On October 3, 2018, police responded to the residence of Lynn Hernan for reports of a possible drug overdose. When authorities arrived, it looked obvious that Lynn may have taken her own life. However, her toxicology screen told a completely different story. She was killed using Visine eye drops. Her caretaker, Jessy Kurczewski, says that she must have used too many eye drops and caused her death. But police had a different explanation.
What are your thoughts on this case? Let's discuss in the comments.
Thank you guys for watching, hope to see you next time!

I know some viewers gripe because of the reflection in your glasses but I had to say … Rachel, you look so cute in your glasses. I love it.
Aw thank you!
❤
Same! She is adorable ❤
Agreed. 👍🏾 Also, a pretty lame gripe to have if you ask me.
So cute I agree !
That advert was so long that when it ended Id forgotten the subject and thought the video was over 🙈😂
Same
This happened with my grandma. They didn't kill her but they came in when she got sick. "family" we had never really met. I was 18 taking care of her. They told everyone I stole and wasnt taking care of her. When she passed no one told me....they threw away everything or sold it we don't know. My heart still aches 😔 I should not have left her
I'm so sorry. This happens all the time. You were young and care taking is a lot for anyone, a teenager shouldn't be responsible for an aging adult. At least not the primary. Please don't feel guilty for not being there. They pushed you out. I have no doubt she knows who loved her & who was using her. I just wish it was easier to prove it and charge people for abuse and fraud when they swoop in like this to scam & use an elder.
She should have been respected and loved. I really have no doubt she knew how you felt & would want you to let go of any guilt.
@@Cdtruecrime your words TRULY mean a lot to me. I'm 25 now and this is still heavy on my heart, but I won't forget what you said here. Much love 😘
♥️
I am literally so sad that this happened to you. I know exactly how this feels this just happened with my grandmother about 2 years ago and I am so so heartbroken to this day. And it's the fact that they got rid of every single thing that would have meant so much to me and my children. But as with you nobody told me when she passed away and I'm so heartbroken to know that she went alone after everything she had done for everyone...😢 but everything that was written in the comment below I definitely agree with so just try to keep your head up and all of those things in your mind. I am positive that is what your grandmother would have wanted! ❤ hugs😊
Omg, u look amazing ❤
So I’m watching the court case and they did show a pic of Lyn!! She’s actually very beautiful
Yes I saw in the court TV footage! Glad they showed her :)
Just saw it. She had a beautiful smile and looked full of life.
...do we know what her illness was?
This is terribly upsetting. I actually was a caretaker for 3 elderly ladies that I took care of for a long time. This disgusts me, to take advantage of a vulnerable little old lady. I began cleaning houses for them, which turned into me doing things just like this. Elderly people should perhaps be assigned an attorney Adli tum, or someone to look over their accounts. It just seems like there should be some system in place to keep an eye on things. Maybe the bank. If a little lady who has spent a certain amount every year, then suddenly runs up accounts on credit cards; the police should be notified. IDK?
I never thought about just how easy it would be for anyone to have access to a person so vulnerable. I guess it's human nature to think of other people as good, because that just the way good people think. But I know how trusting my friends were. By the time you care for someone so many years, you're more than employer employee, I genuinely cared deeply for all of them.
Now, just let me play the devil's advocate for a moment.
This is a lady I worked for many years cleaning her house. She probably was about 60-65 when I began working for her. A likeable lady who did charitable work off and on, still drove and was active, but there were hardcore prescription drugs everywhere. I would find them all over the floor, at least 20 sometimes more, pills that she dropped, so I would try to sort them and put them back in the bottles for her. I began to realize she had a drug problem. She still functioned, and paid me well, and I was very discreet. Then she began to drink heavily. She moved and didn't call me for a year or so. She calls me to her new apartment, and she was totally out of control. Drugs like amphetamines and tranquilizers everywhere, prescribed. Once every two weeks I would carry a large green trash bag full of half gallon whiskey bottles every time, sometimes 2. It sounds impossible, but I promise you it's true. This went on over the course of 5 or 6 years, and at this point she is basically bed ridden. She can still drive to get whiskey though and her medicine. One week, I go clean, and I see she has been prescribed a drug called Antabuse, and I realized she had been through rehab. So, I asked her about it. She told me her son made her go, and I was so happy.
