Yes. I’ve always watched this show. Since beginning to end, and then after it ended I continued to watch it. I’ve noticed the early season reenactments were cheaply made. And as time went on they got better. Since I’ve had an iPhone (2007) I’ve always had some way to watch unsolved mysteries. It’s always been a comfort to watch or listen to. Sometimes having bad nights I’d listen to it. When i work id throw an episode on and listen with one headphone/AirPod in. It would somehow make the day more tolerable lol. Like a little escape in 1 ear.
When I was in my twenties, there was a teenager who seemed to be a foreigner, who was riding a public bus and asking for directions. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I offered her accommodations at my home. We went to Niagara Falls and I even have pictures of the two of us. After two nights, she bid goodbye. Now that I’ve watched Forensic Files, FBI Files and what not; I would never do that again. I was lucky that she wasn’t an axe murderer 😝
@@Desertascetic its funny i posted my comment before i read the one about her watching the commercials Hey to each their own but i have a 100% no commercial policy That includes television and radio or any other medium They are nothing more than drivel basura noisy nonsense I urge you all Just say no to commercials They are lies and should be avoided as much as possible
I remember that one story about Charles and the stranger who killed his mother on forensic files...that was one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.
Fabricated Reality I was just about to write about the Forensic Files episode but you beat me to it. No wonder the police had a hard time believing that story. Peter Thomas (narrator of FF) and Robert Stack had two of the creepiest voices. My favorite two shows to watch!!!
When I was 7 I thought the spirit board was fun. One day, I asked the spirit where he lived. He said he lived with me in my room. I stopped using it after that. Made me paranoid for months
@@jonsmith6087 I figured the board was an expression of what I wanted at the time. I did not say it was real. However, even if the mind generates it, it still caused fear at the time.
There are a handful of cases like this one that just leave you totally confused.Every turn leads to more questions than answers.The Hinterkaifeck murders is my favorite case.
i remember reading about this case long ago and it kinda boils down to a mental illness break. he couldnt make it as a seals or specal ops or whatever special group he wanted, got stuck as a cook, and started LARPing to people/family that he had his 'special assignment'. i cant remember what the breaking point was but i think his illness just got worse and he ran off, maybe killed himself/got killed. reddit had a good write up on it, cant really remember all the details
DNA found at the scene was later uploaded to CODIS, the national DNA database. In November of 2005, the DNA evidence along with the bloody palm print on the banister identified Dorothy's killer as forty-one-year-old Gilbert E. Cannon of Delmar, Maryland. Cannon lived in Delaware at the time of the murder. He had previously served time for a 1997 murder; he has also served time on robbery and drug charges. Prior to his release, his DNA was collected, which was used to connect him to Dorothy's case. In January of 2006, he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. When first questioned, he denied any involvement in the murder. However, when confronted with the evidence, he confessed to the crime. He told authorities that he was high on cocaine on the night of the murder. He said that after Charles left him at the intersection, he walked down the road, looking for a place to sleep. He passed several houses, but they all had lights on. He said he chose Dorothy's house because it was the first one he could find that didn't have any lights on. When he broke the glass on the back door, Dorothy woke up. He then killed her to keep her from identifying him. Cannon confirmed that it was just a coincidence that he chose Dorothy's house. He said that he did not know either her or Charles. He also confirmed that he acted alone. He pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Omg thank you for that! I only wish u.s.m could have explained. I was like wth? Its still a mystery. How did this guy find his house?? He was like a super villian or he had a personal vendetta with the guy he tried to take the truck from and he knew all his personal info but no... Wow crazy- just a coincidence, however he did stop to drop him off pretty close to his house but that was before he knew he was bad guy and too bad he couldnt have figured out (like secretly-like to himself) that he was a bad guy during the ride and try and drop him off further from his house. Yikes what a sad story. Thank you so much for the proper closure!!!!
Y'all can look up this case on Forensic Files. I think the episode is called "Stranger in the night". It's so crazy scary! The way the detectives kept saying " You killed your mother!!" I felt terrible for the poor guy, they show the real interrogation. Then his family distanced themselves from him believing he did it. One of the best episodes. 😎
This case has always haunted me. How scary, and how sad Gilbert Cannon just happened upon Charles' mother's house. So sad, glad he's in prison. I'll definitely look up that Forensic Files episode. Dolores
The fact he was shredding paper by hand and not just burning it let's me know he was doing it for show. And some secret agency isn't going to phone the guys gf and say "the missions off." He obviously just had a friend make that call. The guy couldn't accept he wasn't going to be a ranger and decided he'd play some special ops guy.
I was a little boy when I first saw this episode. It always creeped me out how the guy randomly found Holden's mother. This was one of the episodes that stuck in my mind from this show.
That background music in the hitchhiker segment is to me the scariest piece of music in the entire series. I think they also used it in the UFO special.
Or he was just trying to make his service sound more impressive than it was. Most jobs in the military aren't exciting, will never see combat, and are just really mundane, work-a-day jobs. The jobs need to get done, but that's not good enough for a lot of people (mostly guys) who join and get a mundane job. Some of them start making shit up to make their time in the military sound more impressive than it is. That's the best explanation I've heard for a KC-10A pilot who, while we were deployed to UAE, decided to buzz a friendly gun range and took a few bullets in the #3 engine. He wanted to be able to tell (presumably, as this was during DADT) women at the bar that he'd been under fire. I don't know that this was his motive, but it's the best possibility for why the idiot wasted a several million dollar aircraft engine on such a stupid stunt.
@@Shicksalblume couldnt he lie to drunk women at the bar w/o ruining a plane/risking his life? did he fly the plane to the bar after. what a dumbass. people sucking off the military like its the same group of guys that killed nazis...its far from that nowadays.
