Wow. After watching this, I'm reminded of how good TV actually was when the adults were still in charge. Kudos to the reporter... a real pro. Thanks for sharing.
My thoughts too ! Made me want to cry for the this older man who loved his brother so much and wanted some relief to make things right. I certainly enjoyed this. My condolences to the family and friends this man killed. Two men brutally murdered by this man who could talk about it so freely as if it was a normal thing to do. Taking a life….
PBS continues to produce some of the best content to this day… yet, this is undoubtedly one of their best pieces and should be watched by anyone who is a fan of PBS, documentaries, American history and humanity in general.
A gifted journalist. This is the best story about the death penalty I’ve ever seen. We see that psychopaths rarely have remorse for their evil deeds. Like a malignant cancerous tumor, the narcissism continues to grow.
"Psychopaths rarely have remorse" Yeah.. That's exactly how Antisocial Personality Disorder (psychopathy) works. That's the disease. They're literally incapable of having empathy or remorse. That part of their brain is broken. That's kinda like saying "These depressed people are rarely happy". Lol
@@Daash27’The Execution of Wanda Jean’, made by Liz Garbus and Rory Kennedy is a STELLAR piece of work! Perhaps even riveting! Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚 Stay safe mate✌🏼🌎 Have a care for one another✨🌿
Agree. For them, finding religion and gaining the attention of journalists and anti-death penalty activists becomes their new juice. But they never really feel remorse. Their executions garner more attention than most people will ever have when they pass. But they do face a reckoning, ultimately.
At the end...old man Collier strolling back up to the house, with a strong stride, at 97 years old.... Old men like that always amaze me. My grandfather was a catfish farmer in Southeast Texas. He passed away at 100 years old, and worked on his farm until just a few months before he passed. I remember being in my early 40s and my grandpa in his mid 90s...running circles around me when I'd be there to help him. The last day we spent time alone together, we were feeding his cows. He was 99 years old, throwing hay out and enjoying himself thoroughly. We sat and watched his new prized bull, he was a huge bull with quite a personality. We just sat and laughed as we watched him. I will be 53 next month... I hope to go that long, and hope to find enjoyment every day the way my grandfather did. He out lived my grandmother by about 23 years. He missed her every day, but he still loved life...and lived it to the fullest. My best friend in high-school had a great grandfather that was 103 years old. We went to visit him one day, and he was outside mowing on his riding lawnmower, in extreme Texas summer heat, not phased a bit. I've known quite a few folks who made it that far in life. They've often outlived all their people, they've been through loss and tragedy...but they always seem to still have a zest for life.
That's great, Scott. My paternal grandfather was a prison officer in Sri Lanka for 40 years - saying prison rehabilitates. He mentored his 13 grandkids, passed away at 95 (Christmas 2014) and I still miss him.
That was a great story. I’m only 68 and can barely move. I ve had two heart attacks and two serious crashes. One car crash and one motorcycle crash. In total I’ve broken 23 bones Arthritis has me pretty bad but I can see myself going downhill. Don’t think I’ll make it much longer but I’m not giving up
@@anthonystramella7018 ... Man thats a tough one. Just try to do what you, every bit of movement helps. Even if its not much. Try to be as repetitive as possible, every day. Even if its only 20 minutes of focused movement. Find things that still give you joy. Don't measure yourself by the old you. Do things to keep your mind active...even if its just word searches or puzzles, maybe read some books. Listen to your favorite music. My dad lived to 84, and was riddled with rheumatoid arthritis. He also had a rare disease in his esophagus. He lived with me and my family for the last year of his life, and was bed ridden, on a feeding tube and an oxygen machine. But he still sat in bed and did his very minimal leg exercise and arm exercises. Most people in his shape would have died 15 years sooner. But he just kept going. He died only because he caught the flu, Covid, and pneumonia all at the same time...and he almost had that beat, but the pneumonia just wouldn't ever fully go away. Just try to do things to get your blood flowing. Find joy in the simple things. We spend our lives busting our asses, wishing we had a little down time to enjoy simpler moments. So you can do that now. Eat healthy food, stay hydrated....and try to stay motivated to do a little something for yourself each day. Get a little sunshine on your face, it does wonders.
What a total slap to the family members when he shows a photograph of a tombstone of one of his victims..But to him it’s a trophy owning that photo. Sick…🤮🤮🤮
Totally agree with that. Absolutely should *not be allowed.* He's laughing up his sleeve, having that in his collection of "precious memories." What a total bast*rd.
It's heartbreaking to see a 95 year old man cry. Especially when he's having to relive the very moment he saw his murdered brother. Damn heartbreaking 💔😭!!!!
He was manipulative, arrogant and self righteous to the end. I generally do not support the death penalty but the more I listen to his mouth the better I feel that he was executed. I love how he was disgusted by being buried in the prison cemetery; as far as I'm concerned his ashes should have been flushed down a toilet.
Thank you for proving by example the fact that this penalty is meted out for purely arbitrary reasons - you’re against it ‘generally’ but because you have found good reason to detest him, the death penalty is OK with you. And isn’t that exactly the problem, why not just call it what it is: revenge? If you study the legal justice system you will find that the concept of revenge does not appear. We are supposed to be better than that …
Well, PBS still does that. And there are other places like Pro public or they still do that. But society has changed where we don’t really want to read more than a tweet. So it does mean longform journalism are less and less desirable by the masses.
I had the opportunity to talk with the lady. She was very happy to be able to tell me that she was not satisfied at all with the way, this documentary portrayed her and the situation. That it had been differently. Another example that this film is not accurate in each and every way.
Agree no remorse at all he took great delight in what he did. He didn't even cry one tear for what he did. The man who did this documentary surely you saw how cold and calculated this murderers man was. American justice surely is wrong in letting him pick his own execution dad, once again he won what a disgrace
Yep he still thought in his empty head that he was in control. Also the religion only comes when they are caught and to be executed, all part of the act. Just look how he thanked his old friends, they were just pawns in his game also.
Yet another mind-reader on TH-cam. If I could read minds I certainly wouldn't be wasting time analysing dead people on TH-cam. Tell me, as a member of YAP (TH-cam Armchair Psychologists), does it ever cross your mind that when someone is thrown in prison - onto Death Row no less - and has to live with the consequences of their actions EVERY ... SINGLE ... DAY, for years and years and years, surrounded by murderers, that it might have an impact on how they feel about the crime they committed, and how that might come across on video?
Have the death penalty or don’t but if you have it do it quickly after the sentence is given. This business of 20 years of appeals is a joke. Justice delayed is justice denied.
@Hoblem and that is the one and only reason that's needed to abolish the death penalty... only north Korea Saudi Arabia China and America have the death penalty.. im pretty sure that's true.
I think that public defender is full of complete CRAP!! THE BOY WHO MADE THAT HAND PRINT, SURELY WASN'T THAT LITTLE BOY WHEN HE DECIDED TO END THOSE TWO INNOCENT ELDERLY GENTLEMEN'S LIVES... CAN'T COMPARE THE TWO!! THE DAY THAT MAN DECIDED TO MURDER WAS THE DAY THAT LITTLE BOY DIED!!😠

