At 14 I couldn't tell my mama I was leaving the house at 9:30 at nite to go to a friend's house..and I'm grateful for that
It was 6pm we have to get inside from playing at the yard. 6pm. Wash, study/read, then, dinner then off to bed. That' was my routine, even after I turned 19.
I'm grateful for my mother as well.
IKR If I was past my 11 o'clock curfew my dad would be looking for me.Thankyou dad.I thank God for my dad and my mom.

Tamika Watts that tells you what kind a family that is unfortunately
Tamika Watts Countries you should be careful in Because the high rate of crimes sexual crimes and murders according to the human rights organisation : USA Mexico central and South America countries India Russia Philippine Thailand and South Africa
I always find it funny/ironic when a murderer is afraid of the death penalty. They didn't give their victims the luxury of not being killed!
I agree with you.....
Ooh, yes. It's ok to kill us, but not them
Exactly!!
Thats the hidden devil inside , It makes them cry , afraid , because satan now leaves the controlled mind , and they realize thier mistake , but its yo late .
The system does not know this , some will say it was not me , thats true true. But now its insanity . Because courts will not believe they have other entities.
Never ever get into a car or truck with a stranger
As long as you follow the rules of the road, you'll be fine.
Thank you! It’s as simple as don’t touch a hot stove
I even refuse to Uber. I trust no one.
@@gram5963 I take lyfts to work every now and then. The drivers are always cool but if not I have multiple box cutters for work
Rules of the road? You mean those drafted by Ted Bundy.
When the first woman escaped she said he stopped at a brewery to pick up a load. Wouldn't that brewery know the trucking company and that trucking company know who the driver was? This could have all ended right there?
Yep would have been easy to get the complete list of all truckers that pickup that morning.
Selfish stupidity!!!! 👎🏼
Lazy ass cops
Yes
Well, maybe that is how they found him in the first place but the victim would not id him.
Never let murderers and sex offenders out and they can’t do it again
Better yet, execute them all, specially the pedophiles.
Except to each other in custody.
@@rzadan no especially the murderers you idiot
@Alcoon Slambag You can't see bombing Japan solved a huge problem?
@Alcoon Slambag I think your lack of knowledge of history, not to mention reality, proves that you are the idiot.
It still baffles me how so many people continue to hitchhike or pick up hitchhikers in this day and age. RIP to those that weren't able to escape this monster's wrath.
LIS LOVESYA with all due respect, public transit is not widely available throughout the entire world. For instance, there are still isolated areas of Canada and Mexico where public transit doesn’t exist. When you have to go to work or school and you don’t have a car and no one you know does, you may just have no choice but to hitchhike. It’s horrible but it is the reality that some people have to life.
@@jaybrink3103 , alot of rural area's in Texas has no public transportation either, we know and teach our young no hitchhiking ask a friend or someone we know for a ride,PERIOD!
Jay Brink exactly. My son missed the school bus and I was 50 miles away at work. Walking home isn’t an option in these rural parts and I don’t know many ppl here. Thankfully I met a nice lady Lyft driver. We are just getting traffic lights out here 🤦🏽♀️...I see ppl walking out here often. Out here in these woods and with zero street lights and sidewalks. Cruel ppl out here,
It depends on the circumstances. I only hitchhiked once, but I was not alone, there were 4 of us and it was just a couple of miles. Still, risking riding alone with a complete stranger is indeed quite a substantial gamble. Most people won't actually hurt you, but predators are still out there.
I am female and whenever I see another woman/girl hitchhiking, I stop and if her destination isn't farther than 20miles away (which is a lot for Europe), I take her there.
Its a bit concerning how many "unconnected" skeletons they found
Welcome to Houston.
It sure is. Unconnected skeletons is a Texas thing?

