😭 thank you so much. This was beautiful
Thank you so much for all the talks and time. I'm so happy you liked it.
Absolutely heartbreaking we were the same age my condolences 🙏🏽
Yes it was put together nicely with dignity and respect for this beautiful innocent baby girl. Heaven gained an angel. May God keep you and may you walk with Jesus Christ hand in hand shinning your light and spirit on your family friends and everyone who has been affected by this horrible tragedy... 🌻💜🤍💜🤍🙏🏽🌹🌷🌻🌼🌸🌺🌻🌸🌺🥀🌹💐🌹🥀🌷🌺🌸🌻🌻🌻🏵️🌸🌺🌷🥀💐🌼🌻🏵️🌸🌺🌷🌹💐💐🪨🌼🌻🏵️🌸🌺🌷🥀🌹💐🌼🌻🏵️🌸🌺🌷🥀🌹💐
I am so sorry for your loss @Kimberly Ortiz 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That's truly Said
It’s so crazy to know that there are people just like him walking the streets freely, and we would never know
Very true
Reminds me when I was a kid there were girls my age being raped and it was a big fear in the neighborhood for years I just wasnt comfortable around no men in the neighborhood because just like you said you never know really it started when i was like 7 or 8 and when the killer was caught possibly 12 or 13 and i was shocked to find out it was a girl in the community dad We never saw hurt a fly he would go to work come home then i thought about it he did drink ill never forget it never and again you right you never know who it could be is why you really get to know people heck you could be sleeping with a murderer an never know it or worse
Agree. The fact is that felons on probation, parole & out in bond are not monitored nearly enough. Especially in 2023. All 3 categories should be monitored via GPS or other tech, especially sec offenders.
Found this channel & I’m REALLY impressed. This guy does the digging that’s disappeared in today’s media. Although he’s probably busy as can be, a university needs to get him teaching journalism classes. He more journalistic integrity than 99% of those making a living in corporate media. Good man.
And it’s always the ppl that that ppl and kids look up to are you creeps, like they say wolfs in sheep clothing, I know of afew fake arsehole s and I find it creepy when men work with children like volunteering as they act so creepy with kids, I always went to play scheme’s etc with my kids , I wudnt trust the ppl they allow to look after our kids on there own , we needs to put a stop to unqualified weirdo wanting to wk with our kids 😡😡
And what's really sad is there's people nowadays we're trying to protect these predators And say what they're feeling is normal And OK and it's not only here in America. It's all over the world. My husband is from Brazil. And the same crap is happening over there.
Millie was my friend when she lived in BK, her aunt is still my neighbor 🥺 I wasn’t t allowed to go to her funeral because I was in 5th grade and my family felt it was too much! This broke my heart seeing her but I’m happy there’s finally justice
My condolences
Sorry 😢
❤
Sendin hugs 🤗 ❤
My deepest condolences
I absolutely hate when people say "but he's such a nice guy" ... like no. You never know what people are like behind closed doors.
I know, his friend that said it must be some mistake because he's such a nice guy. Like no there is no mistake. DNA doesn't lie. You're "good" friend is a POS pedo.
💯
FACTS. I’m experiencing this now with my dad. he acts one way in public but behind closed doors he is a nightmare.
@@acealohbey2213its called backstage behavior look it up and show it to your pops with out saying a word...i learned this in a sociology class years ago..
@@acealohbey2213I’m very sorry to hear this..
I hope you find peace some day 🙏🏽
Love you Minnie ❤ thank you my family appreciate this! This is my uncle child.
My condolences to everyone that loved her. R.i.p
Condolences to you and your family. So glad the monster was found out!
They had that baby out doing errands at there doing dam errands late at night?!? I'm so angry at this story! Mom didn't go because she didn't want to face the scrutiny.
Same thing I just commented! Stupidity at its best! Failure
@@nolababe5049 Complete neglect
Even in the morning before school. Very very sad .. 😢
Abusive and wouldn't even let her have a relationship with her dad. Sad.
Yeah, but she was abducted from her own building on her way home from school.
It’s so sad to hear she wrote into a book about the things she wanted later in life. Baby girl was writing affirmations. RIP. This world can be so cruel.
Yes she was speaking into existence, claiming it! This story breaks my heart RIH baby girl❤
People not the world People
Some people can be so cruel...not the world. But we can always pray to and trust God for the good guys.