Seems a bit strange to me. Out here, you have people that have never committed any crime, trying to live an honest life, yet really struggle to stay warm / keep a roof over their heads etc. What a strange world we live in?
The producers really try to ying and yang with your heartstrings, but I could not get past the brutal way he murdered that defenseless old man. Cliff got what he deserved.
Although I never had any interaction with a Bonafide murderer myself, I met many felons on the outside who "converted to Jesus" before getting out. With most of them there was always something different about them I couldn't put my finger on so trust your intuitions I say.
He was a very great man. He wasn't judgemental at all unlike other people. He had a lot of compassion and empathy and helped me a lot when I was in prison I got to talk and engage him. He taught me a lot. It's hard for me to talk and articulate myself due to my medical condition but it's as if it didn't matter with him
All his proceeds up until his death should go to help victims. And that should be his wish as well if he truly felt remorse for the crimes or the families of the victims.
Clifford is only concerned about himself, he said he will take the proceeds and be cremated and wants to be sprinkled in a grand way in Fance . He still sees himself as a special human !!! He is disgusting. As he said he is " going willingly " . He enjoyed being the " savoir " to the murdered family with Bible versed. Narcissistic behavior till the end. I enjoyed this program but at the same time I am mad at myself because he LOVED this platform. He gets so much enjoyment reliving the heinous crimes and the hurt and torture he is still controlling on the victims families and loved one.
ALL my sympathy goes to the victims and their families, loved ones, and friends. None of my sympathies go to the perpetrators/murderers! I am Pam Indo, not John Indo.
I now know I will never watch another "documentel" about death row people. I refuse to purchase the pathetic sympathy that they try to sell us that these people do not deserve. ( I can relate to the victims family members so I understand that was needed )
He said he didn’t need the family’s forgiveness because he had God’s forgiveness. Monstrous. Great film, and Moonlight Sonata behind some of the footage was surreal. Kudos.
i agree with you, it was great music for the piece; i guess the price of fame for the Maestro; however (and this is my own peeve) i do wish that people would stop whoring out the music of Beethoven, whose music is divine.
It’s worse than her being able to save the man. Shes the reason he died. He didnt even know about the guy until she told him. She shouldve been prosecuted
His art and religion and other changes are fine for him, but ONLY for him. Just because his art is phenomenal doesn't mean we should forget what he did to that girls grandfather and the mechanic. If they give him a permanent stay because he found Jesus and got good at painting does that mean we should get some crazy snaggletoothed maniac a permanent stay? Hell yea! By that logic we should let em all live! (sarcasm) I'm an artist myself, and creating art is a very rich, rewarding experience, and that's got to be a slap in the face to the families of the victims, knowing he's having a good time in prison.
The colour and sound is much more vivid than it is with digital. I even miss having to tweak the tracking or having to completely open the VCR and clean out the heads.
Wow this is a very great documentary The journalists really did his homework and digging Clifford's family I'm very impressed I wish they were more like him
Interesting, he said things like: I know it sounds horrible, I was shocked ... He doesn't know or feel anything. He knows it sounds horrible to us and he is fascinated not shocked. Good that he's gone!
If I were in their shoes and was guilty of murder I think I would not appeal, I would just want to move on. No one is gonna forgive you anyway... just saying
Listening to Boggess talk about the murder of the store owner (second victim) is so chilling. Boggess tells the story in a cold, detatched manner and he is ice cold. WTF.
He probably does run much through the prefrontal. After all thats one thing psychopaths have in common. They are emotionally flat and don't have empathy. His perspective is the only thing that might be meaningful. Then only so because there is nothing left. He is cutting his family off. I wonder if he thinks its the only power he has. I dont think he is connected to himself and is only living a fictitious emotional life and has no idea what emotions feel like. He can only feign the emotions
I know people won’t believe it but there’s something to astrology. I guessed that this guy was Gemini and I was right. His cockiness, attitude of superiority over others and constant talking especially about himself as well as his dual personality are some of the traits of a dark Gemini. They are master deceivers, liars and manipulators and are known to be the most sociopathic sign. No offense to anyone.
If I drive a friend to the corner store to buy milk, and while he’s there he robs the store and kills the attendant, even if I knew nothing about his intentions, I could be charged along with my friend. Why that woman who gave him the name of the second victim didn’t get charged with his murder is beyond me. Without her information that gentleman would still be alive!
You ever heard of immunity? Well let me learn you a few things about it and law. The d.a. needed her testimony to get a solid conviction on Clifford to seal the deal for the death penalty which the victims families wanted. If she didn't testify Clifford would've received 2 life sentences instead. So they let her testify and let her go. I'll tell you the truth about courtrooms. It's just a bunch of egotistical sophisticated dummies practicing law there's never any real justice being performed in any courtroom in America. Hope this helps may peace be with you all.
@@nojusticejustus2912 I should have known that. Going through it now with a couple of demonic creeps that lured my cousin to his death. All captured on their own security cameras. Slam dunk case the prosecutor said. ( these idiots thought they turned off their security cameras but shut off their Wi-Fi by mistake ) one conspirator is already out on parole, fighting to put the other two away for at least 30 years. Its an uphill battle for justice and I'm disgusted along with the rest of my family.
@@skipwaldent8465 I'm sorry I dealt with it aswell. My brother was gunned down. The man shot him and dropped the gun and ran off, a few other people there picked the gun up and shot him 9 more times. Only one arrested and convicted. Even though witness testimony says clearly my brother was still alive after the first shot their lawyers claimed they were shooting into a dead body. Money was passed around the only one convicted recieved 15 years. Gotta love miami-dade county courthouse. Again may peace be with you. It's almost as if they want us to deliver true justice so they get more arrests more money etc..
You can’t change a sociopath - someone who can do that to another person. I’m against the death penalty, but can certainly see why others are for it. As long as it’s legal - well, he made his bed and he’s gone now. He exited this world in a lot more pleasant a manner than did his victims.I appreciate Frontline not taking sides. It’s rare in these times.
@@cathyt144 I am the victim of a violent crime (gun shot), and I’m told I’m lucky to have survived. Still, killing people doesn’t stop people from killing people. So why do it? Because you like killing? You DO know that makes you just as bad as this killer, right? Or are you too short sighted to see that this killer: he IS you. And you are him. You both lust for blood. You both have your reasons, but that doesn’t make you better than him. No, you ARE him.
@Donnell Okafor True that. He should’ve been spending time paying back society somehow. Not “scratching his creative itch” - like he was on some kind of extended holiday.
@Donnell Okafor Thou shall not kill means just that. Killing this man brought no one back from the dead. It only made even more killers. If we aren’t careful as a nation, we won’t have anyone left who isn’t a killer.
@Donnell Okafor Jesus doesn’t say “you can kill some people” - murder is against God’s law. And we a nation founded on the Judeau-Christian ethic. Murder is wrong. Always. Tell that to the people who are put to death that were innocent.
Huntsville prison inmate Brian Price was the chef who prepared Cliffords last meal. He prepared 189 last meals during his 15 year sentence. He published a book called meals to die for. Its a very interesting read as he recalls every meal, and every inmate he served
That girlfriend wasn't as innocent as she wants us to believe. She did not need to tell Boggess about Hazelwood. But she did. Handed the elderly man on a silver platter to a man she already knew had just murdered another elderly man.
Is she afraid there will be some more information that comes out and a judge rejects her plea all these years later? Is that why she moves around so much and she's so scared?
You could see he enjoyed what he did to that older gentleman; I'm no expert but I saw his true feelings, his expressions gave it away he got excited for what he had done no remorse
@Donnell Okafor Just think of how many people are surrendered for adoption and grow- up and never, at any time in they're life come anywhere close to taking another person's life. He even said he loved his grandfather who raised him very much. He'd had a chance to get out of that hell he was born into and have a different upbringing however he squandered it all. Today with the takeover in our country increasingly of undercover criminal advocates, becoming "prosecutors" and judges there's no guarantee if somebody gets "life" that they won't be set free eventually. With the rate this country's going increasingly there's no justice for victims by design thanks to the far left scum increasingly infested within our criminal justice systems.
This is a great documentary, the storytelling, music used, narration, the pace, etc. But I think we need to start focusing more on the victims, tell their life stories, successes, misfortunes, their families left behind, etc. Remembering their lives, their families & their names.
I totally understand what you are saying but I think victims/survivors value their privacy. None of them asked to be singled out. Most were leading quiet, normal lives before the crime occurred. As the survivor of a violent stranger rape and beating that almost killed me, I just want things to be "normal" in my world. I went to court, testified and did what I had to do. My successes or failures are my own. Why should anyone else be interested just because I survived a violent crime?
As a crime afficionado, I am noticing a chilling matter of fact tone, like Kemper had when discussing his crimes. I hope in the future that you would be able to take a drop of blood and predict the future of these mf killers.
You can, only it's an MRI. He is a psychopath/sociopath and they have a lack of activity in their brain's frontal lobe that you can see the lack of on an MRI. I, myself, wonder when society is going to spend more time and money trying to identify and manage or cure. One thing for sure is something needs to be done about them making all of us "feeling" human live's miserable!
@@sparks480v3 I think the powers that shouldn’t be don’t want to put an end to all the murders, especially of women. They have an agenda and as Satanists they hate the female gender. Narcissists hate females as well. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths operate like Satanists basically. They thrive on creating fear and , shame in their victim and are out to control their target. They have no empathy and want to destroy the target. They project blame and won’t take responsibility for their actions. They exist on lying to themselves and Eventually they believe their own lies and think in reverse. That’s where the projections come in. Satan worshippers do lots of things in reverse purposely though to achieve the desired outcome. I hope that makes some sense. It’s late and I’m going to bed.
Heartbreaking to listen to the utter destruction of this monster. the lives he took the pain he caused the agony he created. The death penalty was just in this case.
@TreeGrower and that's not true.. did you not see his cell? He was having an easier time than most homeless ppl. 3 hot meals.. a shower.. a warm bed.. someone to talk to.. I was in jail in 2019 and while it's not ideal it wasn't the absolute worst thing ever. One thing most death row inmates are asked is if they're scared to die and a lot say yes. There's nothing scary about routine. About watching tv. About eating breakfast. About laughing and chatting with other inmates.
“He comes off as mechanical, as though he’s trying to convince others he’s human, but he doesn’t quite know how.” This journalist is nobody’s fool, certainly not Clifford’s.
I still believe that the death sentence is necessary and in some cases should be mandatory. There are some people who need to exit this world for the safety and well being of society.
I have a few questions I ask that you consider. Before asking I want to assure you I am not soft of crime or criminals despite my beliefs regarding capital punishment. I'm actually pretty much a lock'm up and throw away the key type. I actually agree with you in believing the world would be a better place without particular individuals a part of it. Okay, the questions: 1 Do you believe the prison system in this country has the ability to keep prisoners behind bars, walls and high fences? 2. Did you know capital punishment has never been proven a deterrent.? 3. What's the difference between retribution and justice? 4. Did you know that roughly 1,700 condemned prisoners have been executed since the Supreme Courts outlawing of executions was reversed in 1976? and did you know roughly 170 condemned people since 1976 have had their convictions reversed because advances in technology proved they could not have committed the crime? 5. Are you willing to accept knowing that for every ten condemned criminals one is likely looking to be murdered by the state because he or she was wrongfully convicted? 6, How do we correct possible mistakes made after the death sentence has been carried out? 7. Is your blood lust so great you are willing to play a role, albeit a small role, in the murder of an innocent person? 8. Do you believe justice in this country is a bought and sold commodity? That the wealthy experience our justice system differently than those without the same resources? Does this happen? I know what my answers are. I'm curious what yours might be.
@@misterdeeds2172 At first I really thought that you were interested in the answers to your questions and what the answers would be. However when you made "statements of facts" that are in fact not true, then you become the standard left wing idiot. So in answer to some of your questions that do not presuppose a bunch of crap: No, I do not believe that our prisons keep people out of society and the rates of recidivism are astronomical which means people were out on the streets again. Most people in prison claim that they are innocent and especially to soft hearted people who they can manipulate. The answers that you find between inmates tend to be more honest and the numbers of " innocent" prisoners is not anywhere close to one in ten. Do I know how many people have been put to death, why yes I do. Do you know how many people have been murdered by prisoners out on parole or probation or pardons? If you wanted a real conversation then that would be reasonable but you don't and you mouth the same old lines without knowing or searching for the true story.
Sadly people have such lust for revenge they aren't concerned about the few innocent people who might get executed. Fortunately these people are aging and dying off and younger people like myself are adamantly against the death penalty and more and more states are banning capital punishment.
@@misterdeeds2172 Let me tell you this. These people are psychopats and sociopats. Why do you think they appeal? They are scarred. But they are not scarred they will die, they are scarred they lost. It puts them down. When they killed their victims they had their lives in their hands. This gave them a special feeling they are something more and they can decide whether someone lives or dies. If they get life long sentence they still have hope they will get out. Watch how so many of them say the state is going to kill them. Yes technically. They killed themselves at the time they commited their crime they just thought they would get away with that. Execution brings the end and they know they cannot manipulate anyone anymore, they know they lost the game and they know they will be forgotten. Death penalty will never reduce crime. Just knowing they want so desperately live is showing you how sick and coward they are. About innocent people being executed. Yes unfortunately it happened but these days they are in prison for more than 20 years till they get the time of their execution. They have their rights to appeal. The death sentence is an efficient punishment for these criminals.
FYI: If you were listening, he said a pen pal sent it to him in the mail. The CO's go through your mail for contraband only. They scan the photos & that's it. They have no idea it's 1 of his victims. It's not like they have a list of inmate's victims in front of them. That's how he's able to have it. 👍 I know this having done 5 straight yrs in prison. 😢
His hypocrisy only goes so far. If he were truly sorry for what he did he would never appeal the courts for release. He would offer to inject the drugs himself that removed him from this planet.
I wonder how long he lived after his brother's killer was put down? You know it's funny but I remember the killer's name but I've already forgotten the victim's names.
@@texasgina I felt heartbroken for the old senior who had his head kicked in, his throat slashed and repeatedly stabbed. This psycho had a much easier and humane death compared to the old men he murdered and butchered.
These psychopaths are mentally ill. Not saying that justifies his actions, and he fully deserved his penalty, but unfortunately there’s no stopping them when they don’t have a conscience or any ability to feel empathy towards others. Thankfully he was turned in after 2 murders. He undoubtedly would have continued killing. The neglect and abuse of children will only continue the cycle of creating abusive and unstable people. This was an excellent program.
Psychopaths are not mentally ill they think they are right to their very soul. If you become one of their victims, it is your fault, not theirs. If you trusted one of them that is your fault for trusting them. They have no empathy for anyone. They normally feel no emotion and only feel emotion in very stressful situations. Hence the animation of psychopaths, such as Ted Bundy, during their trials. They might have been in serious trouble, but at least they felt something. Their real danger is the fact that they aren’t ill and can act perfectly normal, all the while that they are hiding their psychopathy.
The granddaughter is so right, he's the one on death row and yet he's preaching to HER. The nerve... sad how they are void of empathy/feelings/conscience... Disgusting how anyone would befriend these monsters and be 'penpals', doing him favours, selling their art, even scattering their ashes where they requested... those ashes should just go down the toilet.
For that woman who wasted ink on this psychopath, coming all the way from Germany gotta make ya wonder how many screws lose she had! She was right fit for his manipulation!

