The Clear Lake Murders

- Äas pĆidĂĄn 26. 08. 2022
- July 18th 2003.
A neighbour showed up at 18 year old Tiffany Rowell's house and walked into a horrifying site. Tiffany, her boyfriend Marcus, her best friend Rachael and Marcus's cousin, Adelbert all lay dead, and it was determined that they had been shot to death.
It would take three years for the police to finally get answers about what happened that afternoon...

She betrayed them in the most horrible way possible. She bit the hand that fed her.
Disgusting
I find it difficult to listen to Christine's parents continually making up excuses and blaming others for her behavior. It's one thing to support your loved one but it speaks volumes when the parents only look to others to point the finger to their killer child. What a horrible human being along w/her bf.
@@isabellind1292 Why tf she was with her ex boyfriend anyway? She was a little manipulative evil B
Cognitive dissonance-
I once befriended "ugly duckling" in high school and helped her get included. She repaid with gossip of worst kind, being rude to everyone, telling teachers on us and stealing and accusing others. Some people God marked with ugly for a reason. Lesson learned.
@@MusgraveRitual and honestly christine wasn't that ugly. Wouldnt surprise me if the parents exagerrated the bullying to gain sympathy
I'm so sick of criminals blaming drugs for their crimes, they willingly and knowingly took the drugs, they are responsible for their actions.
Agree 100%.
As an ex-junkie, I agree. Drugs warp choice and reason, but they're still there, and ultimately your responsibility. Also, the drugs didn't make you that way, they just lowered your inhibitions, numbed your humanity, and brought out the worst of who you already were. In others like me, aside from a few issues, they brought out the opposite. People like this really have no excuse, and the issue is that the core was rotten. Edit: After hearing "use every 15 minutes", this drugs would've had a hold and effect on her more than most of what I would consider hardcore junkies. My point still stands in agreement though.
I agree but what most people in modern societies are dismissing is fornication which is not sanctioned by God, but loved and cherished by satan. Hence many murders have come full circle because of the evil conseqences of fornication. Parents need to be more responsible and stop their sons and daughters from this evil act. We can discover right here on youtube how many cases of murder due to fornicating. Broken hearts, sex taken for granted, rape, molestation, psychological problem, deteroriating mental health, cheating. Immorality is getting out of control. Look at this for an example. Majority of drug dealers are filthy fornicators without a doubt.Godless and ruthless. God's path is clear, any other path will lead to self destruction, Their is a wisdom why God made heaven and hell. Life and death. Hell is where Godless people who abandon submitting themselves to God. Submit to this world via selfish desires will lead to self destruction. May Allah /God guide mankind to the straight way, Islam. I blame Tiffanys parents for allowing her to have a pathetic sexual partner outside of marriage. Satan and his race love mankind to fornicate, Why because the more one fornicates the less love they have for God. Drugs is satanic and ends eventually in humilation and possibly death.
They think itâs the drugs that caused them to act this way because they are finally sobering up, possibly for the first time in years or even decades, and fully realizing what theyâve done to themselves and others during that time.
Drugs make some people extremely paranoid and delusional, especially if they have underlying mental illness. Combine that with a weapon and it becomes extremely dangerous. I donât see it as an excuse at all but understanding how it contributes can help to prevent it happening. Seeing the signs and getting people into treatment before they become addicts and prescribing the right mental health treatment can save lives in the future, for sure.
Drugs, alcohol and mental health!
This case makes me angrier than usual. Tiffany and Rachel reached out to help and she did that. Then cries when she's caught, only feeling sad for herself. She's disgusting.
Whilst I hold the murderers 100% responsibile for their crimes, I can't help wondering about the dynamics between Tiffany, Rachel and Christine, if there was maybe an undercurrent of pity that came out in the way they talked to and about her?
There was already a friendship between Tiffany and Rachel before they included Christine, which Christine could have felt. rightly or wrongly, she was always on the outside of?
It's clearly obvious she felt deep seated resentment to one or both of the girls, the recipients of charity aren't always as grateful as you'd think they'd be.
This crime proves that no good deed goes unpunished, what a waste of life all round.
and no matter she could have stopped it, she knew her friends were an easy target
I agree Kylie she's 2 Selfish
I agree. I believe she did it out of jealousy.
She was only 17 tho... running around with a criminal and on drugs. Her family should've been there for her too... but it seems like nobody cared and the result is 4 lives lost
The fact that she was able to front up for her shift half an hour after the carnage and actually complete that shift shows she wasn't under the influence of drugs at the time of the murders - doesn't get any colder than that. Tragic, Tragic, Tragic.
I'm more surprised that she was even able to sustain a job
I respectfully disagree. I was a high functioning drug addict for 20 years. Went to work high af every chance I got and completed every shift (mostly). Doesnât excuse her actions in any way shape or form. Sheâs a psychotic monster.
