All parole board decisions need to be made transparent to the public, when the convict is violent or a murderer. They are full of unqualified people and are rife with nepotism.
Imo, parole boards should have conscription like jury duty. When it's a random sampling of the public, they're a lot less likely to walk. The public doesn't care if you found Jesus just in time for your parole hearing for murder.
There are plenty o nonviolent criminals they can parole instead of the sick violent ones, yet the parole board members choose to release the violent ones back onto the rest of us. I guess it's just repeat business to them.
When this murder commit another murder, these people to be held accountable for it
❤
What a shame…especially for the families of victims. And potential future victims.
For crimes as serious as this, the idea of rehabilitation shouldn't even be contemplated, if someone wants to achieve rehabilitation and redemption, feel free to be an upstanding citizen whilst sitting in a cell for the rest of your life.
TRUTH!!!!
Amen to that... Murder is bad enough, but the extended time period those poor terrified young people had to spend, probably _knowing_ what was coming. And when the violent crime of the offender has a sexual component, 'rehabilitation' is almost impossible. It's not worth the risk to the public.
"Amen"
In Australia we have a few serial killers like Mr McDuff they will never be released, one has been in prison 55 years, he raped and murdered some young girls when he was 21.
Jesus is the ruler over the affairs of men
It is unbelievable that McDuff was released considering he was on death row for so many years. I just don't understand how such a dangerous individual was even considered safe to be let out. So awful that he picked up where he left off..
Government doesn’t care about the people dumazzz
Texas tryin to b California
😢Theres two kinds of people that do this 1 people that have a close loved with simular behavior and hoping n praying that by showing mercy when the loved on trespasses their loved on will also have mercy. Or they committed a great harm and secretly pray for mercy. 2 theres people with an attachment or possessed n secretly know and find glee in others pain.
@ydoicare2000 oh enough with the California stuff for god's sake. The problem isn't CA, it's TX. And Alabama. And Tennessee, and Florida. And all the others that have the lowest income and education and the highest crime rates in the country.
@@ydoicare2000you don't know Texas, Texas would never try to be like California. you need to read up on this story. it was a court system pushing Texas to let inmates out due to overcrowding. and that guy would have been put to death right away if you didn't have people opposing the death penalty.
I was shocked that police weren’t waiting outside the prison when McDuff was released. The police could have charged him for the other two murders since there is no statute of limitations on murder. Therefore, police could have been waiting to arrest him for those two murders and simply put him back in jail. That would have protected the public and prevented the other crimes he committed after his prison release. SMDH
Fvckin totally agree
100% agree!!
Yes, that's what I thought!
Yes, I agree. Unfortunately policemen are also humans just as we are. Police work is very hard and I’m sure they clock in and once they clock out they forget about their work when they are home with family.
Right? My thoughts exactly! WTF?? The system was dead with no imagination at the time. If Texas had over crowding issues why not ship them to other facilities in other states not suffering from overcrowding the states will get funding for those prisoners or maybe they didn't give funding for that back then, but I'm almost certain they did? Regardless those that set him free, I would send them a vile Christmas card every year till I died or they did reminding them how they where responsible for those poor women. Disgusting 🤢🤢🤢

My aunt was murdered by her boyfriend in 1970 in Texas and because his family was apart of the law, they covered it up as a suicide. There’s no reason he took a shower & washed his clothes after “finding she shot herself” justice isn’t always served, sadly…. RIP my beautiful aunt, Alice💕 I’m glad you’re reunited with my momma 🥹
Rip
There is a duty for the male members of the family in those circumstances.
Im so sorry
Where about in Texas?
@adjw212 and sorry for your loss.
I read recentlythat the reason he told them where Colleen's body was at was because he had a bad toothache & they withheld pain meds from him until he told them where she was. Good for them.
Yea that is totally untrue
In the absence of dental problems enhanced interrogation techniques might work.
@@texasray5237 lol exactly
They should have still withheld the meds…just on the principality of it all
There’s no statute of limitations on murder. Why wasn’t McDuff immediately charged with the other two murders?
good question.
I was wondering the same thing
I agree 💯
This is what happens when the system is overwhelmed with illegals. I dont care who they think they are or what they are running from!! It inevitably hurts USA citizens!
Jip. Just sometimes I wonder how would things like this play out if unlucky people where used to frame stuff on, stuff who elitest and their cronies did, like satanic ritual abuse and deaths and sex trafficking ext. I've heard them to find use but also frame the more low lives. But one just sometimes wonder what the real stories behind stories could be.