Only person I feel bad for is Minerliz’s biological father who was an active father and had his daughter taken and hidden from him by the mother. Sickening. The mother and stepfather not being present at the funeral or involved in the investigation speaks volume 💔
So sad, I hope that man gets the maximum of jail time, or the death penalty if we had it in New York City.
Sad
He shouldve taken her to court, all he needed was her full name and social. He couldve also hired a private detective. Its a bit of money, but im sure if someone wouldve suggested it to him he wouldve spent the money.
I'm always hearing about women doing stupid shit like that. Women, y'all need to let these men have access to their children. The men that are active fathers...they deserve that.
@@AshleyS.& What If He Didn't Have Her Social Or Large Amounts Of Money To A PI? He Did Great As A Father, He Is Not At Fault.
I've lived in NYC since 08. I'm very familiar with Jupiter, from seeing him in Times Square, and a couple times in Washington Square park, and this makes my skin crawl. This guy was SO down to earth, and easy to talk to, he even remembered my name, the second time I seen him. This is the closest I have ever been to something like this and though I didn't know the family, I feel angry and lied to. I can only imagine how THEY feel, living in the same building with this monster all this time. They need to go over his life with a fine tooth comb, I find it hard to believe this is an isolated incident.🤬
Obviously her mother & step-dad didn't want to face the ugly truth they had a part in. Using that girl as a house slave while they sat in the house dumping adult responsibilities on a child. Then keeping her away from her father who I'm sure would have protected her much better than this. They should have put child protective services charges on them as well if they were making her roam dangerous streets at night alone.
Absolutely. A mother in tune would've seen how Minerliz was being preyed on.
Greatly put💯
I grew up in those times. I had felt some of my friends had too much responsibility in those days but families were bigger and it was very common to do a lot of chores and believe me the parents were not sitting around doing nothing. Dinner was often made from scratch and for a large family, few convenience foods and take out People often had to care for their elderly parents or neighbors too. I had little brothers and my grandmother came about once a month to help my mother just get caught up. She'd clean and mend clothing and give my mother a break so she could go shopping. At age nine I helped with the care of my infant brother such as diapering etc. and even babysat while he was sleeping while my mother made a quick dash to the supermarket. Rare was a parent that ever washed dinner dishes or mowed the lawns in my neighborhood. The kids did all of that but we still had plenty of time for play and to be kids. Although Miraliz probably had too many responsibilities as the eldest, kids today are given far too few responsibility and as a consequence they are too self focused and unprepared for adult life. Kids that do chores feel part of the family unit and feel a sense of accomplishment when given some responsibility.
@@lorimav from what I've seen children given too much responsibility immediately bail and run from their family as soon as they can. Then they grow up to avoid family responsibilities and aren't nice people.
@@rmsg7504 Now in days it is really rare to see a child that has been given too much responsibility but in the 60's and 70's I witnessed that. Children given no responsibility is what I see currently which leads to the inability to take on responsibility when they become adults and a very self centered and entitled attitude. A happy medium should be struck instead. I I once asked advice of a woman who was a specialist in childhood trauma and ran a system of group homes and summer camps for fostercare children when besides having my biological children I was about to adopt 3 older children ages 7,9, and 11. Her biggest piece of advice was a little unexpected. I was expecting her to say to have a thick skin and don't take attacks personally, etc.. but she kept on emphasizing the importance of giving age appropriate responsibilities, animal care, food preparation, etc. for building a feeling of belonging and for building self esteem. Where as sending a child to a sweat shop to sew clothes or being put in charge of younger siblings 24/7 might cause them to flee, having them care for pets, help clean common areas, and participate in meal preparation are important for character development and bonding. People have gone from one extreme to another, when the middle is the most beneficial.
I am glad my parents let me pick my chores. I generally hated cleaning the house and doing dishes. I chose mowing the lawn, occasionally keeping an eye on the younger children, and the shortest cleaning chore, once a week cleaning the bathroom that only took about 30 minutes. I got out of all of those dishes just because my mother hated cleaning the bathroom so much. My father also appreciated me answering his business phone when he stepped out of his office which also rang into our house. He was very proud of the way I handled those calls and wrote up the messages and I was too. In the end it wasn't much work but it did teach some responsibility and appreciation for what a household needed to function. Also, when I became an adult my parents very much helped me financially and they helped set my brothers up in business. My father is gone but my brothers and I have the privilege of helping my mother out and paying back some of the tremendous help and care our parents gave to us.
