Poor lass and lad - just going on a date and they end up murdered. The lad having gone through the war only to come home and be murdered. The lass - the family having buried their daughter/sister, now only to be told the head is not your sister - funeral home mix up?! May they both RIP. Thanks for this Ron x
Would be interesting to know if there were similar incidents that happened in the area around the same time. The idea of a serial killer had not been formed in the 40s, and communication between police departments was not the best. Thanks, Ron, for another great video.
I live in the neighborhood where Mary Jane lived. Ever since I found out about this case, I've been thinking about the victims. I visited Mary Jane's grave today. They will not be forgotten
@@lar6263 Mr. Richard’s. U should share where ur son lies in rest & share the story with Ron. If u wanted to share with us all. Ron does SUCH an amazingly good, kind, respectful job! & He goes on these trips to seek out interesting stories of the long since past! Just a thought!! God Bless & May ur beloved son Rest in Peace! 🙏🏻
@alex c.richards mom I'm so sorry to hear this. It is a terrible thing to lose a child, but even worse in your circumstances. I wish you the brightest of blessings x
Thank you Ron. I was 8yo when Mary Jane died, a sad story. i remember my first love Annette when she was 17 and i was around the same age, we were planning to marry, sadly her father had other ideas and when i went abroad with my Battalion, i received a 'Dear John", letter. In those days, Annette was a Catholic, i wasn't. I always admire the patriotism of the American people regarding deceased Veterans, it is not the same in my country. Bob. New Zealand.
Thank you for your service Bob. Unfortunately here in the U.S. we are forgetting our Veterans as well. Know that some of us will never forget the service of the men and women who keep us free including yours. God Bless 🙏❤️
Hello Ron it's Isabell here in Tucson Arizona. This is such a sad story about a young lady who didn't even get a chance to live her life. Whoever did this awful thing might be alive but they probably will never say anything. If only someone could have heard from the criminal themselves. Like maybe talking about it when they were drunk.. IDK 😐 But I think you're right Ron this case will probably never be solved. Mary Jane and Stan were cheated out of their lives. RIP precious young couple,may God wrap his arms around you for eternity. Thank you for telling their story Ron, you are amazing telling these stories with such respect and love
Wow. These stories just touch the heart so much. The cases that don’t get solved are so dang sad. I can’t imagine the fatigue it puts on the families to have no answers at all. May she rest in joy.
Stories like this remind us how random life is. Oh, if she had left 10 minutes later, she wouldn't have had an accident, or even poor Mary Jane and her date. If they had gone out the next night perhaps the perpetrator wouldn't have been there to kill them. That's why we should see each day as a gift and enjoy our loved ones to the fullest. You really don't ever know. I enjoyed your video today Ron, thank you.
It's so sad to know that this girl was murdered along with her boyfriend And the lowlife that took their lives got away with murder don't know how anyone can kill someone and live with that on their conscience. R.I P
Who ever did this horrific act will not get away with it when they stand before Almighty God and give an accounting of what they did on earth. They will be punished. Rest in Peace to both of these beautiful souls.
@@shirleyashanti3031 shirleya totally agree with you can't understand how these people can kill and just have no sense of the act they committed and feel no emotion to their heinous deed. All.the best to you greetings from Connecticut.
agree, thats why I don't narrate my stories, if able I always want to be out there. that said, this Sunday night- I had to narrate that one, but I went outside in the woods to record it. still not as good as really walking and hearing the real sounds.
The moral of this story is tampering with the unknown is just gonna throw up more question's than answer's rest easy mary jane reed🙏🏻....thanks for sharing ron..
Such a sad, mysterious case. Who ever was responsible would now be long dead…I wonder if Mary Jane and her date were their only victims? And what of the skull being a man’s? Very strange. I can only hope all concerned found peace. Thanks for sharing, Ron.
Ann that part of Mary Janes story. Sure became confusing. Like who was this man laying in the sisters grave.? Was there even a bullet hole seen in that skull ? So many questions😮
Rest in peace to all. So very sad. We were warned about lover's lanes, never to go because weird people hung around them. This case brings memories of that Son of Sam case. Humans can be so mean. What a tragedy for the families.
I’m so glad that I found your channel, I love all the videos you do Ron! This story like so many others, helps us to remember those people who are truly forgotten. Thank you
Its amazing to me how many murders go unsolved even to this day. Im sure some of them are done by murderers who get caught in other crimes but there has to be a number of them where the person actually gets away with murder and who knows how many people have interacted with that murderer including their own family who've never had a clue what they have done
I think about this a lot too. There’s so many old cases in USA, UK and Australia, that look like they’ll never be solved . Some of the cases keep me awake some nights hoping for resolution for the remaining family members
I was hoping this would be a case that got solved through DNA. It’s interesting that the brother would’ve wanted a sketch of Mary Jane upon exhumation. I wonder if there had been rumors that it wasn’t his sister in the grave and the sheriff wouldn’t (understandably so) apply for exhumation without something to corroborate the rumor and justify the retrieval. The killer/s might not answer for these atrocious murders in terms of man’s law, but I firmly believe he will face judgment one day.
