maybe shes in the walls of the building they were going to seize...
Lo
Best voice ever!
Thank YOU đ
Give all of your data and personal/payment information to this third-party so they can remove all your data from the internet. Lol đ
To the narrator: You are phenomenal. Your voice is excellent and stories are articulated so perfectly. Better than anything Iâve ever seen on TV. I wish you could be making lots of money for your professionalism and you will. Someone is going to recognize your skills and youâre going to take off. Until then thank you for the pleasure of watching your so fantastic episodes. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Thanks so much!đ€
Yes and thank you for keeping the style of writing very simple and straightforward, so many try to over complicate their narration with over the top vocabulary and sentence structure that it's exhausting to watch
i agree
I was gonna type a long complicated paragraph but than I saw this and just had to agree! Bravo to everyone involved in these professionally done very very awesome videos !
100% agree. I actually just watched a TV show about this case and got confused with details because TV shows make it more complicated than it needs to be.
This needs to be made into a movie, its utterly insane the amount of detail and complexity this guy went into to commit this hate filled bitter crime... RIP Annie.
My mother is 110 lbs and 5â4â. If you brush by her wrong she bruises and her skin tears. I just canât imagine how anyone could treat an elder this way. Itâs so sad that they never found her body. That poor dear.
Age spots?? I have age spots and if you hit something. They do bleed. Blood thinner and aspirin are most vernibal.
@@judybrown1810 Skin tears are very common in the elderly. Itâs a completely normal side effect of ageing.
My mom has cardiomyopathy, COPD and arthritis as well as a slew of other conditions, her skin has gotten like this the past 5-8 years, Real thin skin, big blood spots and just holding my infant daughter tears the skin in her arms and it looks so so so bad, barely a scratch makes it look like sheâs been sliced with a knife or fallen down the stairs, her legs are like it also but not quite as bad as her arms. Iâm pretty sure medications take part in why, but I remember my grandmother (maternal) having the same issues. It breaks my heart to see
Wow sweetie, thanks for sharing that!! Take care of yourself and mom as best you can?? đđŸđčđđŸ
Breaks my heart that anyone could do such things to the most vulnerable in our community. I used to love true crime, but I've stopped being able to watch when there's elderly people, children or animals involved . I mean, it's ALL awful, but cases involving any of those 3 groups, just particularly affect me for some reason.
It's not unusual for someone who commits a horrendous crime to refuse to admit to it and not reveal where the body of the victim is. The family never has the peace of properly laying their loved one to rest, of saying a final goodbye.
I'm guessing poor Annie suffered and died from lack of medication, and Winn just let her die rather than risk being caught. And of course he eventually _was_ caught. What an evil, pathetic man, to do something like that to such a kind woman.
Well... greedy, rich people sometimes pay too
â@Lorraine Kasprzak That's a word salad of bs.
@Lorraine Kasprzak đ€
@Lorraine Kasprzak you know that ending a sentence with the word 'truth' doesn't add any more validity to it than ending it with 'cheese?' Wish religious people would quit spreading their dogma on videos like this.
@@leeriches8841 sadly sin is real.
Ilietis is inflammation of the gut, and it's usually caused by Crohn's disease. Just in case you were, like me, curious.
Totally! Thank you!
Thank you.
Thank you
What an absolutely heartbreaking case. I couldnât even imagine not being able to ever find my mother again.. that poor family. How unbelievably tragic. Wonderfully told, as usual:)đâš
This is the first time Iâve seen you with a sponsor which normally I sigh over but I have to say you so so so deserve it â€
Think theyâve got a few others too, Iâve definitely seen them advertising other stuff in other vids but youâre right they definitely deserve it. I love how they portray and narrate each case â€ïž
Her husband died of a broken heart. Iâm so sorry for the son that didnât get to bury his mama.
And daughter
Her husband died from being 73 years old. Nothing sad about that.
@@Erebus.666. LOL u weird
@@Erebus.666.My beloved Mom will be 70 in just a few weeks. She is my everything. When she dies, I do not want to go on living. I donât want to exist in this world without her. To act so glib, ignorant, and insensitive, is so gross. A person doesnât lose value when they grow older. My Grandma lived to be 99 years old, and she was a blessing to this world.
Hug her every chance you have! Mom was my bestie & life isn't the same since her passing. Many wishes for mom to have a long, healthy future.