Whoever paroled that pos should be put in prison for criminal negligence.
Evidence of bribery occured
Actually they were
They should of gotten the needle as well.

@@ydoicare2000do you have a article confirming this.
Cases like McDuff make me a firm believer in Street Justice.

@@jerrydonquixote5927 I'm not religious so idc about the "hell" argument but I believe we should strive for improving things overall including the justice system, even if it takes time, rather than preach a "street justice" which would do (and does) a lot more harm in the end.
Who ever thought it was a good idea to let a vicious serial killer out on the street has got blood on there hands
Yes. I'd like to know more about that but I'll guess we'll never know.
The good folk of Texas as they didn’t want to pay more tax to keep people in prison
on THEIR hands
@@marymcguire603 get over it I made a spelling mistake wow
The court system - catch and release so they keep their jobs = supply of criminals.
If anyone deserves the death penalty it's Kenneth Mcduff, shame on the
parole board for releasing the serial
killer out, only to claim even more innocent lives. RIP to all the innocent
victims, you did not deserved what
has happened to you.🙁🙏
Technically he wasn't a serial killer because there was no time in-between the killings. He killed them all on the same night. A serial killer is two or more bodies with a period of time in-between.
Sncedayone, the 1966 murder was triple murder. The murder cases he committed after his release from parole are considered serial murder cases.

A quick background of me .... I have been a drummer for 3+ decades. But unfortunately 2 years ago today, I was on my way into work at 5am on my Harley Sportster 1200 and I had an accident. I broke my pelvic bone on my left leg and basically internally severed my leg. I had to have a double fusion at the bottom and top by the tailbone. Plus I crushed my L1 vertebrate and had to have a 5 vertebrate fusion with two rods and 8 screws to make it so I can walk and have a fighting chance to make it through the rest of my years.
With that, I went from playing Bass about 4 times in church to now being a full time Bass player. I wanted to join because I have only played at church and basically self taught. I have only recently started to learn some favorite rock and blues songs by using tabs. But I want to learn more theory and skills as I want to be as good on the Bass as I was on the drums as this is an instrument that I can still play and not be so hard on my body.

@@shanlim4625I think the point was he wasn’t technically a serial killer BEFORE he was paroled and murdered again
@@WideAwakeHumanHe should never have been paroled after killing 3 young people
Clearly a lesson here is that the Legal System IS NOT a Justice System.
Ain't that the truth....it's corrupt
Clearly
@@shanecrump7932I
There are too many criminals out there. Courts can’t keep up, jails and prisons are full. It’s a mess. Why are there so many murderers and predators out there anyway?
@@kimbostitch7034Especially here in the USA 🇺🇸!
Roy Green assaulted the young teen. He was there and didn't stop the shooting because it happened without Roy knowing his friend would shoot, but Roy still assaulted the teen even after McDuff had already shot the two young men. They are both culpable of the same crime...in my opinion.
The killer had more rights and more sympathy than the victims. So ridiculous
I can't believe Mcduff was paroled. It's stunning. And a slap in the face to the victims and their families. That is not justice.
Yes!!! I thought Texas was better than that! But it was a long time ago…
@@molliemae6855it still happens today
Citizens are not important to politicians. It's important to know the truth of life. Democracy is just an empty word.
@@LotusFlowerslovePosses could go wrong, too. Unfortunately, there's no perfect answer.
McDuff's mother enabled her son. That makes me mad!
Honestly, those who let him out on parole have lots of blood on their hands.
The Parole Board accepts no responsibility at all for their decisions. It would be a different story though if the victims were their family members.
I agree, that is completely nuts, they must have all been out of their minds. He should have had stalkers watching his every move that could have prevented him from killing anyone else by taking care him themselves.
There should be a law so that the members of a parole board can be held accountable for the release of a clear monster?. Those parole members clearly have a lot of blood on their hands due to their incompetence!
They let him out and he killed again. He was executed in 1998
Honestly I don't think anything anyone else says could possibly sum this vase up better.
The people who let McDuff out to murder again should have been held responsible in some way.
That includes all the people who didn't want to pay taxes to build prisons.
Same with the Biden-Harris Administration and illegals/fake refugees (economic migrants only) killing US citizens after being released into the U.S….and any other country foreign/migrant murderers are a big problem.
