Hey you! It's been 16 minutes, and there's 10k views already.... Mike, seriously if you ever, and I mean EVER needed a sign that you're doing well and that you've made it, this is it. I love your videos, I love the work you put in on and off the camera. Much love! 30 seconds in and I already can't wait for the next one
Buddy has nobody told you how to pronounce words that start with Th? It's not turdy..that's a poo. It's thirty you have to pronounce the th like Sylvester the cat Cause he has a lisp. Do you pronounce Thor tor? And it's thhhhree not tree
I P standing up 🤦🏻♀️
I live in n ga. I've always thought these people were random in such in-your-face sophisticated fashion. Nothing to do with these people. Was a message to the s.herr.if IMO.
64 years together.. Man seeing those old pictures of them happy together always makes me sad. It's so rare to find a love like that. I hope they rest easy together.
My husband and I are going on 37 years but even that pales in comparison to the time they spent together. It's such a horrible crime.
I find odd solace in the fact that they died together, so neither one didnt have to go on alone. Weird, I know.
@Jane Miettinen no I agree it's heart breaking but they went together😭💔
…..Not without a head he won’t!!!!
@@wildechild5 Yes . Very rare indeed. We had 40 years together before my husband passed from a raging stroke 2 days after Christmas in 2017. What a basis all those years of hanging in there through thick & thin are worth that you’ve been to though together..it gives new meaning to ‘’bff’’…
The sheriff's somewhat adorable "whu...me?" when the reporter asked when he planned to retire was actually super funny.
"attractive guy like me?"
Sometimes a new Sheriff in town helps solve a case. At least a new set of eyes.
True dat
@Karen Edwards the case can still get tons of new eyes even under the same sheriff tho! I'm sure it's more worrying to imagine passing it off to someone who is quicker to send cases to cold status?
@@redneckshaman3099what a video to say dumb shit under.
What a despicable, disrespectful way to end 2 senior citizens married for 64 years. I’m praying whoever did this is caught.
Can you even imagine walking in somewhere to hopefully help out a friend and you find them beheaded ? That has to be something that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
A horrible scene, I am sure.....
Funny enough l have been described as a "redhead with a fiery temper" lol! Cheers from one ginger to another!!🍻🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
@@shendaraalshedir5403I’m curious how is your red hair relevant to being beheaded ???
This is the stuff of nightmares. I feel so bad for the friends who found his body.
My nightmare! If I would fInd a trash bag or travel luggage in the woods, I would never watch near or inside. If it’s suspicious, I would call the police. I never look into bags outside. Never!
@@TheApp9 Yikes, I hadn’t thought of that. I always do look inside such things, but have never found anything but rubbish. I shall rethink this.
@@TheApp9 same especially after watching these kinds of videos. Also never ever go check on a coworker who hasn't shown up for work. That seems to always end badly too
@@C.O._Jones Hope if you find something, then something nice and not something you don’t wanna find. Good luck 👍🏻😉
Maybe an affair with the woman? So the man killed the husband and drowned the woman. Why else would it be this personal and known the house so well.
These unsolved cases are so unsatisfying to watch. Hope it's solved soon. So sad and awful. May they RIP.
Agreed.
Oh I think they will get them; remember no one ever thought the Golden State Killer from CA would be caught after all those years either!
I'll never understand how people hurt or kill others let alone the elderly. Especially in such a heinous manner. Bless their souls and their family.
There is some very sick, demented individuals out there. Very sad.
Depending on how the elderly person was in their youth, it's possible resentment and anger is why some are treated so badly when THEY are finally defenseless. Imagine an abused child being forced to care for their abuser in their old age. Happens all the time.
The elderly, animals, and children, feels extra heinous. Of course it's tragic no matter who the victim is
I know.
People hurting people makes me want to strangle someone
@@RowanWarren78
Agreed!
I think that it's because those three categories are typically defenseless against someone who is hellbent upon harming them.
I'll also agree that no matter who the victim is that it takes a vile and disgusting person to harm or murder another human being.
