#TheFBIFiles #TrueCrime #TheKKK
Season 1 Episode 6: On June 21, 1964, three civil rights workers disappeared in Mississippi. After they were found lynched in the rural deep South, the hunt began to find their killers. With little evidence other than the bullets left inside the three innocent workers, the FBI had began the task of linking the bullets to the weapon, and later to the killers.
The FBI Files is an American docudrama that takes a look behind the scenes of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime laboratory.
Real FBI cases are recounted through reenactments and interviews, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised.
An update on this. Edgar Ray Killen, AKA The preacher, was convicted of murder for his role in the "Mississippi Burning" murders almost half a century after they happened. He was also the only one that faced his charges because he was the only one still living when the state of Mississippi decided to reopen the case. He died in prison at the age of 92 in 2017.
Akeem A bar exactly 😂😂👌🏾
@@akeemabar8212 only if they had something to do with the murder, right? Otherwise, you and everyone who thinks like you are just as hateful as the preacher.
Ok exactly J.B
As far as I'm concerned they all knew what was going on!! Being silent is just as bad as being the murderer!
I hope that bastard is in HELL.
I've watched the movie a few times. I had my children watch it when they were 10 & 8. I wanted them to learn what happened to Black People in America, it was the first movie of so many more about racism and the justice system. They live on their own now and we still watch informative movies & documentaries, as well as read articles. Our focus is on Indigenous People in Canada the last couple of years and there is so much to learn, which we will continue to do. They might not be purely true; however after the movie we google and see what we can find out and have discussions. I'm so glad I did because true history is still not being taught. I am thrilled we have these discussions.
Thank you for reinforcing truth of America. Mississippi is still abhorrent to change.
civil rights movement was never a walk in the park.
It STILL ISN"T
How very true.
And I thought we could finally make progress when we elected President Obama... I wept with joy over it.
How wrong I was! How angry I am!
WHERE is the Door to Freedom? It's in our hearts. Would that we could open them and show how Bright and Shining it is...
No, of course not. It was characterized by lynchings, beatings with batons by cops, dog bites, being fired from their jobs, house bombings and non admittance to colleges, white food counters, water faucets and no protection by racist cops and the government.
People need to be educated to love instead of Hate
SADLY IT SEEMS IT NEVER WILL BE!!😨
I have so much respect for people who fought back. Knowing that even the police were against them.
@Jason Harris Big difference young man..
Me too!!;)
Police are still against you.
@@libertynotdemocracy9142 You are right , but it says different things about them in the Bible . And its not so good .
@Jason Harris Not to much ,
If anyone thinks evil does not exist they should watch this.
Yeah, but some people blame it on imaginary being.
Or just go online and read the comments of white supremacists. Plenty of them.
Gidget Trevathon i can and he is right. Plenty of keyboard warriors really. It is so pathetic I can only feel sorry for their little brains
Cameron Moore u huh I didn’t ask
Joakim Baba my bad bro. I meant to reply to the guy/girl that thought his/her opinion mattered
These stories show that humanity has an amazing skill not to learn from history. Respect to all those who fought back against evil, even though the odds were definitely against them
If you aren't taught the history in the first place, how can they learn from history. That is why it is important to teach true history in school.
Yet you're probably the same person who complained when LA burned
With everything happening at this very moment in this country, this particular episode means so much more.
Dude what? Absolutely disgraceful for you to make shitty political comparisons to this. These people were lynched
@@MLGPRO-dx8fg And what the hell do you think the racist MAGAts wanted to do on January 6th? Play jump rope with Mike Pence? Shut your stupid mouth.
What u mean the lack of racism in America now? What r u referring too?
@@scottym6680 nah he means the hate and racism that is still occurring as we speak
@@damourwes23 like what? America is probably the least racist most tolerant country.
In Africa they put you in jail for being gay, in Palestine they throw you off a roof. Stop complaining about something that isn’t a big issue.
I think it’s racist that any time an unarmed white person gets shot or a black person commits a hate crime on a white person no one seems to care. I could give you plenty of examples.
This is so diabolical. The fact guilty minded folks want us to forget this history is even more evil and deranged.