These old presentation videos are my faves. They’re nostalgic to me and the re-enactments are gold
If you are deemed to be a danger to society then there should be no parole for those criminals.. poor or rich - crime does not discriminate incomes..
The prosecutors who decided not to try him on all 3 original murders bear some of the responsibility. He could’ve ended up with 3 life sentences which may have made him ineligible for parole no matter the overcrowding and costs. Additionally, those families would’ve gotten the justice and the so-called closure they also so badly needed and deserved.
I am surprised that he was not charged with the two outstanding murders and locked up as soon as he was paroled.
100%
Good point
He should be charged for all 3
IDK your ages of the comments here - but there was a time in this country that "death sentence" literally meant you'd be put to death. The changes in law for the unfairly represented minorities and low income criminals got this guy rolled back to a life sentence instead of death. (He should have been looked at more closely for that, but you can't discriminate - the law must be applied equally) But again, that was a time in this country that a LIFE sentence meant "in prison until you die" and he was then on a life sentence, with everyone believing he'd never be free again. Then laws were changed AGAIN to put an actual number on a life sentence (thank the liberals for all these laws) and this horrible man became eligible for parole. The fault lies in that parole board who failed to take note of WHY he had a death sentence in the first place. This is liberal and Democrat laws at work, fully exemplified in one really bad serial rapist, serial killer, born criminal, who has benefitted from every major legislation they've pushed.
I can't help but feel nostalgic when I see these programs like The Prosecutors, The FBI Files, Forensic Files, and The New Detectives.
All three Eric, his mother, and uncle al, were psychos. Absolutely nasty evil people. As for mcduff whoever let him out in the first place should have been put in prison as well for they assisted in helping him murder after he was released.

Right
You feel better about yourself after that rant?
@@christophereichten9005 yeah I do, why?

Really omg they shed have never let this monster out at all
So there were others missing not mentioned here...
So. He was/is a serial killer 😳 🤣
@@CollieneDawson-hw7bj Strange that you OVERLOOKED the SERIAL RAP*ST PART
@@22ergieRape kills your mind. Murder kills kills you.
This literally just happened again in Texas with a guy named Raul Meza. He assaulted and murdered a young girl and was released and killed again. He was just caught last year.
So, killing three teenagers (rape & murder) is constitutional in the eyes of the law?? Than he gets paroled and received financial aid!! and they made a law in his name?? what kind of system is that? Those Paroled board members are responsible for every victim he had killed.
you are so right. Here in canada the only way for him to leave jail would have been in a pine box
Yes indeed
@@chuckbeedle1983 BS, under the Liberals he'd be on bail in a few years and get taxpayers paid abode and salary.
Unfortunately, the only crime that can affect a student getting financial aid is the sale or distribution of a controlled substance to a minor.
Agree, that's pretty messed up.
I hope he and his mother, who raised and defended the monster she called her son, are both rotting in h*ll. It's disgusting to me that he ever was paroled in the first place. Those who released this monster back into society should have been held accountable for their actions 😢
McDuff came from a very privileged background and was indulged by both parents. His mother whipped out a pistol at a school bus driver because he had kicked one of the McDuff brothers off the bus. We see that time and time again with these real psychos. A real bad seed with enabling parents--never accountable.
No kidding ...seems there is no accountability 🪀🎯
GREEN JAIL TIME AND MCDUFF DEATH PENALTY AND THE MOTHER ALSO SHOULD GET JAIL TIME FOR PROTECTING A MURDERER NO SORRY BUT JAIL TIME
Not only did he survive the death penalty in the first place, but also the second place and the third place. And then he was allowed by some ignorant idiots to be released from prison a free man! OMG. I didn't realize Texas had such stupid people on the Board of Pardons.
@@lucillekluivert343yep 5 years. A teenager’s parents who were aiding him in keeping him hidden they got charged for like 5 years. The first or one of the rare times the parents of the murder got charged.
People rotting in prison for drug charges and this monster gets parole after murdering 3 kids. And he murdered again just like law enforcement knew he would. Our justice system is a joke.
Street justice must be served
Agree with your comment.
People rotting in jail for drug charges related to PERSONAL USE, that never hurt anyone.
And this animal walks the streets after three murders and what he did to that little girl TWICE.
And Trump wants to execute all drug users. And disturbed republicans cheer when he says that.