Scott Newton, as she was in the police interview, (approximately 23:00)she got sick, according to her because she did heroin every 10 minutes, so she was definitely full of heroin.
True great observation
@@JDiz992 I agree with you completely. I have lived a double life and never had real Friends like Christine, who were there for me when I needed them. She is plain EVIL and it may sound harsh, but I wish she od'd before she decided to slaughter 4 innocent people. Her 2 Best Friends from school who did everything in their power to make her feel and look so much better. But she was STILL jealous of them, especially Rachel was a radiant beauty and so was her best Friend Tiffany. She, Christine, even went back after the murders to the victims' room or apartment to end Rachels life because she was still moving and tried to dial 911. She viciously beat her skull in with the butt(sorry, I'm Dutch, I don't know if the translation is ok)of her pistol. If addictions would really have been the cause of her actions I and many others would have become serial killers. Like you I was addicted for 2 decades. Also I think she masterminded the plan killings of 4 precious lives who were just enjoying their evening together. R.I.P. Rachael, Tiffany, Marcus & Adelbertâ€â€â€â€. It's a shame that "Miss Irresistible"(NOT) is not punished like any other
quadruple murderess. She doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as we do..Long story, sorryđ€.
My late uncle was a heroin addict of 26 years. But he's never harmed another being, despite having a hard life- served in Afghanistan for a long time, divorce, loss of income, homelessness..he's been through so much so I never judged him. I was still a kid and loved him unconditionally! Goes to show that evil doesn't need excuse ..these people are just evil..đ„ș
This really touched me. So many people suffering trauma get lost to addiction. He sounds like he was a good man, and what a lot he had to carry. I'm sorry for your loss, and appreciate your lack of judgement of your uncle.
Or maybe your Uncle was stronger than u give him credit for. Drugs hits everyone differently. My 2 closest Uncles were addicts. 1 was in the street doing whatever it took to get high. The other would hide from us if he was high because he didn't want us to see him that way. The irony is that my Uncle that was more discreet overdosed. I had just left him. As soon as I left he got high and never was the same. My other Uncle who was the worse of the 2 in every way survived coke,crack,heroin and alcohol to be a good person. Nobody would've saw it. My other Uncle died at 37 in the 90's. His brother is now 69 years old and hasn't done drugs in over 10 years. Everyone handles it differently. Blessings to your family bro.
How do you know he never hurt anyone? Addicts keep secrets all of the time especially heroin addicts. Heroin addicts are known to do any immoral and illegal thing to maintain their habits. Most likely, you really didn't know even a tenth of what happened in your uncle's life.
I watched my husband struggle for 15 years with it. He has always been the kindest gentlest human. Heâll have four years sober in a couple months.
The dad begging to be let in the house is truly heartbreaking. I can't imagine why this girl would want the only people who reached out to and protected her from bullying to die. If she was the one who bashed her friends head and then went to work, she's one sick individual. Jealousy played some part in this horrific crime. So sorry for the families.
I totally agree! This crime reeks of jealously. I think she had always been jealous of them, even when they were kind to her.
Jealousy and pure hate
Inferiority complex. She become what those bullies told about her, a monster.
... and the first words the idiot cop offers a broken disheartened father involved taking him to jail. WTAF
I thought the same thing about the dad. The way the cop told him to stand back or go to jail wasn't cool. Where is the empathy? I understand people need to stay out for the investigation but treat the victims families with Respect and Empathy.
Couldnât stop rolling my eyes when she said that although she was holding the gun and it was firing, she never pulled the trigger.
All though like just like you know like just like you know, annoying you can tell she was involved by her fake cries while tellin the story you have to feel bad but at the same time she knew what she was doing and the fact that she tried blaming chris she knew what she did and was well aware of what was happening
Christine's stepfather, Thomas, is deep in denial about her guilt. She's not a victim. Plenty of people go through what she went through as far as bullying and lack of self-esteem. Most of them never find true friends like Rachel and Tiffany. What Christine did to those young women, especially Rachel, was the ultimate act of betrayal, and she deserves the worst fate possible.
đŻ
and those of us that did find friends like Rachel and Tiffany (in my case Sandra and Lana) you hold on to them and cherish the friendship sandra died recently but me and Lana are still close and it's been 30 years and i still talk to Sandra's mom. Their's no excuse for this at all.
She became what those bullies told her - a monster and that was completely her choice.
Totally agree
Yeah as a recovering addict I could have done something like that (not killing someone but robbing them) and be an accomplice. She tried to play miss innocent. If she called the cops afterwards Iâd have more sympathy but not now.
Have to appreciate Justin, Christineâs husband, for taking the risk and reaching out to law enforcement to give them a direction. If he never did that, the murders would still be a cold case.
