Danielle Kirsty there was a case involving 5 people taken & murdered from a restaurant called Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1983. It happened in Kilgore Texas. It’s a complicated case which I’m not %100 the right people were convicted.
I get that people have a distant relationship with familhy but FOUR YEARS. Come on. Nope. Not even checking on them during the whole scamdemic sitch? No. Something weird going on with this. Danielle I lurve your vids. Gonna stick another request in for the Pickton Farm muders please xx
It actually makes complete sense why she was acting so chill when the cops were there. 4 years of being paranoid, getting crazier and crazier, waiting for the police to bust down the door. When they finally did it was probably a relief
Clearly a very sad lonely girl that got herself in a situation & did something so horrific. Obviously such a dysfunctional family if no one cared for 4 years 😪
Thats what I was thinking too. Do they even adore their parents like they said in their statements? It’s very weird. I talk to my parents every few days and even see them every so often. I’d never go years without seeing them.
Exactly. My parents just went on vacation for 6 days and as soon as they got home, I was over to visit within 15 minutes! I haven’t been over a week without visiting or FaceTiming when they’re long distance.
Love spending time with them doesn’t mean doing it often. Only saw my paternal grandmother once in my life for a few days. Twas long enough. Spoke rarely and she was a cold, cold woman, however I had decent conversations with her. I enjoy the time I had with her yet never wanted to see her again. Two things can be true at the same time. We shouldn’t judge on dynamics we are unaware of.
I think that they relied on Virginia to take care of them. And you wouldn't think your sister would murder your parents and they propably just had their own lives. It is weird, but I get how it happens. Maybe each sister thought the other had seen them/talked to them.
Virginia is obviously a disturbed woman who needs to be locked away BUT I do believe her when it comes to her parents. The fact that they had 4 other daughters who didn’t bother looking into their mysterious behavior for FOUR years says a lot. They obviously weren’t close, for a reason. Their emotionally distant and abusive parenting probably made Virginia that cold. It’s awful and they were probably just a product of their own environment, but the fact that the siblings are trying to deny it is just ridiculous. If I don’t hear from my mom for a couple of days, I’m calling the cops.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think the fact that her siblings said oh she's a compulsive liar is covering up for the fact that they know she's right about them and they don't want to live with the guilt and/or shame.
@@miabennett04 No one said that. What I said was that being cold and emotionally distant towards your kids can stunt their development to the point where they feel indifferent to others peoples suffering and emotions. Because they were never shown emotions or taught how to deal with their own. ASPD comes to mind.
@@stephaniesanders3636 That’s probably what it is. They probably feel guilty for not checking in on their parents and they want to believe the best of their parents and it’s easier to blame the one sibling than to accept the fact that their parents weren’t great.
The fact that the siblings deny abuse means nothing. This is actually something the majority of the children of those types of households will do. The fact that NONE OF THEM contacted their parents in at least 4 years speaks more to the truth. The dry, no nonsense way in which Virginia tells the police what happened, makes me believe her even more.
@EllaGreenn also often there is one that is abused and the others are not. It's inexplicable but I agree there must have been more than they are saying going on.
I also think that because mom has OCD and agoraphobia and dad was on the spectrum, they really aren’t able to mantain relationships so it isn’t too shocking that they don’t come over to visit. Their parents just keep to themselves.
The sisters let FOUR YEARS go by without seeing their parents? That's insane. I wonder what type of parents they were that not ONE child out of 5 were close enough to keep consistent contact with their parents.
My ex-husband’s sister won’t have anything to do with their parents … when we were married, I’d encourage him to call them, but it was like pulling teeth to get him to do so … he currently lives with them, but that’s the only reason he speaks to them, whenever he’s on his own, not needing them for food/ shelter, he avoids them. Mostly his mom., and after having lived by them for a while, I completely understand why my ex and his sister really don’t want to have anything to do with them … his mom is completely manipulative, and his dad goes along with whatever she does … so when there are multiple children refusing to have anything to do with their parents, or just don’t bother to check on them, I have to believe that there was something going on in the house when they were growing up …not that this justifies this woman’s behaviour, but I find it difficult to believe that her sisters adored their parents, or really care much at all, or that there wasn’t some abuse.
Honestly the emotional coldness could be enough. If there was physical abuse even more reason to go no contact. Maybe they were starting to build from no contact to texts and rare visits.
Well one’ one out of the other four u mean’. Because greedy Virginia sure did!!! Then say after they found out oh we adored them. They loved to visit their grandchildren just not for years
@@conniccomahh an opportunist. Did u ever work out if it was him or them? I’m assuming HIM, the ex gives it away, and the whole ‘ when he doesn’t need them and on his own thing.
11 things of plastic wrap lol. I’d believe that would definitely contain that smell for awhile. God damn. It’s kinda crazy that she was so confident in gorilla tape and plastic wrap… almost commercial levels tbh.
Probably the cement blocks? Anything in the air can’t seep through those things. Although idk the exact details as to how these tombs were designed, but it sounds like they were all tightly glued together.
I had a lovely neighbor once, who had his mother over. I was so shocked how mean they were, they seemed to hate her. Then they told me that the mother had tortured him and his siblings their entire childhoods. This taught me not to judge too quickly
Hmmm I was abused and neglected by my mother, but she was only mildly abusive to my brothers. It can definitely happen to either 1 or just some of the children.
In fact there is usually a golden child, often used to intensify the other child's feelings of abandonment. In many cases where a child dies from abuse or neglect the others were treated well.
Three of Fritzl's children with his own daughter lived underground and had never seen daylight. One had been incinerated at birth. Three lived in luxury and had piano lessons. It's actually very common. Jarrod Tutko. Jordan Burling. Quintin Simon. Timothy Ferguson. Often the special needs kid is the target.
I was neglected by my mother as an infant, she then flitted in and out of my life and then fully abandoned me when I was 16, she also did that to my older half brother, but our two younger half siblings are the light of her life. I had her on my Facebook for a little bit. She never once spoke to me on there, but I got to see her constant posts about my brothers and all their achievements. It was so hurtful to see that because I felt like I'd done something to deserve her abandoning me as a child. When I got really sick last year, I was documenting it on my Facebook as a way to process everything, she never reached out. Yet again, a kick in teeth with her fulling knowing I was going through testing for MS, brain tumours, parkisons, aneurysms, rare kinds of epilepsy. I removed her from my socials it was the best decision I could have made. I have no desire to have a relationship with her, and I feel good in my heart about that choice, I just feel like I was robbed of a relationship with my siblings, though. It's sad.
My elderly neighbour told me about her mother. She said her mum never wanted her, and dealt out a lot of abuse (to the point her father was afraid she'd one day kill her). Yet, the mother absolutely adored her other daughter, my neighbour's sister, and doted on her! The two girls were raised in polar opposite ways.
Reminds me of the book I child called it. Literally only one child was abused horribly and the others were not. It happens often where one child is singled out for abuse and isolated. I feel like it’s to make that child less credible if they ever speak up.
people heard the mom screaming social services were involved but when virginia says that her mum was violent we have to take everything with a pinch of salt?
Yeah. Same thought. And the fact the other siblings didn't visit over four yrs and just believed the text and whatnot, says a lot. And the difference between how the dad was killed and entombed and the mom,,says a lot.
It’s incredibly common for only one child in a family to tell the truth about abusive family dynamics. Because there is a lot to lose and very little to gain, children rarely tell. There is actually a name for the child willing to speak- the whistleblower. I honestly believe this happened to all the children but they probably have their reasons for not speaking up. Also, her parents were abusive and didn’t care what happened to her so why would she take care of her parents? I sure as hell wouldn’t. Murder is NEVER okay, and this woman did some terrible things, but it sounds like both parties were wrong in this situation. If you can’t be a good parent, don’t have kids. If you had bad parents, don’t live with your parents as an adult!
Wow! My husband was one of five..one says he was abused the rest live in denial, I think it's pride..it's really sickening and he isn't aging well at all
This is evident in how she killed her mother. I almost feel like she didn’t do the attempt poisoning. I feel like she was going straight to the violent side due to the violent beating she gave her mother in the end. It shows the rage she had for her. Just an observation as a psych major ❤
I didn't know there was a name for it and will be looking more into this phenomenon. I am the youngest of 4 from a shocking household, yet I'm the only one who doesn't speak to either parent. Even though one was convicted of heinous crimes that they actually blame one of my siblings for and it has always baffled me.
I don’t mean to be insensitive but how “amazing” can your parents be if you have not visited them in 4 years? I am assuming they all live in the UK/England
Agreed. That's four years of birthdays, Christmases, holidays. No phone calls, no gift, no cards, no updates... nah something about this is super fishy!
I am side-eyeing siblings a bit too. So if there was no neglect going on and parents were fine (or even amazing, according to their statement), how come they didn't visit them in 4 years and did not notice their parents missing? Not once did they find time to check if they are alright when they were apparently unwell, did not ask about the trips they apparently took and just blindly believed the messages? Maybe I am too close to my parents and can't imagine not visiting them once in a while, but it just feels odd to me. Btw, I am aware that kids can go LC or NC with their parents and we have no idea what happened behind close doors, so I am asking these questions based on simply what we know. Siblings denied their Virginia's claims that parents were neglectful and bad and the grandchildren loved their grandparents and wanted to see them. They talked through messages and on the phone (which Virginia used after their deaths) so they were in contact. Based on what we know alone, it seems odd.