I’m against the death penalty not because I feel bad for the killers but because many people have been wrongly convicted. If one of your loved ones was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death would you protest against the death penalty? It goes both ways.
That’s actually not true in all cases. There have been PLENTY of cases where the victim’s family have stated at trial that they don’t want the defendant sentenced to death. Neither side should claim to know what the families want without hearing it from them.
@@user-JustMe67 I agree I worked in jails in prisons for 20’years . Life in prison is much harder on an inmate than the death penalty . They have to think every day about what they’ve done and what got him or her there .
The only positive of life in prison over the death penalty is that it costs less, because of all of the legal costs from the many appeals. Having said that hang ‘em high
If you've heard the BTK killer speak of his crimes you will hear Clifford's voice. Clifford was a cold-blooded murderer with no remorse. He thought he was clever enough to "draw" his way off death row including getting the reporter to smuggle his hopefully profitable drawing to an art dealer. That's why he was commercializing his art work, he thought some day he would be free and knew he would need money. How the Texas Department of Corrections felt that he should choose the disposition of his remains is an incredulous mystery to me unless TDC knew his "free some day" funds being spent on spreading his ashes was a worthier use of funds.
Well the funds he earned for his art didn't do shit for him in the end. He didn't get off death row by an appeal and then the state backs off further prosecution. He was executed and as for the disposal of his ashes or body well forget about that. We know he'll be disposed of.
I find it ironic that every monster I’ve seen is so afraid to die they do everything to avoid the death sentence but they sure as hell didn’t have any problems taking the lives in the most brutal matter. Cowards
and yet is CONVINCED they are "goin' to heaven" because they feel good about themselves now . Should've ELECTROCUTED THE BASTARD and charged admission.🎯 Ida paid good dough for that front row seat quicker than a Floyd,Stones or Zeppelin concert.👍
They are sick and manipulative. They have no feelings at all. What drives them mad is the fact the game is over and they lost. So they are trying to grab an upper hand by being religious and thinking they will go to heaven. that will give them a sense of relieve and victory. I would electrocute them as well and they would have to practice going to a chamber and sitting on the chair once a week till they would have the final day.