@Biggus Dickus No! Whites are dying off and their population is declining!

Killen was tried for murder later and put in prison, he died there, he was a sick old man at the end

My best friend took a job teaching in Mississippi in 1993 because there were no teaching positions open to her where we lived. She went to a job fair and landed a teaching position in Mississippi where she continues to teach to this day. She told me long ago on several occasions that the war is not over and that believe it or not there is still active segregation going on in the small corner of our country where she lives and works. Not the kind of segregation that is illegal, but the silent kind that is unknown to the rest of the country. I believe her. I have been to visit her several times and there is a silent feel of segregation that the rest of the states will never know.
Can you elaborate on what that is?
Segregation is everywhere, open your eyes
That's just sad. I can believe it. Mississippi is still the poorest state in the union, and just recently there's been the story of the contaminated water where the state asked residents to shower with their mouths closed. A corruptly governed, under educated state, and the real losers are those who know what's up with all of it, and I'm sure there are many.
Of course it's still going on but what makes me laugh is when the most prejudiced people children end up having half black kids hahaha THE JOKE IS ON YOU PREJUDICE PEOPLE vs
Actually some of the most segregated cities in the US are in the North, and not in the South. For example, Boston is widely listed as one of the most segregated cities in the entire country.
My dad told me that when he hitchhiked across America in the late 40's & early 50's he witnessed the racism, the unkind brutal treatment that black people received in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia. He hated the South, and vowed that he never wanted to go back there again. And he never did!
Good I’m glad he never came back!!!
Hope your dad will remember: A Southern man don't need him around anyhow. :)
@@09rja that’s right. Get fucking further
Georgia is certainly not like it was than so there's that
Spoken like a true ignorant Southern. I suppose you call yourself a "Christian" too- When I hear stories like this one, I get sick to my stomach. Amazing such EVIL exists among mankind. There is a real nice hot place waiting for you in the end! yippee!!! ENJOY!!!@@09rja
Hate happens to this day, all over the world. It will never go away.
@onebafasian.. Don't exaggerate to nonentity.. Confine to subject matter.. Just another wind bag.
This were u willing victim of of the soul-less KKK.
That's right!!!!
@@wotanraath1443 You're right. It's closed-minded stupidity.
It will only go away when the Second Coming occurs. All evil will be destroyed, and Satan will be bound, and the earth will be cleansed and purified.
Throwing a stick of tnt into the middle of a kkk meeting in red dead redemtion 2 was very satifying, not gonna lie....
I used them as target practice
Excellent. 💣😎
Sick
You can do that 😮. I have the game but never played. I will start tomorrow lol
It was one of my favorite aspects of the game
The 3 civil rights workers displayed so much heart, imagine going to a town that's completely racist.
I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT..🤔
They were heroes
Honestly they were definition of MARTYRS

It’s so freakin sick how much hatred human beings can have against other human beings... God help us to understand that we are ALL HUMAN.. 🙏
@Stephanie P If I were a law enforcement officer, I would stick with non-lethal tactics.
it really sad,we as humans don't realize that we are God's great big family whether we are of different races.
Stephanie P Wise words friend
@@brianessack7671 Unfortunately some humans are psychopaths, the outcome is mans inhumanity to man.
@@saramadison09 yeah, they are the scums of this world
What I found most disturbing about this story is them finding bodies in other places, oops not him. And the narrator saying other false alarms like this happening. Almost like God him or her self sent those men down there to start the cleaning out of this community's closet.
Pity those same men couldn't be there for George Floyd, isn't it?
I was with you, until you brought in the fantasy aspect🤔😉
Those were three brave souls to try and introduce change in that town
Look how it’s no different in 2020!
thoses were myrtyrs of civil rights bill . plz let's keep their memory alive along that of Dr king
@@butterflyray1 At least now, racism and segregation are not legal, perpetrators of "hate crimes" are usually arrested and prosecuted. Don't discount the efforts and sacrifices of all the men and women, both black and white, who have tried to make a difference over the last 60 years. We still have many changes to make but we are NOT where we were in 1964. It's an insult to people like these 3 young men, again, both white and black, who sacrificed everything to try to make things better for everybody.. Their sacrifice can't have been in vain. All 3 of their lives mattered!!!!!
