In the 1970's, I was in my 20's. I guess I never realized that there were a number of mysterious deaths and serial killings going on. I do wish that the truth of Jeanette's death would be found out. How tough for her family to never know for sure what happened to her. Thank you for telling her story and for bringing her death out to the public again. Maybe somebody will finally come forward with some new information. ❤
It's incredibly sad. That authorities have no interest in pursuing justice. For this young girl and her family. What makes this case so difficult. Are the many theories that surround it. What this case needs. Is a determined cold case defective. Feel for her family. Going through life not knowing. What happened to their child. It's a hellish nightmare and so unjust.😥🤬⚖️
I was about 16 in 1970 I picked up hitchhikers all the time, and so did my folks, never had a problem. Sometimes give them a little tour of our little town (st.helens, or) and drop them off at the county line. We never picked up anyone with short hair as they may have just gotten out of prison. You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I miss those carefree days of peace, love, and dope
I used to hitchhike all the time as a teen. These sorts of things just never crossed my mind. But then, we didn't have the internet back then. Just newspapers (which teens never read) and some fuzzy, local news via antennae, and we didn't watch a lot of TV either. I never had a problem so... guess I should thank God for that.
I grew up in the 70's and hitchhiked all the time..Everybody did..There were very few who ever had a problem doing it..the numbers speak for themselves..And honestly, these times are MUCH more dangerous growing up then when we did..
@@normahepburn1643 And I bet you had all friendly rides from good people..Hitchhiking today would be a death sentence..Maybe the Lord put a halt to it? 😏
Thanks for taking us along. I read the book & followed the story in Weird NJ. Tons of anonymous letters from locals claiming it was a cover up. It was cool to see the real spots. In my mind I always imagined she came in from the back. Didn’t know it was a drop off. You’re right about that time. The Princess Doe case in Blairstown. The List murders in Westfield. Near the Watcher House. At least two serial killers in NJ during that time. Poor girl 🙏🏻
Blairstown is my hometown and she is buried in Cedar Ridge Cemetery. My grands & great grands are also buried there. I remember seeing Princess Doe's grave and my Gram's told me the story and she was from Britian I think. She was found dead on the side of the road close to the cemetery. They also filmed part of the original Friday the 13th in Blairstown. I know where the camp is, my grandparents house is a few minutes down the road from there. I know where all the filming spots' are.
@@MobileInstinct Robert Zarinsky was an absolute sociopath in every sense of the word. Most of his murders however, were down a bit closer to the Jersey Shore area, where I believe his Father's produce delivery route took him. But he's definitely a strong candidate for the Kramer murder IMO. That is...... if Otto Nilson wasn't her killer......but that's a whole new ballgame
I live in New Jersey and I've been following this case for a very long time. I'm also a FedEx driver, and I deliver to those apartments on Wilson Ave frequently. I also regularly deliver to 4 Clearview Rd. which is where she used to live. I retraced Jeanette steps from her house, following turn by turn all the way up Summit Rd. to High Point Drive where she supposedly stopped by her friend Donna's house. Contrary to popular belief, and proven by very recent crime scene photos, there is absolutely zero evidence of any Satanic ritualism whatsoever. I've walked down Mount View Road many times, I've even been to the devil's teeth cliff and I can tell you there is no way in hell to carry a body all the way up there unless you are a world-class athlete. The whole thing makes absolutely no sense. By the way ........ It was the police that found her....... when the dog brought the arm to the apartment complex, the police were called and set up a search team.
Such a sad story. May she rest in peace and it would be nice if one day we find out who killed her, even if the person is dead already. Thank you for the video and telling the story Chris, keep up the great work. Take care!
I live about 5 minutes from mount view road. I remember this story from my old man. the Springfield police claim all the records were "washed away in a flood".. super sketch
Maybe they should look at the guy who owned the dog. The same thing happened with the David Reed case. The dog brought back the bones, but that guy ended up being the killer!
It's wonderful how you bring these obscure cases to the front again, and tell things honestly, yet gently. Thank you for doing that Chris, I pray this one gets solved as well. I remember the satanic panic of the 70's into the 80's, not vividly but I do remember it.