The idea that people are imprisoned solely for drug charges is a myth. Most people are allowed to plead down to lesser charges, as this saves the state the time and money required to try and convict someone of a more serious crime. Someone “rotting in jail” for drug charges is more likely there because he committed far more serious crimes but pled down to “intent to sell.”
This is also how you end up with sex offenders with no record of convictions except things like “battery.” The rap sheet is the top of the iceberg. If someone says he or she has a record, assume until proven otherwise that that person is not telling you the full story.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 disgusting justice system held the folks acountable for releasing this sick monster
They did?
@@marshapieroni6677ok
Those families should sue that state, city, county and the people on the parole board for everything that can get. Only idiots would release a man that killed 3 kids and raped one!!
Truly sad when the perpetrators have more rights than the innocent victims!!!!!!!!!
In some central european countries this is normal, dealing with so called refugees.
@@peterborg3340unnecessary. And stupid.
It’s heat aching…. I get soo pissed
A death sentence means nothing all it means is a future encounter with the individual !!
⁸is is is 😢
It bothers me how the rape portion is always kind of a minor detail when describing these people's murders.
It is? I've never noticed that. How was it described as a minor detail in your mind?
People come for the murder and it's to uncomfortable listening to should tell you everything about that type of crime in documentarys like this
Many times it’s out of respect. Their loved ones often don’t want to remember them, or have them be remembered, for the horror of their final hours. Understandably, I think they feel like that’s not the sort of thing people need to know.
@@waynepolo6193 I believe this to be the case
I wouldn’t say it’s minor but compared to murder and torture it would come in last.
You cant rehabilitate monsters like this!!!
McDuff's mom is his accomplice and needs to be held accountable
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This is when families should seek their own justice
Monster doesn't deserve 3 meals a day doesn't deserve air that his victims breathed. Complete failure in the Texas parole system.
I'm disgusted too - all the way from South Australia watching this clip !
@@runnyhunny786 Thats what happens when illegals storm our boarders. "The system" is overwhelmed & criminals like this go free
When it comes to real crimes, the State of Texas usually fails big time!

I mean if he was given the death penalty like he was charged for with the first cases.They would of saved other women's lives
The people who let him out should get life or the death penalty themselves 😥
I thought Texas didn’t play around
I agree with you for they allowed this guy to leave.
And his mother
Exactly
That’s what you get for not trying him for “all three murders” in the first place! 😮
Exactly! If he had been tried for all 3 murders AND the rape, and been convicted I'm sure the parole board would not have let him out.
complaining that they let go of a serial killer...who had been charged with and convicted for only one murder so why not arrest him for the other murders as soon as he was released, or charge him with all three to begin with
Well, there is a lot that goes into a decision like that, especially back then. It saves the taxpayers a lot of money, saves the detectives a lot of time/effort, and saves the families a lot of heartache and stress.
@@VioletJoy well, between not doing their jobs in charging him for those murders or building enough jails to keep him in jail then the savings to the taxpayers really added up
@@onawarock5046 It's not really uncommon to not charge a criminal for multiple murders if they have a life sentence. Taking a suspect to trial is a huge ordeal that some families of victims would rather not go through.
It's easy to point the finger without understanding the whole situation. There was no way of knowing that politicians would get the death penalty blocked.
😢 just thinking if they kept him in prison all those poor people would be alive 😢😢😢
EXACTLY 💯
What gets me, the judge tried to save that evil man. I can see his lawyers trying to save him. But the the judge, taking him to the back and warning him not to take the stand. Glad he didn't get away with. Wow!
He probably did it to make sure there were no grounds for a mistrial. When people are so conceited like McDuff and entitled, they think they know best.
It's usually the last dumb decision they make.
It's a messed up system when a murdering rapist can get out on parole.
And it still happens all the time 😢

America's a great country. We just can't seem to get rid of the phuckin idiots makin the rules. 👍🍻
Yeah after the civil rights act certain people in power just gave up on pretending they cared about society and decided to just make things worse for everyone.
How do the people who chose to release this monster feel about their decision to parole him?
Their not worried. They know he can't afford to live in their neighborhood.
I think it is obvious when they made the decision.
They don't care
They probably didn't care
What do they feel? Nothing. It is a job for them.
How a child rapist is
Let out is insane to me.
Napolitano's mother was in the nypd. I wonder what other corrupt acts she did. I'm not criticizing the org itself. I'm talking about her as an individual.
A triple murder got out? Never should a person who commits such a terrible act be free.