'That old man strength'. It's that kind of stuff right there that makes this the best.
You can tell that this case haunts the Sheriff. I hope he gets to solve it.
or he's guilty
Their son might had stole from Drugdealers/Mafia, and that is why his parents was murdered.
The sheriff seems a bit off to me. Doesn’t believe in forensics? Never gonna retire?
@@caspice so many years later?
@@adammullett BINGO ! EXACTLY!! Just what I thought
All I can think about is the poor people that found him in the garage. They have to be traumatized. She sounded so sweet. You always say, I'll go check on them...but you never know what horrendous scene you'll come across and how it could affect oneself. However, they are the true caring heros in this case for their bravery to discover a beheaded friend. I pray they find who did this. Such a tragedy. 😥
Unless it was them that did it
All I can think about is the poor people that were killed.
“She sounded so sweet” 😂 That Georgia accent really got you fooled, she’s an old super rich lady living in a place literally called “the plantation”, she would sooner sneeze on regular people like you & me rather than actually be kind
@@CantTellYou oh. Did you know her?
@@CantTellYouo that’s your mentality about rich people from that part of the Country? 😅 you sounds so stupid 😂…. Ignorant ….🤦🏽♂️
It's truly frightening that the person responsible for these awful killings is still walking around free and will almost certainly harm someone else judging on the brutal nature of the killings
Yes wow 😳💔💔😈😈
Bet it someone they knew

I am so sorry for the family. This one really needs to be solved and I think it had to do with the business.

Absolutely, what a cutie ❤️😊❤️
Same! 🖤
So incredibly sad, a couple who spent so long together and to have their lives end horribly. The fact that the police is refusing help makes things suspicious in my eyes. I hope the family gets the justice they deserve.
Exactly
Did you see my comment because I made it about the same time you did yours a year ago and not one person other than myself liked it and I basically said the same thing I'm just wondering if TH-cam is shadow banning me.
There is nothing better than taking a lunch break and listening to a brand new post from Mike

@@ThatChapter why are your video titles no longer respectful of the victims? You're now using titles that are supposed to draw people in whereas in the past you would use titles that were more respectful.
This guy looked amazing for his age. Also, the sheriff may come off kind of cooky, but hes extremely accomplished as this is the only unsolved case of his career.
So far...
Because he’s only had like 2 cases in his career…
@@kaltkalt2083 🤔
@@kaltkalt2083you know that because of case loads, small town law enforcement actually work a similar number of cases to larger city cops and almost all of them have more diversity in case types in their work career rather than only working misdemeanors for an entire career….
@@kaltkalt2083but no, how about you go do the research. See how many cases that sheriff has closed in his career if you’re not too lazy
Let's hope this is resolved in our lifetime, and covered by Mikey ,of course.
I was really into this case. There's not a ton of info out there, but it's one of those cases that seems basically unsolvable unless someone comes forward.
OUR lifetime? Do you think everyone here shares your birthday...or birthyear...or even birthcentury?
It's taken me AGES to realise that 'tearies' aren't the word equivalent of a crying face emoji but Irish for 'theories'

😂😂😂
Really?! I figured it out after my turd try.
😂😂😂😂
“What does IP stand for? I don’t know I pee standing up.” Damnit Mike 😂
I can guarantee those people probably pay quite a bit of money to the homeowners association or whoever for all of the amenities, like video surveillance. How infuriating to find out that what you pay for isn't being kept up with
Right? It really angers me. HOA's charge all those fees and give these people a false sense of security instead of real safety for elderly people that need it. Elderly people are dependent on systems like those. Ugh.
Not just being kept up with. It failed them completely
My hoa is a pain n the butt with their stupid notes n fine threats
How about that. Rich people get screwed too.

I’m familiar with this case thanks to a video made by Cayleigh Elise ages ago. It is one of the worst, saddest cases I’ve come across, especially since they’ve never managed to locate Russell’s head. I hope this case will be solved one day, and that the family gets the justice that they deserve.
I remember that video! I miss Cayleigh
I remember that video, Cayleigh was awesome.
