"This guy robs houses like I start TH-cam channels" made me snort-laugh out loud. You nearly got me thrown out of the library, Simon.
He's self aware
... crying for mommy while yanking off? Apparently a successful MO.
I pray this is an English expression with which I am not familiar...?
@@chasefrancis8742 Sorry, I was referring to how the killer acted while robbing houses... my mind ran to equalling 'like' with 'in the same manner.' I meant it jokingly, and no intent of offense (other than the way dark humor is kind of ever present). I will remove the comment if you prefer it so.
:: cackles :: Right there with you, Laura Chapple. I was listening to this at work, as I often do, and got frowned at by my co-workers.
That town hall meeting was INTENSE (according to my dad). Parents didn't tell kids about it (I was about 10 when it started). Gun sales after that meeting went through the roof. And since he became so fond of sliding glass doors we all discovered how safe they *weren't* and bought dowels to put in the tracks of the doors and every window. I mean, this guy was "a real jerk!"
Norm is that you?
Jen has truly outdone herself on this one! Her editing gets better with every episode and I choose youtube rather than a podcast soley for her sass. Much love and appreciation to her!
Agreed. The "No mames guey" caught me so of guard lol.
Wtf💀
GSK: “I have such a temper that I went and did a whole bunch of murders because of unresolved issues with this woman I fell in love with when I was younger and also the fact that I’m just basically evil as hell”
Simon: “Yeah man, me too, I broke a spatula this one time”
Excellent stuff, Simon. The first step is admitting you have a problem, I reckon.
If someone starts breaking people's spatulas we'll have a suspect lol
SpongeBob won’t be happy if you start breaking spatulas
@Boots neither would I, they're useful :
Welcome to male entitlement
two things to look out for in potential serial killers. killing/torturing animals and breaking spatulas...
For rape and murder and any other crimes causing bodily harm, there should be no statute of limitations. In the past those statutes existed because DNA wasn't a thing. It just made things too messy to take he said, she said, which is already a tough case to argue, to court after many years when you didn't even have DNA and memories could be wishywashy. We have DNA now. Statutes of limitations are no longer necessary.
In a lot of countries, there isn't one, at least for murder. In Germany, they used that to prosecute people tangentially involved in Nazi warcrimes.
Agree I really FUCKING hate statute of limitations and am glad that it is not really a thing in the UK
@@MoonAndStars25the UK just has corroboration. The DNA means nothing if there’s no witness to corroborate it.
Source? I’m a rape baby. My existence is literally verifiable proof of a crime. Three birth certificates and a DNA test scientifically proves that a 26 year old man was raping a 13 year old girl. Crown Prosecution Service wouldn’t prosecute because of a lack of corroboration. My mother’s family wouldn’t testify, the care-home that handed my mother to a pedophile unsurprisingly wouldn’t testify, so the rapist was let free. Well, until he got caught raping his best friend’s 12 year old daughter years later, that is.
The UK’s legal system is nothing to be proud of. We put our fingers in our ears and scream “lalalala” when presented with proof - at least in America the problem is that they have a law saying it’s too late to prosecute based on the irrefutable evidence
I could see limits on something like petty theft but yeah something like rape and murder should not ever have limits
There is no statute of limitations for murder, never has been. I don't understand why you think that the statute of limitations has something to do with DNA. Much of the time cases rest on more than DNA, in fact corroborating evidence is usually needed for the DA to even think of prosecuting.
The part about him hiding in the house after the crime and the girl telling her mum "shhh" is the most chilling and terrifying thing I have ever heard
One thing I love about how these cold-read channels have evolved is it feels like a conversation between 3 people. We can get such a sense of who the writer, simon, and Jen are.
Glad you enjoy!
That's exactly why I like them as well!
@@ThatWriterKevin great scripts as always
@@mckinleyostvig7135 Thanks!
Yes! It reminds me of a really good literature course.
Only Simon could make 100+ casual criminality episodes before he starts to consider locking the doors and setting the alarms at night. Prague must be a really nice city lmao
I love watching serial killer / cold case file types of shows. then I end up spooking myself stupid. a couple of examples
my kids had gone to my ex's house for the weekend, so I plopped myself in front of the computer and began watching an old case files episode. the story was about 2 hunters who vanished in Michigan, and rumor was the killers had fed them to the pigs. all well until I heard a knock on the door. I screamed like a little girl on helium and first thought in my head was, "OMG, the pigs came to NJ and are here to kill me". then I reminded myself pigs don't knock on doors, so I went to the front door. more knock knock and yep, I screamed again. Turned out it was a friend of my kids who had left a game at the house and came to get it back
another time, same scenario, me being home alone. half way thru watching a documentary on Richard Ramirez and the whole leaving doors unlocked I got up to make sure my front door was locked. then went back to watching the remaining of the episode. on the way there I noticed one of my kids had left his TV on so I went to turn it off. well, since I was home alone I saw no need to knock on his bedroom door, and walked in. I saw someone sitting in front of the tv, so I took 2 steps back, tried to shout but no sound came out of my mouth, and according to my kid I turned ghost white. he later asked me if I thought serial killers first stop and watch tv before doing anything else.
But, my dumbest one was when my kids were young. after they went to bed I decided to take a shower and then go to my room and put some PJs on. as I was doing that I noticed a pair of VERY white legs thru the corner of my eye. Queue in a REALLY loud scream. Then I realized this was my legs. what had happened was we had our camcorder connected to the tv so the kids could play and pretend they were talk show hosts. thing is, they forgot to turn the tv off. my next thought was, "I never realized I'm that damn white" lol
Prague can be dangerous depending on the district. But yeah, we have it easier in Czechia 😅
@@Jerseybytes2I had heard about the pig story as a michigander. When I went camping with a bunch of friends our parents scared us and told us that happened in the very woods we were camping in 😅 needless to say we were very scared of coming across any wild pigs up there
@@pregnanttomato9576 me locking doors never lasted long. In fact in some cases, not only did I not lock the door, I'd forget to close it altogether. Same thing with my car door. I never locked it. I figured, if anyone wants an old VW golf with manual gears but no reverse, they're welcome to take mine. One time I did remember to lock the door when I went to a store near where I lived. I was so happy I remembered it too. was walking to the store still patting myself in the back over it when a gentleman, who had seen the whole thing came up to me and said, "I noticed you locked your car door, but you forgot to roll up the window"
Re the house, I have 0 clue where my house keys are. probably a good thing I don't lock the door, I'd be outside waiting for a thief to break in
@@Lucie.Greeninggfdsf
I remember the day his arrest was announced - I was sitting in my room, listening to a true crime podcast early in the morning, and they open that episode announcing the news. As a follower of true crime cases and someone well-versed in a lot of these stories, to see one of the worst, most well-known unsolved cases solved was such an incredible thing to witness.
