I was going to say the same thing. I've seen it several times on several different crime shows. Hateful old mean people! But SKD cuts right to the point and facts. Will be interesting to hear this version..
Idk... I know men kinda like ray. Not killers. But men who remind me of him. You wouldn't believe the crap they hide from wives and the tales they weave to get them to go along. He likely could have just had her keep a list of who was there and who left, and said she could keep any clothes left behind. If she had been very sheltered, she wouldn't have known different. Considering how violent he was, she wouldn't have questioned him to begin with on the innocent stuff enough to get to anything dangerous. But women like her make quilts out of any scraps they can. She couldn't have told them where bodies were because she honestly didn't know. This is one of the few cases where I have serious doubts about her guilt.
Who really knows? Maybe he beat her or kept her in the dark about what he was doing, or both. I’m 62 and have had experience with 2 women that can be described as truly evil. There are some very sinister women in the world. I unfortunately had dealings with some of them. Neither one was abused by their mate. Both chose to be what they are.
the "i'm just an ignorant old woman who blindly loved my husband" defense was fooling everyone, they were a team and she went along with all of it for more money. They thought they were scheming everyone in the county. She never wondered what happened on that farm? nah she was smarter than she led on.
I was a parole officer at the prison where she was held for several years. She was the boss and planner of all these crimes. She was still dangerous in prison.
I remember watching a episode on forensic files about this couple *after reading the comments I see alot of us watch forensic files… 💙 I’ll watch it over and over and over again 😂
Faye was just as guilty. If she would've given a location where others were buried, but no. I think she drugged them and he shot them in their sleep. Washed their clothes and made a warm quilt for those cold chilly days.
The one guy he didn't kill, he asked him to bend down and help him with something, leaving him prone with his head turned. I believe either the gun jammed, he found it suspicious that Ray had his gun and left, or he talked Ray into not killing him and fled.
I doubt they would have been willing to drop any money for drugs. He probably just had them turn around and get something in the barn, then shot them in the head.
Just to point out an error; WWI ended in 1918, but the Great Depression didn't start then; it started after the Black Friday stock market crash, Eleven years later, in 1929. Great Channel, BTW.
@@elishh8567 I lived 800 miles away. Since there were eight siblings in the family (I'm the baby.) at the time this case happened, there were three of my siblings living in the same city with my brother. They trying to help him out. He eventually moved in with my oldest sister. She helped him get his life on track. He became a long hall truck driver and he's now retired living in his own house. You know a lot of homeless people suffer from mental illness and they either choose that life or they are pushed into by life happenings. My brother had some things to work through and he did it on his terms but it has a happy ending. ✌🏻💙☯️
I have heard about this couple before but didn't know their story or that they had 5 children. Very interesting story, I am sure there were more like them but never caught. Thanks for your work to bring us this information. Stay safe.
When prisoners convicted of murder are released from prison early, a random member of the parole board should be required to rent them a room in their own house. Let's see how many are released early then.
In Forensic Files, one of the damning evidence that added to Faye's guilt was that she was literate. Ray was not, yet someone was able to do accounting and writing the drifter's names in a list. Faye would write the names and Ray will put an X on the disappeared drifters. Faye would also do the obvious accounting then make quilts off the drifter's clothes. McCormick being a drifter himself, knew some of the clothes he saw in the house were from missing drifters as drifters would write their names on their clothes somewhere. It is what most likely made him to get out of dodge fast and tell the police.
Just because she could write doesn't mean she knew that they were actually were murdered, maybe her husband told her that they left and forgot some clothes so she made quilts out of it cause she was poor. This kinda sounds like victim blaming, even if her suspicions were raised what could she do about it? She could have been murdered too, if she tried to tell. Like abusive relationships are hell, and getting out of them is extremely painful and in her case would have been deadly. You don't know how bad domestic abuse is until it happens to you.

However spouse abuser are horrible people and if someone is a victim of spousal abuse the law should accommodate that factor in to the final judgement.
