Latest / Crime and Horror / Top 3 SCARIEST murders Halloween Scare-A-Thon (part 7)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: A couple of days ago, I was researching topics for
- 0:02Speaker 1: this channel and I found this amazing true crime case
- 0:05Speaker 1: from the nineteen eighties, and I began researching it and
- 0:08Speaker 1: the first thing that pops up is HBO Max has
- 0:11Speaker 1: just released a six part docudrama called The Murder at
- 0:15Speaker 1: the White House Farms and it's covering this case. And
- 0:18Speaker 1: so I'm like, oh, great, I'll watch the first ten
- 0:20Speaker 1: minutes of the first episode.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It'll give me a good.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Mental picture for this story when I cover it on
- 0:25Speaker 1: my channel.
- 0:26Speaker 2: And I hit play on.
- 0:27Speaker 1: The first episode and literally stayed up all night binge
- 0:30Speaker 1: watching all six episodes.
- 0:32Speaker 2: It's so good. The show is so good.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I already knew what was going to happen and I
- 0:37Speaker 1: loved it. The acting is incredible. They have three actors
- 0:40Speaker 1: from the Game of Thrones that are lead characters in
- 0:42Speaker 1: the show, and that's a big deal. Game of Thrones
- 0:45Speaker 1: is pretty epic.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Tuoes.
- 0:46Speaker 1: The next morning, I opened my emails and sitting in
- 0:49Speaker 1: my inbox is a message from HBO Max saying, Hey,
- 0:52Speaker 1: we'd love it if you could help us promote our
- 0:54Speaker 1: new show, The Murder at the White House Farms. And
- 0:57Speaker 1: I thought that was so funny. I'm like, that's a sign.
- 1:00Speaker 1: So I'd like to give a huge thanks to HBO
- 1:02Speaker 1: Max for sponsoring today's video. The link to their brand
- 1:06Speaker 1: new six part docudrama called The Murders at the White
- 1:09Speaker 1: House Farms is in my description below, but be careful
- 1:12Speaker 1: if you click on it. It is a very addicting show.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And if you're still on the fence about it and
- 1:17Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know if I want to watch
- 1:19Speaker 1: this or not, well, the first story I'm covering today
- 1:22Speaker 1: on my top three lists is the Murders at the
- 1:25Speaker 1: White House Farm. But before we get started, please invite
- 1:27Speaker 1: the Light Button over to your house for a sleepover,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and then while they're sleeping, buzz a square of hair
- 1:32Speaker 1: off their head.
- 1:33Speaker 2: All right, let's get into today's stories.
- 1:52Speaker 1: At three twenty six am on August seventh, nineteen eighty five,
- 1:55Speaker 1: a very distraught man called the police and he said,
- 1:58Speaker 1: I think my father is in danger.
- 2:00Speaker 2: He lives down the road for me.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I was just on the phone with him and it
- 2:04Speaker 1: seems like something is totally wrong. Can you please go
- 2:06Speaker 1: check on him? The police tell him to calm down
- 2:10Speaker 1: and explain, really what's going on here? What happened on
- 2:12Speaker 1: the phone, and so the man whose name was Jeremy,
- 2:14Speaker 1: said his dad called him and he was talking about
- 2:17Speaker 1: his daughter, So Jeremy's sister, and her name was Sheila,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and he's like, Sheila's gone crazy, she's gone berserk, and
- 2:23Speaker 1: I think she has a gun. And Jeremy's telling police
- 2:26Speaker 1: that he didn't know what his dad was talking about,
- 2:27Speaker 1: and he's trying to get more information.
- 2:29Speaker 2: From his dad.
- 2:30Speaker 1: He's like, what do you mean she's got a gun?