Familiar you say eh? Please give us a call .. NJPD hotline
I bet a family member is behind it
Cayleigh Elise was my all-time favorite!! I still go back and seek out her videos that others have re-uploaded!
Im a truck driver.. I was right next to this lake parked overnight waiting to drop off a load. I remember parking on a backroad near the truck stop because there were no parking spots left. I remember feeling really eerie about parking there and thinking I heard someone try to open my door. I didn’t know of this story. How horrifying.
That is so terrifying. And of course, also a shame that you witnessed nothing
@@briohnyr hmmm makes you think doesn’t it?
@@briohnyr OMG.
No dash cam?
Roaming marauders looking to rob any one of these rich homes. Random that they chose Dermonds'. They use the lake but dont live on it...fishing boating work on the lake prolly drug fueled...check locals arrest records
Imho
RIP hope it gets solved
I love the idea of you checking on all your subscribers by breaking into our houses while we sleep, just to make sure we're okay.
Love seeing your videos before work. Cause when I’m hating the thought of going to work, i can remember “it could be worse… it could be a loooot worse”
Diana you cracked me up!😂🤣
haha yeah I’m on the same boat
Haha so true tho !
I wonder if they didn't dump Mr. Durmond's (sp?) head in the same lake as they disposed of Mrs. Durmond. I usually hate stories that have no resolution, but of course, Mike made this so dang interesting that I can't even be mad about it. I also find it particularly upsetting when elderly people have horrible deaths. To me, they're almost as vulnerable as children. I certainly hope they find the monsters who committed these crimes! Great job again, Mike!
All of the released evidence makes more sense if we reverse the events- perhaps they were killed on the lake, and Russel was brought back to the house to both remove the head and to throw off the investigation as to where the incident occurred. The whole thing reeks of either an accident that snowballed out of control, or a very inexperienced hit.
I know "vulnerable as children" men in their early 80s that would rip a 20 year old's head off their bodies and spit in it. I don't think old folks particularly like being compared to toddlers? Will you when the time comes?
And did you even listen to how active they were? I'm 50 and not half as active.
@@richt7525 I doubt that. Russell was wearing a robe when he was found beheaded.
Yeah it hits the same way because at that point your life is sweet but fragile and it’s so horrible that someone would target them
At the very beginning the Dermonds were missed from a party where most of their friends and neighbors were gathering and expecting them. I think whoever is involved was aware of the community’s events and planned it for that night as everybody else was at the party, right? 😢
Or maybe someone at that party wasn't really missing or expecting them.
Right? Maybe a neighbor on the lake did it? Would fit the profile of someone the victims knew and would be let in, and someone who had a boat on the lake to go to their dock and to dump the body later. And a neighbor would have known about the party.

Lmao I have 16,000 unread emails, and I refuse push notifications

They lived their own lives in privacy and weren't a harm to anyone but their lives ended up getting snuffed out in the most brutal manner it really makes you hate humanity
Woah. It wasn't humanity that killed them. Quite the opposite, I would think.
Why woud you choose to hate all of humanity for the few evil people out there, instead of love humanity for the majority of us who are good people?
Is your glass always half empty?
I get what you're saying, even if others want to drag you down. If a lot of them aren't using you, they're talking crap, & then you have to wonder if they're psychotic, antisocial, just trouble makers, or homicidal. Too many people end up hating on people that are nice, helpful, or minding their own business.
It's sad that people are so superficial or just enjoy putting others down that they can't imagine the bigger picture that might lead someone to live in the woods up a 4x4 only driveway.

Me neither and I am from Georgia!
This horror must be overwhelming for their children. I sincerely hope the murderers are discovered and prosecuted soon. What was the reason this happened? That would drive me crazy if I was involved in their case.
Mike, you make me smile, you’re storytelling and originality to put these together. You do it perfectly and I’m a fan for life. Thanks for all you do. A Grandmother from Vegas.

