The mental image of that poor little baby crying in her dead mothers arms is heart wrenching. She must have been so scared and confused as to why her mom wasn’t comforting her, taking care of her hunger and thirst, as she got progressively colder and lifeless. I feel literal pain thinking about this, especially having had my own baby. I felt terrible if he was crying for an extended amount of time because I didn’t hear him as soon as I would have like to. Thank god she was ok physically after.
Froggy pie Thats not true, its writing the unconscious part of the brain, they may not have memories but many times they will have nightmares about the event. Every experience we have has an impact on how we perceive and interact with the world around us. Our unconscious has way more of an effect on us then most ppl realize
I can't stop thinking about how Vicki ran to Izzy's room to save her and actually managed to save Madison. Such beautiful women did not deserve this monster in their lives. How did he point a gun at his 15 year old daughter who tried to fight him and shoot her in the eye. I absolutely cannot fathom.
My older half brother assaulted me for years. Not only did our mom accuse me of lying (repeatedly)... She also still maintains a relationship with him. I hate them both.
@@mcdougalvalentine5801 I’m sorry but your mom is disgusting like if my daughter told me that her older brother was assaulting her I would literally disown him

The baby Madison is obviously grown up now, her linkedin profile reads “My motivations are wanting to create a better life for myself financially. I want to be able to help people. I wanna be able to make my mom proud. I am skilled at putting data into the computer and helping others in life. My next step in life would be to get an internship and continue my path to being an Rn.” And that is so amazing and beautiful to me. So glad she was able to make a great life for herself despite the horrible things that happened.
I told my husband ( before we even had any kids) that if our kid/kids ever say mom/dad is doing something to he/her to 1st believe them ( even if they say its mom) cuz they need someone to believe and support them you can always figure it out if it's true or not later. I was molested it takes so much for a child to finally open up and let a trusted person know what's been going on The worst is not being believed.
Good on you for having that very important yet difficult convo. If more people did, generations of trauma could be avoided. My grandmother wasn't believed and was told by her mother that she must've imagined it, so when my uncle was molested by my grandfather, my grandmother told him he was lying and must've imagined it (as she probably came to genuinely believe she did too as a child). That uncle died after many years of drug and alcohol abuse. My grandfather was later investigated for molesting children in his care (he was head of a children's ward in a psychiatric hospital). If my uncle was believed, he may not have died and my grandfather could've been charged before he had the chance to molest those other kids. But my grandmother didn't believe him because no one believed her and she learned to accept an adults narrative over a child's, even her own child's. So the cycle continued.
so happy to hear you are breaking the chain of molestation for your children. all the generations before me were molested and my parents never listened to me. children are such sweet souls that need to be listened to and loved
From what I'm seeing, men who sexually abuse their children have no issues escalating to murder. They view their children as their property and will "punish" accordingly when they step out of line. Reminds me of the Said sisters case. So despicable.
Me too!! I especially looked out for her to post a new vid (so she would see my comment, I want her to cover the Jessie Dotson massacre) and when I got the new vid notification there was already hundreds of comments 🙁

The fact that she died holding her baby, and how her mom died protecting her babies as well. These women were amazing mothers and had to of been great sisters. R.I.P. 🌸🤍
this 'man' is the reason why i can never completely dismiss the death penalty, some people are so evil that they do need to die because there are always people they can manipulate and get away with things even if they serve their time.
Its currently 23:40. Its 20 minutes until christmas eve. I’m watching Bella talking about a murder. I’m drinking Pepsi Max and eating chocolate. I love life❤️
To be honest, I think the main motive for killing his daughters might not have been for them not to testify against him In court, but because their accusations ended his marriage of 20 years to Jean. Even though he was very "calm" and seemed kinda detached after the fact, it seems to me that this was a crime of passion and in an emotion-filled moment of rage, I guess the marriage issue spoke louder than the possibility of conviction for molesting his kids - which seems like more of a logical approach to the matter. Extremely horrific though... I hope baby Madison got the emotional and psychological support she so clearly needed after this entire situation.