As a person who found someone looking in my window who was never caught, this hits different from most true crime stories I've heard. I can still hear the man's laugh when I caught him too. Hope he was never allowed to escalate beyond that. I will give my small town police credit, they escorted me to school and drove by my house for months afterwards.
Great video as always, very well researched!
Thank god your small town police were actually helpful. If they escorted you to school does that mean you were still a child or was that more highschool/college??
@@fee9224 thankfully our police took it very seriously. I wasn't the only report, but I was by far the youngest and had the most confrontational encounter. So they understood there was an escalating pattern. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure it went on for the better part of a year. (Congruent with others reports) Everyone kept telling me I was crazy, but finally I caught him, or should I say, I Heard him breathing, said I know someone is out there, then heard him laugh, saw him light a cigarette and walk away. It was pitch Black so I couldn't make out anything but a stocky male.
But to answer your question, I had just turned 15 when it happened, so I was a teenager. Though I still had about a mile walk to school with my younger friend, which had the cops concerned. They watched me discreetly for long enough to scare him away. (Pretty sure it was our neighbor though, so that wasn't the end of the stalking and torment, buuuuuut that's another long story!) 😅
That is terrifying hope that’s never happened again for you
@@treetop8697 Holy shit that is a total nightmare come true oh my god. My heart goes out to you
Something similar happened when I was 9. I knew who is was, knew he had a criminal record, and my parents filed a report including his identity. The police officer stopped down, looked me in the eyes and said “boys will be boys, why don’t you forget about it? You wouldn’t want to ruin his life”. That’s when I learned at a young age just how much life measured up to those of the opposite gender and lost total trust in authority. The man was never charged. I duct taped my curtains together for years and refused to wear the pjs he saw me change out of ever again. It’s been 12 years and I’m past afraid and straight to pissed as hell.
The stealing of personal items and just tossing them nearby makes it clear they got off on violating peoples feeling of safety and enjoyed making people distressed, it's actually a really disgusting form of criminal behavior.
It's not an uncommon motive for psychopaths - many appear to get a kind of joy from violating, intruding, dominating, terrorising or even merely lying / deceiving other people. The motive makes little sense to normal people.
Exactly! It reminded me of “it’s the one thing you can’t replace”, it’s a sign that they enjoy violating people; violating their bodies, their minds, their feeling of safety, it’s bloody psychopathic.
I like apple carts myself! The patbetic look on those vendors faces as you stroll away with the loot ? Priceless!
Its called the Stratford prison experiment
It is the feeling of power that he likes, not the actual items he steals.
Could you do a episode on Susan Walters. She killed a hit man her estranged husband had sent to kill her....she killed him with her bare hands.
That was an amazing case!
Omg yes!!
Damn. Hard core.
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
She was a nurse I think and the fight was crazy. It's described like a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Claude you are a legend! You died saving your daughter’s life! You are a hero! May you rest in peace knowing she is safe!
So sad, what a champion.
I really hope that he knew/knows that his sacrifice wasn't in *vain*
edited for spelling.
@@Stephanie-we5ep me too
F
The random sound at 30:22 scared the crap out of me lol I’m in my office wearing noise canceling headphones and this sound starts blaring I thought I was gonna be a future story on this channel 😭
Me too
Yeah, what in the world was that?!
What the heck is that?? It goes for so long and Simon’s muted for the whole like minute that the noise goes on?? Ooof
@@monicacupp6961 Seems like a censoring method. TH-cam may have started to crack down.
They should have at least lowered the volume of that part, maybe added in a verbal explanation and. Shortened it
I live in Illinois, where you can’t record a conversation without both parties agree to being recorded. You might think it’s because of privacy concerns, but actually it’s because our lawmakers don’t like having their corruption exposed, so they can get all that pesky recorded evidence of their dirty dealings thrown out by saying they never consented to being recorded.
I wouldn't want to be recorded anyway even if I wasn't doing anything wrong as multiple people were convicted on audio evidence that you couldn't even hear what was said so it was lied about or they altered it to make it sound like it's what they are saying
@@dylanjwicklund92 In that case, being recorded is not what you should be worried about. If someone's willing to tamper with or lie about audio evidence, why wouldn't they also be willing to just fabricate it completely?
By that logic any evidence could be a lie used to railroad you. At least audio records have artifacts that show when they've been altered and can be reviewed infinitely.
SO TRUE!!!
30:22. I thought I was being abducted by aliens or something. My last thought…”Simon was wrong all along! The aliens DO care about us ants!”
I've paused at that part to come to comments to see what everyone else was saying about it. I was NOT expecting that damn sound in my cranked up head phones.
Startled me as well.
WTAF. That was rude and censorship absolutely. 👎👎👎
I thought it was an intentional jump scare like the woman in the story.
Business daddy wasn't happy about something
The stalking/lurking thing early in the story reminds me of something that happened shortly after I was born. My mum was just a teen and shared a room with her older sister. They started noticing shoe prints outside the window and thinking they saw someone at the window and went to their dad freaked out.
Pop called the cops, but they couldn't really do much. So, Pop and his best friend set up a tent in the back garden and obscured it in the bushes, and lay down some gravel in front of the window. They staked out over a night or two until they heard crunching on the gravel and burst out of the tent. It was a teenage boy, and he BOLTED... But my Pop was (and still is even at the age of almost 75) an athlete and gymnast. So, he sprinted after the kid and tackled him while his friend called the cops.
Turns out it was one of my aunt's classmates who lived a couple of roads away. Thankfully he was just a little twit and was too embarrassed try anything else. But it's great knowing I spent a good deal of my life living with someone who was so onto it with that sort of stuff.
Go Pop!!! All children should have some like that to protect them. Although it is horribly and heart breaking that they need it!!
Scary !
