Imagine you're kids find a human hand with a wrist watch.. and you DONT call the police. Wtf
My thoughts exactly.
Might have been reported, but if nothing was found it may have been dismissed.
Mine es well. Not notifying the police immediately, but years later calling in: by the way my children had seen bones with a wristwatch at that spot…
Listened to one recently (Possibly from Top 5 Mysteries channel, topic was Nordic Crime), where children were finding bones, took them home, Mammas said don't do that again it's probably a dead animal. Months later the children go back again and start digging about. When reported, the local police said thanks very much, come back if you find any more clues......😢😮
I'd look for someone missing a hand.
Murderers and kidnappers and repeat sex offenders should be in prison for life with no parole until they die. Never let them out
Agreed. They need to be kept far away from the general public.
Bring bk the death penalty
@@jr7845 actually I’ve always been against the death penalty because I don’t think we should be killing anyone. However between death and letting a murderer go free I would choose the death penalty. Also it’s a bargaining chip. Amazing how most murderers are afraid of dying. They will plead guilty and disclose the location of the bodies when they take the death penalty off the table. Then just keep them in prison until they die
I'm in shock that her body wasn't found. Especially with people finding parts of her. This is insane 😳
It’s frankly unbelievable that this channel hasn’t got a million subscribers already.
Honestly. Is it the lack of dramatic facial expressions, do you think? Do people just hate calm compassionate storytelling?
Ive wondered about this and i think because theres no face of the “host” and its not all clickbait-y might be part of it. What do you think?
Agreed
@@maryscott9430 I think it's the accent.I can imagine it can turn some people off.
@@snook6661 are you serious? She's barely got an accent compared to most. We need more Scottish voices in media so you can get used to it 😂
What I find astonishing is that your children come home from play saying they have discovered human bones with a wristwatch and they do nothing! They should have gone to check for themselves and then called the police. May Red and Barbara rest in peace 🙏🌹
The 1950s were a different time.
@@spiritmatter1553 The children allegedly found bones ten years later, in 1960.
It actually amazes me how often ordinary people have so much pain and suffering inflicted upon them. Just went to the movies, going about an ordinary life. So sad.
So many questions.... Why would a psychiatric hospital posess a gun that belonged to an inmate? Why didn't the parents investigate what the children found? If the body still had a wristwatch on it, shouldn't they have been able to locate it with a metal detector?
The gun was his like all his other belongings, hospital could not just throw it away, sure they locked it up. Parents checking a kid's stories is always dependent on how motivated and dedicated are the parents.
So crazy. My wife, she was my girlfriend & then fiancé at the time, went to Humboldt State University. The area is absolutely gorgeous and the locals are some of the most chill, laid back people you'll ever meet.
For this to go down up there is pure insanity.
Some crazy stuff goes on out there actually. There's tons of young people missing that allegedly went out there to work at some of the many weed farms. Now the cartels are taking over. There's even a documentary about all the missing weed workers.
Evil does not care where its home be.
Such a sad story.
It is but at the same time the second best case scenario in a cold case is that the murderer, unbeknownst to the victim's family, is already in prison for another crime. The best case would be they are caught without hurting anyone else but that's not likely to happen. She may officially be missing still but at least the family knows what happened and that the guy responsible is no longer free.
Thumbs up to the improved audio quality! Thank you for the great content!!!
I think of how utterly terrified these two must have been in the last minutes of their lives. I can't imagine the fear.
Always an intriguing and mysterious day when it's a Dark Curiosities day! 🙏🖤✌️
So often the only words I can say are, "Tragic...their family & friends can never be the same." This case is do different. My heart is broken and it flies to all their loved ones
A beautiful and lovely evening turned into horror and life long misery for their families and friends. I like to believe that they are now both in heaven together. 🙏
No disrespect to you because I love your channel. Arcata is pronounced Arcaaata emphasis on the a. I'm sure there are many Scottish towns I would not know how to say myself. 😂❤
Try Torthorwald, Mouswald. I only moved a few hundred miles.
T'thorald, and Mooz'ld?😂
BFD!
Very hard to pronounce certain words
How heartbreaking, your channel is excellent as always!!!🙏😢⚖️❣️
Love your channel!🎉
Police "lost" gun because they decided to just let the hospital keep him (hopefully forever) and move on to another case.