I think Justin was playing his girlfriend, and he was just a cook with very serious grandous illusions. No member of a military team would call a guys girlfriend saying the mission's off. I'm sure they had pagers.
@@1957jmhiser1 Probably tried to do some big thing to get his standing back in the army and fucked up. Did this thing with a couple of other guys that's why "mission" and guns. He did a dumb thing
Ouija board episode. I was staying with my aunt in the summer holidays. She had five girls and one of them was my best friend at 13 we were really close. It was a big old pub. One night the older girls came back from a night out with their friends . They decided with the aid of an ouija board to try to contact the spirit world. They let in a poltergeist which caused havoc for two weeks in the living quarters of the pub. It smashed banged and moved things and we were all terrified. Maxine my closest cousin and myself were sleeping together because we were so terrified. We were fast asleep when the bed clothes were ripped off us and the bed was shaking. My aunt who was a staunch catholic called the priest in. I don’t know what he did but it seemed to work because things got back to normal. So my advice to anyone even thinking of using this evil conduit to all kinds of terrible entities is do not use the ouija board. Just don’t.
I had childhood friends that played with a Ouija board. They had a terrifying experience and burned the board after that. They bring evil spirits into your home. Learn to commune with God in prayer to get direction and answers in your life. Do not turn to evil sources to ask questions.
Jon Smith:Evil not only exists but is everywhere, anymore. Unfortunately, people prefer to stick their head in the sand. If you knock on the wrong door... You never know what can happen. The biggest myth is that satan does not exist.
Charles Holden's mother's death is so dark and creepy. It was probably a rural area and just a horrible coincidence the hitchhiker happened to go into that particular house.
The killer later revealed he was high on cocaine and was looking for a place to sleep for the night. He had passed several houses but all of them had lights on. Holden's mother's house just happened to be the first house he came across that didn't have lights on. Crazy, right?
@@jboogie6921 But in the show, her son said ( 41:53 ) she would always stay up until he got in. Therefore, the lights were originally on. It was vindictive. Someone in another comment mentioned (from a case file about it on another site) that he had gotten the address of her son off a receipt in the car. That's why he went to his trailer first. Also the door was locked on his mother's house. Otherwise the murderer would not have needed to break the glass on the door. Think about it, are we really gonna believe the murderer's story when he was hyped up on cocaine? Also, he didn't even sleep there so he knew the son would be there soon enough. And he didn't take anything. Any sort of thief would have at least taken 1 min to grab her purse. But he was there to murder - nothing more and nothing less.
@@nowhere-0o0-o A full address on a receipt? Who gives receipts with someone's address on it? And how did he find the house? It was a rural area and GPS didn't exist back then. It's not like the house was around the corner from where Charles ditched him. And how did he know to check the house next door to the address? And how did he know Charles had a family member in this house? None of it adds up. For all he knew, Charles was already at the house. After all, he was the one with the car. And are we really going to believe a random person on the internet that wasn't at the scene?
Not sure I felt more sorry for anyone profiled than Charles Holden. To lose your mother because of a POS like that and briefly be considered a suspect? What a nightmare.
@@nowhere-0o0-o You’re just adding a whole bunch of imagined details to the story. The police made it clear, over a decade later, that the killer was shocked to learn that the woman he killed was Charles’s mother. He had no idea until after he was caught and confessed to the crime.
I think "Patience Worth" was Pearl Curren's way of letting out her inner writer, sort of a way to express herself in ways she otherwise felt she couldn't due to the time and place.
Last story always stuck with me because I have imagined if this happened to me and my mama was killed so brutally bless her heart it is so horrible I feel so terrible for the son 💔 I prayed for him
This case is also featured on an episode of Forensic Files (Stranger in the Night, Season 13, Episode 11), like some sort of true crime crossover. It was all just an extremely bizarre coincidence.
Seriously like WTF. Especially since he was the one that put her in that predicament by giving this stranger a ride. I would have turned on the high-beams and honked the horn incessantly...anything to distract him or deter him from going to his mother's house.
If he was walking down my drive way I & my mom lived next door id go run inside and grab a bigger weapon & have her call cops if has phone but not leave my 80 + old mom alone nope
"Oh I speak by scattering all of these different old words from different periods in history so you won't think Pearl Curran herself is doing this. It has nothing to do with you catching me not having done enough research to know specifically how women would speak in the 16th-17th century." LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I think smiling through the sadness is just a way for her to cope and her hopefulness that he may be alive. Everyone deals with death and disappearances differently.
@@Bootstataboots You're exactly right. Most ALWAYS when someone gets emotional or on the verge of tears, or IN tears in front of someone...or in front of CAMERAS, they will almost always become embarrassed then start to laugh. It's just the way it is with human emotion.
I've noticed that a lot with some people. In many cases here on UM, you'll see people do that. The majority of the people I've seen who do this (like Justin's mom) wasn't on the verge of tears, in a very high emotional state, etc. Though they're talking about something stressful and heart wrenching, they're calm and have a mild grin/smile pretty much during the whole time they're talking. I know people deal with stress in different ways. But of all things to do, you smile???? That's so strange and bizarre to me.
@@thesilentdiva but she was a bit odd beyond just the smiling...the way she talked about whether her son was dead or alive, it felt like she was mimicking something she saw on tv, like reading a script instead of analyzing her own lived experience. I know what you mean by smiling/laughing while dealing with complex emotions, but usually something else is present when that exists...there is some other indication of emotion, in the vocabulary or affect.
I don’t understand why people insist on resisting when someone wants to rob you. Give them what they want! I know it doesn’t always save someone but it is more likely than putting up a fight.