It is actually good for kids to see their parents get angry/frustrated. It gives them the opportunity to see their parents as human rather than perfect. It also gives you the chance to model appropriate ways to deal with ur anger. The kids see you do it they are more likely to do it themselves. If you hide all negative emotions from ur kids it is harder for them to learn to regulate their own emotions.
i cared abt the way my parents felt, so understanding that my actions had stakes in terms of my parent's feelings? maybe i would've been sensitive either way, but ive seen Supernanny and there are a lot of parents who BEG their kids to not be awful.
Very true
Yup. Unfortunately I never saw healthy behavior around anger despite seeing lots of anger. And my anger was always punished by my parents *especially* when my siblings would attempt to teach me any healthy way to deal with it!
While this is generally true, there's a fine line between anger and frustration. I don't think small children should see pure anger even if the parent reels it in after awhile. That kinda shit can fuck a kid up because they don't understand the weird emotional rollercoasters. I should know. My mother was emotionally fucked. She'd have angry outbursts one minute, then calm down the next. It made living with her chaotic and scary. You never knew what type of mood she'd be in on any given day. My sister and I learned to be completely silent and motionless whenever she'd come home so that we could hear how she closed the front door, how she put her keys down, and how loudly or quickly she'd walk.
It didn't matter if she apologized later for her behavior. We were scared of her. She was unpredictable. That created trauma in both of us. Every therapist I've told that to had said that what we experienced was abuse. Had it been reported, CPS would've probably taken us away.
"I have never been burgled." *proceeds to tell us about how he and his family were constantly burgled*
Lmao
Timestamp?
@@baydiac 5:43
He said him as an adult has never been burgled. Your family being burgled when your young is not the same as being burgled when you move out on your own. That's what he was comparing.
@@y345vash9 oh wow thank you for clarifying
I love that Simon's husbandhood and fatherhood are central to what he does with his home. That's a good man. And, probably, a cozy family. It's a good antidote to these stories to think about Simon and his wife setting an alarm and locking all the doors and windows to keep the little Whistlers safe.
It’s adorable when he brings up his wife and kids.
Good, honest and responsible men still exist.
People mock me for locking windows and doors, even while I'm home, unless it's nice weather, then windows are usually open. Through I find it silly to leave at minimum the front door unlocked. In my city, majority of home invasions are in homes with unlocked front doors.
@@TingTingalingy yeah,you can never be too careful. Being armed helps
@@michaelblaine6494 I am, to the teeth.
It's really surprising to hear he was able to quit his crimes for so long. I understand fear of capture is a deterrent, but that normally doesn't stop other serial killers. The compulsion is just too strong.
I mean, given that he was a police officer, he had access to arrested persons for violence and colleagues who were likely unwilling to speak up about it. He may have assaulted or perhaps even killed suspects who will never see justice.
@@fenrirsdaughter9880But he wasn't a police officer anymore since 1979, he was a car mechanic.
He aged, he wasn’t physically strong enough and he was raising a family 🤢
Viagra didn’t help him and his testosterone levels dropped. He lost interest
There's a video/sound issue starting at 30:21. Simon's audio cuts out and the sounds from Inception begins. It stops at 31:00
Ditto. Weird as hell. What's up with that?
Yeah, that seems to have been because whatever the guy did was worse than all the murder, torture and everything else talked about on this channel.
The visuals make is super scary lol
It’s one the annoying new things Simon has been doing, same thing happened on the last video I think
@@jdw221221 He usually just doesn't read those parts, though. I think we were meant to hear that part.
Just to let you know, as someone who has a sealed juvenile record, it doesn't mean the record is gone. I was told that if I ever got in trouble again or needed to get a job with the government, that they could ask very specific questions about what my record was and get answers, but they'd never be able to see the whole thing, so technically, I think that it should have come up when he tried to get a job in law enforcement..... but then again, we're talking about a different time period, I suppose.
I'm one of those people who is (probably) 100% on board with removing the statute of limitations for sexual assault of a minor.
Yes. If someone is applying for a position in law enforcement, health care, firefighting, or the military, or if they become a repeat offender as an adult, those juvenile criminal records should be unsealed.
The American military farms troubled kids, so it’ll never happen there.
Those who commit grievous crimes have lost the privilege of carrying a badge
I agree. Also, i don't see why they are sealed automatically at 18 anyway. Just because we as a society decide you're now an adult doesn't erase what you've done. Only actions and time should do that. No, a person shouldn't have any little mistake follow them around for life for the purposes of a non security level job. But committing a serious crime at 15 or 16 shouldn't disappear at 18. Maybe be able to have any single occurrence non violent crime expunged after 5 years . But if it's violent, it stays forever. And if it's a repeat, then maybe 10 years without any offense may apply.
@@brianmasters9600 they generally aren't sealed automatically (in the US, at least). they have to apply for it themselves, and the request can be denied depending on severity of the offense etc.
@@chloebutler8438Oh, ok. I knew you had to apply for it as an adult. I though juvenile records were sealed automatically. Thankfully I have no personal experience with it though.
The weirdest fact from the entire video was the idea that fly screens aren't a thing anywhere except in the US. Fly screens are also pretty universal in Australia. They're so ubiquitous here, it never occurred to me that they wouldn't be a common thing everywhere else.
Europe just doesn't use them which is weird, since they don't use air conditioning either. Gotta have bugs everywhere in their houses!
Hey Kevin, while you are in the comment section, any idea what happened with the 40 seconds where the audio is blown out by a horn? I get it involved r@pe, and YT probably didn't like it, but couldn't that bit get edited out or something? There's also no pinned clip or anything in the description. Other then that, great job, another great script.
@@route2070 Thanks! As for the audio, no idea. I checked the script and I didn't write for them to do that lol. But more seriously, the part that's inaudible isn't any worse than the rest of the episode, so it definitely wasn't intentional. It was either some sort of a mixing error, corruption while uploading, or some weird censoring thing by TH-cam because, idk, reasons?
@@ThatWriterKevin
Mosty due to poverty.
Air conditioners are getting more popular. Fly doors, or rather just hanging plastic nets have seen an increase with dog owners, but otherwise people just don't leave the door open at all, and keep it locked.
Windows are also not opened during the day often while its warm enough for bugs to keep the heat out. Or at all, if you got AC.