It’s makes me so infuriated that he lived his life well after taking an innocent one away.
😢that’s the part that’s eats me so crazy makes you rethink ppl and keep ur kids as close as u can
I feel for her and her father sad story 😢
He's no longer living his life well and when the prisoners find out his crime he'll wish he were with Mini
Hippy though that DNA research is making it possible to get them caught and prosecuted before they die.
It's always like tht. America's too focused on men not paying child suppose or paying traffick tickets
What you get away on earth you are punished for in the afterlife and thats forever. Life is short even if we live 100 years.
this is heartbreaking. I taught at her school 2 years after she was killed, and this is the first time i have heard about Minerliz. How awful that there was no memorial for her set up at the school.
Sometimes things like that are too depressing for the other children. She deserves to be remembered, but in a non-traumatic way
The fact that she wanted a telescope for her birthday and aspired to be an astronaut..SHE KNEW HER KILLER. The parents probably knew him as well. She had to have known him to go with him!! She was a smart girl. She was comfortable being around him!!
Seriously, he must have been grooming her before he finally struck.... Just a crazy parallel that she had dreams of astronomy and her killer would go on to shape his entire public identity around it. Horrible
Frrr this whole story is so so messed up and sad
Thats exactly what I thought. She probably spoke to him and he convinced her to get a telescope. He was watching her, and he knew her family pribably wasnt that active in her life. They look for vunerable people then strike.
Yooo wtf i didn’t even make that connection good catch bro..damn..
Right smh
Her body was found in my neighborhood as a kid and I remember being so scared and even more scared to walk near Hollywood videos. She was the same age as me at the time. I am so glad they finally found him. May she rest in peace.
Where did you live.. u lived in co op?
@@ygkt1339 Yup
What section.. cuz I’m from section 5
?
Yea I use too see her a lot before all this happen she was always to herself
Absolutely loving the focus on NYC cases that were low profile for the nation, but high profile for the affected communities. Keep it up, my man!
EXACTLY
Big facts 💯 💪🏾
Me too!!!! A lot of CZcamsrs cover Midwest or southern states murders. Rarely see people covering NYC cases
It's how the government controls it's population .
Yes!! My hometown. Even though I don’t live there anymore, my family still does. There’s still no place like NYC.
I went to school with her and Kimberly. I never forgot this tragic moment. It was horrible. The whole school was effected by it, let alone the area surrounding. When she was located in co-op behind Hollywood videos, it was a complete shocker. My youngest daughter went to JH 135 as well just 5 yrs ago. When it was broadcast that this animal was FINALLY found and arrested, it just brought it all back. All the memories and emotions. I glad justice has been served and pray she can finally rest in peace. Prayers to the family and Kimberly 🙏. Thank you for making this video!
This was pinned and now it’s not 😞
I had a ❤️ feom
Evil intentions and it disappeared 💔
That’s so weird to not be at your child’s funeral.. it makes you wonder if they had something to do with it
Your voice is so gentle. Being a New Yorker, we usually speak loud and fast. I like the way you show respect for these victims. God, forbid something would happen to my child. They would be burying me with him. I'd go crazy, without my son. He's soon to be 33. Let someone hurt him. Or do something to him. I love, my freedom, but I will go to prison for him.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
🙏🏽🕊♥️
Feel
You.
Yes ma'am I'm the same way 💯
Yeah great way to show compassion for the victim.
Aw that creep got her because she was into astronomy.. and to see that for years he was around people and their children.. smh this story makes me full of rage! 😭 RIP Baby girl 🙏🏽💕
Who knows maybe he is the one that introduced her to it, being that he was hanging out with a telescope around the neighborhood.
Aw? You sound like an asshole saying that
@@mindovermatter1214 My thought exactly and he took advantage of her and killed right in his apartment in the same building she lived.
I SAID THAT Too Fela Felicia. I hope he gets the death penalty and he doesn't get to sit in prison on death row for years ‼️🤔🧐🤨👁️👁️
@@caroleroseburgh1344 facts he done say for years already. They need to cut his power off
Millie was a friend of mine, thank you for this story bro and your show sheds light on all nonsense that went on in NYC over the years! Thank you so much bro, our birthday is the same day!
As a parent, you are supposed to protect your child. She was not being protected, she was just too easy a target. Running errands and being by herself at such a young age. Criminals know who to go for. Her mother and stepdad are guilty of leaving this child unattended and dumping adult responsibilities on her. Also, not letting her dad see her for all those years? She is definitely evil and should be punished as well. I hope she gets the karma that she deserves.