He probably thought he'd get the rest of her inheritance
@@Tiz-maymay Bit cynical but you may be right (there was also a reward for tips leading to arrest). OTOH, if he was just a regular Joe junkie, he could have become scared shitless when, whist watching a crime update on TV, his partner suddenly confessed to killing 4 people, gleefully bludgeoning one to death.
So true. He couldâve up paying for her crimes. đ
â@@Tiz-maymay -- even if he DID do it for her inheritance and the reward, I'm absolutely OKAY with that. HE gave the police the jump start for the case that they needed AND SHE WAS GUILTY. If he'd called because she'd pissed him off but she was innocent, that'd be a WHOLE different story. She was DISGUSTING and at least HE had a sense of right and wrong.
What an utter betrayal. They took her in, became friends with her, loved her and she helped kill them. What a terrible person she is
There was jealousy involved in these killings.
She was the master mind. Typical ungrateful, hateful, dis loyal tramp.
Destroys so many livesâ€ïž
Some people you are the nicest to, treat you horribly
Drug addicts
So neither Christine, nor her stepfather, can come to terms with her part in this; how sad.
Pisses me the f**k off when these criminals start cryin around in court đ Wasn't cryin when taking pleasure in beating someone to death..Makes me so angry and sick. She is so ungrateful and hateful for what those girls did for her. Little B
Exactly. She "didn't know anything was going to happen" but she wore all black and a bandana.
@@decemiraj9978 Exactly. Pathetic.
When Tiffanyâs father cried and begged police to let him go in that house and see his daughter, it made me cry. I understand why the police wouldnât let him in. They didnât want him to contaminate the crime scene and/or destroy evidence. But the part that really gave me chills was when Rachael kept asking âwhy?â over and over as she was being beaten to death by the girl she thought was a friend. It reminded me of the Skylar Neese case because Skylar kept asking âwhy?â over and over as she was being stabbed to death by the two girls she thought were her friends. It really gives new meaning to the phrase âbe careful who you make friends withâ.
Sadly, some people (even family) sometimes are gone so far they can't be saved and you have to move on for your own safety.
Whichever officer threatened the father with jail could have handled that situation muuuuuuuccchhh better. I don't care what his police training told him, his training as a human being should have taken over in that situation. There were plenty of officers inside evaluating the crime scene. His only job at this moment in time was to control the crowd, and there was a better way to maintain the perimeter . . . and help the father at the same time.
@@MayorMcCheeseStalker yesâŠ. That was a terrible way to behave to a father who knew his daughter had died âŠ. I like your phrase, âhis training as a human being should have taken overââŠâŠ..
Jealousy and Envy made her do this
That was Rachelâs father, not Tiffanyâs. Tiffany Rowellâs dad, Chester Rowell, was my band teacher many years earlier.
As a father, seeing the girl's father pleading with the cops to view his daughter, it's gut wrenching.
That made me tear up! The pain in his voice... my heart hurt for him.
I lived in Clear Lake when this happened. My little sister went to school with Marcus, Tiffany , Rachel and Christine. It was so shocking because people don't get murdered in Clear Lake. And for it to remain unsolved for so long was simply unheard of.
There was so many needles in the hotel room, when Christine got arrested, you couldn't find an area without them. There was an enormous amount of blood splatter on the ceiling from them shooting up. đȘĄ
@@selenasanchez4244 OH Lord Jesus! That part about the blood on the hotel ceiling was very disturbing, and it all is, but that was stomach churning.
Ya that had me bawling before she really got into the story! How heartbreaking đą
Better off the father didnât get to see his daughter, would of been even worst seeing your little girl covered in blood etc.
Stay away from drugs people and do not associate yourself with people who are heavily on drugs.
Or be kind to people..apparently
Drug use was not to blame for these crimes. This also sounds a bit like victim blaming. They were murdered by one of their best friends. Drugs and money were left at the scene. These murders were personal.
@@annerison when your high you have no idea what your doing
@@9shazad Sometimes you don't know. But EVERYTIME you get high, you do it by choice. If you make bad choices, then you are 100% responsible for your actions. 48 years ago I chose NOT to get high anymore because of some of my actions while I was high. Anyone can make that choice.
@@9shazad Is that why they had guns & why she was dressed in all Black???Bc she didn't know that she was going to kill her highschool friends??She knew what she was doing high or not.
4 lives brutally stolen just as when their lives were heading into their best years, the start of a new chapter for all of them with the beginning of adulthood.
4 families destroyed forever the ripples of this tragedy effecting so many people all so 2 other people can stick a needle in their arm, horrific and so evil.
Rachel's father's pleading broke me then seeing her mother collapse....all I could do was cry for their pain.
As a mother of 4 I can not begin to imagine what any of those parents must have felt and then to find out it was a trusted friend, unbelievable.