My mother told me about this case and the lovers lane murders. This story and lovers lane murders was used to scare teens in the 50's. I'm from Rockford and thought I recognized the cemetery and the Reed tombstone. I never made the connection until seeing this.
Poor girl was not only murdered, but unsolved and body isn’t really at rest. And very true about not forgetting the smell of death. Years ago during end of summer, my kid was with me on a walk and he was little at the time, we passed over the river which barely running through at that point but I could smell strong odor. I didn’t want to go looking since he was with me, got home but got side tracked dealing with dad duties. Couple of days later, a body was found of a drowning victim maybe 100 feet from the bridge we had crossed.
Thank you Ron , as always you tell the story like no one else how horrible to die so young and not to have lived your life…..RIP Mary Jane your resting I’m sure with the angels that greeted you so many years ago.🥀
I read about this case several years ago. It was quite a story. When she was exhumed in 2005, I recall reading that the dress she was originally going to wear in her brother’s wedding that became what was supposed to be her burial clothing was found stuffed between her casket and the burial vault. I mean, what...? I think it was sometime in the last ten years that a nephew of Stanley Skridla, upon finding out about what was NOT found in Mary Jane Reed’s casket, petitioned the court to have his uncle exhumed as well. The...missing part...was not in Skridla’s casket, either. I don’t think it will ever be known for sure who killed these two. Or maybe just not officially known. Like with anything else, there are a lot of theories and rumors about it. Sad that these two never got the chance to see if they might have become a couple. Just ordinary people-until they weren’t. It makes no sense why someone would have wanted them dead. As long as the killer or killers remain unknown, it never will.
That is very suspicious about the dress! Makes me wonder was her murderer looming around the cemetery and disturbed her casket/vault before they lowered it into the ground or before they covered it over with dirt. I say this because I attended a funeral and nobody stayed for the casket to be lowered into the ground/vault. I did. But nobody else did. And then the grounds were closing so I couldn't stay for the actual burial and they were going to bury another before they did that burial since the other burial, the family and friends were normal and stayed for the entire burial. Unlike the funeral I was attending where everyone left before the body was lowered. So, unattended and left vulnerable, anyone could easily mess around with the casket, body, vault. I wanted to see he was properly buried but couldn't because the cemetery was closing (5 PM). Was the body safely buried? No idea. I hope so. But I worry about such things because I know there are a lot of crazies out there who do weird stuff. So see, what if her casket or vault were left unattended and her dress was taken off and she was desecrated and her dress stuffed between the casket and vault.
Such a sad and strange story. I feel the killer was someone who knew her and possibly was at that dance hall when she and her boyfriend were there that night. Killed the bf to get him out of the way, as his/their focus was on Mary Jane. Lovers lanes were and still remain as dangerous places, sadly enough.
She had been seen being slapped by someone in law enforcement in a restaurant in Oregon before this happened. Apparently they were dating and had an argument in front of everyone 🧐🤔
It’s not the brother who had the skull but the Restaurant owner, Mike Arians, who was trying to write a book about this. Also, Daysville is a township, (a section of the county) not a town.
Thank you for sharing this very sad story of Mary Jane Reed. It is so sad when a murder case turns cold and never gets solved. I think the hardest part is that the family never gets closure for their loved one. It is nice that they did find her body and that of her boyfriend and least they knew where she was. RIP Mary Jane!
This is a terrible thing to have happened to this couple. It was strange with the skull coming back as a male. I would think they would have had a funeral service for her, so maybe the place that took care of her body slipped up...there's always horror stories out there about funeral homes. 😮
That’s so unfortunate that the creep who did this got away with it, at least until he meets his maker. As a retired police officer you get accustomed to all aspects of death including the smell. If they did find something with DNA the chances of the person still being alive is slim. Take care Ron, great as usual.
You know, there is indeed such treasures awaiting You in Heaven. I hope everytime you talk about these victims an Angel in heaven goes to tell them. 💙 I’m sure You will a host of people waiting to meet you. Thank you so much for what you do.
So if that body that was exhumed was a man and therefore Mary Jane had not been found then what happened to her. Perhaps that was two completely different murders. Very strange indeed. Why would her brother be in charge of the body? It is all so weird and sad.
Dear Ron thank you for sharing with us all very sad story of Mary Jane, She will always be remembered and never forgotten! Dear Ron be safe on your road trip, God bless you always!❤️🙏😇👏
Thank you for telling this sad and melancholic story Ron. What a tragic ending! It is so unjust that two innocent people are murdered and the culprits escape their punishment. RIP. Stay safe and keep well.