This is so sad. Just because someone didn't want to EVER take responsibility for their own actions, and decided that revenge and murder was the way to go. That's evil.
When you say they didnt want to EVER take responsibility for their own actions I assume you're talking about the fact that 12 franchisees were being sued by MR Hearin for 100s of thousands when he bought the business and decided to "streamline" the business to make it more profitable? What do you about the it ? I'd love to know what happened to that company after Mr Hearin bouth it just to add more money to his millions.
@@Marie.b No one forced any of them to murder someone.
Poor lady. Peopleâve been killed for much less as well, unfortunately.
That is how narcissist think. No responsibility whatever, but revenge wrongfully.
@@Marie.b itâs called busyness. he was doing his job. those franchises were up to sale and he bought them. itâs easy to blabble if itâs not your money. if it was you, you would have done exactly same in busyness world. thatâs how laws and regulations are made. just because he had millions doesnât mean he has to dish out to failing busyness owners. illogical
I had not heard of this case it was tragic the poor woman still missing, anyway thank you I enjoyed the story.
I first heard of this disappearance when it aired as a segment on Unsolved Mysteries about 35 years ago or more.
Only half way through but this is already making me so sad. Poor lady. Canât imagine.
When you're rich, all the agencies get to work immediately, when you're poor they tell you to wait 72 hours......
i know right esp with children who are probibly of been killed with the first 24-48 hours and yet they tell you to wait
This is a fashionable "internet truth". One person says it and others think it looks like a hip opinion, so they go around repeating it uncritically.
Money đ° Talks!!!
I agree with you, although I think that any situation involving an elderly person and a âransom â or letter of demand, would elicit a rapid response regardless of what the socioeconomic situation happens to be.
BUT, in other situations where people go missing, yes, they respond differently.

Wow I'm three mins in. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. You truly do an excellent job telling these horrific stories with profound insight and facts that aren't drawn out & to much commentary.
I never heard of this story & I know it'll be heartbreaking but interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this video.
God bless đđđ»đâ€â€
WHY kidnap an innocent old lady with health problems who had nothing to do with her husband's business???
Why are dumb questions asked?
He did it to blackmail her husband.
@@herbthompson8937 why do people like you ask a dumb question to answer a question đ€
Two words: PAIN & SUFFERING.
Thats what he wanted to inflict.
@@MsAliemm đ
That's so so sad that she's STILL missing to this day! That's got to be agony for her still living family members. I pray for peace over their hearts.
I'm afraid she died fairly early into the situation. I dont think he accounted for her illnesse and her need for her medication or accidentally left the meds behind in the scuffle. I then believe she passed away because she did not get those meds. After she passed away I think he panicked , did away with her body, and tried to make it work without her but it didn't go too well. I don't see him as a cold blooded killer. However,I do see him as an incompetent kidnapper who tried to cover all his bases but never even thougt of the biggest component of all: her ill health.
Heâs a psychopath
@ Truly Criminal,you have one of the best voice and background sound of all crimeshows.
Another story I've never heard, well done, you put in work đŻđŻđ€
This was so well done. Thanks for bringing this case to light for those of us who were unaware of her story. It's truly sad that the kidnapper felt the need to do whatever they had, despite the families full intentions to comply. A truly horrific and cowardice act by whoever did this. It does seem to have been Winn.
I am from Rochester NY and have a few stories you may be interested in.
kali poulton, a 5 year old who was kidnapped and murdered in the early 90s. She was a Family friend of mine whos father grew up with my mother. Was such a big deal in my city and her body wasnt found for 5 years after she went missing. They blamed the dad but it ended up being a neighbor who should of already been in prison, because YEARS prior he had bludgeoned an elderly woman to death with a hammer!
another one of a guy named WILLIAM SPANGLER
who killed his sister, lit the house on fire, when fire dept and PD came he sniped as many of them as possible before taking his own life. the girl who got him the gun use to sleep over my house during high school! her name is Dawn and she just finally got out of prison for it.