It's Amazing to watch this 97 year old gentleman walk straight talk and reflect like a young man God Bless Him and the other family 🙏🙏🙏. I'm sorry there are No words for the killer.
Oh Cliff. Dude, after they off you, another crazy person will take your place. It’s too bad you couldn’t control your urges. Your artwork is top shelf.
I never usually comment, but this is an amazing video. God bless you, my friend you deserve everything you have coming and this has encouraged me to step up and help other people.
@@kerra0096 She saved herself by telling on him.... She was scared of him...... He threatened to kill her as well and admitted to it..... Prosecution really didn't have a case against her.... but I get where you are coming from.
@@mattjones8254 She told on him because he killed the guy whose name She gave. Yeah she was scared only because she knew she named him and could point the finger and he knew that.
Manson was “cheerful” in prison as well as an adult as he loved all the attention - Boggess seems like a garden-variety sociopath to me. The superficial affect, grandiosity, mood shifts, and cheap attempts to charm should have been your *first* clue. Plus the comments that seem to blame the victims (for being “old men?!”) are sooooo tasteless!!
@Opal Allen Look around and see the increase in murders, rapes, car thefts, smash and grab with little or no prosecution of these crimes, and convicts released from prison well before their sentences have ended. If you can't see that, you probably just don't want to, or have been lucky enough to have not been touched by crime.
@@alejandrapadron1941 I knew one of them. He died there . Through extensive investigation the BBC in Britain got experts and found this person innocent . Very innocent. This documentary is very upsetting for me. He was in Huntsville. I have got to let him go now. But at least his name got cleared.
@@spmoran4703 Do you mean you knew one of the inmates who was executed and later found innocent? Sadly, there are many innocent people on death row and it is something the US needs to stop.
The fact he is “repulsed” by the idea he would be buried anonymous just shows he isn’t as humble as he wants to appear. Edit: and even in the end he is manipulative and abused his “closest friends”.
So sad to see the murderer get the chance to plan his last days and make all the necessary arrangements for his funeral. But those two poor old men didn't even get the chance to give their love ones a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek with tears in the eyes but still appreciating that moments.
I get where you're coming from but would you rather have your killer in prison where it's like being on the streets.. Access to drugs, female guards willing to have sex. Eating good food. Watching cable. Or make him pay for the life he took with his life..
I look at it this way. If you think sitting in a tiny cell, with someone else, having zero control, zero future, zero to think about but your shitty life and your guilt FOR YEARS, is some sort of “escape” from consequences you’d have to be in a coma. Imagine being that guy. KNOWING that one day, you’ll be literally PUT DOWN….that in and of itself is mentally torturous. The people he killed at least had adrenaline pumping to dull pain. What he did to them is horrific. They certainly didn’t deserve that. But if I had to pick a way to die, I’d rather it be that way than be put down by the State, like some animal. Those people met death knowing they were innocent. Imagine going to death KNOWING you’re NOT. Now that’s gotta be FEAR.
@@drummerboy1390 don't speak on shit you don't know..I did 2 yr tdcj..I was selling cigarettes and I had a guard bring me weed in.

I made money by giving dudes extra food during chow...I wanted my freedom but I made the best out of a bad situation...so if someone killed my loved one..I wouldn't want them to be in prison doing what I did..I would want them punished..so killing them would be best..it's justice for taking a life
Yes, he was given years to change his life and come to terms with his crimes (if he did). As someone in the video said their relative didn't have that chance.
Here we go with the “MOTHER “ BS. My mother left us, she decided not to pick me up for school at age 8, my brother age 5. I remember the beatings and her rage. Because I didn’t eat something she made, she fed it to me as the throw up back in the bowl or sat for 8 hours until my dad came home. At 61, I still don’t eat tomato soup or syrup…My dad loved me but was an alcoholic, so every time something happened I was use to it... Touching my friends or beatings with a belt and calling me stupid. Only until I was in my 30’s, I didn’t realize he was talking about himself. I never say the word stupid. At the age of 10, I was grocery shopping on my own. Only once a month, went hungry the rest of the time. Left home at 17, got a job. Bought my first home at 26, worked at the post Office. Divorce and remarried years later. 30 yrs later I have two kids and I have no regrets. Choices..Make the right choices, no matter how you were raised. This is a very short version. I HOPE/KNOW HE’S BURNING IN HELL I was raised by my mom mom. I miss you and love you. She passed at 65😢
So smuggling a painting is the same as killing someone? I doubt it. I think he has changed. Fellow inmates of his have said that in prison, when there was trouble, he preferred to get beaten up rather than become violent again himself. And he certainly wasn't weak or cowardly.
I and billions of others have had a hard row to hoe in this life, but WE did NOT murder anyone. I spent about 45 years (RN) as a nurse here in Texas trying to save people’s lives and bring people back to health as much as possible. I have no doubt (in my mind) that if Clifford were ever released, he WOULD kill and kill again and again!! My father was a monster, psychopath and was PROBABLY a murderer. He DID everything else!!!! I honestly believe that my son inherited my father’s “bad” DNA of being bipolar and a psychopath. He has abandoned me, but in a way I am glad because I am afraid of him. I am Pam Indo, and I have a MSN in Psych Mental Health Nursing. John Indo, my beloved husband, died about 3 years ago.
That’s terribly sad, Pam. I hate to hear that your son has went down such a dark path. I will tell you, as a son myself, not to give up on your child. I went astray for many years, myself. Perhaps he hasn’t matured into an empathetic person yet, or perhaps he’s in so much emotional pain that he’s confused as to what to do…I don’t have the answers, but I wish you the best, Pam.
@@viciousdope66 don't listen to him Pam.. You're lucky he's out of your life. Just because you share blood it doesn't mean you need to risk your life with that person. All evil people in this world were born from good mothers