Why so many kids ? Why ?
Then that coward takes his own lifeđ
@@abbyarnold4477 What do you mean why so many kids?
@@KingNoTail Why give birth to so many children ? That many children are unaffordable unless you're on welfare .
@@abbyarnold4477 - Because you can hardly kill two people and leave the other two as witnesses
Christine was jealous of Rachael's beauty and gifts. God bless her husband, Justin.
Justin turned Christine in so he could get the reward money and any remaining inheritance money. Christine and Justin were both drug addicts as evidenced by their motel room.
I don't understand their relationship. Justin is her husband yet she is living with Chris the drug addict? I am surprised he hasn't divorced her.
What about Tiffany's beauty too, u asshole
@@fc7307 she didnât live with ChrisâŠshe lived with her husband in the hotel room.
I imagine many girls were. From the video & photos Rachael was an absolutely stunning young woman. It's not even a matter of opinion really. I'm so sorry those terrible things happened & ended the lives of her & her friends so young . Bright futures senselessly gone in an instant. Life can be so unfair. đą
You can just tell that she always resented being the "ugly friend" in the friendship group (I'm not calling her ugly btw, I just think that that's how she perceived herself), and that she had always been jealous of her friends. RIP to the victims.
Why not call her ugly? Don't disrespect the poor victims even further by showing grace to the ugly monster responsible for their deaths!!!
I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I mean, of course maybe at times you're going to feel that way, but to assume she was jealous because you don't find her as attractive...
I think it was drug addiction and getting involved with the wrong people and going along with stupid crap.
@@picklesmccoy7796 I know but I try to avoid calling people physically ugly. She is VERY ugly on the inside tho.
@@industrialover First of all, I didn't say that I found her unattractive. I said that I believe that that is how she perceived herself. From my experience, long term underlying resentment is very powerful. I think drug addiction is very powerful and yes, it is clear she got involved with the wrong crowd. But I don't think that she just went along with this. This seemed PRETTY targeted. And I do think, that in her messed up on-drugs head, she was jealous deep down and it played a part in her doing this.
@@industrialover I think OP is right. I heard in another video (or maybe this one, Ive seen it before but havenât finished the rewatch yet) that at least one of the girls was shot in her private parts. That is personal imo and more consistent with jealousy and hatred than mere robbery.
She is also less conventionally attractive than the victims fwiw
So the police investigated everyone possibly close to them and they didn't check into christine? The fact they were so close and she didn't attend the funeral, they all knew about her and her boyfriend and their issues but they weren't looked into at all especially when it was identified as a man and a woman walking on the road? Like wtf
sounds like you need to put in your two weeks at that pathetic place you call work and become a full fledged investigator!
Love
This is a fair question. They knew that what happened to Rachel was personal and possibly a crime of jealousy. Doesn't make sense to me either, the police could have easily solved this crime much sooner.
@@annerison right! Itâs a very logical question⊠I donât understand the responses
Yea those 2 are just douche bags, the one can't put his 2 weeks in cause he works from home as an internet troll, straight L7 Weiney, and the other one clearly doesn't have any tools in his shed, do us all a favor and đ€«đ€«đ€«
Shooting heroin every 10-15min? Wow!
Christine was dead ass jealous of Rachelâs beauty and kind nature. What a sad situation for all.
Literally. Rachel was very ethereal. She hated her for no reason because Rachel never saw her as a enemy. Thatâs what she got for being a good person? Senseless.
in this day and age, you even have to be careful about who youâre kind towards.
Unfortunately, not just in our current times, it's since the existence of mankind...
This has always been true
This happened almost 20 years ago but I get what you mean
Check out the murder of Sarah Stern, she was killed by a friend she had known since 1st grade, Liam McAtasney.
Yep, I'm not kind to anyone but my kids.
Whoever is narrating has a superb voice for this. Very clear, concise and easy to hear all the case details. Both thumbs up!
Big props to sketch artist Lois Gibson. Her work is amazing.
Yes she really solved this. All because of her for real. May all those beautiful souls rest in peace. đą so senseless
R.I.P Tiffany Rachael Marcus & Adelbert
As heartbreaking it was to watch thank you TC for your phenomenal content x
This is my neighborhood and I remember this very vividly. It is a truly heartbreaking story! The house has since been sold but I canât imagine anyone wanting to live there after what happened!
The same as with the Watts house, but finally a new family with kids bought it and repainted.
U still live around?
Glad Justin fessed up about his wife. Also no tears shed on my end after finding out Chris took his own life.
"An earthquake for the families." How tragically true. Thankyou for your straightforward and dignified narration.
Can't trust everyone. Jealousy is a very powerful emotion. I also don't understand why her parents just didn't wait until she finished the school year before relocating. It was very unwise to leave a teenager on her own like that. They are not mature enough to handle the responsibility as witnessed by the drug and alcohol parties.