But next time I came back, she was back at it. At this point the work was getting nasty, she was throwing up everywhere, she had a poor little dog that she didn't take care of that pooped everywhere. But mostly she was scaring me to death.I couldnt stop thinking about her. I knew one week I would show up, and she would be dead. It was killing me, I dreaded going. I loved this lady at this point, and I wanted to help her so bad. I lectured her, wheedled her, begged her to no avail. So, I looked up her son, I knew he worked at the post office. I go there ask for him and tell him what's going on. He says "Yeah, we know. We put her in rehab several times, but she just won't stop" So I leave. I went back the next week and I tell her that I can't come back, unless she goes back into rehab, I beg her to go. I just couldn't watch her kill herself. Thats what I told her. I guess I was hoping it might work. Foolish me. I know she probably died alone and drunk, and I feel guilty for that. I was young and had family, I could only handle so much.
Now, if I had been her caretaker, not just a house cleaner, hell even as a house cleaner, I could have totally taken advantage, written huge checks, stolen her credit cards, who knows? Right? On the other hand, here is a lady so sadly addicted to alcohol and drugs, that does such crazy things, spilling pills everywhere. No one would believe such an outlandish tale. It boggles the mind. How a little old lady can consume so much alcohol and so many drugs, that she spills bottles of the stuff. I wouldn't be surprised what she did, because it beggared belief. Truly you would have to see it to believe it. Thank heavens she was the exception, and I cared for several more ladies. I loved doing it. But I am just saying, there are desperate people out there that do crazy things
To be clear, this is one despicable human being. She profited off of a sick little old lady. Truly vile and sickening. Shes dangerous they should lock her up for life. She gives us all a bad name. All the good people that truly do care, will be looked at with such mistrust.
We need someone to watch over our little old ladies and gentlemen. That will be us someday. And you can learn so much. They have lived full lives and are dying for someone to talk to. And what a privilege it is to share such intimate moments with someone on a personal level. It has enriched my life. I never gained financially except the hourly wage I charged. Never more than I thought they could pay. But someone needs to be over seeing their care and their finances. To prevent such tragedies. They are truly the most vulnerable, along with children and disabled. We need to have protections of some sort in place! This case really makes me wake up and realize something needs to be done. It looks like it could potentially be a huge problem and they are the perfect murder victims.
I give the police credit on this case; she could so easily slip through the cracks. It's probably happening to someone somewhere right now.
Great point about having a system in place that will flag such suspicious activity. I too take care of the elderly and this happens way too often!
Too bad there isn’t an independent oversight organization that can assign advocates who can monitor the home-based care of and ultimately protect the wellbeing & interests of such vulnerable patients.
The wind up stealing from people. Trust, no one.
There are agencies that keep track of such things you mentioned. I am a home health care provider for my brother. They did a background check on me and everyone else who also helps him. However, the home health field, like many, are lacking in ‘options’ of people. It’s so sad!
There is, but it doesn't oversee friends of the family taking care of your loved one...there are actually several agencies that have oversight of the elderly care in our country
She was found guilty on all charges today. She sobbed as her fate was read. She will be sentenced 12/7/23 but the murder charge carries a mandatory life sentence. Lynn got justice.
The pink hair and round glasses are such a cute vibe. Miss seeing your sparkling beautiful blue eyes though. 😊
Aw thank you!
@@RachelShannon Loved the quick clothing and hair change at the beginning.
I came for True Crime but got a 30 minute infomercial for eye glasses.
Wow, with friends like her, who needs enemies.