All the best ! 🙏🏻🤗💐
Thank you so much for covering this story. A few weeks ago I actually remembered it and wondered what had happened. I was hoping that by now they would have uncovered something of significance in this very bizarre crime. Hopefully they will find out who did this and I look forward to seeing your coverage of it.
@TheMRThatChapter0gtfo scambot
Started working at one of the restaurants on property a month after this all happened and only heard rumors, glad Mike is able to tell their story!
The poor 3 kids who remained.. their brother and both parents murdered! I can't imagine having to go through that.
hey they lived a happy fulfilled life. if I'm 88 come and kill me cause I don't want to die in a nursing home. Old people murders are somewhat mercy killings.
I grew up in Georgia and this story has always haunted me. Just a few months back the sheriff and the news stations were talking about this story. There are so many theories and layers but they believe it will be solved one day!
Unless someone just up and out of the blue confesses i really don't see this one ever getting solved especially until they find his head, there was just so much lack of evidence despite being in that wealthy and private of an area.
Thank you for saying the police still has hopes. This things shall never happen, never. I wish we could be separated from all this kind of people, with no mercy in order to know well whom we are and that's if fine to be happily alive.
@user-tl9bf2sy5h according to the sheriff and people working the case, they have undisclosed evidence that could lead to the killer. I don't know what that means or what it is. Maybe DNA? I'm not sure. Maybe they just say that but the sheriff and his department have said that it is solvable but maybe that's just their hope. I hope they do solve it.
Look at the children and grandchildren again. This is a personal crime.
@TheMRThatChapter0 Whatever you do OP don't message this account, seems to be some attempt at scamming people for info, it's not Mike.
Thank you for covering another local case. (although the Lauren Giddings/Stephen McDaniel case happened in my hometown, only a town away from where I currently live, whereas this is a little over an hour away.) I'm pretty sure this case has haunted the entire state of Georgia ever since it happened, especially since they have never found the killers.
I love the fact that in almost all of Mike's videos half of the comments are about what a great creator Mike is and how much we love him. He doesn't even know but he's been like a friend for me since years 💕
I don't know you either, but we can be friends as well, if you like.
@@kayasper6081 sounds like we'd end up in Mike's channel.
@@esindirik4447 Hahaha, you're good! Our connection is growing fast already😂
This is one of the most horrible cases that you've ever covered. It's scared me to my core. My husband and I used to live just a 1/2 block from the lake our community was build on and the communities boat dock. From our driveway we could pull onto the the short road to the boat dock. It used to bother me every time someone new in our community used ours that I didn't know. My husband thought I was being silly. But anyone could have pulled up to that boat dock and tied up to it even if they didn't live there. While we lived in a gated community that didn't help us one bit since we lived on a lake because we didn't have a guard stationed on the boat dock. Most gated communities don't. Look what happened to this poor couple. I'm sure they aren't the only couple something like this has happened to.
Keep ya cameras on. Take all precautions. This is a very very very strange case. Can't see a motive, other than to murder two people in cold blood for no reason. Closets usually have skeletons though, so maybe its revenge for something no-one but the perp and the victim know about.
So are you rich too?
@@ivypoison6806 very good point 😒
The gate won’t help either lol if I wanted to get to you or your house I’d get in it lol I’m 5 foot 5 and can scale a 10 foot fence easily! Only way you’re gonna be safe is getting a gun and some ammo and go out shooting your gun practicing shooting and aim the gun in
@@tazcahoon4051 good point Taz - because everyone knows that people who have guns are never killed, murdered or raped.
The sheriff had really botched this case. He’s refused help from the GBI or the FBI there have been lawsuits between the sheriff’s department and the GBI over this case because the sheriff says the GBI is “compromised” the whole thing has been weird from day one. Hopefully this family gets justice.
Agreed although I think it’s just his ego and need to solve it himself more than anything. I think if the FBI was involved from the start they would have gotten further.
Never heard of the GBI before
@@lifegoeson1007 Georgia burea of investigation. It’s the local state burea of investigation similar to what the FBI does but on a state level
Pssst , they were probably involved
I thought the same thing!!! 👍
Praying they can solve this case. It is heartbreaking.