She needs a mental hospital though
yep, and the drugs led a murderer to their door.
Thank you for the delicate but direct way you handle these videos, it is both respectful and honest. Also, the defense lawyers in this case were disgusting. All the excuses they tried to make for her cruel and inhumane actions... I understand it is their job, but how could one feel okay with themselves when stating pure lies?
That's what I hate about defense lawyers who defend the guilty who go not guilty
Unfortunately it is their job. Even if the person is guilty they still have a right to a defense, that is the way of our judicial system. The lawyers probably knew she was guilty but it's their job to try and get the best outcome for their client as possible. Since she committed the crime when an adolescent, life was the best outcome.
Defense attorneys have a job to do, to get their client off, thatâs it. DONT fault them for doing what they are paid to do. They did not commit the murder, they did not create the justice system.
@@thatjtyp there should be no such thing as a defence attorney if you are a murdering piece of shit then defend yourself
She's in utter denial. These murders never would've happened without Chris. đđŠđ€đ©đŻđȘđ€đąđđđș true, if you consider her addiction wouldn't have happened without Chris. In her mind she's trying to justify her actions by certain technicalities but the officer was right. She needs to come to terms that there's a darkness in her soul.
Now what I don't get is why did they leave the money and drugs? Another story I heard said they went to rob them. Them leaving everything, or even anything behind, that's where it all just seems like this had a really dark intent. Her going to work immediately after is very telling of her mindset and true intent.
How did the police miss/overlook the fact that a close friend of the girls had a violent, drug-addicted boyfriend with a history of felonies and attempted restraining orders against him? They really dropped the ball there. I was not at all expecting the culprits to be so close given how many years it took.
It's almost like police didn't want to investigate. They lazily assumed that the crimes were drug related, even though there was no evidence to support that AND evidence at the scene made it clear that Rachel's murder was personal and possibly motivated by jealousy. The police did not care enough to do a real investigation. Blame the victims and move along seems to be their strategy.
If yâall think itâs that easy, apply to the police department and show them howâs itâs done. Even if the police do suspect someone of a crime, simple suspicion isnât enough to bring in for questioning. Also, how would the police know these people were all friends with each other? Itâs not like the police are hanging out with them during their parties.
I mean, they didnât even know who the suspects were until the crime stoppers tip came in. It could have been hundreds of people responsible for the murders amongst all the people they knew. Yâall watch too many police shows.
It's telling how they treated the father when he showed up to the crime scene. I believe when they noticed the cameras they changed their tune
The number of people who throw away their lives to stay in an unhealthy relationship is baffling to me
She was bullied relentlessly but was saved by 2 girls. She thought she could do the same to him.
@@fc7307 This logic makes no sense, unless you believe the story Christine told about him killing them all for drugs. Christine confessed to her husband that she participated in the murders and killed Rachel herself. This wasn't about drugs. I think it's much more likely that it had to do with a rift in the friendships or them growing apart. This was personal and fueled by a jealous rage.
So Christine is a victim đđ»
@@davids5006 everything but a victim
I just donât understand why this girl did this. These girls befriended her, protected her, and she betrayed them in the most heartbreaking and horrifying way. Sad tragedy for everyone involved especially the family of those slain.
What the news didn't say is one of the guys killed was a major 'dealer' he had ripped off the male shooter. There is alot missing from the story but it does basically tell the just of it. I went to school w them
Ugly girl syndrome. One of the symptoms is bitterness.
@@landryl2006what was Christine like?
This was sad no matter how many times I've heard of this case. They've been good to her and in return she murdered them. The dad's cry was heartbreaking. I always get affected when fathers cry as they usually keep it together. I miss my dad everyday.
She's so sick in the head from heroin she'll probably kill her own family. It's disgusting how she stooped so low she should be buried, not those girls.
Heroin doesn't affect your head, thoughts ir behaviours so don't allow anyone to tell you drugs ir alcohol is ever to blame. She was always like that and drugs heightens the feelings
@@louloubelle1330 You are 100% right. Thank you for correcting this common mistake among those who do not understand drugs and what they truly do and do not do. The same logic can be applied to other things as well like metal music making people evil murderers or violent video games creating killers. That is simply not how it works and these people had to already had those inclinations inside them.
@@louloubelle1330 While I agree that substances can heighten a person's feelings, heavy drugs actually do change the brain's chemistry and some even eat away at the brain tissue. Since the brain is where our thoughts and behaviors come from, drugs are a huge part to blame.
@@iamV10010 I wonder though how she was dealing then...in prison. Getting clean.
I would have loved an interview with her now.
Can you please tell me the real motive of her killings or was it her tilted mind?
Tragic story.
RIP to those who passed away.
