Those "doctors" defending him saying he didn't know what he was doing is completely insane. He knew what he was doing.
Yeah it's sick. Oh he was beating as a kid i don't care that's no excuse to act out like that
He spoke in past tense and present when he was under “hypnosis”. When the female dr asks what his mother is doing, he says “she started kissing me” but then he says “she’s squeezing it”. Plus, his tone is like he’s telling a story and not like he’s in the moment. He’s so full of shit.
@@claymack1109💯
Oh he sure did noones takin tht away now was he possessed durin his lifetime obvious/ofc now te way tht I see it is parents shouldve been the ones taken to jail. From the jump
@@LoriandBrock99im ngl i wouldnt be Surprised by wht he said was tru bc "woman" most ppl would believe/think their not capable of such evil ik otherwise..😅
"He stuffed her mouth with dirt and mud, to shut her up"
Imagine the horror she went through. God.
Rest in peace
You know the song cold as ice
This guy is absolute horror
He would kill you and would be proud he did kill you he relives everything in this intervieuw again disgusting
And he looks like a sweet old grandpa. This is scary.
@@marila1005to you maybe. Thank god my grandpa doesn’t look as sweet as him😂
@@marila1005He looks like postman Pat after too many calories.
And he got a plea deal
He said strangulation "only takes about 4 minutes". That 4minutes feels like forever, Its a horrifying and terrifying way to die. You fight with every breath in your body, fully aware of whats happening....How do i know? As a 16 year old teenager I was raped. The 'man' who did this wanted to keep me quiet. He was my dad...... He strangled me, and I fought like Hell to survive. I knew i was losing the battle and was going to die., and just couldnt fight any longer. I gave up and I Cardiac Arrested.! No pulse or breathing ...... Just as i 'died' 4 people arrived, ( my Aunt, uncle and 2 of their friends ) who wrestled him off me, when he was still squeezing my neck. One of the women ( the friend,) was a Midwife, who gave me immediate CPR. She saved my life!!
I'm now 60 , happily married for 33 years to my true soulmate, with 2 wonderful Adult sons . I've spent my life, from 17 years old , as a Midwife and Neonatal nurse. I am a Christian believer in Jesus Christ who gave me life, instead of certain death, that day. Im forever grateful for Him and His plan for my life, and to the people who saved me. I'll remember them forever , with gratitude and love
May God continue to keep and Bless you. ✝️
Your story touch me !
LIAR!!!
So wonderful that you can focus on the blessings of the last 33 years. Glad you are living happily with a wonderful soul mate and children in your life.
May each of your days be brighter than the previous.
❤
My God always continue to bless you, honey.✝️
The daughter seems oddly fascinated by him. Like if she wasn't his daughter she would've sent fan mail to him in prison.
She needs a cat scan
True😂
I thought the same
😂😂
I wouldn't trust her with my kids... how u look up to such a person? and even wanting to bring your kids close to them....? She looks at him like a hero
Yes like she's proud eww weird
I just can't believe his daughter and some of her children visit him, hug him, and she actually has a relationship with him!!!! There's no way I could do that, father or not!
@fudgeholeJenkins absolutely!
Pobody's nerfect.
I agree! I never forgave my father for being alcoholic. Some people never find a companion and he was married 3 times.Some people will never have children and this killer has a daughter and grandkids that care enough to visit him! Unbelievable! Some are never blessed to have families. Why does he get to have one?
His daughter does not see Shawcross for the monster that he is. She believes that he would never hurt her: but I believe that she is wrong. The daughter is also wrong about her children: what if her dear old dad taught her children how to kill and how to have no empathy. Mr. Shawcross is pure evil!
She wants to inherit his assets. She is the only one in his life.
No one in the normal mind accepts a child abuser as her father.
He knew exactly what he was doing that's why he's got such good recollection about each one
If my spouse had a parent that was a serial killer and wanted our kids to visit the creep in prison I would NOT allow it. The daughter may be a nut job or an opportunist but her spouse has no backbone. Must not care at all about his kids at all.
Calm your tits.
Ain't like he is reaching across the couch at them.
She may not be that bright but that's why there's extra going on to keep him and them separate.
The daughter is insane, no serial killer father of mine would never see me or my kids…..dysfunctional!
Yes, she's as creepy as he is. Authorities should have her checked out for what she is putting her children through.
He can't talk about the children he killed because it reminds him of the child in him that was killed, he never had the guts to confront his pain and sadness, so he makes other people suffer
He killed those little kids too, he doesn't want to "talk about it" because he knows how other inmates treat child killers. They often get beaten to death by the other inmates.