I think it’s brilliant. Think about it… they’re trying to take a man who has zero work history and turn him into an honest hardworking individual. Working on a farm would give someone the experience and discipline they need to learn how to make a living the right way. Whether the person learns from the experience or not is up to them, but he obviously didn’t care to live the honest life. You also have to take into consideration the time period. Now, we have prison camps that allow inmates to work on roads or to help with city or county-related needs. Back then they didn’t have major highways or need inmates to pick up trash on the side of the road, so they gave him a job as a farmhand. It was probably a much better option than sitting in prison.
It’s hard to say what went on in that relationship. She may not have been involved in any of the killings but I doubt she was clueless. I did some time in prison and sometimes I would be looking at some old grandma shuffling through the yard. It’s hard not to feel bad for a moment...Then you remember that she hacked up her neighbor and collected their SS checks for decades(on 3 different occasions) Yep, be careful not to let a kindly old face make you think you’re in no danger.

If kids getting abused doesn't excuse their crimes, then a woman being abused doesn't excuse her crimes. Equality. I mean she literally got a way out and decided not to take it, why anyone would say she deserved to be let free is strange to say the least. If she took the deal she would have been free of him, but she didn't want to be. She made her murderous bed.
I'm sure she was involved in the killings and so didn't want a lighter sentence than him. Every property he lived and farmed on should be checked for bodies. Now when I see a story of someone missing for decades, Ray will come to mind.
As a quiltmaker who has made momento mori quilts I'm appalled that she used the victims clothing to keep herself warm. I thought I'd already seen the most gruesome trophies on this channel and then I see a case featuring a creepy quilt.
I wonder if she knew they were dead? I think it more likely he told her they ran off. These were drifters they hired. Thus her x'ing out the names and putting the cloth to good use. Just my thoughts. Not saying she was a saint. But nothing they ever showed ever meant much of anything to me. Ive known men who run families like him. You don't ask him questions.
My great grandma’s brother was one of the victims. She is still alive and talks about it with me to this day. She said her brothers name was on the list Faye wrote out with an “X” next to it but they never found the body. My grandmother begged her at the trial to tell here where his body was and she said she was cold, and did not say anything.
I am so sick of them commuting death to life sentences for women!! They knew exactly what was going on. They're just as guilty as the men... Love the 3 in the jeep at the end---lmao!!
I don't know about Faye's situation, but most psychopaths can dismantle your personality in about 3 days-3 weeks, especially if the person has no special ops training, hostage training, or terrorist training . Once they have your personality dismantled, you are their puppet, quite literally. Psychopaths are the most lethal domestic abusers around, and that may be why their female partners are not put to death. For some of them, every day they exist they are just trying to stay alive. Of course, you may be so ignorant on psychopathy that you believe you could resist having your personality dismantled, but unless you are a psychopath yourself, you'd be wrong about that.
Sad and baffling. I can't understand why anyone would do what they did. I don't condone the behavior. Why did you ask me this question? Did you think I was proud of this?
They were actually very good looking in their younger years, another thing that stands out is that people started looking very old around the age of 40 and looked like grandparents back in the days.
What's truly fantastic about this story is how stupid both Ray and law enforcement was. You can't evade a paper trail of bad checks. I actually found myself laughing at how anyone would write 1 bad check, let alone dozens? Lol
Doesn't matter to him if he never intended to be around when the consequences came knocking. And that could take awhile in a time when computer networks were not a widespread thing.
One of the most chilling things about this case to me is how Ray clearly viewed the drifters as worthless trash that could easily be disposed of after they were no longer useful. They weren't seen as human beings. Faye had to at least know something about what was going on. The list that she kept had the names of the men and an X next to each one that was confirmed to be dead, and if I remember right some others never accounted for.
Making quilts from the drifter’s clothes is what did it to her. She couldn’t say she didn’t know what was going on. She didn’t kill them, but she didn’t try to stop it either.
I know the man who’s well was used to dispose of the last body they found. He and his wife used that well for drinking water. He was a neighbor farmer.