I have exactly the same thoughts. I know family can get busy and not contact each often as often, but FOUR YEARS 😮 What about their birthdays, Christmas?? The whole family seems very suspicious/strange
@@ririschannelxThat's victim blaming, and just not true. The parents were neurodivergent, it's likely the children were also. It was during COVID, the parents had mental health conditions, and we don't know how close the family was. As an autistic person who took COVID seriously, I didn't see some of my family for 3 years in person, and some I still haven't seen. This story seems absolutely possible to me, without the siblings being malicious.
@@ririschannelx I couldn't visit my dad before he died because I work over 80 hours a week most of the time and I'm exhausted or taking care of my children the rest of the time...I did message him since he didn't like phone calls but I definitely couldn't look after him or check in on him in person (he lived in Texas while I lived in Illinois)... My stepmom could've been the one texting me back for years and I'd never have known. He only called when something horrible happened like his cancer diagnosis or when family members died, so a phone call would've panicked me. I got about 10 missed calls the night he did die and I know that was what had to have happened but I sure wished it was his voice on the phone when I called back. I'm gonna stop typing now 😂 I made myself sad
I appreciate you reiterating that each family dynamic is different. I have absolutely no relationship with any of my siblings or parents and it's something that's always bothered me everyone assumes everyone has a close family they talk to and are friendly with
That’s true. But I’m sure you wouldn’t lie to police if they asked you if you were close to your family. That’s not what the sister did they said they were a close family. But hadn’t seen their parents or call or even if you know your parents are sick. I still would come over bring cold medicine and soup and leave !
Same here,, only I had close relationships with both my grandmother and my mother. Frankly, my sisters are toxic for me to deal with. I only speak to my younger brother.
Same. Well honestly I have no family, just an older brother. I live with my mum, we're just not family. My dad... Well his family might as well have never existed. Both my parents were from single child households so I've no aunties, cousins etc. On the plus side, Christmas is cheap and easy!
This story is so disturbing that it’s hard to believe. How could someone live with their parents' bodies for 4 years and act like nothing happened? The fact that she built a tomb and stayed in the same house makes this case beyond chilling. It's hard to wrap my head around how something like this could go on for so long without anyone noticing
This is beyond disturbing, but I also think it highlights serious issues around mental health. There’s no way someone could do this without being in a really dark place. It’s terrifying, but also deeply tragic
Honestly, I can’t even comprehend how someone could do this. The idea of living with her parents' bodies for so long is terrifying. But at the same time, this case raises so many questions about her mental state and why no one around her noticed something was wrong

I don’t know, I think I believe Virginia. No good parents get neglected for that long. I love my mom if I didn’t live with her I’d visit as often as I could, especially if I had kids.
@@rhiannon24677damn, I've never heard it phrased like that before... 'pure obligation' and that makes perfect sense! I've always said I'm more of an acquaintance than a daughter.
Whatever the truth might be, the siblings can’t discount Virginia’s version if they didn’t even notice their parents were gone. You can’t say Virginia’s parents cared about their grandchildren greatly if their children and grandchildren didn’t miss them for a minimum of 4 years.
I saw someone else say something similar but the fact that the other kids were light no contact (they didn't worry that they didn't see them or hear their voice for 4 years) it shows to me that there was probably something that may have actually happened between the parents and the kids as far as abuse. Physical or mental
@@Sapphire979 just texting for 4 years is not completely talking to your parents. I need to talk to my grandma more, I'll admit, but i text her every couple of days and call her every week. I could NEVER go 4 years without hearing from her. I talk to my mom every day on the phone. My older sister doesn't like people in her business but i text with her every couple of weeks and she calls me every couple months and i see her a free times a year. She calls my mom once a week and my mom sees her once or twice a month. If you don't live close enough to see someone that's one thing but no phone calls in 4 years is a red flag that something is up. At least 5 minutes on Christmas or Birthdays.
Absolutely ridiculous that someone could pretend to be your mother or father over the phone and you fall for it!!! Further shows that they had ZERO connection to their parents. If either one of my siblings pretended to be one of my parents, I'd know this immediately and it would have better been a joke or I'm calling the police as I make my way over. They had ZERO connection with their alleged "amazing' parents
@Sapphire979 which proves they didn't even know their own mother's voice. Even a dog knows its own human mother's voice. There's obviously some victim's compensation funds at stake in this matter compelling them to pretend that they were so connected and now so upset. I hope the authorities use basic common sense and don't fall for it. They went 4 years with no video chats, pretending that their sister is their mother and clearly not one in person visit with their adorable parents then common sense would tell a reasonable person that they could continue the rest of their lives doing the same.
THIS. I've been looking for this kind of comment. It's honestly sick how many people are defending and siding with a literal murderer. I'm truly disturbed by this comment section. She had tons of options besides murder. I might need to take a break from true crime after reading these comments. I don't want to believe that so many people have this sick mindset of defending cold blooded murder.
Right?! I understand there’s a correlation between murderers and traumatic pasts, but let’s not forget that millions of survivors go on to NOT murder… I’m an abuse survivor myself and not once have I thought that gave me permission to kill… it’s wild what people come up with. I can only assume it’s just their way of trying to soften the violence?
If the parents were uncaring and standoffish, it stands to reason the daughters would not have connections with them. Why would you? Emotional abuse, whether the siblings say it happened or not, is VERY hard to get over.
@@mrkos87 BS! 🙄 You keep focusing on the texts and calls but completely ignore the fact that they didnt see them IN PERSON for 4yrs! NO ONE goes that long without PHYSICALLY SEEING their kids/grandkids/parents!!! 🤦♀️. Not even a wellness check?!?! I can’t believe u would say something so idiotic 🙄
@@kayleigh3648 Wow, calm down. All I’m saying is that there was a connection. Even if it was only through messaging and calls, a connection existed. I completely understand and agree with your perspective, but I feel my point might have been overlooked.
And trying to make her the “evil” one not that murder is justified but I believed her from the start especially because my parents are also strict, but I still love them and live with them while my siblings don’t stay with us. I hope no child or parent has to go through that.
If my siblings and I didn’t hear from our 70 y/o mom for one day, we’d be knocking on her door. I don’t want to bash these sisters, because they’ve been through enough. I’ll just say I think it’s incredibly strange they weren’t alarmed after _four years_ of not seeing their parents. Especially since apparently they were well aware that Virginia was a lying mess. I feel like part of the story is missing here, and _maybe_ the only thing Virginia told the truth about was that her sisters and her did have a complicated childhood.
@everrgreen122 my dad died of covid in 2021 at 87 . I used to speak with him at least once a day every day for the last 40 years (after I left home) . It makes no sense why . Perhaps it's me however I understand us brits can be cold but not that much.
@@chrisdorrell1 I’m from The Netherlands, we’re also considered to be cold (and blunt), but four years is crazy no matter where you’re from. Again though, there’s clearly part of the story that is missing. I’m so sorry you lost your dad to covid, that is absolutely heartbreaking💔.
This entire story is truly baffling, and I feel there are many missing pieces in the family dynamics at play here. Firstly, I think it’s extraordinarily unlikely that all of these children had a perfectly happy childhood and apparently adored their parents, well also never once visiting in a four year period. I think it is highly likely that the “strict” upbringing that they had was actually abusive, hence why their children seemed uninterested in assisting with their ailing health.
100%! I hate how everyone who dies becomes a great person all the sudden 🙄. Just bc you are dead, doesn’t mean u were a great person when u were alive.. 😏
she was probably constantly on the edge because she doesn't know when she'll get caught. So when the police arrested her, she just confessed to everything. She probably felt relief.
They haven't seen their parents in 4 years without questioning anything. Kinda makes me think there was some truth about the abuse. That doesn't excuse their murder but makes someone wonder.
When older siblings disagree with how younger sibling was raised, I tend to ignore the older sibling opinions but that's mostly due to my own experience. Depending on the age differences, it would be more likely or less likely but with no real info on the siblings, you don't have reason to believe or disbelieve her, other than your own experiences and emotional bias. I wish there was more info released because upbringing has everything to do with why children kill their parents. I'm not saying it's ever their fault but understanding their childhood with those parents helps a lot.
It has nothing to do with whether the siblings are older or younger lmao. If u watch Danielle enough, you’ll know most of these abuse cases have a scapegoat child who gets singled out and abused while the others are treated normally. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in true crime and experienced it myself. Some parents treat all of their kids like angels except for one, and that one is always the one who gets blamed for everything, gets all the beatings, the torture, the verbal abuse/harassment, etc. It’s like the parent channels all of their anger and hatred against one child only… I dont understand it, but I’ve seen it and experienced it so I KNOW it happens…
@@kayleigh3648 Not surprisingly you’ve missed the point of the OP. Because you’re so concerned with being right! When the truth of the matter is there is no right or wrong when it comes to the siblings involved! How they feel is not for you to judge regardless of your little anecdotal opinion.. in fact that is what makes you biased to being with. Yes sometimes parents will abuse 1 of their children! Sometimes it’s the oldest, sometimes it’s the youngest, or the middle child, or sometimes it’s a couple! Sometimes it’s all of them. Anyone who watches or follows True Crime knows this! So you’ve said absolutely nothing ground breaking here! Your personal experience has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
Well you could always ask the children who lost their parents so coldly and cruelly what’s clearly not your business.. hence probably the reason for their privacy! Or you could always talk to Virginia! I’m sure she’d love the attention. You know the killer!