Also, to their family and friends.
I've seen this case on Deadly Women, and other true crime based shows and it really upsets me. Killed for no reason. This girl threw away friends who cared about her and tried to help her. đ
she didn't throw them away, she k*lled them.
I've heard of this case before. Tragic and sad. You tell it a lot better than the actual crime shows. My heart breaks everytime I hear of this case.
You really do an excellent presentation each time. Thanks so much...No hype...no shouting to get our attention. As the policeman said in "Dragnet" "Just the facts." Well done....Subscribed.
Well said. Her voice is soothing yet engaging given the narrative
I appreciate you covering these crimes from both sides of the pond. Thank you for telling these stories some of us have never heard about.
You can never really know what someone's thinking... even your "best friends" it seems.
I, too, experienced extreme bullying and even threats in school. I NEVER considered murdering even the meanest of my classmates. There was something in her that allowed her to do this, just like there was nothing in me that could do it.
I know the police have a job to do but threatening a grieving father with jail was heartless. There should be grief councillors on site who could gently lead grieving families away from the scene while the police do their job.
I think that at that point, they were just doing or saying anything they could to prevent him from entering the house and witnessing the carnage. Something they knew he would never be able to unsee.
@Adams CZcams grief councillor should be on the scene with the police for those grieving, whether they be family or not.
Thatâs why ppl hate the police for a reason , good thing lackluster is exposing these tyrants lol
Idk why but I choke up everytime I see a family member find out this sort thing. Doesnât matter if it was 80 years ago. It still makes me upset
I appreciate that you started and ended this video talking about the victims. So many videos on this case are more focused on the murderer and not the tragic loss of 4 innocent lives.
This channel is very respectful twords the victims and always makes sure to speak about their lives and personalities and make their stories known. It's worth subscribing to so I hope you have subbed and clicked the bell for notifications.
So sad, four young lives taken away so tragically and for nothing. Anyhow, thanks for sharing their stories, sisters. Hope that two-faced broad never gets out of prison!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Iâve seen this case before and this time it really upset me hearing it. I canât believe Christine beat Rachael after everything her and the other girl did to help her bald ass. So upsetting to hear Rachael kept asking why as she was killedâŠ.Christine deserves to rot in prison.
Bald assđ€Ł .
Yeah it's really sad , can't believe she did that
To help her bald ass lmfao
Her bald assđ
she probably had rage build up for them. rage and jealousy for her "normal friends" taking pity on the freak
Her bald and, lmao
I remember when this happened. I didnât think it was random at the time and thoughts were drug related but only now found this and what happened. Christine is not a victim she is a cold blooded killer and possibly couldâve stopped this horrible crime. Very sad
Shocking, and still no clear motive. Even drug addled and stealing, and to add the sheer brutality of it.
I think because of the personal nature of the crimes, that it had something to do with a rift in their friendships or them growing apart. Rachel's murder has jealous rage written all over it.
40 shots??? How did none of the neighbors hear anything? Must have been a really loud party.
it was actually 21 shots i believe, 17 hitting their targets.
Christine's father: "My daughter is paying for someone else's sin. My daughter doesn't desreve this...." Christine: "They were my best friends", but soon as the shooting started she "didn't hesitate to join in".... I daresay Mr. Paolilla, "there is no blinder person than one who does not want to see"....
Her Dad's helplessness is visceral. I couldn't imagine the unrelenting dread. Anguish. A waking nightmare that never ends. Nah... đ
Another excellent and engrossing crime drama, brilliantly narrated. This is the best Crime Drama show. RIP Tiffany, Rachael, Marcus, Adelbert. May the Angels give you wings to fly
Your story telling and detail is so impressive. The cadence and tone of your voice is entrancing
I had a class with both of them. We didn't run in the same social circle, but they were both nice. We had just graduated and our lives were just starting đ
How incredibly heartbreaking for the father. Watching him plead with the police broke my heart. Great coverage of this case. I truly appreciate your channel (pun intended :)
ETA: and how sad that Adelbert moved there to get away from violence. đ„șđđđđŁ
This is my favourite channel about crime stories.
Saw this case on Forensic Files, thank you for the extended coverage. Very infuriating that she did this to her friends and that her boyfriend took his own life like a coward.
I have to say I've been bingeing your channel every night in bed. I'm completely obsessed. You guys are phenomenal. You tell these horrific stories greatly. The facts that are devolved are told perfectly.
This story is appalling & so heartbreaking. I saw it on "killer kids." I know I'm going to learn more here than any other. Such a betrayal.
Chris was a evil coward.
RIP Angel's đđŸâ€đ
Thank you again for another great job at telling these horrific stories.
God bless đđđŒđđđ
Wow!! Those composites were damn near portraits. Excellent witness and forensic artist!