Nah, women back then made quilts out of any leftover fabric. My mother would have done that thinking that the men just left those things behind. Heck, she is always leaving her stuff here! 😂 I should make her a quilt out of her forgotten things!
I love the prison interview she did where she was trying to garner sympathy saying she knew nothing. I wasn't moved, but felt sorry for her until she said of her husband 'If he did it'.
Faye made a quilt out of the clothing of the murdered men? That's clutch! Plus I don't wanna be the first to say it but.....faye wasn't bad looking when she was younger.
@@addie_is_me oh yes said she was a very nice person but she was mentally & physically beaten woman. Reva(mother in law) said even at that time u could tell she was a battered woman. Mooresville is a very small town the main town is Chillicothe, mo where everyone knows everyone
@@garryjohnston7777 IDK Copeland was her married name. I think she was innocent cause he was such an a#@hole she just did what she was told. Many yrs ago found myself in a situation ppl thought I would have known, but I didn't. Still have guilty feelings.
There isn't much of a point to make whether Faye could hurt a fly or not, the fact is she was in on it and at the very last knew about all the killing and did nothing, but instead made the best of it contributing in her own way.
Well that just made my morning better, something to look forward to at 7 o’clock this evening, thank you so much for your work👍🏻from Florida b safe all✌🏻😷
man, that's one of the best outro's i've ever seen! great video, and i think the Wifey might have layed it on a little too thick in the interview at the end there.
Great closing! I've been listening to SKD lately rather than watching, so this is the first I've seen the Zoolander-esque serial killer jeep ride! This has made my really sucky Tuesday awesome!🖖🐢
I can't believe the support Faye got, it's absolutely gross. She was directly involved in the murder of heaps of poor sods. It's painfully obvious the bias on the justice system for this case. Imagine if the accomplice was a man or a poc, there wouldn't be any question of execution. Remember she was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. It's irrelevant that she wouldn't hurt anyone if released because it's about justice for the dead and their families.
Holy crap! I live really close to Harrison, Arkansas. I remember hearing about this case, but I never knew that they lived in Harrison! Thanks for the info! 🙀❤
Further proof that at a certain point of continuing to commit crime you just need to be put down. There are so many people out there like this guy who will just forever keep doing crime until they're either permanently locked up or put down. Stop wasting tax dollars and time on them and just get rid of them so we can move on with important things
As usual, the woman gets offered a deal and faces less consequences for literally no reason except that she is female. She was no less guilty than him as exemplified by the fact that she made a quilt/blanket out of their victims' clothing. Did she seriously expect anyone to believe that her husband kept randomly bringing home bloodstained, dirty clothes for her and she never once questioned it? Yeah, no. That's obviously a load of shit. She definitely knew all about those murders and most likely played a role in them, herself. This is why people wrongly think men are so much more likely to commit murder. It's not that women don't kill, it's just because they are very rarely properly convicted when they do.
Back then wives served their husbands no matter what happened or how they were treated. My father in-law is a mean old man to his wife, his wife is the kindest woman I know. But he’s a crook, wife beater, a drunk, beat his kids until i met his daughter 30 years ago. Didn’t take long to figure out what he was doing and how he was. I was doing a surprise visit with his daughter ( now wife ) when I walked in his wife was on the floor as he was kicking her with his big boots on, daughter and brother in the corner crying and begging him to stop. He was in total shock when he seen me, so was i, I couldn’t believe what i was seeing. He said to me..you want some of this to ? I just stared at his daughter ( now wife ) and finally said, yes i do want some of that as I grabbed a big glass pepsi bottle from the table and said you only have one chance at me. He instantly started crying, begging for help that he can’t help it. I made him call the police and say what he was doing. They still alive today but hasn’t been abusive since that day. He still has the odd rude remark to his wife but I just remind him every so often that i hear an see everything and I am still willing to offer what I offered back then.
This is one of the first cases I remember watching on Forensic Files as a kid. Can't wait for this one!

I am so sick of them commuting death to life sentences for women!! They knew exactly what was going on. They're just as guilty as the men...
Love the 3 in the jeep at the end---lmao!!