I felt really sorry for Ricky-Lee Jones! He was murdered by this creep in a desert, and his family did not even think enough of him to file a missing person's report. Nice family!
and then they closed his case without even trying to solve it as soon as his body was found with a bullet hole in his skull. Just another disposable male.
Yeah, disgusting parents.
Why he has sexual experience with a 14 year old girl who didn’t realize that what she was doing was wrong because of that fact that she was 14 years old he probably was going to continue doing that because anyone would has sex with a 14 year old is a sick son of bitch so I feel like justifying that act because he could have done something like this too some other people
You cannot judge my friend.
The fact that they didn't care says as much about him as it does about them. Even slime can be murdered.
No 14 year old daughter of mine is telling me when she’s coming back home🙄
when you have kids having kids..what you get unruly types
@@JustAThought155 Regina had a history of running away. Sadly, she picked the wrong Tim's to run off with her boyfriend this time. Rhoades murdered her and Ricky Jones. She didn't deserve what Rhoades did to her, none of them did. He wanted Jones out of the way to torture Regina
No matter how inappropriate her conduct might be for her age, nobody deserves to have happen what happened to her, and nobody is at fault but the perpetrator.
You just didn't have rebellious kids going through puberty, crazy combination, huge surges of hormones. I guarantee that you wouldn't have stopped me. I used to run away at 14 and there would be nothing you could've done. I wanted adventures. Ran away 10 times, each time my family found me, I can't even imagine how, since I myself didn't know where i would end up. I'd meet random people and stay with them. Sometimes would end up in some building basements (this was all in st Petersburg , Russia and that's where bad kids would hang out at in the 80s. Drink, smoke, drugs, sex). Other times many miles away, once was put into nationwide search, went to a few diff cities, then in the mountains. How my dad kept finding me baffles me to this day.
But each time they found me, brought me home and in a few months I'd be gone again, with no reason. I had a good loving family, I just wanted out.
@@JustAThought155 I replied there. BS, empty threats. Sounds cool and all but that's about it.
There are kids that can't be controlled, that's what it comes down to. Most parents are lucky to not have to deal with those.
Nobody in the family had seen him for over a year and they'd written him off. Incredibly sad.
So sad.
It's heart wrenching when people give up on you I lived in a tent behind Walmart for 8 months in Houston when my granddad went into the nursing home and I had to get out of our apartment ....I felt like nobody cares about me being there by myself but in truth even strangers care about people
My last night there I woke up at two thirty in the morning with a knife in my side the guy said give me your money and cigarettes he stuck the knife in about a quarter of an inch that scared me so bad I went to Greyhound bus station and left Houston I live with a friend now I've been here for 8 months he treats me like family
@@timezarehardfordreamers4431 I care about you; I care about all lonely, depressed, careworn and downtrodden people, just as my Saviour !
@@barneyronnie thank you that means a lot 💗
I was shocked she was only 14! After 5 mins I get anxious when my 14 yr old Granddaughter runs into the beauty supply store while I wait in the car. I think what if someone has taken her out the back door! Glad to finally find out who she is. Truly a haunting picture.
Absolutely terrifying. Those pictures of Regina are so chilling, I can’t even imagine the hell this sicko put her through. Absolutely deranged 😔
I'm hoping that he received some prison justice from enraged inmates!
@@barneyronnie Are there actually two different killers named Robert Rhoades? I remember the case of Julie Connell. She was killed by a man named Robert Rhoades, too. But this case is not even mentioned in Wikipedia...
@@TheJacksnipe You're a remarkable person for remembering that case. I though there was one, but ... I was plain stoopid!
@@barneyronnie So am I right? The Julie Connell killer had murdered "only" one time before a young boy. But in this video he killed hitchhikers.
@@TheJacksnipe To the best of my knowledge, you are correct.
Regina's last picture will always haunt me.
I really wish they'd not released that pic. Same here. Across the grave that image is haunting.
Nothing will haunt you , Mr Ten
The full photos can be found elsewhere online. They’re eerie. You can really see how scared and desperate she is. Makes you wish you could reach through the photos and save her. 😔
@@EEThom You are right , some people have no heart , They are controlled , to torture , to slaughter , its written in a Jehovah witness book , they dont want people to know .
@@EEThom Sad to say , its true , i have the book . Witnesses know this , they hide it , never listen to them .
He said, she said??? I guess pictures, tools, a screaming, handcuffed lady in his truck WASN'T ENOUGH!!! 😠
@Valincia Pruitt the criminal charges on trial *were only for the woman found in the truck by the trooper* so only the material and proof connected to her case will be allowed to be presented in court, the pictures were from others women, not her, the tools were in his apartment same for the women dress robes that belonged to others victims, all of this cannot be presented in court as proofs for the abduction and imprisonement of the woman in the truck because it’s not connected to her specific case. In addition there was the problem that the woman in the truck, due to the trauma or others not related causes had mental health problems and her report was clear about what happened but at the same time her testimony could be difficult to be believed due to her strange affirmation not regarding the case, the trooper testimony was limited to what he was able to see and know at the moment of the arrest, Rhoades instead was a well experienced psychopath that has previous criminal history (misdemeanors) since high school but was never caught for felonies or stayed in jail long time. He was able to convince their victims that wasn’t dangerous to get a ride on his truck, by one photo of Regina, and the description of others, not mentioned victims escaped, his truck was spotless extremely clean inside the seating area like brand new, and he never revealed his true self before being sure to be safe enough to attack the victims, at first he appeared extremely trustworthy.
Bottom line in a trial the only proof that can be presented are the ones directly related to the case prosecuted. He wasn’t still linked to Regina Kay Walters Ricky Lee Jones, Patricia Candance Walsh Zyzkowski and her husband Douglas Scott Zyzkowski, the last two victims preceded Jones and Walters, but Douglas Scott Zyzkowski was found in El Paso in 1990 and identified in 1992 Patricia Candace Walsh Zyzkowski was found in central Utah in 1990 but identified only in 2003.
Ricky Lee Jones remains were found in 1991 in Lamar County, Mississippi but identified only in 2008.
Rhoades is suspected to have killed an average of 3 women at month, with a total of 50 suspected victims, males or females, all across the USA. The Modus Operandi was gunshot in the back of the head for the males as soon as possible then dump the body and detention of the females for an average of 7-10 days, then the women were killed via garrote.
IKR!!
its never enough. but a woman breathes and she's accused of lying
@@pinkpugginz yeah. I feel sorry for the fact that women are made out to be liars when they're telling the truth, and lying beaches always get believed. It's so messed up.
@@EM.1I was going to say something similar. I was going to say he could have gotten the pictures from a friend, tons of people have tools, and the woman could have been disgruntled or upset with him about something that arose during consensual sex, and the woman could have taken the opportunity knowing a police officer was approaching. Too many what ifs and things that can be explained.
This was a rare case of cops during this time actually taking a female victim at her word and not being dismissive and judgemental of her lifestyle.
I agree, the case of Gabby Petito comes to mind; an eye witness called police to report a man attacking a female and hity8ng her, closed fist. Cops didn't arrest him and it costed her her life and the killer's life also as he committed suicide a month later
It’s all about what they can prove...
@@daryldixon3685impossible to explain to a useful idiot. they complain the police have too much power - and then complain when the police dont arrest people even if there isnt evidence