Something about seeing them young and happy...who knows if they were always good, kind people but it is just heartbreaking to see them so full of hope and happiness, to know they would meet such a grisly end. So unbelievably senseless.
This is such a horrific tragedy. Can’t believe how old the friends would’ve been feeling to find the body. But on another note, I absolutely love love love you Mike and seriously what better way to have a day then with your voice. Keep up your amazing content always !!!!!!!

Such a bizarre case. I feel so sorry for their children. These people must have had an enemy somewhere.
This story reminds me of the Honey and Barry Sherman murders here in Toronto (also unsolved), although the method of killing differs. Wealthy, popular, elderly couple; family members not suspected; lack of evidence/motive, etc..
I hadn't thought about that but you're right.
Exactly what I thought
Except that Barry Sherman was not a respected business man. Everytime Sherman lost money on any investment he filed hundreds of lawsuits. He filed lawsuits against employees for stealing drug formulas that HE stole from other drug companies. The day he was murdered he filed a lawsuit after he lost $150,000 on a mobile phone app investment. The guy had way more enemies than friends.
Yes, horrific!
People rarely make it in business without seriously offending someone. I wonder if only their children owned franchises or if it included non-family members. These two murders were motivated by hate or revenge, perhaps both. And the husband was meant to be found, which tells you someone probably understands why. Scary stuff.
Most of the franchises were in New Jersey...!!!
Ever hear about the Smiley Face killings, it's believed to be a loose knit group of thrill killers across the country. This could simply be a thrill killing and not motivated by revenge.
I’m pretty sure that smiley face killers thing is totally made up, or if not , just basing things off of stuff posted on the internet, maybe confusing some cases that actually do have links together for something they then think is much larger but actually isn’t.
yeah-but it still could be random…it just could!
@@JordanHowellMusic it is made up just a conspiracy theory because a lot of murders happened in areas that have a spray paint smiley face there is actually zero evidence that any of them are connected across the country in anyway and it's one of the most common tags that you find which just means it really holds no validity.
dude this place is 10 minutes from where i live. this is the first video i’ve seen about this im so glad you are doing this!!!!

Really? I’ve seen several videos on it. Wish I could remember where so I could recommend
Same! Was so weird hearing names of places I know including my job.
When Mike said he thought it was a boy, when he got closer he realized it wasn't a boy, it was her body weighed down with cinder blocks: I realized oh it was 'buoy' not 'boy' gotta love the accent hahaha!!
Mike, you're one of my absolute favorite storytellers and it always makes my day when I get the notification of a new 'That Chapter' video! Keep 'em coming my friend! We all love 'em and we all love ya!!
You need the context to make sense of the spoken word, but that's how it's pronounced. Brits (and probably southern Irish) can't understand why Yanks feel the need to add another syllable and make boo-eey.
Yep it’s said the same. Homophone.
Hi Mike! I just want to say thanks, im in the hospital, obviously not feeling well at all, and your new video popping up is the first thing that made me really smile in days.. 🥰💜
Hope you feel better soon!💐🙏
Feel better 🙏
Wishing you some peace, joy and enough rest!
Whoa, I was not expecting an ending to the story without a resolution. How crazy and baffling. I cannot believe I’ve never heard of this case before, too wild
Word this was definfoitely a Bizzare story, I was hoping for a happy ending but I'll be waiting for a update
Mystery group -
Thought there would be a name to it Wasn't expecting it to be unresolved
Not just no resolution, but no facts, or clues, or suspects or details, or motive, no insurance dance, no head or crime scene or witnesses, no video. Every detail in this story was imaginary, from the familiar killers to the registered bullet in the missing head. I'll bet the Sheriff found a hair, only he knows about.
Horrifying that they never found the killer. It breaks my heart for the family, friends and neighbours 💔 RIP🕊🕊
“I pee standing up,” just one reason why you are my favorite, Mike. 😂. Your inputs of humor!