Não sei como esta filha levou as suas crianças para conhecer este monstro
I doubt its a secret. You don't become that kind of "star" without your peers recognizing you as what you are. Public knowledge of the connection would be all it takes. Prison juries don't need a whole lot of convincing to convict 🤣
@@catarinagracio1997Her kids, I don't understand, no. But for herself, I could see the closure factor. My dad is long gone and I'm still trying to work out "who he was" because I was a kid when he passed. I do this even with the memories I was fortunate enough to get... they are somewhat definining in nature in me working out who *I* am.
I don't imagine this basic force subsides just because said parent turns out to be a serial killer... it would definitely modify how you handled the situation (hence the kids being a little peculiar) but to seek him out herself is just to find where she came from. Good, bad, or indifferent, that is half of her genetics. Fortunately this kind of thing is behavioral, not genetic, so she is at little risk of "being him" anyway. Mom had a little thing going and got pregnant... if she was otherwise normal, she's just figuring out who she is.
Now these kids.............. 🤔
My grandma said that transgender is just another term for mentally challenged, is that right?
@@mastercreamer1398 Mentally ill repeatedly copies and pastes totally irrelevant replies, if that's what you're asking, yes. 🤷♂️
I can’t believe his daughter would go there and have a relationship with this monster. One doesn’t have to watch horror movies to see monsters. They exist, and they are people!
No he's a human being.
@@Jeff-sp7bg there's certain human beings who will rape and kill you in the night. Those are monsters!
@@Jeff-sp7bgis evil
i don t understand either ,and she have child ,who have the same age than the one he kill .
she don t feel nothing for that woman he kill and that child ?
His daughter wasnt a prostitute she was good
Wow that daughter is unbelievable….. Im thankful she is not of any relation to me or anybody I know! I would be sickened to even know that woman
She is the daughter of a psychopath who carries his genes and has a traumatic bond with him. So Naturally she would not be in her right mind. Yes She believes what she is doing is right, while in fact she is exposing her children to danger man and offering a killer attention and support. That's why he loves what she offers him, not them as people. Narcissists and psychopaths do not love anyone. This is a scientific fact
I will have to give this more thought, before pin pointing his personality.must hear his whole story first and observe his whole presence as a person, what is said and how. To pinpoint many tell a tell signs of more of hims in our society blending in among the good folks.
Wow, the psychiatrist really got completely fooled by him. He lied because he thought he could get away with an insanity defense, so he played the part. The psychiatrist claims he committed the murders and doesn’t remember them, when he himself said in that interview that he remembers the murders. He’s a pure psychopath/sociopath, he’s a compulsive liar, he doesn’t care about others, they are merely objects to use to him, and he enjoys inflicting pain and suffering and he needs it to achieve sexual climax. Despicable human being.
That was my thoughts exactly. He put on a show for her, that’s it.
that's not a compulsive liar
It cost us tax payers $80K per year per prisoner. He’s been in prison for 18 years. That’s a waste of $1.4 million, just so far. Our justice system is insane to not put him to death.
He died 15 years ago ...
I can't imagine being a parent of those murdered
And on average it cost the state of California $308 million for EACH of its last 3 executions..... so the math doesn't work my friend
For example
@@Tortugasmaximus1it doesn't cost 308 million to kill someone, sorry. You believe that? 😂 Wtf is wrong with your brain?
He wont talk about it because he knows what they do to child predators in prison, not because he feels bad. He just told you hes got no remorse. May the lord have mercy on all their souls. Amen.
This was chilling. If ever there was a monster manifested from pure evil, it is this guy. The calm way he explains it in a brief matter of fact manner while failing to hide a smirk in a somewhat emotionless face is all i need to know that we should not fear hell as demons live amongst us.
Hell is something the human brain can't fathom
If he was out of it then why did he go back and cut them up later?
Exactly what I was thinking!
The fact that he could remember each victim and how he took their lives puzzles me.
They do that to relive it and get off on it.
Before the interview started, they asked him to blink 20 times for "yes" and 40 times for "no" if he had trouble answering a question.
He looks like a malevolent Beaker from the Muppets. I’m wondering why he hasn’t been dealt with by the other prisoners.
There scared of killers believe me uncle blinkies don't play he's a bad motherrrr killing for him is like having lunch he's dead since this interview hope he's resting in heaven wit the angels 😇😇😇
@@JuanRodriguez-wg4vh let me get this straight, your hoping this evil, disgusting abomination of a human is in heaven with angels? I don’t know who’s more delusional, you or him.