I don't think they'd miss their parents much. They were adults who were able to be fooled by someone pretending to be their parents over the phone I think that if the media and the public had not brought this story forward they would have had NO concerns about this matter. Seems that they are "victims ' now only because in the face of public involvement, this is what they must be
Well! you're really going to bat for people you don't know aren't you? Or are you one of the siblings who claimed their parents were so amazing but never bothered to visit them in 4 years? Aged parents? They should just be honest about their relationships with their parents so people will stop asking these questions @@Sapphire979
This is so eerie to hear about. Especially because it happened down the road from where I lived at the time and I have driven past the place so many times. I am glad you covered it because everything surrounding the case was so quiet when it happened!
You guys are so quick to blame the siblings for not visiting their parents, but aren’t asking WHY the siblings didn’t want to visit their parents. A lot of abuse victims, especially in familial situations, experience cognitive dissonance. They might love their parents, but hate them for what they did, and have no interest in actively being in their lives anymore. Even the Menendez brothers gave an emotional eulogy at their parents’ funeral. If 3 of 4 siblings don’t want to see their parents, and the other 1 is only seeing them for self-serving reasons, then maybe we can think critically and realize that the parents were clearly a problem. They didn’t deserve what they got, but let’s not victim blame the other children. They’ve been through enough.
This is case is extremely disturbing and, to be perfectly honest hard to digest. I believe that Virginia has attachment disorder (from child to parents /caregiver), which might be why she doesn’t have any emotions explaining what she did to her parents. But, I also think she may be autistic like her father, so social awkwardness is actually a sign of possible ASD in girls/women. Basically, cannot believe that there was not any abuse in the household because her siblings did not visited their parents in 4 years and never pushed back when they received excuse after excuse - Something like this doesn’t happen in a vacuum!
Danielle you should cover the case of Madam LaLaurie AKA Marie Delphine Macarty. She was a New Orleans socialite in the 1800’s and one of the first female serial killers in America who was believed to have tortured and murdered slaves in her household. It’s a really gruesome and interesting case that I very rarely seen covered. New Orleans always had a different way of treating enslaved people compared to most of the US and LaLaurie was seen to be generally "polite" to people of color in public but in her house it was a torture chamber. She was initially discovered when her house caught fire where they found a 70-year-old slave chained to the stove by her ankle. The slave had set the fire as a suicide attempt because she feared being punished, stating that slaves taken to the uppermost room "never came back". The house is still in NOLA and is supposedly very haunted. It’s absolute revolting what she did and I hope all who were affected by her are resting in peace.
I legit just finished a horror movie about that house! Very sad back story! Apparently she fancied a slave and when refused her advances she kidnapped and tortured the wife and child and him. So awful but yes I would love to hear that be covered!
I disagree that kids are sometimes estranged from their parents due to no fault of the parents. There typically is a reason that kids don’t want a relationship with their parents and it’s often due to something the parent has done.
Depends on who you ask. I know people who can be very warming and Nice to you, but if they don't like you or you don't follow their own idea of what a person should be like, they Turn into heartless monsters who Will abuse you or try to ruin your life
All through this video, my only words were ‘where’s the other kids?’ ‘Loved playing with their grandchildren’ How? When you clearly didn’t visit them! Thats the most confusing thing about this tragedy!
"She made us orphans" four years ago! You've been orphans for four years! All your kids lost their grandparents and you didn't know because none of you reached out! And the only reason they know now is because their gp got worried! Something is up here.
It’s just funny how the siblings pipe up now their parents are dead, where were they for the last 4 years? I’m not particularly close with my mum, but if I was not hear from her for a while then I would be going to her house to see what the hell is going on
@@Rebecca_Bailey and there was a pandemic during all this. You'd think checking in on your elderly parents who you are supposedly close with would be a priority!
Just made myself a hot cup of tea, kids have settled down in their beds, and yaaayyyy, Danielle to keep me company while I unwind, makes my Sunday complete ✨💜
38:00 she probably called the police so the police has documents that her mom contacted them at these exact dates to further keep up the illusion of them being alive. it's actually very smart of her (despite it being so horrible), it would mess with eventual investigation later
I thought this to begin with. Someone calls up and says they haven’t seen mum in a while, police check and “know” she was alive and well on that date so don’t bother investigating. X😊
She definitely wanted to get caught. I personally, would love to know the full back story to this case. There is sooo much more going on than we know about. It's okay the four other sisters saying everything she says is a lie, yet they are keeping their identities secret? Yes, she obviously has mental health problems, I had a shite childhood, but I wouldn't kill Jean (my birther), I just have nothing to do with her. I just think there is a lot more to this than we are being told. Edit to say - just my opinion...
I think she's showing clear signs of also being autistic(like her dad since it's genetic) at the very least and UnDX autism can lead to narcissistic traits in people who are abused by their parents and would explain why only she felt abused, if the other siblings are all neurotypical, they wouldn't have had the same needs as her. I'm also autistic and her arrest and telling them all that info, she knows what she did was wrong, and she knows she's caught. Might as well get it all sorted.
Danielle does such a great job of talking about true crime without romanticizing or promoting it like a fandom. Her empathy is unmatched, and she does such a great job of securing the honor and humility of each victim. She sets such a great example for the true crime community.
agreed. the only flaw i see in her content is her tendency to “suggest” theories about ppls thoughts or events. a perfect example is in this video when she says “i’m not saying Virginia was lying about her parents being abusive but her 4 other siblings say it isn’t true” the clear implication is that she IS saying Virginia was lying about abuse. and the siblings may deny it, but they sure didn’t care to visit their parents or even hear their voices for four years. i notice her say similar things in a lot of her videos and it just rubs me the wrong way
I was so hoping that you were going to do the case of Virginia McCullough, this was absolutely shocking, imagine murdering your own parents and then living with their bodies for 4 years, all for money, which was rightfully theirs, I can’t begin to imagine what her poor mother must’ve been going through at the time when her daughter was stabbing her, the lack of emotion really scared me to be honest, she’s not human.
The sisters’ statements were BS. If it were only 1 or 2 that hadn’t been in contact, ok, maybe but ALL FOUR hadn’t made an effort to visit or communicate more than a few isolated sentences. No way, there’s a heck of a lot more to that story.
How can the other sisters state that their parents were taken away too soon once they found out what happened? They hadn't seen them for four years !! They obviously didn't care about their welfare at all. Who on earth would not physically check up on their parents for that long?
Four sisters and none of them visited in four years... yeah.. they really cared about them. They should be ashamed. Whatever the family dynamics, dont tell people you adore your parents when you obviously dont. No sympathy for virginia but i imagine it suited these women very well to have their sister take care of her parents. At the least they should be checking on the carer sister to see if she needed help and support.
It's so chilling to see the house on Google Maps. In the pics of 2019 (and prior) some of the windows and curtains are open but in the 2021 pic the curtains are all closed and even one over the front door and in the one from 2024 the garage and front door are boarded up. Rest in peace John and Lois McCullough.
@@amethyst79 I’m guessing since it’s a duplex it’s up to the neighbor if he willingly moves out due to the uneasy feeling or is offered a lot of money in order to relocate so if he stays it will only get remodelled and if he moves both houses are getting demolished. I wonder what will happen.
@@Jotinkoit’s the end house in a row of 6 I think. However in the awful case of Fred and Rose West - that was also a house on the end and they knocked it down, leaving the other house intact.
@@amethyst79 I’m unfamiliar of the West house but John Wayne Gacy’s house in Chicago (1978) as well as the apartment building Jeffrey Dahmer lived at in Milwaukee (1992) were demolished. Gacy’s house got rebuilt but the Dahmer’s old apartment site remains empty.
I don’t appreciate the comments about how people act when they’re getting arrested because I actually find her behavior pretty good. I mean, she is coherent and cooperative so I think we should reward that type of behavior not punishing with lots of criticism. Obviously, she did not calculate the effects of killing and living with her parents dead bodies into her Idea of what it would do to her mental health. I mean come on. If she’s sneezed right in an officer space and didn’t even bother to cover her hands he’d be disgusted by that right? If she was carrying on and making up a bunch of lies, then that would just confuse things and make it harder. The fact that she is correcting the police officer is good. The information is being recorded accurately. The crime has already been committed and if she’s going to behave well then we need to see that as a positive and be very respectful of that. We want people in the same circumstances to behave the same way.
I've seen this person everywhere online and been hoping you'd cover it. for some reason I wasn't expecting a vid today so this was a fantastic surprise. Happy Sunday aka Danielle Day
I think the reason the mom received more brutal treatment because there might’ve been tension between the mom and Virginia. She already talked badly about her mom, and just said dad wasn’t affectionate.
I'd be very interested to know if there was an age gap between Virginia and her older sisters. Clearly the family dynamic is unusual, but I'm willing to bet there is truth to what Virginia was saying about the abuse. The fact that the older sisters claim to adore their parents and say they were great grandparents but hadn't noticed their absence in 4 years is really odd to me. Even in typical family dynamics, each sibling gets a different set of parents. It doesn't excuse her actions at all, but there's a lot more going on with that family.
I'd say certainly an age gap, possibly up to 20 years. The older sisters choosing to remain completely anonymous and yet some random statement claiming they were great parents but no contact for at least 4 years doesn't make sense. Also when did the other sisters last see their parents, perhaps it was many years ago. I wonder if the abuse was horrible but their coping strategy was to deny it ever happened and pretend all was happy families. We'll probably never find out as the siblings have chosen privacy but I suspect it would be very interesting.
