be found and brought back.

  • @mes7662

    I think it was Charles. It's odd that in the first murder case he had he claimed the killer called him to give the location but he actually did it and them someone did the same to their mother.

  • @samantarizzi248

    Poor mother, the poor woman lost two children. Can’t imagine the pain 🥺

  • @mwillis7791

    Blows my mind that literal children can be out on the street and we just won’t bother because maybe they ran away…. They are CHILDREN!!

  • @micahjones4512

    You didn't say a word about the cab drivers name being the same as Damien Echols right after talking about the West Memphis Three. I'm assuming you just let it go because that was like a strobe light. You probably won't see this either since it's a couple of years old

  • @micahjones4512

    People STILL think dead people are mannequins pretty often. It seems to me that if I didnt see a rigid arm or leg or both sticking up in the air or propping themselves up with a finger I would know that at the very least it wasn't a mannequin.. I guess I cant say what I'd know or didn't without being in the situation. It's probably pretty jarring and one of those things your brain tries to explain away if you are a human that doesn't enjoy terrible things.

  • @Gigibaby88

    This has nothing to do with the content of the video so please excuse my enthusiasm but Loretta Grimes was the name of my most beloved first singing teacher! Every time you said it, it made me smile thinking about her. Again, totally unrelated to the content which is obviously extremely tragic but I just wanted to share that nice memory 💙

  • @stephanicraig3007

    Please can u get more in depth of the Grimes murders also I would like for you to feature the murder of Angie Houseman(? spelling)in Missouri back in the '90s. She was found in the Busch Wildlife Reserve. It needs attention as it deserves.Please .And I thank you

  • @dhss333

    CIA needed more secret mind-experimentation guineapig victims.

  • @BG-ig6fd

    There is a case that has always baffled me. A child in my neighborhood growing up went missing only a block and a half from my house. She was never found and they never figured out what happened to her. Her name was Rachel Hanna Ziselman, age 11, in Pacific Palisades, California. She went missing Sept. 5, 1977. She was last seen walking down the street carrying groceries home. Pacific Palisades at that time was a small town, very peaceful and a low crime area. I was only 7 at the time and this case has haunted me since forever. I don’t expect Stephanie Harlowe to be able to uncover anything, since no one has in all these decades. But it would be nice for Rachel to not be forgotten, somehow.

  • @JR-xw5nv

    Thank you for covering this! I only read about it in one book, and that book seemed to think it had just been a prank gone wrong, and I just…the guilty party would have needed to be incredibly young and likely have a severe mental disorder to think this was a "prank." To just leave the two girls out there with no clothes is heinous, whether they were dead at the time they were left or not. Also the phone call about the toes points to someone relishing a mother's pain, not someone who did something stupid. I'm very glad to hear a more serious take on this.
    I'm not sure about the timeline, but the fact that the Mercury pops up in so many sightings makes me think those sightinfs are almost certainly genuine. Timeline discrepancies could be explained by people guesstimating the time. I know if I had to say what I did a few days ago, I probably couldn't give an accurate timeline, if I could even give an accurate account of events. (Of course, I would also only be able to give the color and basic size of thr car, not thr make, but I digress.)

  • @grahamturner7759

    I love listening to Stephanie talk. I think I'm a member of all of her groups of true Crime on YouTube. She did a while back talk about doing a history series that I thought would have been really interesting but I never heard anymore about it. She's so easy on the ear and very articulate & a true pleasure to listen to. Please keep up the great work. 👍👍

  • @positivevibes4evr

    Was the dna ever searched

  • @kaliver517

    All these dudes "accidentally" killing women after being rejected. I suspect this excuse worked from time to time.

