If you see you child get molested CALL THE POLICE stop being just as sick as the molestor and keeping quiet 🤫 it’s disgusting and ruins the child’s life
It’s easy to say that now. However, I would imagine that at the time it was very difficult to come forward because her mother had her and the children’s entire life set up around the father. Remember, there was a more traditional set up at that time where few women worked or had the skills to. Also, there were not as many resources for women should they leave their husband and take their children. It seems like this woman had grown in confidence as an adult, but it seems like she would have a very difficult time accumulating the vocational skills necessary to support a family on her own. No statement against her, she was just a product of her time. Also in the heat of a stressful moment like the one they described, it makes it much more difficult to think rationally and plan something as complex as leaving a husband and taking the kids. Also, it is not helpful to blame a victim or a victim’s family member with as much disdain as the abuser themself. The mother wasn’t as “sick” as the father for not immediately calling the cops. She was in a difficult situation and could not have made the choice to call police and leave because she didn’t have the resources and likely feared retribution. And indeed, retribution happened, her husband killed her. In short, don’t blame the mother.
@@pme8370 no your wrong… you can always call 911 and seek for help… And yes it will effect your child mentally… I came from a home where me and my sisters were Molested by my own dad… I told my mom and she never cared… the only that she did was she kicked me and my sisters out of the house…age 15,13, and 14….. my mom never told us why she did what she did…. She could’ve at least supported us till the age of 18… I’m in my late 30’s right now and I wish that my mom did the right thing either call the cops or kicked my dad out of the house… she chose him over us cause he owned a nice home and he had money…
@@zackabee5498 I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I hear you when you say that your mom should have called 911 when you reported the molestation. It seems like your mom was in a completely different place mentally, emotionally and spiritually than the mom in this video. The mom in the video does not appear to have acted out of malice at all when she did not call 911 the moment she noticed the molestation. She seemed to have a hard time advocating for herself and an even harder time advocating for her children. Perhaps I am giving this mother the benefit of the doubt. After all, the people that created this episode make her out to be very innocent and even simple minded. Maybe that is true to an extent. However, she was still a capable adult woman raising children. It seems like she could have and should have done something about what she saw.
Any woman that sticks with a POS after witnessing such horrific acts is less than human and is just as sick. No excuses for them and no sympathy. A real mother would NEVER stay quiet and stay for the abuse to continue just because she is useless and can’t even care for the kids she decided to have
Don't you just love it when Detectives utilize technology from a previous episode of Forensic Files to solve the case and make this episode of Forensic Files?
I've seen every forensic files and I suggest you do too. It can make you a little paranoid of people but you begin to notice subtle things. Additionally, it may not be killers you identify, but you will begin to notice certain traits in people.
Yes watching this every night made me paranoid 😂 whenever i walked every night to go to my job i always looked ay my surroundings and people’s behavior . I just wish our country have this high end forensic technology.
I’ve learned that NO ONE absolutely NO ONE gets away with ANYTHING. What’s in the dark will come to light. Poor lady. I pray the daughter gets healing and therapy.
Christ sees everything and keeps meticulous records, so none of us gets away with anything. There is only one way to obtain a clean record, and that's by obeying Acts 2:38.
What a disgusting man ! First he molested his young step daughter and if that werent enough he takes away her mother ! There are just now category for crimes like this it's just pure evil
This episode sticks in my mind as being extra sad. This lady was just starting to live her life after her life changing surgery. Her daughter is so sweet and earnest. It's really sad that he decided to ruin all that for them. 😢
Just say his whole name and where he's from who is this man who is this monster that everybody in society needs to see and realize when they see him walking
@@fridaym1748 The Jurors REALLY screwed up when they decided to acquitted Casey Anthony. People often think they can "get away with murder," something Anthony believes. She's going to be absolutely dumbfounded when she wakes up in Hell at the end of her life. She actually has a group of fans who totally believe her, too. What can these people possibly be thinking? 🤔
I felt sorry for the mom until I heard her daughter say the man was molesting her, the mom caught him in the act and did nothing about it. Girl I hope your life is so much better now but I can't feel sorry for someone who did nothing to protect her child from an abuser. 😢
The creep husband murdered the mother. Do you think she wanted to be killed, leaving that monster alone with the 3 kids? Think about what it was like living with this thing of a husband.