I had already knew this story. But the way you share feels like I never heard it before. You shared a lot more than I knew before. Well done. This is sooo sad in so many ways.
It drives me crazy when I watch these scumbags cry in court feeling sorry for themselves not a single tear is shed for their victims it's all for themselves
This case is incredibly đ
When I think of how good Tiffany & Rachel were to Christine.. the only ones to be so good to her⊠that being every bullied girls dream, that the popular girls will befriend you.. all I can think is..
No Good Deed Goes Unpublished!
May They All, Rachel, Tiffany, Marcus, & Adelbert Rest In Peace đđŒ đ
This is just so awful everytime I hear it. 2 girls took Christine under their wing & genuinely cared about her for her to shoot them repeatedly & for what?
You do such a great job with each episode. I definitely prefer your channel to true crime on television. :)
They took her under their wings and she did unthinkable WTF is wrong with some people, monsters really do walk among us.
I don't think making friends to the ugly chick out of pity will make the ugly chick grateful. I wouldn't like that.
The forensic files episode "social circle" (it's on CZcams) on this always stuck with me as they show the bodies and crime scene. Really graphic
I agree I've seen all Forensic Files and that's one that I will never forget
@@katelinkeeney8903 Same here! That might be my favorite crime show of all time. I've probably seen every episode 10x over. It never gets old. I usually watch it in bed on my phone when I go to sleep lol. Now that I think of that maybe that's weird? đ
@Ben McMahon I completely agree! Peter's voice soothes the soul and the show was just perfect on so many levels. Have you watched FBI files at all? That's another good one with a great narrator. I still haven't checked out the FF reboot yet but I'll give it a try
@Ben McMahon Couldn't agree more Ben! Bill Kurtis is equally great to PT. Those 3 shows will never get old to me! Add in the narrator from first 48hours is very underrated as well. đ»đ»
@@cwatson42785 what platform are these shows available on? Hope they're available in my country đ€
Man the police can be quite cold hearted sometimes. Threatening to put the father in jail. Come on dude. Do better. He wasn't totally out of control. He said one thing. Oy. So sad when these parents lose their children so suddenly. I couldn't imagine. I have an autistic toddler and he's my world. All this senseless violence and murder is heartbreaking. Unfortunately there will always be evil and someone willing to let it in. Tell your loved ones you love them. đ
And he heard on the news too. Horrible.
Oh man I felt the same way like how you going to threaten a grieving parent that's not being belligerent? I pray the most high of Israel, blesses, protects, and enriches, your son mentally, physically, and spiritually be blessed!
@@yahchannanhowdavyah9660 ditto đ
I've been saying for 20 years that bullying should be punishable by expulsion. Parents need to immediately remove their children if the school does nothing. It is far too damaging to a child's psyche.
It is unfortunate that helping people is expressed by no good deed goes unpunished. Four innocent ppl tortured and murdered for having an open door. My deepest sympathies to the families and friends.
This documentary is masterful! You are a crew doing amazing things here, thank you!
You will drop this position as soon as it is denounced as racist.
@@eadweard. this comment isnât one bit as profound as you think itâs coming across
@@eadweard. in case you donât have the capacity to understand broader themes, the entire point of this video is to share this story about the victims and two criminals. Try to focus on the important things here.
Comes across as really shallow and conniving for you try to make some convoluted political point out of a video recognizing a horrific tragedy that affected a community. Youâre embarrassing.
@@tabittheha Even so.
@@eadweard. racist? What
Terrific work and professional presentation on this case, hon! Heard of it before but watching your channel was well worth it. In these cases that are horrific, you manage to find the humanity (as shown in Rachel and her broken-hearted father) and shine a light upon that for all of us. Bravo!
Excellent content. Iâve seen this case a few times and you covered so much more â
Idk what Christine was like before the drugs, but they completely change people. Not only destroying your body but also your brain. A lot of times, forever.
We donât want to believe that the ones we care about would do anything to hurt us, but drugs take #1 priority to an addict. They will things they never would have before. All for a fix. You can try to get them help, but at the end of the day... an addict has to want to help themselves.
Big time
I commend you on such a thorough covering of this tragic case. Iâve seen it on another channel and this one was far more in depth with more footage. Well done.
My condolences to the families
I watch so many crime/murder cases, but seeing the father just wanting to see his child, actually made me tear up, thinking of my own kids... How horrific.
Another riveting crime story, told perfectly. Thanks again!
Hearing her father beg for the officer to let him in the house was heartbreaking to say the leastâŠ
We love your content. You are the only one putting real crime photos and videos that show the real, gritty, crime and evidence. Others do it to a point but also include alot of stock that has nothing to do with what happened. I always understand and can follow the story too.
This is one of my favorite channels.
This case is so very sad. My heart goes out to the parents. đ
No good deed goes unpunished....