I have mixed about executions sometimes, but mostly because are we sure the person is guilty. There is no doubt about Cliff, he even admitted it. I have more sympathy for his victim's.
That's what anti death penalty proponents always claim to justify their position, that you might execute an innocent person, do you know some cases where people were proven to be innocent after being executed?
@@frankpaya690 ...Listen Frank, because innocent people were executed, doesn't mean that guilty people shouldn't be. I support the death penalty. But, I think that the proof should be overwhelming, without a shadow of doubt.
@@rebeccalavoy6655 With most people that have been put to death, the evidence of their guilt has been- overwhelming. Who were some of these "innocent people" that were put to death?
What I learned from watching this is; A murder affects so many more people than you can imagine, for the rest of their lives. For what? Money. I'm almost sorry I watched this. Life seem even more unfair than I thought.
oh and even when their on death row they can make more money by selling their artwork of their gosh darn terrible experience in prison while writing letters to their victims families :D
Fortunately, this freak is a one-off. Most people in my experience are decent human beings. Because they are, Frontline and other programs will never take an interest in them.
John Cummins aka Johnny Ramone said it best. "I'm in favor of capital punishment, I think it should be televised on Pay-Per-View and the proceeds be given to the victims survivors".
Never heard of this guy. What a piece of work he was. True narcissists cant experience true feelings for others or remorse. Just like that friend who came from Germany and was met by new friends. They don't have best friends unless for opportunistic purposes. RIP to the two old men.😰

I know. I cried over that. I felt so sorry for that poor man..bless his heart
My thoughts too ! Made me want to cry for the this older man who loved his brother so much and wanted some relief to make things right. I certainly enjoyed this. My condolences to the family and friends this man killed. Two men brutally murdered by this man who could talk about it so freely as if it was a normal thing to do. Taking a life….

seeing that old man cry over his murdered brother really hits home.
dead right, tragic indeedy
A gifted journalist. This is the best story about the death penalty I’ve ever seen. We see that psychopaths rarely have remorse for their evil deeds. Like a malignant cancerous tumor, the narcissism continues to grow.
If they truly repented and asked God to forgive them they would be saved but you wonder how many of them actually do that.
Check out the Wander Jean story. It's just as rivetting
"Psychopaths rarely have remorse" Yeah.. That's exactly how Antisocial Personality Disorder (psychopathy) works. That's the disease. They're literally incapable of having empathy or remorse. That part of their brain is broken.
That's kinda like saying "These depressed people are rarely happy". Lol
@@Daash27’The Execution of Wanda Jean’, made by Liz Garbus and Rory Kennedy is a STELLAR piece of work!

Agree. For them, finding religion and gaining the attention of journalists and anti-death penalty activists becomes their new juice. But they never really feel remorse. Their executions garner more attention than most people will ever have when they pass. But they do face a reckoning, ultimately.
The way that old man's brother tried to stifle his tears. Just heartbreaking
Maren how could I find your case
He shouldn't have committed the crime 😮
"The second murder occurred..." No, it did not "occur." You COMMITTED a second murder.
So he was right the first time "the second murder occurred"!
Yes you're correct
You obviously don't know the definition of occur
Using the word "occured" takes himself away from the crimes and being guilty.
Exactly 👍. 🤗
At the end...old man Collier strolling back up to the house, with a strong stride, at 97 years old.... Old men like that always amaze me. My grandfather was a catfish farmer in Southeast Texas. He passed away at 100 years old, and worked on his farm until just a few months before he passed. I remember being in my early 40s and my grandpa in his mid 90s...running circles around me when I'd be there to help him. The last day we spent time alone together, we were feeding his cows. He was 99 years old, throwing hay out and enjoying himself thoroughly. We sat and watched his new prized bull, he was a huge bull with quite a personality. We just sat and laughed as we watched him. I will be 53 next month... I hope to go that long, and hope to find enjoyment every day the way my grandfather did. He out lived my grandmother by about 23 years. He missed her every day, but he still loved life...and lived it to the fullest.
My best friend in high-school had a great grandfather that was 103 years old. We went to visit him one day, and he was outside mowing on his riding lawnmower, in extreme Texas summer heat, not phased a bit.
I've known quite a few folks who made it that far in life. They've often outlived all their people, they've been through loss and tragedy...but they always seem to still have a zest for life.
Bull! He's a. Manilulater!
Lots of murderers in Texas though
That's great, Scott. My paternal grandfather was a prison officer in Sri Lanka for 40 years - saying prison rehabilitates. He mentored his 13 grandkids, passed away at 95 (Christmas 2014) and I still miss him.
That was a great story. I’m only 68 and can barely move. I ve had two heart attacks and two serious crashes. One car crash and one motorcycle crash. In total I’ve broken 23 bones Arthritis has me pretty bad but I can see myself going downhill. Don’t think I’ll make it much longer but I’m not giving up
@@anthonystramella7018 ... Man thats a tough one. Just try to do what you, every bit of movement helps. Even if its not much. Try to be as repetitive as possible, every day. Even if its only 20 minutes of focused movement.
Find things that still give you joy. Don't measure yourself by the old you. Do things to keep your mind active...even if its just word searches or puzzles, maybe read some books. Listen to your favorite music.
My dad lived to 84, and was riddled with rheumatoid arthritis. He also had a rare disease in his esophagus. He lived with me and my family for the last year of his life, and was bed ridden, on a feeding tube and an oxygen machine. But he still sat in bed and did his very minimal leg exercise and arm exercises. Most people in his shape would have died 15 years sooner. But he just kept going.
He died only because he caught the flu, Covid, and pneumonia all at the same time...and he almost had that beat, but the pneumonia just wouldn't ever fully go away.
Just try to do things to get your blood flowing. Find joy in the simple things. We spend our lives busting our asses, wishing we had a little down time to enjoy simpler moments. So you can do that now.
Eat healthy food, stay hydrated....and try to stay motivated to do a little something for yourself each day. Get a little sunshine on your face, it does wonders.

Yes it is.
He was manipulative, arrogant and self righteous to the end. I generally do not support the death penalty but the more I listen to his mouth the better I feel that he was executed. I love how he was disgusted by being buried in the prison cemetery; as far as I'm concerned his ashes should have been flushed down a toilet.
Thank you for proving by example the fact that this penalty is meted out for purely arbitrary reasons - you’re against it ‘generally’ but because you have found good reason to detest him, the death penalty is OK with you. And isn’t that exactly the problem, why not just call it what it is: revenge? If you study the legal justice system you will find that the concept of revenge does not appear. We are supposed to be better than that …
100% 'so dam manipulative, iv met ppl like him n they even look a lil similar
not an ounce of sympathy...no more 3 squares a day thanks to the taxpayer
He also really enjoys telling the story of his crimes. It’s like he’s inspired by his own horrible deeds. He’s disgusting.

Yet another mind-reader on TH-cam. If I could read minds I certainly wouldn't be wasting time analysing dead people on TH-cam.

SINGLE ... DAY, for years and years and years, surrounded by murderers, that it might have an impact on how they feel about the crime they committed, and how that might come across on video?

Have the death penalty or don’t but if you have it do it quickly after the sentence is given.
This business of 20 years of appeals is a joke.

He was such a horrible, unlikable character .

He was a very great man. He wasn't judgemental at all unlike other people. He had a lot of compassion and empathy and helped me a lot when I was in prison I got to talk and engage him. He taught me a lot. It's hard for me to talk and articulate myself due to my medical condition but it's as if it didn't matter with him
What an amazing piece of journalism. Absolutely thought provoking and touching.
All his proceeds up until his death should go to help victims. And that should be his wish as well if he truly felt remorse for the crimes or the families of the victims.
Clifford is only concerned about himself, he said he will take the proceeds and be cremated and wants to be sprinkled in a grand way in Fance . He still sees himself as a special human !!! He is disgusting. As he said he is " going willingly " . He enjoyed being the " savoir " to the murdered family with Bible versed. Narcissistic behavior till the end.