When they found the empty grave for his next victim, major chills up my spine!!!
When they found he was up for parole why did they not recharge him with the other 2 victims cases?
Right…!!?? Am soo pissed watching this episode
The MacDuff mother is a real piece of her own ... 😮😮🎉
I see the system hasn’t changed.
I say when the system fails and releases people like this, those involved in the releasing, who didn’t do thorough research before releasing should be sentence to prison as well
The eye witness that heard, saw and witnessed her abduction is just as much of a low life. He may not have physically done anything to her but he allowed it to happen, without sending help! Mr I hope you never get to sleep at night!
He is a deranged individual...
He went along with what the other was doing , he is just as guilty.
Agree 100%
The case at the beginning of the video? He raped the girl, also.
Yeah he is a very weak man that is easily manipulated and bullied into doing things
Texan here: MacDuff was a rich man and the son of a rich man. We in Texas know why the system went easy on him.
This is truth. Under rated comment.
Yeaaa..ummm......he wasn't rich at all nor was the family he came from
@@marandafulbright8381 Are you joking? Everybody who knows about that case knows that he was a spoiled rich kid. Dad owned a concrete company and raked in dough when Texas had a building boom.

What I don’t understand is, that when he was paroled for one of the three initial murders and he returned to his home town, why wasn’t he immediately arrested and tried for the murder of the other boy, as well for the rape and murder of the girl?
The system is letting these violent criminals out on parole til this day smh
The law system worked so hard to prove to the jury courts of this evil kenievel ,but a parole board released a murderer back into society even a delinquent would know he would repeat his behaviour ,he had no respect for a woman or life ,an arrogant murderer.The parole board members whom voted freedom to this cruel human should be jailed for life families need to sue the system of parole board ,they were severely negligent .This my personal opinion.
I agree 💯
yes the parole board members should be charged as accessories. what was the benefit of paroling this rapist killer?
Texas should built more prisons
It took a Dem. [Richards] to make it happen
Our justice system is broken! You can’t rehabilitate a murderer, rapist, thief, etc! The parole board people are idiots! IMO
How do you go from death row to being eligible for parol?
Not to mention having a stay of execution pass twice before that parole...if only people didn't sit for 20 years on death row
Rehabilitation is a falicy. Totally shocked this would happen in the tough state of Texas! Blood is on their hands when they released him and he murdered three more women!
This is an excellent program! It's like watching a movie, great narrative👍👍
McDuff would have been put to death for the first murder BUT the US Supreme Court, mostly bleeding heart liberals, voted to put a moratorium on death sentence cases.
The closest thing to the death sentence is life without parole. Incompetence is everywhere...
What a seriously disturbed individual! 😢
What a seriously disturbing judicial system!!
What an evil individual and a corrupt legal system.@@airadaimagery692
My siblings and I were born in the 50's. We were blessed to still be alive and often talk about how fortunate we were and are.
Ok I'm happy for you what does that even mean what does that have to do with this story ? 🤔
The decision to release Mcduff back into society unsupervised after what he did to those three teenagers, was the biggest mistake man has EVER made.
Pretty sure Lawrence Singleton was another easy release who had raped a number of women and the 15 yr old hitchhiker he picked up and raped, to her pleas to let her go, he said he would. Pulled out a hatchet and chopped her arms off at the elbow and threw her off a 30 ft cliff. She did live, and he did time and STILL got out again, leading to the death of a 14 yr old.
Don't forget the DA didn't prosecute 2 of the 3 murders in 1966... Presumably to save the county money. If he would of had 3 murder convictions and a rape conviction he might not have been paroled ..... We will never know.
Not the biggest, but certainly on the top half of the list.
During world war 1 British soldier Henry Tandey spared the life of an injured corporal of the German army. That corporal was named Adolf Hitler. I think that was a bigger mistake but the one made regarding McDuff was probably one of the stupidest.
@@christopherarner8322q what 1à
I've studied serial killers since I was a kid. I have met a recently arrested serial killer. I have known another serial killer since his birth.My cousin was the recent victim of a Virginia serial killer.
Still, the killer that haunts me most is Kenneth McDuff. Just the fact that a mass killer could be released to become a serial killer is unreal. He even rolled through a police checkpoint with an abducted woman kicking the windshield. Wow.