@@JuanRodriguez-wg4vh he only killed weak victims though and he's a little weasel. Its laughable to think that any of the other prisoners would be scared of him
Because of his high profile cases and possibility (we know he did) he just didn't admit to the killing of the 2 children in Watertown, they (the powers to be) put him in punk city aka protective custody. So he was kept safe from other prisoners.
I'm an ex con.
Fuck messing with him.
You're crazy!?
He kills for fun.
I've seen many documentaries and episodes and many stories about many serial killers over several years. I've become really experienced about these stories and characters, and I ain't shocked or surprised easily, not at all ; but something tells me over and over that this is one very evil man and this is kind of surprising 😢😮 woww.
Everyone involved in him doing just 15 years for killing two children should later be charged with helping him in those 11 murders that followed!
Right he was allowed to plea to manslaughter wtf
Death sentence would've fitted his crime a lot better.😠😠👹👺
Too easy
Yeah burned at the stake
Tooth for a tooth
New York is ran by weirdos like leticia james that love waisting lots and lots of tax dollars
one of the most tell tale signs you’re dealing with a narcissistic compulsive liar is when they say “if you don’t wanna believe me that’s your business I can’t do anything about it.” Right then I know someone’s lying.
I think he could kill you in a blink of an eye 😂
Most underrated comment ever!
😂
😉
Hilarious!
😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 that's a good one
But you COULD close the door. Deciding to visit your estranged father in jail for savagely murdering children and women, then introducing him to your children, you have a screw loose. He doesn't feel any type of remorse. Where is the logic?
Funny how he stops blinking so much when his daughter Is mentioned and how she knows things others don’t. Seems all a game a true freak
My dad worked with him in Watertown NY and my mom babysat one of the children murdered. He used to say to the men at work “It’s a shame what happened to those kids I hope they find the guy” and my dad said he would ride a pink bicycle to work
Lord 😳!
To be labeled as a pedofilie would cost him a life in prison….that is why he did not want to talk about it! There is no other reason.
My sister worked at the now defunct Genesee hospital. This monster lived across the street, and she recognized that he used to visit the cafeteria at the hospital.
Yikes.glad he didn't murder her!!
Many abused children do not become serial killers.
And not everyone who walks on the railroad tracks gets hit by a train.
And many pathological liars dont become politicians.
Enough of these killers ARE abused by their parents, for this to count as a cause. But it's not an excuse. Once you kill someone, it's all over for you .
They become p does.
Even his blinking is fake. He does that so he can take his time with answering. Corny and spineless.
Hugging her dad..sickening..Watertown parents don’t get to hug their kids…shame on this forgiving daughter!!
I hope that's sarcasm 😂. You cant blame the daughter for something her dad did. You cant blame her for wanting some semblance of a relationship with her father merely because he did some pretty horrific things. It's her choice. Doesn't make her bad.
So you're shaming her for merely practicing something like forgiveness? So instead of her forgiving her father, she should of walked around the rest of her life dragging a huge sack of resentment, bitterness, and anger for the rest of her life? That sounds like a great and intelligent way to go through life. Good luck to you 😂
@@RResidentAlienNN "Merely because he did some pretty horrific things"... are you okay? Raping and killing multiple people, including children, is no small thing. Nobody's blaming her for what her father did. It's just incomprehensible how she could be forgiving after all the suffering he caused so many victims and their families. I guess you're in the same league of morals as her and her father if you think it's strange to resent someone for committing such heinous crimes, crimes that shouldn't be forgiven.
Also, it's "should have", not "should of". Good luck to you.
Thats what normal people do😢😢😢
@scentlessapprentice88 there's a middle ground. Like not bringing her children into it for starters.
Fantastic. She's raising another 7 little serial killers. To think they won't get traumatized knowing what their grandfather has done - wtf?
I don't think she should be punished for learning who her father is. But she doesn't have to include him in her life. Visit him once, have a conversation and then be on your way. Do not allow his grandchildren into his life. Terrifying individual with zero remorse. Tragic for all the victim's families. They'll never be the same inside after the horrors he inflicted. How did he get out of jail after killing two children? Plea deal? Sure, but the only deal he should have got was not going to death row. What is wrong with the justice system?
People in Rochester actually thought he was a police officer. He bought and wore same shoes as they wore, and he would hang out with them whether in bars after their shifts or at doughnut shops.
I thought that was Kemper..
@@einienj3281 Kemper also hung out with the police. But people in Rochester actually thought Shawcross was a cop
@@lisakoon4966 👍🏻
Just like Edmund Kemper
@@HIStory84 indeed
He doesn’t deserve his daughter’s kindness & attempts at understanding. 😢
Daughters have needs from a father. It's natural and normal. Where absent fathers have effects on children.