Right…
This case is sad and just make me more aware when choosing my friends. Thanks for sharing this devastating story Rachel.❤
Also makes all us aware of why would we trust a stranger to care for our loved one, then after they die then family, friends are concerned. No one took care of my Nana but myself, spouse and son.
Girl, you are better than me lol. I make people deal with the reflection in my glasses otherwise I literally cannot see 🤣😂. Wonderful video as usual!
Rachel, I love the way you present each case. You do it with such style, grace, respect and knowledge!! ❤
I agree! Very disappointed with how tacky some other channels have become once they grew. Like making intros with stabbing or gunshot sounds. Wth, it's so disrespectful. But it makes Rachel shine even more
As sad as it is, but I strongly believe that what really happened is that Jessy took Lynn's (or Lyn) life.
Jessy sounds like not only someone with some serious gambling and greed issues, but also from what we know, she sounds like a narcissist with a savior complex.
Every time she described her relationship with Lynn, she painted herself as a selfless guardian angel when her actions are far far from that.
And it's a stark contrast, for the most part at least, from how others who actually cared about Lyn described her as.
Based on Jessy's criminal history, pattern of behavior, and how she changed her story several times whenever more evidence was brought up, I def believe she did this to Lynn for money.
She's selfish and is not very good at hiding it.
Also, on a lighter note, I loved the way you advertised the glasses.
You could be an ice saleswoman to polar bears imo.
She was being slowly poisoned by her help herself friend...they wanted long term care so they could monitor snd control her food and other intakes
I love watching and listening to your informative stories. Thank you Rachel!😊
Thanks for watching!!
Rachel has become my latest true crime bestie on CZcams since she has been so diligent and pampering us frequently with fascinating or crazy cases! Thanks a lot Rachel!
Thank You for the concise breakdown of this case. Trying to get caught up with it and you broke it down clearly without snarky comments and interruptions that get so annoying. You are a brilliant young lady and I am so glad I found your channel!🤗
I was poisoned with visine by a bartender who thought I was flirting with her boyfriend. I was with my husband and he sat down next to us. I talked to the police and they said it's your word against hers.....
Wow that's scary😮
Holy Sh*t that's horrible. Sorry that happened to you!! I have been a bartender for many many years, I would never think of ever doing anything vicious to any of my customers! There's enough terrible people out there in the world that I'm constantly watching out for to make sure they don't do anything to anyone's drinks. I have personally even kept some females drinks behind the bar as they went to the restroom to make sure they stayed safe. However I did get roofied by a female stripper one time and have heard many many terrible stories. Well I'm grateful to hear that you seem like you would be/ are okay... glad your husband was there with you! Is crazy thou🥺
That's crazy, I didn't even know you could be poisoned by visen!!?
@@m.s682ummmm ANY drug taken in large quantities kills.....I'm floored you wouldn't just figure that out alone....🤷🏼♀️🤣
😮😮😮
Found this after watching Jessie’s 2 hour sentencing statement today. Had never watched a moment of coverage before that. It’s crazy how she spun this to make herself look innocent
I hope you have the apple river stabbing case on your radar, would love to see something about it. stabbing happened last year and the trial is scheduled for april 2024, i think they were hoping for people to forget about it, it was so fucked up. there was also cell phone video of part of the attack as well so guy definitely did it.
Definitely haven't heard anything of this so definitely would be amazing if she would do a video on it!
Yes this is the first I've heard of this case. I LOVE to hear cases I'm unfamiliar with!
I just recently (in the past 3 days) heard about that case. I would love to hear what other ppl think about everything in the case! 😊👍
If you are in a coma you are not at home. You are in the hospital.
As for gambling I know Wisconsin has a ton of gaming places and not just at casinos.
I live in Northern Illinois by the Wisconsin border with family there and my husband's work is there. I've seen alot of road signs for attractions in Wisconsin with gambling machines and such at them.
It's getting that bad here in Illinois.