- 2:32Speaker 1: What's going on over there? But at some point in
- 2:34Speaker 1: this phone call with his father, the phone line just
- 2:36Speaker 1: cuts out, and Jeremy's left with all these questions that
- 2:39Speaker 1: have gone unanswered. He tried calling back, but it didn't
- 2:42Speaker 1: go through, and that's when he called the police. The
- 2:44Speaker 1: police asked Jeremy if he had heard any shots fired
- 2:47Speaker 1: in the background before the phone cut out, and Jeremy says, no,
- 2:50Speaker 1: but my sister is schizophrenic. She's got a bad temper,
- 2:54Speaker 1: and she had been fighting with my parents all week,
- 2:56Speaker 1: in particular with my dad, and right before the phone
- 2:59Speaker 1: cut out out, my dad sounded really scared like something
- 3:02Speaker 1: bad was about to happen or was happening, And so
- 3:05Speaker 1: we need to get over there right now, and so
- 3:07Speaker 1: the police say, okay, we're going to check it out
- 3:09Speaker 1: right now. So they hang up with Jeremy and the
- 3:11Speaker 1: police head down the road towards White House Farms, where
- 3:14Speaker 1: Jeremy's father lives. They park a little ways away from
- 3:17Speaker 1: the house itself, safely behind a wall and some trees,
- 3:20Speaker 1: because they don't want to go too close in case
- 3:22Speaker 1: she liberally does have a gun and starts shooting at them.
- 3:25Speaker 1: As the police are getting out of their vehicle, another
- 3:27Speaker 1: car comes driving down the road from the same direction
- 3:30Speaker 1: the police had come from. The police tell them to stop,
- 3:33Speaker 1: and the person gets out and it turns out it's Jeremy.
- 3:35Speaker 2: He didn't live that far.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Away, and he comes running over and he's like, we
- 3:38Speaker 1: got to go in there. You have to go in
- 3:39Speaker 1: there right now, and the police are like, we're not
- 3:41Speaker 1: going to do that. You stay with your car. Before
- 3:44Speaker 1: the police were prepared to go into this house, they
- 3:46Speaker 1: wanted to scope it out and get a sense of
- 3:48Speaker 1: what was going on because they really didn't know anything
- 3:50Speaker 1: about the house besides what Jeremy told them. So a
- 3:53Speaker 1: small group of police officers goes behind this other building
- 3:56Speaker 1: that's kind of adjacent to the White House farms, but
- 3:58Speaker 1: pretty close to the actual farmhouse, and they go around
- 4:01Speaker 1: the backside and they peek around the corner and they
- 4:04Speaker 1: start looking at the house and it's still dark outside,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and there's a couple of lights on inside the house,
- 4:09Speaker 1: and there's no movement, there's no sound, and they're just
- 4:11Speaker 1: staring at it. And then one of the officers notices
- 4:14Speaker 1: movement or what he thinks his movement up in the
- 4:16Speaker 1: second floor, and the group of them back up behind
- 4:19Speaker 1: the building. They didn't want to be seen. They were
- 4:21Speaker 1: worried if Sheila saw them, it would trigger her to
- 4:23Speaker 1: harm the other people in the house or harm herself.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So they back up away from this building, making sure
- 4:28Speaker 1: to stay out of sight of that second floor window
- 4:30Speaker 1: and really.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Out of sight of any of the windows on this farmhouse.
- 4:33Speaker 1: And they go back to the intersection where the police
- 4:36Speaker 1: cars are and where Jeremy is, and they decide they're
- 4:38Speaker 1: going to take the diplomatic approach, and so they call
- 4:40Speaker 1: in and negotiat her, who with a bullhorn, goes up
- 4:44Speaker 1: behind that little building and they start calling out to Sheila,
- 4:47Speaker 1: trying to get her to peacefully put her weapon down
- 4:50Speaker 1: and come outside, but there's no sound in the house.
- 4:52Speaker 1: There's no more movement in the house as far as
- 4:54Speaker 1: anyone can tell. And this turns into a multi hour
- 4:57Speaker 1: long standoff where no one comes out of the house,
- 5:00Speaker 1: no one goes into the house, and then the sun
- 5:02Speaker 1: comes up and the police are starting to get frustrated,
- 5:05Speaker 1: and so they eventually call the negotiator back and they say, Okay,
- 5:08Speaker 1: we're gonna need.