On the glorious soviet side, 100 dollars is a third of your monthly wages.
Every window of every home in Canada has those screens too, on doors as well. Bugs are bad here.
He worked as a security guard in Sacramento. I met him back around '82. The long defunct company was Regional Corporate Security Services. I replaced him at the Holiday Inn South on 47th Ave, so I worked a graveyard shift with him to learn the ropes. That will haunt me forever!
That’s terrifying. And one hell of an ice breaker.
You should look at "The Boy in the Box" mystery. They just found out what the boys name really was, and it's possible that sharing his story might bring awareness to the people who might be able to give answers as to why he died.
Who killed him! Probably the parents back then.
My god please do the the boy in box.........
@@maryrowe3981 Sadly, I suspect so, or someone he was in care of. I mainly suggested this one because my hope is that if people like Simon bring this to a wider audience, someone might come forward with answers.
I agree, but it would be better for his 'Decoding The Unknown' channel rather than this one. Although it was obviously a crime of some sort, there's not enough 'there' for a long format like what this channel does, also I believe this one does only solved crimes.
@@audreymuzingo933 There are a few unsolved crimes on this channel, like the Hinterkaifek murders. I'm pretty sure Decoding the Unknown is more for stuff like the whole Skinwalker ranch thing and the Bell Witch and stuff like that? Although he did put the video on the disappearance of Bobby Dunbar on that channel as well. IDK, the overlap between the two channels is weird sometimes
Jen, VR and “you probably have insurance for it right?” Was one of my favourites so far 😂
I laughed so much!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It really was well fuckin done 🤣
I live in the county where he was an officer. My mother grew up in Exeter, I grew up about 10 miles away. I didn't really hear about him until 2013 and due to Michelle's research, I pretty quickly realized they were all the same people. No one ever talks about the Visalia Ransacker here. They're holding him in the same Prison that they held Charles Manson.
Omg the random cut off at 30:22 scared the shit out of me
I wish they would post the missing part in the comments or something, so I can watch the rest
I have to disagree with what Simon said about it being messed up to record someone without their knowledge. If that were illegal, Harvey Weinstein would still be abusing women. There are also cases of kids recording their abuse and using the recording to help them get out of an abusive situation.
Obviously, there are situations in which it would be messed up to record someone without their knowledge. But there are also situations where it's absolutely the right thing to do.
I followed this case for years before he was caught. I found the crimes endlessly fascinating. I was amazed how such a prolific criminal could get away with it after soooo many serious crimes. He’s much more interesting than the Zodiac yet barely anyone had heard of him. There’s no other case like it. I was blown away when he was caught after so much time.
Simon bragging about having VR and then Jen putting that clip in was absolute comedy gold. Jen was on fire this video 😆
The reason, in case anyone is wondering, why criminals can get multiple life sentences is because if they appeal one and win.....there will be another right behind it. This way they can't ever say "actually the evidence was weak on this ONE charge" and then walk free. They would have to win an appeal for EVERY SINGLE sentence before they could get out.
It makes sense but here we have multiple parole hearings, they have to win each one before even getting an appeal then that appeal is heard again through court. Then if you win the appeal you are put on probation with an ankle device which tracks your every move. This can be kept on for 3 months to 5 years. You are also restricted from leaving the country, even if it's just nipping over to wales or scotland.
We also have a sentencing syste, where you have life without parole. No chance of an appeal or parole hearing. Life means life.
So equally, to my mind, US have a weird setup here. And just leans in how two teired their justice system is.
ps we literally have one violent criminal locked up in a glass box under a maxium secure prison which was custom made for him as he was a danger to himself and to other prisoners in gen pop.
@@METALFREAK03 Can't find anything for that last one you mentioned, know who it is?
When I entered my DNA on Ancestry, it asked me if I would allow the police to use it if needed. I also belong to other sites and have no problem with it. So....be warned, if you're remotely related to me, you might get caught and I have no problem with it. Great show.

@@jessedale4287 So, if it was you, the Golden State Killer would've never been caught. Congratulations on being such a horrible human being. Maybe you should pay him a visit and give him some confort in his cell. Come on now.
Thank you Simon, this was a great podcast. You surely did your research. I was the victim of a peeping Tom many years ago in Miami Beach Florida. But he lived in the same building as I did. I called the police. 2 detectives came to my house and they had a plan. I was to sit on my balcony and read a book while they were hidden, watching. The pervert did his 'thing'. Next thing my phone rang. It was the detective calling me to say that they were about to arrest him! He had a wife and a new baby. His wife was away with her parents. He went to jail.
In regards to window screens. My father actually has a company where they make security screens. They're connected to your security system, so if it's cut or removed from the window, the alarm is set off.
To that effect, as a teenager I could never sneak out through my bedroom window 😑
You could you just werent motivated, you can defeat those contact sensors easily by many means.
I need to find this
@Ace Massey partially. The Ones my dad makes have a contact sensor (easy if you have a strong enough magnet and know where it is) and have a backup wiring. So if those wires are pulled away and disconnected it'll set off the alarm.
Trust me it was a long learning process. I soon realized it was easier for me to be quiet and sneak out the back door than try and F with his security screens
You didn't try hard enough. Lol
F's in the chat all the teenage makeout sessions that could have been
1:31:11 beyond just the "Feels like an invasion of privacy", just because the government says they're only going to use invasions of privacy for good things doesn't mean they're actually only going to use it for good things.

What can they do with your dna that's so horrible?
@@kingofhearts3185 Figure out every one of your defects and weaknesses? Use it in some future eugenics program where they decide you aren't fit for reproduction? What a stupid question dude. Pull your head out of your ass. Your DNA is your fucking genetic code and can tell them just about anything about you.
@@kingofhearts3185frame people for crimes? Idk
@@Blueberryyymuffin That DNA would be collected at a specific time. If it's as an infant or similarly young age it would be heavily degraded by the time you're old enough to get framed for anything. Even if collected later it would degrade quickly unless well preserved, which would be a difficult expense to justify. The idea that the physical sample (what you need to frame someone) would be kept on hand just in case is absurd.
The police can already legally search garbage since it's not considered yours, or get your sample in a shadier way. It would be easier to just do that if they wanted to frame someone.