They said "the victims must have known at least one of the killers" but we normally open the doors for people in work clothes or uniform, even if it is to just gesture in which direction they should go to find their destination/worksite. And considering that they seem like a sweet older couple, living in a safe area, just a request for help could have probably had them opening that door.
Good point
Ugh yes everyone should have an intercom at their front door!!! It would be so easy to disguise as a salesperson and then just barge in. Really scary stuff 😢
Or Police etc.
I completely agree with you! Georgians absolutely have the cultural expectation of opening the door and offering assistance to people in need, especially in more rural areas. We’re taught to not be rude, especially earlier generations like these poor folks.
Well, there's this kid at my job who claims his uncle worked for them as a handyman or something.
I have to believe there’s a special place in hell for deranged heartless brutal murderers of innocent senior citizens who can usually no more defend themselves in an instance such as this anymore than a child could. Thanks for covering this one, Mike. I’ve wondered about this case from time to time. Sad to see there’s still not been much progress made on it.
But as they were senior citizens, you could count the murderer as having done a public service.

I would check out who rented a boat in the immediate area around the time of the murders. Also, the policeman Sills really comes across as a decent and dedicated man. Hopes he solves this in the end
He’s already did that…guaranteed
@@AnnieBoBannie421 👍 And if they already owned a boat, that wouldn't show up.
Do you seriously think that between the GBI, FBI and local sheriff's department none of them thought to look into boat rentals on the lake ? They are professional investigators btw . I'm positive that was one of the very 1st things that was done.
@@VioletJoy exactly… I doubt that fancy lake even had rentals…. Everyone there owned a boat… they also wouldn’t want extra boats around either…. They wanted peace and lived in gated community!! Makes 0 sense to have ‘rentals’…. ♥️💋
They've looked at every phone call that was made to and from the victims home and cell phones, all video available in the area including boat ramps if it exists. I have no doubt they have been very thorough as far as any electronic links, observation or record of possible contact or communication with the victims
Forensics were laughed at but so incredibly important, of course. Nothing? So sad and horrifying. Mike well done ag. Thanks for Being Authentic as You Are. 🤘🏽💕❤️💯
The seemingly randomness is the terrifying part. The perpetuator(s) put in a hell of a lot of effort with little to no motivation other than to just kill 2 people indiscriminately.
I thought they clearly said it wasnt random....🤔
Every single thing in your comment is incorrect.
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n No it isnt. You're just being contrarian.
@@onyxgothicc Is too. It wasn't random, no one knows how many killers there were or the effort they put into it, motivation is unknown and again it wasn't indiscriminate. But you are absolutely spot on, when popular opinion loses its mind, I'm the annoying ray of sunshine in the eyes to slow it down. Unapologetically contrarian.
We do not know for sure that they were killed indiscriminately. What if Shirley witnessed something?
I would think it has to be someone from within the gated community or someone who worked within the gated community. The fact the cameras where down and they knew the lake well enough to get in and get out it wasn't random. Also did a storm knock out the camera or was it the killers doing their preparations
My thoughts as well
I think it was a family member that stood to benefit financially somehow. Has to be
I come here every week on the dot to hear the famous words “let’s give it a goo!” Frankly very happy to be part of the best crime story family TC ❤
They got the wrong house??
But you’re absolutely right about not only someone knows something about it but they’ll get caught for something else & spill their guts to try & help their own a## …. Hope to get an update soon 🙏🏼
Dude I literally just left from there. Work in the area, live on the poor side of town though. Those ppl live in a fantasy world in those communities. Sad what happened though, most of the residents are old people who have made their millions and moved to "the country." someone pissed someone off somewhere at some point in time.
Good thing I don't have to worry about those rascals bc Im protected by NORD VPN
so wtf dont people leave them to live in their own world, this is rather a fucking lot more than pissing someone off.
I was using a tad bit of sarcasm
@@jquinn2616 It was YOU. YOU did it! You saw Mike's video and hytailed out of town!!