- 5:08Speaker 2: To make entry.
- 5:09Speaker 1: A small group of police assaulters began making their way
- 5:12Speaker 1: up towards the farmhouse. They get up to the door,
- 5:15Speaker 1: it's locked. They try the other door, it's locked. All
- 5:17Speaker 1: the windows are locked, and so they bring up a
- 5:19Speaker 1: sledgehammer smashed on the front door, and they make entry
- 5:22Speaker 1: into this hallway. They immediately make a right and they're
- 5:24Speaker 1: getting ready to confront Sheila wherever she is.
- 5:27Speaker 2: But they don't see her.
- 5:28Speaker 1: They go all the way down this hallway and it
- 5:30Speaker 1: opens up into the kitchen, and hunched over the stove
- 5:33Speaker 1: is a man who's clearly deceased, who winds up being
- 5:35Speaker 1: Jeremy's father. He had been shot to death and he's
- 5:38Speaker 1: laying in the kitchen, so they find him. They scan
- 5:40Speaker 1: the rest of the kitchen and they look all around
- 5:42Speaker 1: the first floor and there's no one else down there,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and this whole time they're not hearing any other noises
- 5:46Speaker 1: in the house. It's totally silent. They make their way
- 5:49Speaker 1: upstairs and as soon as they get to the top
- 5:51Speaker 1: of the stairs, they go right into the first room
- 5:54Speaker 1: on the right, and laying on the bed is a
- 5:56Speaker 1: deceased older woman who's also been shot to death, and
- 5:58Speaker 1: that would wind up being Jeremy's mother. Laying on the
- 6:01Speaker 1: ground next to the bed was a woman who appeared
- 6:04Speaker 1: to be in her late twenties who would wind up
- 6:06Speaker 1: being Jeremy's sister.
- 6:07Speaker 2: So Sheila the.
- 6:08Speaker 1: One who had gone berserk, apparently according to the father.
- 6:11Speaker 1: She's laying on the ground and she has a rifle
- 6:13Speaker 1: that's over her chest and the barrel is pointed up
- 6:16Speaker 1: towards her head, and she has a gunshot woman that's
- 6:19Speaker 1: going in underneath her chin, and so she's deceased as well.
- 6:21Speaker 1: The police leave that room. They go across the hall
- 6:24Speaker 1: into another bedroom, and when they go inside they find
- 6:27Speaker 1: two more bodies that are both laying in their beds.
- 6:30Speaker 1: They were six year old twins. They were Sheila's sons.
- 6:33Speaker 1: They had both been shot to death as well. After that,
- 6:35Speaker 1: there was nobody else in the house, so all of
- 6:38Speaker 1: the family has been wiped out very quickly. This case
- 6:41Speaker 1: was labeled a clear cut murder suicide perpetrated by Sheila.
- 6:45Speaker 1: She had a history of mental illness, she had apparently
- 6:48Speaker 1: gone berserk that night, and she had a gun. Everything fit,
- 6:51Speaker 1: and so the police were ready to just write this
- 6:54Speaker 1: off as a murder suicide, especially with the amount of
- 6:57Speaker 1: media attention this case. Scott, there was a lot of
- 7:00Speaker 1: pressure to just solve this case and move on, and
- 7:03Speaker 1: so murder suicide became the answer, and they were not
- 7:07Speaker 1: looking for any other answer. But there was one detective
- 7:10Speaker 1: that was not willing to accept that this was clearly
- 7:13Speaker 1: a murder suicide, and he had a couple reasons for it.
- 7:16Speaker 1: The first thing he noticed, because he was there when
- 7:18Speaker 1: the bodies were discovered, was Sheila was carrying a rifle
- 7:22Speaker 1: that had a ten round magazine, and Sheila did not
- 7:25Speaker 1: have any pockets on the clothes she had on when
- 7:27Speaker 1: they found her. That's important because she fired twenty five shots,
- 7:31Speaker 1: so that required two reloads, except the ammunition to this
- 7:35Speaker 1: gun was downstairs and a lot of the shooting happened upstairs.