@@lonewolf277 The amount of money you have is irrelevant, the amount of abuse you have gotten is also irrelevant. Your safety is your own responsibility, unless you are mentally challenged or a child. If you hitchhike, you have to expect something bad to happen.

@@filianablanxart8305 Still... his family didn't care. very sad.
What I don't get is although this crime happened quite some time ago, by now they should have had an update using the dental DNA (tooth pulp, not x-rays) to compare to family members, from the skull that was found.
@AL Cats For sure, I understand that. But it's like they didn't even mention it. I saw another episode where they got DNA from a skull using a sterilized drill to pull plugs out of it. I wonder just how many unidentified skulls are lying around evidence rooms across the country...
@@filianablanxart8305 You wouldnt care if your 18 year old brother, son, etc disappeared?? Even try to report at least?
It still haunts me since the first day I saw Regina's last photos. Those pictures still flashes through my head from time to time. I can't even imagine what she must have gone through at that moment.
I know what you mean.
Absolutely sickening and not easy to forget.
i couldn't sleep for a while seeing these photos, truly haunting.
have you heard of leonard lake and charles ng? they actually filmed themselves raping/killing women in their torture dungeon. a few of the videos are even on YT but censored.
I think she looks hot in those photos. If she didn't want it in the first place she would have never got into the truck. Some women like it kinky.