It would be great if people (including lawyers, investigators etc) stop calling it a ‘crime of passion’. It ought to be called a ‘crime of batshit obsession’ or ‘crime of rabidly emotional obsession’ or something along those lines. Because those that are likely to commit such crimes won’t be deterred if they heard the respectful term ‘crime of passion’, but they might think twice if they learned that they’re going to be termed as someone that committed a crime of rabidly emotional obsession.
@@noraa.616 most killers want to be known as the big bad man that’s why they don't put names like that because that actually attracts a lot of killers.
@@jessicaosborne4588 I can see this, but I also think killers that think that way- ESPECIALLY men- would be more upset to have their crime be called a crime of obsession because that implies that they're too weak to not think about that person and we all know men don't like to be seen as weak. But then again they don't seem to think very logically, so who knows
I agree. I feel like he did not care that he molested the kids. He either didn't feel like it was a big deal or was a narcissist who felt like it should not make him a bad person. The real issue for him was that it ended his marriage and had consequences. I don't know if it was love for Jean so much as frustration that he clearly had no control over this situation
Makes me so mad that when the parents called asking for a welfare check the police said wait until tomorrow. Like there are 3 adults who have regular plans with their family at Christmas and they haven't turned up, that's suspicious and you should check. Ffs
They probably had limited resources for that day and didnt think using it to check on 3 adults was worth it. But completely agree. A quick welfare check should have been done - it couldn't have taken more than half an hour altogether.
Thank you for covering this 💚❤️💚 My little brother went to school with Izzy. We just moved down the street about 2 months before this happened. This was so heartbreaking, our community is still some what shaken from this 18 years later. The house sat empty for years until someone bought it and torn it down. I am happy to hear that Madison is doing great!
@@sammimccutcheon9770 Chris Watts, aka the literal monster, suffocated both of his baby girls and buried them. He wanted to “start over” with his life by quite literally removing everyone from his old life. What a sick twisted man, that case still makes me cry whenever I hear it.
i remember i started watching you when i was 16 years old just as background noise while i fed my newborn, she’s now 4 years old & i listen to you while working, cleaning, cooking❤️ you turned me into a true crime junkie over the years
I’m so glad you covered this case. I was even going to request this case yesterday after watching yesterday’s video...I worked in Middletown around the time that this took place. Just a couple of blocks away from the home. It was a lovely home in a nice town and it sat vacant for years until it was torn down. I did not know the family personally but know many people who did. This was so tragic and such a shock to the community!
so my mom was actually friends with jean. they worked in the hospital together. my mom was working that night on the 24th and jean was supposed to be working that day. their boss was very upset jean didn’t show up to work not knowing she was murdered. my mom still remembers that night when they found out jean had been killed . it’s so sad how this all ended.
don't get me wrong, I think Scott definitely helped his brother and should get some sort of punishment, but 25 years???? that's crazy...there's r*pists that only get like 4 years
Riight seems a tad much but I guess it was a high profile/horrific case so they threw the book at him. I mean he knew his brother was a molester and a murderer but let him live with him and didn't call the police. He only helped after the fact but he'll probably get early parole
It was up to his lawyer to get him a better deal but he did the right thing going up there and shouldn’t be punished less for allowing and arranging for his brother to murder 4 innocent people. He could’ve called the police while there, could’ve grabbed a gun himself and stopped his brother to try to save the girls, could’ve warned the girls beforehand that his brother wanted to kill them so they could better protect themselves or move etc. It’s a sucky situation altogether.
I had a similar experience with my own mom, she died with me in her arms, I cry everytime I get a visual. I can certainly relate to that little baby girl..this story breaks my heart not only do she loose her mother but also her grandma and aunts on the same day. Horrible person
Yeah, I had a very intense discussion about this with some fellow law students. It was stared by me and another girls stating that we could not imagine to be defense attorneys. I could not defend someone who I know is guilty of murder. However defense attorneys are incredibly important for the justice system. Without them the justice system could not be fair, especially to those accused wrongly. They also protect criminals from to harsh sentences. But I could never take this job bc I would not be able to defend a pos like this one.