But, poor Lynn ended up with a con artist in her life and got ripped off badly. Even murdered.
My favorite true crime youtuber ❤❤❤
You’re too sweet!
Hi Rachel! Thanks for covering this case. I really enjoy watching and listening to your content 😊
You did a great job explaining details ❤❤❤❤ i appreciate you
You mean: cause of death - poisoning and MANNER of death - homicide, right? ❤
Yes my apologies!
Love watching your videos, always interesting and well researched, thank you for your hard work Rachel 💕
Thank you for watching!
Love your videos!
You make them so interesting! Thank you ❤
Cuuute glasses, girl! 💕 as if you couldn’t get any more adorable 💁🏼♀️
My sister and I have talked about this before, that you can kill someone with eye drops. I’m surprised I don’t see more cases like this.
I find it incredibly odd that there are no photos of the victim; what on earth? Thank you for covering this case anyways.
My condolences to Lynn and her loved ones.
I’m not sure either. However now that the trial has started you can find pics of her on google or court TV :)
Maybe there are more cases like this 👀
...I never heard of visine death until this case. How long has this been a thing??
I wonder why Jessie's mother allowed Jessie to assist then become Lyns carer? She knew what her daughter was like, why didn't she say something to Lyn ?
She's not to blame for her daughters actions but this is strange.
Exactly and where was the rest of the family that came out of the woodwork AFTER SHE DIED, to claim her estate, when she needed care?????
I wondered that too
I agree! It's amazing how much her family suddenly "cared" once she was gone! Shame on anyone who ignores or denies helping an ailing family member! 😢
@@Angel0fTruthnot everyone has the means to take care of someone else my friend.
@Thepolishedwxtch Not everyone but there were several that COULD have.
So sad. I watched the opening statements of the trial last week. I was just stunned! As of yet, I don’t see any reasonable doubt. Thank you for breaking this down!
To focus on the positive side of humanity, I'd just like to say bless you and thank you to every hospice care or home healthcare worker out there doing a good job. You are all superheroes. When my grandpa needed home healthcare, his nurses were angels. They'd bring a therapy dog and it really brought him so much joy. They also helped my grandma a ton by being emotional supports.
Thanks for sharing this case. You always do a great job telling a story and yes you look great in your 😮😢glasses.
Thank you so much!
Whew! That was the longest ad ever! Otherwise, once I got to the content, it was awesome! Thank you for doing this. I’ve seen this in the news as a brief blurb but haven’t been able to find a good summary of the case.
Jesse has a pattern of manipulation and fraud. I know ppl like this,sadly family. These ppl don't change,their selfishness and greed, is a never ending hunger. Ppl like Jesse,have no regard for life... they consider ppl their tools,to use and abuse,to benefit themselves. I 💯 believe,she was murdered, for her money. 💔 It's very sad,she was targeted by this Monster. I hope she receives justice,she was a beautiful,caring person...who trusted the wrong person. May she RIP🕊️🍃
I absolutely love you i never miss a case from you ❤
Love that!! Thanks for being here ♥️
You look incredible as per usual ❤❤❤
As thank you! You’re too sweet
Retired nurse of 40 yrs. You taught me a new thing. I would never have thought Visine Eye drops ingested orally would kill. I ended my nursing career working nights in the prison. Had female inmate in MEDICAL who when officer wasn't looking & nurse had to answer phone. Inmate whipped that 70% proof hand sant. Off wall drank it. She got drunk but it turns into wood grain ETOH. If ever I heard a nurse say I know EVERYTHING. Run in meds it conts to change & I learn👍🏻
Thank you so much for your presentation
Those glasses are so cute on you! Adorable
She wouldn't have left her cats! The caretaker was full of lies and obviously had a game plan- I don't know anybody who would continue to make themselves feel terrible in an attempt to leave this world. That was done to her😢
Exactly!
Your hair looks soo good😍
Aw thank you!
