    New subscriber here! What a breath of fresh air this content is - no sensationalism, no dramatic narration, no creepy music! I really appreciate your factual 'no nonsense' approach to these cases which can often be incredibly moving (eg your Jo Yeates video) just from the way you tell the story. Totally agree with you about the British tabloids too! 👍👍👍

    It’s so interesting to me that for a long time it was made out (at least to me) that he was just “dumb” and that’s why he went along with police rather than them just feeding him the information. HLL fascinates me, the concept of falsely confessing for something as horrific as murder. Very strange

  • @stephaniec3619

    It’s so sad that he confessed to so many cases and they are now lost in the police records. So many unsolved cases. I’m not blaming him as much as I’m blaming the police departments complacency in the matter. Thank you again for your through investigation!

    My mom is 99% sure she had a close encounter with Lucas and Toole. When she was a kid, she and some friends were riding their bikes in Baltimore, Maryland when two men began chasing them in a car. They ran between trees to try to avoid the car, and eventually a priest from the nearby church came outside and scared the men away. We’ll never know for sure, but it was creepy nonetheless!

    This is an excellent overview- I've never known much about this case. Lucas' legacy has evolved from a sort of murder 'championship'- "most prolific"- to a question mark. What it should be, as pointed out here, is an illustration how our system fails itself. Instead of truth-seeking, we commit to the conclusions- if not beliefs- that serve us best.

    HLL seems like a text book case on the making of a serial killer out of your child. Looking at his childhood photo gives me such a broken heart. How could any mother hurt such a beautiful child? Parents like that are an infection in our society and in my eyes are just as responsible for their children's crimes as the children themselves- although I wonder what made her into what she was. How could any person could come out of that sort of childhood and not be a crazed murderer? I am not justifying his crimes by any means, because my heart breaks all over the place for the victims as well. I had a horrible childhood but I never lost my sense of compassion and empathy for the suffering of others, it's just that I feel compassion for the monster (or more for the good person who was destroyed by the abuse) as well as the monster's victims. This whole case is sickening on every level, from his abuse to the behavior of law enforcement and the involvement of religion. Thank you for another high quality episode. ❤
    Addendum: what do you think of the theory that Jeffrey Dahmer was actually Adam Walsh's murderer? As it turns out, there is some circumstancial evidence it was possible although I haven't delved deeply into it. It might be total rubbish.

    I learned so much from this video! I lived in Georgetown for 10 years, was really invested in Debra's case, and still had no idea about the extent of HLL's history there. As a side note, something hopefully a little positive, I remember visiting Debra's grave when she was still a Jane Doe, and then returning shortly before I left in 2022 and she had a beautiful new marker and a lot of people had visited to pay their respects. It was incredibly touching; a vivid example of how important this sort of work is, and how many people in the community really care about Jane and John Does, even after decades have gone by.

      Yes, and false confessions extracted from people who are simply kept in a room for hours and subjected to stress is also an interesting topic- the West Memphis Three case comes right to mind, but it's an eerily common phenomenon. You think no innocent person could be made to falsely confess to something, but it can be done, and law enforcement knows how.

    7:08-7:19 My mother's maternal grandfather was severely abused by his stepmother. Things got so bad that stepmother's own brothers turned against her and took the little boy into their own home! He grew up to be an educated young man and eventually had a rather large family of his own. He was a bit of a snob and a disciplinarian but as far as I can tell he was well-loved and was relatively unscathed by his awful childhood. Okay so maybe not entirely unscathed, given what I've heard about his strict ways, but hey at least he didn't turn into a serial killer!

    One of my pet cases was investigated as a Henry Lee Lucas case. Her name is Linda O'Day. She was a young woman who was found stabbed to death in her apartment in 1981. She had last been seen alive by her friends after going clubbing during the weekend. Henry Lee Lucas was considered because he has ties to the Delaware area, but I believe the police don't actually think it's him.

      She gets paid for the ad it self then maybe gets paid for people that use or download as it will be connected to her and it will probably be people who play s a while it depends on the contract she would have signed it’s difficult to pin point exclusive and I doubt she’s going to say as it’s a contract that she would have to sign

    • @georgiamarie_

      For most sponsors I’m just paid for the ad itself and not for each purchase - although purchases and link clicks look good and will mean a brand is more likely to come back to me again and again 😊 sometimes brands will ask for the analytics and will be able to see that people have skipped through the ad, which doesn’t look great but everyone understands that it happens
      In terms of actual purchases, very rarely brands will work on a more affiliate basis where I’ll get paid for the ad and then for each purchase through my link but that’s only ever been a couple of times in my career!

    I'm fascinated by this case, but there's something about it that always sticks with me. You can tell exactly how stupid US police are from this one case. First of all, they believed him, which.... I don't even know what to say about that. The part that really gets me, though, is whenever the department that "caught" him is asked about the gaping holes in his story, they say "someone had to have done all those murders." They refuse to accept that it wasn't him, because they firmly believe that all of the murders he confessed to were committed by one person. It's clear to me, and I hope clear to everyone who watched this, that Lucas confessed to every unsolved murder they put in front of him. Those murders were probably committed by dozens to hundreds of people.

    This is excellent, thank you! Clear, detailed, and you covered the believability issue thoroughly. I was in Austin, next door to Georgetown, at the time Lucas was arrested. So I got the story every day -- front page of the paper and first story in every newscast -- for what seemed like a hundred years. Once it was apparent that Lucas was directing his own circus, I tuned it out and the details all blurred together in my head. This is the first time I've heard it presented coherently. Bravissima!

    the little cops that cried Lucas. A story old as time, an important lesson never learnt -the little boy that cried Wolf. My eyes would be detached from their retinas if they rolled every time there is some big scandal for a lack of a better word, that involves someone crying wolf. The inevitable result is someone else suffers as the credibility of what is cried wolf about is eroded as a result, especially if it's for deplorable things to cry wolf about like rape or in this videos case murder.

    If you can ever find the movie “Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer” you should watch it. It’s really old but worth a watch. In one scene Otis and Henry are harassing a couple they’ve tied up during a home invasion. The clip transitions to a VCR recording and looks eerily realistic. The other scenes are actually funny to be honest. They smash a television on a fence’s head. Henry turns to Otis and says “Otis, plug it in” 🤣