Moral of the story is, as a parent, you DON'T let your 14 year old child tell you what they're doing.

Why does serial killers always get a plea, you have the death penalty…..use it.
money, pure & simple.....they don't want to be bothered with a trial....or risk a stupid juror hang the whole thing up..They want him in prison....no risk of his getting off. Usually they also want more info out of him. To solve other missing person cases.
Because the system is confused . The bible say the law , aint none justified in its sight , judges take bribery's , justice is not served .
If it was my child I would want to know where they were for closure. But I feel serial killers who do torturous acts in another human being especially children do not need to walking around this earth. Period... Cases like this they will never change because they get pleasure from their crimes they inflict ..
The only problem with receiving a death penalty, is the convict dies of old age before it is carried out!!!

He then committed suicide at a local park, of which was no more than two blocks from my grandparents house at the time.

However I totally understand your thoughts
Damn how many small human remains are strewn about the country
That's a good question. How many times have we used a garbage can and it have remains in it?

I HAVE to pause for a moment to say how amazing these actors and actresses are on this show!
If that rancher had burned that barn before he found the remains , when he found what was left after the fire , he would have thought he killed someone.
hahahaha thats funny as hell
@@hotbam37 id of thought there wouldn't be much left with all that hay and rafters coming down etc.
Is it normal to burn down the barn? In my country it would be considered arson (possible charge with public endangerment, spreading fire, etc.). Standard procedure is to knock it down or hire a company to disassemble it.
@@lr5037 no, only for insurance purposes. The farmer found recent faeces and contacted the police
@@lr5037 , it depends on what part of the country you are located. In rural areas on large properties you have a lot more freedom to do as you see fit. You’re still responsible for the outcome though.

For real! When I was 14 I had to physically fight my mother or outrun my mother to leave whenever I was going out late.

The picture of that girl Regina Walters is among the most haunting photographs on the planet. Because we know, as she knew... her fate was going to be awful. We know now that the human pile of trash, Robert Rhoades taunted her, forcibly chopped her hair off, made her wear some creepy dress, and told her she was going to die... It's just horrendous. I believe torture should be used in criminal cases where we know with incontrovertible evidence a man is guilty of a crime with extreme cruelty. Eye for an eye. It doesn't have to be violent torture... but he should be put in a cell and given water and just forced to slowly starve to death... people like that should be placed in their own future tomb--alive--forced to spend their remaining life thinking of what a shit bag they were.
That poor poor child. I'm haunted by the thoughts of Regina crying for, and begging for, her mother. What a terrifying horrible death...and then to taunt her parents with phone calls of the torture he inflicted upon her before the killing. There is no god but surely there are devils everywhere on this planet.
Immurement was a common practice in medieval times. Sounds perfect for some of these pieces of shit
Imagine having to do the torturing how awful
@@gracefullikeagazelle For there to be a Devil there has to be a Christian/Jewish God.

Note to self: Keep the kids FAR AWAY from Pasadena Texas
Maybe teach your kids some norms of not communicating with strangers? Carry self defense tools on them(like a pepper spray) and a panic button. Plus aditionally dont let them out in the middle of the fucking night. It has nothing to do with the state, as he picked up his victims in other places and states. Kids are just out of touch from reality rn, as they seem that the world is safer now - it is not. Educate and protect your children.