@@kingofhearts3185 i was thinking more on the lines of changing records to make the dna they have on record for you seem like it was the dna they found or something
My wife came out and said one day "I don't want to temptate fate". Took me a whole day to tell her temptate is not a word and she means tempt fate.

Hi, Simon! Been listening/watching your videos on "The Casual Criminalist" since December 2022, commenting for the first time.
I used to work at a juvenile courthouse (in the clerk's office) for almost a decade, and one of my duties was to perform background checks for those potentially joining the military, other jobs (not just limited law enforcement), internships, and certain scholarships. While I cannot confirm for other courts (because every county and state is different here in the U.S.), in our court, if you had a sealed record, the now-adult-then-juvenile-offender had to petition the court to unseal those records. We could not tell agencies if they had a sealed record. We could just say there was no history. Now, what happened a lot were kids would get traffic tickets and charged with speeding, driving without a license, marijuana charges, and they would be honest to the recruiter and tell them they had charges. Which, on the one hand, good for them, they're being honest and hey, usually, those kids (God, it feels weird calling a 19-year-old a kid) usually did not have extensive records, so they hopefully learned their lesson. It would just sadly cause a lot of paperwork.
I did have one case where it was a D.A.'s office requesting that information because of a murder charge...but that's another story I can't give any more detail to sadly.
My brother is currently a cop, in one of those yee-haw states as you've called it, and yeah, he had to pass a psychological evaluation before entering the police academy. Though, his evaluation (a lot like mine for my courthouse gig), from what he could tell me, was more about sexual deviance (non-consensual sexual violence and bestiality) and mental health concerns. I'm not sure if he had to complete one as well for the military before he was deployed or not.
Though, given your comments on the shock about the 3-year statute of limitations... -coughs- No one tell Simon how a lot of police departments do NOT give ample warning that they're destroying evidence of your unsolved rape cases... Now, over here, the statute of limitations for rape, provided the victim is not under the age of 16 and it was committed before July 1, 2012, is 15 years. If the victim is under 16 and it was committed on July 1, 2012 or after, AND if it is not being prosecuted in the courts as a misdemeanor, there is no statute of limitations. Welcome to the States and the horrible headache that is "understanding" possible criminal punishments for sex crimes.
Snark aside, I love the work you and your team do, and I enjoy your videos...except for the "disrespect" you gave my poor man Carl Kolshak, the true and only Night Stalker! (Because fuck Ramirez)
Simon, hearing about your “temper”, and you opening up to it, is really good! Lots of people with tempers can’t admit it when they do, and as such, never get help. Personally recommend mental health specialists, group therapy, or if those things are uncomfortable, there’s tons of tips online! Good for you for trying to do better for your kids!
My dad had a short temper and when he blew his top, his yelling could be heard for miles (or so it seemed). He was NEVER violent and was a really good dad, but I do not deal well with people raising their voices to this day. It definitely had an impact throughout my life.
@@johnchedsey1306 Dude, I completely feel. My sibling would instigate these screaming matches with my dad, so I don’t handle raised voices well, either! I don’t blame you at all for hating that.
The privacy concerns regarding DNA go much further than just the police as well. Imagine an insurance company refusing a claim or dropping coverage of a person because they are genetically more likely to be obese, get cancer, or succumb to addiction. Or worse yet, made the same determination not based off of your DNA. But off of the DNA of your parents, or your child. Now imagine being denied employment, refuse security clearance, or even kept on some kind of registry because you happen to have genetic markers that are found in murderers, rapists, or pedophiles. Despite never having even thought about committing a crime.
1) Laws can easily stop the insurance industry and honestly, seeing how many people have those issues, the industry itself probably wouldn;t do it because they'd lose a fortune. As for the 2nd point, yeah, I can see that surviving court cases. You'd literally have millions of people with those markers. Hell, most cops, politicians, business CEO's would have those markers. It won't happen.
Police arresting murders and rapists, insurance companies using genetics (which might as well be called eugenics) to discriminate... clearly the same level of need there.
Either police catch more serial murderers and rapists (the only ones who really should be searched this way), or big brother has to cock things up every now and then arresting people, deign to look at your polls and/or just your fucking surname to find out your related to someone else... and serial killers and rapists get more time to do more harm to more people before getting caught.
What a choice, with equal fucking sides... The only change is that horrific people get off the streets more and faster. Don't really get the domino fallacy here, just because you give express permission to police for serious crimes to use a data base, doesn't mean every dick tom and harry would be able to do the same thing.
Paranoid... you worry alot a shame, sad life to live
@@lifeofavet7057 you misunderstand me. I don't worry about things like that. I'm not narcissistic enough to believe the government or any other mass entity would care about me. I do enjoy thought experiments though. Considering possible outcomes to situations and exploitable areas of seemingly innocuous technology keeps my mind sharp. That may also be a sad life.. but in a different way. Lol.
@Brian Masters companies will do what ever they can for profit we know that but reasurch and finding criminals is hard balance
God Jen must've had fun editing this episode. I had some good chuckles but nearly lost it at Simon's voice-altered cops. That, and the "Oh-kay!!!" kid will never get old
FYI Simon, regarding Kevin's Night Stalker reference. From 1974-1975 there was an American TV drama called Kolchack:The Night Stalker. The show was about an news reporter investigating paranormal activity. The plot lines of this show included werewolves, zombies, vampires and other creatures of the night. The show started Darren McGavin as the titular character.
And it was *awesome* until the networked killed it.
@@brigidtheirish wasn’t it canceled?
@@ardenalexa94 Yeah. After the network did everything in its power to kill the show's ratings.
Yeah. It was proto X-Files starring the father from A Christmas Story. Unfortunately, I feel like it’s a reference not even most Americans would get. I think there were only 19 episodes and 1 or 2 are never aired today on rerun channels. Another reference most Americans wouldn’t get is a show called Misfits of Science. No connection. It was just a good show more people should know about.
Loved that show!
A video on the Texas Killing fields would be amazing, an analysis of the real cases and what causes so many people to show up dead on those fields would be neat
I’m from Houston, and the killing fields are way more interesting than any documentary has ever shown, I’d love for Simon to talk about them and hope he goes over the entirety of the killing fields and not just some of the murders
No! I live on the opposite side of the Freeway from the killing field and I'm tired of all the people causing traffic accidents trying to find it.