The sisters can deny abuse all they want…but people not knowing/caring about their parents missing for four years are people who want nothing to do with said parents 💁🏼♀️
Omg I’ve been waiting for this one. My sister works at the nursery down the road and she said for weeks before they were found that she could smell something horrible. Turns out it was the parents. The day they were found the police come into the nursery and questioned all the staff in there (including my sister). The staff kept reporting the smell the the local council for weeks. No one listened to them until the police found them. 😢 RIP
Imagine living in the same house you killed your parents in, for four years. The amount of guilt she likely felt, she probably regretted everything, she was probably slowly going insane too, just knowing her parents were rotting in a tomb in the same house she was living with. I tried to imagine a scenerio where I'd be in the same situation, and I would be paranoid and delusional that everyone knew, people were going to get me, and even that my parents were haunting me/cursing me. She absolutely wanted to be caught, probably just to make it all stop for her own mental sanity.
Everyone in the comments are like me side-eyeing the fact that the siblings are saying there was no abuse, but yet they didn’t visit for 4 years. But I also want to add, it’s not uncommon for parents to direct all of their anger/abuse towards one child while never harming the other children.
A child called It made me aware of the fact that there are cases where parents abuse ONLY one child and not the others. I definitely think there was abuse in that house towards her only and the other kids witnessed it and followed suite. Which is why they all peg her as a liar. That’s a very common dynamic. That would also explain why they didn’t visit their parents often. Even if they weren’t personally abused they witnessed that abuse and it didn’t foster strong relationships throughout the family.
Don't know how. But been in s house once where a body was and smelled nothing. Think it might have been dried out. Could not go to the toilet. Later in the news learning that likely was where the body was at that moment. Also been at ome of those forensic decomposition research sites. Smell was horrible. Those people working there, they had gotten used to it.
I could believe this ladies story. Being the youngest child doesn't mean you're treated the best, it can mean that all of the bs that your parents have put up with can be taken out on you. I know, I'm the youngest and was probably treated the worst in many ways. However,I didn't steal or take out my parents, though I was somewhat happy when my father passed, it didn't really bother me much. I missed my mother when she passed, but still held all she done against her, still do. When you're the youngest and your siblings are gone, they don't know how it is for you. Thats absolutely the truth.
I watch a lot of true crime, and this story was one that particularly disturbed me. I cannot comprehend how she could have lived a 'normal' life with her parents dead in the wardrobe upstairs!! That is horror film stuff!
I was hoping someone was going to do this case after i watched a small clip of when she was so calm in telling the police where her parents bodies were etc. It got me intrigued. Complete madness just thinking about it. Now to watch, thanks Danielle ❤️🙂
@@ambersmith4342 thank you, is she UK based, I'll check her out. It's only just dawned on me that although im in the UK, Danielle is the only UK true crime TH-camr I'm subscribed to lol, the rest are from America lol
How can the sisters put out how devestated they are over their beloved parents and yet go 4 years without seeing them, i find that absurd, unless they lived in different states
She's so incredibly calm during the whole thing, like she had been expecting it to happen any time and was just ready and waiting to be caught. So nonchalant about the whole ordeal. It's creepy!! Her poor family
It beggars believe that these sisters who profess to care for the parents, didn't see them for over 4 years and then say they were devastated. So devastated that they never checked on their own parents or questioned thier sister or called the police???
I don't excuse her, but I think we don't really know what was happening there and what kind of parents they were. Why didn't the other sisters visit them for 4 years? That's concerning. I think we dont know everything.
Danielle, you are absolutely amazing. I have heard this story from a number of other creators and you have far more facts than the others did. Thank you for being so diligent in finding out all the facts of the case.
It sounds like both parents had various mental health issues which will of undoubtedly effected the children growing up. She actually did a scarily impressive job of keeping up the lies for 4 years with the false communication with both family, neighbours and authorities. It does make me question how accepting we are as a society to just mind our own business.
Her parents had that much money? Wow the house is not that nice for someone who has money. She definitely is a sick cookie. She is smart when she needs to be but yet not very smart. I just saw another video on this story but you went into much more detail. That’s why I like your videos Danielle. ❤❤
I've been watching your videos for years now and now sitting here watching you cover a case that literally happens 5mins from my home is crazy. It was such a shock to the community when it first came out and to this day the house is completely boarded up and breaks my heart when ever I have to drive past it. Thankyou for covering this case.
It’s been a ROUGH FEW… WELL, ROUGH FEW WEEKS, but, hey, I’m not a victim of true crime. Ironically, Ms. Danielle Kirsty cheers me up with her professional and sensitive delivery of well-researched content!! (Not trying to be insensitive guys, sorry I know it sounds horrible to be cheered up by true crime)
I believe two things can be true at the same time ,i believe the parents were abusive to their children because that explains why the other kids didn't care to emphasize on seeing their parents for the 4yrs ,i believe she was so calm coz she had already gone through all the stages of grief and already had gone through the paranoia of getting caught for the four years she lived there ,i first saw this clip of her arrest on tiktok and I'm so glad Danielle covered it in depth
I watched a video covering this case recently on another channel, but watching your video feels like watching a whole new case due to the level of detail you include. Appreciate your hard work and research behind these cases ❤
Danielle, with all due respect, you were obviously spoilt with having good, loving parents. I, on the other hand, who grew up with a narcissistic, controlling, and emotionally detached mother rather believe that the parents in this story were not your model parents, really. I am not buying your statement that the other siblings were disconnected from the parents through no fault of the latter. This is not how families work, and this is not how human relations in general work. Not defending the murder, just sick and tired of all this 'mommy can do no harm' nonsense.
@@micheallevy1634Thank you for understanding. And I am really disgusted by this assumption that in any conflict, tension, or disconnection between a parent and their grown child it is the child that's at fault.
I’m not sure about Danielle growing up with loving parents. As she has mentioned she was raised by her nan. So the parents may have not been as present or loving as you presume

Merge games help me relax.
It actually makes complete sense why she was acting so chill when the cops were there. 4 years of being paranoid, getting crazier and crazier, waiting for the police to bust down the door. When they finally did it was probably a relief
She's rehearsed it in her head so many times that nothing is shocking about it.
@@theyxaj yeah definitely that too
People who can’t handle it typically hand themselves in to the police.
@@SKRsoul
Yes. Reminded me of the story The Tell-Tale Heart: the murderer descends deeper into insanity & admits 2 the murder
Clearly a very sad lonely girl that got herself in a situation & did something so horrific. Obviously such a dysfunctional family if no one cared for 4 years 😪
I find it profoundly disturbing that the sisters, who adored their parents, hadn't even seen them in 4 years. FOUR YEARS. Bizarre.
I really doubt they really adored them.
Yeah, there's no way they adored their parents. I love my mom and I talk to her a lot.
I would be calling cops after a few months. I don't get this at all
Thats what I was thinking too. Do they even adore their parents like they said in their statements? It’s very weird. I talk to my parents every few days and even see them every so often. I’d never go years without seeing them.
Exactly. My parents just went on vacation for 6 days and as soon as they got home, I was over to visit within 15 minutes! I haven’t been over a week without visiting or FaceTiming when they’re long distance.
So apparently they loved spending time with their grandchildren, but their daughters didn't find it odd that they couldn't visit for 4 years?
Yep!
Love spending time with them doesn’t mean doing it often. Only saw my paternal grandmother once in my life for a few days. Twas long enough. Spoke rarely and she was a cold, cold woman, however I had decent conversations with her. I enjoy the time I had with her yet never wanted to see her again. Two things can be true at the same time. We shouldn’t judge on dynamics we are unaware of.
@@czexkei6644I agree partially, and see where you’re coming from….but to enjoy spending time with them implies something else here
I think that they relied on Virginia to take care of them. And you wouldn't think your sister would murder your parents and they propably just had their own lives. It is weird, but I get how it happens. Maybe each sister thought the other had seen them/talked to them.
She probably just used worried about covid as an excuse, lots of older people are still scared of it
Virginia is obviously a disturbed woman who needs to be locked away BUT I do believe her when it comes to her parents. The fact that they had 4 other daughters who didn’t bother looking into their mysterious behavior for FOUR years says a lot. They obviously weren’t close, for a reason. Their emotionally distant and abusive parenting probably made Virginia that cold. It’s awful and they were probably just a product of their own environment, but the fact that the siblings are trying to deny it is just ridiculous. If I don’t hear from my mom for a couple of days, I’m calling the cops.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think the fact that her siblings said oh she's a compulsive liar is covering up for the fact that they know she's right about them and they don't want to live with the guilt and/or shame.
I 100% agree with you if the doctor didn't get suspicious they still wouldn't know their parents are dead, they should just be honest
being cold towards your kids won’t make them murderers.
@@miabennett04 No one said that. What I said was that being cold and emotionally distant towards your kids can stunt their development to the point where they feel indifferent to others peoples suffering and emotions. Because they were never shown emotions or taught how to deal with their own. ASPD comes to mind.
@@stephaniesanders3636 That’s probably what it is. They probably feel guilty for not checking in on their parents and they want to believe the best of their parents and it’s easier to blame the one sibling than to accept the fact that their parents weren’t great.
