I love hearing “solved”!
Dude.. you've changed!
Me too! Such a result!
@@teaspoonsofpeanutbutter6425 who me? 😃
@@jasonhorton aye, you! Well, your photo. Caught me off guard!
@@teaspoonsofpeanutbutter6425 😀
These genealogy DNA advances are absolutely brilliant. Solving so many cold cases that would other wise just grow colder. Amazing!
I agree! And I'm sure it's got a lot of old criminals shaking in their boots knowing that these decades old cases are being solved. I love it!
@@albtckl They really don't care, they mostly forget that they were being investigated but knew it was gonna happen later on.
There was a case here a 10 year old right here in my nieghborhood! Her father was the number 1 suspect ruined their marriage & he never came back from it their whole family fell apart! Then it was alleged that it was a man named Custer one of her sister's biker friend's! Well years later they put the DNA into the data base! It turned out the guy who done it was already in prison & he was 16 years old at the time of the murder & rape! Someone that wasnt even a suspect! He had a bad family life & was a troubled person! Even after this all occured & had spent alot of time off & on in jail & prison! It makes sense as she was found in a barn that kids hung out at quite often before & after school! These barns were torn down by the farmer! Later it was sold off & there's ton's of houses there now! 😒😒😒😒😒😒
I think it's very likely he did commit other attacks after Susan. That kind of men usually do.
yeah.. especially since he got away with it for so long
@@dontstalkme2405 His job could have been his alibi, but it was also his way of getting paid to stalk. Who knows how often he used his access to commit crimes?
I am glad it wasn't the clown. Since they had a friendship of some kind her brother does not have to live with the murderer being somebody Susan trusted. Goodness knows that enough evil was brought on Susan and her family. R.I.P. Susan!
I don't think the victim's family ever actually recovers
It's tragic how the actions of one sick individual can damage the lives of so many; Susan Galvin, her mother, her siblings and even the perpetrator’s innocent sons. I am appalled that this killer was a trusted security guard. So glad this case was finally solved. God bless Det. Norton!
If he was a security guard at the Seattle center he almost certainly would have been talked to by the police. It would be interesting to see if there were notes of the interview
Whatever he told police, they didn't see him as a suspect.
Growing up I went to the Seattle center every weekend with friends. Mom would always say to be... dont talk to any clowns... one time I finally asked her why and she told me about Susan’s murder and that most people thought it was the clown that killed her. Finally some peace for Susan’s family!
And peace for Punchy the clown.
That poor clown
Really surprised they never suspected him, considering he worked as a security guard in the building. They should have checked all staff.
He probably had a fake alibi
Have you ever checked the history of Seattle's police department? You can search it and draw your own conclusions about them in the 1960s and 1970s (Ted Bundy's criminal career).
Not the first time 'the security guard did it'. We had a number of rapes at my college campus. Yeah, guess who.
It is because everyone is brought up to trust security guards/police officers, so their guard is down.
I love that your final comments on cases like this is basically "you're next" for the people who have committed murders decades ago. Instills fear and anxiety in those who did the same thing to their victims and their victims' communities all those years ago.
"No parent should have to bury their child." I've heard those words before, but when you said them, it pierced my heart. Truer words have never been spoken. As a mother, I can not agree with you more.
It's a club any of us would give our own lives to not have been forced into.
Or a father. We lean toward taking vengeance on the perp
as the last surviving sibling of three, it reallly is horrible to watch it happen
I just did a quick google search to verify spelling and discovered they’ve reopened the Oakland County Child Killer case and have made progress thanks to DNA! The main suspect is still alive, I hope to see it solved soon.
I live in Oakland County, MI .... will have to google it
@@HelenNaum my mom is a Detroiter and she talked about it when I was younger. She would have been in her early 20s at the time. One of the mothers had gone on tv with a plea to bring her child home and how she wanted to give him his favorite meal. When they did the autopsy they found he had been given what his mom said was his favorite right before he was killed. It really stuck with me.
I can’t see any recent update whatsoever from a Google or TH-cam search. Could you send me a link or elaborate please,
I had heard this case was solved, but I didn’t realize that Susan was killed in that specific garage. I’ve been using that garage for decades whenever I go to the ballet. It’s so sad and eerie to know someone was brutally killed in there. I’m glad this was finally solved in time for some of her family members to find out. RIP.