As Mr Wong said on Norbit….”Heck to the no! “ 😂
😂
Mike nice to see you . Best true crime channel out there 👍
Love love love your story telling! You truly have a great talent that keeps your audience engaged and looking forward to the next video ☺️. I'm from the deepest part of the south.....believe me your southern accent is precious. God bless you and keep you safe and HEALTHY in body, mind and spirit!
I feel so sorry for anyone who finds a loved one in anything like that kind of condition, you would never stop seeing that image
This is a terrifying crime! My parents owned a house on a lake in Central Virginia, USA and I lived there for several years. I cannot imagine the fear of knowing something like this happened in the remote and usually quiet little lake community, the neighbors and homeowners must have been very frightened by all of this. How sad that such a lovely couple should meet such a horrific end, hope they find the killer(s) , for the family's sake and of the Sheriff's as well.
Love Mike, he tells tragic stories but also manages to insert a bit of humour, I am STILL binge watching, a lot of the cases I have seen on other channels but still watch Mike because there is always little extra bits… I have the closed captions on when I watch and sometimes it’s quite funny when the wrong words are used, makes a horrific case a bit more bareable 🇬🇧
Yeah 😂 cutie
Yeah, let’s talk 🙄
@TheMRThatChapter0 🤖
Who else is hoping for the Life Insurance dance???????
Life goals. I love the insurance dance.
✨️🎊Absolutely!!!🎊✨️
The dance & the accents! ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I even expect it when watching other true crime shows! 🤣
Ohh Mike please nooo!! I run away from unsolved crime channels and yours is my favourite for the past 3 years exactly because all your cases are solved!! please please dont change that!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mike never ceasing to make me smile - referring to VPN protection for his loved ones "and that's you, boo!" Be still my heart - we love you too! What a tragedy I agree, there is a special place in hell for senior citizen and child murderers. They worked their ass off only to have some POS take it all away when they finally retired! Just the WORST!
My In-Laws line in Eatonton. You stand on their boat dock, you can see the murder house. This scared the hell out of them and their community. They began locking their doors and windows after this.
Hi Mike, Solid video. Excellent coverage on the case!
I wondered if you'll be revisitng the Delphi murders since there's been an arrest and court documents released?
All the best, stay safe!
This is really unbelievable!!! Whoever did this knew what they were doing!!! Very scary to think that someone or more could do this and just walk away!!!
Best true crime show. Period. My kids and I all watch you(they are teens and older). We have started to say” let's give it a goooooo” regularly. Great channel!
I find it hard to believe that no one has bragged or talked about this murder somewhere. Besides having a guilty conscience people need to get this kind of thing out to at least get recognition for what they did to make them feel tough. Nothing overheard even. Very strange.
The people who did it probably don’t have a conscience. They probably felt justified in their own minds. We see that a lot. Unless one of them decides to brag, we may never know.
Lol are you a killer? Because I could do anything and keep it all to myself I have a ton of things no one knows and will never know not even on my death bed would I admit my crimes or tell anyone besides maybe my kid while I’m on my death bed
@@tazcahoon4051 oh please. Either you're 12 and "trying" to look tough, or you're a troll. Either way Get help, you obviously need it
Mike should have his own tv show... he's funny while still respectful to the victims.
He does, you're watching it. TH-cam is the new TV
He's really not that funny
Well you're a dope then
@@mickeybell8933 you kinda sound like your jealous. Lol
Yesssss!!! So respectful and so funny!!
I live in Georgia and I've never heard of this case. This is absolutely nuts
This is definitely a very mysterious case but as it's usually the case,its always someone who knows you that does these kinds of things to you, it's rare that strangers will so someone who knew them well with Intel on their lives and living situation with the boat dock and lack of camera surveillance is responsible for this.
Possibly their son Mark arranged this before his death for life insurance?
@@dreed1058 A plan that wasn't carried out until 14 years after his death? To gain what?
My thoughts exactly~ it was someone they knew who were really close to them
@@dreed1058 Doesn't make sense because why would the killer wait over a decade to do it?
It's a terrible story to hear but Mike helps by delivering it with a fare bit of humor. Prayers for the family and friends of the victims 🙏
But not at the expense of the victims.