I swear, cops and detectives don’t get enough props. They’re the real heroes. Without them this sick trucker would still be doing this crap.
Lately, though, cops are enjoying killing sick or mentally ill people. Also, they'll lie to make a case, as in my phony police report. They are just people like us, and so a certain percentage of them are sick, twisted psychopaths. Just like me; I'm a highly educated mathematical physicist (PhD) --- so what. Being a human being, I could conceivably be a bad apple, meaning a psychopath. Same with whatever profession you consider. The Golden State killer was definitely a hard-core psychopath.
some mostly detectives
It’s become publicly acceptable to trash on police and it makes me sick... I know their are bad cops out there but the majority are good people doing the best they can to help their community they work long hours and receive little pay. They don’t get enough credit!
@@daryldixon3685 The problem is they don't come with badges saying they're a good cop 🤷
My dad was falsely arrested and ended up in the hospital for 2 days because they messed up his back (he had surgery years prior) I'm sure that cop thought he was a good cop. (And yes, charges against my dad were dropped because they literally got the actual guys name wrong)
I don't know why people continue to hitchhike when there are lots of monsters out there.
Martha Defabachew well, let’s see...sometimes their homes contain rapists, pedofiles and physical abusive sadists where the parents male/females join in! Sometimes even siblings taking sexual advantage, or relatives and friends of the family! Tortures of all kinds! Jeez why would anyone want to leave?
To save money.
To she the driver up with a false rape charge if.they don't give em $xx
To solisic as a prostitue.
To kill and steal car...ie; Miss Worose.
To get home
Martha Defabachew greyhound raised their fares
This was back in 1990 a lot of people hitchhiked back then
Why people drive cars when there are so many car accidents. Same logic.

I’m not sure why but Regina’s eyes just haunts me. The pupils are just pitch dark and there’s no light being reflective off of it. The rest of the photo looks normal but the eyes just seem lifeless.

Sad that the 14 years old lost her life but it's stories like this that makes me grateful that I wasn't rebellious growing up because this world is full of psychopaths and I can't imagine putting my family through horrible and stressful times where they don't know where I am.
She wasn't rebellious. She ran off with her 18 year old boyfriend, which is already a red flag. She was victimized twice. Don't blame her.

Edel Quinn she was young and traumatized to the point that she just wanted to be distanced from the whole situation. At that point in time she probably wasn’t capable of thinking of future victims. Almost can’t say I blame her although she could have prevented more misery. That’s my guess, anyway.

Juggernaut Productions 😂😂😂
Oh yeah ?? ...what was he , just starring at people ? ...did he say anything to you ? ...that girl had to see her boyfriend slaughtered ...tragic ...
@Ja A ...i don't think so ...are you mistaken with 1997 movie breakdown ? ...where the trucker abducts kurt russell's wife for ransom ..