The person who did it was def studying the whole family. Fully aware that she didn’t have a “real” parental figure in her life. Bendito my love!!! I’m so sorry you had to die this way. Very sad.
She did mom just took her away and didn’t contact him😒
@@lil4621 hold up. You mean dad? Remember he sent the daughter to live with her aunt (his sister) before the mom came to get her. He’d relinquished his primary care. So I wouldn’t say she took their daughter from him.
@@AshNikkosWife. Whoa, hold up there , he sent her to her aunt so she could attend school and VISIT her mom, not live with her. Her mother took her away and hid her from his entire family, he NEVER relinquished custody. Her mothers family actively rebuffed his efforts to find his daughter. He never gave up! Perhaps you misheard the story?
Truth Indeed Ugh
@@AshNikkosWife to add onto this, it makes sense bc he clearly wanted better for his daughter. PR was doing so bad at that time which is why boris migrated to ny and jersey which was in search for better opportunities especially when it came to education. I don’t blame him for sending his daughter to stay with people that they both know well and trust. It’s sad that the mother cut him and his family out of her life though.
This is the scary part of living in NYC. So many crazies disguised as normal people. RIP baby girl.
I'd rather love in new York than out in the woods where serial killers dump dead bodies
That's everywhere not just NY
Word
@@goldieslacks Right! Smh
Hope her mother never sleeps again knowing what she did to her daughter. She used her as a in home slave & kept her isolated from her father who seemed to love his daughter. It takes a special kind of evil to take love away from a child for your own selfish reasons, and then not even attend your child's funeral.
She was a Cinderella that deserved a full and fruitful life 💔😭💐
I hate when people say “this has to be a mistake” You can’t put nothing passed anyone in this world . My daughter wants to walk home by herself I said no for this reason. I trust her but I don’t trust other people
I was born and raised in the Bronx and we would hear of murders but never knew exactly what took place. My parents were super overprotective and now as a mother of my own, I understand and appreciate it. I left NY as soon as I became a mother. Thank you for sharing these stories. It means so much that you are taking the time to honor their names and tell their stories.
i love NY but I couldnt imagine raising a kid there. i visited a friend one time and she was having to carry the stroller up the subway steps. we were shook lol
I was born and raised in San Francisco, California and we would hear of murders and other crimes and knew exactly who, what, when and where things took place.
I appreciate my moms now more than ever because she was super protective. I think saying over protective gives it negative emphasis. But thank you. You are 100 on this one
@@lowlowseesee people who were born here know how treacherous NY streets are. There are so many ways to get taken or killed here and it has always been a dangerous city. Never mind what people say on the internet because we know what it was and is!!!
@@thawwtpoettt mine wasn't
She did routined runs everyday from home, to school, to the library , pick her little sister and back home then run errands late at night. It just made it seem to easy for her to fall victim to a predator. Her mother and stepfather obviously knew it wasn't safe but still made her do all that on her own. Make matters worse they had the audicity to not attend her funeral, wake or even participate in the investigations💔 She should have been left in the care of her father and his family 😢 Such a heartbreaking story😔
Yea he definitely caught on to her schedule smfh
Thank you for sharing this case with us. I'm so sorry for their loss. I lost my daughter around the same time as she was killed. My daughter was 10 and she died on 7/25/1999. I locked the casket on my daughter but forgot to put a flashlight in there for her. It broke my heart even more because my daughter was afraid of the dark. I couldn't function after her death. I was a mess. I don't know how I could have functioned had I not gone to her funeral. I'm glad her best friend was able to share some of the memories she shared with you.
This dude Jupiter Joe he probably adopted her passion as a way of paying homage to his victim. Shame on you. As for the mom it wouldn't surprise me if you said she was abused by her husband and he demanded she not go. I'm not sure what to think however wild horses and a mule couldn't delay my being with my child as she left this world and moved on to the next. I'm glad I was at her Heavenly home going. I'm babbling, I apologize good luck on this channel.
So sorry for your loss.
Sry for your loss. ❤
So sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you
❤
❤ 🙏
When it comes to kids I feel like the punishment needs to be just as gruesome as the crime! Society needs to send a message.
The guys in prison will definitely send a message when they tell the guard to look the other way.