This giant of a man was beyond scary. I actually think about him everytime I go to a self serve carwash. I thought about him when I traveled to Austin, Texas on business .I think about him whenever I hear about the Dove case- the Harrisonburg store clerk that is still missing.
This was one man around whom no one was safe. I'm so glad he is gone. He brought absolutely nothing good to this world.
Last tidbit, last year I worked with an older gentleman. In his livinroom is an old family portrait. Beside him stands a man that looks just like Kenneth McDuff. Knowing the killer's background, I knew it wasn't him. But, I still had to ask his name. Crazy
that's a federal crime to kill someone in the military wow!! i didnt know he killed her
Disgraceful system that allowed this monster out of jail.
It always angers & disgusts me when i hear a case about a PoS husband who murders his wife because she wanted to leave him for having affairs & cheating! Its so angering especially when he's done it before & gotten away with it!
Thank God for these prosecutors. Their diligence and perseverance is appreciated
Here’s a novel idea……it may work…..When Someone Is Sentenced To Life In Prison It Should Be the Actual Definition Of The Word. They Should Never Be Offered Parole Period.
No More Perversion Of The Language. Stop The Stupidity.
Life Means Until They Quit Breathing. No Parole.
Politicians Are Disgusting.
No one ever said criminals & killers are smart!!! They trip themselves up. They think because they can manipulate some they think they can all. Thank goodness they are wrong!!!
A fitting end, to a waste of air space!!!
Thank goodness they found Myra, so the parents 😭💔😭 & her children 😭💔💔, can have the opportunity to bury their daughter 😭🙏. Eric is guilty of being a serial killer, that's for sure!!! He's getting cocky& that's what will get him caught. They always get so indignent! That can change if he gets the DEATH ☠️💀☠️ PENALTY!!! At the very least LIFE NO PAROLE NO EXCUSES!!!
My condolences to the parents,any spouses or children 😭💔😭 grandparents, family members 😭💔😭 & friends.
I agree 💯 per cent!!! A life for a life. Politicians could change the structure of the judicial system but do nothing... A holes!!!
Why was his death centence in the electric chair postponed twice in the first place???anyone on the parole board who thinks men like these should get out should have to take them home as a lodger Sleep well!
No justice for his other two victims and their families in the first case,
Probably wasn't his first anyway
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
That's what I thought them 3 boys weren't his first
They paroled him!! Wtf that makes my stomach hurt!! Unbelievable! Not one murder but fucking 3 are you kidding me!! Absolutely sickening!! How does that even happen? I am confused?
At the very beginning,I took note of McDuff's ear sticking out. I said to myself, "this was done by schoolteachers" as in those days, that was their favourite method of assaulting schoolboys. Not girls, but boys. Most of them were nuns. So, my hunch was dead on. He was a creep early on.
Actually he went to school with my parents - same age group. The school teachers were bullied and threatened when they tried to correct or control him.
I am from Irving, Dallas County, Texas and although I don’t remember this horrible crime in particular, I remember thinking at the time that this sounded like a terrible idea and as a very young woman, this scared me to death.
I thought TEXAS prided itself on it's justice system. I now know they must've meant they pride themselves of their LACK of justice system.
So sad for all those innocent victims 😢
sherylrodgers4817 It’s the Dem states who have a LACK of justice - they actually release murderers in CA and NY
I remember that the problems Texas was having with its prison system were on the national news quite a bit back in the early 1980s. It was shocking to hear about Texas releasing all those prisoners. More like something that would happen in modern California.
@@valentinius62What is the situation in Texas now? Do you have death penalty? I’m from U.K. so am aware it varies from state to state.
@@jeanmyers1787 I don't live in Texas but I'm pretty sure they have it.
@@jeanmyers1787yes, we have the death penalty.
I'd hate for the parole board to release nonviolent criminals instead of people like McDuff.
It appears that in order to be on a parole board you have to be a an arrogant sociopath who really enjoys power
So this …. initially was locked up for a triple murder and spared the death sentence to be released and go on a killing spree!!! So messed up !!
Don't forget he got financial aid to go to college!
Getting rid of the death penalty was one of the dumbest things ever....
Thank you so much for sharing this it breaks my heart how many children are being abused Justice for this little girl
I remember living near Austin, Texas when this happened!! I was so lucky something like this never happened to me!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Everytime this nasty man went before the parole board-EVERYTIME- someone from the victim's family-the police departments -SOMEONE- should have gone, been there, to remind the parole board what this monster had done. ALL 18 TIMES. i remember this case like it was yesterday.....why didn't they charge with all 3 murders so the other victims families could have justice for them... beyond comprehension. He was the Devil's son and he burns in hell.