@@sdmsdm7926 he was ok. He wasn't a hitchhiking female.
This story is absolutely scary and chilling rest in peace to all the victims
Geez a lot of bodies of small girls found in Pasadena! They shrug it off like ‘oh yeah business as usual’
This is the best example why the death penalty should be available on a case by case basis. 14 years old is a child and this one was taunted, abused in unspeakable ways and murdered brutally. Not to mention the other victims who had no choice in how their lives ended. Unless they truly can't separate right and wrong because of a mental disability they deserve what they get. They no the consequences and still choose to do it. The fact he wasn't executed for his murders is crazy. I can't imagine what her parents must have felt once they learned the circumstances of their little girls death.
The last victim picture was hauntingly terrifying.
Regina had to be thinking during this ordeal .." My homelife wasn't so bad after all " ....she was just a rebellious , stupid kid (we all were at 14 or 15) ...r.i.p.
.
@Nightbot ...yes ..i wonder exactly how long did he keep her ? ...she had to of seen her boyfriend murdered ...so tragic.
@AmericanRelic2hear ...yeah ...from what i read and watched , her mother was passive in her parental skills . she pretty much let that wayward girl do what she wanted unfortunately . tragic.
What a horrible thing to even comment.
If they knew she had escaped while he was signing for a load at a brewery then why didn't they just go all the local breweries which I can't see there being more then a dozen at the most and get the names of all the drivers who recently picked up a load?
Apparently they were some brainless detective's... defectives more like it. That's horrible ☹️
Also wondered about that. I mean you don't have to be some genius sherlock holmes detective to come up with that. That's just the most basic police work...
There could be a few intermittent stops before the beer gets to where it has to go.
@@mathewkromeo2934 She specifcally said she escaped while he was making the beer pickup at the brewery though so that's on the officers involved for not checking the local breweries in the area to see what trucks recently made pickup's or deliveries to.
No. That would not work. It's not that simple. The detectives know how freight is shipped and therefore didn't waste their time.
Why did Regina's father wait for the police to come to him?. Why did he not go to the police with information about the anonymous call
Gotta tell ya...I found the fact so many OTHER young corpses were popping up even more disturbing. "Nah not her. That's some other decomposing corpse of a young lady by the side of the road."
That's reality. There are thousands of them across the country. This is Nothing
8 billion people walk this earth, there a bound to be millions of skeletons just lying around in forests, countrysides, and even a few dozen metres away from the highway. It’s only increasing, and there’s no real way of preventing or decreasing it
wow, so the family wrote ricky off and left it at that.
cold family
Some are just bad seeds.
He could have given them years of shit and they just thought “Fuck it, get out”.
He's only 18. If they are writing him off at that age. He was likely written off way before then.
When the highway patrolman left the girl helplessly handcuffed inside the sleeper cab it looked like the set up to a horror movie scene when the killer overcomes the officer and comes back to finish the job. 😱
Life as a police officer before the internet
They did so well !
A few bad actors does not make all police officers villains. And look at the crazies they have to deal with you have to give them some leniency for their aggressive natur.
Brave Internet comment warrior!
I know these are just recreations but the thought of the police picking up the skeleton of a poor young girl being put in a body bag is heartbreaking.
Agree
The re enactment shows them doing it with respect.
Unfortunately I've put many young people in bodybags
@@deweycuffley6361 hi how are you Mr. Ted Bundy
I am sorry Regina was killed but good parents don't let there kids just leave and come back whenever the hell they feel like it
P.S., the last lady they show in the truck as unidentified, is actually alive. She saw herself a couple ( ?? ) years back and cleared herself from the list.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE!!!!!
Thank goodness for those boys who found what they had , that they done the right thing tell their parents .
Damn how many dead young kids where in texas during the 90s.
Lots
One million at least
A whole lot. Disgusting. Several serial killers working texas at that time.
Too many to count
Ikr. Can you imagine how many are there now then ?
It's sad how many Barney Phife types never listened to victims because they were too lazy to do their jobs.
Thank God that officer had his wits about him the night they captured the killer.
hats off to the detectives.
That last photo of Regina is absolutely heartbreaking. I cry every time I see it.
I can't believe that they ever let that monster out of jail. Our criminal justice system is so screwed up.
In this instance, vigilante justice is ok by me. I would love to go all Jessica Jones on this pos.
They let him out of jail?
Me too
He never got out of jail but yes I agree
@@killdalamb3357 Are there actually two different killers named Robert Rhoades? I remember the case of Julie Connell. She was killed by a man named Robert Rhoades, too, who had tortured and killed a young boy before. But the man this video is about killed hitchhikers.
@@TheJacksnipe Hmm I’m not sure l. I’ve never heard of that case. Maybe that’s why she got mixed up.
This is one of hundreds case that give me goosebumps until now, I could never imagine this happen to someone close to me, if I have a daughter one day and done the same thing like what happen to Regina Walters, it would destroy me.
Damn how many bodies are just laying around in this damn town?? And they all acting like is all cool is so weird!!!