@@badluck5647 hey, I’d rather deal with tourists and traffic rather than a body dumping site near my house
@@gushingranny475 it is a pretty unassuming field whose history use to only be known about by the locals. Also, every old highway between Houston and Galveston is home to several body dumping sites.
The "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" argument is the age-old cry of oppressive regimes throughout history, Simon. The reason GED's collaboration with law enforcement is dangerous and 'feels wrong' is not because of its potential use, but because of its potential *misuse*
Simon himself has made the "I have nothing to hide" argument in one of these 😬
@@MCDreng I don’t think he means anything by it to warrant that emoji. On paper it doesn’t seem like it can be used to hunt BIPOC and queer people, if anything, again just looking at it, it can be used to exonerate BIPOC of crimes and bring true closure to families. I’m pretty sure Simon doesn’t know it’s a white supremacy idea. It may come as a shock but not everyone has their finger on the pulse of every single trigger phrase for being pro-oppression.
I think everyone's DNA should be on record from the day you are born.
@@anarchyantz1564 It would have helped a lot of victims at the very least. So long as you'd need a warrant and the state isn't allowed to use it for analysis, I don't see a problem.
I see the biggest danger in the possibility that a corrupt state or official could use that data for the most horrible sort of stuff.
Yea the fact they missuesed it to catch him as they uploaded the DNA to the site claiming its theirs or a dead relatives which is a violation of the sites terms but this was never brought up
This episode is so interesting to me. My father's co worker was just arrested for a 30+ year old double murder because of someone in his family doing a DNA service
link to any news about it?
Good!! There was a Forensic Files I saw recently about an old man who was convicted for a 30+ unsolved rape and murder. His interrogation video was so satisfying. "Oh no officers, never saw that girl in my life." (Gets confronted with his DNA being found on the girl's body) "Oh, uh, ok yeah we had sex. But I didn't kill her I swear!" 🙄
Tony Haase?
and ur just not gonna give the story ??? ok.
Did you cover the Highway of Tears ? If not it's a case that will drive Simon crazy.
I second this
What I really love about Simon's writer is the extensive research and explanation of the criminal's childhood or background so that we can kind of imagine what lead them to commit the crimes that they do. I feel like it's very insightful. I love the psychology, especially more than the gory details.
My PTSD is making stupid hard to get through this one. But Simon you have done well with your voice and tangents to be able to listen to this. Kevin you wrote this well, as hard as it was but you compassion and facts made it easier to listen to. Both of you are amazing!!!!!
Girl, me too & I couldn't agree more! Hearing the facts of cases like these can be very triggering, but the empathy the team shows helps me feel reassured & validated 🤗🙏🏻
What happened to you?
@@Blake_.Dryden for me the humor helps. But please keep in mind I have a very dark sense of humor. To me life and death are both jokes. :D
*free hugs* 🫂🫂🫂🫂 you're doing good.
@Hff Fju asking about what happened to a victim is nosy and rude. If they wanted to say it, they would have.
with the amount of channels he has, and sheer amount of videos he makes, Simon is very close to becoming the Nicholas Cage of TH-cam.
I'm definitely onboard for it 😁
But with far higher quality of material and always on point with his performance, I like Cage, but 🤣
I think he's reached Nolan North of podcasts.
Will Simon also have an issue with the bees?
@@desireeochoa1354 Simon will be controling the bees 😁
@@annemettefrederiksen7751 just not in the eyes
If you visit Sacramento today, you would never know this about the place. Prior to the EAR spree, Sacramento was a pretty quiet community. Kids played outside, almost till bedtime. People slept with their windows open to enjoy the Delta breeze. Cars and front doors were regularly left unlocked. In many ways, it was one of the largest "small towns" around. EAR changed all that. He terrified the entire metro area. Home security locks were sold out everywhere. Gun stores couldn't keep guns in stock. The animal shelters were adopting every big dog around. Parents suddenly wanted to know where their kids were at all times. A community that trusted their police service to protect them suddenly watched their police services powerless against this guy.
When he finally went quiet after his spree, the community never recovered from the trauma inflicted on it. The innocence was gone, and Sacramento was never the same. The real force behind the GSK's capture was Anne Marie Schubert. She's the Sacramento District Attorney who spearheaded the task force to capture him. She grew up in Sacramento when he doing his attacks. She remembers pre & post EAR. She made it a part of her administration as DA to either catch or identify the EAR. While many elected officials may have ignored it since it was so many years prior, she had her office commit resources to it. Kudos to Anne Marie Schubert.
Jen, just in case you're trolling the comments and see this, you've outdone yourself in this vid. I've watched quite a few of these and your contributions are honestly one of my favorite parts. You're killing it sis! (No pun intended)
100% agree. Calling Simon out for not insuring his Occulus was fantastic!
What about the missing part? Can she tell us the overdubbed part in the comments?
I feel like every time Simon talks about someone robbing houses, he doesn't consider what a huge emotional damage it can do to the victim. People need their sense of security and if you can't feel safe and secure in your own home, where the hell can you? It's the place where you you do things that make you vulnerable, such as sleep and shower. It's where your kids sleep, and for many people deeply meaningful personal items can feel almost extensions of themselves. Then suddenly some dickhead takes away that sense of security, touches all your private stuff, makes a mess and steals something sentimental just for their own twisted power trip. It's not "just stealing and being a bit of a jerk", it's traumatizing.
But it is just stealing and being a little bit of a jerk relatively in comparison to his actions lol making his wording completely fair. Most times Simon talks about someone robbing houses he knows enough about the subject matter to know it's far from the worst thing they have done.
All those horror movies we watched as kids doesn't help either. I'm always standing in the shower washing my hair wondering if I'm going to see a shadow on the other side of the shower curtain with a knife.
Of course that's silly... but then is it?
People have gone through medicine cabinets and entered houses on the other side so locking the doors isn't always going to help you.
The difference is I'm a grown man and I can pretty much take care of myself. I don't have a family to worry about or a wife to worry about and that makes a world of difference.
@@Ashley-wi4ng exactly. He dodges the obvious horror parts and goes straight to how stupid it is to do it in the first place.
There are lots of lucky, sheltered fools who cannot conceive of how something would effect them, if they have not actually experienced it. Lucky for them, I suppose. Accurate empathy requires similar experience; but we all mostly think our imagination is up to the task.
