- between 1976 and 1977, four young women--patsy mcqueen, eva dvorak, melissa rehorek, and barbara maclean--were murdered in calgary, alberta. it would be decades before authorities even realized that all the cases were connected, and it would take an international investigation to finally unmask the serial killer who took their lives in 2024.

so, this sexual predator was allowed out of prison to continue his predatory crimes. but for thus failure, those four girls would still be alive. epic failure by the criminal justice system.
Back in the 1960's and 1970's our courts did not hand out long sentences for crimes of sexual assault or rape.
@@DagDebrini They also allowed people out on the weekends and other such nonsense. I think Ted Bundy was committing crime while technically a prisoner.
@@jomckellanHe escaped. Twice.
I heard a story once where a rapist, criminal became president in the US!
Par for the course
There were so many serial killers wandering around in the 70s, it’s surprising any of us girls survived. Sexual predators never stop so once caught they should never be released.
It was a perfect playground for these creeps from the 60’s to 80’s. Punishments were light, no one listened to victims when it ‘can’t be proven’ and humans were allowing their offspring to wander without regard to safety. My mom was a child of the 60’s ’s and was pregnant at 16, the boys parents sent him to military school and said it never happened. Took my sister til she was in her 40’s to meet him. 🎉 weird times
There are far more now (serial killers) and the numbers are getting higher and higher.
@@lolotaeja3911they’re caught now more than ever due to science. Also, serial killers tend to stick to their own race, so if it’s bunch white women it’s usually a white serial killer, though laterly black serial killers have increased and they still generally stick to their own race, but seem to go a bit more for other races compared to other serial killer races. It’s still like 50% of serial killers are white in USA, 40% are black and 10% make other races. Hispanics are easily categorized in the white section though and Arabs, so stats may be a bit convoluted.
Agree
Well, I suppose before computers they didn't always know the guy was a serial killer. One rape and murder, the judge says, "Oh well, the silly girl was asking for it," gives him a light sentence and he's out again, roaming around with no one really able to track him.
Shame on the government for letting that violent man out for sooo many years, regardless of numerous convictions.
most serial killers escalated and if you look at arrest records a lot were released from prison way too early
human rights
I watch this channel sporadically. Every time I come back for an episode, I'm like, "God, I hope she hasn't changed the background music"
Please, never EVER change the background music! You're the only channel I'm aware of that's perfected background music, it's so comforting
I only wish it wasn’t so repetitive, but the style and volume are perfect.
She's not able to use the other song. The silence one. Someone stole the copyright and now TH-cam won't allow it
Your obsession about this is concerning.
Nobody should need background music on a true crime video. These are the stories of real people, not dramatic creations of fiction. Music is completely unnecessary.
I do love it. It only gets to me if I’m binge watching her videos though. lol
I wonder if many of the women who went missing along the highway of tears was due to him.
I'm sure there are some related to this man. But there's other killers ad well adding to that list. How horrible.
It's entirely possible but that particular stretch of highway is about 10 - 12 hours drive north of where he lived. Also that stretch of highway is perfect hunting ground for predators due to being so remote with nothing but a single lane highway and remote forest for hours. Nothing but trees and dirt logging roads like arteries. While it could be him, and I definitely think he has way more victims out there, I think it could have been anyone depraved with opportunity on that highway, not necessarily this guy
Good point
Even scarier, victims of people who were never identified and never will...
That's the first thing I thought about too. So many women missing and a whole lot of them nobody even knew was ever even missing in the first place. A horrible thing to have to consider, let alone be that person. To be missing, searched for, found or not, but murdered, is bad enough. To be forgotten or overlooked entirely is worse, I think.
How bad does it have to be to make someone stay in prison? The system failed these girls long before he got to them. What a joke.
Absolutely. The way that we handle violent and sexual predators is evil.
Ya just gotta be born Black. Geez, like EVERYONE knows THAT!
It was 50 years ago. Read a book about society and technology of that period in time, then revisit your comment.
@@Yosetime
White men have been this WAY before they even come to North America. You should be reading books on the Dark Ages of Europe. This degenerate behavior is practically Europeans CULTURE. Plane and simple, this is who they are BECAUSE they are allowed to be.
Shame on the coroner in Calgary Canada. Sudden death? There was semen on both of the girls. Wrong conclusion. I think the justice system in Canada and the U.S. let the families of all of these women down. RIP to all of the women caught in this evil man's web.
"Sudden death" when there's semen on the scene is crazy. What, she just did that to herself and then died??? Fucking hell those guys really dropped the ball on that one.
