My dad was super protective when I was growing up. Until I was 10 I wasn’t allowed to go beyond the garden to play without asking permission. And he walked me to and from school till I went to high school. It was a short walk. I had a curfew until I was 16. Sure it was annoying at the time and I never understood what he was so worried about. It’s only now and seeing so many of these cases from the past and present that I realise. I’m so grateful to him now. ☺️☺️

When I was a kid (around 10 years old) I did goto the grocery store a couple times on my own, walked 3 km to the groccery store, spent around 200 dollars picking up pretty much the same stuff I remember my parents grabbing (and maybe adding some fruits and a candy bar I wanted) and took a taxi home with the groceries. When I got older I'd typically goto a internet cafe for a bit before doing the shopping as my father would let me have a couple bucks to pay for a couple hours at the cafe so I could download a bunch of anime and stuff (and than goto a 24 hour grocery store in the event I stayed at the cafe late) I'd be doing it that way for years up until my father got a car I think in 2016.

The guys name was Simmons, had only been with the department for a handful of months, maybe about 8. Anyways, Simmons and another officer became close friends, and for whatever reason, simultaneously left the force only a few months into their career. It was only a few years later that a body of a young girl was found with a .38 special round through the back of her head along the Highway. My grandfather responded to it, not knowing it was the work of his former partner.

Im kind of glad this is what youre upset about. Sweetie, every single death that a cop comes across is photographed with personal devices. They trade the images amongst each other & laugh about how worthless the lower class is. You see, I dont mean socioeconomic classes. I mean the fact that cops believe society itself is 2nd class compared to themselves. If you were to committ suicide or have a loved one commit suicide, Cops dont care. They will add more photos to their self-pleasuring eollection of dead people, they use them like pokemon cards. So just keep this in mind. If youre ever found by a cop, theyre going to be mocking you. They are going to make your loved ones see the images(yes, cops have intentionally mailed death photos of people they just happen to dislike. Cops even have their own forums that are 100% blocked from public view, and i once had access. Reading their posts has damaged me personally. Those sites need to be destroyed. They share with other officers how to get away with arresting intoxicated women & how to rape them without being caught. Its all about their little "payback" for all the hard work they claim to do

7:55: "... that did not make a lot of sense (Brenda saying she was coming home in a cab), since Virginia was over 170 miles away." False and inaccurate statement. Virginia, via the Wilson Bridge, is less than 10 miles away from where Brenda lived.

Simon - Please do one on this guy! Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Karelin (kah-RE-lin, Russian: Александр Александрович Карелин, IPA: [ɐlʲɪkˈsandr ɐlʲɪkˈsandrəvʲɪtɕ kəˈrʲelʲɪn]; born 19 September 1967) is a retired Greco-Roman wrestler for the Soviet Union and Russia. Nicknamed the "Russian Bear",[2] "Russian King Kong",[3] "Alexander the Great" and "The Experiment", he is widely considered to be the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler of all time.[1][4][5][6] Karelin won gold medals at the 1988, 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games under a different flag each time (Soviet Union, Unified Team and Russia respectively), and a silver medal at the 2000 Olympic Games. His wrestling record is 887 wins and two losses, both by a single point.

Since Brenda was the only one who had her shoes still on and that the killer had left a note with, I’m more likely to think that she wasn’t killed by the freeway phantom and that the person who did it had wanted to falsely implicate the serial killer in order to throw investigators off track. I feel like the shoes were either a trophy of sorts for the killer or could perhaps contain strong evidence that would’ve made the killer easier to track down like some very specific or uncommon type of mud or dirt that could’ve been on the shoes. Even though her shoes were found next to Danielle’s body, I’m more inclined to believe she was a victim of the freeway phantom since her shoes had still been taken off and it could’ve been that while in the process of removing her shoes the killer became spooked and needed to get away from her body quickly. Plus, I feel like if the killer would’ve written a note and left it with Brenda’s body then he would’ve continued the same pattern with Danielle since her murder came afterwards. That note and the shoes still being on her body are two big discrepancies in her case compared to the others and it feels far more likely-especially if she’d known her killer as the handwriting expert had said she hadn’t appeared under duress when writing the note-that the person who killed her had been following the case in the news and used it as a convenient distraction to avoid any suspicion being placed on them.