It’s worse than her being able to save the man. Shes the reason he died. He didnt even know about the guy until she told him. She shouldve been prosecuted
His art and religion and other changes are fine for him, but ONLY for him. Just because his art is phenomenal doesn't mean we should forget what he did to that girls grandfather and the mechanic. If they give him a permanent stay because he found Jesus and got good at painting does that mean we should get some crazy snaggletoothed maniac a permanent stay? Hell yea!

I'm an artist myself, and creating art is a very rich, rewarding experience, and that's got to be a slap in the face to the families of the victims, knowing he's having a good time in prison.

I found him mentioning his Grandfather in relation to that murder interesting. Their relationship might explain the overkill.
He probably does run much through the prefrontal. After all thats one thing psychopaths have in common. They are emotionally flat and don't have empathy. His perspective is the only thing that might be meaningful. Then only so because there is nothing left. He is cutting his family off. I wonder if he thinks its the only power he has. I dont think he is connected to himself and is only living a fictitious emotional life and has no idea what emotions feel like. He can only feign the emotions
He has no empathy.
@@brendagroff8478 agreed
I know people won’t believe it but there’s something to astrology. I guessed that this guy was Gemini and I was right. His cockiness, attitude of superiority over others and constant talking especially about himself as well as his dual personality are some of the traits of a dark Gemini. They are master deceivers, liars and manipulators and are known to be the most sociopathic sign. No offense to anyone.
If I drive a friend to the corner store to buy milk, and while he’s there he robs the store and kills the attendant, even if I knew nothing about his intentions, I could be charged along with my friend. Why that woman who gave him the name of the second victim didn’t get charged with his murder is beyond me. Without her information that gentleman would still be alive!
In the example you gave you would not be charged.
I wondered about Her too. She spoke a name. That Man is dead. Some Prison time would have been very good for her.
You ever heard of immunity? Well let me learn you a few things about it and law. The d.a. needed her testimony to get a solid conviction on Clifford to seal the deal for the death penalty which the victims families wanted. If she didn't testify Clifford would've received 2 life sentences instead. So they let her testify and let her go. I'll tell you the truth about courtrooms. It's just a bunch of egotistical sophisticated dummies practicing law there's never any real justice being performed in any courtroom in America. Hope this helps may peace be with you all.
@@nojusticejustus2912 I should have known that. Going through it now with a couple of demonic creeps that lured my cousin to his death. All captured on their own security cameras. Slam dunk case the prosecutor said. ( these idiots thought they turned off their security cameras but shut off their Wi-Fi by mistake ) one conspirator is already out on parole, fighting to put the other two away for at least 30 years. Its an uphill battle for justice and I'm disgusted along with the rest of my family.
@@skipwaldent8465 I'm sorry I dealt with it aswell. My brother was gunned down. The man shot him and dropped the gun and ran off, a few other people there picked the gun up and shot him 9 more times. Only one arrested and convicted. Even though witness testimony says clearly my brother was still alive after the first shot their lawyers claimed they were shooting into a dead body. Money was passed around the only one convicted recieved 15 years. Gotta love miami-dade county courthouse. Again may peace be with you.

Exactly!
Good point
When did you get your psychology degree?
Feeling guilty does not always make one want to die ....
You can't impose your thoughts on another person.
You can’t change a sociopath - someone who can do that to another person. I’m against the death penalty, but can certainly see why others are for it. As long as it’s legal - well, he made his bed and he’s gone now. He exited this world in a lot more pleasant a manner than did his victims.I appreciate Frontline not taking sides. It’s rare in these times.

@@cathyt144 I am the victim of a violent crime (gun shot), and I’m told I’m lucky to have survived. Still, killing people doesn’t stop people from killing people. So why do it? Because you like killing? You DO know that makes you just as bad as this killer, right? Or are you too short sighted to see that this killer: he IS you. And you are him. You both lust for blood. You both have your reasons, but that doesn’t make you better than him. No, you ARE him.
@Donnell Okafor True that. He should’ve been spending time paying back society somehow. Not “scratching his creative itch” - like he was on some kind of extended holiday.
@Donnell Okafor Thou shall not kill means just that. Killing this man brought no one back from the dead. It only made even more killers. If we aren’t careful as a nation, we won’t have anyone left who isn’t a killer.
@Donnell Okafor Jesus doesn’t say “you can kill some people” - murder is against God’s law. And we a nation founded on the Judeau-Christian ethic. Murder is wrong. Always. Tell that to the people who are put to death that were innocent.
Huntsville prison inmate Brian Price was the chef who prepared Cliffords last meal. He prepared 189 last meals during his 15 year sentence. He published a book called meals to die for. Its a very interesting read as he recalls every meal, and every inmate he served

It's amazing to see how death row operated and how freely the imates walked around! The death row they got now, that is definitely inhumane & demonic.
That girlfriend wasn't as innocent as she wants us to believe. She did not need to tell Boggess about Hazelwood. But she did. Handed the elderly man on a silver platter to a man she already knew had just murdered another elderly man.
She's not innocent at all.
That’s right. Wonder why she wasn’t prosecuted?
Probably because she testified against Boggess. Probably got a plea deal.
Is she afraid there will be some more information that comes out and a judge rejects her plea all these years later? Is that why she moves around so much and she's so scared?
Typical broad. Treacherous but no prosecution.
That picture of the victims head stone is just a trophy for him to relive his crime. Such a despicable thing!
Who cares? I certainly don’t
You're wrong & you're judging. If you were listening, he said why he has it. 😮
There are many restrictions on what they are allowed to have and I don't know why that is allowed.😊
You could see he enjoyed what he did to that older gentleman; I'm no expert but I saw his true feelings, his expressions gave it away he got excited for what he had done no remorse
@Donnell Okafor Just think of how many people are surrendered for adoption and grow- up and never, at any time in they're life come anywhere close to taking another person's life. He even said he loved his grandfather who raised him very much. He'd had a chance to get out of that hell he was born into and have a different upbringing however he squandered it all.
Today with the takeover in our country increasingly of undercover criminal advocates, becoming "prosecutors" and judges there's no guarantee if somebody gets "life" that they won't be set free eventually.
With the rate this country's going increasingly there's no justice for victims by design thanks to the far left scum increasingly infested within our criminal justice systems.

Wow.... what an amazing documentary...
Really well filmed and produced.
It poses more questions than answers..
This is a great documentary, the storytelling, music used, narration, the pace, etc.
But I think we need to start focusing more on the victims, tell their life stories, successes, misfortunes, their families left behind, etc. Remembering their lives, their families & their names.
I totally understand what you are saying but I think victims/survivors value their privacy. None of them asked to be singled out. Most were leading quiet, normal lives before the crime occurred. As the survivor of a violent stranger rape and beating that almost killed me, I just want things to be "normal" in my world. I went to court, testified and did what I had to do. My successes or failures are my own. Why should anyone else be interested just because I survived a violent crime?

@@sparks480v3 I think the powers that shouldn’t be don’t want to put an end to all the murders, especially of women. They have an agenda and as Satanists they hate the female gender. Narcissists hate females as well. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths operate like Satanists basically. They thrive on creating fear and , shame in their victim and are out to control their target. They have no empathy and want to destroy the target. They project blame and won’t take responsibility for their actions. They exist on lying to themselves and Eventually they believe their own lies and think in reverse. That’s where the projections come in. Satan worshippers do lots of things in reverse purposely though to achieve the desired outcome. I hope that makes some sense. It’s late and I’m going to bed.