Well it's easy for you to judge the victims' actions/reactions when you're comfortably writing this at home and not in their situation. Some people react differently when they face danger, when the desire to survive takes over their body, when fear of losing everything hits you. I wonder how you'd truly react if you were face to face with a robber, and that desire to survive kicks in....hope you won’t have to go through this.
I disagree most dont know how they will react when challenged. With my background and history under very highly charged incidents I not only know how I'd react I know that fighting is just something I was trained to do. Once the adrenaline kicks in it's all fight or flight. It's all muscle memory train like you will be the hardest person anyone ever tries to kill.
I wonder if Justin's family sent flyers and made phone calls to mental hospitals, emergency rooms, etc... within 500+ miles of where he was staying. Seems clear to me he had a mental breakdown brought on by the anxiety of failure of an important goal or very possibly the onset of schizophrenia. He was no arms dealer.
I too came up with the same conclusion!!! Total signs of a mental break down from what I watched!! 1sg James Tyler said, "He wasn't the type to go AWOL. " But he COULD go AWOL… if he wasn't in his right state of mind. He probably was the one who called her talking about "the mission was off!" The girlfriend seemed really naive as well.
That’s exactly what it sounds like to me too. Reminds me of the movie A Beautiful Mind, where the guy is convinced he’s involved in top secret stuff and he grows increasingly paranoid and his wife discovers it wasn’t real, it was his schizophrenia.
Or he went somewhere and committed suicide. I saw one girl on one of these shows committed suicide &mom only found out several years later because the mom looked at dead unidentified pics every day
I don't even think he was breaking down. I think he was embarrassed that he had to work in that kitchen after being demoted. People have been known to pull all sorts of lengthy, complex ruses when they don't want to face sumthin. They will go and live somewhere else altogether and act like they do not have family or friends.
The military does not spend a lot of money and resources hunting down AWOL low ranking enlisted people. A fellow high school wrestler joined the Navy same time as me with the desire to become a Navy Seal. This was in 1990. He made it through most of the program when before failing because his ears would not equalize at depth. When he was booted from SEAL training he went AWOL. I was shocked by how little effort the Navy put into getting him back. He just left as though he quit a job. And that is how I believe the military proceeds with low level enlisted AWOL personnel.
These shows make me so grateful for cell phones, if Charles couldve called 911 as soon as he drove away from the dude the guy might not have made it to the guy's house
In the last piece with Dorothy Donovan they're not suppose to send just one officer to a burglar call, let alone a female. Police protocols at that time was horrible.
Crazy story..I remember this segment. It terrified me as a kid. I grew up in Cleveland Ohio and had never been in Delaware nor knew anyone that lived there. 25 years later I met a DE woman and moved there to be with her. Little did I know until I went back and saw this segment here on TH-cam that this happened nearby to where I was. I used to live just south down route 13 in Seaford DE and worked at a UPS hub in Harrington just half a mile from the Hardees where he picked up the hitchhiker. I used to drive through that intersection where he ran to the closed store for help which is also where they filmed this. That little building is still there but abandoned. Pretty surreal.
If "Patience Worth" really lived in the colonial era, there would've been records of her. Pretty cool backstory to production of the literary works, though.
I remember we did the Ouija board on the railroad tracks in San Antonio. Which is supposed to be haunted by children they push cars over. We were able to contact different children that were killed. Some of them were very angry. As the Ouija board needle was moving the Ouija board itself popped off of our lap. We were scared Setlist
I saw a special long ago about those haunted railroad tracks & the investigators put baby powder on the rear bumper and it showed handprints on it after the car was pushed. They even had multiple cameras to prove no living person was pushing the car, hella eerie.
Several things don't add up in Justin's story...He was a cook (92G) and wanted to be a Ranger. There is no language requirement to be in the Ranger Bn. Then him being in the Defense Language Inst for Korean and gets caught for shoplifting. How does a guy who enlisted to be a language guy end up as a cook? An Art 15 for shoplifting would more likely preclude him from getting into the Ranger Bn. Then he gets transferred to Ft Lewis where the 2nd Bn 75th Rangers are located. Most of his story doesn't make sense..... I don't know what to think about doing a tour of duty in Korea and then going to school for Korean. It doesn't make sense.....there's plenty of Korean language linguists in Korea !!
4 grams of cocaine brought down one of the biggest counterfeit rings in history. Wow what a mistake on his part! Why is there no movie about this guy yet?
A ruse that gave the world an unacknowledged writer. I hope Pearl Curran gets her place in history someday. Can you imagine spelling out an entire novel via ouija movements?? And I thought the PhD candidate typing his dissertation with TWO FINGERS had tenacity!!
I do not mess with Ouija boards because I've heard that really bad juju can happen when you mess with those things. You can laugh at me all you want but I just don't touch them
The disappearance of Justin Burgwinkel is another baffling case related to the military, what a strange story. His comment about the movie kinda lead me to believe he was living in a fantasy world and made everything up to feel important, but the fact he never came back to this day might be proof he was telling the truth. No idea what to believe, really weird case. 😕
I would go along the lines he was suffering delusions of grandeur. The fact he would talk about how he "couldn't talk about it" and ensure the brief case was seen point to someone wanting attention. The mention that he didn't make ranger and was sent to be a cook point more to this as he now felt he had to prove something. Lets also be honest, if we are going to use someone to smuggle guns we would use someone with access to them, a cook does not have this access. Its a sad case and still very strange as I would think if he is alive he would have turned up by now
He was probably mentally ill, why else would he sit and rip up papers in his briefcase? If they really were sensitive documents that had to be destroyed it would have been a lot faster and safer to burn them or something.
@@refinedsugar Yes very true, another one of UM's best! Same thing for the strange death of Jeffrey Digman, and the Hargrove-Carmichael "double suicide". All these military deaths are extremely bizarre and extremely scary.