Yes I agree with you totally
I don't know about Faye's situation, but most psychopaths can dismantle your personality in about 3 days-3 weeks, especially if the person has no special ops training, hostage training, or terrorist training . Once they have your personality dismantled, you are their puppet, quite literally.
Psychopaths are the most lethal domestic abusers around, and that may be why their female partners are not put to death. For some of them, every day they exist they are just trying to stay alive.
Of course, you may be so ignorant on psychopathy that you believe you could resist having your personality dismantled, but unless you are a psychopath yourself, you'd be wrong about that.

I'd think death would be too easy. Life in a box ?
Keep making excuses.
I heard they were writing A book in prison, "How to run A farm on A skeleton crew".
That's some crazy ass old folks there, lol...damn
No doubt! (Gulp)
😩🤦🏾♀️🤣
I'm kin to Faye. I'm glad to see this story, details are hard to come by.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Wow how is it living considering the fact that you have cold blooded serial murderers in your family tree?
Sad and baffling. I can't understand why anyone would do what they did. I don't condone the behavior. Why did you ask me this question? Did you think I was proud of this?
@@Warex06 how do ou know you haven't? What kind of a question is this FFS?
They were actually very good looking in their younger years, another thing that stands out is that people started looking very old around the age of 40 and looked like grandparents back in the days.
They both came from the very shallow end of the gene pool.
@@lilithlevi9534 *Be proud that you can speak more than one language. I am!* 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! I've heard this story before but this is the best I've ever heard it told in detail.
This is a fascinatingly horrid case. There was a later case here in Ohio that also victimized transients via Craigslist.
Yeah, I heard of that one. A man was recruiting men so he could steal their identities.
What's truly fantastic about this story is how stupid both Ray and law enforcement was. You can't evade a paper trail of bad checks. I actually found myself laughing at how anyone would write 1 bad check, let alone dozens? Lol
Apparently a 4th grade education isn't enough to figure that out
Doesn't matter to him if he never intended to be around when the consequences came knocking. And that could take awhile in a time when computer networks were not a widespread thing.
Sad that Ray and Faye could not have made a honest living and worked.
19:05 was not expecting that.......I spit my drink out! XD
A gentleman and a scholar, excellent 👏
Ooh good! Ray and Faye were heartless old folks who picked on the vulnerable. Pretty sure there are more bodies stashed away too...
Each victim = a wrinkle... i’d say you’re right.
One of the most chilling things about this case to me is how Ray clearly viewed the drifters as worthless trash that could easily be disposed of after they were no longer useful. They weren't seen as human beings. Faye had to at least know something about what was going on. The list that she kept had the names of the men and an X next to each one that was confirmed to be dead, and if I remember right some others never accounted for.
She was involved, she made a quilt from clothes of victims
So freaking creepy. That great depression mentality. Never let anything go to waste.
Sounds like she was afraid of her husband and indoctrinated by religion to serve him and stand by him no matter how much of a piece of shit he was
that man sure loves stealing cows..
Cows have been a sign of wealth since the beginning of time.
And bouncing checks.
@ Serial Killers Documentaries I love this channel ❤❤❤ thank you so much for my first premier 👍👍👍
Making quilts from the drifter’s clothes is what did it to her. She couldn’t say she didn’t know what was going on. She didn’t kill them, but she didn’t try to stop it either.
Does anyone else get a “Hotel Hell” feel to this?
It's driving me crazy how he keeps getting caught for cattle theft. Like, bro, you're clearly not good at covering for yourself
Thanks as always for the videos guys
Enjoyed this one. Thank you!
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks😀
Wow I can't believe I have never heard of this case thank you Doc
I know the man who’s well was used to dispose of the last body they found. He and his wife used that well for drinking water. He was a neighbor farmer.
Oh man. Gross!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!😣😣😣😣😣 and of COURSE he was responsible for so many other deaths!!!!😥😥😥
😮😮😮😮😮
Great presentation as usual SKD 🤘🏾
Her quilting skills were lacking. Buffalo Bill or Ed Gein did better
Lmao 🤣 too funny! I thought wow thats a psycho quilt!?