The fact that the siblings deny abuse means nothing. This is actually something the majority of the children of those types of households will do.
The fact that NONE OF THEM contacted their parents in at least 4 years speaks more to the truth. The dry, no nonsense way in which Virginia tells the police what happened, makes me believe her even more.
Yep
Yep
I agree. Many adults deny anything was wrong with their childhood and even attack a sibling who speaks the truth.
@EllaGreenn also often there is one that is abused and the others are not. It's inexplicable but I agree there must have been more than they are saying going on.
I also think that because mom has OCD and agoraphobia and dad was on the spectrum, they really aren’t able to mantain relationships so it isn’t too shocking that they don’t come over to visit. Their parents just keep to themselves.
The other 4 siblings: our sister is lying, there was no abuse.
Also them: *not being in contact with their parents for 4 years*
Her siblings: we never got to say goodbye.
Ummm you never even said hello. Like geeze the grandkids never even knew them
The sisters let FOUR YEARS go by without seeing their parents? That's insane. I wonder what type of parents they were that not ONE child out of 5 were close enough to keep consistent contact with their parents.
Exactly. 1 I can understand but you had FIVE kids and none of them liked you enough to keep in contact. Come on.
My ex-husband’s sister won’t have anything to do with their parents … when we were married, I’d encourage him to call them, but it was like pulling teeth to get him to do so … he currently lives with them, but that’s the only reason he speaks to them, whenever he’s on his own, not needing them for food/ shelter, he avoids them. Mostly his mom., and after having lived by them for a while, I completely understand why my ex and his sister really don’t want to have anything to do with them … his mom is completely manipulative, and his dad goes along with whatever she does … so when there are multiple children refusing to have anything to do with their parents, or just don’t bother to check on them, I have to believe that there was something going on in the house when they were growing up …not that this justifies this woman’s behaviour, but I find it difficult to believe that her sisters adored their parents, or really care much at all, or that there wasn’t some abuse.
Honestly the emotional coldness could be enough. If there was physical abuse even more reason to go no contact. Maybe they were starting to build from no contact to texts and rare visits.
Well one’ one out of the other four u mean’. Because greedy Virginia sure did!!! Then say after they found out oh we adored them. They loved to visit their grandchildren just not for years
@@conniccomahh an opportunist. Did u ever work out if it was him or them? I’m assuming HIM, the ex gives it away, and the whole ‘ when he doesn’t need them and on his own thing.
“Cheer up - at least you got the bad guy.” The way that sent a chill down my entire spine! 😱😱😱
what
My jaw dropped 😮
Right. I felt the same way. Chilling to say the least.
@@jessiemontoya1895 “girl we didn’t want there to be a bad guy…”
Idk how the officers held back from saying that!!
Yes!
How did she keep the smell of their bodies under control? It’s crazy how years went by and the neighbors couldn’t smell? What a strange case.
11 things of plastic wrap lol. I’d believe that would definitely contain that smell for awhile. God damn. It’s kinda crazy that she was so confident in gorilla tape and plastic wrap… almost commercial levels tbh.
Probably the cement blocks? Anything in the air can’t seep through those things. Although idk the exact details as to how these tombs were designed, but it sounds like they were all tightly glued together.
I had a lovely neighbor once, who had his mother over. I was so shocked how mean they were, they seemed to hate her. Then they told me that the mother had tortured him and his siblings their entire childhoods. This taught me not to judge too quickly
Hmmm I was abused and neglected by my mother, but she was only mildly abusive to my brothers. It can definitely happen to either 1 or just some of the children.
In fact there is usually a golden child, often used to intensify the other child's feelings of abandonment. In many cases where a child dies from abuse or neglect the others were treated well.
Three of Fritzl's children with his own daughter lived underground and had never seen daylight. One had been incinerated at birth. Three lived in luxury and had piano lessons. It's actually very common. Jarrod Tutko. Jordan Burling. Quintin Simon. Timothy Ferguson. Often the special needs kid is the target.
I was neglected by my mother as an infant, she then flitted in and out of my life and then fully abandoned me when I was 16, she also did that to my older half brother, but our two younger half siblings are the light of her life. I had her on my Facebook for a little bit. She never once spoke to me on there, but I got to see her constant posts about my brothers and all their achievements. It was so hurtful to see that because I felt like I'd done something to deserve her abandoning me as a child. When I got really sick last year, I was documenting it on my Facebook as a way to process everything, she never reached out. Yet again, a kick in teeth with her fulling knowing I was going through testing for MS, brain tumours, parkisons, aneurysms, rare kinds of epilepsy. I removed her from my socials it was the best decision I could have made. I have no desire to have a relationship with her, and I feel good in my heart about that choice, I just feel like I was robbed of a relationship with my siblings, though. It's sad.
My elderly neighbour told me about her mother. She said her mum never wanted her, and dealt out a lot of abuse (to the point her father was afraid she'd one day kill her). Yet, the mother absolutely adored her other daughter, my neighbour's sister, and doted on her! The two girls were raised in polar opposite ways.
Reminds me of the book I child called it. Literally only one child was abused horribly and the others were not. It happens often where one child is singled out for abuse and isolated. I feel like it’s to make that child less credible if they ever speak up.
people heard the mom screaming social services were involved but when virginia says that her mum was violent we have to take everything with a pinch of salt?
W
Yeah. Same thought. And the fact the other siblings didn't visit over four yrs and just believed the text and whatnot, says a lot. And the difference between how the dad was killed and entombed and the mom,,says a lot.
🎯🏆
Exactly
Yeah, something doesn't compute
If she'd spent four years getting progressively more paranoid, a part of her was probably relieved to be caught. That's why she's so calm
It’s incredibly common for only one child in a family to tell the truth about abusive family dynamics. Because there is a lot to lose and very little to gain, children rarely tell. There is actually a name for the child willing to speak- the whistleblower. I honestly believe this happened to all the children but they probably have their reasons for not speaking up. Also, her parents were abusive and didn’t care what happened to her so why would she take care of her parents? I sure as hell wouldn’t. Murder is NEVER okay, and this woman did some terrible things, but it sounds like both parties were wrong in this situation. If you can’t be a good parent, don’t have kids. If you had bad parents, don’t live with your parents as an adult!
Exactly! I couldn't say it any better.
Wow! My husband was one of five..one says he was abused the rest live in denial, I think it's pride..it's really sickening and he isn't aging well at all
Yes, definitely my family.
This is evident in how she killed her mother. I almost feel like she didn’t do the attempt poisoning. I feel like she was going straight to the violent side due to the violent beating she gave her mother in the end. It shows the rage she had for her. Just an observation as a psych major ❤
I didn't know there was a name for it and will be looking more into this phenomenon. I am the youngest of 4 from a shocking household, yet I'm the only one who doesn't speak to either parent. Even though one was convicted of heinous crimes that they actually blame one of my siblings for and it has always baffled me.
I don’t mean to be insensitive but how “amazing” can your parents be if you have not visited them in 4 years? I am assuming they all live in the UK/England
And it wasn’t even the sisters that reported them missing, it’s was their doctor!
Agree 100%.
Not only did they not see them, but didn’t actually talk to them. Only got txt messages!!!
Agreed. That's four years of birthdays, Christmases, holidays. No phone calls, no gift, no cards, no updates... nah something about this is super fishy!
@@ShariVoffs Danielle said Virginia actively pretended to be the mother, including phone calls.
It seems Virginia might have been telling the truth about abuse in their childhood, why did the other siblings have zero contact with their parents?

Siblings... our parents were amazing!
Also siblings... barely have relationship with said parents and don't notice them missing for 4 years. 🤔🤔🤔
Yep it's not making sense is it?
Exactly!
It's easier to say nice things about the dead, especially when they were people you loved.
I think it is just they didn’t want to give their parents a bad name. Which I cannot blame them for doing that personally.
@@AlexandraBolz I agree with that.
I am side-eyeing siblings a bit too. So if there was no neglect going on and parents were fine (or even amazing, according to their statement), how come they didn't visit them in 4 years and did not notice their parents missing? Not once did they find time to check if they are alright when they were apparently unwell, did not ask about the trips they apparently took and just blindly believed the messages? Maybe I am too close to my parents and can't imagine not visiting them once in a while, but it just feels odd to me.
Btw, I am aware that kids can go LC or NC with their parents and we have no idea what happened behind close doors, so I am asking these questions based on simply what we know. Siblings denied their Virginia's claims that parents were neglectful and bad and the grandchildren loved their grandparents and wanted to see them. They talked through messages and on the phone (which Virginia used after their deaths) so they were in contact. Based on what we know alone, it seems odd.
I have exactly the same thoughts. I know family can get busy and not contact each often as often, but FOUR YEARS 😮 What about their birthdays, Christmas?? The whole family seems very suspicious/strange
Says a lot about the kind of parents they were. Loved parents are always visited and looked after.
@@ririschannelxThat's victim blaming, and just not true. The parents were neurodivergent, it's likely the children were also. It was during COVID, the parents had mental health conditions, and we don't know how close the family was. As an autistic person who took COVID seriously, I didn't see some of my family for 3 years in person, and some I still haven't seen. This story seems absolutely possible to me, without the siblings being malicious.
My thoughts entirely.