Also, that house was recently purchased and renovated, it's a completely different color than the brownish that it was when Jeannette lived there up until maybe 2 years ago. The horseshoe driveway is also brand new, it used to be just a simple driveway leading up to the garage.
Such a sad story it must have been so hard for her poor family may she rest in peace 🕊️ it would be nice if one day they would find out who killed her even if the person that did it had past away at least it would be solved i would like to take the time out to appreciate all the hard work that Chris puts into making all these videos as always he puts in a 💯 and in all his videos and not forgetting all the traveling he puts into making all these videos...👏👏👏
True that, I was living in Alaska in 78, a man was wanted in a few killings of young girls. When he was identified he moved to Texas, when he knew that he had warrants for his arrest, he committed suicide by riding his motorcycle head on into a tractor trailer.
Great video. Thanks for bringing light to this. But I’m just gonna say, the audio level changes pretty drastically throughout. It doesn’t happen in your other ones
Such a heartbreaking story, but you gotta figure that there was probably a lot less vegetation and trees around the area back in '72, making it easier to find the body.
Actually by all accounts, the vegetation was just as heavy as it is now. There is no way she went up there to party or anything like that, that is absolutely not a hangout spot.
Me too, Chris wonder what happened to her? Sometimes I wish when we die we can come back somehow to say how we died. Guess thats kind of crazy of me to think that. It would solve alot of questions wouldn't it? To know who did it, why, & get justice. Some cases are still unsolved & these murderers lived their lives. Idk as I said crazy thinking, talken, huh? Be safe out there & thanks for bringing this to light. Maybe someone will come forward & solve this. 🤔
Her brief life was tragic. But also tragic is the possible cover up by law authorities. Too convenient that records were washed away in a flood. Did authorities help push the idea of witchcraft to take heat off themselves? Maybe even law officers and/or local politicians were involved in this and other murders? Food for thought. Great whodunnit. Thanks, Chris
Since it was such a remote location her remains were found, I would think the person that found her would be at the top of the suspect list. It happens often when killers want their victims found or want to take suspension away from themselves
It was the police that found her, after the dog brought the arm home at the Baltusrol Gardens Apartments, the police were called and set up a search party
I get the feeling that she may have been placed up there in that way intentionally, as a sort of display/distraction. Whether it was a serial killer responsible or not. But serial killers as we all known adore leaving mementos, hints, riddles, or anything that is a identifier, especially ones that they know would be memorable and ensure plenty of lasting attention or even distraction is added in as a effect.
Weird N.J. has done several stories on this over the years. There were several assumptions that the identity of the murderer was known but the person who perpetrated it was being protected because of who they were ( possibly politically connected).
One of my friends a pretty young girl loved to travel she hitchhiked everywhere. I was asking about her and her friends said a serial killer truck driver had killed her. So sad.
So in the last video we all saw the littel girl in the cemetery, But did any one spot the Deer 🦌 in this one ?? Ah ha IM A TRUE New Englander lol look between the metal box and the old mixer at the old quary into the video it's real quick don't blink 😅 .Any way hope this video can solve or get some attention to her murder my prayers to her family. Enjoyed the video.
I know this story very well my older family lived around the same area. & My Mom said the 60s & 70s had a lot of killers. & the worst part she always used to hitchhike just like many young people did back then. Thank God she never got kidnapped or worst but a lot of young people did get caught up by the wrong people just because they wanted to hitchhike to get to where they wanted
Ok I was horrified! I thought the thumbnail was the actual dog with the human arm. I’d had to explain to my children that’s the dog isn’t part of the real story.
It would be very difficult to investigate and solve a possible homicide with such little to no evidence. Back in the 1970s and now! May she rest in peace 🙏.
that is very true a lot of killers and this is sad and Chris this is a good video you did i'll try to find some abandoned places and murder places for you
Think it was a spot where teens hung out is why they were able to find her there. A lot less vegetation from photos i remember seeing. I could be thinking about another case though