MANSFIELD - Convicted Mansfield murderer Larry Bruce died April 23 in the Marion Correctional Institution after serving almost 18 years of his 15-years-to-life sentence for killing his first wife in 1978, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.29-Apr-2020
Good! 15 years for 1st degree is pretty light; least he's not wasting any more oxygen or tax dollars keeping him in a nice warm prison cell with 3 square meals every day.
These shows got me hooked true crime around year 2001. Forensics files, body of evidence with dale hinman. What a trip. I was 18-19, my gf was 16-17, we just moved into a crappy apartment. We’d watch this stuff as two youngsters crazy in love.
I don't think the family dynamic was properly analyzed. She was a child and an abused one who just had her mother (the one that had protected her) taken away from her. Also this was 1978 and people were not as sensitive to child sexual abuse. If she was asked/interviewed by an experienced child psychologist I am sure she would have come forward of that information. Never blame a victim let alone a child victim. You've never been in their shoes.
@englishwithviviana I agree! If only! It’s so sad, but children are terrified of the perpetrator. Plus she said her mom knew of the abuse so probably doubly afraid. And kids think it’s their fault.
I like true crime and enjoy seeing cases I haven't seen before. You like shaming people under the regrettable and fairly idiotic assumption that I enjoyed the video BECAUSE of the sadism of the father? Really? Why, because you would like me to wonder if I'm sadistic too? That's your assumption? I'm not, FYI, but your assumptions about other ppl reveal truths about you.... @@T.I.M.E._TV
I don’t think this case should have been left cold. It seems like they had enough evidence that she was murdered in her home. The kids knew but I guess was too scared to talk..can’t believe it took 20 years.
It's worse in the Philippines! A guy used his housekeeper to kill his wife. She stabbed her to death in his car. She hired two uncles to dump the body for 150.00. She only did ONE YEAR!!
@@feelthejoy Yes but still it's just a wimpy punishment for the crime. I think that's maybe what he was saying. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. No matter who the guy is.
It just wasn't done in those times. And she already knew that neither of her parents, stepdad in this case, were on her side. Where would she be placed ? I'm sure she had major fears.
@*Happy GaToR* - re: "Thx God ...." 1. Also "thanks God" for the wife walking into the bedroom to find hubby molesting step-daughter?? 2. Better if "daddy killer" had died in a car wreck earlier, leaving the family, wife to live their lives without "daddy molester." (could God have arranged some lightening bolt car accident?? = then another "Thanks God!")
@@warriormanmaxx8991 I wonder why our society is so rife with murderers, serial killers and pedophiles? 🥶 Do you have an opinion on what is causing this phenomenon for the last three + decades in our country? 💔
Too bad the wife didn't call the police. Maybe Larry would have been in jail and the wife could have lived. And she would have done something to protect her daughter.
Did the step-daughter at anytime from 1978 to when the step dad was caught ever tell the police he had been molesting her? Did the son tell police back in 1978 about being in the bedroom and his Mom not even waking up? The police dropped the ball back in 1978 :(.
Even if the police knew about these two things back then, they still didn't have any evidence to prove their case. These were circumstantial, not scientific evidence. What nailed the case is the forensic evidence they found twenty years later. In fact the police did a very good job of collecting and preserving the items from twenty years ago.
I think the defending lawyer dropped the ball! Larry's car is not the only one with that liner; that road (how long?) is not the only place he could have picked up calc. carbonate. Any vehicle that drove over it and then into the Trucking yard could have deposited it ! Did he ever confess ?
So let me get this straight...a coworker told a police officer that the husband was bragging about killing his wife and they didn't do anything for at least 20 years?? No one thought about putting a wire on one of his Co workers? He brags about murder and your reaction is basically "geez, what a rascal." The actual fuq??