@@Noone-rt6pw she wouldn't be so forgiving if he did it to her child!! 😠
This guy couldnt win a staring contest if his life depended on it..😂😂 his prison name has to be "blinky" 😂😂
The US court system disgusts me. Murderers should never be let out of prison. The daughter is beyond strange.
You can tell he was a chronic liar the way he incessantly blinks. Acting like he was molested as a child and trying to blame his crimes on that. And that silly little Princeton graduate playing into his hands buying into all that bull. He was playing her like a fiddle. It’s disgusting. Unless repented of his sin he’s burning in hell right now.
No such thing as heaven or hell
@@__DMC__82lmao
Finally, a wise comment.
And what if he has repented and is now with Jesus Christ? Will you still judge him then?
@@solidsnxhe said he felt no remorse so why would he repent?
Interview with a serial blinker is more like it 😂
I hope he feels every painful thing and all the terror that he inflicted on those poor victims in the afterlife and more.
I don't see much difference between u and him
@@miskayheagth1694 I don't mean on this earth plain ,I mean when he dies and has his life review and feels everything that he has inflicted on others so that his soul knows the truth of love not hate.
@@clairrollings3988he died years ago
Although I respect the work of psychiatrists, I do believe these murderers know how to read them like a book, so they manipulate their "exams" like it was a kid's play.
Totally agree!
Depends on the psych. See when you are studying psychopathology, those books are under lock and key. The ole look into the monster and it looks into you is the explanation they give you. So- either you "get it" or you don't. Try not to forget many doctors are from wealthy families and not streetwise at all. But not all of us.. some of us get them. 😉
Also if you want to see what genuinely causes this look up a famous pscyhoanalyst named Jacques Lacan. His Mirror Stage paper describes this perfectly and ticks the boxes for them all. Aileen wuornos, Bundy etc..
She is so dangerous. What an emba😊embarrassment to the profession.
If the guy conducting the interview was skilled at his chosen 'profession', Shawcross would have opened up a lot more. Lost potential there.
The thing about these pieces of human waste is you can't believe what they're telling you, they're playing you.
that interviewer was pathetic. stupid questions and no follow-up on the questions he asked.
He was lying half the interview anyways. The 'man' and I say that loosely was a fantasist. Notice how he shut up when it's the topic of him violating the little boy though.
@@Djsonleyhe didn't want anyone to know he was a secret homosexual.
He happy blinks, any time he says anything that excites him he can't help but blink a million miles a minute.
You can’t close the door and EVIL? You couldn’t slam the door either?!?! She took the grandkids to see this evil, maniacal killer? How sick!
I can’t understand that the daughter wants to have a relationship with that man. That’s INSANE to me.
That his mother used him f sex doesn't mean that he can kill others because he had a bad experience when he was younger that's insane
That blinking irritates my soul.
Bro looks like a thumb
He lies like a rug, even under hypnosis
How could he not know what he was doing when he clearly said he would go after the pressure point?
In her book, "a killer by design", dr. Ann Burgess writes that some people can only function in a highly organized and regulated environment, like prisons. But when they're released out into society, they can not cope with the fluixations of society, and the pressure causes them to go back to their bad habits. Arthur Shawcross is one of those. He was a model inmate, but when he was released back into society, it didn't take long for him to relapse.
This is a fantastic and very true/ valid point to make . I believe this was also true in the case of Katherine Knight, another known serial killer.
I wouldn't say that torturing and killing people is 'a bad habit', like smoking is. It's more like a horrible inhumane cowardly grotesque mental illness.
He is demon possessed and Satan is in control of his mind 😮😢!!!
He's a coward he preys on the weak
It’s important to note that there was no one for him to victimize in prison. A “model inmate” blankets over too much that must be accounted for. I don’t disagree with you entirely but feel this concept largely discounts the reality of violent offenders in an unproductive and disrespectful way. Drug offenses? Petty crimes? Far more applicable. Torture and murder are not bad habits.
I cannot understand why that daughter wants to look up and bond with a stranger that was never her relationship father; a violently man who is a sadistic evil devil (by his own admission) and who probably would kill and rape her own children without any remorse (by his own admission)....what crazy sort of need makes you travel and seek this piece of filth out...and then say "what a nice polite man he is."
He really had those psychiatrists fooled
Totally!!
Why do they keep this monster alive?..
Something has gone terribly wrong with our justice system. Terribly wrong.
He is most likely responsible for some missing people in the 70s when he lived in Watertown.
A complete and utter monster. Why the hell would Maggie want him to be a part of her childrens lives.
this is the most unsettling mf I’ve ever seen
He's blinking is freaking me out... Triple chin monster!!!