@@ririschannelx I couldn't visit my dad before he died because I work over 80 hours a week most of the time and I'm exhausted or taking care of my children the rest of the time...I did message him since he didn't like phone calls but I definitely couldn't look after him or check in on him in person (he lived in Texas while I lived in Illinois)... My stepmom could've been the one texting me back for years and I'd never have known. He only called when something horrible happened like his cancer diagnosis or when family members died, so a phone call would've panicked me. I got about 10 missed calls the night he did die and I know that was what had to have happened but I sure wished it was his voice on the phone when I called back. I'm gonna stop typing now 😂 I made myself sad
I appreciate you reiterating that each family dynamic is different. I have absolutely no relationship with any of my siblings or parents and it's something that's always bothered me everyone assumes everyone has a close family they talk to and are friendly with
Snap! I'm exactly the same!
I am in the situation. I have no relationship with my mum or sister
That’s true. But I’m sure you wouldn’t lie to police if they asked you if you were close to your family. That’s not what the sister did they said they were a close family. But hadn’t seen their parents or call or even if you know your parents are sick. I still would come over bring cold medicine and soup and leave !
Same here,, only I had close relationships with both my grandmother and my mother. Frankly, my sisters are toxic for me to deal with. I only speak to my younger brother.
Same. Well honestly I have no family, just an older brother. I live with my mum, we're just not family.
My dad... Well his family might as well have never existed.
Both my parents were from single child households so I've no aunties, cousins etc.
On the plus side, Christmas is cheap and easy!
This story is so disturbing that it’s hard to believe. How could someone live with their parents' bodies for 4 years and act like nothing happened? The fact that she built a tomb and stayed in the same house makes this case beyond chilling. It's hard to wrap my head around how something like this could go on for so long without anyone noticing
This is beyond disturbing, but I also think it highlights serious issues around mental health. There’s no way someone could do this without being in a really dark place. It’s terrifying, but also deeply tragic
Honestly, I can’t even comprehend how someone could do this. The idea of living with her parents' bodies for so long is terrifying. But at the same time, this case raises so many questions about her mental state and why no one around her noticed something was wrong

@@rhiannon24677damn, I've never heard it phrased like that before... 'pure obligation' and that makes perfect sense!
I've always said I'm more of an acquaintance than a daughter.
Whatever the truth might be, the siblings can’t discount Virginia’s version if they didn’t even notice their parents were gone. You can’t say Virginia’s parents cared about their grandchildren greatly if their children and grandchildren didn’t miss them for a minimum of 4 years.
Exactly 💯
I saw someone else say something similar but the fact that the other kids were light no contact (they didn't worry that they didn't see them or hear their voice for 4 years) it shows to me that there was probably something that may have actually happened between the parents and the kids as far as abuse. Physical or mental
They did talk with them! Or so they believed. It was Virginia pretending to be them. I love how others are so quick to judge..
@@Sapphire979 just texting for 4 years is not completely talking to your parents. I need to talk to my grandma more, I'll admit, but i text her every couple of days and call her every week.

My older sister doesn't like people in her business but i text with her every couple of weeks and she calls me every couple months and i see her a free times a year. She calls my mom once a week and my mom sees her once or twice a month.
If you don't live close enough to see someone that's one thing but no phone calls in 4 years is a red flag that something is up. At least 5 minutes on Christmas or Birthdays.
@@bec7080
Virginia did call pretending to be her mother.
Absolutely ridiculous that someone could pretend to be your mother or father over the phone and you fall for it!!!
Further shows that they had ZERO connection to their parents.
If either one of my siblings pretended to be one of my parents, I'd know this immediately and it would have better been a joke or I'm calling the police as I make my way over.
They had ZERO connection with their alleged "amazing' parents
@Sapphire979 which proves they didn't even know their own mother's voice. Even a dog knows its own human mother's voice. There's obviously some victim's compensation funds at stake in this matter compelling them to pretend that they were so connected and now so upset. I hope the authorities use basic common sense and don't fall for it. They went 4 years with no video chats, pretending that their sister is their mother and clearly not one in person visit with their adorable parents then common sense would tell a reasonable person that they could continue the rest of their lives doing the same.
Whether the parents were abusive or not, no one deserves to be murdered and entombed in their home by their own daughter. This is horrific.
If they were abusive, they should not have made the monster.
THIS. I've been looking for this kind of comment. It's honestly sick how many people are defending and siding with a literal murderer. I'm truly disturbed by this comment section. She had tons of options besides murder. I might need to take a break from true crime after reading these comments. I don't want to believe that so many people have this sick mindset of defending cold blooded murder.
Right?! I understand there’s a correlation between murderers and traumatic pasts, but let’s not forget that millions of survivors go on to NOT murder… I’m an abuse survivor myself and not once have I thought that gave me permission to kill… it’s wild what people come up with. I can only assume it’s just their way of trying to soften the violence?
Um, some people do😂
If the parents were uncaring and standoffish, it stands to reason the daughters would not have connections with them. Why would you? Emotional abuse, whether the siblings say it happened or not, is VERY hard to get over.
But there was a connection, they called and messaged each other and the parents loved the grandchildren.

The background about their parenting shows why the other siblings didn’t notice. They “escaped” from the parents.
And trying to make her the “evil” one not that murder is justified but I believed her from the start especially because my parents are also strict, but I still love them and live with them while my siblings don’t stay with us. I hope no child or parent has to go through that.
I think there was something the parents did that caused a rift between them and the children which explains why the siblings weren’t around
I agree, they obviously were shitty parents if four of their kids didn't notice they weren't around for four years. They were probably all no contact.
They both have evil eyes.
@@Lucy-ym8chSo glad you said this! The mum looks evil in both photos and the dad looks evil in the second- that smile!
If my siblings and I didn’t hear from our 70 y/o mom for one day, we’d be knocking on her door. I don’t want to bash these sisters, because they’ve been through enough. I’ll just say I think it’s incredibly strange they weren’t alarmed after _four years_ of not seeing their parents. Especially since apparently they were well aware that Virginia was a lying mess. I feel like part of the story is missing here, and _maybe_ the only thing Virginia told the truth about was that her sisters and her did have a complicated childhood.
@everrgreen122 my dad died of covid in 2021 at 87 . I used to speak with him at least once a day every day for the last 40 years (after I left home) . It makes no sense why . Perhaps it's me however I understand us brits can be cold but not that much.
@@chrisdorrell1 I’m from The Netherlands, we’re also considered to be cold (and blunt), but four years is crazy no matter where you’re from. Again though, there’s clearly part of the story that is missing. I’m so sorry you lost your dad to covid, that is absolutely heartbreaking💔.
@everrgreen122 thank you a lot and it means a lot too 🫂
This entire story is truly baffling, and I feel there are many missing pieces in the family dynamics at play here. Firstly, I think it’s extraordinarily unlikely that all of these children had a perfectly happy childhood and apparently adored their parents, well also never once visiting in a four year period. I think it is highly likely that the “strict” upbringing that they had was actually abusive, hence why their children seemed uninterested in assisting with their ailing health.
100%! I hate how everyone who dies becomes a great person all the sudden 🙄. Just bc you are dead, doesn’t mean u were a great person when u were alive.. 😏
she was probably constantly on the edge because she doesn't know when she'll get caught. So when the police arrested her, she just confessed to everything. She probably felt relief.
They haven't seen their parents in 4 years without questioning anything. Kinda makes me think there was some truth about the abuse. That doesn't excuse their murder but makes someone wonder.
When older siblings disagree with how younger sibling was raised, I tend to ignore the older sibling opinions but that's mostly due to my own experience. Depending on the age differences, it would be more likely or less likely but with no real info on the siblings, you don't have reason to believe or disbelieve her, other than your own experiences and emotional bias. I wish there was more info released because upbringing has everything to do with why children kill their parents. I'm not saying it's ever their fault but understanding their childhood with those parents helps a lot.
Wow! You are literally the only other person that I’ve seen look at this case with common sense & honesty.
It has nothing to do with whether the siblings are older or younger lmao. If u watch Danielle enough, you’ll know most of these abuse cases have a scapegoat child who gets singled out and abused while the others are treated normally. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in true crime and experienced it myself. Some parents treat all of their kids like angels except for one, and that one is always the one who gets blamed for everything, gets all the beatings, the torture, the verbal abuse/harassment, etc. It’s like the parent channels all of their anger and hatred against one child only… I dont understand it, but I’ve seen it and experienced it so I KNOW it happens…
@@kayleigh3648
Not surprisingly you’ve missed the point of the OP. Because you’re so concerned with being right! When the truth of the matter is there is no right or wrong when it comes to the siblings involved! How they feel is not for you to judge regardless of your little anecdotal opinion.. in fact that is what makes you biased to being with.
Yes sometimes parents will abuse 1 of their children! Sometimes it’s the oldest, sometimes it’s the youngest, or the middle child, or sometimes it’s a couple! Sometimes it’s all of them.
Anyone who watches or follows True Crime knows this! So you’ve said absolutely nothing ground breaking here! Your personal experience has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
I worked in the hairdressers next to her house, I gave a police statement about this case last year when they found their bodies
I really like the little bodycam preview in the beginning, great video, thank you Danielle!
If they were so amazing, why didn't they see them for 4 years?
Well you could always ask the children who lost their parents so coldly and cruelly what’s clearly not your business.. hence probably the reason for their privacy! Or you could always talk to Virginia! I’m sure she’d love the attention.
You know the killer!
I don't think they'd miss their parents much. They were adults who were able to be fooled by someone pretending to be their parents over the phone
I think that if the media and the public had not brought this story forward they would have had NO concerns about this matter.