Comming into a community and forcing change on people, Sounds more like BLM and antifa today
@BigDBig: And that's why it's a good thing, too!
My condolences to all those victims 😢
I find it crazy that this story can be told without mentioning Greg Scarpa (mafia member used to go undercover to find out where the bodies were buried). I thought it was common knowledge he helped so why hide it now?
This doc was made over 20 years ago, that part of the story might not have been common knowledge at the time
@@samwindmill8264 stop it
We're not born hating, it's taught. I just don't understand.
You are absolutely right. Hatred is taught at home.
@Renee Tate I think you made a good point there : hatred is sometimes based on fear/insecurity. So if a person is fearful/insecure, there is a greater chance that he will hate other people who cause fear/anxiety in him. Sensitivity/hurt is also part of the basis. Usually those characterisitics are combined in a person. However racial hatred is usually taught at home.
@Renee Tate great points.
Have you ever seen 'South Pacific'? There is a song in there called 'You've got to be taught'. Same sort of thing without the violence.
@@barbarapease9399 I'll check it out, thank you
This one of my favorite black history episodes that's also a true story and sad God rest their souls 🙏🙏🙏
@NorCal OntheRight, amen
Isasiah Bradley lol tff
Renee Jones very pivotal time in the US. This and Emmitt Till. Without this. There wouldn’t be rap music , girls twerking , break dancing , fashion , Yeezy‘s , Kardashians , Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson ..... Comedy , language. Erasing a word from the English dictionary. N word. Obama. ...... I could go on and on. African Americans has change society of America and had such and impact of our time!!! Don’t get it twisted. I’m 46 year old white dude with swag. Im not racist. I’m telling you they are coming up every decade. I see more and more walking with dignity and class and intelligence. Nothing pleases me more. Always gonna have the gutter whites and blacks. But within time. It will all work out. What I’m trying to say. Is that. They are rising above it becoming the better person. Not hating us for what a horrible time older generation of white individuals put them through. Love trumps hate every time. My teenage boy and girl. All whits school maybe 10 blacks out if 3500. I clown on my son for their generation of rap music. Try to get him to feel some Tupac. But he doesn’t like it cause he says the N word too much. Lol. I swear we don’t discuss it. They just grew up not disliking blacks or thinking one way or another about them. So society is speaking.
BLACK HISTORY....WHAT AN GOVT. OXYMORON. IT HURTS ME THAT I ASK MY BLACKS FOLKS ABOUT THEIR HERITAGE, ITS LIKE FAM FROM LOUISIANA,TEXAS,ANY SOUTHERN STATE....AINT NEVER HEARD A NAIR ONE SAY AFRICA...ALIEANATED IN AMERICA...ALIEANATED IF THEY GO TO AFRICA...I BELIEVE MOST BLACK FOLKS ON THIS CONTINENT ARE INDIGENOUS...GULF COAST CUBA CARIBBEAN ETC...I THINK SOME BLACK WERE BROUGHT FROM AFRICA...BUT MOST WERE NATIVE INHABITANTS THAT WERE ENSLAVED ON THEIR OWN LAND AND ROBBED OF THAT KNOWLEDGE AND MEMORY....THATS EXODUS...MOVEMENT OF THE TRUTH....
@Isasiah Bradley u really are crazy 😟 who tf raised u ppl?!
You will reap what you have sown! These murderers will face the Almighty God on judgement day!
Yes they will and so will Obama and Hillary
One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that jesus christ is lord. Viva cristo rey
Jennifer Harvey that is correct, God will for sure judge these murderers, and hopefully harshly ...
The Gods judging them now .
westpoint snell why is this relevant at all? Your broken thinking and anger are clear
In the words of Martin Luther King, "I've seen too much hate to want to hate myself and every time I see it I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. "
So true!
..."jr"...?
Reading this comments thread, you'd think MLK had never existed. Hatred is a 2 way street.