@@ginacampbell8766 I agree but the punishment needs to be so gruesome that Its a deterrent for weirdos like this before hand. Like some mid evil type shit
They should allow the Victims closest fMily members to set the (Baby,/kid/teen) etc. Killers on fire 🔥 so they can hear these cowards scream for mercy.
@@lorenzo2534 I agree
Torture EVERY DAY, KILLING TO FAST, DEFINITELY NOT AN OPTION
Just think...if her "mom" had left her with her aunt, she'd probably still be here today.. UGH!! Her poor Dad. SAD!! 😩 REST IN PEACE BABYGIRL. 🙏🏾🕊️
So fking sad
@@kumarj4693 YEAH, WE SAY THAT WHERE I'M FROM TOO, BUT IT'S STILL SAD.......................................🙄
I’m not sure the her murderer seem to had been watching her for a long time I think it’ll would eventually happens regardless of she escaped that night in the story it was said that she walk the streets by her self or would run Arron’s joe knew this
That how alot mother do
@@kumarj4693 I get what your saying but In this case the mom kidnapped the daughter and cut off contract to her dad and his side of the family and had her out at night doing errands she deserve blame
Thanks for keeping her spirits alive. In 1999, I also lost my son, July 4th. myself, condolences to all lost their lives 1999.😢 💔 😢
So sorry for your loss. I lost my Daughter last year 😢
Omg...this is heartbreaking. Sometimes, I feel like fathers are the better option to do the parenting. Idk some mothers...smh. She shouldn't have let a 13-year-old child run errands at night in an unsafe environment. Irresponsible. And she was overloaded with the responsibility of her younger sister. I mean, I understand helping out around the house, that's fair, but damn...some of these women need waaay too much from kids. That's probably why she didn't want to send her back to her father; needed someone to help take care of the household. Now she's gone. RIP Minerliz Soriano.
Her mother not going to her own daughters funeral is too much to bear 😢…my heart is broken for this precious little girl
Maybe she never really loved her.
She probably couldn't bring herself to see her child in a casket guilt has more than likely eaten her alive
@@lancestone4409 maybe she can't handle it i don't think i could go my kids own
@@mishacharles7634 maybe...
If my mother or the woman who adopted me is Alice when I die, I know she won't go. I don't even want a funeral. I was abandoned twice.....I am a proponent of abortion. The pain of living through so much I can't talk about is awful. If your own mother doesn't want you.....makes it kind of hard to have a good lufe!!!
Just goes to show that you never know who is a horrible murderer.
Very true
If this girl had a better mother she would probably still be alive. RIP little angel 😢
This is my first video I watched from your channel, and I look forward to watching the others. Your delivery, tone, and most important - the way you humanize the victims and their families is really well thought out. Makes it about more than just their story - it helps provide them with a voice. Good job. All the best with the channel!
I feel so bad for the dad. He missed out so much and was never given the chance to make up for lost time ☹️
That sweet little girl. To not go to your kid’s funeral, that’s so messed up. People with no care for anyone but themselves. My heart goes out to her father and family.
😔❤🕊️
Guilt and shame for their part in making that innocent young girl navigate her way through the dangerous streets of NY by herself. No respect for her as a human being before or after her death.
I believe the father was in Puerto Rico. I may be wrong.
@heavenjones3919she was with him in his country til she was 8. You do know parents send their kids here for a better life. Ask the mom was she kept her from the dad once she moved in with her.
@Heaven Jones Not the narrative. Her father loved her. A complete stranger killed her. NY is an easy place to hurt people and disappear.
This brave girl was making her way through the best of a tough situation and then some jerk has to come along and take the last breath of what she has - such a loser deserves the worst ! I love when DNA makes people pay for what they thought they got away with. I hope this girl would love the science that told the truth as much as i do.
This is beautiful how you are bringing attention to these stories. The Bronx has so much sorrow and pain. So many judge the area but fail to realize a lot of people who come from there are victims. Thank you for sharing these stories and giving these victims a voice.
Her mother and step father are so weird. It does seem like she was a maid to her family. Her father not seeing her anymore is heartbreaking. How do you not assistance in your child's murder or go to her funeral. That's not normal not to assist. Seems like her childhood friend loves and knew her more than family.