- 7:39Speaker 1: So after her first volley of fire on the second floor,
- 7:42Speaker 1: where presumably you have at least a couple people that
- 7:45Speaker 1: are still totally alive, she had to walk downstairs, reload
- 7:49Speaker 1: the gun, come back upstairs, do her second volley of fire,
- 7:53Speaker 1: go back downstairs, reload that second time, and then she
- 7:56Speaker 1: finishes her course of fire. And it made him wonder
- 7:58Speaker 1: why didn't anybody try to stop her while she was
- 8:01Speaker 1: doing the reload, Because it required going all the way down,
- 8:04Speaker 1: getting the rounds, jamming them into the magazine, putting it
- 8:06Speaker 1: into the gun, and then going back upstairs. That's a
- 8:09Speaker 1: lot of time that other people could have potentially tried
- 8:12Speaker 1: to stop her, or at a minimum, just.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Tried to escape. But it was like everybody just laid
- 8:17Speaker 2: in bed. It was like they didn't know what was happening,
- 8:19Speaker 2: despite so many rounds being fired very close to them.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Stan also found out Shila did not have extensive weapons training,
- 8:26Speaker 1: and so she wouldn't be natural at reloading a weapon,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and so for her to go down and reload twice
- 8:32Speaker 1: and not chip any of her nails, she had long
- 8:34Speaker 1: painted nails that seemed like a bit of a stretch,
- 8:37Speaker 1: because that requires pretty coordinated movements and for her to
- 8:41Speaker 1: never have done that before and just to be able
- 8:43Speaker 1: to easily reload that seems like a stretch too. Stan
- 8:46Speaker 1: also figured out there was a window that had a
- 8:48Speaker 1: faulty latch on it that if you pulled lightly on it,
- 8:51Speaker 1: it would stay locked, but if you pulled hard and
- 8:53Speaker 1: kind of jostled it around, it could open and it
- 8:56Speaker 1: could shut, which means the house was not secure when
- 8:59Speaker 1: they got there, even though they thought it was, and
- 9:01Speaker 1: that was a big part of their whole This is
- 9:03Speaker 1: a murder suicide because Sheila locked all the doors and
- 9:06Speaker 1: windows before she committed this crime. But if any of
- 9:09Speaker 1: those doors or windows were open, it kind of leaves
- 9:11Speaker 1: open the opportunity for someone else to have gotten in
- 9:14Speaker 1: there and gotten out before the police. But the biggest
- 9:17Speaker 1: discovery by far that puts all the others to shame
- 9:21Speaker 1: is something stand found under the stairs inside the house
- 9:25Speaker 1: and everything before that, all the evidence that Stan was
- 9:27Speaker 1: presenting to the other officers saying, hey.
- 9:30Speaker 2: We should take a look at this. I don't know
- 9:32Speaker 2: if this is a murder suicide.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I think there might be potential for somebody else to
- 9:35Speaker 1: be responsible. Well, no one was taking him seriously until
- 9:39Speaker 1: he came to the table with what he found underneath
- 9:42Speaker 1: the stairs, everybody had to stop what they were doing
- 9:45Speaker 1: and say, okay, yeah, we need to look closer at this.
- 9:49Speaker 1: And so if you want to learn more about that,
- 9:51Speaker 1: go ahead and click on the link inside of the description.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It will bring you to the landing page where you
- 9:55Speaker 1: can watch this series that I've been raving about. It's
- 9:58Speaker 1: on HBO Max and it's called The Murders the White
- 10:00Speaker 1: House Farm and it does a great job of showcasing
- 10:02Speaker 1: this huge vine.
- 10:03Speaker 2: And then the follow on plot twist.