I think he's faking the blinking
Plea bargain on two childrens brutal deaths?! Disgusting. Just think, if he had gotten life or the death penalty- the right choice- those other women would have lived. The supposed daughter is deeply disturbed/clueless- wanting to have a relationship with a biological serial killer dad she never knew... and bringing her kids to meet with him to boot! :(
Our society wants to fix criminals and give perps a second chance. If your victim doesn’t get a second chance then neither should you.
I like how these guys always have a excuse as to why the murder people
It’s not an excuse, it’s a cycle of behaviour.
Check out Joel Rifkin's interview with the FBI profiler. (he's a famous one, but his name escapes me.) VERY candid, almost refreshingly so. Obviously he's a monster but his interview is at least more interesting than other serial killers who weave ridiculous stories to try and make their crimes seem less than they were.
Just like politicians
@@RealKateWhite Do you have any clue as to how many people are abused by their parents or guardian figures?! If it's about a "cycle of behaviour" as you claim then why aren't we having serial killers like Shawcross pop up in mind numbing numbers across the globe? Why did Arthur Shawcross attempt to hide his crimes if he didn't know what he was doing or wasn't at full capacity at the time of killing?
The excuse of "it's a cycle of behaviour" that you and pretentious intellectuals cling to is just something you like to point at because you don't believe in someone being 100% responsible for their own conduct! Either that or you're very disconnected from reality. I bet you blame your Mommy and Daddy for everything wrong in your life.
Well, it wouldn't make sense to not have a reason to murder someone. You look at it as an excuse when really it's just the reason. They get asked why they did it and they answer the question and for some off reason, you look at it as an excuse.
If someone made him angry and he snaps her neck, is that an excuse or just the reason?
If he was curious as to what it feels like to murder, is that an excuse or just the reason?
If he gets kicks out of it, would that also be an excuse or just the reason?
If he believed prostitution was satanic work and believed he was doing God's work, is that an excuse or just the reason?
Even if he said he murdered for no particular reason; just because, would you also say, "They always have excuses!"?
If you ask any murderer why they murdered they are going to give you an explanation, aren't they? And you can simply assert it's an excuse after they do so. Would it make you happier if they never answer the question?
The judge should've included a condition that every and all future blinks shall be prevented forthwith!
If these were "high value" women, the sentence would've been far different.
With the caliber of women, I hope that woman who believes because her mother told her so, that's her "father" had a DNA test done.
He got 250 years. 25 years for each murder. No eligibility for parole. What do you think the sentence would have been if the women weren’t prostitutes? He got what he deserved! Only thing that could have been better would be the death penalty.
I'm so sick of that nonsense. It's always said, but it is simply not true. Victims are victims, regardless, and we all know that.
However, there is a significantly increased probability of murder for prostitutes. It's a risk they know they are taking. I'm not blaming them, just stating a fact. Those women mist have been so desperate and vulnerable. It's sad.
Maybe Freud’s theories on daughters and fathers aren’t so unreal after all…
The daughter didn’t know this man for 40 years but now “needs” him in her life?
He admittedly has no remorse for over a dozen murders yet she’s dedicated towards building a relationship with this killer and has influenced her children to share her same belief system.
Wow! Her husband better watch out. Looks like he’s in completion with his father-in-law
He's not blinking he's sending out moris code while giving this interview. Genius
What was his message?
He has no remorse but in the way he blinks im pretty sure he knows Morse...
I can read a coded message when he speak to the reporter:
"One more of those questions and im killing you"
27:09
If he went into this stupor of seeing a bright white light and blacking out and not remembering anything, just "waking up" with a dead body next to him......then how did he know EXACTLY how he killed these women???? He even demonstrated how for the interviewer and pressed his thumb into his own neck to show how he killed them...what a freaking fool of a woman!!!
And that he did it because he thought they gave him aids so hardly a spare of the moment thing
If your crazy and you know it, blink your eyes……
😂
Most likely TD.tardive dyskinsea. Caused by long term use of psychiatric drugs.
😮 if you crazy and you know it and your not afraid to show..blink your eyes..what a low life piece of ..
OMG, I'm crying. 🤣🤣🤣
Looool 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
The fact that they had him out after killing two children is just as sick
Scum. And this idiot psychologist trying to make him sound like he had no responsibility in it.
Our country is very corrupt. Mostly ran by kiddy diddlers, pedos, And just very sick individuals. We have government officials who’ve been arrested for forcibly forcing themselves on women and children, for robbery, DUIs, among many other things.
You'd think that anyone involved with his release are just as guilty of his further murders.