The worst part of it is that his mom did not seem authentic in her respone and she was almost smirking as if she knew he was alive and probably exactly where he is. : (
Lol, ironic someone who uses the name "MAGAdude" would call someone out as a wannabe. MAGA bois obsessed with Conspiracy theories and being internet soldiers shouldn't be talking shit about anyone pretending anything.
I would have just let him steal the truck in the last one, no vehicle is worth your life or your family. So awful what happened to his mother. I am glad they finally caught the guy that did it.
It was a total coincidence that the hitchhiker found his mother's house. The killer revealed he was high on cocaine and was looking for a place to sleep for the night. He had passed several houses but they all had lights on. The mother's house just happened to be the first house he came across that didn't have lights on. The part that trips me out is that when he saw the hitchhiker walking towards his mother's house instead of trying to protect her he drove off to call police from a pay phone. It's not like the guy had a gun. All he had was a screwdriver. He probably feels sooo much guilt. I'm sorry but if I were in his shoes and I saw the man walking towards my elderly mother's home, there's no way I'm going to just drive off. Even if I was reluctant to fight the man, at a minimum I would have made my presence known to distract him from my mother's house. Blow the horn and turn on the high beams. Or maybe tell the guy that cops were on the way (even if they weren't). Like how do you just bail on your own mother when you're the one that put her in that predicament. Like WTF?!
In my opinion Justin was possibly undiagnosed Manic Depressive and had delusions of grandeur and made the whole mission thing up. I think Justin Burgwinkle went A.W.O.L. and then went somewhere and committed suicide. Either his remains haven't been discovered or he ended up on a morgue slab somewhere as a "John Doe."
its been my "pet case" since I saw the episode in the 1990s. He was so full of it. The military does NOT call soldier's girlfriends and say "tell him the mission is off". Doesn't work like that.
Lot of scummy people in the military. A lot of them watch too many movies and want to play secret agent big shot. I think this kid was one of those types. Some private working in the kitchen isn't going to be involved in arms smuggling or covert actions.
Pearl Curran's friend was a writer. According to more sources, she continued writing "through Patience's spirit" by hand, and orally with a "very fast" transcriptionist. Why can't she be a writer?? Perhaps it was her friend's idea! There are too many stories about women--and other minorities--not getting any credit for their work, including some women that worked under the ruse of a man's name. So why not a spirit's name? It certainly worked to get her published!
Normally I would say Justin was living a fantasy life but who the hell can just disappear for 3 decades? Especially someone AWOL? That will trip a lot alarms not matter you do. One traffic stop by the cops for example.
I always assumed the soldier went to black ops/CIA. They’re always looking for young fit soldiers especially with linguistic skills. To be gone without a trace like that...for sure
3:12 i don't mess around with that Ouija board when i was younger & i was in group home my friends played with that i wouldn't even touch that thing or get anywhere near that thing!
I agree. I was 15 years old and was a young, naïve, curious kid, so i got my mom to by me one. I started playing with it and strange things seemingly started to occur in a otherwise peaceful home(car batteries dying, floods, arguments, sickness etc). One day my mother was speaking to my grandmom on the phone who lives in NC(we live in philly) about the strange things that were happening in our house. My grandmother asked her out the blue" "You dont have a oujia board in that house, do you?" She had no idea that we did being miles away but once i heard she said that, i felt god inside me say this is your confirmation. Get it out of your house! I got a butcher knife, cut it into little pieces and tossed it in the trash. Im 41 now and not once ever looked back. Things slowly went back to normal in our home after prayer. Its a telephone to the spirit world that should not be used. Run dont walk from this evil gateway.
I just woke up from a horrible nightmare 😟😟😟 God’s honest truth, I dreamt I picked up the same threatening hitchhiker that Charles Holden picked up, and my mom met the same gruesome fate 😟😟😟 The one difference was, in my dream, in the process of driving away from my attacker, I dealt with a very heavy rainstorm! My dream scared me heavily (more so because (1) right now, it’s just my mom and I - my dad died 2 1/2 years ago - and (2) I’m someone with learning and social difficulties! What scares me now is actually encountering someone like the hitch hiker, and him doing that kinda bad stuff to my mama in real life)
@@DMalltheway if he didn't drive him in that direction to begin with or been nice enough just to take him all the way than that would've never happened!

It’s a shame there haven’t been any updates, wonder if they’ve found his body
There are a handful of cases like this one that just leave you totally confused.Every turn leads to more questions than answers.The Hinterkaifeck murders is my favorite case.
The good stuff of unsolved mysteries
i remember reading about this case long ago and it kinda boils down to a mental illness break. he couldnt make it as a seals or specal ops or whatever special group he wanted, got stuck as a cook, and started LARPing to people/family that he had his 'special assignment'. i cant remember what the breaking point was but i think his illness just got worse and he ran off, maybe killed himself/got killed. reddit had a good write up on it, cant really remember all the details
@@zeppelinboys same thing I thought he probably committed suicide and since he had no idea was just unidentified
Robert Stack's voice is notoriously difficult to imitate. Impressionist Rich Little worked on it for years but was never satisfied.
DNA found at the scene was later uploaded to CODIS, the national DNA database. In November of 2005, the DNA evidence along with the bloody palm print on the banister identified Dorothy's killer as forty-one-year-old Gilbert E. Cannon of Delmar, Maryland.

When he broke the glass on the back door, Dorothy woke up. He then killed her to keep her from identifying him.