Seems that they are "victims ' now only because in the face of public involvement, this is what they must be
Well! you're really going to bat for people you don't know aren't you? Or are you one of the siblings who claimed their parents were so amazing but never bothered to visit them in 4 years? Aged parents? They should just be honest about their relationships with their parents so people will stop asking these questions @@Sapphire979
This is so eerie to hear about. Especially because it happened down the road from where I lived at the time and I have driven past the place so many times. I am glad you covered it because everything surrounding the case was so quiet when it happened!
You guys are so quick to blame the siblings for not visiting their parents, but aren’t asking WHY the siblings didn’t want to visit their parents. A lot of abuse victims, especially in familial situations, experience cognitive dissonance. They might love their parents, but hate them for what they did, and have no interest in actively being in their lives anymore. Even the Menendez brothers gave an emotional eulogy at their parents’ funeral. If 3 of 4 siblings don’t want to see their parents, and the other 1 is only seeing them for self-serving reasons, then maybe we can think critically and realize that the parents were clearly a problem.
They didn’t deserve what they got, but let’s not victim blame the other children. They’ve been through enough.
I would never go 4 years without seeing my parents. Something doesn't sound right.
This is case is extremely disturbing and, to be perfectly honest hard to digest. I believe that Virginia has attachment disorder (from child to parents /caregiver), which might be why she doesn’t have any emotions explaining what she did to her parents. But, I also think she may be autistic like her father, so social awkwardness is actually a sign of possible ASD in girls/women. Basically, cannot believe that there was not any abuse in the household because her siblings did not visited their parents in 4 years and never pushed back when they received excuse after excuse - Something like this doesn’t happen in a vacuum!
I also commented I think she has ASD, I also am autistic and her calmness just read 100% as a high masking un dx Afab person.
It was confirmed she is indeed on the spectrum, got diagnosed after her arrest though
I LOVE Sundays with Danielle! Thank you darling, you brighten my day ❤
Danielle you should cover the case of Madam LaLaurie AKA Marie Delphine Macarty. She was a New Orleans socialite in the 1800’s and one of the first female serial killers in America who was believed to have tortured and murdered slaves in her household. It’s a really gruesome and interesting case that I very rarely seen covered. New Orleans always had a different way of treating enslaved people compared to most of the US and LaLaurie was seen to be generally "polite" to people of color in public but in her house it was a torture chamber. She was initially discovered when her house caught fire where they found a 70-year-old slave chained to the stove by her ankle. The slave had set the fire as a suicide attempt because she feared being punished, stating that slaves taken to the uppermost room "never came back". The house is still in NOLA and is supposedly very haunted.
It’s absolute revolting what she did and I hope all who were affected by her are resting in peace.
I legit just finished a horror movie about that house! Very sad back story! Apparently she fancied a slave and when refused her advances she kidnapped and tortured the wife and child and him. So awful but yes I would love to hear that be covered!
That's crazy that house is still standing.
I disagree that kids are sometimes estranged from their parents due to no fault of the parents. There typically is a reason that kids don’t want a relationship with their parents and it’s often due to something the parent has done.
@ that’s why I used the word typically and not always. Maybe you overlooked that small but important detail.
How can she be a kind and caring and thoughtful mother, when it was already said she was cold and old fashioned
Depends on who you ask. I know people who can be very warming and Nice to you, but if they don't like you or you don't follow their own idea of what a person should be like, they Turn into heartless monsters who Will abuse you or try to ruin your life
All through this video, my only words were ‘where’s the other kids?’
‘Loved playing with their grandchildren’ How? When you clearly didn’t visit them! Thats the most confusing thing about this tragedy!
The fact that none of the 3 siblings were involved in their parents lives means it wasn't as rosy as they made it seem either.
I have 4 adult sons and i guarantee you,i wouldn't go missing for 2 days in a row❤after this - I apreciate them more,if that's even possible
"She made us orphans" four years ago! You've been orphans for four years! All your kids lost their grandparents and you didn't know because none of you reached out! And the only reason they know now is because their gp got worried!
Something is up here.
It’s just funny how the siblings pipe up now their parents are dead, where were they for the last 4 years? I’m not particularly close with my mum, but if I was not hear from her for a while then I would be going to her house to see what the hell is going on
@@Rebecca_Bailey and there was a pandemic during all this. You'd think checking in on your elderly parents who you are supposedly close with would be a priority!
Just made myself a hot cup of tea, kids have settled down in their beds, and yaaayyyy, Danielle to keep me company while I unwind, makes my Sunday complete ✨💜
38:00 she probably called the police so the police has documents that her mom contacted them at these exact dates to further keep up the illusion of them being alive. it's actually very smart of her (despite it being so horrible), it would mess with eventual investigation later
I thought this to begin with. Someone calls up and says they haven’t seen mum in a while, police check and “know” she was alive and well on that date so don’t bother investigating. X😊
She definitely wanted to get caught. I personally, would love to know the full back story to this case. There is sooo much more going on than we know about. It's okay the four other sisters saying everything she says is a lie, yet they are keeping their identities secret?
Yes, she obviously has mental health problems, I had a shite childhood, but I wouldn't kill Jean (my birther), I just have nothing to do with her. I just think there is a lot more to this than we are being told.
Edit to say - just my opinion...
I think she's showing clear signs of also being autistic(like her dad since it's genetic) at the very least and UnDX autism can lead to narcissistic traits in people who are abused by their parents and would explain why only she felt abused, if the other siblings are all neurotypical, they wouldn't have had the same needs as her.
I'm also autistic and her arrest and telling them all that info, she knows what she did was wrong, and she knows she's caught. Might as well get it all sorted.
@@JaydenSparksI watched another video about this case and in the video it states she is autistic.
Danielle does such a great job of talking about true crime without romanticizing or promoting it like a fandom. Her empathy is unmatched, and she does such a great job of securing the honor and humility of each victim. She sets such a great example for the true crime community.
agreed. the only flaw i see in her content is her tendency to “suggest” theories about ppls thoughts or events. a perfect example is in this video when she says “i’m not saying Virginia was lying about her parents being abusive but her 4 other siblings say it isn’t true” the clear implication is that she IS saying Virginia was lying about abuse. and the siblings may deny it, but they sure didn’t care to visit their parents or even hear their voices for four years. i notice her say similar things in a lot of her videos and it just rubs me the wrong way
@@marvelineousIt’s only a thought because their parents are dead and can’t defend themselves.
@@marvelineousso many children get abused, u dont see them killing their parents for it.. its not right
I still don’t understand how 4 years went by and 4 of their children didn’t go see their parents
Because Virginia is telling the truth about the abuse
Hmm 😒 deny abuse yet never see their parents.
Nope.
I was so hoping that you were going to do the case of Virginia McCullough, this was absolutely shocking, imagine murdering your own parents and then living with their bodies for 4 years, all for money, which was rightfully theirs, I can’t begin to imagine what her poor mother must’ve been going through at the time when her daughter was stabbing her, the lack of emotion really scared me to be honest, she’s not human.
she IS human, that's the scariest part.
@@iametoe nah sorry but emotion wise she’s not human, living with corpses for FOUR years is sickening beyond belief
If they were abusive, I see why she would have no emotion. Starts at a young age with abandonment.
The sisters’ statements were BS. If it were only 1 or 2 that hadn’t been in contact, ok, maybe but ALL FOUR hadn’t made an effort to visit or communicate more than a few isolated sentences. No way, there’s a heck of a lot more to that story.
How can the other sisters state that their parents were taken away too soon once they found out what happened? They hadn't seen them for four years !! They obviously didn't care about their welfare at all. Who on earth would not physically check up on their parents for that long?
Four sisters and none of them visited in four years... yeah.. they really cared about them. They should be ashamed. Whatever the family dynamics, dont tell people you adore your parents when you obviously dont. No sympathy for virginia but i imagine it suited these women very well to have their sister take care of her parents.
At the least they should be checking on the carer sister to see if she needed help and support.
It's so chilling to see the house on Google Maps. In the pics of 2019 (and prior) some of the windows and curtains are open but in the 2021 pic the curtains are all closed and even one over the front door and in the one from 2024 the garage and front door are boarded up. Rest in peace John and Lois McCullough.
Yeah it’s not far from me, about a 5 min drive - I do wonder what they will do with the house now.
@@amethyst79 I’m guessing since it’s a duplex it’s up to the neighbor if he willingly moves out due to the uneasy feeling or is offered a lot of money in order to relocate so if he stays it will only get remodelled and if he moves both houses are getting demolished. I wonder what will happen.
@@Jotinkoit’s the end house in a row of 6 I think. However in the awful case of Fred and Rose West - that was also a house on the end and they knocked it down, leaving the other house intact.
@@amethyst79 I’m unfamiliar of the West house but John Wayne Gacy’s house in Chicago (1978) as well as the apartment building Jeffrey Dahmer lived at in Milwaukee (1992) were demolished. Gacy’s house got rebuilt but the Dahmer’s old apartment site remains empty.