The problem is sometimes closure for families comes at a cost. You have to ask yourself if it was your child and only he knew where the body was would you want to know so you could have closure? If so then the prosecutor would have to make him a deal. He did his time for the first crime but unfortunately got out and did it again. While I agree with you it’s terrible, the law was followed and unfortunately again if police don’t have the body and need information they have to cut a deal to get the information.
He shouldn't have got out in the first place for that exact reason, he should've got LIFE for taking the first life then it would've prevented the second @@zachariah1990
No remorse, no chin either. Just neck and face.
Too funny ..lol
Exactly!!!!
Actually....all he HAS is a chin- no neck-
But you comment's clowning either way.
That's o.k. He won't need remorse or a chin in Hell.
Have y'all seen the videos of him trying to pretend to have multiple personalities?!? He acts like he's his own mother who kills the girls, etc.
Later on, in these interviews, you don't see anything at all like the supposed multiples.
He confessed to the murder of the little girl and they knew he murdered the boy too. Why on earth was this monster ever allowed to walk free? A complete failure of the justice system. Disgusting.
It’s New York you can beat the crap out of cops and get released without paying a dime 😂 what a messed up state
LIBERALS won’t allow death penalty
The American justice system, in and of itself, is a complete and total failure.
Lawyers. Lawyers.
Thank the justices
This is what happens when you let a murdering paedophile out of jail after 14 years. Madness.
Unfortunately that's what happens in a left-wing democrat communist state like New York. I know, because I live here.
Personal experience?
Incompetent police officers who also lack empathy towards the victims helped the killer as usual.
@@MadScientist267What? This is stupid , the comment was saying its insane they let these type people out!
@@rickpeterson8825 Congrats for having zero reading comprehension.
Maybe with a brain you'd be able to work out what was meant.
absolutely disgraceful to be given only 15 yrs for a double child murder. Unbelievable.
Not to make this serious topic a joking matter, because I absolutely agree with you. But I initially read your comment as “double chinned murderer,” which is also fitting 😂
That what happens when powerful and corrupt people are on your side. I'm pretty sure his father or uncle or someone was a high ranking gov or military official. I remember hearing something like that about this case but would need to verify.
@@ashbagsI was on my way to write this! Laughed my balls off
Yup that’s the world we live.
I thought he got 250 years
The daughter is sick, too. I would never allow my kids around my rapist let alone a murderer.
Absolutely bonkers what that moron is thinking. "Here, meet your grandkids." What the actual F
Yeah, that blew my mind! He MIGHT just be a psycho because the daughter is showing the gene by trying to have a relationship with him.
She is sick, like he is
His daughter is smoking hot
She must be sick like him. He passed that crazy right down to her
He doesn't feel affection for his grandkids and daughter. He has learned to mimic affection, like all psychopaths.
U read too many books
@dylanboude6764 my bad. U right. Mixed them up.
We cant say that for sure...One thing that is for sure; He never should have met them, and or, he is right where he belongs...If he ever got out, he would damn sure kill again...
@cheesypotat0es According to almost all studies, psychopaths can feel some kind of emotion under the right circumstances or when it's part of their goal/agenda. They also have a lower sense of emotional response. Meaning that the link between love-action is damaged. They don't respond to love the way the rest of us do, and they don't show love like the rest of us do. They feel it in some way. But it doesn't affect anything. That feeling is like an inanimate object. It's there, but it doesn't do anything. Therefore, they are capable of doing acts that to us seem "cruel" or "heinous." Because the feeling of love also links together with the feeling of regret, empathy, and our conscience
How does being psychopatic feel to you? Are you diagnosed?
I'm from Rochester N.Y. and this is terrifying and so sad. Who gets a plea deal for a 15 year prison sentence after killing two children? That's why he got out and killed 11 more people.
Exactly! That’s what I said. This could have been avoided. None of these women had to die. Justice system failed once again.
I was shocked when i heard that. They could have promised him whatever, but it did nit mean that they should have fulfilled what they promised. They wouldnt have any guilty conscience lying to him. Now they have guilty conscience of freeing him
Blue State justice.
I'm from Rochester i lived near Luella Ave and I constantly seen him and the one homeless woman he killed i even talked to him once
@@carliemccoy7659 what did he say? I'm from Buffalo, little farther away
His daughter has no moral compass. To keep in contact with him, and to allow and encourage her children to keep in contact with him, proves this point. Disgusting.
What do u expect. It's his daughter bruhh!!

You can't choose who love, but then again, she might be doing it as a publicity stunt
Being related to him is a problem he like a monster .
The crimes he committed shows a level of planning and coordination not in line with a man who is mentally "unaware" of his actions. The insanity excuse is such a crock of bull.