Excellent report. I am a Christian but I cannot resist this: good riddance, Clifford Boggess.
Then you're not much of a Christian!!
Heartbreaking to listen to the utter destruction of this monster. the lives he took the pain he caused the agony he created. The death penalty was just in this case.
The electric chair, gallows, lethal injections, and firing squads should be going 24/7 throughout the world.
@TreeGrower yea but why should the tax payers keep paying for this garbage? Good riddance.
@TreeGrower and that's not true.. did you not see his cell? He was having an easier time than most homeless ppl. 3 hot meals.. a shower.. a warm bed.. someone to talk to.. I was in jail in 2019 and while it's not ideal it wasn't the absolute worst thing ever. One thing most death row inmates are asked is if they're scared to die and a lot say yes. There's nothing scary about routine. About watching tv. About eating breakfast. About laughing and chatting with other inmates.
@Anony Mouse Have any murder victims given you the authority to pardon their killers? It doesn't need to be a deterrent to be just.
What if it was a family member of yours in his place? Would you still be for the death penalty? Just for conversation I say this..
“He comes off as mechanical, as though he’s trying to convince others he’s human, but he doesn’t quite know how.” This journalist is nobody’s fool, certainly not Clifford’s.
I still believe that the death sentence is necessary and in some cases should be mandatory. There are some people who need to exit this world for the safety and well being of society.
Lori and chad day bell for sure!
I have a few questions I ask that you consider. Before asking I want to assure you I am not soft of crime or criminals despite my beliefs regarding capital punishment. I'm actually pretty much a lock'm up and throw away the key type. I actually agree with you in believing the world would be a better place without particular individuals a part of it.
Okay, the questions:
1 Do you believe the prison system in this country has the ability to keep prisoners behind bars, walls and high fences?
2. Did you know capital punishment has never been proven a deterrent.?
3. What's the difference between retribution and justice?
4. Did you know that roughly 1,700 condemned prisoners have been executed since the Supreme Courts outlawing of executions was reversed in 1976? and did you know roughly 170 condemned people since 1976 have had their convictions reversed because advances in technology proved they could not have committed the crime?
5. Are you willing to accept knowing that for every ten condemned criminals one is likely looking to be murdered by the state because he or she was wrongfully convicted?
6, How do we correct possible mistakes made after the death sentence has been carried out?
7. Is your blood lust so great you are willing to play a role, albeit a small role, in the murder of an innocent person?
8. Do you believe justice in this country is a bought and sold commodity? That the wealthy experience our justice system differently than those without the same resources? Does this happen?
I know what my answers are. I'm curious what yours might be.
@@misterdeeds2172 At first I really thought that you were interested in the answers to your questions and what the answers would be. However when you made "statements of facts" that are in fact not true, then you become the standard left wing idiot. So in answer to some of your questions that do not presuppose a bunch of crap:
No, I do not believe that our prisons keep people out of society and the rates of recidivism are astronomical which means people were out on the streets again.
Most people in prison claim that they are innocent and especially to soft hearted people who they can manipulate. The answers that you find between inmates tend to be more honest and the numbers of " innocent" prisoners is not anywhere close to one in ten.
Do I know how many people have been put to death, why yes I do. Do you know how many people have been murdered by prisoners out on parole or probation or pardons?
If you wanted a real conversation then that would be reasonable but you don't and you mouth the same old lines without knowing or searching for the true story.
Sadly people have such lust for revenge they aren't concerned about the few innocent people who might get executed. Fortunately these people are aging and dying off and younger people like myself are adamantly against the death penalty and more and more states are banning capital punishment.
@@misterdeeds2172 Let me tell you this. These people are psychopats and sociopats. Why do you think they appeal? They are scarred. But they are not scarred they will die, they are scarred they lost. It puts them down. When they killed their victims they had their lives in their hands. This gave them a special feeling they are something more and they can decide whether someone lives or dies. If they get life long sentence they still have hope they will get out. Watch how so many of them say the state is going to kill them. Yes technically. They killed themselves at the time they commited their crime they just thought they would get away with that. Execution brings the end and they know they cannot manipulate anyone anymore, they know they lost the game and they know they will be forgotten. Death penalty will never reduce crime. Just knowing they want so desperately live is showing you how sick and coward they are. About innocent people being executed. Yes unfortunately it happened but these days they are in prison for more than 20 years till they get the time of their execution. They have their rights to appeal. The death sentence is an efficient punishment for these criminals.
Why in the world would they allow him to keep a picture of his victims grave??? That's so sick
It only would be sick if he had been proud of what he did. If he was sorry and prayed for his victims, I don't see anything wrong or offensive in it.
I agree! Not only that but why does he have it?
FYI: If you were listening, he said a pen pal sent it to him in the mail. The CO's go through your mail for contraband only. They scan the photos & that's it. They have no idea it's 1 of his victims. It's not like they have a list of inmate's victims in front of them. That's how he's able to have it. 👍

@@texasgina I felt heartbroken for the old senior who had his head kicked in, his throat slashed and repeatedly stabbed. This psycho had a much easier and humane death compared to the old men he murdered and butchered.
These psychopaths are mentally ill. Not saying that justifies his actions, and he fully deserved his penalty, but unfortunately there’s no stopping them when they don’t have a conscience or any ability to feel empathy towards others. Thankfully he was turned in after 2 murders. He undoubtedly would have continued killing. The neglect and abuse of children will only continue the cycle of creating abusive and unstable people. This was an excellent program.
Psychopaths are not mentally ill they think they are right to their very soul. If you become one of their victims, it is your fault, not theirs. If you trusted one of them that is your fault for trusting them. They have no empathy for anyone. They normally feel no emotion and only feel emotion in very stressful situations. Hence the animation of psychopaths, such as Ted Bundy, during their trials. They might have been in serious trouble, but at least they felt something.
Their real danger is the fact that they aren’t ill and can act perfectly normal, all the while that they are hiding their psychopathy.
I agree. This death row inmate has always led a double life: One like the guy you meet on the street and the other a murderer in disguise.
I feel compassion for the motherless child and his hollow experiences that made him into a remorseless killer.
The granddaughter is so right, he's the one on death row and yet he's preaching to HER. The nerve... sad how they are void of empathy/feelings/conscience...
Disgusting how anyone would befriend these monsters and be 'penpals', doing him favours, selling their art, even scattering their ashes where they requested... those ashes should just go down the toilet.
For that woman who wasted ink on this psychopath, coming all the way from Germany gotta make ya wonder how many screws lose she had! She was right fit for his manipulation!
I feel the same way. This dude thinks he is something special. He is trash and needs to be discarded.
Christianity makes even the worst people feel superior.
Yes. This is the kind of preaching Chris Watts thinks he is going to do once he "gets out of prison." He actually thinks that.

I’m against the death penalty not because I feel bad for the killers but because many people have been wrongly convicted. If one of your loved ones was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death would you protest against the death penalty? It goes both ways.
That’s actually not true in all cases. There have been PLENTY of cases where the victim’s family have stated at trial that they don’t want the defendant sentenced to death. Neither side should claim to know what the families want without hearing it from them.
@@user-JustMe67 I agree I worked in jails in prisons for 20’years . Life in prison is much harder on an inmate than the death penalty . They have to think every day about what they’ve done and what got him or her there .

@@GeneralPublic0000 Any murderer could say the same thing.
95 grown man put through that, made me cry!
If you've heard the BTK killer speak of his crimes you will hear Clifford's voice. Clifford was a cold-blooded murderer with no remorse. He thought he was clever enough to "draw" his way off death row including getting the reporter to smuggle his hopefully profitable drawing to an art dealer. That's why he was commercializing his art work, he thought some day he would be free and knew he would need money.
How the Texas Department of Corrections felt that he should choose the disposition of his remains is an incredulous mystery to me unless TDC knew his "free some day" funds being spent on spreading his ashes was a worthier use of funds.
It's unfortunate that California doesn't have more of a like a Texas-like philosophy about capital punishment
Yep!
All profits should have gone to the Victim's family;!!! Outrageous!
Well the funds he earned for his art didn't do shit for him in the end. He didn't get off death row by an appeal and then the state backs off further prosecution. He was executed and as for the disposal of his ashes or body well forget about that. We know he'll be disposed of.
I find it ironic that every monster I’ve seen is so afraid to die they do everything to avoid the death sentence but they sure as hell didn’t have any problems taking the lives in the most brutal matter. Cowards
and yet is CONVINCED they are "goin' to heaven" because they feel good about themselves now .