I'm from Ga and this story has intrigued me for years since it happened.
Murder cases are always dreadful, so in using these really lovely pictures from their early happy days is just such a nice way of honoring them.
I remember this in the news…I lived in North Fl at the time and I can’t believe it is still unsolved and they never found that sweet man’s head 😢this poor couple. To make it to damn near 90 and be brutally murdered?!? They had such a beautiful retirement ahead. Super sad.
Not much ahead at 90. Also, no evidence of a brutal murder, no marks or bruises, no struggle. What was the cause of death?
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n he said likely gunshot in the head because of the residue on his shirt collar 🤷🏼♀️ brutal enough if you ask me…..
@@SaRoNaRN My bad, missed the residue part, but is there a kind (not brutal) way of murdering someone?
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n obviously not???
@@HelloBabygirl17 YES that is brutal. He might have died instantly, and to me that's the best way to go. Still horrible and gruesome.
I'm sure they did check but it'd be interesting to know if any cctv caught them being followed of watched in the weeks prior. Also, (obviously my own theory), it sounds like they were maybe keeping them separate to encourage one of them to do something they wanted. I don't feel it was random at all and there was definitely a purpose in it. Its doesn't sit right somehow. I also think they definitely knew the killers.
I sneezed right as you saying, "Look at you", so I didn't hear the first part, and it sounded like you were echoing my sneeze.
HEY MIKE! Two cases - the death of Stan White in Martinez, GA. Big realtor, disapperance, foul play. Big local case. Then also - the Aurora CO hammer man. Just a couple cases that have happened in my local areas. They both seem like good That Chapter episodes.
Hey man! I agree that both of these cases are interesting. I just had a question for you because I wasn't familiar with either of them - were both of them solved, or am I looking at the wrong cases? Was Stan White's case in 1996?
That John McClaine "...have a few laughs" impression was spot on! Bravo sir!
I missed that! Do you have the timestamp?
@@annickalexander Indeed! :-) @2:49
@@lerlesherb Ah! Thanks 😃
What could possibly be the reason? I keep coming back to mistaken identity/wrong house, but evidence shows they knew the killer(s). Very bizarre. Thanks for giving us a goo, Mike.
Breached witness protection.
Someone from their past?
Keep us updated. This is really an interesting case and would love to hear more about it.
Sniff me coward!
If they didn't, they really should of made a list of who lives on the lake and who had boat slips at the marinas. I've never heard of a boat launch being open in the middle of the night and it seemed to me the killers had zero intention of the authorities figuring out they came by boat, but either way it's probably too late now.
My grandparents lived in an extremely similar house on a lake in New Hampshire so this case has always bugged me.
There are plenty of boat ramps around that lake that if you put your boat in at night, nobody would know or see you.
@@joyhruska9377 is that how it is down south? In New England basically all the boat ramps are gated at night and the ones that aren't a cop would certainly notice your truck and trailer sitting there.
@penskepc2374 yeah a lot of boat ramps are just concrete slabs that go into the lake and nobody has control over them. A lot are in wooded areas where you can't see anything. There are some that are controlled but plenty that aren't. They find a lot of stolen cars in lakes and rivers down here because it's so easy to dump them and nobody see anything.
Two ideas spring to mind:
1. Someone kidnapped the Durmond's at gunpoint and attempted to get them to withdraw money from their accounts. The couple may have been uncooperative and possibly tried to overcome their kidnappers (likely Russell, which may have gotten him shot).
2, The Durmond's discovered someone embezzling or stealing from one of their enterprises and confronted them, with deadly results.
We would have seen CCTV footage if that were the case.
Financial records would show that
@ThatChapter This is a truly tragic and terrifying story. I must applaud Mike, however… I can’t imagine the amount of restraint he used to keep from completing the sentence “the fisherman thought it was a buoy…” with… but it was a girl. I’m sorry, honestly, I’m sorry, but I could feel him biting his tongue on that one. May they Rest In Peace.
It's called acting