  • @coteezy86

    Talk about similarities with the WM3…besiseds the ones she mentioned, you even have the same surnames occuring..not to mention contradictory wittness sightings, someone of low IQ being conned into signing a confession, and the county and LE clearly not acting in good faith and lying about facts, and the heavy press attention making it's way into the story itself

  • @coteezy86

    I think between window shopping and dpt. Stores…the fact most people's experience with dead bodies were at open casket funerals after a mortician had done his job with them..and the lack of TV shows or movies or channels like this people never realy saw accurate artistic recreations of dead people…is the reason so many of these vintage stories reference wittness's stating they thought they were mannequins they'd seen…in my opinion

  • @IzzyOnTheMove

    Another thing that totally doesn't make sense with the Benny & Frank story, besides the victims' stomach contents: if the two girls (who I'm convinced would not have done that) would have been carousing and "living in hotels" with those 2 boys for ten days, why would they then refuse their advances in a car? And why go park in a car to have sex when you could do that in a hotel room for ten days prior to that? Makes no sense at all. Sounds like th epolice were trying to find suspects and arrest someone fast.

  • @IzzyOnTheMove

    48:07 Wait, what? Benny didn't know how to write and now he's writing a letter? 🧐They need to find out who in that area drove a black Mercury at that time.

  • @kosmoandwanda

    How many mannequins were being tossed back then? Lmao. I never see a discarded store mannequin today…

  • @IzzyOnTheMove

    Wow i thought i had binge watched your entire channel but i never saw this video with that intro?!

  • @nobye9716

    That man who said he has psychic abilities and kept failing that one part on the polygraph, it is VERY possible he saw the bodies in his dream and thats why he was not able to say honestly that he never saw them after death. People can think its crazy all they want but many non for profit groups help solve missing persons cases with the help of psychics/remote viewers. There is one working on my missing mothers case right now and they have already solved over 100 missing cases JUST with remote viewers, pretty incredible stuff. But could absolutely explain why he kept failing that question.

  • @letsdoacpleaselol577

    Consensual?? What a slap in the parents face!!

  • @douglaspellett1533

    Great job on this case study presentation. My great aunt was the aunt to Patricia and Barbara Grimes. She didn’t really talk about the case too much. Every so often at family gatherings. Always interest me to find out more about the case and you covered so much more than anything she had mentioned. From what I remember, there’s a ghost story that goes along with their discovery on German Church Road.

  • @deborahlynnxyz

    I don't see the progress you spoke of. My sister assaulted an elderly woman in her care, fought the police and pepper sprayed them when they arrived, got herself transferred to the next town to the next hospital and hand delivered to my door less than 24 hours after I posted to FB that we really had the Christmas spirit this year(last year). The next day I took her to a different hospital and a few hours later she was allowed to sign herself out and they called me to pick her up. That evening she rushed at my son screaming "get your guns out" several times and she lunged at my son with a metal chair hitting him twice tearing his denim jeans and wounding him before he shot her. She fought the police again when they arrived and threw stuff at them and they tazed her. She got out of the hospital(from her gun shot wound) in 24 hours and signed herself out of jail the next day. Warren County probably still doesn't know she has warrants in Hart County and vise versa. She didn't show up for her court date and it took them(Warren County) three months to find her the whole time we had to fear of her return because they had taken our guns. What a shit show. Satan has to be laughing his ass off at our justice system.

  • @dragon21gaming98

    What is that music on the intro?

  • @minelliradney9132

    Someone made them take their clothes off..and left them. They wanted them to freeze to death. The thieves wanted money. The girls did not have anything…So, they..,.the two girls lied on top of each…to keep warm…They did not.know where they were..So, they remained where they were

    2 different cases…Copy cat killers

  • @sugarbabe5728

    Possibly the girls were drugged with something that they didn't have the technology to detect it. When they were dumped, they ended up dying from hypothermia because they were unconscious from whatever was given to them. Or, idk if they were able to detect it then, but if they were given insulin it could've killed them also. Idk, just thoughts about why they didn't move and try to save themselves if they weren't already dead. Or, they were locked outside somewhere without heat

  • @ellasparks2488

    How in the world do you sneak a banana split? LOL

  • @joyceboyd2648

    When I was a young girl this case
    Worried me to no end , I kept thinking why didn't some co.e alone to help these 2 girls. They froze as I remember. This case and the kids who got burned in a catholic
    School worried me as will I think
    The nun saw the only way to try to save them was to take them to
    The attic. It didn't help.
    I read that paper over and over
    Hurting in my heart .more each time.
    I studied those photos of those
    Kids who died. I remember well.