All in all I've had more of my stuff taken by family members than random thieves. We were robbed once, probably by a teenager. They took baseball cards, some Nintendo games, and a VCR. Let's see.. a retarded 19 year old came in and took a pair of shoes once. We didn't care. We just told the mother. No police. Some young kids about 5 years old would come in to raid the fridge. We also didn't care. Some parents aren't feeding their children enough.
22:32 May Claude rest in peace, the absolute fucking legend. He saved his daughter’s life, and even when faced with a gun, he was still ready to fight for his daughter.
26:21 At least the police seemed to be taking the case seriously, and are doing their best. I hope it keeps up, don’t get my hopes up, random police officers.
The way this case wrapped up is both infuriating (because he got away with it for so many years and lived a totally normal life in later years) and satisfying (because of how he was finally caught) and I'm so ready to jump into this video let's GO
I really cannot thank Simon and Crew for all their work here on CasCrim, and all of the other amazing informative (and entertaining!) channels. I have Clinical Depression, and I recently stopped drinking. CasCrim and the other Factboi channels truly make my day. Thank you all, keep up the amazing work. 💙
Thanks!

Bravo! You outdid yourselves with this episode, Kevin-writing, Simon-reading/commentary and Jenn epic editing! References to avatar a and Minority Report were spot on. We have some thinking to do.
Even though this was a brutal script with a litany of crimes. Making fun of the 'bad guy ' made it less brutal. Good job Kevin, plus Simon seemed less stressed as well.👏
The most amazing thing for me is that I know all these stories, I've seen them countless times on other channels. But on Simon's channel - I always (!) learn something new. Always!

This is why I have dogs. No one is crawling into my bed without saying hello to my 75 lbs staffy
Apparently the golden state killer would carry dog mace or spray it on himself. Multiple reports of victims who had dogs who did nothing.
Jen doesn’t get enough credit. Just before 7:51 when Simon is taking about his VR system and she puts the clip asking about insurance I laughed out loud 😂😂😂
17:55 is what got ME 😂
Those graphics and audio were so on point that I had a good sense of what happened even though I couldnt hear Simon narrating it!
Knowing that this channel strives for excellence, I have to say that such unintentional blips like the audio cutting out is somehow very refreshing. A reminder that you and your team are human and therefore that much more relatable.
police do have a psychological test. It weeds out people with empathy. My brother wanted to be a cop. He was declined because he was too nice.
Are you serious?! Wtf?!
From 30:00 to 31:00 Simon's voice cuts out and it's just the background music much louder and then his audio comes back
Yea I just caught that too
thank goodness you heard it as well. I was slightly concerned I was either going insane or abducted by aliens tonight 😳
well...maybe we all are going to but at least now I know I won't be alone on the probing table 😁
@@janalucke9739 😆 see you there

Huge respect for Claude i really hope he was conscious long enough to see that his daughter was safe before he passed
As a Canadian with "that" type of caller ID, that's exactly how it works, but only for companies or people who specifically set that feature up. If a company calls, it will come up as the company name and phone number, if a person calls who doesn't have their number registered, it comes up as "unknown" with the phone number. Growing up (I'm now 30) we had the same feature on our landline phone, but if someone called from another residence, the caller ID would say the surname and phone number. Super handy!
An excellent deep dive into the history of the crimes and victims instead of focusing on the perpetrator. Excellent production.
Fly screens are very common in Australia too. Mozzies and flies (especially those tiny little things) are not wanted inside! Not too mention the spiders but the fly screens don't do much to keep those horrors out!
being able to secretly record conversations is massively beneficial when dealing with manipulators and bad faith employers and other issues that might wind up in court. It's not such a bad thing for it to be legal.
Growing up I used to visit my grandparents in the west of Sweden who lived basically in the middle of the forest, and they had these screens on wooden frames that you could slot into the window when you wanted to have the window open but not have all the bugs come inside. Now as an adult I wish I had my own but I'm too broke and lazy to make them.
I had to laugh at the irony that he was spotted by an off duty FBI agent, riding a bike stolen from a parole officer, escaping from his latest murder. It’s very poetic, like something out of a farce.
I really appreciate the jokes Kevin threw in the most tense and awful moments. Little lights in the darkness, you know?
Thank you Simon, Kevin, and esp Jen you really outdone yourself this time with the editing.
Glad you enjoyed! I like how much Simon enjoyed my "paid by the word" joke
@@ThatWriterKevin I hope you don’t mind me asking but how do you find jobs writing for channels and etc? I’d like to do freelance writing, it’s just harder for me to figure out how to get into it since no one else around does that.
And yes partyon the objective, I agree.
Anyone else have a heart attack around 30:49?
I did
I think it was a very unfortunate glitch
Yeeeaaaah. Definitely did. Now I’m just uncomfortable-startled giggling uncontrollably in a story abut freaking rapes and home invasions.
Even though it’s not my fault I still feel like an absolute ans
Yes
I just reached 30 minutes. I’m bracing myself for the jumpscare 😢
I’m going back and watching the episodes I listened to on the podcast. Thank you for mentioning how AMAZING Claud was!! Best father ever! Mad respect!
I'm surprised the episode didn't point out and name the amazing work done by Paul Holes, Barbara Rae-Venter, and other key police who's dogged work and years of dedication and nor giving up not only linked the crimes, but to finally brought D'Angelo to justice.
I mean, Kevin didn't even mention the cities in Orange County as if it's just one big town. There's parts of OC like Dana Point and San Clemente that are almost 50 miles away from areas like Anaheim and Fullerton. It just feels odd after he mentioned Goleta, which is literally a small sleepy suburb of Santa Barbara in a densely wooded area... that said, not all the writers for this series are as good as Callum or David. Angus' coverage on that recent Russian killer video of the police force's efforts was lacking in a similar regard as this one...
1:31:18 here’s the thing; people are giving their DNA to those companies voluntarily, so it’s not the same as intrusive surveillance if the police were to be able to have free access to the records. If you’re signing a consent form that says the police have access, and can choose if you’re going to be doing it or not, then they should have access to it 🤷🏻♀️
One of the reasons that I do not trust these companies. There is a lot of information in our dna, while I personally have no issue with sharing it to the police for such an investigation I find it a slippery slope.