Her mother and stepfather probably didn't go to the wake or funeral because they had no clean clothes since the daughter did all the laundry 😤 I'm being sarcastic here, but seriously, how do you not say goodbye to your own child 😢
Smh it just doesn't make sense. The mother had to be feeling guilty about something. Treating her like a maid, keeping her from her father. And having her run errands by herself at night, so young really pissed me off. Like why have kids if you're gonna treat them like crap 💔
Yes also it's very common for mothers to be jealous of their own daughters, sadly. And the fact that she did not assist in looking for her and didn't even go to her funeral, wild 🤔
I have never ever heard of any close family not being interested in getting the murderer locked up. There could be reasons to not be able to go to the funeral but this sounded very shocking and cold to me, even with very old cases there are usually family members happy that case is opened. To care this little and specially as she was murdered.
Me personally… I find it weird that people go to funerals to see their loved one’s dead 🤷🏽♀️. I don’t want that to be my last memory so I don’t go to them either.
I am so happy her father got closure even if it was two decades later. Her mother and her step father are awful for treating her like a housekeeper so young. I feel like deep down they knew more than they were letting on. It’s so so sad. I wish her father found her years before when he went looking for her🥺
I don’t think they’re awful. It’s kind of a Spanish/black thing for kids to do chores, but I do agree it was a lot for her age….
@@Truecrimeaddict it's not a spanish/black thing... it's a POVERTY THING that poor whites and asians do as well my goodness
Crazy she might have been alive if her father raise her
I believe the mother knew something as well
@@Truecrimeaddict Some parents need so much help that they rob children of having a childhood. That's extremely unfair and burdensome. She spent her short life muling for them and died in the end.
Side note: Your voice is so soothing and the respectful and informative way you tell a story is captivating. Thank you for sharing this young ladys story Glad justice was served my heart goes out to her dad.
Thanks for taking such care covering this story. RIP little Angel
The fact that her own mother didn’t attend her wake or funeral is absolutely mind boggling to me 🤦🏿♀️🥹
She may very well could have been suffering horrible grief & may have been medicated
Omg,Truth Indeed Ugh
My grandma had to be sedated at my uncles funeral. My grandma is young and my uncle was 19. She literally was medicated and taken out of the service. As a mom I get it. I don’t think I could miss something like that and I don’t even wanna put myself in her shoes but I totally get it. She didn’t want to see her baby that way.
@@TheBlackMadonna222 I thought the same thing like you! That, she couldn't bare to see her child like that 😢
I had to be heavily medicated for my mom's funeral & didn't manage to sit through the whole thing. I highly doubt I could manage any type of human function for one of my boys.
Nobody seem to care what her father feels… they snatched his daughter away from him, kept her to take care of what they was supposed to do. They cared about themselves, and couldn’t see how it was they’re fault 😢.. For her father to just to see her again when she passes., it’s sad, but nobody cared smh
That's America for you. The courts are 98% of the time going to side with the woman.
I'm from NY USE to drive the busses in the Bronx. This story is sad. GOD GOT HER NOW.
So many kids being abused. And how can you not attend your child’s funeral?😢😢😢
I'm so mad the killer got 22 years to enjoy life and freedom when this baby's life was cut so short. I'm glad he finally got caught.
Seriously. Its terrible.
He still hasn't been sentenced. He is still in the city going to court😮 who knows if they let him go
Her mother will answer for her trifling and neglectful ways to a higher power.
So true

Seems like something was happening to that child at home.....for mom and the step father to just be able to move on is sickening. Doesn't seem like guilt...seems more like the child they used as a Housekeeper/nanny had other th8ngs going on. I believe they probably was scared of a further investigation so they left
Spot on.
This was really nice… she was a friend of mine in Jr HS and was the sweetest ever! I would never forget her and I was so happy to find out her killer was caught!
I feel worse for her father than I do the stepfather and mother. And how sick does one have to be to do this to a child and then carry one in the general public?
This one really choked me up. Easily a father's worst nightmare. Please keep these coming!
BINGO😢
Fantastic story telling, I feel the care behind words and details. RIP Minnie.
I really appreciate the integrity you have when presenting your cases thank you❤
Literally 5 mins in and HAD to pause to say what a lovely, bright and sweet person this young appears to have been. It’s absolutely terrible to refer to her in past tense. Heartbreaking… truly.
These 2 parents who give children all these damn errands and letting their child walk home. How dare they. You put her in this position. And the streets are unforgiving.
I’m so glad I found your channel. You do a great job covering their stories. I’ve been binge watching for a couple days now. You give attn to cases that are not talked about much otherwise. Thank you!