I've used that garage for many years as well. So sad. I'm glad her case is finally solved. May she rest in peace.
The best thing about the advances in DNA genealogy/technology is that no murderers are completely safe and no victims are completely lost.
Unless the specimen is lost, or degraded from improper storage, Or not collected by the police to start with.
I’ve always been amazed at how fast technology is changing in DNA/Forensic Testing.
Me too. I know where I am in the UK I think it has been used a little bit (the genealogy aspect for cold cases) I really hope it becomes more mainstream and used all over to finally get justice for victims and their families of cold cases that have been unsolved for way too long. Here's hoping it becomes a huge part of police investigations. I'm not sure atm if it is used all over the world. It definitely should be.
Having fun going through your videos - you are a great storyteller!
Sounds like she was a cool independent girl, may she rest in peace.
Its pretty common for men to murder women they don't know, when they are having problems with their wife or girlfriend. Since he got divorced its not so hard to think he was taking out his aggression towards his wife on an innocent woman.
My deepest condolences to the family, friends and acquaintances of Susan Galvin. I love to see murder cases "solved," even though I know it won't bring back the deceased person. I also know it will not "unbreak" the loved ones hearts, but at least they can say the case was "solved." Gabby, continue to do the outstanding investigation of your vital channel and solving these horrific cases. Take care 🦋
I’m so happy to hear that Susan and her family received justice just by knowing who the killer was❤️❤️ Her family can finally rest knowing that Susan is resting in peace. RIP Susan, your life was cut to short but your memory lives on❤️❤️ Frank is somewhere that you don’t want to go after death I believe. Forever paying for his selfishness and cruelty! Thank you Gabby for this interesting case and showing us how amazing technology is becoming😘
You do a great job humanizing the victims
She really does do a great job.
As someone that used to be a records clerk for a police department that I still work for but in another position, this really hit home. She definitely had so much potential, and knowing the job duties, a heart of soul. Glad that the work by initial investigators decades later paid off, it must have really hung over their heads during their lifetime. I'm sad they never got to see the fruition of their hard work.
Love your channel. It is so reassuring to other families of cold case victims when cases like these are solved. Better late than never.
Yes, i agree.
It wasn’t just that he was not convicted of the crimes in the 70’s that his DNA wasn’t entered into CODIS but CODIS wasn’t created until 1990. Although he had to have been convicted at least on the larceny charges because he served 9 months for it
Punchy may have acted the way he did because it could have been his way of dealing with grief- denial. Maybe he had metal health issues and this was his way of dealing with the loss of a friend.
I've been researching genetic genealogy for school this week. Such a coincidence that you post this video. It's such a great new technique that will probably help out a lot in the future.
It's a sign that it may be your calling. ❤
Gabby, the honor it must be to help give these people a voice again, which was taken from them too soon.
This must have been very hard on the family and to wait so long to know who did it. Yes, they should use Frank's DNA to try solving other crimes
Gabby notication pops up.....must stop whatever I'm doing and watch!!!!! Thank youuuuu and happy valentines day 💕 💖 💗 ❤ 💓
PS you look great in red !!
Amina and Sara break my heart. I cry every time. I know it was their father, BUT, their mother hand delivered them to him. Therefore, to their death. She knew what was going to happen! 😡
You have such obvious care and decency in your handling and presenting of these cases🤘🏽♥️
I'm not sure if there's a way for this to be done, but having a program (maybe even an automated program) where fingerprints are compared to cold cases after they are taken seems like it might help at least give the police some leads. If when he was arrested, his fingerprints had been run against Susan's case, police might have been able to bring her killer to justice.
Unfortunately, fingerprints would be useless in this case. He had a legitimate reason for his fingerprints to be at the scene of the crime.
I feel like punchy knew something. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d committed the crime together.
That's what I said out loud... weird honestly. Why would he act so strange if he didn't at least know something.
No DNA. match
@@farawla9465 He may have had sociopaths' tendencies himself....no feelings... dosent mean he was in on it.
@@glowinggold9488 you don’t need to teach a psychologist. Thanks. I merely mentioned his odd behaviour. We as professionals would find it strange when analysing the situation. As they did.
@@glowinggold9488 doesn’t mean he wasn’t either.
wait a minute
are telling me
that they had his fingerprints SINCE THE BEGINNING but never even... idk - "crossmatched" the collected data with the available database? this is ... preposterous. This is absurd. How come?