Too bad most people back then couldn’t even imagine the breakthroughs DNA evidence would provide. There were countless times the clothing or other evidence was thrown away if the victim’s family didn’t want it. RIP Mary Jane🕊
Hi Ron Mary Jane looked like my mother. That gorgeous hair and figure. And Stanley her boyfriend in the Navy. My Dad was in the Army. What a Tragic story. Very sad story and still an open case. Murder case's I'm told are never closed. Thank you for sharing this story Ron not forgotten
Hello RC! welcome back home big guy. A very strange, sad, but an interesting story and very well told, life in general can be very strange. But thanks to you Ron, we will REMEMBER Mary Jane Reed, in our prayers, REST IN PEACE-MARY JANE REED, and to the REED family, God bless...
It is exceedingly important to bring these horrifically bungled cold cases to light. So that it can be stressed that only qualified extremely well trained perfessionals. Should be allowed to have these positions. Two scenes where the criminal left a abundant amount of evidence. That could still exist from a properly processed crime seen. By proper genuinely qualified professional officials. Allowing any poorly qualified individuals to take any important position. Where lives are at stake, is the worst type of devastating crime. Due to official misconducts still ongoing.
It's just terrible both were taken at such a young age. Neither had the opportunity to experience life. Rip Mary jane Reed. Thank you - Ron for bring her to us. 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
I've been to Daysville cemetery a few times. Know of the Reed story. There was a tavern/ restaurant on the outside of Oregon that was named the Roadhouse that had a connection and I believe there was some memorobila there that connected with the events as well. Its been a few years since I was there, however, very mysterious situation for sure.
@@katrinakeogh2032 Yes, there is a WOW factor there for sure. I have my own wow story. In 1986 I was 11 years old and on my grandfathers farm we had a shooting range. I shot a gun that was later used in a double murder in Belvidere Illinois in 1986 at a restaurant named the Golden Corral at the time. My grandfather was a good friend to this man, and I remember he brought two revolvers to the farm for target practice. It was then I was allowed to shoot the gun only one time with the six rounds in the chamber. The man's wife was mentally impaired and used the two guns in a double homicide there only a short time later. It would go without saying that me and my grandfather were beyond shocked when we were informed of the occurance. It is a very indescribable feeling to know that I had shot a gun used in a double homicide later. I still have a little trouble just knowing that to this day. Thank you to whoever reads my story.
Wow RIP Beautiful Angel 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Horrible Story For Real 🙏🌹 Mary Jane Reed 🌹🙏 She was so beautiful and very young 2 😪 U R Amazing Story Teller And Be Safe K Ron From Edinburg Texas
Too bad you couldnt come to my town in AB Canada there is an old children's cemetery that had most of the bodies moved to the town cemetery but they left the plague victims there at the old one. The area fell into disrepair and that allowed a pine/ spruce forest to grow thickly around it. The place is absolutely dark and unmarked just a small trail marks the area off the road across a broken barb wire fence. Some of the graves have white picket fences around them. It's very spooky.
Thanks Ron for sharing this sad story. Like you said this case will Probably never be solved. DNA would be a good start but I have a feeling any evidence from that case is already long gone. They were probably followed from one of the taverns they went to and killed. She was probably raped before being killed. The killer is most likely dead already. It’s a shame. Young couple that would have been probably married early 1950’s and then had kids who would be in their late 60’s to 70’s now with kids and grandkids of their own. Very sad. RIP 🙏
Thank you Ron. If there was no criminal justice I at least hope that karma made up for it in some way. On another note I was thinking about your visit to Tammy Daybell's grave today when her sister took the stand in the Lori Vallow trial. Heartwrenching stuff. 💔
75 years ago!
And only family would remember.
But, you have brought these two young people to the hearts of thousands.
Well done Ron.
Poor lass and lad - just going on a date and they end up murdered. The lad having gone through the war only to come home and be murdered. The lass - the family having buried their daughter/sister, now only to be told the head is not your sister - funeral home mix up?! May they both RIP. Thanks for this Ron x

Rumor has it there was some one in law enforcement people that were involved 🙄
@@jackwright9960 Yes, a local Sheriffs Deputy, who had a romantic interest in her.
@Mike D yes it was kept huss but the lord knows 🙏
Big cover up from years ago . With the help of others in Oregon's circle of leaders.
My mom graduated that year. So very sad Mary Jane wasn’t able to get married, have children and grandkids. RIP
Would be interesting to know if there were similar incidents that happened in the area around the same time. The idea of a serial killer had not been formed in the 40s, and communication between police departments was not the best. Thanks, Ron, for another great video.
Very sad for all of the families involved.
They think it was a local sheriffs deputy who had been dating her but were never able to produce enough evidence for trial.