My condolences to loved ones
Thank you for fighting for innocent victims.
He thought he got away after 22 years! Smh! Glad they got him! Trust NO ONE!😢
I am a teacher that works in a public school in Brazil, and have to deal a lot with abusive parents and things like that. When the parents are distant from the the child and show almost no interest on how they are going and how they are mentally, we already treat as a huge red flag. So, yeah, a mother that don't go to the funeral plus what the father said is pretty strange and suspicious, imo.
I feel like she didn't really cared for Minerliz, or simply was indiferent for everything that happened. It's impossible to be sure, but, to me, it's a very big red flag.
Sounds like she only used her daughter and allowed her in her house for selfish reasons. Probably welfare benefits, housework, babysitting and to run outside chores and errands. The other sad thing is her mother mentally went on with her life with a new man and another kid so Minnie was no longer relevant to her emotionally, if she ever was at all. I'm sure her dad wanted the best for her but ended up sending her straight into the lions den. I'm sure he's living with a different kind of pain after it was his decision to send her to NY. Her mother is one disgusting and soulless chick who never deserved her.
Very strange
Said at 4:34 that Minerliz was into Astronomy and had big dreams bc she told her good friend also from same Bronx’s neighborhood of low expectations for successful future, that she wanted to become an Astronaut one day.. believe was the 🚩 flag bc for decades Martinez used his telescope 🔭 in front of the same building where Minerliz before her death lived and he would attract and fascinate children from the building and many just passing by… apparently she knew and trusted him, potentially he had groomed to lurer her the place found or his place to freely use that telescope 🔭 Martinez was questioned at time her body was found, but that telescope and her interest in Astrology are like symbolism, then advanced DNA decades later broke the case wide opened which revealed this narcissistic murderer, facilitating young minds.. R.I.P now Minerliz💐 💔🔭🚩
New subscriber. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. The manner in which you deliver these tragic stories, with kindness and consideration, makes all the difference. I look forward to more stories in the future. I'm a mother of two adult sons, and a grandmother. Fortunately, my over-protection and hyper-vigilantance, kept my boys safe. Sending blessings to all your young victims, and to you for sharing these tragedies. 🙏❤️
Thank you for this video it was so well put together. I was a senior in HS and worked in the Pathmark in that plaza when they found her body. You are so right it was an isolated area. I remember being so heartbroken and scared. It was so close to home I remember seeing her picture on the news.
It’s crazy because my mom went to school with Joseph and said that he was one of the sweetest kids. I wonder what makes people snap like that.. it’s so disturbing. Thank you for covering these stories! I am so impressed by the way you cover things, I truly wish all media would follow suit for victims/survivors. Thank you for not humanizing these monsters! RIP Minnie!! 🙏🥀
@Alyssa Diaz~ I DON'T BELIEVE HE *SNAPPED 😡THAT WAY* (AS YOU PUT IT!!) ACCORDING TO THE *BIBLE*, HE WAS *BORN* THAT WAY!! THE BIBLE CLEARLY STATES THAT WE ARE BORN WITH OUR *SIN NATURE*!!! IT SEEMS THAT HE WAS PLOTTING AND PLANNING THIS FOR A *VERY LONG TIME*!! 😒IN OTHER WORDS...*PREMEDITATION*-- IF NOT HER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE ELSE!!😑 I'M SURE YOU HEARD OF *WOLVES* DRESSED IN *SHEEP'S CLOTHING*??🤨 HE WAS A *DEVIL 👹 IN DISGUISE* FROM "BIRTH*!!
He didn't snap, he hid it like he hid it again for years after her murder
I know a person that was great, but behind closed doors; he was vicious.
These "monsters" need to be humanized because they're humans. And if you look at them as more than monsters you can see that, more often than not, they were failed as children and perhaps, if they received better care as kids, they wouldn't have gone on to do the horrible things they did.
Not sure it needs to be said, but just in case... My point is not that I think we need to treat these people with kid gloves or glorify them. Rather, we need to look at how they got to where they are and how we as a society could have possibly helped to prevent such horror.
Rest easy Minerliz 🕊️ This is my first time coming across your channel and I enjoyed your presentation and personality so far! Keep up the great work, respect. ✊🏽
My father recommended your channel and I say this is an amazing channel the attention you give to the victims is astonishing and amazing thank you for all your work and effort
Her mother and step father not going to the funeral or helping with trying to get justice for their child sounds like guilt aside from her being their personal housekeeper and nanny they clearly failed that child and there was probably a lot more going on with mina that we will never know
Most definitely was more happening. I'll be doing a part two when the time is right. Going to wait until that trial concludes whenever it does.