@@michaelfrawley1034 - it's not about having hatred. It's about being tired of people screwing you over and hurting you just because they know you're going to be peaceful and that they can get away with it. And most of the times God is too merciful to allow these evil people to get punished right away on this Earth. I'm more on the side of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers. I've been hurt enough and I have been going through too much shit in my lifetime to keep on turning the other cheek.🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾. If somebody decides to hurt you, then they deserve to be hurt right back.👍🏾👍🏾.
That's why all the black people going through a peaceful March got beaten up by the evil racist cops, but all of the Black Panthers that carried their own guns saying that "we will hurt you back if you decide to hurt us first" didn't receive the same violence from the cops as the peaceful unarmed marchers did.
@@chilledandcool3918 I'm not sure that going through life carrying resentment is the way to a peaceful world, seems more likely to perpetuate the division and prejudice.
Don't Ever LET THEm TELL You THE CIVIL WAR Was ABOUT STATE RIGHTS
It was. A states right to own slaves.
#smashfascism
So they were willing to kill to keep people they didn't care for because they were all racists but we're going to battle to keep them? Hmm...
If only the FBI had gotten involved in the Emmet Till murder.
Back then, they were part of the kkk also
The FBI killed King, why would they care. You had two white kids and a African American missing, those white mothers was not going to stand for their white kids to be killed and no one reacts.
@@arkethiaterrell1315 no king was killed by a racist idiot who needed money.
@@arkethiaterrell1315 who killed Martin Luther King?? Cause his son don't think it was James Earl Ray
@@whitekobebryant2324 Now correct me if I'm wrong but didn't James Earl Ray write a note stating that he wasn't the actual killer before he died of cancer. The note was found in a Bible, in his jail cell
Never delete this video please.
They won’t.
Greg Scarpa of the Columbo crime family is actually the hero in this story. I can’t believe he’s not even mentioned. His FBI handler had him go kidnap this guy in the Klan held a pistol to his head and he made the guy tell him where the body’s were. Look it up, it happened.
There's a great series called The Godfather of Harlem that depicted that very incident. Because the show is based on the gangster Bumpy Johnson and the mob I wanted to see if anything like that ever happen. Sure enough it did, I was so surprised.
@@pgdarling301 I’ve been meaning to watch that show, I heard it’s good. I didn’t even know Greg Scarpa was represented in the Godfather of Harlem. Thats cool they told that story on the show.
Ive heard they occasionally take some liberties with the actual facts but most of the show is true.
Bit the FBI states it was an informant - a Mississippi native - who may have been part of law enforcement in some way who gave them the location of the bodies.
@@user-kb6xn6ig7k Greg Scarpa was a top informant for the FBI for most of the time he was in the Columbo crime family.
@@user-kb6xn6ig7k of course they aren’t gonna admit they hired the mob to do their dirty work lol
It is HEARTBREAKING how the black men women and children were and still are treated.Comevon people we all bleed RED.
What about all the other races?
This story cut right into my Heart. I am near to cry!. Innocent people murdered and some buried alive. 😢😢😢😢
I love the beginning of this. How he basically talks about the winds of change blowing in and from the north. That Northern wind is always very cold. Yet this kind of change should've been a nice breeze. But being Mississippi in '64. Very nice narration is my point. I won't even try to compete.
I have lived in the north my whole life. The north has a long ugly history of racism as well.
@@fletcher373 South is worse and more resistant don't try to deflect

@@marjovalevalerokneitz Mississippi Burning it’s called, filmed in year 1988. Would love to watch it myself, we are so late 🥴
I prefer this format because for me, the movie is too traumatizing.
@@leataylor9277 Even while Mississippi Burning was being filmed IN Mississippi, other than the murders of the three civil rights workers, we knew it was nothing but a work of fiction.
It would be better to look for Murder in Mississippi, with Tom Hulce and Blair Underwood, that was on tv a year later, or even look for Attack on Terror: FBI versus the Ku Klux Klan, from 1976, at least to get more of the story, as well as some idea of how inaccurate Mississippi Burning is.

Burned down "A!?". Church? "A!?" school!? Many churches. What about the hangings?
22:30 22:38
It's not like he wasn't clear.
Thats the thing, they would go wake people up at 3a.m. every single time a church was burned.
Every.
Single.