@@internetpotato6734 yeah they’re need and yes they’re crucial for those who aren’t obviously guilty because then they may be wrongly convicted, but when someone is completely obviously guilty, e.g. their brother completely breaks down and admits the whole thing, knowing that he will be incriminating himself, then I just don’t understand what type of person would agree to take their case on and defend them, like I know someone’s gotta do it but like when they really try and defend these disgusting people, I just think they’re bad people who are blindsided by greed and their reputation imo 😕
I’m from this area and had never heard of this case!! Btw, you did SO GOOD with all of the weird named places, except it’s pronounced like red-ing, not reading. Just found your channel and I’m obsessed!!
The Rocky Rock anecdote is exactly what I needed to lift my spirit after watching this video. Thanks for sharing haha that's pretty great. Reminds me of the fact that there was an old English landowner in my family's hometown called William McWilliam back in the day, idk 17 or 1800s, and in the only surviving painting of him in our museum he looks so miserable. I'll never forget my sister pointing that out and then saying "well he would be, wouldn't he? Willy McWilly. He's got dick in his name twice" 😂😂💀💀💀💀 We call him ol' Double Dick now when we talk about the local history.
bella I have been watching you for YEARS and you’re my comfort videos. your true crime videos are a type of relaxation therapy for me. I always feel informed and educated and you are SO well spoken and respectful of the cases you cover. all i have to say is thank you
It's so interesting hearing this case from someone who doesn't live here where it happened. People still talk about it here. Also, you talking about the distances between PA cities in kilometers is fun.
Omg imagine being that little baby girl and reading Harry Potter for the first time 🥺💔 Reading about Harry's mom who sacrificed herself to save her baby.
Whenever cases like this happen, I always wonder about people like Scott. Like, I wonder if they would have had as strong of a case if he hadn’t come clean about what happened, and I also wonder if when he got that 25 year sentence he regretted not sticking to the hunting cover story
So heartbreaking! I can imagine Vickie’s terror trying to protect Madison and both girls looking at their dad wondering why he would do this. He’s a damn monster is why.
thanks so much for doing what you do. you deff helped get through quarantine and recently getting sick with COVID. you should also start a podcast too!! you’re fun to listen to.
Horrible case, so glad the mum believed her children straight away & acted on it, i’ll never understand how someone can harm anyone like this, especially their family. I’m glad the baby was okay.

Haven't even watched the whole video yet but if Ernist isnt the murderer then I'm shock. Soon as I saw his picture I knew how this story would go. Also the fact that maddison was in her dead mother's arms hurts my heart 😩

He's got dick in his name twice" 😂😂💀💀💀💀 We call him ol' Double Dick now when we talk about the local history.
@@RealElongatedMuskrat haha thanks for sharing - that gave me a laugh!
My friend had a boyfriend named Rocky Rhode, diff speeding them the ice cream, but still... 😂
It’s 1:20 am I’m so glad I waited for this!!!
bella I have been watching you for YEARS and you’re my comfort videos. your true crime videos are a type of relaxation therapy for me. I always feel informed and educated and you are SO well spoken and respectful of the cases you cover. all i have to say is thank you
Just discovered your channel Bella - best true crime presentation I've seen so far. I'm a 62-yr-old mom and this is just heartbreaking.
It's so interesting hearing this case from someone who doesn't live here where it happened. People still talk about it here. Also, you talking about the distances between PA cities in kilometers is fun.
Omg imagine being that little baby girl and reading Harry Potter for the first time 🥺💔 Reading about Harry's mom who sacrificed herself to save her baby.
Umm where are your earrings miss mamas?
