I've never heard of so many serial killers living in the same neighborhood.
Only two of them, and not in the same neighbourhood, different suburbs entirely.
Eerie
Ever heard of Seattle? 😂
Strange that Violet was nervous for weeks prior to her death. Things in her life she kept secret .
I really appreciate the work you put into your videos… the research and scripting alone must take a good chunk of time. I love your videos!❤
We appreciate that! Thank you!
Definitely one of my faves for several years!
@@DarkCuriositiesis your sis still doing videos?
Thats the thing with being sociable though it gives you more of an opportunity to meet people but it always increases the risk of meeting the wrong person which may well have been the case with Violet
That’s why it’s Very important for everyone to trust their intuition
Whoever was responsible is almost certainly dead now so what leads can you go on without a clear suspect
It's hard to imagine that they can't solve it, if they think it's someone she knew. I feel more like it was an opportunistic person.
Maggie was also quite a well known actress until the 80s, a good friend of Elizabeth Taylor.
The electrician was also 64 years of age at the time. For some reason, that makes it seem more plausible to me that he could have been the one that killed her. Just thinking out loud but it seems she was fond for bringing company home with her from the bar. Maybe he came back with her, she willingly let him in and then things turned bad once he was there. If you read the newspaper that is shown at 13:15, the actress claims he got the abrasions from her when he didn't want her going somewhere and caught her arm. She tried to push him off and cut him with the ring she was wearing. It sounds like the man doesn't hesitate to become a little physically aggressive with women. I think the electrician could have struck Violet for something that was said or done and he knocked her unconscious. It was stated she was unconscious when she was strangled. He could have panicked, thinking she would go to the cops upon regaining consciousness. He decided to kill her so she couldn't say anything. Again, just thinking out loud. I hate that it wasn't solved and probably never will be.
Tragic. The murder of the elderly is always disturbing and sad. I’m sorry for Margaret and David Rennie. 🤍
Just an hour ago I was thinking of this channel and was going to go back and see if there was any old videos to watch until new upload and then bam! New video notification 😊👍❣️
I love the old cases. I'd not heard of this one before. Well researched and presented as always DC.
Great story!! Thank you
RIP, Violet 😭💔
"Made in jest" about a murder? In what world would that be amusing?
Is that important?
It can depend on how she was questioned, if the police officer was too suggestive.
Thanks for another interesting case! It is intriguing whenever someone lives a double life. It would seem that her murder was a personal matter and the person who killed her knew her well.
You are my favorite of all the true crime channels.
Thank you!
I love your videos. Great job each and every one of them.❤❤❤❤❤😊
Very strage to make a comment in jest about someone being murdered just saying
Fascinating case! 💘
A reef knot is the Sailing name for a square knot. I wonder why that was interesting to the police?
Because few Civilians can make that type of knot.
@@ghostbansurvivor6229more likely got be a man too..
Thank you DC🙏🏼💔🕊️🦌
💔💔💔
You said there was blood evidence. Was it preserved and ever tested?
❤❤❤😢

How can hope for answers remain after 70 years with no DNA? Just a question.
I apologise for addressing you by another name. It was disheartening to realize the error, especially considering the attention I've paid to your content. It's frustrating when even simple acknowledgments seem to be overlooked. I’ve cancelled the comment to avoid any misunderstandings. Moving forward, I'll ensure such mistakes don't happen again. However, this incident has led me to reconsider my engagement with your channel. Farewell.
Cannot tell what you are trying to say.
What?
💔💔💔