Time.
"Heya, We banged on your door and woke up your kids who have to go to school tomorrow, did you know that there was a church burned 80 miles away?" or "Excuse me Ms. XYZ, did you know that the club your husband goes to just killed 3 men by hanging?" and I don't know if it was true but they would tell the kids that they thought their dad had murdered someone. Most kids who had been told that murder was a mortal sin (religion is/was big in the south) would find it hard to reconcile their own father being a murderer even though the victims were black.
.
Going after the kids may have been too far, thats closing in on terrorism in its self, but it still stands that they would act on the very edge of harassing to tell these Klan members how much damage they were actually doing. A lot of these guys held doubts about what they had done, or what they knew others had done, so hearing about tens and hundreds of cases just multiplied their doubts. Men who thought burning a church or vandalizing a home was acceptable would be disgusted at hearing about every single murder as it was discovered. Someone who really thought they were protecting their family by following the Klan would very quickly turn informant when they had an FBI agent tell them several times a day that their "friends" killed, beat someone, or burned down houses and churches.
I was born and raised in Michigan but my husband's job transferred to Tennessee. Long story short after we'd been here for awhile one of my husband's friends thought it would be fun to take him to a bridge as wellas a tree where TWO hangings happened that he SAW...to this day I CANNOT STAND the RACIST PRICK!!!
in the end there so still no justice for those boys RIP

The description the narator gave of the unearthing of the bodies brought about high imagery. All this over skin color and the need to feel superior to someone. Who did it benefit???? And a court order to destroy files...wow.
Good post

@@Oliver-hh6hy Wuz dat bothering u dat much? The innernet must make you crazy 😜. 😁😄😁😄
Just like Adolf Hitler.
they were martyrs.
R.i.p 3 brave good man 🙌🤝🙏❤
Very interesting documentary. Thanks for uploading.
In moments of racial tension it is important to remember that the fight for civil rights began decades ago and that the autorities were willing to acknowledge that changes were needed, and in fact, changes are still needed
Don’t forgot to the kkk is still not recognized by the FBI a domestic terrorist organization
What's wrong with this people how can anybody have so much hate
Manuela Rodriguez weak minded. Scared.
Little bitches that got together and felt like men ... too chicken shit to face anyone alone so the my died out once people started fighting back
They try to say it was their heritage. I guess their heritage is hate and racism?
Satan's little children. Hiding under the guise of Christianity.
Racism has always been around its nothing new.
They treated these lovely human beings like they were animals .. "If you prick us do we not all bleed??" We are all the same just have different cultures and skin .. there is only 1 race and that is the human race .. it would seem that evidence had been destroyed accidentally on purpose like my mom used to say. I don't know how it works in certain states in the US but lots of covering up and sentences being changed .. no one was charged with murder and its stinks and corrupt!! Show them the real images of what they did to those lovely people . its so wrong human beings to act this way and they should of been held accountable for what they had done. These were peoples cherished lives and peoples children and families .. its wrong in many ways but i do feel the legal system stinks always have and always will be ..
Great episode
One of the victims; Micky Schwerner was friends with actor James Crowell as they played football together in high school.
My grandparents had to become a mason/eastern star to keep them off their yard in Mississippi. Evil time back then and still is today. The yt man my grandfather worked for didn’t play about my grandparents either. The police ALLOWED so much to happen to black peoples and to this day now
only cowards will cover their faces and hide behind a group to attack innocent people.
THANK YOU!! To The Great FBI Agent
We all need to love one another as christ loved us.
😂😂😂😂😂 Now That's Funny
Tell mexicans that..they hate everybody.
One of the murderers was a pastor
well, heathens don't deserve love if they only can spew hatred.
Things like this happened at Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor, Majdanek, Bergen-Belsen, Buchanwald, Dachau, Mathausen, and Ravensbruk.