- 10:09Speaker 1: On the morning of November thirteenth, nineteen seventy four, six
- 10:13Speaker 1: members of the Dafeo family were asleep in their home
- 10:16Speaker 1: in Amityville, New York. The seventh member of the family, Ron,
- 10:19Speaker 1: was sitting on his bed in the basement. At around
- 10:22Speaker 1: one am, he gets up off his bed, he grabs
- 10:24Speaker 1: a rifle and he starts walking up the stairs. He
- 10:27Speaker 1: goes across the first floor, goes up the second floor stairs,
- 10:30Speaker 1: and he gets to the second floor landing and he
- 10:32Speaker 1: walks right into his parents' bedroom, which was totally dark
- 10:35Speaker 1: besides this little candle that had been lit next to
- 10:37Speaker 1: his father's bedside, and he raises his rifle and he
- 10:40Speaker 1: puts two rounds into his father's back, and then as
- 10:43Speaker 1: soon as his father is still, he aims at his
- 10:45Speaker 1: mother and he shoots her two times. And then he
- 10:47Speaker 1: puts the gun down and he walks out, and he
- 10:50Speaker 1: goes across the hall into his brother's room. He raises
- 10:52Speaker 1: his rifle and he fires one shot into his twelve
- 10:54Speaker 1: year old brother Mark, and then he aims at his
- 10:57Speaker 1: nine year old brother John and he fires one shot
- 10:59Speaker 1: into him as well. Then he leaves their bedroom and
- 11:01Speaker 1: he walks down the hall to another bedroom where he
- 11:04Speaker 1: finds his thirteen year old sister Allison. He raises his
- 11:07Speaker 1: rifle and he fires one shot. He leaves her room.
- 11:10Speaker 1: He goes up the third set of stairs, up onto
- 11:12Speaker 1: the third floor, finds his eighteen year old sister Dawn,
- 11:15Speaker 1: and he fires one shot into her, and then he
- 11:17Speaker 1: was done. Altogether, it took Ron about fifteen minutes to
- 11:21Speaker 1: massacre his family. At no point was he panicked or
- 11:24Speaker 1: running around or acting crazy. He was just walking calmly
- 11:28Speaker 1: room to room, taking very well aimed shots to ensure
- 11:31Speaker 1: they didn't get up again. He put the rifle down
- 11:33Speaker 1: and he went outside and he jogged to a bar
- 11:36Speaker 1: where he went inside and he put on this big
- 11:38Speaker 1: facade that he had just found his family and they
- 11:40Speaker 1: were hurt and could you come help him. And when
- 11:43Speaker 1: they got to the house, he refused to go inside,
- 11:46Speaker 1: but the people from the bar went inside and they
- 11:48Speaker 1: discovered this horrible scene. And when the police show up,
- 11:51Speaker 1: Ron goes over to them and he actually confesses and says,
- 11:54Speaker 1: I killed my family. Even though the Dafeo family had
- 11:57Speaker 1: a reputation for being very dysfunctional, it was Ron who
- 12:01Speaker 1: had the worst reputation. He was known around Amityville for
- 12:05Speaker 1: heavy drug use, for being a total alcoholic, and forgetting
- 12:08Speaker 1: really aggressive and confrontational with people. He was just a
- 12:11Speaker 1: guy no one wanted to be around. And so when
- 12:14Speaker 1: news got out in Amityville that this horrible thing has
- 12:17Speaker 1: happened and it looks like Ron is the one who
- 12:19Speaker 1: did it, no one was really that shocked. But when
- 12:21Speaker 1: details of the crime scene, specifically the way the bodies
- 12:24Speaker 1: were positioned, made people wonder is there more to this
- 12:28Speaker 1: case that we don't know about. All of the de
- 12:30Speaker 1: Feo family members had been found lying face down in
- 12:33Speaker 1: their beds, and none of them showed any signs of
- 12:36Speaker 1: putting up a struggle against their attacker, which led investigators
- 12:40Speaker 1: initially to think that they must have been sedated, that
- 12:43Speaker 1: Ron must have drugged them.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Somehow before he carried out this attack.
- 12:47Speaker 1: But when the toxicology reports came back, no one in
- 12:50Speaker 1: the family had any substance in their system. At first,
- 12:53Speaker 1: the police did not think that was a very big deal.