Cannon confirmed that it was just a coincidence that he chose Dorothy's house. He said that he did not know either her or Charles. He also confirmed that he acted alone. He pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Thx Vegeta
Omg thank you for that! I only wish u.s.m could have explained. I was like wth? Its still a mystery. How did this guy find his house?? He was like a super villian or he had a personal vendetta with the guy he tried to take the truck from and he knew all his personal info but no... Wow crazy- just a coincidence, however he did stop to drop him off pretty close to his house but that was before he knew he was bad guy and too bad he couldnt have figured out (like secretly-like to himself) that he was a bad guy during the ride and try and drop him off further from his house. Yikes what a sad story. Thank you so much for the proper closure!!!!
thanks for this
Y'all can look up this case on Forensic Files. I think the episode is called "Stranger in the night". It's so crazy scary! The way the detectives kept saying " You killed your mother!!" I felt terrible for the poor guy, they show the real interrogation. Then his family distanced themselves from him believing he did it. One of the best episodes. 😎
This case has always haunted me. How scary, and how sad Gilbert Cannon just happened upon Charles' mother's house. So sad, glad he's in prison. I'll definitely look up that Forensic Files episode.
Dolores
Listen to Stack with headphones on.. Totally cool
Right yesss
I’m doing that right now actually.
Another great episode
The fact he was shredding paper by hand and not just burning it let's me know he was doing it for show. And some secret agency isn't going to phone the guys gf and say "the missions off." He obviously just had a friend make that call. The guy couldn't accept he wasn't going to be a ranger and decided he'd play some special ops guy.
Or he refused to go along with the fbi and they killed him. They wanted him to blow up a building in Oklahoma but he wouldn't.
I was a little boy when I first saw this episode. It always creeped me out how the guy randomly found Holden's mother. This was one of the episodes that stuck in my mind from this show.
The Charles story was also on Forensic Files. Unbelievable and tragic story.
That background music in the hitchhiker segment is to me the scariest piece of music in the entire series. I think they also used it in the UFO special.
Yes, they did. The musical score is terrifying.
Justin's girlfriend was patient AF. I would have ditched his secretive (possibly crazy) ass.
lol
🤣
Yeah that’s not how it works.
Justin was delusional. If anything he was a low level drug courier.
Or he was just trying to make his service sound more impressive than it was. Most jobs in the military aren't exciting, will never see combat, and are just really mundane, work-a-day jobs. The jobs need to get done, but that's not good enough for a lot of people (mostly guys) who join and get a mundane job. Some of them start making shit up to make their time in the military sound more impressive than it is.
That's the best explanation I've heard for a KC-10A pilot who, while we were deployed to UAE, decided to buzz a friendly gun range and took a few bullets in the #3 engine. He wanted to be able to tell (presumably, as this was during DADT) women at the bar that he'd been under fire. I don't know that this was his motive, but it's the best possibility for why the idiot wasted a several million dollar aircraft engine on such a stupid stunt.
@@Shicksalblume couldnt he lie to drunk women at the bar w/o ruining a plane/risking his life? did he fly the plane to the bar after. what a dumbass. people sucking off the military like its the same group of guys that killed nazis...its far from that nowadays.
What the heck was this Justin person up to? If he was in the CIA, he sucked at it. People aren't supposed to suspect you are up to anything!
I think Justin was playing his girlfriend, and he was just a cook with very serious grandous illusions. No member of a military team would call a guys girlfriend saying the mission's off. I'm sure they had pagers.
@@1957jmhiser1 yeah I thought the same thing, wanted to be a Ranger... demoted to cook, delusions of grandeur
smoking meth
@@1957jmhiser1 Probably tried to do some big thing to get his standing back in the army and fucked up. Did this thing with a couple of other guys that's why "mission" and guns. He did a dumb thing
I got the impression he was possibly suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
Ouija board episode. I was staying with my aunt in the summer holidays. She had five girls and one of them was my best friend at 13 we were really close. It was a big old pub. One night the older girls came back from a night out with their friends . They decided with the aid of an ouija board to try to contact the spirit world. They let in a poltergeist which caused havoc for two weeks in the living quarters of the pub. It smashed banged and moved things and we were all terrified. Maxine my closest cousin and myself were sleeping together because we were so terrified. We were fast asleep when the bed clothes were ripped off us and the bed was shaking. My aunt who was a staunch catholic called the priest in. I don’t know what he did but it seemed to work because things got back to normal. So my advice to anyone even thinking of using this evil conduit to all kinds of terrible entities is do not use the ouija board. Just don’t.
I had childhood friends that played with a Ouija board. They had a terrifying experience and burned the board after that. They bring evil spirits into your home.
Learn to commune with God in prayer to get direction and answers in your life. Do not turn to evil sources to ask questions.
Lol y'all skyzos
Like evil spirits exists
So what about all the animals and insects that got killed....
Case closed your honor.

Charles Holden's mother's death is so dark and creepy. It was probably a rural area and just a horrible coincidence the hitchhiker happened to go into that particular house.
The killer later revealed he was high on cocaine and was looking for a place to sleep for the night. He had passed several houses but all of them had lights on. Holden's mother's house just happened to be the first house he came across that didn't have lights on. Crazy, right?
@@jboogie6921 But in the show, her son said ( 41:53 ) she would always stay up until he got in. Therefore, the lights were originally on. It was vindictive. Someone in another comment mentioned (from a case file about it on another site) that he had gotten the address of her son off a receipt in the car. That's why he went to his trailer first. Also the door was locked on his mother's house. Otherwise the murderer would not have needed to break the glass on the door. Think about it, are we really gonna believe the murderer's story when he was hyped up on cocaine? Also, he didn't even sleep there so he knew the son would be there soon enough. And he didn't take anything. Any sort of thief would have at least taken 1 min to grab her purse. But he was there to murder - nothing more and nothing less.