I look at it this way. If you think sitting in a tiny cell, with someone else, having zero control, zero future, zero to think about but your shitty life and your guilt FOR YEARS, is some sort of “escape” from consequences you’d have to be in a coma. Imagine being that guy. KNOWING that one day, you’ll be literally PUT DOWN….that in and of itself is mentally torturous. The people he killed at least had adrenaline pumping to dull pain. What he did to them is horrific. They certainly didn’t deserve that.

@@drummerboy1390 don't speak on shit you don't know..I did 2 yr tdcj..I was selling cigarettes and I had a guard bring me weed in. I worked in the kitchen so I was eating good and making money off selling food from the kitchen.. paid for my tattoos by bringing burger patties or chicken patties from the kitchen.. I made money by giving dudes extra food during chow...I wanted my freedom but I made the best out of a bad situation...so if someone killed my loved one..I wouldn't want them to be in prison doing what I did..I would want them punished..so killing them would be best..it's justice for taking a life
Yes, he was given years to change his life and come to terms with his crimes (if he did). As someone in the video said their relative didn't have that chance.
Man I miss these older days
When it seemed simpler
Here we go with the “MOTHER “ BS. My mother left us, she decided not to pick me up for school at age 8, my brother age 5. I remember the beatings and her rage. Because I didn’t eat something she made, she fed it to me as the throw up back in the bowl or sat for 8 hours until my dad came home. At 61, I still don’t eat tomato soup or syrup…My dad loved me but was an alcoholic, so every time something happened I was use to it... Touching my friends or beatings with a belt and calling me stupid. Only until I was in my 30’s, I didn’t realize he was talking about himself. I never say the word stupid. At the age of 10, I was grocery shopping on my own. Only once a month, went hungry the rest of the time. Left home at 17, got a job. Bought my first home at 26, worked at the post Office. Divorce and remarried years later. 30 yrs later I have two kids and I have no regrets. Choices..Make the right choices, no matter how you were raised. This is a very short version. I HOPE/KNOW HE’S BURNING IN HELL I was raised by my mom mom. I miss you and love you. She passed at 65😢
I too was raised in an abusive home and became a nurse and mom. Never killed anybody. Sending love your way.
that guy never changed, just buried his true self in Jesus, the painting of the fence inside another shows it..
So smuggling a painting is the same as killing someone? I doubt it. I think he has changed. Fellow inmates of his have said that in prison, when there was trouble, he preferred to get beaten up rather than become violent again himself. And he certainly wasn't weak or cowardly.
@@gabriele_uhlHe murdered old men, but he wasn't cowardly?
@@formerlyfromthefuton8171 I merely wanted to say that Boggess was strong and could undoubtedly have defended himself in terms of his stature.
Its a way to think they got away with it ! Reality call IF he is forgiven then that whole religion is as corrupt as he is
@@gabriele_uhl He wouldn't be the first big strong coward who ever lived.
I and billions of others have had a hard row to hoe in this life, but WE did NOT murder anyone. I spent about 45 years (RN) as a nurse here in Texas trying to save people’s lives and bring people back to health as much as possible. I have no doubt (in my mind) that if Clifford were ever released, he WOULD kill and kill again and again!! My father was a monster, psychopath and was PROBABLY a murderer. He DID everything else!!!! I honestly believe that my son inherited my father’s “bad” DNA of being bipolar and a psychopath. He has abandoned me, but in a way I am glad because I am afraid of him. I am Pam Indo, and I have a MSN in Psych Mental Health Nursing. John Indo, my beloved husband, died about 3 years ago.
Yikes
That’s terribly sad, Pam. I hate to hear that your son has went down such a dark path. I will tell you, as a son myself, not to give up on your child. I went astray for many years, myself. Perhaps he hasn’t matured into an empathetic person yet, or perhaps he’s in so much emotional pain that he’s confused as to what to do…I don’t have the answers, but I wish you the best, Pam.
@@viciousdope66 don't listen to him Pam.. You're lucky he's out of your life. Just because you share blood it doesn't mean you need to risk your life with that person. All evil people in this world were born from good mothers
@@viciousdope66 I never gave up on my son. It was my biological father who my 2 sisters and I had to flee as teen-Agers. My son abandoned me. I never abandoned my son or his father, my beloved husband. I have a Masters in Psych Mental Health Nursing, and I believe that our DNA has more significance in how we turn out than in how we are nurtured. Psychopaths NEVER change!!!
@@johnindo6771 God can and does change people, if his conversion was real.
I’ve noticed something about most talented humans. WE have our dark side. I think it’s a constant struggle to juggle.
These people supporting Cliff’s artwork seem more interested in his art than what he did to get there.
That poor old man. He’s gonna be waiting for Cliff.
😑
No one should care how one could change on death row! They still must pay with death for what they have done!
They should be tortured
Disagree
@@Perfectpearl you do that.
@@Perfectpearl if it was your family member he killed, you just may find yourself agreeing.
No one is born a killer. That is the sad part of becoming a murderer.
WRONG the stages are well known
That woman must feel horrible every day because she told this man to target that poor old man in his store. She has to live with that guilt.
She's aged heaps
I have mixed about executions sometimes, but mostly because are we sure the person is guilty. There is no doubt about Cliff, he even admitted it. I have more sympathy for his victim's.
That's what anti death penalty proponents always claim to justify their position, that you might execute an innocent person,
do you know some cases where people were proven to be innocent after being executed?
Ya big wimp arnt ya!!!!
@@frankpaya690 ...Listen Frank, because innocent people were executed, doesn't mean that guilty people shouldn't be. I support the death penalty. But, I think that the proof should be overwhelming, without a shadow of doubt.
@@rebeccalavoy6655 With most people that have been put to death, the evidence of their guilt has been- overwhelming.
Who were some of these "innocent people" that were put to death?
@@frankpaya690 ...Why are you asking me who these innocent people are?
Execute all prisoners in all prisons on deathrow. They earned death
Beware of the sicko who sent the gravestone photo.
What I learned from watching this is; A murder affects so many more people than you can imagine, for the rest of their lives. For what? Money. I'm almost sorry I watched this. Life seem even more unfair than I thought.
oh and even when their on death row they can make more money by selling their artwork of their gosh darn terrible experience in prison while writing letters to their victims families :D
Fortunately, this freak is a one-off.
Most people in my experience are decent human beings. Because they are, Frontline and other programs will never take an interest in them.
@@tundrawomansays5067 I wouldn't say most are decent, there's too much evil in the world.
John Cummins aka Johnny Ramone said it best. "I'm in favor of capital punishment, I think it should be televised on Pay-Per-View and the proceeds be given to the victims survivors".
Never heard of this guy. What a piece of work he was. True narcissists cant experience true feelings for others or remorse. Just like that friend who came from Germany and was met by new friends. They don't have best friends unless for opportunistic purposes. RIP to the two old men.😰
You just described me perfectly 😭
@@brandonbelongstocharlottef1798 AWW!!! At least you accept the truth. Kudos. Please dont kill!
@@brandonbelongstocharlottef1798 So, your a narcissist and an opportunist, who wants to commit heinous crimes? How wonderful 😳😱
He certainly reminds me of the Ugly Orange Donnie!!!!!!!
I am also a complete narcissist