Someone had to of picked up Jeannette DePalma in a vehicle because from what I can tell her resting place was way to high for her to access. Route 78 west would of put the perpetrator almost on flat ground to access the top of the cliff.
Ain't no doubt in my mind that when ur some of these places, u get freaked out. Especially in the woods secluded like this. And at times, I bet even followed. Right back from where ya came. No thank you! I'm good.
It's in teh Weird New Jersey Vol. 2 that this story was in. They asked the boyfriend and forced him to "confess" or whatever. But he ended up committing suicide. I think?
I don’t know the very specific details of the case, but it seems most likely to me that she was trying to hitchhike, was raped and then murdered, and then the murderer took the body up to that place to dump it. It seems like a place that is out of the way and takes some effort to get to. So if she was ever found, there wouldn’t be anything left, as animals got to her over the years and scattered the bones.
Okay so who in their right mind would want to climb up there!? So did they look into the person that found her? It seemed like the killer would only know where she would be
That’s true the seventies had a lot of serial killers and just many mysterious killings. Sad story , it’s good you told it 🙏
70s 80s & 90s forsure
Such a weird story....thanks for covering this!

I agree with you. The fact that her remains were so old and of no use to even say how the poor girl died is just creepy
We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.
I live in Springfield and am absolutely fascinated by this story. So many missing pieces to this story.
It's incredibly sad. That authorities have no interest in pursuing justice. For this young girl and her family. What makes this case so difficult. Are the many theories that surround it.

No evidence to say the authorities have no interet in this case.
They need DNA to solve this which they don't have..90% of cold cases are solved from DNA evidence..There are millions of unsolved murders.

So sad not knowing what happened and why. Thanks for sharing this case.

Interesting mystery.... you always have a great story to share... 😮

Absolutely! Joan Kramer was murdered around the same time and close by. Robert Zarinsky was out there right at that time too

Jeanettes mother found a book on Satanism under her bedroom mattress. Her mother was baffled as Jeanette was a devout Christian.
Whats your best guess?..What do you think since you've been following the case?
Such a sad story. May she rest in peace and it would be nice if one day we find out who killed her, even if the person is dead already. Thank you for the video and telling the story Chris, keep up the great work. Take care!
Hello from NJ, fan of your videos and lamont at large.
Catching up on videos while recovering from my 4th open heart surgery ❤
I live about 5 minutes from mount view road. I remember this story from my old man. the Springfield police claim all the records were "washed away in a flood".. super sketch
I think it's like those girls killed by serial killer on long Island...it's a cover up of rich people murders...👀
They probably had their fun with her.
Excellent job Chris. A fascinating and very sad story. Thanks for sharing your work and your art
Maybe they should look at the guy who owned the dog. The same thing happened with the David Reed case. The dog brought back the bones, but that guy ended up being the killer!

I’m thinking the dog lead them back to where she was

Would of liked to see a map of how far the house the dog apt and jennets house were apart but good job very interesting..:)
Thank u Chris for sharing this story w us.Stay safe in yr travels 😊
I highly recommend the book, death on devils teeth. So much weird shit going on in that area at the time
I think alot of serial killers got away with alot back in the 70s and earlier, due to lack of technology, in my opinion of course.
Be safe
Her brief life was tragic. But also tragic is the possible cover up by law authorities. Too convenient that records were washed away in a flood. Did authorities help push the idea of witchcraft to take heat off themselves? Maybe even law officers and/or local politicians were involved in this and other murders?
Food for thought. Great whodunnit. Thanks, Chris
Like the Amityville murders in NY basically blamed son when media covered up for the mob...
Another very sad story thank you for putting this out there again. RIP Jeanette 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I don't see this being solved. She obviously was put there. Most likely hitched a ride with the killer. RIP
Yeah I agree.
Since it was such a remote location her remains were found, I would think the person that found her would be at the top of the suspect list. It happens often when killers want their victims found or want to take suspension away from themselves
It was the police that found her, after the dog brought the arm home at the Baltusrol Gardens Apartments, the police were called and set up a search party
The dog did a few nights in jail, he was a bad boy
I get the feeling that she may have been placed up there in that way intentionally, as a sort of display/distraction. Whether it was a serial killer responsible or not. But serial killers as we all known adore leaving mementos, hints, riddles, or anything that is a identifier, especially ones that they know would be memorable and ensure plenty of lasting attention or even distraction is added in as a effect.
You are right up the street from me.. Wish I knew you were in the area..
Anyone else catch that deer at about 1:56??
Good eye!
I hope there's justice for her
Weird N.J. has done several stories on this over the years. There were several assumptions that the identity of the murderer was known but the person who perpetrated it was being protected because of who they were ( possibly politically connected).
Bingo!
Rest in Peace Jeanette DePalma! 🌺
One of my friends a pretty young girl loved to travel she hitchhiked everywhere. I was asking about her and her friends said a serial killer truck driver had killed her. So sad.
When did that happen?
Evil people have always looked for victims.
😢 RIP Jeanette 🙏 🪦 thanks for sharing story
Thanks chris
You post the most Awesome and interesting stuff 👍👍👍
I love your Channel!!
Greetings from 🇮🇹➕
Can you PLEASE do a video on the Waco cult? and maybe visit the exact site of where that house was? that would be amazing!