You got part of your comment wrong it was William who was in prison for murdering an elderly woman with the hanmer, if i remember correctly that woman was his grandmother
Another fantastically narrated true crime
I remember when they aired this case on the original Unsolved Mysteries back when I was a child... :(
I love when this channel uploads on a SaturdayâŠ
I worked in Deland and lived in Saint Petersburg. Random. Deland is a sleepy town close to the east coast and saint petersburg is way on the west coast. crazy the lengths to which humans will go. I wonder if the FBI would dedicate this amount of man power today? how do they pick and choose. Feels like the FBI of the 90s and todays FBI are probably very much different. These days they seem more politically driven. sad
I myself live just north of DeLand, & visit fairly often. So I too was wow how close they finally nailed this scumbag. I'm pretty sure her husband's massive wealth played a huge part in getting so much FBI resources on this case. No other explanation for that really. I mean, the man finally coughs up & mailed out nearly a million dollars in checks to what could've been a dead end to nowhere. I imagine the fact his shrewdness as a business man likely led to his wife's fate surely riddled him w/guilt to his early death. Just really sad all around.
DeLand still has more character than many larger cities & quite a storied history, but a sleepy town sadly no more.. Certainly not Orlando, but damn sure not a Mayberry. The police dept stays very busy unfortunately. Traffic is pretty bad anytime it''s daylight. The usual, only those.greatly benefiting from would dare call "progress". Mainly builders & those collecting permit fees to foot the exorbitant city govt salaries. All the clearing of what has to be the last large tract of oak forest complete w/rolling hills on the north side to build residences is sadly a prime example. Many locals objected but they still approved it.
This isby far the BEST crime channel on CZcams. Thank you guys so much for your hard work and dedication. Your videos are my favorite đ
Dave's Lemonade is a really good true crime channel too if you're interested.
This is soooo very sad....I hope&pray Annie Laurie didn't suffer too terribly long. đą How awful that she has never been found. đ I feel so very badly for the family too...sending them much love. đ
WOW! Another great upload. Wasnât expecting this one so soon following yesterdayâs video.
Thanks Again!
So very sad. I feel awful for her husband and children. đ„șđ
Crazy they nailed him in DeLand, FL. I live just 20 min north & visit there often.
I can only imagine the anger & pain of having a loved one kidnapped, never finding or knowing what happened to her. It clearly broke her husband's heart & caused his early death.
To do this to an elderly woman that had absolutely NOTHING to do w/any of this beef takes the most heartless of scumbags.
It truly sucks they never found enough to convict him of what became of her, but his smirks at sentencing says it all. He knew he'd just gotten away w/what he most feared being punished for. Murder. Regardless his motivations to deny her children what became of their mother or where she is, there's a specific place in hell for evil like him & it's not pretty.
It is crazy he was in Deland. Iâm in Daytona:)
My heart broke for her husband, and children. Not finding her, is excruciating. May this beautiful couple rest in peace together.
Great work, as always. Thank you for covering this case.
Great case. Somewhat different than what you usually post. I love that you're expanding your repertoire ~Keep up the good work! You're deserving of the quick rise in subsđ.
What a fascinating case. I've never heard of it before. Thank you for making such an excellent documentary, and bringing it to my attention.
You are the best narrator on the web. The sound of your voice is perfect and the videos are put together perfectly. Keep up the good work and thank you for being amazing.
I always found it very respectable that half of the people who received the checks chose to return or not cash them. Iâd like to think Iâd do the same but it sounds like a good deal of money and with inflation where it is Iâm not entirely certain I would. Either way I imagine it meant something during a very difficult time for the husband and family as it is in effect blood money
And possibly perceived as a sign of guilt if they kept the checks...
If you cash the cheque your gaining from a kidnapping & murder?
No matter how much I needed the money, couldnât/wouldnât keep it!!
Karma!!
Another amazing job presenting this case. I found your channel about a month ago and have watched dozens of them now. YOUâRE AMAZING!
As for this case, so heartbreaking that this woman was never found. I always hold hope that they will be discovered before the end. I hope one day she is found and can finally be laid to rest with her husband.
Brilliant work!!! Well done. You guys deserve big success!
So happy with your channel. You two have the best voices and the editing is amazing. Every week I wait like a child for a new video! Keep up the good work girls đđđ Lots of love from the Netherlands
thank you for upload in week-ends ;) job well done in this channel!!!
Wow, what a crazy story! Great job covering it.
Wonderful job, as always.
I came across this account a few weeks ago and my god am I glad I did im obsessed đu narrate this amazingly the dedication u put in to these videos shows massively! thank you so much for all your hard work!! â€
That weird creep! Canât believe he done that poor lady like that. And no real justice got served.
Excellent video as always. Thanks for sharing.