Yes I was expecting little christmas trees 🥺
Ears probs sore for wearing it everyday and long periods
Whenever cases like this happen, I always wonder about people like Scott. Like, I wonder if they would have had as strong of a case if he hadn’t come clean about what happened, and I also wonder if when he got that 25 year sentence he regretted not sticking to the hunting cover story
« Get out of my house you slime balls » favourite quote ever
i'm so glad Madison can't remember the crime happening
You Are Beautiful and your story’s are very detailed, I listen to them all day at work !! Love it .
Poor baby Madison 🥺
She is perfect for anytime of day. I watch her videos at work and when I’m trying to relax. Any mood.
I'm sad that Scott went along with it. He obviously cared for them and isn't an evil person. I just can't imagine why he drove his brother there.
Manipulation
A combination of 1. Dumbness 2. Drinks 3. Tiredness 4. Manipulation 5. Mental weakness as in someone who cant keep saying no. 6. Blood relations.
I’m happy they didn’t harm the baby but the part that the deceased mom was holding her got me 😭😔
So heartbreaking! I can imagine Vickie’s terror trying to protect Madison and both girls looking at their dad wondering why he would do this.
He’s a damn monster is why.
thanks so much for doing what you do. you deff helped get through quarantine and recently getting sick with COVID. you should also start a podcast too!! you’re fun to listen to.
something about this video quality today....*chef's kiss*
Thanks so much for putting the update in for baby Madison! So happy to hear she’s great!
Horrible case, so glad the mum believed her children straight away & acted on it, i’ll never understand how someone can harm anyone like this, especially their family. I’m glad the baby was okay.
I’ve only just discovered your videos this month and I can’t get enough! you’re doing a fantastic job xo
SO glad Ernest didn’t get away with it!
Thank you for putting in the update about the baby at the end! I was wondering about her pretty much the whole time such a terrible thing to happen 😔
What a tragic case! 💔 I feel that justice was served in this case, but even that won’t bring these woman back. I hope that they are all resting in peace. 💕🙏🏼😘
I have never been this sad that it is almost christmas, so no more 12 days of christmas😔
Oh my Hun. I send u love. Play Bob Rivers, police stop my car. Watch a funny film. Laugh, it's good for the soul😁😁👍👍
@@lyndseywilliams3895 thank you, Merry Christmas❤️❤️
Alsoo I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas and happy holidays! Sending lots of love to everybody ❤️
Back to you
I love that she’s reminded how much her mom loved her, like the fact that her dad does that makes me so happy and I literally cried when u said that
Happy Christmas Eve Bella!! Thank you for blessing us with so many videos 🥰🥰
love these everyday uploads , don’t want it to end 🥺
Thank God the mom insisted on a wellfare check. Thats why the baby is still alive 👀💔 its a terrible tragedy but thats the only silver lining
I can always count on you to really do great research on cases....so happy to have found your channel....
Love youuu thanks for all the work your putting into this!!!❤️
These videos are making my whole life right now Bella. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This is crazy. I lived in Middletown my whole entire life until this last august.
Thank you so much for all of your work and these videos! They are making life a little easier lately! 😊👍
Merry Christmas Eve -Eve 💚❤️🤍
To you too!! Lots of love 💕
Or Merry Christmas Adam! Lol
Thank you beautiful angel for this case, Rest in peace beautiful angels💛
Haven't even watched the whole video yet but if Ernist isnt the murderer then I'm shock. Soon as I saw his picture I knew how this story would go.
Also the fact that maddison was in her dead mother's arms hurts my heart 😩
I have so many friends in Middletown I used to travel up there a lot to visit not anymore though. I live an hour from there.
i’ve never been so early for a video before
7:31 OMG as a mother myself, I cant imagine the fear any of them had but especially Vikki. She just wanted to protect her baby and little sister 😢. My heart breaks for all 3. May they rest in peace
A mother’s love is a powerful thing. She died protecting her baby and comforting her in her lost moments of life.
I went to all four years of high school with Madison. She was the 9 month old that survived. I didn’t know this happened until after we graduated.
“Get out you absolute slime ball!”
🤣🤣