Born in ‘72. Wild times.
Good to see you.
Same thing happened to me once, except it was a skull. Someone had lost their head and got carried away. There was a big stink about it.
Your're a good man Chris!
I remember this........
I hope you examined yourself for little insects called "ticks". Very common in NJ woods and forests. They carry Lymn's disease.
Ok I was horrified! I thought the thumbnail was the actual dog with the human arm. I’d had to explain to my children that’s the dog isn’t part of the real story.
Vineland, NJ had a similar tragedy in 1971.
Lord have mercy,,,,🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I enjoy your videos!
Died too soon and died mysteriously... RIP jeanette
It would be very difficult to investigate and solve a possible homicide with such little to no evidence. Back in the 1970s and now! May she rest in peace 🙏.
What was Jeanettes' destination on the day she disappeared? Did her friends know of a person who she might have had a relationship with.
Her mysterious boyfriend she told her cousin about...
Wow so weird and yes like you said very creepy. Hmm would love to know what actually happened. Great video
that is very true a lot of killers and this is sad and Chris this is a good video you did i'll try to find some abandoned places and murder places for you
Great video Chris may she rest in peace

Nice truck bro. I just bought a Tundra loaded and I love it!. I almost went for the TRD.
I read that there is a correlation between leaded gas and the violence of the 70's.
Pretty scenic spot for NJ........too bad it's so close to that major noisy highway!!
Nice Video Chris
🌴☘️🇮🇳🌹🌷
Good video thanks.
Did you see the deer? About 1.57 ❤
🌹
I hadn't known of this until around 2006 when i started getting a bunch of Weird NJ back issues (they covered it several times).
There was big coverup during the List family investigation 1971. Westfield NJ. Same thing. Occult practices.
Thesis sad.
Oh wow my mom is from this area and Jeanette was about her age, I wonder if they went to school together

Those apartments at the beginning of the video look like the apartments from that teen that got stabed by her friends
Ain't no doubt in my mind that when ur some of these places, u get freaked out. Especially in the woods secluded like this. And at times, I bet even followed. Right back from where ya came. No thank you! I'm good.
What a eerie place, all that metal just left to rust away.
It's in teh Weird New Jersey Vol. 2 that this story was in. They asked the boyfriend and forced him to "confess" or whatever. But he ended up committing suicide. I think?
How do you know that? He did commit suicide but very few people know that.
Wondering if modern technology could help solve the case by exhuming her remains.
I don’t know the very specific details of the case, but it seems most likely to me that she was trying to hitchhike, was raped and then murdered, and then the murderer took the body up to that place to dump it. It seems like a place that is out of the way and takes some effort to get to. So if she was ever found, there wouldn’t be anything left, as animals got to her over the years and scattered the bones.
If it's doable to walk up there... How hard would it be to dump a body there?
This case reminds me the first season of True Detective crime drama series.
The hero in this tragedy is the dog.
1:57, dog, deer? blink and you'll miss it
Okay so who in their right mind would want to climb up there!? So did they look into the person that found her? It seemed like the killer would only know where she would be
RIP