They mentioned in the episode that it is considered circumstantial evidence when someone who dies claims to have heard the suspect admit to a crime. Also, there’s the fact they didn’t have a motive at the time so if they went to a judge for a search warrant they couldn’t get one due to lack of evidence or proof that a search warrant was necessary.
That poor little girl. That selfish, selfish molester/murderer. Too many of these creatures around. I hope in prison he gets a taste of what he did to her.
@@debrasimaloi8429 True, I Guess I Was Impressed With the New Forensic Science, When I Watched This Video. I Actually Don’t Remember Making This Comment, But I’ll Own It. 🤷♀️
Mine! I was only 3 yrs old. My 13 yr old stepbrother raped me. My mother divorced his father, but I was told that we never speak about that. (She didn't want her parents to know.) It messed me up, but I could never talk about it, not even with my mother. Please listen to your children, because you are their world. Don't ever shame them. Peace.
There's nobody else it could have been but Larry. He thought he could get away with it, living in his same house twenty something years after the murder. THIS MAN KILLED 2 PEOPLE! What makes Forensic Files one of the best shows, is that it catches the antagonist in the end pretty much every time. The bad guy gets caught leaving no trace of doubt.
It kind of can but back then they didn’t really know how to. They lacked the technology necessary back then to keep a plant preserved without having to use chemicals that could ruin the dna and kill the plant.
Larry bruce was an evil monster by smothering judy to death leaving their children were left without either parent. This is so tragic. Great forensic work even if it took 20 years justice was served. I pray for healing and peace for judys children. Condolences to judys children and her friends. Rest in peace judy.
I think him having molested the girl was what got him convicted. Thank god it was in Ohio where that shit isn’t acceptable. Had it been let’s say california, where pedophilia is considered a sexual preference instead of a disgusting crime , he may have walked
I'd need more than that evidence. Moving blankets are often used in the car trunk. So forget the fibers, and forget the dirt on his shoes, it's dirt. I wonder how many innocent people are in jail?
Right? I mean people often have blankets in the car and those dirt particles? They could be from any newly made roads. It's disturbing they put a man in prison just because of that evidence
Seriously who else would have done it? He was molesting the daughter. Who would have access to the house? The kids said she wasn’t moving. Those tests are pretty damning matching up fibers.
Evidence might not lie,but if it's inconclusive then it's not necessarily completely true. However,a preponderance of evidence, whether it's solid or not,can as a whole be very convincing evidence.
That was the absolute worst defence lawyer I have ever seen. Whether he did it or not is out of question, but I can’t understand how the weakest evidence on this planet proved him to be a murder without reasonable doubt is something that I am unable to wrap my head around. A ‘daily use’ blanket in anyone’s house at this very moment will have semen of the user if throughly tested. When normal people buy stuff, it’s thrown in the boot of the car to bring it back home from the shop. And almost all road base has lime in it, this means it can be found on anyones shoes if that person happens to walk on a newly paved road. The evidence has a million cracks and circumstantial at best. I just don’t know what kind of uneducated jury was on the panel who convicted him as a murderer with the supporting evidence which had more holes than a mosquito net.
son saw dad burn bed sheets. I believe forensic files just focused on forensic aspects in this particular episode without going into details of the trial
There were lot of other evidence and testimonies. This channel focus om forensics only. The time of death, clean feet, empty bladder and soiled bedding at home, husband burning bedsheet, blood stains on remaining sheets, son seeing mothers non moving body, mentioned forensics, child molestation and him bragging to his coworkers that he killed his wife and got away. What else do you need to convict him!??!
My instincts say he did it, but the "evidence" was flimsy at best. Unless there was more to it than was portrayed in this program, I don't know if I could have convicted him.
I couldn't believe it... The "evidence" was some gravel particels that could have been used in thousands of other roads and the blanket could have been in his trunk on other occasions... Like what?? Those are all they had
@@fruitbatgirl1185 from what I've seen in other cases sometimes gravel, stone, concrete etc, can have distinct properties like minerals that make the batch unique. Either way, as a child molester he probably got the appropriate sentence anyway, having a chance for parole and all...