He lived a full life only because ..
omg i cant even
Back in the day, they had to physically go through cards. No databases or computers
@@auroraborealis6009 but bro, not a single mind in that age had the "brilliant" idea of manually (even tho it being a lot of work) matching fingerprints across regions/states?
I mean it was public interest to know who among us are murderers
if it was "too much work" - ok, than CREATE another positions/department to handle exclusively this.
This is ridiculous
bunch of incompetents
@@JuneCarpenter35 Yeah, I know - a FULL life for my standards when you consider the kind of monster he was... to live until 50 years, build a family, and be free from judgment?
yes - A full life.
@@rezopolis says you typing on a computer or a smartphone . Don’t say that, they did what they could at the time, stop being ignorant
@@Amy_Stanmore No.
They could've done better if they were better organized and the top management of the corporation had a "vision".
Stop being conformed.
It is great that the case was solved but it is unfortunate that the perp got away with it. I am with you Gabby, I would not be at all surprised if there were other victims. From what I have seen in cases like this people that commit a brutal rape and murder have a history of committing violent crimes. It is worthy of note that Ted Bundy used to claim to be a policemen in order to lure victims. I pray for the repose of Susan's soul and for the family and friends left behind.
No one ever truly gets away with such crimes. There is a price to pay........
Right when I need you ❣️😭 thank you for the 30 min distraction. ILYSM 😘
Its just like she knows lol ❤
ILY2 ♥️
@@gabulosis Isn't it interesting that BillGates has his offices next to the Space Needle and the city had the 1st ever case of the rona19 in the States?! They do love to mock us. If you want to know more about these coincidences please go check out Gematria Effect Sports and look any video with Seattle in the title you won't be disappointed.
Currently 1 am but you know damn right I'm going to stay up and watch this video.
Same here. Now it's 1.30 and I can go to sleep in the knowledge that sometimes answers can be found.
Good night everybody
Great video as usual! You always do these in such a classy and respectful way.
I live in seattle. It's such a dangerous place now. I'm not allowed to cross my street alone or go out at night. I am only aloud to go places in a group because of how dangerous its gotten
You're only allowed? Are you a minor?
@@susanfudge1737 yes
he ... worked there ... and had a history ... and was never under the police's raidar ... ?????? excuse me
Fake alibi
This rips my heart out. How in the HELL did they have his fingerprint the whole time and never put it together with that?? Poor Susan. Robbed of her innocence and her life. Gabby this one was fantastic 🌸
I've heard some parents who have lost a child said it's a pain like no other. I would put money on it he thought he got away with murder at least until the 90's. He was dead wrong. DNA got that ass.
The killer did not get away with murder. He had to face God when he died. I am so sorry for this family. But am thankful it was finally solved.
I wonder what his children think... did they suspect him? were they close? what do they say to their children?
God I hope that sum more of these cases get solved all we can do is keep them alive in the publics mind to get justice lots love x
Perfect timing!! I needed something new and you came through :) love your channel!
I wonder how the victim’s family feels about the killer being found even though he’s dead. Like, are they still happy to have it or would they prefer to not have it if they can’t get justice?
Perfect case to highlight Forensic Genealogy. With a Killer that was never on the radar, without the Genetics it would never have been solved.
It could have been solved. Police had a fingerprint, but did not fingerprint all the men who worked at Seattle Center, for starters. Had they done so, the case would never have become a cold case.
@@buyerbware25 - If I had been the lead on this case, I would have.
Another incident proving that sexual assault (and even murder) can be done by someone no one would have expected.
Exactly!
My theory:
He was trying to impress her by claiming to be a cop.
She knew he wasn't. He knew that she knew, & he didn't want her to rat him out
Sounded like he was pulling the same stunt as Ted Bundy.
I think he may have tried to hit on her. She rejected him... mabe insulted him and he went nuts.
Literally one of my favorite 🤩 youtubers
I feel for her family and I'm glad they finally have answers but the one thing the should b thought about is his kids and how they are coping with finding out their father was a murder
I know. Can you imagine finding out one day that your father was a cold-blooded killer?