I don’t appreciate the comments about how people act when they’re getting arrested because I actually find her behavior pretty good. I mean, she is coherent and cooperative so I think we should reward that type of behavior not punishing with lots of criticism. Obviously, she did not calculate the effects of killing and living with her parents dead bodies into her Idea of what it would do to her mental health. I mean come on. If she’s sneezed right in an officer space and didn’t even bother to cover her hands he’d be disgusted by that right? If she was carrying on and making up a bunch of lies, then that would just confuse things and make it harder. The fact that she is correcting the police officer is good. The information is being recorded accurately. The crime has already been committed and if she’s going to behave well then we need to see that as a positive and be very respectful of that. We want people in the same circumstances to behave the same way.
Exactly. It’s not ‘word vomit’ as it’s described. It’s accurate information.
I've seen this person everywhere online and been hoping you'd cover it. for some reason I wasn't expecting a vid today so this was a fantastic surprise. Happy Sunday aka Danielle Day
I think the reason the mom received more brutal treatment because there might’ve been tension between the mom and Virginia. She already talked badly about her mom, and just said dad wasn’t affectionate.
I'd be very interested to know if there was an age gap between Virginia and her older sisters. Clearly the family dynamic is unusual, but I'm willing to bet there is truth to what Virginia was saying about the abuse. The fact that the older sisters claim to adore their parents and say they were great grandparents but hadn't noticed their absence in 4 years is really odd to me. Even in typical family dynamics, each sibling gets a different set of parents. It doesn't excuse her actions at all, but there's a lot more going on with that family.
I'd say certainly an age gap, possibly up to 20 years. The older sisters choosing to remain completely anonymous and yet some random statement claiming they were great parents but no contact for at least 4 years doesn't make sense. Also when did the other sisters last see their parents, perhaps it was many years ago.
I wonder if the abuse was horrible but their coping strategy was to deny it ever happened and pretend all was happy families.
We'll probably never find out as the siblings have chosen privacy but I suspect it would be very interesting.
The sisters can deny abuse all they want…but people not knowing/caring about their parents missing for four years are people who want nothing to do with said parents 💁🏼♀️
Omg I’ve been waiting for this one. My sister works at the nursery down the road and she said for weeks before they were found that she could smell something horrible. Turns out it was the parents. The day they were found the police come into the nursery and questioned all the staff in there (including my sister). The staff kept reporting the smell the the local council for weeks. No one listened to them until the police found them. 😢 RIP
Imagine living in the same house you killed your parents in, for four years. The amount of guilt she likely felt, she probably regretted everything, she was probably slowly going insane too, just knowing her parents were rotting in a tomb in the same house she was living with. I tried to imagine a scenerio where I'd be in the same situation, and I would be paranoid and delusional that everyone knew, people were going to get me, and even that my parents were haunting me/cursing me.
She absolutely wanted to be caught, probably just to make it all stop for her own mental sanity.
What the hell?? "Cheer up. At least you got the bad guy."
Everyone in the comments are like me side-eyeing the fact that the siblings are saying there was no abuse, but yet they didn’t visit for 4 years.
But I also want to add, it’s not uncommon for parents to direct all of their anger/abuse towards one child while never harming the other children.
Yay Danielle! Wow what a title! I love Sundays with you!! I’ve heard this story and it’s chilling!!
How did 4 siblings not notice?! I don’t even go 4 days without seeing or speaking to my mum!
She seemed desperate to be free of it. Not remorseful, but desperate.
A child called It made me aware of the fact that there are cases where parents abuse ONLY one child and not the others. I definitely think there was abuse in that house towards her only and the other kids witnessed it and followed suite. Which is why they all peg her as a liar. That’s a very common dynamic. That would also explain why they didn’t visit their parents often. Even if they weren’t personally abused they witnessed that abuse and it didn’t foster strong relationships throughout the family.
Holy shit WHAT?? Live with BODIES??
Yep she did, it’s sickening to think
@@Rebecca_BaileyI can’t believe it how was she able to handle the smell 😟
Idk how the neighbors didn't smell it.
Yeah, how were there not flies everywhere??? 🤢🤢🤢
Don't know how. But been in s house once where a body was and smelled nothing. Think it might have been dried out. Could not go to the toilet. Later in the news learning that likely was where the body was at that moment. Also been at ome of those forensic decomposition research sites. Smell was horrible. Those people working there, they had gotten used to it.
I could believe this ladies story. Being the youngest child doesn't mean you're treated the best, it can mean that all of the bs that your parents have put up with can be taken out on you. I know, I'm the youngest and was probably treated the worst in many ways. However,I didn't steal or take out my parents, though I was somewhat happy when my father passed, it didn't really bother me much. I missed my mother when she passed, but still held all she done against her, still do. When you're the youngest and your siblings are gone, they don't know how it is for you. Thats absolutely the truth.
I’ve been waiting for this one!! I live down the road and see the boarded up house on my way to work. Just a vile horrific woman😢
Yeah I go to the post office at the Vineyards quite a bit, and it makes you think that you might have been near her at some point and never knew.
If I didn't hear from my mom for like a week I'd be banging on her window and calling police 😂 I see her almost every day
I seen some of this woman and it’s so disturbing. Thank you for telling the story.
I watch a lot of true crime, and this story was one that particularly disturbed me. I cannot comprehend how she could have lived a 'normal' life with her parents dead in the wardrobe upstairs!! That is horror film stuff!
I was hoping someone was going to do this case after i watched a small clip of when she was so calm in telling the police where her parents bodies were etc. It got me intrigued. Complete madness just thinking about it. Now to watch, thanks Danielle ❤️🙂

How can the sisters put out how devestated they are over their beloved parents and yet go 4 years without seeing them, i find that absurd, unless they lived in different states
Your little Halloween ghost decorations in the background are so cute!
Nah, the siblings neglected their parents too. No sympathy for them.
She's so incredibly calm during the whole thing, like she had been expecting it to happen any time and was just ready and waiting to be caught.
So nonchalant about the whole ordeal.
It's creepy!!
Her poor family
😊
It beggars believe that these sisters who profess to care for the parents, didn't see them for over 4 years and then say they were devastated. So devastated that they never checked on their own parents or questioned thier sister or called the police???
I don't excuse her, but I think we don't really know what was happening there and what kind of parents they were. Why didn't the other sisters visit them for 4 years? That's concerning. I think we dont know everything.
Danielle, you are absolutely amazing. I have heard this story from a number of other creators and you have far more facts than the others did. Thank you for being so diligent in finding out all the facts of the case.
No one in the family saw them for 4 years, but didn't think there was anything strange going on, great kids 😮😮😮
It sounds like both parents had various mental health issues which will of undoubtedly effected the children growing up. She actually did a scarily impressive job of keeping up the lies for 4 years with the false communication with both family, neighbours and authorities. It does make me question how accepting we are as a society to just mind our own business.
Her parents had that much money? Wow the house is not that nice for someone who has money. She definitely is a sick cookie. She is smart when she needs to be but yet not very smart. I just saw another video on this story but you went into much more detail. That’s why I like your videos Danielle. ❤❤
Not everyone puts their money in their home
I've been watching your videos for years now and now sitting here watching you cover a case that literally happens 5mins from my home is crazy. It was such a shock to the community when it first came out and to this day the house is completely boarded up and breaks my heart when ever I have to drive past it. Thankyou for covering this case.
It’s been a ROUGH FEW… WELL, ROUGH FEW WEEKS, but, hey, I’m not a victim of true crime. Ironically, Ms. Danielle Kirsty cheers me up with her professional and sensitive delivery of well-researched content!! (Not trying to be insensitive guys, sorry I know it sounds horrible to be cheered up by true crime)
That's ok anon one. We'll get over your insesetiveness
I believe two things can be true at the same time ,i believe the parents were abusive to their children because that explains why the other kids didn't care to emphasize on seeing their parents for the 4yrs ,i believe she was so calm coz she had already gone through all the stages of grief and already had gone through the paranoia of getting caught for the four years she lived there ,i first saw this clip of her arrest on tiktok and I'm so glad Danielle covered it in depth
4 years without talking to their parents or visiting… wow… this definitely wouldn’t happen in Latin America. She is such a psycho!
Agreed something not right there!
PS I lived I'd Brazil for ten years so I know you are spot on.
It would happen but the sister would have phoned the police next week after the murder.
@@Alejojojo6 My thoughts exactly! ... a very strange family dynamics they had.
I watched a video covering this case recently on another channel, but watching your video feels like watching a whole new case due to the level of detail you include. Appreciate your hard work and research behind these cases ❤
I was estranged from my mother, I still made sure she was ok, I don't trust this family. Now they care? It took a Dr. to care about them to end this.
It's 11:30 pm and I should go to bed... but I just noticed that there's a new Danielle video!... I can stay up an extra hour. 🙃
Thanks for uploading almost weekly. I speak for many when I say we look forward to it. ❤
Absolutely wild that the other siblings did not step in 100% especially knowing she was a pathological liar.
Danielle, with all due respect, you were obviously spoilt with having good, loving parents. I, on the other hand, who grew up with a narcissistic, controlling, and emotionally detached mother rather believe that the parents in this story were not your model parents, really. I am not buying your statement that the other siblings were disconnected from the parents through no fault of the latter. This is not how families work, and this is not how human relations in general work. Not defending the murder, just sick and tired of all this 'mommy can do no harm' nonsense.
Thanks for typing this.
@@micheallevy1634Thank you for understanding. And I am really disgusted by this assumption that in any conflict, tension, or disconnection between a parent and their grown child it is the child that's at fault.
I’m not sure about Danielle growing up with loving parents. As she has mentioned she was raised by her nan. So the parents may have not been as present or loving as you presume