@@AlphaOmegaKnight77658 yes, but in this case they only said it had particels from newly made concrete, and that road happened to be newly made... Like probably hundred others. They didn't have particular unice particels which only this road would have. But I agree, he ist guilty as fuck

No one thought about putting a wire on one of his Co workers? He brags about murder and your reaction is basically "geez, what a rascal." The actual fuq??
They mentioned in the episode that it is considered circumstantial evidence when someone who dies claims to have heard the suspect admit to a crime.
Also, there’s the fact they didn’t have a motive at the time so if they went to a judge for a search warrant they couldn’t get one due to lack of evidence or proof that a search warrant was necessary.
20 years passed and he thought he got away with this despicable act he thought wrong.Horrible excuse of a man.
That poor little girl. That selfish, selfish molester/murderer. Too many of these creatures around. I hope in prison he gets a taste of what he did to her.
Amazing Investigative Work! 💎🧐
They took too long 23yrs mmmh
@@debrasimaloi8429 True, I Guess I Was Impressed With the New Forensic Science, When I Watched This Video. I Actually Don’t Remember Making This Comment, But I’ll Own It. 🤷♀️
Sad RIP Judy
But ….WHOS SEMEN WAS IT?!?!
I think old Larry was a deviant..probably having sex with men when wife was at work.
Without peter Thomas there is no forensic files excellent
I love nodding out watching this

word.
What kind of parent knows that their kid's being molested and does nothing about it?
Mine! I was only 3 yrs old. My 13 yr old stepbrother raped me. My mother divorced his father, but I was told that we never speak about that. (She didn't want her parents to know.) It messed me up, but I could never talk about it, not even with my mother. Please listen to your children, because you are their world. Don't ever shame them. Peace.
You mean when the mom found out, had a huge fight with the dad about it, and was murdered afterwards so she couldn't tell anyone?
There's nobody else it could have been but Larry. He thought he could get away with it, living in his same house twenty something years after the murder. THIS MAN KILLED 2 PEOPLE! What makes Forensic Files one of the best shows, is that it catches the antagonist in the end pretty much every time. The bad guy gets caught leaving no trace of doubt.
I don't think they presented the idea that Bruce also killed the coworker.
So I did not know Plant DNA could not be preserved?
It kind of can but back then they didn’t really know how to. They lacked the technology necessary back then to keep a plant preserved without having to use chemicals that could ruin the dna and kill the plant.
Why these evil always live longer than good people.
Larry bruce was an evil monster by smothering judy to death leaving their children were left without either parent. This is so tragic.
Great forensic work even if it took 20 years justice was served.
I pray for healing and peace for judys children. Condolences to judys children and her friends.
Rest in peace judy.
I think him having molested the girl was what got him convicted. Thank god it was in Ohio where that shit isn’t acceptable. Had it been let’s say california, where pedophilia is considered a sexual preference instead of a disgusting crime , he may have walked
*Kentucky and Indiana
Low down and dirty will get caught up; I'm delighted by the forensics that caught that fool.😌
It keeps me awake to know many of these freaks are OUT now!
How about the unidentified semen found on the bed ?
Maybe Larry was having an affair?
Wouldn't all trunk liners be the same material?
Bob Souer. One of the best narrators ever!
Who? I'm not familiar. What does/did he narrate, please? I love Bill Kurtis' voice too. 🎉
Peter Thomas, he died in 2016, I think. A masterclass and unique Peter Thomas.
But he live 20 years freely after committing the crime..😠😠
Atleast he died in prison! Was there for 18 years.
Did the sexual abuse of the poor innocent daughter continue after the wife found out? If so, she was as guilty as he was.
If she knew about the abuse why didn't she report it? That would have stopped it and saved her life.
JOnes looks like a character from Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure
I'd need more than that evidence. Moving blankets are often used in the car trunk. So forget the fibers, and forget the dirt on his shoes, it's dirt.