FACT : NO family member should have to go through the type of HELL that Susan’s family went through or the different type of HELL that the killer’s two sons went through AFTER they found out what kind of MONSTER their dad was
I definitely was wondering if it was some other employee in the center. Its amazing hearing how this was solved and I keep seeing many older cases or even unsolved, went cold, but not as old, being solved. And it's amazing, I love hearing about that because I love that DNA forensics and Genetic Genealogy advances are helping give answers. In some cases the killer may already have passed or be older, but having answers, and knowing who did it. Is a great thing ☺
Hi Gabby I remember hearing about her case on this show forensic files. Knew her name rung a bell. I'm so happy her family has closure. ❤️
I knew it!! As soon as you said the garage was locked up and she was killed there, I said "gotta be a security guard!" So obvious!!! Why didn't they check the security guards???
What a shame!! Creep!!!
Rest eternally peaceful, Susan.
If he was a security guard at the city centre, then no doubt he was familiar with her, maybe even knew her schedule, since he would have seen her around possibly. It wouldn't surprise me if he planned this.
predatory stalker
Hi Gabby I am so glad that DNA and genealogy helped solve this old cold case of Susan Galvin. She was a very pretty lady. Too bad she met with foul play. I always wanted to go back to the 1960’s. So much crime even back in the days. Well I hope you stay well and safe 👍🏻🤞
I love these old cases. It's so amazing that they're being solved.
And I love Gabby obviously! 😍👑👑
Finally early! I absolutely love your channel 🖤
Hi Gabby! Hope you are doing well! 😃
Clowns are terrifying and this case reminds me of a Chinese drama I used to watch with a clown who kidnapped someone.
I am so glad for the advances of DNA technology to help solve many cold cases. Susan’s family is finally getting answers. My heart goes out to her mom and the heartache she must have felt for the rest of her life. I believe as you do that he must have other victims out there. I can’t see him stopping after killing Susan. If he was my dad, it would totally mess me up.
I can relate to Susan's family as my cousin was murdered in the early 90s and is a cold case. On the flipside, imagine your dad or husband turning out to be a murderer. That has to be really difficult too.
In some cases, such knowledge would be a shock to the killer's family; in many others, no shock at all.
I always think of how it must have been so much harder solving murders pre-dna...😥
I remember watching a kiddies news programme on the BBC back when the 'we've cracked the dna code' announcement was made. We knew it was a biggie, but geeze, the advances made in that 35 yrs since have been astronomical!
Great upload Gabby🌷
The Seattle PD (King county) has been doing amazing work lately, too! Just gave a jane doe her name back- who was the youngest victim of Gary Ridgeway (the green river killer). She was 14 years old when she was murdered in 1984.
Fun fact: Gary Ridgeway took my aunt on a date shortly before he was caught. She said he was adamant he take her home after and she kept saying no thanks. She's so lucky to he alive!! He also lived down the street from my coworker, she said he was always friendly. So crazy!! Love these cold cases that eventually get solved. 💓
I hope they go through other cases in that time frame. A good chance this wasn’t his first & last.
I wonder why they never questioned or looked anyone who worked at the space center??
Especially since she was found in a locked elevator. All they had to do was run their finger prints
Gabby, do you know if they entered his DNA into CODIS? If so, they may solve other cases as well.
These DNA technologies are only going to get better in the future as technology advances. Crimes old and new will be solved quickly and efficiently. Eventually they will work back through many of these cold cases.
I really enjoy hearing about solved cases. It's often bittersweet but feels good to know.
I think Punchy the clown knew or had a very strong inkling as to who had done it hence his behaviour
Happy Valentine’s lady is red! ♥️♥️♥️
Love what you do Gabby!!! Xx
Thank you for covering this case, Gabby! I remember when it came on the local news that it was finally solved: it was such great news! Hoping more and more cases are solved as these advancements in technology continue.
Hello from seattle! Cool to see this case finally solved!!
Good job Gabby. I liked how you touched on the affect this situation has on the perpetrator's family as well. When someone commits a heinous crime like this,they not only commit incredible damage to the victim's family...but when their crime come's to light years later that affect is boomeranged back on to their own family as well. As someone mentioned below sometimes these crime's are done by a seemingly "normal" person that nobody would have expected. Has to be a complete shock to that person's family/children.
I used to work at the Seattle center!!
I figured the reason why his DNA wasn't in CODIS is his criminal history was from a time before DNA collection was a thing.