Yeah, that's just ridiculous. There's no doubt there are other missing women out there. And how many other serial killers like this guy who are either still out there,or have died before being caught, taking all of their secrets to the grave. So sorry to these young women,and others and to their family's. Makes you hope there is Devine justice after we die.
Alberta isn't called the Texas of the North just because of the oil.
@@rog2224, well said, as a unfortunate Texas resident. I can’t wait to move out of this shit hole state. I am surprised that they caught the serial killer named the Candy Man but that was only due to his victim shooting him dead. And the RCMP is not known for their own incompetence either which is highlighted by claiming that two teenage girls whose bodies were found with semen to be listed as sudden death after they are found in an underpass. Both countries could use a refresher course on the dynamics of investigating murders of any woman or girl along with denying any woman/girl that has gone missing but they are all labeled as runaways or some other BS excuse since they don’t feel like females deserve to be treated as equally as their male counterparts.
Anyone could figure out they didn't just drop dead. The medical examiner needs to find another line of work.
hard to believe he just did this for a year and stopped. I wonder how many other victims he had over the decades since?
There are currently more ongoing investigations that he could be linked too
Alot I'm guessing. These guys never stop unless they're caught. Sometimes they're locked up for other stuff,so the killing stops, but they always kill again when released. Sometimes even more,and worse because they learned new "things " while incarcerated. My sympathies to them and the families of the missing and girls we don't even know about.
He could have moved a few times, making it more difficult to track, too.
It has happened that someone can quit but not very often
@@Chripiterthey also meet others, it have some other major life change that cause them to stop, though it's not common
Unfotinately, they let him out every time he committed a horrific crime.
Especially Canada, UK and some other countries have an absolute screwed up judicial system, pro offender all the way. The safety of citizens is secondary, sadly....
White American man = Get out of jail free card.
@@fredajordan5704 Go pound sand. You know nothing. How's this weeks active shooter stats in the US? Didn't have a single one in Canada. hmmmm.....weird.....
Thank you for your coverage of this case.
I was a kid in the 60's and in high school in the 70's. These kinds of horrific crimes by men against women and girls were considered "less than important" by law enforcement in those days. Guys like this would get caught, get slapped on the wrist, and then released after a short sentence - so that they could then go out and repeat their crimes. In college (early 1980's) I personally knew a dude who kidnapped and raped two girls, and he only got TWO YEARS in jail. Good God. Other girls I knew back then who had been raped refused to report it because of how horrifically they knew they would be treated by the legal system. I am so damed lucky it didn't happen to me. The legal system did not start to change until women THANKFULLY became a much stronger presence in the legal and law enforcement fields. Smh - and now we have women and girls who don't have a clue how bad it was back then, and want a return to those awful, awful times.
I’m wth you. My 18 yr old daughter said I was lucky to live thru the 70-80’s and I agreed for the economy and music, etc but the way girls and women of all types were treated was horrific. And imagine how it was behind closed doors…yes we’re lucky to be alive
I was definitely messed up, in pretty much all the ways I could be, by the horrible blase attitude towards sexual assault and abuse in those years. Victim must have been written across my forehead, because that was me for the early years of my life. At least now things that were then overlooked, unreported and mostly dismissed as, "unfortunate occurrences", are taken somewhat seriously when they are reported. Well, that has been the case in much of the world. We'll see if that changes in the near future, thanks to the shifts we are seeing towards the political right. Law and order ain't what it used to be for a lot of people.
@@momtammy3563 The political 'right' wants to ditch equal opportunity jobs and women's rights. I wouldn't call that a move forward. That's a 50 year minimum jump back in time. Unclear how that is going to help women in any way. Men are still going to abuse women both at home and in the workplace, and women are still going to go to work, put up with it, and get paid less for the same job. There is no such thing as an autocratic government who gives a crap about anyone's human rights or well-being. That's why we have a democracy, not a Trumpacy. Very disrespectful to post such a thing in these particular comments.
I never reported the crimes I experienced. They just weren't taken seriously back then and victims were further traumatized on the stand. I have deep disdain for people who falsely cry rape because it is such a horrible crime.
Thank God for "Jane". A Strong Woman!❤💪
,, Jane,, means , strong woman 😊
The opposite of Karmella.
Srery should've, and could've been stopped _before_ he had the chance to emigrate to Canada, and adapt an alias.
One word: California
@@edwardloomis887This happens in every state and every country.