Randy Kraft was a serial killer who murdered Paul, one of my dearest friends. This was in the 70’s in Long Beach Ca. It was said that he murdered and tortured up to 67 victims. The victims were young gay men so there wasn’t a lot of concern amongst the Long Beach police department. This allowed him to kill for quite a while. In that same vein, a few years later when the AIDS virus struck the gay community, our government looked the other way, nobody cared, or as they used to say “it’s killing all the right people. I lost the rest of my friends to that killer disease, Paul, then the rest all gone because no one cared...

another great video as always from simon & the crew. my only suggestion would be that you use a different shadowy figure in the thumbnail. i think this is the third time that the image of the hooded figure with a red ? over their face has been used. i say this because when i first saw this video in my recommended, i thought it was one i had watched previously just from a glance at the thumbnail. always love your videos though!

Anthony Johnson (1600-1670) - a former indentured servant who became one of the first African American property owners in America and a successful tobacco farmer. Lord Mountbatten (1900-1979) - Prince Philip’s uncle and Queen Elizabeth’s second cousin once removed who was assassinated by the IRA Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) - Japanese poet, author, playwright, actor and nationalist who committed seppuku after a failed attempt to overthrow Japan’s 1947 constitution.

Eamon DeValera (1882-1975) - prominent political leader in 20th century Ireland who, after the Irish war of independence from 1919 to 1921, was in the public eye for over forty years from 1922 until his death were he served as head of government (Taoiseach/prime minister) and head of state (president). He was nearly executed in the Easter Rising in 1916 and was key in putting into place the new constitution on 1937. A very prominent Irish figure and one of the most important in Irish history.

He commit suicide at the age of 77 because of chronic pain from health problems. Emile Zola (1840-1902) - French novelist and journalist who is an early practitioner in the literary genre, naturalism. He was involved in the Dreyfus affair, a political scandal in France. He died in 1902 at the age of 62 from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. ryoichi sasakawa (1899-1995) - Japanese businessman, politician, sports administrator, philanthropist and was criminal who helped Norman Borlaug with his Green Revolution. Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) - Irish poet, playwright and translator who won the 1995 Nobel prize for literature and wrote a poem about The Tollund Man comparing his cause of death to The Troubles in Northern Ireland. W.B. Yeats (1865-1939) - Irish poet, dramatist and writer with an interest in the occult who helped found the Abbey Theatre and was a senator for the Irish Free State. He is one of the most important historical figures in Irish history. Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021) - husband and consort to Queen Elizabeth who served in the navy as a young man, serving in the Second World War. He died recently so it would be a good choice. Jordan Belfort (born 1962) - former stockbroker, author, motivational speaker and convicted felon who committed fraud via stock market manipulation. His book was the inspiration behind the film The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio in 2013. Andrew Cunanan (1969-1997) - spree killer responsible for five murders before his suicide via gunshot. His victims include Gianna Versace and Lee Miglin. Lee Miglin (1924-1997) - American business tycoon, real estate developer and philanthropist who was spree killer, Andrew Cunanan’s third murder victim. “The Count of Saint Germain” (1691 or 1712 -died 1784) - European Adventurer who achieved prominence in high society in the 1700’s. His real name is unknown while his background is obscure. He claimed to be the son of Prince Francis II Rakoczi of Transylvania. He was arrested for suspicion of espionage during the Jacobite rebellion but was released without charge. Julia d’Aunigny (1670 or 1673 -died 1707) - 17th century French opera singer who was known for her flamboyant lifestyle. Her father was a secretary to the master of the horse to King Louis XIV. She was a keen sword fighter, cross-dressed and tried to run away with a female lover after killing a man in a duel. She died at the age of 33. Past American presidents, British prime ministers, monarchs and Roman emperors would be good as well.