Hello RC! welcome back home big guy. A very strange, sad, but an interesting story and very well told, life in general can be very strange. But thanks to you Ron, we will REMEMBER Mary Jane Reed, in our prayers, REST IN PEACE-MARY JANE REED, and to the REED family, God bless...
It is exceedingly important to bring these horrifically bungled cold cases to light. So that it can be stressed that only qualified extremely well trained perfessionals. Should be allowed to have these positions. Two scenes where the criminal left a abundant amount of evidence. That could still exist from a properly processed crime seen. By proper genuinely qualified professional officials. Allowing any poorly qualified individuals to take any important position. Where lives are at stake, is the worst type of devastating crime. Due to official misconducts still ongoing.
thankyou for sharing this sad story may they rest in peace
It's just terrible both were taken at such a young age. Neither had the opportunity to experience life. Rip Mary jane Reed. Thank you - Ron for bring her to us. 🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
More questions than answers. Thank you,Ron
There is a Girl Scout Camp in Oregon , Illinois. Nice place !
I've been to Daysville cemetery a few times. Know of the Reed story. There was a tavern/ restaurant on the outside of Oregon that was named the Roadhouse that had a connection and I believe there was some memorobila there that connected with the events as well. Its been a few years since I was there, however, very mysterious situation for sure.
Wow! 😳
@@katrinakeogh2032 Yes, there is a WOW factor there for sure. I have my own wow story. In 1986 I was 11 years old and on my grandfathers farm we had a shooting range. I shot a gun that was later used in a double murder in Belvidere Illinois in 1986 at a restaurant named the Golden Corral at the time. My grandfather was a good friend to this man, and I remember he brought two revolvers to the farm for target practice. It was then I was allowed to shoot the gun only one time with the six rounds in the chamber. The man's wife was mentally impaired and used the two guns in a double homicide there only a short time later. It would go without saying that me and my grandfather were beyond shocked when we were informed of the occurance. It is a very indescribable feeling to know that I had shot a gun used in a double homicide later. I still have a little trouble just knowing that to this day. Thank you to whoever reads my story.
Thanks for sharing this Ron and remembering these two people.
Thank you.

Sad story R.I.P Mary Jane Reed. Thank you Ron for this sad story. God bless and stay safe 🙏
Remembering these long gone stories give life and dignity them, again thank you from Australia
So many crazies out there and the world is so much worse now
Too bad you couldnt come to my town in AB Canada there is an old children's cemetery that had most of the bodies moved to the town cemetery but they left the plague victims there at the old one. The area fell into disrepair and that allowed a pine/ spruce forest to grow thickly around it. The place is absolutely dark and unmarked just a small trail marks the area off the road across a broken barb wire fence. Some of the graves have white picket fences around them. It's very spooky.
i feel very sad for her 😔Thanks sir amazing job GOD bless you n protect you always all the best 👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Great story thank you Ron. Do you ever get out to Idaho? Lots of great old cemetery’s there!
I have select stories there on my list, hope to get there someday, but no immediate plans yet! sorry. stay with me!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this interesting and sad story.
Good morning too you Ron from Philippines😊

Why would the family members need to take her skull to a forensic artist? I hate to say it but that story doesn't make any sense
I agree!! what is the result expect?? for what?
You were born a travelin' man. ❤
RIP Mary Jane Reed 💐 🌷 🌸 🌹.
Great Video but Ron it was called in those days Sparking. 😃
or spanking 😃
That is the most bizarre story I have ever heard and why did they want the sketch in the first place
Thanks Ron for sharing this sad story.
Like you said this case will
Probably never be solved. DNA would be a good start but I have a feeling any evidence from that case is already long gone.
They were probably followed from one of the taverns they went to and killed. She was probably raped before being killed.
The killer is most likely dead already.
It’s a shame. Young couple that would have been probably married early 1950’s and then had kids who would be in their late 60’s to 70’s now with kids and grandkids of their own.
Very sad.
RIP 🙏
So did the male Asian skull have a bullet hole in it?
Great question
hmmmm
A very interesting story was that of Elfego Baca and the Frisco shootout. Elfego is buried in Albuquerque at Sunset memorial Park.
Thanks for sharing this
Thank you Ron. If there was no criminal justice I at least hope that karma made up for it in some way. On another note I was thinking about your visit to Tammy Daybell's grave today when her sister took the stand in the Lori Vallow trial. Heartwrenching stuff. 💔
Sad. Night parking at lover lane is always so dangerous.
Very sad..... Thanks, Ron, for remembering them! ♥
Hello Ron.
sad story, hope Mary Jane [and Stan} is resting in peace 🙏🙏 thanks for sharing this, Ron 👍👋
Ron have you checked out fairview cemetery yet in dekalb il or bunny man Bridge in Virginia