I watch you and Annie Elise EVERY night to go to sleep. Love your videos
I think Jessie is an extremely selfish individual and a killer. What a sad story
Agreed.
I know you didn't choose for your comment to be selected as the only one I could see under the video ( on my phone) but this totally ruined the whole video for me
@@MorellaDeville how? The comment doesn't say anything more than the actual title of the video.
@@lisalu7343 except the name of the killer. I know its you probably figured it out as soon as she was mentioned, but it might have been nice to discover that Jessie is the killer by listening to the story.
@@MorellaDeville Jessy’s name is also in the title.
Just found your channel & you are one of the most interesting crime story tellers.😊
Like, why would you crush up a bunch of drugs to take your life (or stage it) then injest a bunch of eye drops instead? I feel so bad for Lynn and her family and friends who know that she was in a bad way but didnt want this.
Hi Rachel🥰
Thank you for all your hard work.
Have a blessed day.🙏🏽❤️🥰😍😘😊🤗😉💐🌷⚘️🌹❤️🙏🏽
Thanks for watching! You do the same 😊
@RachelShannon You're welcome and thank you as well.❤️🥰😍😘💐🌷⚘️🌹👊🏽👍🏽❤️
Jessy is most certainly a thief but that doesn't make her a killer. Of course, she could have manipulated Lynn into committing suicide.
Very good point.
She is a killer though, because people don’t end their own lives with eye drops. It’s obvious Jesse staged a lot of it to make it look like a suicide when it clearly wasn’t. It’s crazy what people would do to steal from someone vulnerable.
Definitely a killer and now a convicted one.
Hi Rachel! You look so pretty as always... Beautiful hair and I love you in glasses!
I’m new here and I already love your channel and how you tell the stories!
Bailey sarian.....
@@CourTooKnee I also watch her.
As a resident of Wisconsin I love listening to you guys try to pronounce our city names.
Haha it’s tough 😂
This was highly informative as I only watched this after this lady was found guilty today. Rest in peace Lynne.
I'll have the popcorn ready to go
So… do we not know what condition Lynn had? I was wondering the entire video and thought you were going to say?
We don’t know what her exact health issues are at this time. It might be brought up at trial
@@RachelShannon if I had to speculate… I’m saying MS 🤔 it’s terrible she felt ashamed/embarrassed about it.
Rachel you always look fabulous in your choice oh hair colors I love it wish I could do the same and look that good. Always like your content. 👍💖😊
The stories murderers come up with is amusing.
Love the glasses!
The “cousins & Friends” That came foward imo only came forward due to the money that Lin had. So if I was an investigator I wouldn’t rely too much on those “all of a sudden concerned family members/friends “I watched the trial and a lot of these people wouldn’t even check on Lyn . Exactly why Lyn was so close to Jessy
I just started this and already feel so weird bc Lynn and I share a birthday. I usually choose to not watch these if they share a birthday w my kids or I, just bc it makes me weird. But I can’t skip a Rachel video 🫣
It definitely feels different when cases have connections to our own lives for sure. But thanks for watching anyways :)
You wear glasses?!!! I love it.
Glasses look great!! Thank you for the video❤
Thanks for watching!
Did you put darker color in your hairs? That’s beautiful 😻
Ouch, all about those eyes windows to the soul (if I believe in such things which I do not) also very good way to get poisoned into your circulatory system really quick.
Nothing better than eating sweets and watching Rachel on an evening 😁💛
Love your videos can you do some in the UK please
Wish we knew what made her so ill!
Rachel gtsy lovely 🌈🩷🩵💛 you really suit all glasses 🤓 true crime time ☕🕵️♂️🤔🧐 Thank you for all you do to bring awareness to these cases 🫶❤️
This is such a cute look!
Hey sending love from Chicago i know the hassel with finding glasses. Smooches 😘
That’s my home city!! ♥️
Those glasses are so cute on you!!
Oh thank you!
Love your hair
Your
Thank you!