Great job on this video.
I love this channel!!
Brilliant as always
I love your channel, love your voice it's soothing to me. Keep up your good work ❤
One thing that I noticed about this case was that the clothes were "neatly folded". That would indicate two people willingly taking them off and folding them so they wouldn't look wrinkled when put back on .. not what two people would likely do (fold the clothes neatly) when forced to strip at gunpoint.
Thanks DC, for bringing this sad story to us. I had never heard of this case before. Great job as usual.
You always manage to find cases I’ve never heard of before & are particularly tragic.
Many thanks for all your hard work✊♥️
Lovely voice and clear , I thoroughly enjoy your channel videos. Well done ❤
Perfect tile for the channel... Thank you for interesting coverage
What a sad casem Thanks for this.
Incredible video and story. I have never heard of this tragic story and the actions of Gil are heartbreaking. Thank you!!
Another crime and mystery I had been unaware of. It makes you wonder how many of these old unsolved cases are still lingering. The number must be huge.
Victims and Family and Friends Love 💘❤ 💕♥ 💗 💖
I love your videos 🥰
So sorry that Barbara hasn't been found.It would mean so much to her family,to bring her home & lay her to rest & bring closure.😢
Heartbreaking.
This is so horrible. I feel awful for the victims and families. 😢 Smh. I love how your channel tells cases from decades ago. So heartbreaking & interesting.
RIP Angel's 🕊🌹🩵 They're all in my prayers.
Great job again DC for covering this heinous story. Again it's told with respect and insight. Your channel is absolutely great. 👏👊💯
God bless 👑🙏🕊❤️🩹
Sad case. No closure has to be the most difficult.
Thank you DC🙏💔🦌
Humboldt County, the most fragrant county in California!
Poor people, involved in this mess.
FFFS! Losing the gun, smfh!
Totally agree!!!
Amazing how many pieces of ecidence have been lost by police. Its incredibly frustrating.
Such a 💔case, those poor souls
I an baffled, who can police lost such an important evidene of a homicide, especially a gun, during an ongoing investigation? It’s not it had been stored for decades somewhere in a cellar, even than it shouldn’t happen, but probably easier to understand.
This happens all the time. Sometimes particular evidence, such as guns (drugs, expensive bags, ext.), are taken to be resold
@@janedoe4316 Hmm - might be a cultural difference.
Jane Doe is right or the Police or Police station staff take it for themselves I.e home or personal protection etc. If the gun wasn’t linked to the crime he was arrested for in another district then it’s just confiscated property. Very sad though as there was no closure for her parents.
@@meretofabydos3645 what culture Bc humans are humans everywhere and they make mistakes and /or steal
@@janedoe4316 Evidence?
Very disturbing and sad cases 😢
17 year old dating a 28 year old??
Eh that leaves a bad taste in my mouth!
I really Love your channel DC, ive been subbed for at least 2 years and ive never been disappointed with your work. there is one constructive critique that i must voice allowed. i love your stuff as i said,sometimes i get distracted by your Sharpe inhales in between your sentences and after i notice it i cant stop hearing it, it becomes overbearing and distracting sometimes it causes me to move on b4 the vid is over. thank you for your hard work and everything you share. p.s. i love your accent
Humboldt County is my home . Never heard of this case. Sad
Well... Ugh, I hate unsolved stories, keeps me up at night.
HUMBOLDT COUNTY!!!
Just awful what is wrong with people? so very sad.
❤🙏❤️🙏❤️
The missing murder weapon was probably planted in some other dudes car by the police to get an easy conviction.
You never let somebody take you to a second location. You know your dead at that point. You night as well fight scream or run for your life. Never freeze up.
very sad. that man was a monster.

Is it too long to bring in cadaver dogs?
My grandmother was only 19 when she got together with my grandfather who was about 34 or 35 and this would have been in the 1950s so these sort of age gaps really weren't all that unusual back then
In about 1958 my grandmother who was 23 married a man who was 38.