You are the only page I will listen through the ads. Love you this much xox
Truly a lovely voice and your narrating very nice all clear and well explained â€
I donât let my grandma go off at the stores alone or go for walk around the track alone . Iâm afraid someone will hurt her sheâs 74 .
Sadly I think she was deceased very early after abduction if not right away. And the husband never getting the answers was the ultimate win for Winn. Such a sad case. Although I don't always believe that the spouse knows nothing about the business and dealings of their partner especially after so many years together. Not saying that's the case here. Either way, crimes against senior citizens, or anyone unfairly matched are especially cowardly.
I know very little about my husbands buisness dealings? I've never understood why everyone assumes spouses are really this nosey? đđ But yeah, if he was sued of i was kidnapped over something, the kidnappers would be out of luck if they wanted information out of me! Lol idk. I was raised military. My dad litterally couldn't tell my mom. So getting into his work seems a little crazy to me.
@@sarahadair5890 I think that it's more to do with showing an interest in a spouse's life, maybe you just don't care enough to ask how his day at work was. đ€đ€·ââïžđ I'm from a military family also but that doesn't stop conversation completely, I don't know why your dad wasn't able to speak about his work at all to your mother. There's plenty of stuff to talk about that isn't classified info.
Congratulations on the sponsor. I love this channel.
This was a truly fascinating story!!
Fantastic productions. I am hooked.
If only police/FBI would treat regular degular people the same way they treated this multi multi multi millionaire elderly guy and his wife
How often do FBI agents move in with the household of the abducted person??
What an awful thing to go through! Their Golden years were stolen from both of them.
So many details tended to, so intricate the web, so paranoid- yet repeatedly rented a white van?!? Proving yet again- something will always be overlooked, missed or jacked up.
No one is as smart as they think they are.
I was NOT expecting to hear my city on this one! I had never heard of this case before. Wow.
This was a good one !!
I love this channel! Thnku
Love your voice and accent keep up the good work love your channel â€ïžâ€ïž from đźđȘ
Love your narration, girls đđ
The most confusing thing about this is how can unpaid school pictures costs that much?
Great video, well done, and good luck đ đ
Wait, did that 'advisor' say she knew the guy was planning a kidnapping and she didn't warn anyone??
I guess her âspirit guideâ skills nonsense and rational logical decision making are both utterly useless.
Who wouldâve believed her? Seriously. People report actual abuses all the time, including child abuse, and the authorities never act. She wouldâve been written off as a quack and knew it.
@@TeamCat1128 agreed. Nobody would've believed her.
@@TeamCat1128 That's a good point. I hadnt thought of that.
@@TeamCat1128 Baseless nonsense.
Favourite Channel. The narrator is excellent !!
wow this is so fascinating đź
I wonder why none of the franchise owners said they didnât want anything? I mean them being taken to court alone wouldnât have been cheap.
Because it was extortion money.
@@the.meandering yes Iâm guessing this is true because even the husband begged them to accept the money.
As someone living in Deland, it's weird hearing this place mentioned.
2 truly criminal episodes???? absolutely crying đ thank you for the most productive Saturday I've had in years with this amazing content

I watched this on Unsolved Mysteries years ago. Poor lady. Poor family.
I'd always adf year to tbe date, to make it sasier to follow.

Holy sh*t 2 videos in 2 days!!! Sweet đ thank you!!
That poor family- to lose their innocent Mother like that and never find her is heartbreaking đ
Yay you got a sponsor! And yay for your sisters voice reveal đź
So heartbreaking. Rest in peace dear lady.đđ»
This is extremely sad case. It is truly sad that he did not tell them where thr body was. He us an evil man.
Iâm no fan of the âruling classâ, but one really has to be a foul piece of shit to hurt elderly people. Little old ladies are so delicate, I canât even imagine yelling at one
What good will you be when the revolution comes?
â@@eadweard. You're a sad specimen
@@eadweard. lol any revolution is not a revolution if people are out to hurt old people likewise children
@@eadweard. She can service the brave comrades.
It always amuses me people see the oils companies as this great evil from the perspective of social classes. I can understand criticisms from an environmental perspective however until recently the oil companies have done little to stunt the social mobility of any westerner
In contrast they have provided hundreds of thousands of careers while providing a good essential to just about everyoneâs survival. I would also add that until recently, when your liberal world order took hold with Biden and his EU pals at the helm, this good was delivered reliably and at a reasonable rate. It wasnât until people like you took power and instituted your green policies that the middle and lower classes truly began to suffer under inflation and supply issues
So please, stay out of economic issues and stick to bothering people on universities campuses, ditz
It's heartbreaking to say, but I think she passed on probably within a couple days of her kidnapping, either directly from an assault from him or because of the lack of her medicine. He played everything so safe that it would of taken him a second to decide she was going to die because he couldn't risk trying to acquire those precise meds
RIP, Annie đâ€

Just tragic. An observation though. The abductor was 65, the abductee was 71. She was elderly but he was not?!