Sounds like security guards should be required to submit DNA specimens as well as fingerprints as a condition of employment.
I love the idea of all these terrible sub-humans walking around cocky, thinking they've gotten away with everything but being VERY WRONG. I know sometimes it IS too late to catch them and make them pay on EARTH, but with these advances, FEWER and FEWER scumbags are living out their entire lives without the past catching up with them! I hope they're watching these advances and starting to look over their shoulders and sleeping less peacefully after every one of these cold cases being solved by DNA!
If the Clown was so close to Susan, I wonder if he noticed that this security officer was watching her, in a suspicious way... Or if she ever told him that she felt uncomfortable around this guy. I mean Punchy could probably redirect the investigation towards this man, but he didn't... probably out of fear. Anyway, so unfair that he was never catched.
Thank you for sharing! I’m from and live in Seattle and I never heard of this case.
I do wonder if any member of his family was not surprised that he did this or if he had them all fooled. He clearly had issues and I doubt this was his only murder.
They said his son was very cooperative. He might have hated his dad and was thrilled.
I think Punchy was more of the I have no idea category, than just plain unhelpful!! seriously if you have absolutely no idea what happened, how are you going to help???
There was actually some measure of justice delivered: Punchy the Clown was definitively cleared. Justice isn't just about finding the guilty, it is about clearing the names of the innocent.
Different people react differently, some more differently than others. I'm glad that in this time and age, there is a smaller risk than people who don't act "the way they should" are accused and/or convicted just based on their unusual reactions.
Although I will never understand how people will send their DNA through the mail, I am certainly happy these crimes are being solved, for the families.
I'm glad you covered this case. I'm from Seattle, and I don't think Susan's case has been given enough attention. I hadn't realized exactly which parking garage the murder had happened in, so it was weird realizing how many times I've been in there. I hope her case being solved has brought some measure of relief to her family.
I bet you would love the channel "they got away with murder" because the cases are so vintage!! And his narrating voice is smooth as honey and he goes into so much detail. I love hour+ videos
You said he was a security guard in the area. And she used that parking garage a lot. It make sense that he had become familiar with her habits, knew the garage would be secluded, and took the opportunity to do what he did.
I wonder if his kids thought back over their childhood and started to recognize what else he may have done....
Anyone wonder if Punchy had anything to do with assisting the security guard? The way he allegedly didn’t care but also was sweet to Susan prior to her murder, it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that he may have been working with the security guard.
The guy was a security guard at the Seattle Center at the time she was killed?
And noone thought to look at him as a suspect?
Really?
I'm so happy you uploaded! I discovered magellan tv because of you and I cannot get enough of it! Love your content ❤️
yay that is so awesome and thank you! 💕
@gabulosis Hi Gabe do you have an affiliate for personal protection devices, please? My sister has just moved to America and I'd like to send her a personal safety pack. It scares me she has moved to California. Thank you.
I'm not sure about the laws in California, but in my state, you can own a gun and open carry.
@@mascara1777 she isn't an American citizen yet. Ps we are from Australia general population doesn't have guns. Only 4 types of people here have guns. Criminals, police, farmers and gun club enthusiast.
wanny fairy A taser is legal in most places, as well as pepper spray, and whistles. My ex roommate also had a keychain with a really big safety pin, Im talking like a inch and a half long. It was huge, but in a pinch could be used as a weapon. Knowing the basics of self-defense.
I know they have dna in the Jon Benet Ramsey case. Why aren’t they running it through the familial genealogy system?
I'm glad Seattle Police never gave up but I do feel sorry for his two sons because their whole life was built on a lie
Punchy is such a weird person in all of this. Especially since he had this friendship going on with her. Even if he didn't want to help with the case you would think that he would be upset in some way about her death but he just...didn't care. Maybe he didn't kill her, but I still think there's something the matter with a person who can be friends with someone and then just not care at all when they die.
I think the police should examine their cold cases as it could mean closure for their families. I think he approached Susan in his uniform which would put her at ease, he tried it on and she said no, he lost it and killed her. Evil man no sympathy for him at all.
Totally not related to the case but I love how you say somebody.
Another one gets away. This is why I hate humans so much. I'll stick to my animals.
same!!!
I know this is a serious case but I can't help but laugh when you say "punchie".