@@nowhere-0o0-o A full address on a receipt? Who gives receipts with someone's address on it? And how did he find the house? It was a rural area and GPS didn't exist back then. It's not like the house was around the corner from where Charles ditched him. And how did he know to check the house next door to the address? And how did he know Charles had a family member in this house? None of it adds up. For all he knew, Charles was already at the house. After all, he was the one with the car. And are we really going to believe a random person on the internet that wasn't at the scene?
Not sure I felt more sorry for anyone profiled than Charles Holden. To lose your mother because of a POS like that and briefly be considered a suspect? What a nightmare.
@@nowhere-0o0-o You’re just adding a whole bunch of imagined details to the story. The police made it clear, over a decade later, that the killer was shocked to learn that the woman he killed was Charles’s mother. He had no idea until after he was caught and confessed to the crime.
John Vogel was indeed a self made millionaire. That made me laugh.
He did more for it than a lot of millionaires and billionaires today.

I think "Patience Worth" was Pearl Curren's way of letting out her inner writer, sort of a way to express herself in ways she otherwise felt she couldn't due to the time and place.
no shit
@@Scorch428 Settle down
Well said
she was a talented story teller with an unusual way of writing her stories.
No she let a demon in through the quija board that is Patience Worth
Last story always stuck with me because I have imagined if this happened to me and my mama was killed so brutally bless her heart it is so horrible I feel so terrible for the son 💔 I prayed for him
i had the dvd series episodes of ghosts and ufos,great series with robert stacks beautiful narration
Can I ask u what it was called I'm interested in seeing this thanks
The Charles story is incredibly tragic. What are the odds of the man going to his mother's house and killing her!?
He must've knew him somehow.
This case is also featured on an episode of Forensic Files (Stranger in the Night, Season 13, Episode 11), like some sort of true crime crossover. It was all just an extremely bizarre coincidence.
Mr. ballen mentioned this case in an episode
Black “people” be tripping
@@DaddyBall, I heard that episode too
I wish Charles had gone to his mother when he saw that dude lingering around.
Same.
Seriously like WTF. Especially since he was the one that put her in that predicament by giving this stranger a ride. I would have turned on the high-beams and honked the horn incessantly...anything to distract him or deter him from going to his mother's house.
Perhaps the play there was to honk his horn, draw assailant away from the house
I feel like he knows more had it done. Set a friend up or a hitchhiker he met then killed him .. Or paid.. Something is very very odd
If he was walking down my drive way I & my mom lived next door id go run inside and grab a bigger weapon & have her call cops if has phone but not leave my 80 + old mom alone nope
"Oh I speak by scattering all of these different old words from different periods in history so you won't think Pearl Curran herself is doing this. It has nothing to do with you catching me not having done enough research to know specifically how women would speak in the 16th-17th century." LOL 🤣🤣🤣
UM is great I'm binge watching 🙄
Why the heck does Justin's Mom keep on smiling throughout the interview process? It was just creepy
I think smiling through the sadness is just a way for her to cope and her hopefulness that he may be alive. Everyone deals with death and disappearances differently.
@@Bootstataboots
You're exactly right. Most ALWAYS when someone gets emotional or on the verge of tears, or IN tears in front of someone...or in front of CAMERAS, they will almost always become embarrassed then start to laugh. It's just the way it is with human emotion.
I've noticed that a lot with some people. In many cases here on UM, you'll see people do that. The majority of the people I've seen who do this (like Justin's mom) wasn't on the verge of tears, in a very high emotional state, etc. Though they're talking about something stressful and heart wrenching, they're calm and have a mild grin/smile pretty much during the whole time they're talking. I know people deal with stress in different ways. But of all things to do, you smile???? That's so strange and bizarre to me.
I do that. An awkward reaction where I smile in inappropriate situations. Means nothing usually just nerves
@@thesilentdiva but she was a bit odd beyond just the smiling...the way she talked about whether her son was dead or alive, it felt like she was mimicking something she saw on tv, like reading a script instead of analyzing her own lived experience. I know what you mean by smiling/laughing while dealing with complex emotions, but usually something else is present when that exists...there is some other indication of emotion, in the vocabulary or affect.
If you want to know more about Charles’ case, look up forensic files season 13 ep. 11 “stranger in the night”.
yes, i saw It too. one of the BEST
The missions off haha!! That was him getting a friend to call her
Absolutely !
Glad there was justice done for Charles mother
I don’t understand why people insist on resisting when someone wants to rob you. Give them what they want! I know it doesn’t always save someone but it is more likely than putting up a fight.
Well it's easy for you to judge the victims' actions/reactions when you're comfortably writing this at home and not in their situation. Some people react differently when they face danger, when the desire to survive takes over their body, when fear of losing everything hits you. I wonder how you'd truly react if you were face to face with a robber, and that desire to survive kicks in....hope you won’t have to go through this.
In the case of Gilbert Cannon and Dorothy Donovan, I would've just given him the truck and then reported it stolen. Not worth anyone's life.
I disagree most dont know how they will react when challenged. With my background and history under very highly charged incidents I not only know how I'd react I know that fighting is just something I was trained to do. Once the adrenaline kicks in it's all fight or flight. It's all muscle memory train like you will be the hardest person anyone ever tries to kill.
Shock is a lot of it.
That's why everybody should be armed, it's a dangerous world full of ppl with no conscious, I rather be prepared for a home invasion.
Don’t play around !!! No way to control what you are letting out And they aren’t always friendly 😢
I wonder if Justin's family sent flyers and made phone calls to mental hospitals, emergency rooms, etc... within 500+ miles of where he was staying. Seems clear to me he had a mental breakdown brought on by the anxiety of failure of an important goal or very possibly the onset of schizophrenia. He was no arms dealer.