@, yeah, Charles Manson was some midwestern dude you could blame this on. Ted Bundy, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Serial_killers_from_California
@@edwardloomis887? Bundy was from Tacoma Washington I'm not getting your point
He did not "emigrate" to Canada. He was yet another of the millions of illegal Americans living the good life in Canada, trying to be beyond the care or concern of US law enforcement.
He was only in Calgary 2 years and murdered 4 girls , that we know of.
He lived in BC for the other 22 years he was in Canada, Imagine how many British Columbia unsolved homicides are his.
This is crazy the laws are so screwed up he was a violent sex offender and had all of these charges by 1969 and all he had to serve time for was a drug charge 😮 my god then did it again but had to serve time for just violating is parole what the hell these poor girls would still be here if they would have just locked him up for those crimes in the beginning smh 😢😢😢
Rape hust wasn't seen as a serious crime back then. Or, a man's freedom to rape was seen as more important than a woman' freedom to not be raped. Men were more powerful and their needs were more important. The belief was that women secretly wanted to be raped. The death of a "good woman" was taken more seriously.
t.
I agree.. The justice system always seems to favor these monsters. I would never depend on them to deliver justice.
This was a big part of the women's movement from the 60's onward...seggual offenses getting off easy, victums being treated like sl*ts.
The laws aren't what's screwed up, it's the adherence to, and the enforcement of, that are screwed up.
This guy was able to live, virtually his whole life, violating many people. Why does the system repeatedly let these monsters free? It beggars belief.
Thank you for sharing this story. Bless the families of ALL his victims. I really enjoy your channel and they way you present your stories. Take care.
Kudos to the investigators for saving the evidence
Yeah, the RCMP does that when you're not First Nations.
Thank you for another well prepared video
At about 11:00, its nuts that he didn't do any meaningful time until he was convicted of drugs. It's shocking how the justice system treated sex crimes back then. Boys will be boys. I guess it's only a little bit better now.
It’s not a “back then” thing. This still happens.
@iamphoenixfire Correct you are. Women have had to fight for every victory we've ever had. Some early suffragettes were sexually assaulted just for fighting for the right to vote. There is much work still to do.
It's infuriating
In most Wastern nations even murderers don't do life. They're paroled, only for them to kill again after they're released.
I was about to say, his longest sentence was for drugs. I'm convinced the sytem is run by sexual predators and deviants who hate women and children.
The system defends these people and kicks the victims when their down and always has done
Nonsense.
No one "kicks victims" when they are down.
Love you Heavycase Files. Taking me into the foggy forest again. No fkn around here.
How many times does someone have to be convicted of rape before you finally decide to take him out of society permanently?!?! FFS
FORREAL!!!!! Disturbing as hell…
Kidnapping was not dealt with seriously or severely enough, obviously. Seems like because these cases weren’t widely known that authorities didn’t feel much pressure to care enough to sentence these offenders to real prison time. It is so disgusting that judges and prosecutors didn’t seem to think of future victims when dealing with obvious deviants. Meanwhile, drug offenders were dealt with more seriously. Says a lot about the male dominated system that existed or still exists.
Why do men like this always get released to do it again?
Because the people in charge of justice are often rapists/abusers themselves and they don't want to establish laws that will punish themselves.
That's the whole reason there's a statute of limitations on sex crimes (regardless of whatever BS explanations they give publicly).
... and then elected POTUS!
Well, it's a stupid question.
The answer is; They don't.
@@banksiasonglol cry harder.
@banksiasong Biden is a little sniffy with girls isn't he?
This entire story is infuriating. The fact that this piece of garbage was released or not charged again and again is insane.
This is Canada. It seems the system feels sorry for & wants to save the whole world...except the actual victims.
California should be sued for letting this heinous garbage off easy so many times. Even back then light on crime
They did in the 90s and still do it today. Then those types roam around wherever they want to.
What a fatuous remark. EVERYWHERE took attacks on women and other violent crimes much less seriously in the 70s. And rich men get away with it still. Weinstein and Cosby both released. OJ, Hegseth and Trump, scot-free.
Courts give officials "qualified immunity."
I always enjoy how you tell these and i always am so happy when you post. ❤
No WAY. I am from Calgary, and have always been very fascinated by this case… I genuinely never thought these murders would ever be solved. Shame that he can’t face justice, but at least their families have some semblance of answers now.
Thank you 🕊
How in the world did they keep letting this guy go? He should have been locked up permanently sooner!
Always terrifying to learn a serial killer was attacking near to where you were living at the time. I was in Spokane and just about to go away to college (thankfully) when he was in Coeur d’Alene.