He being doing this for 15 years that’s so scary and he almost got released
I find the weirdest part is on accident they found two sets of human remains of small or young people and they never reveal who they are. I mean there's just dead people all over the place?? That is creepy as hell that they never even let us know the answers to those victims they're just as important as Regina or anybody else
Maybe because they weren't connected to Rhodes?
its not weird at all, u must be new to the true crime community, in missing persons investigation, random dead, unidentified bodies always pop up somewher.
they might not be all murder cases, accidents happen too, suicide too, there's new bodies flowing in most rivers all the time, kids gettin drunk and slipped, etc. its very easy to get head injury and more severe damages, human brain r very fragile.
@@marjattakolari521 new? I've been watching trials before u were born. Back when media wasn't allowed in, only got sketches of judge, lawyers, witnesses, etc. Bundy was 1st trial I've watched. Am in several true crime "communities" because y'all have instant internet, and don't have to read a paper, and if ur lucky, and didn't live in same state, may never hear about 10% of what's going on in just the USA. So....no. I'm not new. Just disturbed that so many bodies are all over the place, and never get closure. That's why I NEVER watch cold cases or never solved missing or dead etc....cannot handle the not knowing.
Wow, I just finished watching this video and I have to say it was incredibly enjoyable! The way the creator presented the information was engaging and easy to follow, and the visuals and graphics really brought everything to life. I learned so much and was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire video. Can't wait to see more content like this in the future!
This is not a CZcams channel this is a TV show that ran from the early 90’s to the early 2000’s called FBI files. I’m 22 so this was a big part of my childhood growing up I loved this show.
Lessons Learned: Don't hitchiked & more importantly don't runnaway..., parents can be dissapointing sometimes, but in anything whom can u turn to...? to Parents(always)
Unfortunately not always. So many broken homes.
@@albataalbata1380 that's so sad.
Some kids are unsafe though and they run away out of nessecity. Its very hard to withstand living in an abusive/neglectful home.
Stay in school
We dont know what is going on behind some one else door....
Thanks for uploading these videos. I really enjoy watching The FBI Files.
Some of The Killers are still walking the streets of America
Remain calm while I am tied down and can't run.Bodies strewn along the roads,Jesus.Let us pray.We don't know what other monsters are out there.No hitchhiking.It is not safe.
This guy has always been one of the most sadistic and evil serial killers as far as I'm concerned.

What is with all the bodies they keep finding of children... they skipped over those pretty fast. Oh, thank God it's not her. Yeah, but it WAS someone!
My thoughts exactly!
I wanted to know who they were and who killed them. Poor families 😔
Another episode
what part did they say that?
The criminal made a mistake which was her good fortune. The patrolman was lucky too.
A
Absolutely shocking to pull up with police and still be scared as hell to identify the offender...The pure evilness in his face when he looked at her (as if to say) yeah the Calvary here but I dare you 🤮🤮🤮😢😧
Weird how he hadn't even had a look in the truck
Nah...I would’ve pointed my finger right at his ass
@@spitfirestake54 right me too. Could have saved some lives
Phenomenal India Burns it was a re-enactment lol
She's inherently selfish.
It's very scary to know that it does happen,its worst when you find out it's someone you know that was hitchhiking . I feel for the parents that it happens to .
Sadly Jim "Nu Yawk awfice" Kallstrom died on July 3, 2021. 78 years old.
Rest in peace, Jim! Thanks for being a legend! We'll always remember you.

We always always watch him and he has taught us so very very much. Great guy, great beautiful, kind gentle man
@@richardbird4093
Beautiful comment. Thank you. ❤️ Greetings from Germany
Seeing these docs, I think I'm very very lucky not to have encountered any of these maniacs, as I was a very libertine girl. At 18 I flew to from Europe to New York and had almost a year of crossing the States, sometimes by Greyhound but mostly hitchhiking, many times I got high with strangers and shared motel rooms and sometimes months passed between phone calls to my parents. I suppose they were very worried about me, but I couldn't care less... I felt free! Now I think I was really lucky that nothing happened to me...
wow..
@@teejames5098 RIGHT??? 😜

Damn! What a trip that must have been! I don't know whether to envy you your free-spirit, or to be appalled at it! 🤔If I were your parents, though...it's a wonder they aren't dead from the stress!
@@fuzzamajumula yeah, right??? But then I totally made up for my behaviour, I got to my senses, went home and thanked my guardian angel!!!
Anybody else get a really anxious and kinda angry feeling whenever investigations like this find human remains at first that upon first glance, are extremely promising, and are 100% the victim, only to find they don’t belong to the victim at all? Like, Jesus. That’s sad finding one or MORE sets of human remains that fit a victims description, only to find there’s another family out there they now need to notify. Also, why did they not just put this bastard down? Sons of bitches like him shouldn’t be given any deals. Wasting my tax dollars to keep him alive. Thanks government.
After the sentencing they should be led out of the court room and executed immeadialty
@@camrose306 But what if someone was wrongfully convicted? You should take that into account. Stop wishing bad on others, karma will come back to you.
Our prayers to those victims and parents. Thanks FBI FOR CATCHING THIS EVIL MAN!
This is a lesson for teenagers, young adults who do not appreciate the loving, safe home of their parents.
Ok boomer
Imagine just imagine if an FBI or forensic guy is a killer yikes .
He would be able to cover up easy and would be able to use the police data base to target certain people
Im sure its happened...cops have been those things and been convicted
..so its not TOO far of a stretch to believe it could happen
Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector
heard of the golden state killer?
yes there's fbi agents being convicted of murder in the past, sure it happens way more frequent for local cops