She betrayed the 2 people that actually cared for her. This made me mad, especially when you hear BS excuses. Clearly she had jealousy issues. Hearing Rachel was beaten n even shot in the V was disturbing n clearly it was personal. Overkill, is personal.
Hope Christine never gets out alive, she deserves to rot in prison n I hope her life in there is hell. My heart breaks for the 4 victims who died for nothing n had their whole lives ahead of them. May they Rest In Peace n sending prayers to their families đđđđ
Great analysis nancy drew. Any other obvious things you want to point out?
Nah think I made my point!
I've seen various true crime shows on this case, but never in such in depth detail or so sensitively done. Your channel really is wonderful at this, thankyou.
What a tragic loss of life for absolutely nothing đ„șđ€Ź
There quality of these crime docos are really good. Really accessible, authentic and not overly dramatic.
Lived down the street from their neighborhood . My kids went to the high school . This story was shocking for our community
Am I the only one wondering why it took three years for the closest friend to be a suspect?
This entire story was just heart-breaking. Great video.
Why would she dress in all black if she didnât intend to commit the murders with him. Two different guns, too. The neighborhood witnesses were the key in this one
Probably not the reason but maaaybe her job required her to wear all black?
YESSS!!!! Truly Criminal Sisters
Are BACK and I'm Here for it!!!!
SOOO Happy to see this video pop up today đđđ
Thanks Ladies, Love your channel đđ Best Wishes from Chicago đđ
Hey, I'm in Chi-Town, too!
@@loveforeignaccentsHey there!! đ Brutal Crimes Aside,
Most of my fondest memories are right here in the Chi where I'm born & raised đđ€Š... Quite Sad what it's turned into, really..
The whole world is spiralling completely out of control at this point đ¶đ
Didn't mean to make it sound like Beverly Hills earlier lol..
Thought I'd elaborate đđ
@@reneegoode9380 Well, we definitely have different opinions about that... so crime-ridden these days!!!
The reaction of that cop on the dad is a 1-0-1 "how not to". How come he was not informed beforehand? Shocking lack of conscience on behalf of the Police Dept.
You are an awesome storyteller. And your voice, although pleasant to listen to, perfectly suits true crime. And I mean that as a most sincere compliment!
Your narration is just perfection. Thank you. đ
Christine probably was deeply jealous of Rachel and Tiffany. After all they did for her, accepted her, loved her, she really chose a dude who also made fun of her over them.
He made her a drug addict⊠this is so sad because I believe in how drugs changes a person. This is so sad
Killing is not right, but killing 2 friends, that's dreadful...
So happy she's locked up for 40 years!
Not enough for me...
Oh 40 years before parole.
There's a possibility for no parole and she might die in prison...
Good đ
This is truly an awesome channel. I really like the narrator, she's great at covering true crime cases like this. Thank you so much..đ ..from Australia đŠđŠđș
Ah yes, my neck of the woods, one of the more messed up murders in the area.
You can't be bullied, like that girl was bullied, and not end up with a damaged human
being.
Still no excuse? Her low self esteem is her own issue. Plenty of us have been bullied and didnât resort to drugs, murder and being a general POS
I love this channel and I love the narrator's voice
Agreed. Very calming voice.
Yes!
Yet another terrific documentary production. Your Chanel is amazing!
Thank you for your update!
Iâve seen this case on Forensic Files. The coverage here was much more complete. They didnât even mention her husband much in the video. I respect him a lot for calling in the tip even though it was against his wife. Iâm so grossed out by the disgusting conditions they were living in but Iâm glad they were found before they died. Heroin is one hell of a dragon.
He probably called in the tip to get the reward to buy more drugs? That room was a garbage heap?! Don't hotels ever check on the room of long term residents?? I have a feeling the hotel we stayed in in Orlando was like this? We travelled from Australia and it looked great online. From the outside it was quite nice too...but once we got inside the place was putrid. My daughter had a shower and then lay on the bed and I asked what she had on her feet They were black. She said she didn't know and went back to she shower? Once again...black. It was the floor. It was so dirty that walking barefoot turned your feet black. There were people on foldup chairs drinking outside all the rooms and empty booze bottles all over the place. We changed hotels. I don't see how these people were there for a year and nobody saw that filth? Yuk.
He called in asa anonmous caller?
I remember this Case, I used to live in Clear lake it's a very nice place to live. I hope she is still in prison. đ€đđ
Who said you need to pay famous people to sell a product. You are as effective if not more. Youâre a natural. No acting needed. Iâve enjoyed your ads from the get go. Especially the first ones with singing and dancing, super funny. More power to you!!!
I'm in recovery I'm 6 years clean from heroin and although I've done things I'm ashamed of, I've never hurt anyone. She can't blame it on the drugs. That's who they are