I too came up with the same conclusion!!! Total signs of a mental break down from what I watched!! 1sg James Tyler said, "He wasn't the type to go AWOL. " But he COULD go AWOL… if he wasn't in his right state of mind. He probably was the one who called her talking about "the mission was off!" The girlfriend seemed really naive as well.
That’s exactly what it sounds like to me too. Reminds me of the movie A Beautiful Mind, where the guy is convinced he’s involved in top secret stuff and he grows increasingly paranoid and his wife discovers it wasn’t real, it was his schizophrenia.
Or he went somewhere and committed suicide. I saw one girl on one of these shows committed suicide &mom only found out several years later because the mom looked at dead unidentified pics every day
I don't even think he was breaking down. I think he was embarrassed that he had to work in that kitchen after being demoted. People have been known to pull all sorts of lengthy, complex ruses when they don't want to face sumthin. They will go and live somewhere else altogether and act like they do not have family or friends.
The military does not spend a lot of money and resources hunting down AWOL low ranking enlisted people. A fellow high school wrestler joined the Navy same time as me with the desire to become a Navy Seal. This was in 1990. He made it through most of the program when before failing because his ears would not equalize at depth. When he was booted from SEAL training he went AWOL. I was shocked by how little effort the Navy put into getting him back. He just left as though he quit a job. And that is how I believe the military proceeds with low level enlisted AWOL personnel.
My favorite show I miss Robert stack best host ever
These shows make me so grateful for cell phones, if Charles couldve called 911 as soon as he drove away from the dude the guy might not have made it to the guy's house
But gone to someone else’s….
When the show moved to Fridays I became and ultimate fan
In the last piece with Dorothy Donovan they're not suppose to send just one officer to a burglar call, let alone a female. Police protocols at that time was horrible.
Love this show now my mom used to watch it when I was younger
I thought it was creepy back then
Crazy story..I remember this segment. It terrified me as a kid. I grew up in Cleveland Ohio and had never been in Delaware nor knew anyone that lived there. 25 years later I met a DE woman and moved there to be with her. Little did I know until I went back and saw this segment here on TH-cam that this happened nearby to where I was. I used to live just south down route 13 in Seaford DE and worked at a UPS hub in Harrington just half a mile from the Hardees where he picked up the hitchhiker. I used to drive through that intersection where he ran to the closed store for help which is also where they filmed this. That little building is still there but abandoned. Pretty surreal.
That is so cool. I love google mapping locations they say in UM to see what they look like
Yo Robert Stack said C-notes😂😂
Yeah wtf haha he be totes shortening words (cringing at writing totes) lol
@@Jolenesmart1980
Not going to lie but so did I 😂😂
The word C-notes has been around a long time.
The actor playing Justin looks just like him.
If "Patience Worth" really lived in the colonial era, there would've been records of her.
Pretty cool backstory to production of the literary works, though.
Robert Stack loves to stack these cases on top of each other. Nice! 🙂
That Vogel update was maybe the craziest update in the history of this show.
I remember we did the Ouija board on the railroad tracks in San Antonio. Which is supposed to be haunted by children they push cars over. We were able to contact different children that were killed. Some of them were very angry. As the Ouija board needle was moving the Ouija board itself popped off of our lap. We were scared Setlist
I saw a special long ago about those haunted railroad tracks & the investigators put baby powder on the rear bumper and it showed handprints on it after the car was pushed. They even had multiple cameras to prove no living person was pushing the car, hella eerie.
Several things don't add up in Justin's story...He was a cook (92G) and wanted to be a Ranger. There is no language requirement to be in the Ranger Bn. Then him being in the Defense Language Inst for Korean and gets caught for shoplifting. How does a guy who enlisted to be a language guy end up as a cook? An Art 15 for shoplifting would more likely preclude him from getting into the Ranger Bn. Then he gets transferred to Ft Lewis where the 2nd Bn 75th Rangers are located. Most of his story doesn't make sense..... I don't know what to think about doing a tour of duty in Korea and then going to school for Korean. It doesn't make sense.....there's plenty of Korean language linguists in Korea !!
"Hello, Mr. Fat and Wide." I remember this. I lost it. XD

Patience Worth is a R-U-S-E. I spelled it out in Oiuja :-))
Its worth the patience to see the light.
I don't understand why they wasted their time on segments like this they could have covered a real missing persons case or unsolved murder.
l miller Must everything covered create gloom
and doom? It’s a fascinating story!
A ruse that gave the world an unacknowledged writer. I hope Pearl Curran gets her place in history someday. Can you imagine spelling out an entire novel via ouija movements?? And I thought the PhD candidate typing his dissertation with TWO FINGERS had tenacity!!
Best season
Playing with the board is nothing but dangerous

Yep. I messed with one several years ago that thing started moving on it's own. Freaked me out I got rid of it

I do not mess with Ouija boards because I've heard that really bad juju can happen when you mess with those things. You can laugh at me all you want but I just don't touch them
The disappearance of Justin Burgwinkel is another baffling case related to the military, what a strange story. His comment about the movie kinda lead me to believe he was living in a fantasy world and made everything up to feel important, but the fact he never came back to this day might be proof he was telling the truth. No idea what to believe, really weird case. 😕
I would go along the lines he was suffering delusions of grandeur. The fact he would talk about how he "couldn't talk about it" and ensure the brief case was seen point to someone wanting attention. The mention that he didn't make ranger and was sent to be a cook point more to this as he now felt he had to prove something. Lets also be honest, if we are going to use someone to smuggle guns we would use someone with access to them, a cook does not have this access. Its a sad case and still very strange as I would think if he is alive he would have turned up by now
He was probably mentally ill, why else would he sit and rip up papers in his briefcase? If they really were sensitive documents that had to be destroyed it would have been a lot faster and safer to burn them or something.
a åäöäö exactly. If I want it gone I’m burning that shit.