My dad’s dad was 7 years older than his first wife, my biological grandma, and I have no clue how old my dad’s beloved stepmom, a lady I have very fond memories of and I fondly refer to as grandma, was when she and grandpa got married (I think it was either a 7 or 8 year difference). I think the reason why their marriage generated a bit of confusion and some talking is that they were an interfaith couple that stayed interfaith (he was Jewish, she was Christian, specifically Catholic). Then again they got together in the 60s.
They didn't care about age difference back then i guess
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Arcata” California is pronounced Are-kay-tah just fyi.
This case is horrible, but the presentation is excellent as always. Such clear scripting and narration.
Law enforcement “tell us exactly what happened”
Inmate “I Killed those people”
Law enforcement “sorry, that’s not good enough “
It's pronounced Ar-kay-duh although Are-Kah-Ta sounds very fancy
A 30-year-old taking a 17-year-old out on a date?! In what universe would a parent allow that?
a different time, the man had a job, was stable, and was a good prospect to marry and care for their daughter. times are different now.
That's how it was back in the day.
They both lost their lives sadly.
Happens more often than it should. I was only 14 when my parents thought it was fine for a 24 year old to date me.
Unsurprisingly, the relationship was abusive
My dad was 33 and mom 18 when they married in 1956. They stayed married until my dad passed away in 2022. It was a lot different in the 50s when women married young and stayed home. You cannot judge the past by today's standards. No one today would allow a man in his 30s to date a teenager. I wouldn't have let my daughter, however, back then it was common
Damn I noticed that same point and wrote a comment about it too lol
On your Wanda Beach murders video it won't let me watch unless I submit my credit card details and pay to prove my age, or send a picture of my driver's license or passport. I'm 62 years old. Is this a scam?
Be careful sounds odd 😮
@@earth0128 Yes it sounds very odd indeed. A big pop-up appears and unless I pay or show personal documents it doesn't go away, it just makes me exit the video. It's so weird 👍
@@VMM34 can you block it?
I just clicked on it and got no such pop-up

I luv u deer 🦌 lady!!!
How tf did the cops manage to lose the gun it makes you think that it was intentional and honestly I wouldn't be suprised if that was indeed the case
What's up with the deer?
I'm not Scottish, but the narrator is (from northern Scotland, I believe). Still, here's my interpretation. That's a Scottish Highland Stag, an ancient power symbol of Scotland. In Celtic myth and religion, the noble, magestic stag personifies the power of the Other World (realm of the dead and/or the Gods), the forest and untamed nature generally. They are also prey - stalked and hunted by humans.
The ads are long and many. Otherwise, brava.
I've always been curious as to how evidence ends up missing. Obviously, there are different reasons, but I haven't heard of any besides when evidence gets destroyed (fire, flooding, etc.).
While the public seems to love to assume foul play is involved every time, that's highly unlikely...especially when there are hard working investigators involved.
Does anyone have experience in LE who can shed some light on this perplexing subject?
Sometimes they move stuff around, change storage rooms or buildings and items get misplaced in the shuffle. I remember a case in which the evidence from one case accidentally went into boxes related to another case and the cold case investigator searched every single evidence box in storage to find it.
@rockstarofredondo Oh man. That would be frustrating. I would love to know exactly what happens when things go missing - like the actual moment it happens. How does a box of evidence get lost?? I wish a detective would step up and explain it.
@@VioletJoy just like anything else gets lost anywhere. Something gets taken out probably for research purposes, then accidentally returned to the wrong place, or not returned immediately and then eventually ends up in a desk drawer or moved by another employee in the building. Boxes can break, especially older boxes. Much of the forensic evidence that may have biological material on it has to be stored in paper so the paper breaks down over time and things can slip out of ripped bags and folders. Imagine the amount of evidence that stays in an evidence storage facility, then imagine how difficult it would be to be totally perfect in keeping that volume of tiny little items organized, sometimes for decades.
Summer 🏝️ of 1950 was hot 🥵🔥 as hell
A 28 year old dating a 17 year old..?
Early zodiac ?
algorithm
Same 🤣
Age gap is kinda ridiculous!!!!
I don't understand how you can do so much research, write a script, and put together these visuals but not actually look up how to simply pronounce these location names correctly.
Such a terrific channel 👍
It's because Americans don't spell anything properly 😂
Rude.
This comment is to help keep the algorithm monster fed.🎥🎞