This man should have been in prison for life decades before he actually was.
Another Terry Rasmussen; a murderous monster constantly reinventing himself changing his identity and leaving death in his wake
In my opinion the laws & the justice system give harder punishments on drug possession than sex crimes.
I agree. It is disgusting how little time sex offender typically receive.
They do not like competition if you know what I mean.
Because drug offenses are towards non Europeans.
Everything else is usual and therefore pardoned, privilege and pride...
Ok who's idea was it to release a sexual predator in the first place
It should be publicized who made these decisions
That is how it was back then. More leniency and shorter sentences for violence.
Nowadays you have to be rich, like Weinstein or Cosby to get out in a few years. Or rich like Trump to get away with it forever.
What a shame. All those beautiful young women lost their lives because of this animal. He should never had been allowed back into society after his first offense. He will face justice when he stands before God. RIP To the victims.
How did so many people drop the ball with this guy? He was a known threat to society for so many years and had been incarcerated so many times.
I hope everyone who had the opportunity to save the lives of these girls knows that their inaction is every bit as responsible as the monster they unleashed. They should be held accountable to more then their consciences.
Big giant WTF!!!!
I think they just didn’t have the science and research so they relied on very big standard policing procedures. Different times.
Hard to imagine how this many errors led to his escape from justice for far longer than it should have. But in the end, all truths will be unveiled.
Wow, what a POS. How many other victims did this guy have out there that nobody knows about,and how many other killers Luke this are out there. How was even on the streets to be able to do this. He should have been in prison Ling before these 4 crimes
Thank you, HC.
A fabulous job covering such sad/tragic stories. Thanks so much, HC!
Ty for the respect you gave Jane.
Patsy, Eva, Melissa, Barbara, Jane 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 and his other victims 🕊, rest in peace.
Imagine he was convicted for kidnapping and still got dismissed wow
Why did he continue to not get in much trouble for his pattern of horrible crimes? He was allowed to go on to the obvious conclusion of his crime pattern. Ridiculous.
People who release such monsters to live among us ARE NOT merely inept; they are themselves psychopaths, just the like the monsters. That's why they sympathize with monsters - - because they ARE MONSTERS THEMSELVES. This is not a passive oversight; they are complicit in the crimes.
We have got to start keeping our violent and sexual predators in jail. It is evil on the part of our governance to allow these people back out over and over again.
Such a great channel. Rarely do we see Canada covered. Love your haunting work
I grew up about 2 hours south of CdA, Idaho, in the 70’s & 80’s. Moscow idaho, where I grew up, has at least 2 murders or disappearances from my childhood, that I never heard any conclusion from. It’s scary how safe I felt as a kid, despite evil people being so close by.
THANK YOU for NOT using aI!!!
"Nothing was stolen from her" except her life.
I like to think it's harder today to remain undetected but that really depends on the drive and competency of many, from police through MEs. Sadly some don't care or are insufficient.
Omg your back!! I thought u stop you tube. What!!! I am ducking happy now! Welcome back
No fucking way. My aunt must have known Barbara. Family is from Inverness and my aunt is only a couple years younger than her. Now I have to ask.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing 💜
Wow… this monster was allowed to commit crimes time after time by the justice system, police and the entire Law. It’s disgusting that with his DNA in the system they couldn’t solve these murders any sooner than they did. All these years went by and they’ve could made a connection a lot sooner.
Victims and Family and Friends ❤❤❤
Can we, as citizens who have the right to live peaceably, start a class action lawsuit against the justice system for not protecting us? It's so Fd up to hear over and over again how much damage is done by monsters released by the legal professionals that we pay to do a service for us.
I'm not thinking of monetary gain, but to make a statement that it isn't right that we are forced to live in fear and be traumatized by the horrible acts committed by parolees and the ones they don't keep once they have them.
Incompetent police in Calgary - shocker! Victim of their disgusting behaviour on several occasions myself.
The system doesn't care. They never had and never will.
some of his pics look scary af
Exactly. Where did he get the hair coloring in prison?
Once again, the judicial system is inept…
It’s amusing that people with a modern sense of justice think these types of affair was exceptional, when in reality crimes like these have gone unprosecuted since time immemorial. How long have we even had law enforcement, let alone forensics? The clearance rate for murders overall is still low and we delude ourselves to think otherwise.
HC, thanks for respecting these people. ❤😊❤
Thanks HCF
Thank you HC🙏🏼💔🕊️🗃️
The US justice system is very lenient on violent sex offenders. That’s why these people continue to thrive in our community. It would appear judges and prosecutors are somewhat sympathetic to these offenders. Not all of them, but some must be.