This is exactly why us parents do not let our kids out at night
Did he say 998 found bodies matching that age???😱 how many kids go missing omg
It is still happening for other reasons i.e. for sacrificing, trafficking, etc.
800,000 kids on average go missing every year in the United States. That's just the one's reported as missing. Crazy but true.

Trooper: ma'am are you ok
Me: WTF kind of question is that?
Trooper: Maam you're gonna have to stay this way for a while till we investigate the scene
Me: WTF????
i knowwwww
Though that officer saved her life I cant BELIEVE he would allow her to remain that vulnerable and unable to defend her self if her attacker came back. Wtf.
And to top it off he didn't cuff the serial killer right and maybe could of killed both of them as he stated.
O
@@mcali-reviews5585 Nowhere, is there evidence that he did not cuff the suspect right? He cuff to the suspect behind the back. And seat-belted him in many a Time suspects can work their way the Cuffs to the front of them. We don't know what happened in the time. He was away checking on the girl to the time he got back to the car, but I highly doubt it was because he kept him wrong.
Did Ricky have a family? No one ever reported him missing?
The show said the family had written him off as a bad seed.
amsterdamsel - but I'm wondering why they didn't give some DNA so that could be tested to determine whether the skeleton was Ricky's (as the police assumed it was). Also why did the family not report him missing after such a long time?
@@Jackmack365 He was on probation and had troubles in the past so they weren't worried. They figured he kept committing crimes and ended up in a prison somewhere. The family wrote him off. In other words poor Ricky had a shitty family.
He was 18yo .
Despite him not being the killer, why did it take the police a yr to visit his last known address? Wtf
I was in an Illinois courtroom once with this PIG.. If I could have gotten a bit closer I would have "cured" him from being an evil bastard and went on to jail. I was escorted out.
Excellent, thank you very much
Lack of known source for Ricky Lee Jones for DNA?! They spoke to his sister!! She said that the family had written him off etc. That boy deserved a proper burial with his name on the headstone! 44:25
Did I see white plastic spoons in his torture kit? I can't imagine what those would be used for and it's almost creepier than the actual torture tools.
Those were from his victims take out orders.just trophies.
I had read a story in GQ magazine written by a woman who had been picked up by this criminal Rhoades. He picked her up as a hitcher, and she narrowly escaped. She had finally many years later become a writer and she traveled to prison to interview him. He denied everything, but she knew of his guilt and did not really expect him to come clean, as it were. It really makes one wonder how many could possibly be out there, unknown to the authorities, as they prey on runaways, prostitutes and similar victims who are not as apt to be high priority, at least in theory if not in practice.
If she only told them it was him 😭😭
She couldn’t predict the future any more than the police could. Hind sight is 20/20. People criticising the poor girl have the benefit of sitting comfortably at home and knowing all the facts.
I would never ever be hitchhiking no matter what for I definitely know that it's not safe to do .
Smart girl. Even the stupid but lucky girls will agree with you. The unlucky ones like Regina....
@@neptunedawn7121 there have been many times ⏲️when I was taking care of business meaning paying bills that were necessary. Usually my transportation was by walking,riding the fixed route shuttle bus 🚌. To where I had to go next. These guys in a van ,trucks would come by asking me if I needed a ride. I sure really truly honestly did tell them 👎. I sure really truly honestly didn't feel comfortable with them just by the way they looked. Inside I felt very scared, I even felt that they would do harm to me. I was going about my business,I sure really truly honestly wasn't looking for trouble. I sure really truly honestly don't drive a vehicle of any kind reason being I can't afford it.