- 12:55Speaker 1: They figured, you know what, the family just must not
- 12:58Speaker 1: have heard the different gunshots. He wasn't shooting lots of rounds.
- 13:00Speaker 1: It was, you know, one single round here, one single
- 13:03Speaker 1: round here, that perhaps they just didn't hear it, and
- 13:06Speaker 1: that's why no one tried to escape. But it turns
- 13:08Speaker 1: out the rifle Ron was using, the thirty five caliber Marlin,
- 13:12Speaker 1: is one of the loudest rifles you can own, and
- 13:15Speaker 1: in fact, investigators went out and did a test with
- 13:17Speaker 1: it and they fired it indoors and you could easily
- 13:20Speaker 1: hear it a mile away, And so investigators said, well,
- 13:23Speaker 1: then it looks like they must have heard these gunshots,
- 13:25Speaker 1: but for some reason didn't get out of their beds.
- 13:28Speaker 1: They didn't try to fight back in any way. They
- 13:30Speaker 1: just kind of took it. And then you have the
- 13:32Speaker 1: weirdness of Ron's confession.
- 13:34Speaker 2: On the night of the.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Attack, when Ron is sitting on his bed and he
- 13:37Speaker 1: can't sleep and everybody else is asleep upstairs, he starts
- 13:40Speaker 1: hearing a voice in his head that's saying, coach them gold,
- 13:45Speaker 1: and he thinks he's just losing his mind. But then
- 13:47Speaker 1: out of the shadows, straight across from him, from underneath
- 13:50Speaker 1: the steps in the basement, the shadowy figure emerges and
- 13:54Speaker 1: starts walking towards him, and he can see what looks
- 13:56Speaker 1: like its mouth moving and saying the words, and Ron's
- 14:02Speaker 1: looking up at it as this figure walks all the
- 14:04Speaker 1: way up to him and bends down and gets right
- 14:06Speaker 1: next to his ear, and he says right into his.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Ear, touch them, kill them.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And then Ron said, involuntarily, he reached over to the
- 14:13Speaker 1: rifle that was on the bed with him, and he
- 14:15Speaker 1: stood up, and he began walking towards the steps, and
- 14:18Speaker 1: he knew what was going to happen. He was going
- 14:20Speaker 1: to go kill his family, and he didn't want to
- 14:22Speaker 1: do it, but he felt like he didn't have any
- 14:24Speaker 1: more control over his body. And that's when he realized
- 14:27Speaker 1: he was being possessed by this demon in the basement.
- 14:29Speaker 1: While Ron's confession terrified everybody in Amityville. The idea that
- 14:34Speaker 1: there was a demon living in the basement of this
- 14:36Speaker 1: house that possessed someone to go kill their family.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I mean that terrified everybody.
- 14:41Speaker 1: But it didn't hold up in court, and ultimately Ron
- 14:43Speaker 1: was sent to jail for life. One year after the attacks,
- 14:47Speaker 1: another family, the Lutz family, moved into the house in Amityville,
- 14:51Speaker 1: but they left twenty eight days later because they were
- 14:53Speaker 1: hearing voices coming from the basement after hearing about the
- 14:56Speaker 1: mass murder that occurred in the house, and now the
- 14:59Speaker 1: Lutz family saying there's something in the basement. World renowned
- 15:03Speaker 1: demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren they descend on the property
- 15:07Speaker 1: and very quickly Ed and the Rain say, yes, this
- 15:09Speaker 1: house is definitely haunted, and in fact, to this day,
- 15:13Speaker 1: the Amityville House is considered one of the most haunted places.
- 15:16Speaker 2: In the entire world.
- 15:18Speaker 1: But while Ed and Lorraine were there, they took a
- 15:20Speaker 1: very famous picture. Lorraine was walking around the second floor
- 15:24Speaker 1: near where the brother's room was, and she was snapping
- 15:26Speaker 1: pictures and the only people in the house at the
- 15:29Speaker 1: time these pictures were being taken were her and her
- 15:31Speaker 1: husband Ed. And here is the picture that she took
- 15:34Speaker 1: on the second floor. She claims this boy standing on
- 15:37Speaker 1: the left side of the picture is the ghost of
- 15:38Speaker 1: John DeFeo.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Today the house still stands, and.