I can't watch. It's another, a few years for SA, out, women die... sudden death. Love the channel, just can't take this.
Hi, I’m reaching out to as many true crime adjacent creators as I can about this. My great aunt was m*rdered in 1983, her name was Elizabeth “Tillie” Schilling nee Troth. It’s a notorious cold case in my area and it’s never been solved. She was a cool lady, I never met her but she deserves justice.
Maybe you should use email vs commenting- they don’t speed read 1000’s of comments. 🎉
One can't help but feel there were many, many, more victims.
I love your channel but I made the mistake of first watching this video while my partner was sleeping. It accidentally woke her up because the calm pitch of the creator caught her off guard. Now I'm learning to watch without headphones during daylight because she likes her true crime before dark. 😂❤
Imagine he was charged for rape multiple times but you all could not see a pattern for fuck sake
I know this makes people angry, but this is NOT A SEX CRIME. This is a power crime like they all are! If you call it sex men forgive it don’t you see that sex is natural? But what they’re doing is forcing someone, therefore it’s a crime of power! It’s akin to murder, even if the person is still alive. That person will never be safe.
Agreed. I wonder if it was the divorce/marriage that triggered this lifelong criminal obsession.
What on earth are you talking about? If it wasn't about sex than why do all these creeps feel the need to whip out their member and get off on it during the process? I would say that normal decent men do not find this behavior natural or justified.
Utterly irrational nonsense.
@ Huh?
People thinking like you do is what keeps this circle going around and around. Do you realize men can rape other men? After battle? The rape is a power play! There’s another jewelry thief out there that claims he gets a stiff iffy when he sees jewelry. Anything can make a man horny. But these crimes are not about having sex! They are about power because they have power over the person they are hurting. is that a good Explanation for you?
Nice episode kudos
gd how many times does he have to victimize someone until the key's thrown away?!?!?!
Monster……
I am not a Judge but Holy crap what kind of people are out there whacko as all get out? Ehhh let them out! What could go wrong? Insanity!!!
It's always so lovely to hear your voice! Even though it's because of other's despair. Oh, now I just sound weird! 😬
creeper.
The police comment about not being able to put handcuffs on this guy... they put handcuffs on him plenty of times and returned him back to the streets to continue harming women. Over and over again.
What a devil!!👿
The Canadians were upset that he died in prison before they could arrest him...and let him go again.
It’s just as well; Canada is a non-death penalty jurisdiction, so they couldn’t have possibly sentenced him to anything more severe than the Idaho sentence.
Holy shit, I'm Calgarian and I didn't know about this case!
Hooray for DNA and genetic analysis
It never seizes to amaze me, how much it took back in the old day to actually be punished for sexual assaults. Its really not that long ago, that women were 2nd class citizens, who were never taken seriously or blamed for their own assaults. In some places, that attutide still exists today.
And then men have the audacity to question women for not reporting sexual assault or only reporting them years later.
I hope the guys in the Prisons he was at made is life a living hell every minute he was locked up. I cant beleive they let this scumbag out so many times. He has to have to more victims. My thougts and prayers go out to all the victims and familys. RIP to the 4 girls that passed away. Man that was a tough one.
My God, how was this man allowed to be set free. Shameful.
Not that recently solved - I've seen this case covered at least twice before. Nevertheless, whoever said "The Law is an Ass" was not wrong, were they? Love the channel. Thanks for highlighting this gross injustice.
This is a wild one
It's a travesty of justice that California didn't keep this monster in jail.Victim rights are more important than the rights of convicted criminals.
I think I remotely viewed this guy many yrs ago during a mis per case in BC
Rape was never taken seriously and young women's lives were not valued back then. I remember those times vividly
Fascinating story, but the cadence of the narration is difficult to listen to.
Very sad 😢
Now they can rest in peace and the family and friends know who did it. It won't bring them back at least it is solved my heart goes out to the family and friends ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤sincerely Ontario Canada
You sound like the Lady version of 'Criminally listed.' I like it!
I did a quick rewind hearing the 4 girls surnames,, the SIMILARITY made me 😲
Barbara was killed the day I was born.
I hitchhiked from S. California to Canada in 1970-1971. I was lucky, the Pacific Northwest was full of serial killers! RIP
Patsy, Melissa, Barbara and Eva.
He was charged so many times for S.A. and let free over, and over, and over. Our justice system is so flucked.