Ed Gein.. now that was a monster.
Buffalo Bill was fictional and based on Ed Gein.
@@scottshoemake3941 yes I know
@@denisebrownstone1751 now Fisher was a sick puppy aswell
Making a quilt out of the victims clothing 🥶
If you make a quilt out of the victims clothing, you knew something.
@@Menagerie_K 100% agree
At least it wasn’t lamp shades from the tattooed back skin
Making a quilt out of the victims clothing,
that's a paddling.
@@unnamedchannel1237 he didn’t want to copy another killers merch
“Well. We’re retired now honey. We really need some new hobbies. What shall we do?” “How about we start being serial killers? That’ll be fun” 🤷♀️
That must be the creepiest heirloom crazy quilt ever hand stitched (no machine quilting there....). For that alone, Faye knew and participated. 🖖🐢
Nah, women back then made quilts out of any leftover fabric. My mother would have done that thinking that the men just left those things behind. Heck, she is always leaving her stuff here! 😂 I should make her a quilt out of her forgotten things!
@@sarahadair7320 You should. That would be a funny surprise maybe.
I love the prison interview she did where she was trying to garner sympathy saying she knew nothing. I wasn't moved, but felt sorry for her until she said of her husband 'If he did it'.
I was interested in your answer but it doesn’t quite make sense
I think her statement says it all. “I think I’ve paid for what I did or what I knew....”
Passed through Rocky Comfort on Saturday. Nowheresvile man. I once knew a girl who was related to one of the victims.
They weren't a bad looking couple when they were young
Yeah I noticed that as well.
Faye made a quilt out of the clothing of the murdered men? That's clutch! Plus I don't wanna be the first to say it but.....faye wasn't bad looking when she was younger.
True
Ray was pretty hot too... Once upon a time. Cute couple, grew old together.. Its kinda sweet and dark.
My ex. Mother in law worked with Faye Copeland at the glove factory
Did she remember much about her?
@@addie_is_me oh yes said she was a very nice person but she was mentally & physically beaten woman. Reva(mother in law) said even at that time u could tell she was a battered woman.
Mooresville is a very small town the main town is Chillicothe, mo where everyone knows everyone
Did she have a sister called Maisie Copeland?
@@garryjohnston7777 IDK Copeland was her married name. I think she was innocent cause he was such an a#@hole she just did what she was told. Many yrs ago found myself in a situation ppl thought I would have known, but I didn't. Still have guilty feelings.
Thank You SKD 😊
Heartbreaking but I've known of this story for a while still always gets to me about Faye
Ty SKD and enjoy your holiday bro! ❤️
OMG! That Jeep ride at the end! 😂
*This is the 1st I've ever heard of this 1!* *Surprising!!* *Thx!!* 👍🤗
THANK YOU for your VIDEO, it's my first hearing your narration and your voice is very delightful.
Then you are lucky, now you have something to binge on :) I'm all out.
I went to high school not far from that town. My parents house isn’t far from their either.
First I’ve heard of this one. Good video and thanks.
So Faye what was it that attracted you to Ray?well,he had a real killer smile.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
There isn't much of a point to make whether Faye could hurt a fly or not, the fact is she was in on it and at the very last knew about all the killing and did nothing, but instead made the best of it contributing in her own way.
Well that just made my morning better, something to look forward to at 7 o’clock this evening, thank you so much for your work👍🏻from Florida b safe all✌🏻😷
man, that's one of the best outro's i've ever seen! great video, and i think the Wifey might have layed it on a little too thick in the interview at the end there.
Great closing! I've been listening to SKD lately rather than watching, so this is the first I've seen the Zoolander-esque serial killer jeep ride! This has made my really sucky Tuesday awesome!🖖🐢
ty tudor another serial killer itch, scratched. great video tyvvm
I can't believe the support Faye got, it's absolutely gross. She was directly involved in the murder of heaps of poor sods. It's painfully obvious the bias on the justice system for this case. Imagine if the accomplice was a man or a poc, there wouldn't be any question of execution.