I must say that Jen has been doing a smashingly great job. Bravo.
30:00 just a reminder that the audio cuts out here, not due to you being insane but that TH-cam will not allow Simon to tell this part of the story.
Wtf could be worse than ed kemper fucking his decapitated mother neckhole?
Which simon did mention
Makes me wonder what was said
@@joeyjohnson942 some of the s*** is really dark to be honest I think it usually just has to do with the type of content like how graphic it is described or something
To my knowledge TH-cam's editor only allows you to mute out audio in parts of the video. This just seems like an editing mistake.
@@Cenentury0941 it's more likely that they had been demonetized for talking about a particular subject so they had to take the video down and mute it out in editing then re-upload it with that part edited sometimes that happens I think
"I don't even have insurance"
Trust me...get the insurance!
My wife and I didn't think we needed it....then we had a house fire....you have no idea how EXPENSIVE it is to replace ALL your belongings at once!
Agreed. Honestly, I don't know if you can buy a house in the US without having the bare minimum of insurance coverage on it.
the Forest Gump cutaway at 1hr 33m is perhaps one of the funniest cutaways I've seen in a loooooooong time. LOVED IT
That bit at 30:22 was really strange?? I'm not sure what happened, I thought my television had started playing another video lol
If anyone's come down to the comments for jumpscares for some reason, be aware there's a hella loud noise there.
Probably Simon had to overlay the audio because youtube flagged it for violence or something. And the only way to do that without reuploading (which would hurt the algorithm and cause it to perform worse) is with youtube's very simple built in editor.
@@pixelapocrypha I thought you could mute with that tho? That's what I usually see happen in those cases.
Simon the problem with giving Ancestry site DNA to law enforcement is what happens when they don't use it to find criminals but start abusing it to track political dissidents, protesters and other innocent people.
Why would known people's DNA matter?
Political dissidents, protesters and other innocent people don't leave semen or blood at the scene of rapes and murders.
@@emmagatewood3898 This technology can be used with spit, dirty tissues, etc left behind at a protest and the likes.
Yeah, with how the abortion laws are going backwards in the US, we can expect to see women who had abortions tracked down after cops use a warrant to get the fetus to extract DNA from it.
@@emmagatewood3898 you do know touch DNA is a thing, right? Literally all they need are skin cells. Scary/ Awesome thing? Touch DNA can be sequenced after several transfers. So, your DNA can now be found somewhere that you've never been, identified with your 4th cousin's DNA that was uploaded to GEDMatch. There's almost NOTHING you can do to prevent that.
But.... sequencing touch DNA with such a small sample is relatively new and highly specialized. Also, it's only done at a few well-known labs (like Othram in Texas). Plus, it takes a lot of time to trace shared relatives and eliminate potential matches....so, this is extremely unlikely.
For now.
Yes, the US is huge. It blows my English friend, Neil's, mind that there are 4 time zones in the Contiguous United States. And that doesn't include Alaska or Hawaii.
The TV show you showed was titled, "Kolchak: The Night Stalker". I don't recall if it had anything to do with these fellows.
Love your show. 😸 =^..^=
I visited Denmark a few years ago and some friends I met there were complaining that it would take them four hours to drive back home to Germany from Copenhagen. It would take me more than four hours to drive to the other end of the state and there are 32 states bigger than the one I live in. Kinda puts things in perspective.
The TV show was about a reporter facing and defeating supernatural monsters, so definitely not related to the criminals.
Hey Simon and Company, if you have to edit out bits in for TH-cam, like at 30:00 - 31:00 , could you maybe do it in a less disruptive or sudden way in future? Quieter audio cover maybe? A warning before the audio starts? Maybe include a text explanation?
Oh thank God, I thought I was going fucking crazy!
The lack of an edited in explanation was probably to avoid reuploading, since reuploads really hurt video performance. And the lack of finesse I'd bet was because of using youtube's built in editor to replace the sound.
The Stargate fact about O'Neal's son was referenced as far back as the film, it's the reason he volunteered to go with a nuke, it's also why he gets angry at his men when the boys from the village rescue them with their guns ordering them to take the guns off them. He even says it to Jackson while he's arming the bomb
This was the source of nightmares for young women. We were told not to trust the cops. Go to a well lit populated area, gas station parking lot or even a police station, don't pull over for a cop on the side of the road. To be young, living alone and afraid of cops, good times. 👀

Not just you. I had it too. Maybe jen was censoring something he said for a good reason? I can't think of any other reason. Mistakes like that don't ususally go out, but maybe it did this time? I'm thinking of how on brain blaze Sam will fast forward, put the WRONG! meme in there, ect., but that wouldn't fit here. So a fake blunder may have been better than something that may have been an accidental distasteful moment? Or there could have been a mistake with the video/audio on his end and did not want to rerecord a super long video.
@@darkermatter125.35 I think it was just a mixing error. I checked the script and nothing there was worse than anything he actually said
I've been binging this channel for two weeks now, and my main thought is that Simon goes against that stereotype of people who are interested in true crime having criminal minds themselves. The fact that Simon has so much empathy for the victims and is horrified by their fates. I think it's nice to have someone with those views in the community, it feels like you have a lot of respect for the victims, and none at all for the killer, as it should be.
I've been following Cas Crim since the early days and it's a really important reason why I keep following. There are some others with that compassion and consideration (Emma Kenny, Stephanie Harlowe, Kendall Rae etc.) but Cas Crim is definitely in my top three. I actually move on immediately if I feel a content creator is disrespecting the victims and treating them like they aren't real human beings with value.
Wow that is a child's dream.....Monday morning, "sorry miss Dixon, I did do my homework but someone broke into my house and stole it, honest Miss"
I always feel like I have at least some things in common with Simon, and then he occasionally, casually mentions that he has a little house in the country, and I feel very alone again
I was separated from my first wife for almost 3 years before I filled for divorce. What triggered that was she started threatening to keep me from my daughter to punish me because she didn't like something, I can even remember anymore, but she said "we have nothing in writing, I can keep her from you" on Sunday, so Monday I hired a lawyer to get things in writing.
22:44 he died saving his little girl from a monster…
I don’t think he regretted it for a moment. Just… slipping away knowing she’s safe. Okay. He did it. ^^;
I hope that legend is resting easy.