Love those glasses on you
If Jessy had power of attorney, could it be that Jessy had been answering or directing Lynn’s care?!!
OMG! 🤦♀️The first whole 5 MINUTES is a sponsored ad! No thanks! 🙄
I found a photo of Lynn but I can’t share it ☹️
It’s being showed in the court TV coverage. Otherwise if I do a follow up on this case I’ll show the photo :)
Where do you post the updates? I see you always say when the trial is over I’ll update or any new news I’ll update but I can’t find updates. Not trying to sound rude just really would like to know and love your videos ❤
My aunt was very cunning like Jessi. When her brother finally received verification that he’d receive around $1M in benefits from Black Lung (coal mining) she started taking him to doctors appts, and just always kinda being present although He had a wife and 3 grown kids. When he passed, she forged a will and had a notary public witness it, along with one of her daughters. Everything was “left to her” including his house and land. But get this, the house and land only needed $3,000 to be paid off, in full. It was written that once it was paid off it went to her, so his wife paid the remainder then had to move out! She was a very deceptive, evil person. She died of Covid less than 2 yrs after he did so she didn’t benefit from her evil ways but her family are. Her husband and 5 daughters have benefited from it.
This kind of thing happens way too often. Judges and courts don’t really care so it’s not like they are going to figure it out.
I have 2 pairs of RX glasses. One pair in my purse and one on my desk or on me at home:)
Well, I already see a problem. You've said that she wouldn't let the friends or family see her that way and she didn't have friends and family. So which one is it?
6:23 I thought it was another commercial lol, you guys …. Skip does exist ❤
I love you Rachel 💟
Sometimes (more often than one would think), family members will steal the money. They will live with the person, take the money, then drop the elderly person at the hospital and leave them there. The hospital can't discharge unless family can care for the person and if they don't answer the phone, then the hospital is plain screwed.
Then why did Jessy’s mother (Jennifer), introduced her thief, criminal daughter to help Lynn, a vulnerable woman ?!😢, Yet she knew Lyn was an older vulnerable lady ? It came out that Jennifer was the one friends with Llynn, and that’s how Jessy started going to her !
Do the case of the bail bondsman from hannibal mo. It happened in the late nineties or early 2000s. It is WILD. I've got so much info on it. Or the Christina Whittaker case.
Hallo i think you are making a great job , i wish and hope that you get more view and suggest to add some background tense music, and seggest simply watch other channel how they do it , because of your soft and nice character i suggest to watch the chapter , and read some books (one is enogh about story telling ) i realy hope all the best for u
Why do these killers often show their hand by calling investigators numerous times claiming to be concerned?
She self snitched herself into life in prison.
How incredibly sad to not be able to find even one photo of lynn
The title caught me immediately! Eye drops?! Jeez, back in my hs days ppl would put a couple drops in others drink as a "joke" bc it would give them the shi-ca-ca's! This is disturbing in the title alone! Tuning in now! 👍
Yes!! This was a well-known prank in my teens. Visine making someone have to go the bathroom !! 🚽
Lovvve your fuchsia tresses.
You are a lot nicer to watch than the lore lodge.
How do these people believe that they are going to get away with it when they lie and change their story about a hundread times🙄
The ads at beginning made me atop....just being honest
Greed always exposes these people, if she had taken a portion of Lynn's estate it would've looked less suspicious 🙄 however these people tend to try and take everything! Greedy and evil!
Honestly over 4 minutes of advertising? This is my first time to this channel and I pay for my you tube subscription to avoid ads and I get everyone with you tube channels seek promotional content for profit but this is by far the longest one I’ve been through. I couldn’t believe I had to forward through it that amount of time
*that being said, I hope the rest of the video is worth watching and hitting those like and subscribe buttons! 😮
If the family was so involved this would have never happened.
Please use green background and tense music
Oh this one is wild i Heard of it
I love her glasses
Hey Rachel 🩷