Remember she was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.
It's irrelevant that she wouldn't hurt anyone if released because it's about justice for the dead and their families.
After setting a timer so I can watch this on time, here I am 2 hours later. Nevertheless, let’s get it.
Sounds like my whole life.
I’m with you both 😀
Omg freaking murder quilt?!?
Holy crap! I live really close to Harrison, Arkansas. I remember hearing about this case, but I never knew that they lived in Harrison! Thanks for the info! 🙀❤
Great video thanks 😊
Great show and I will smoke a cigar for y'all later after I hold my new Granddaughter
Awww congrats Grandpa!
Congrats!
Congratulations!!!
Grandpa flexin on all us right now
Congratulations my friend! I just lit up a fine cigar myself and I dedicate it to your new addition to the family. I wish you and yours a happy life.
Aww, man! Missed it! Well, I'll definitely be on time for the next one.
Faye knew how to recycle
Further proof that at a certain point of continuing to commit crime you just need to be put down.
There are so many people out there like this guy who will just forever keep doing crime until they're either permanently locked up or put down.
Stop wasting tax dollars and time on them and just get rid of them so we can move on with important things
If American Gothic were serial killers.
As usual, the woman gets offered a deal and faces less consequences for literally no reason except that she is female. She was no less guilty than him as exemplified by the fact that she made a quilt/blanket out of their victims' clothing. Did she seriously expect anyone to believe that her husband kept randomly bringing home bloodstained, dirty clothes for her and she never once questioned it? Yeah, no. That's obviously a load of shit. She definitely knew all about those murders and most likely played a role in them, herself. This is why people wrongly think men are so much more likely to commit murder. It's not that women don't kill, it's just because they are very rarely properly convicted when they do.
Cracks me up when he does the girls voice 🤣
The Outro clip of them all in Zoolander made my life worth living I’ll put it that way 😂
Haha
Who is “them all”?
bundy, ramirez, gacy and dahmer at the very end, i think it’s just the channels outro, i could be wrong, i’m new to this channels existence sorry lol
Love your stuff bro
That feet first line got me at the end. 😂
.... I like the way you show a picture, portrait of said subject(s)... And zoom in slightly.... It's Hypnotic..... You may be on to something!!!!!..
Faye chose her fate. So did he.
That’s why men and women should take up self defense to beat their abusers to a pulp.
Faye: going out to the barn, honey? Here, take this nice quilt. It's cold out there. 😱😈💀
Can you believe she made a quilt from the clothes? What a couple of loose nuts
@@barbaramullins4233
Yeah, huh....
*Do their victims look similar to each other, or is it just me?*
*It almost seems like they were killing the same man over and over again.* 🤷🏻♀️
I wonder which one of their relatives the victims looked like? Her ex maybe?
Back then wives served their husbands no matter what happened or how they were treated. My father in-law is a mean old man to his wife, his wife is the kindest woman I know. But he’s a crook, wife beater, a drunk, beat his kids until i met his daughter 30 years ago. Didn’t take long to figure out what he was doing and how he was. I was doing a surprise visit with his daughter ( now wife ) when I walked in his wife was on the floor as he was kicking her with his big boots on, daughter and brother in the corner crying and begging him to stop. He was in total shock when he seen me, so was i, I couldn’t believe what i was seeing. He said to me..you want some of this to ? I just stared at his daughter ( now wife ) and finally said, yes i do want some of that as I grabbed a big glass pepsi bottle from the table and said you only have one chance at me. He instantly started crying, begging for help that he can’t help it. I made him call the police and say what he was doing.
They still alive today but hasn’t been abusive since that day. He still has the odd rude remark to his wife but I just remind him every so often that i hear an see everything and I am still willing to offer what I offered back then.
all you have to do just stand up and speak up!!
my dad worked for them as a teenager. he’s told me their story but this is the first time i’ve bothered to look them up and this is so interesting
This is a weird constant pattern for some serial killers , just like the Craigslist killers in Ohio , may those victims RIP 💜