I wonder how many innocent people are in jail?
Right? I mean people often have blankets in the car and those dirt particles? They could be from any newly made roads. It's disturbing they put a man in prison just because of that evidence
At about 6:24 they say the kids told police that Larry burned the bedsheets.
Seriously who else would have done it? He was molesting the daughter. Who would have access to the house? The kids said she wasn’t moving. Those tests are pretty damning matching up fibers.
Dirt isn't dirt. There's about 5 of these so far that the dirt or plants was/were very specific.
What I miss? I had to go tinkle more than usual during this one. 😮
All that waist and he wasn't given the death penalty. Courts failed again. No justice
Evidence might not lie,but if it's inconclusive then it's not necessarily completely true.
However,a preponderance of evidence, whether it's solid or not,can as a whole be very convincing evidence.
I hate the subject matter but I love his voice
What about the unidentified stain?
I am still confused, didn't they say there was a third person's seemen on the bed?
Adding to his depravity, was the attempt to frame an innocent man for his crime. Wonder if he had continued to raise the two children?
That was the absolute worst defence lawyer I have ever seen. Whether he did it or not is out of question, but I can’t understand how the weakest evidence on this planet proved him to be a murder without reasonable doubt is something that I am unable to wrap my head around. A ‘daily use’ blanket in anyone’s house at this very moment will have semen of the user if throughly tested. When normal people buy stuff, it’s thrown in the boot of the car to bring it back home from the shop. And almost all road base has lime in it, this means it can be found on anyones shoes if that person happens to walk on a newly paved road. The evidence has a million cracks and circumstantial at best. I just don’t know what kind of uneducated jury was on the panel who convicted him as a murderer with the supporting evidence which had more holes than a mosquito net.
Ohiya sonny
he should have hired Alan Dershowitz or Robert Shapiro for his defense🤦♀
Look she was DEAD when her son saw her, in any case a pedophile died in prison. good riddance.
son saw dad burn bed sheets. I believe forensic files just focused on forensic aspects in this particular episode without going into details of the trial
There were lot of other evidence and testimonies. This channel focus om forensics only. The time of death, clean feet, empty bladder and soiled bedding at home, husband burning bedsheet, blood stains on remaining sheets, son seeing mothers non moving body, mentioned forensics, child molestation and him bragging to his coworkers that he killed his wife and got away. What else do you need to convict him!??!
I like the old narrator's. I love Bill Curtis as well. The new ones just don't cut it and the shows aren't as good either. Damn I need a time machine.
one of a kind voice, very distinct !
My instincts say he did it, but the "evidence" was flimsy at best. Unless there was more to it than was portrayed in this program, I don't know if I could have convicted him.
Agreed, there have been Forensic Files episodes with more compelling evidence than this one.
The other semen stain that wasn't her husband's still makes you wonder.
I couldn't believe it... The "evidence" was some gravel particels that could have been used in thousands of other roads and the blanket could have been in his trunk on other occasions... Like what?? Those are all they had
@@fruitbatgirl1185 from what I've seen in other cases sometimes gravel, stone, concrete etc, can have distinct properties like minerals that make the batch unique. Either way, as a child molester he probably got the appropriate sentence anyway, having a chance for parole and all...
@@AlphaOmegaKnight77658 yes, but in this case they only said it had particels from newly made concrete, and that road happened to be newly made... Like probably hundred others. They didn't have particular unice particels which only this road would have. But I agree, he ist guilty as fuck
I wonder who’s other stain it was on the bed?
Judy had a speech impediment. 🗣 💬 So she didn't socialize that much until she had corrective surgery. 🏥 💛
@Nicholas Shade - 100% correct! What would we all do without you to re-state what is in video?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 I'm glad you like it.☺
😳🧡
This man sick stomach, I'm glad she got justice
Did you really commit the "perfect murder," Larry?
The narrator makes the show.
Yeah I agree. It's always helpful when trying to relax