Rightfully so. And sadly…The Devil was female …
Imagine being so evil they name a law after you.
I covered the case of Noel, the boy who went missing from there this past year, and had NO clue there was already something insane that happened. Damn.
Those parole officers who set him free should be blamed for the deaths of those victims. A person who committed such heinous crimes at a young age MUST NEVER BE THOUGHT OF AS SOMEONE WHO CAN CHANGE. THAT PERSON IS PURE EVIL. Didn’t they read the report? He showed no remorse during his trial. 😡😡😡😡
Omg. On parole. Paid studies and dorm. This is insane.
I am sure that Mc Duff lied about his background to get scholarship Monet at TSTC and he probably lied about most of his information.
Yeah it’s usually you have to join the Armed Forces so you can get this kind of benefits but apparently you just have to be a cool blood killer and get the same thing makes no sense
The people that released this man on Parole knowing good and well what he had done prior should be held responsible. Anyone and everyone that was involved in this case knew he was going to kill again but the parole board released him because of overcrowding. Our legal system let these victims down and the people involved in allowing this monster to walk out of prison knowing he had brutally raped and murdered three teenagers should be put in prison for life. This is absolutely absurd.
Mer. They all knew but... what you pretending delaying the next murder until he served the last 1/3 of a sentence is fucking ludicrous.
And for you to pretend that you didn't know murders get paroled: well that's just stupid.
Just curious, what greater criminals they chose fit to keep in the prisons and release lesser ones such as Mcduff 🙄🙄🙄
The parole board who voted to let him out should be held accountable as well
14:20 well the supreme Court made a huge mistake because those criminals do not consider the Rights of the ones they do kill. If they can't own a gun and can't vote it's safe to bet they should lose more Rights than the victims or the victims families. 😢I'm so sick of everyone so concerned with convicted criminal rights over victim's rights.
Unbelievable. I would sue that parole board!!!!! Blood on their hands!
The people he killed sure as hell didn't get a second chance
Poor Valencia got no justice at all. She was barely mentioned, and treated as an afterthought even in this documentary.
You can’t rehabilitate evil.🔥☠️👎🏻
Are not rehabilitation and salvation the heart of Christianity?
so getting rid of the death penaulty actually harms the public, it's resulted in more criminals on the street
I have a lot of respect for ex girlfriend Zulema. She has an amazing memory and clearly is trying to be as helpful to.police at possible. Much of what she said made Troy sound suspicious, even if nothing is clearcut. Sending Troy that post about their truck shows she was probably worried, at that point. But I can understand her initial reluctance to believe he could be involved in Naomi's murder. Troy's suicide robbed the world of a trial, but not necessarily justice.
There is no statute of limitation for murder. When he was paroled he should have been charged at that moment and throw the oxygen thief back in prison awaiting trial.
I do not understand how this monster was let out on parole! The people who allowed it are also responsible for the later tragic murders!
You need to do some research into what happened and they gave an explanation during the video.
Terrible crime there and he walked free , how sad and pathetic is this ‘justice’ system
It's an abysmal failure of the system.
I call it the injustice system. Seems to fit a whole lot better..
I wonder how some of these defense attorneys sleep at night.
The parole board as well the state should be sued by the victim's families when this happens. Hell, they should be charged with the same crime the perpetrator whom they released commits.
1966- Texas- A farmer found an abandoned car and went to investigate and found two dead bodies in the trunk of the car. A witness came forward and gave the name of a man named Kenneth McDuff as the killer who shot the two young men and raped and killed one of the boy’s girlfriend named Laura Smith. The killer was convicted and sentenced to death but due to a Supreme Court decision that death penalty was unconstitutional he was not put to death and after 23 years in prison the Killer of three was paroled and the killer was now free and he started killing again and again. After nearly 30 years since the murder of three teenagers in Texas in 1966, and released after 23 years in prison and now it is 1993 when the killer was brought before the courts for killing Mellissa and then Coleen. Later Kenneth McDuff confessed to killing Joshua and another before he was executed.
The biggest mistake they made was only charging him for one murder of the boy back then, if the parole board saw a triple homicide, things might have been different.
I sure hope the mother of the criminal lost her job if she was working for the police department! Better yet she should’ve been charged and then fired!