@@EvilIntentions thank you for your content it is greatly appreciated and needed
This story sounds like her mother and stepfather either killed her or set someone up to kill her . Wicked ass parent in this world.
@@EvilIntentions can someone remind when he does a part 2 please
This gave me chills. As a child in nyc I wanted to be grown, not respecting nor understanding my mother’s rules to keep me safe. At 35, Harlem born/ BX raised, I’m thankful. God bless Minerliz, her father, and aunt. They were robbed of something so precious, I’m just crying.
I am so addicted to your channel thank you so much for bringing these cases to light they deserve nothing but love ❤
First of all, you did a great job on this video. Your clear voice, the way you captured and told the story everything. I can't imagine why her mother and stepfather wouldn't attend her funeral. That's crazy. I pray 🙏🏼 for her biological father. My heart goes out to him.
The sad thing is we walk around demons, murderers, rapers etc and dont even know it, I tell people to spend time with yourself and learn intuition and follow your gut when something just doesnt feel right, RIP LITTLE QUEEN!
A life cut so short could've been something amazing. RIP Mimi, it's wrong of the family not attending her funeral services. 💔 They shall reap what they sow 💔
I am so sadden and her so called mother and step father I hope they go straight to hell. Their maid passed away not their child. Disgusting losers. Her poor father who loved her so is the only one my heart goes out to. And thank you your show is amazing and you make people not forget those that many have forgotten. You are an amazing human being.Much Love 💕
She was my age and I also lived in NY… I’m 38 now and she’s forever 13. Rip angel ❤
I hope your channel blows up!!! This is quality quality content. Your voice, your tone, your empathy and story telling skills are unmatched. Much love from Virginia ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Well said...I agree 100%!!!
I remember seeing this on TV awhile ago😢. I think guilt on the mother’s part kept her away. She had her “running errands” at night when she should’ve been home. The fact that neighbors noticed the girl doing a lot of chores is probably when her killer “noticed” she would be an easy target😢.
You straight lying. Quit playing.
That’s how it usually happens unfortunately
You made the right statement. He was watching her all along. He thought her mom didn't care because they were treating her like that and by not showing up at the funeral or the wake it speaks volumes.
This video was very sad but a wonderful memorial of a daughter whose Dad loved her so much. Very well spoken and very illustrated. Sorry you were alienated from your daughter. Her mother choice to stay away is questiable. Don't know what to say about that. God Bless you and you are a great orator.❤
Just discovered your channel and really appreciate your videos. Im not from NY but have lived here for 8 years now. I work with victims of violence/ crime so i really appreciate the education on the history of crime in NY. Great work!
I’ve seen another video on this case but your videos level of detail really adds so much perspective to the story. Great work
What's the other video
Yes and the location’s we’re chilling
Many times the killer is in plain sight. I am happy the killer was brought to justice. Unfortunately Minnie was their housekeeper just like her dad said. They had no real love for that baby. I never send my kids to the store alone. Never! Rest in peace Angel
Sad but True SMH
Killer can kill in go on to live normal life like nothing happened.
Thank you for telling the victim story with the compassion that you have
Amazing work. This is heartbreaking, The parents seem to know something or possibly just had guilty conscience for treating her so horribly. 🙏🏽
The way the killer went about life as if he was such a great human being just disgusting and around children. The “mother” one of those women who should not had been able to procreate, shame on her and to top it off not showing up to bury her baby.
This story is horrific, this man lived in her bldg a few floors away.😢 And her biological father never got to see his baby girl alive again😢
I love how you take the story & dissect every aspect of it...
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing this story.
I could never see myself not say good bye to my son this just made me hug him more ❤
Minerliz was in my class when this happened! Rest in peace beautiful
You told Minerliz’s story with such dignity and grace. May God be with her friends and family.💙🙏🏾
Wow. This is very sad. Thank you for sharing. May she rest in peace
this was so heartbreaking. I grew up in the South Bronx very similarly to her just a few yrs before her. This could have been me. Well done.
This hurts so bad.. thank God her body was found to be laid to rest and evidence. She was a year older than myself. I love you, Minerliz rest in heaven ❤