I will never understand why we continue to keep people like this in jail and alive. He serves no purpose.
Because life emprisonment is worse than a quick death.
@georgedorschner5552 ...no, not really...there are ppl who were incarcerated all their lives then released...they don't know how to live in the modern day anymore cuz the world has changed so much so they knowingly do a crime with the intent of going back into the system....being out is worse then in....
...yeah it does, payouts.
Bleeding heart liberals my friend
Executions are more expensive on average than life without in prison and have more built-in appeals, which means more chances for an overturned sentence, particularly with Shawcross because his lawyers tried to argue insanity.
Criminals like this should not be rewarded luxuries such as visitations or contact with the outside world.
He died in 2008. May he rot in hell
Or air.
Send all our criminals to china and N Korea, they'll care for them.
The punishment is incarceration.
@@debbrown9365 China/ N Korea...short holiday
this documentary isn't about a killer it's about what a broken justice system is like
This ⬆️
His daughter is exposing her own children to a human monster. I cannot wrap my head around that.
@@Luv2Comment069No it isn't.
@Luv2Comment069 that's not the saying. The saying is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" wich means that familial bonds doesn't mean shit. I don't get why people got this saying so wrong. It's quite LITTERALLY the opposite meaning of the saying.
Blood is definitely actually thicker than water also. Lol @@JAWS-dn8fm
He's dead since 2008
Right?
Love the "not responsible for his action by reason of insanity", yet he can say how many minutes it takes to strangle someone... bullshit. He knew exactly what he was doing. He may have anger and self control issues and PTSD, but in no way is it an excuse or justification for what he did.
I agree! I feel like 'not guilty by reason of insanity' should be for people who have schizophrenia or something like that - people who are suffering from delusions, think the people they're killing are spies here to kidnap them, hallucinating, etc. People who are just angry and sadistic aren't less culpable. They're obviously not right in the head (no one who murders is), but they're not unaware
@nwvfd22 There's "innocent by reason of insanity" which sets them free, or "Guilty but insane" which sends them to a psychiatric ward for the criminally insane. Imagine living there! A living nightmare!
PTSD for being a supply clerk...nah.
You believe someone that isn’t insane would do this?
@GrizzlyAdams101 I forget the researcher's name, but his findings are that 3 elements are required to make a serial killer: 1) Brain damage 2) Slow Heart Rate 3) Adverse childhood issues. Brain damage isn't always obvious. Child abuse is common. People with slow heart rates require more stimulation or excitement. The man being interviewed is particularly dull.
I don’t understand why his daughter took her children to meet a serial killer in prison. It’s not an experience to which I’d subject my children.
Because his daughter wishes to bask in the infamy of her father’s crimes , and I would bet when she meets people she is bursting to tell them her father is a serial killer - that’s my guess !
Most likely to stop herself from boring people to death .
I wonder if he was only convicted of the first two murders she would be so eager to stay in touch with him.
She needs to take a long hard look at herself ?
I know. She’s probably just as twisted as he is! Especially knowing he killed children! 🥴
I yelled WTF. My hubby just couldn't understand her thinking
Never would I even consider bringing my child to visit a child killing serial killer in prison. Never.
Γιατί η τρέλα δεν πάει στα βουνά για αυτό
She said he didn’t know what he was doing yet he would sit there and say exactly what he was doing and even go back to visit the dead. He knew what he was doing.
His daughter is insane
My guess is she's seeking fame.
Genetics
Like father like daughter
Totally!
Apples don't fall far from the tree. She's a nut too
The daughter cannot be that crazy. She went 40 years without knowing him and now she can’t get enough of him and has even included her children. She must be profiting from this. That’s no excuse but the only thing that I can think of. She’s sick in the head as well.
I agree that the daughter must be sick in the head to. Thank goodness his son had nothing to do with him.
I think she's sleeping with him
@@Jeff-sp7bg🤢🤮
She most likely will end up publishing a tell all book since he told her what he did to those children but won’t talk about it otherwise (she’s sick! She has kids that age!). Getting paid for interviews after he dies. And probably has a decent life insurance policy on him. She doesn’t deserve to even be a mother exposing her children to that evil man.
@@alexandersolomon7472 it’s unbelievable right. Did you know that he has a son from his first wife. He didn’t want anything to do with him. That monster died in 2008 but this video doesn’t mention that.
The justice system failed big time when they gave him that plea bargain in Watertown for those 2 child murders! He never should have been paroled! This all could have been avoided. I can’t believe they actually gave him that plea bargain. Crazy!
A lot of politics involved. They probably didn't think they could convince a jury based on the evidence. Doesn't make it right but that's likely the reason.