Edgar Ray Killen was convicted on the 41st anniversary of the crime and died in prison on Jan 2018. He got to live another 41 years after he took part in these 3 murders. Remember back in the mid-60s, the state of MS wouldn't bring charges and didn't care about investigating or prosecuting these murders. Cecil Price, the deputy sheriff, only got 6 years, serving 4 1/2 and this only for violating their civil rights, not for murder. It would've been good if the MS AG had been able to bring those murder charges in 2001 before Price died. There were so many racist KKK members and sympathizers who could've been brought to trial before they died. I know many of them were old and grey but they deprived many people of their lives so why should they have gotten to live out their golden years in peace.
Who said they lived out their lives in peace? I imagine that the rest of their lives sucked after that incident because it was that incident that defined them.
Thanks
Leaving the dream. What a joke. It still goes on today. My Asian workmate and I from Australia, went into a hotel bar in Alabama. When we walked in, everybody turned and looked, then they all walked out. Then the hotel manager said our rooms were double booked and we had to leave. Our rental car that we had parked outside had been stolen so we were stranded.
The problem for the authorities was that they discovered that we were there to approve a big development that would have made a lot of money for some powerful local people. Back in Raleigh NC, we called a meeting and informed the lawyers for the land owner that we would not proceed with the deal. They lost $75million.
The lack of justice is/was saddening
loliwe moyo And it is still going on today in many respects, unfortunately 😔😔😞.
I lived in Meridian Mississippi and believe me when I say that the clan is still alive and kicking!!!!
I live in laurel and the Klan is alive
Im from Franklin and it's still alive FACTS
Im from Franklin and it's still alive FACTS
The klan never died it just went under the radar and took advantage of the distractions around us. Just as slavery has another name so do they. (Senators,State Reps, Judges,Lawyers,etc)
Its unfortunate.
Ron I'm from Meridian also and that's where I still live... they're definitely some hidden racism this way...especially when it comes to legal proceedings... and I stay on the west side by st. boulevard
I love 💘 the brown 😍 color of my skin.. it's heaven 😍
Ladies keep telling yourselves that lol.
@@bicgohill8756 There’s nothing wrong with someone loving their skin, we all should, besides we didn’t pick our skin color out before being born…please get a life and stop telling someone their skin isn’t beautiful even if you didn’t say it directly
Next year will be the 60th anniversary of the diabolical deed.
Gene Hackman was great in the movie !
Must admit that all of Hackman's movies I've seen have been exceptional.
Terrific actor
I loved him in that movie..every piece!
Scarpa was sent to act like he was buying a TV from a store owned by a Klansman. He got the owner to load the TV in his car out back, and Scarpa and the FBI Kidnapped him, took him to a remote location, and mobster Scarpa tortured him until he gave up the location of the bodies. That's what really happened.
Unethical perhaps, but I don't feel sorry for that Klansman at all. He essentially got a taste of his (and their) own medicine for once, at a time when these violent thugs got away with so much cruelty and terrorism.
Allegedly. The FBI has neither confirmed nor denied that story.
Thankyou for this I thought so , they just haven’t showed it , well done scarpa 👌
It goes to show how crazy this world really is!

GRATE‼️ ya☝️
I saw a lady who said that this was planned in her grandfather's trailer
Seems believable enough
@@all4onw428 she was a Miss America contestant.
Sad
Now we can finish this fight in 2020....We still aren't where we need to be.
Really ???
Where do we need to be?
🙄 With the abundance of opportunities in this country, if you're not where you need to be in 2020...maybe blame yourself. Have some fucking accountability for yourself...ya know, like an adult.
Amen to that sister
@@wotanraath1443 really lol aren't you all everywhere
Good time for this to be recommended
So sad
And wonder why us Mississippi ppl don't trust southern cops
He'll If You are black You shouldn't trust cops No matter what Part of the Union/U.S Your From. Black cops are the worst!
So basically these guys got off easy
Easy like breathing
Damnit, its Longdale not Longwood. It’s next to Popular Springs which is where I was born and raised...
Good job FBI 👍
It was mafia boss Greg "The Grim Reaper" Scarpa who hunted down the animals.
And who won the pony!! The FBI fully entrusted the endeavor since they couldn't do none of that.
When I saw this film as a kid I was terrified, stuck with me so much in my life
It's nice art direction through the documentary. ...
FBI teaching to all over the world for protecting community
It's hard to believe humans can be so inhumane
Believe it, friend