To think that he physically harmed her is just disgusting. I guess he didnât know that she would have died in a few weeks anyway without her medication.
She was 73. Maybe they consider elderly over 70, or more to do with health issues too, you have a pt though
Iâm 110lb 60yo woman. Iâm sitting here with my 9mm right next to me. I also concealed carry, daily, for my safety. Then, there are cans of wasp spray placed strategically in my house.
Iâve always kept my head on a swivel, especially when hubby is gone.
This is so funny but reading your comment I was thinking ..oh that's great this elderly woman does this.....I'm bloody nearly 62 myself haha, I forget I'm elderly too.
How sad that you live your life in such fear. Here in the UK we don't carry guns and you know what? The chances of being victim to a violent crime are minute compared to in the USA.
@@squirrelmanning7889 There's a lot of knife crime there though isn't there? Still the damage you can do with one knife is nowhere near what a semi automatic rifle does.
@@leelee2350 No, statistically knife crime is no higher in the UK than in the US if you look at the figures. 'Lots of knife crime in the UK' is a myth perpetuated by gun advocates in the US. Same as saying we have 'death panels' in our healthcare system, which we don't.
This story would make a great movie. William H Macy can play the defendant!
What a heartbreaking story
It's so disturbing thinking she may be behind a wall somewhere.
Yes or to the side of a tree, above a fence.
Thanks!
Bless her soul and the family.
They finally have sponsors!!!
Am I the only one lost as to what in the hell this school pictures lawsuit was for?! I think thatâs the biggest factor in this case and I have know clue what that was all about
The franchise owners were not paying their fees to Mr Hearin which is why he sued them.
@@sheffield99 ohhhhh so he was suing THEM?? So what damages did he owe that the kidnapper wanted paid? Iâm so lost on this part of the story
@@kristenc6530 the damages the kidnapper wanted was money or items owed to everyone being sued by Mr Hearin to be returned. In this case the kidnapper wanted his prized car back that had been seized by the court's for not paying Mr Hearin what he owed him but when he opened the mail and received a check it wasn't what he was after and returned it.
@@sheffield99 THANK YOU!!! My mind went completely blank on this one and Iâm like what did he do, what does he owe? đđ
@@sheffield99 he wanted his house back because it was due to be foreclosed and him evacuated. he returned money because itâs wasnât his goal. he wanted his house and busyness back.
This is so awfully sad đą
You did an excellent job on this case!!! Thank you!
Caught this in 3 minutes. Dinner can wait..
He opened up a franchise, and didn't pay the fees to the person who owns the business, which is a standard part of any franchise. If your franchise goes under, you have to repay the assets you owe. How did this lawyer not know that. If he didn't have the money to do so, then he should have sold his car or other assets, or declared bankruptcy. There are risks associated with being a franchisee and this is one of them. It WAS just business, but this jerk made it personal and went to great lengths for retribution he felt was owed him, even though the business failure was his own, costing this innocent woman her life. Since she was alive to write the letter I bet she died from not having her medication which would have been a painful way to go, on top of being scared.
This is so sad and I remember this case from so many years ago. I live in Alabama close to Tuscaloosa and I was born in 63 and remember this on the news and My Dad and Grandparents talked about how terrible it was that they never found her r could even charge thatan with her murder .I'm sure there r people who think maybe he didn't do it but there were to many things that pointed to him as the kidnapper . Maybe he hadn't meant to murder her and she died in the execution of the crime r days without her medicine but He was still at fault for her murder .I hope her children find out what happen to their Mother and give her a proper burial but She and her husband r together in heaven now I'm sure ,still so very sad .
So incredibly sad đ
1988- Mississippi- Robert Hearin was 78 and his wife 73 year old Annie Laurie Hearin was missing and feared kidnapped and Robert called the police ! No ending and considered legally dead in 1991 and never been found.
It's in the video itself that he was 71
I live in Southwest Mississippi, and I remember when this happened
