    I want to thank you for doing this Madame Morbid because I really appreciate listening to your great stories! And I learned something new about the Doors 🚪 song 🎧 who is my favorite band of all time 🎹🎸🥁

    He reminds me of Charles Starkweather. When Starkweather was asked why he did it he said, "I guess there's just a meanness in this world."

    Dear Madame....Yet another gripping tale, thank you! I would appreciate a similar study of another depraved Missourian who also murdered six victims. Bob Berdella. His awful crimes were national news during the 80s,, but like the saga of Billy, have similarly been forgotten. Forgotten acts so heinous, perhaps it is best to forget.

      Oh man…his name came up recently, as you said I had never heard of him, but a lady at a yard sale said she had personally known him. I looked him up and was just reading Wikipedia, and I had to stop, I just couldn’t take it. I know the name of my channel is Madame Morbid, but it’s more of an inside joke than me actually being a morbid person. (I was called morbid for being fascinated by the Titanic disaster.) I honestly don’t know if I could do it, and if I did I think I’d have to put it on Patreon for content reasons. This video got demonetized, I’m telling you it’s almost impossible to tell stories that don’t involve super happy topics and not get demonetized. It’s so frustrating because history is rarely happy but those stories are important. You’re right though, he was Dahmer before there was Dahmer. Even my husband had never heard of him and he loves serial killer documentaries. I’m sure I could do it, but don’t think I could share it here.

    I remember the time and the talking about him. I remember my Mother telling my Father to stop giving hitch-hikers a ride.The narrator used the word "cock eyed" about his appearance. I remember a neighbor saying the law was afraid to catch him as his "cock eye" stayed open as he slept. It was common practice to give rides to hitch-hikers. Many people remembered the Depression and WWII soldiers needing rides home on leave. I remember his execution . No lollygagging about for 20 years worrying about a "fair trial" over a misplace comma or technicality back then.

      Children could identify him, while the pet dog was killed out of pure meanness. I thought it showed something about his character.

  • @in_vino_veritas7938
    @in_vino_veritas7938 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it can be both. Some people are born bad in that it's just who they are. But there are other cases when nurture (or lack thereof) is the cause. Even that though has to do with predisposition because not everyone who has a truly horrid childhood goes that route. Mental health resources and facilities are highly recommended but positive results won't happen with the truly abhorrent individuals

    I wouldn't call Charles Manson a monster. Not in the same breath as Billy Cook. Charlie was just a petty criminal with a good rap. He never even killed anyone. Tex Watson was the monster of the Manson Family. If it was not for Tex none of the murders would have happened. Charlie is not even close to being in the same league as Tex or Billy Cook or any number of serial killers.

      @MMorbid  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The dog couldn’t identify him, it all pissed me off, but the fact he killed the animal shows his plain old meanness and rage. Originally I mentioned the kids directly but cut it out because it seemed redundant. I thought my opinion came through pretty clearly.

    • @tigger06

      I get angry at ALL of it. You think the poor dog DESERVED it ???? It's just as sad and horrifying for God's sake. Can't stand people who write off animals, especially family pets like they and their lives just don't matter. I can assure you the dog mattered to that family.

    • @Reggie-The-Dog
      @Reggie-The-Dog ปีที่แล้ว

      I first read about Billy Cook back in the 1980s. Him killing the dog upset me more than him killing the family. But given how many years it has been since I first read about it I have had time to wonder. Perhaps Billy possessed an extremely small amount of kindness, and in his warped way of thinking spared the dog from being without its family. We will never know.

      Do you mean the droopy eye? He definitely has it though it isn’t as noticeable in photos as you would think. The fact that it could not close definitely made it very noticeable in person. Believe me, this guy did it.