US law...laughable at best
fucking ridiculous. due to a 2nd murder (& child rape) he gets charges reduced? that makes no sense to anyone. I'm assuming corruption was involved - money, or his wife fucked the right people. I mean they could have offered him something, without letting him off for 2 murders.
It’s crazy right. His crimes go back to when he was 17
That's what people on the left want
He duped the psychiatrist. She thought he wold just " wake up" with a body next to him and not know what happened. But he can describe how he killed them
Wold?
He didnt want to talk about watertown cause he knows he did disgusting things to those kids
💯😡💯😡💯
I wonder if he’s in protective custody. Because I’m not sure how he made it in prison with those charges. And now this go around. I wonder if he’s ever been attacked while in custody. That’s a slap in the face to those parents! Only 15 years for the little girl, and a get out of jail free card for the little boy for giving up info. No Justice for the poor little boy at all.
yep. I wish they would have used the interview to keep messing with him about those kids & his moms actions.
That's a fact. And I bet he's done his best to keep it out of his list of charges too. Weirdos like him can't survive in jail anyway though so..... let them torture him
@alexandersolomon7472 he's dead cardiac arrest in 2008 I believe was the year.
Don’t understand why people like this are kept alive.
🎯 AGREE! Sickening!
Nothing New York does makes sense😂
Liberals
Pretentious virtue signalers saying bogus crap like 2 wrongs don't make a right, between him and god, a lifetime in prison is worse than a quick death, etc.
He was a waste of life and defective.
I disagree with Dr. Dorothy Lewis in the hypothesis that Shawcross essentially "blacked out" when he murdered his victims due to a "partial seizure."
As an investigator, I assess that he knew *exactly* what he was doing, but (I submit) lost all control to stop.
His Watertown crimes are a NO GO TOPIC for Shawcross because *HE REMEMBERED EXACTLY what he did.
Was there damage in his right frontal lobe? Probably, and due most likely by his stint in Vietnam, BUT, that does not justify the unjust taking of lives.
This is what happened to my former husband while he was attempting to strangle me to death. I think he just wanted to frighten me and then he lost all control and kept going until I lost consciousness.
It's a long sordid situation. I will state I fought this monster off me because I wanted to live for our son who was five years old at the time. I fought death, I ignored my deceased mother who was beckoning me to go with her - all because I knew I needed to raise my son and not him.
My son now is 21 years old. He is a very kind, thoughtful, empathetic young man because I raised him. Thank God somehow, I believe, God and/or His Angels helped me.

This documentary was so engaging, it felt like it was over in the blink of an eye.

Bizarre.
So disturbed, and he looks like a man I know. Same look in his eyes😳
@@aruvielevenstar3944 crazy
Give grandpa a hug.
Damn creeped out.Hugged them with the Same hands that took all those lives. The court knew he was guilty and still he lived. Even meeting Grandkids. Sickening. He killed kids too. Then hugged those Grandkids. He needed to be brought straight from the courthouse to the Gallows! He was a big waste of space. None of his victims had any rights or last suppers, or goodbyes. Nor should he have. Cocky bastard. Hope he didn't pass the serial killer gene on.
The justice system failed deeply by not charging him with the murder of the little boy and then he only served 15 years but they knew he had killed two children. How could they let him out????
That's how fucked up the American justice system is.

What justice system? Too many plea bargains 🤬😡🤬🤬🤬
Don't you just love it when they blame their victims
Wackos
It is a slap in the face to all the victim’s families that this guy is still alive.
The justice system has so many flaws. He happily sees his daughter and grandkids while the victim’s family will never ever see them ever again.
Well stated. 🎯
He not alive he died 16 years ago back in 2008
He wasn't even charged for the rape and murder on the young boy. So he wasn't probably registered as a sex offender even. That was plain wrong. And so he went right back to business after his jail sentence for only 15 years. What a mistake.
Well back then there was no such a thing as a registered sex offender
Lol you people. Do you just assume everything always existed?
Fun fact #1: There was a time when there was no such thing as the Internet and people still had common sense... I seen it.
Fun fact #2: There was a time when clowns like this guy were able to simply set up camp in a new yard somewhere and press replay on their life to date. It wasn't until society got sick of this cloak and dagger MO they all utilized that "registered sex offender" came to be a thing.
Now about that common sense thing... the Internet isn't going anywhere, but........
It ought to be a firing squad for such people.
My church pastor said I should pick out a random person and “bless” them with a dirt nap.
Served less that 15 yrs for murdering two children and was out to start killing again. This justice system is beyond pathetic
That’s New York 😂
