What are your thoughts on how advancements in DNA analysis have revolutionized modern crime-solving?
I think it's amazing how far science and technology have come over the past 20 + 30yrs. It never ceases to amaze me, just how intelligent some people are... I mean, if they know they can figure this one thing out, but need technology to catch up, they'll go and invent the machine etc to make it work! ( Not talking about this case in particular, I mean just in general)
Don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to be that intelligent!
Thanks for the uploads ❤️
shout out to Alec Jeffreys. 🏆
It's the biggest scientific breakthrough since electricity, vaccines, automobiles, computers, ect. 😅

Don’t do crime 😂
What evil evil people. All because a daddy wanted to be a part of his child’s life
Killing someone who wants to be in their child’s life is so shortsighted. An x/partner could be a blessing to that child because you never know what the future holds.
Well said!
As a young journalist I covered this trial for the newspaper in Brownsville, TX. My most vivid memory is of the prosecution playing that horrifying tape over and over. I went on to cover almost 500 homicide scenes in bigger cities during my career, but I'm pretty sure this case haunts me more than just about any other. I am 68 now, and I still think of poor Billy and Letty all the time. Such evil, such horrifying evil.
Wow! How fascinating, I bet you lost sleep after hearing the tapes. People kill for the most frivolous reasons.
Fortunately poor Billy had the best idea by recording the whole horrible scenario. Makes me wonder if those evil killers might have got away with their evil deeds if Billy had not recorded their horrible murders. So sad, especially for the innocent kids caught in the hostility and bitterness of custody battles. Now they don't have parents anymore, cos their parents acted like squabbling kids, and doing the worst thing they possibly could. Poor kids, and their murdered parents. 😢
If I remember correctly from the trial, he taped the recorder to his torso on advice of his lawyer. Everyone connected with the case marveled at how it still worked after three weeks of lying in a wet, shallow drainage ditch in 90-degree South Texas heat.
🎉Happy 200th Anniversary to the Texas Rangers! 🎊
I really get a kick out of the way the writers occasionally word things. Saying that the missing evidence was rock solid gave me a good laugh. Sometimes, the writers are very punny guys, which helps to lighten the seriousness of the subject matter. The laugh didn't last long though, finding out they killed him with his daughter so close, & actually planned it that way, was absolutely appalling.
Condolences to all their 'Indian' native American victims and their families !
@@dangerwolveshowl6690Tragically, that is part of their history & the reason they were formed. While nothing can make up for their violent actions against Native Americans, hopefully, their later law enforcement efforts brought them some redemption.
All the (skipable YT) ads arent the channels fault, that's youtube. They're pushing more ads on every video to encourage people to pay for youtube premium. Its $10 a month, no ads, youtube music offline and gets you lots of other benefits. Worth it if you watch youtube a lot. Ive had it for so long that i forgot youtube even has ads.
its a greedy corporation being assholes by purposely blocking adblock. over $100 is a lot considering its been free. instead of paying for it i recommend using a VPN
I do watch YT a lot, because i can't afford even the most basic cable. When you live on a below poverty income, that 10 bucks would mean i don't have milk & bread the last week of the month.

I'm willing to watch ads, but when they're suddenly overused as a manipulation tactic it's hard to take it in stride.

$how me the moneeey!
People need to stop being so nice and helpful when it could endanger their lives. As a rape survivor I learned to tell people I couldn’t help them but I’ll call the cops and they can help them. Society functions on trust, but trusting many people can get you killed. Learn to say no to people who want your help.
Most people would disagree with you
Not any more
I'm with you on that. So many times iv been betrayed by supposed friends, over a hundred bucks sometimes. Just cuz they owe you and you finally ask for it back all of a sudden you mean nothing
I need more commercials CZcams please
A polygraph cannot "confirm" that a subject is "telling the truth".
All it can do is determine if certain questions make him nervous.
and also not admissible in court.
I think even kids in Africa living on the savannah in stro huts are now well aware of that. It's very old news.
@@Ainaes-Feline *straw
If the Texas Rangers are so great, why does Texas hv such high crime rates? Their fame means little.
CZcams PREMIUM to those complaining about commercials 😂. I had to pull the plug eventually since i watch stuff on here alot😮
About to watch 👌
"he had been sitting in jail for several days, so we KNEW he had to be clean at that time" 😂😂😂 that's really sweet and naive.

*funny
@@stfuplsok No, i meant punny. Funny is what i was trying to be by saying punny, cause they make lots of puns.
Never seen a Hot cross bun eaten like that!! 😂 cut in half, toasted and buttered!! X
I just pictured a Texas ranger with one reaaaaaally long arm.
So I wonder if the child witnessed her fathers death and who eventually got custody of her.
it says she did.
I think the moral of 66% of these stories is: Don't do drugs! 2. case: The guy was in jail for drug possession, so they could easily apprehend him. 3. story: They did drugs, one of them killed the other.
They may be tough law men but they look ridiculous hiking in ties through swamps.
poor audio levels here
I wonder what happened to his precious daughter who watched them murder her daddy- and I wonder if the killers remained in prison or were ever paroled ( I hope they never got parole)
They're still in prison, not eligible for parole. Daughter appears to be doing well and is married with a young family of her own.
Too many commercials has ruined a lot of CZcamsrs channel 😢😢
Time to upgrade to that premium 🎉
How you accidentally killed somebody
Twice!
Yes texas is big as hell😅.
Awful how people commit these crime.
Wicked men hope the woman in the house was arrested and charged
It's utube and comerciales
❤

Goodness way too many commercials !! Ridiculous!! Goodbye
I was an active addict for years. What kind of addict shares their drugs with no payment up front?
🎉
To many commercials…🤬 I’m out..!!👎
Thanks for the 'heads-up'....I can't do commercials!! FYI, you tube premium is worth the 14.00/month if u watch yt alot....I'm just late on my pymt, and having to be bothered with them commercials is a pain when u get used to not having them 👍😊
Dido
I didn't have any?
I didn't get one😂
Scroll all the way to almost the end and let it play out, then hit replay and you won't get any commercials at all....Your Welcome...
Cue Chuck Norris.
The Texas Rangers are like all American police departments, corrupt and abusive.
Native Americans not Indians. Also, this is why another woman doesn't go to another woman's house. Stay out of it and wait at his house.
I prefer Native or indigenous 🤷🏻♀️
@@clairebear206 I'm assuming you're Native or Indigenous. Therefore, thank you for the clarification or correction.
Too many stupid hats!
Hahahaha. "We thought for sure that the young man rap*d and murd**ded that woman because he was under the influence of Marijuana!" It's crazy how times have changed.
Poor old woman lock him up for good
So much for lie-detector tests. How did this punk pass twice?