The death of Spc. Chad Langford also featured on UM is either another case of a young military man losing it or a bizarre cover up.
@@refinedsugar Yes very true, another one of UM's best! Same thing for the strange death of Jeffrey Digman, and the Hargrove-Carmichael "double suicide". All these military deaths are extremely bizarre and extremely scary.
This justin dude sounds like he was playing some "james bond/G.I. joe wannabe game"
He just didn’t want people around him to know he was a failure
The worst part of it is that his mom did not seem authentic in her respone and she was almost smirking as if she knew he was alive and probably exactly where he is. : (

Considering how worthless our currency is now, the difference between genuine and counterfeit is just a matter of semantics.
Today's 100 dollar bills would probably be hard to counterfeit
I do it every day
I would have just let him steal the truck in the last one, no vehicle is worth your life or your family. So awful what happened to his mother. I am glad they finally caught the guy that did it.
Damn that actor in the second story looked just like Vogel! I thought he played himself lol!
It was a total coincidence that the hitchhiker found his mother's house. The killer revealed he was high on cocaine and was looking for a place to sleep for the night. He had passed several houses but they all had lights on. The mother's house just happened to be the first house he came across that didn't have lights on. The part that trips me out is that when he saw the hitchhiker walking towards his mother's house instead of trying to protect her he drove off to call police from a pay phone. It's not like the guy had a gun. All he had was a screwdriver. He probably feels sooo much guilt. I'm sorry but if I were in his shoes and I saw the man walking towards my elderly mother's home, there's no way I'm going to just drive off. Even if I was reluctant to fight the man, at a minimum I would have made my presence known to distract him from my mother's house. Blow the horn and turn on the high beams. Or maybe tell the guy that cops were on the way (even if they weren't). Like how do you just bail on your own mother when you're the one that put her in that predicament. Like WTF?!
Run his ass over
I thought the exact same thing
Sounds like something from a horror film
He could have at least drove there and honked made lots of noise to alert the neighbours to call for help.
Blowing the horn especially when that dude was high on yayo would’ve definitely scared him off.
In my opinion Justin was possibly undiagnosed Manic Depressive and had delusions of grandeur and made the whole mission thing up. I think Justin Burgwinkle went A.W.O.L. and then went somewhere and committed suicide. Either his remains haven't been discovered or he ended up on a morgue slab somewhere as a "John Doe."
Agreed. His whole life collapsed due to the shoplifting offense. He definitely lost himself in fantasy.
Hey I/m worried about the UM supply. After this season, and the next season there/s *only four seasons left* 😱
Hi Barney!
Why do I feel like the guy that was in the Army was into something illegal and just made up that whole bulshit story as a ruse and then disappeared
sure
Because it's an easy way to discredit..
its been my "pet case" since I saw the episode in the 1990s. He was so full of it. The military does NOT call soldier's girlfriends and say "tell him the mission is off". Doesn't work like that.
Lot of scummy people in the military. A lot of them watch too many movies and want to play secret agent big shot. I think this kid was one of those types. Some private working in the kitchen isn't going to be involved in arms smuggling or covert actions.
I feel like he was gay or something
People who mess with those Ouija boards are communicating directly with hell.
Super!!
Totally!
So what happened to Justin?
Sounds like he got caught up in drug running. What do you know?
yes, must be
Pearl Curran's friend was a writer. According to more sources, she continued writing "through Patience's spirit" by hand, and orally with a "very fast" transcriptionist. Why can't she be a writer?? Perhaps it was her friend's idea! There are too many stories about women--and other minorities--not getting any credit for their work, including some women that worked under the ruse of a man's name. So why not a spirit's name? It certainly worked to get her published!
70 year old in 1991: Dorothy Donovan at 42:10, hella matronly

@@michelleprieur1 exactly people always say what they would do but when it comes down to it they would freeze
Normally I would say Justin was living a fantasy life but who the hell can just disappear for 3 decades? Especially someone AWOL? That will trip a lot alarms not matter you do. One traffic stop by the cops for example.
He probably did live a fantasy life and eventually left to commit suicide. The body is probably not found yet.
@@n.d.m.515yeah, that's the simple minded way of looking at it.

3:12 i don't mess around with that Ouija board when i was younger & i was in group home my friends played with that i wouldn't even touch that thing or get anywhere near that thing!
I agree. I was 15 years old and was a young, naïve, curious kid, so i got my mom to by me one. I started playing with it and strange things seemingly started to occur in a otherwise peaceful home(car batteries dying, floods, arguments, sickness etc). One day my mother was speaking to my grandmom on the phone who lives in NC(we live in philly) about the strange things that were happening in our house. My grandmother asked her out the blue" "You dont have a oujia board in that house, do you?" She had no idea that we did being miles away but once i heard she said that, i felt god inside me say this is your confirmation. Get it out of your house! I got a butcher knife, cut it into little pieces and tossed it in the trash. Im 41 now and not once ever looked back. Things slowly went back to normal in our home after prayer. Its a telephone to the spirit world that should not be used. Run dont walk from this evil gateway.
You shouldn't pickup a hitchhiker or be a hitchhiker. Both bad!
I just woke up from a horrible nightmare 😟😟😟 God’s honest truth, I dreamt I picked up the same threatening hitchhiker that Charles Holden picked up, and my mom met the same gruesome fate 😟😟😟 The one difference was, in my dream, in the process of driving away from my attacker, I dealt with a very heavy rainstorm! My dream scared me heavily (more so because (1) right now, it’s just my mom and I - my dad died 2 1/2 years ago - and (2) I’m someone with learning and social difficulties! What scares me now is actually encountering someone like the hitch hiker, and him doing that kinda bad stuff to my mama in real life)