- 15:41Speaker 1: It's been bought and sold a number of times over
- 15:43Speaker 1: the years because apparently no one likes to live in
- 15:46Speaker 1: this house for a very long time. On June tenth,
- 15:53Speaker 1: nineteen twelve, the More family was sleeping peacefully in their
- 15:56Speaker 1: beds on their quiet street in Velliska, Iowa and Sarah Moore.
- 16:00Speaker 1: The mother and the father were asleep upstairs in their room,
- 16:04Speaker 1: and their four children were down the hall in another room.
- 16:06Speaker 2: In addition to the.
- 16:07Speaker 1: More families sleeping upstairs, there was also two more children
- 16:10Speaker 1: sleeping on the first floor in the guest room. It
- 16:12Speaker 1: was the Stillinger sisters and they were over for a sleepover.
- 16:15Speaker 1: And unbeknownst to all the sleeping people in the house,
- 16:18Speaker 1: there was a strange man who had broken into the
- 16:20Speaker 1: house while they were at church, gone into the attic
- 16:23Speaker 1: and was hiding in there, smoking cigarettes and carrying an axe.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Shortly after midnight, the stranger believed the coast was clear,
- 16:31Speaker 1: and they silently opened up the small door and they
- 16:33Speaker 1: crouched down and walked out of the attic into the
- 16:36Speaker 1: second floor hallway. Wielding this axe in their left hand.
- 16:39Speaker 1: They began walking down the hallway. They passed the children's
- 16:42Speaker 1: room on their right, and they made their way down
- 16:44Speaker 1: to the end of the hall where the master bedroom was.
- 16:46Speaker 1: They walked inside the room and stood right next to
- 16:48Speaker 1: Joe and then violently raised the axe over their head
- 16:52Speaker 1: so quickly and so high that it actually struck the ceiling,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and then brought it down blade first, directly onto Joe's
- 16:59Speaker 1: face and over and over again, until Joe did not
- 17:02Speaker 1: resemble a human being. While this was happening, right next
- 17:05Speaker 1: to her, Sarah is beginning to stir and look around
- 17:07Speaker 1: what's going on. Meanwhile, the killer has now moved to
- 17:10Speaker 1: the other side of the bed and is standing over
- 17:13Speaker 1: Sarah and using the backside of the axe, so not
- 17:16Speaker 1: the blade part, but the backside of the axe head,
- 17:19Speaker 1: he raises it up and then brings it down on
- 17:21Speaker 1: her head and repeatedly hits her over and over and
- 17:24Speaker 1: over again until she too is indistinguishable and does not
- 17:27Speaker 1: look like herself or even human. The killer is very calm.
- 17:30Speaker 1: He takes the sheets and pulls them up over the
- 17:33Speaker 1: faces of both of the people he just killed, and
- 17:35Speaker 1: then he goes back out into the hall and he
- 17:37Speaker 1: walks down and he.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Goes into the children's room.
- 17:39Speaker 1: One by one, he raises the axe and drops the
- 17:42Speaker 1: axe on each of the children's heads, and then after
- 17:45Speaker 1: they are deceased, he pulls the sheets up over their head.
- 17:47Speaker 1: The killer leaves the room and goes downstairs to where
- 17:50Speaker 1: the Stillinger sisters are, and then, just like everybody else
- 17:53Speaker 1: in the house, he raises the axe and drops it
- 17:56Speaker 1: over and over and over again on the heads of
- 17:58Speaker 1: each of these girls until they're no longer living as well. Afterwards,
- 18:02Speaker 1: he raises the sheets over their faces, and now everyone
- 18:05Speaker 1: in the house is deceased and has their face covered.
- 18:07Speaker 2: At this point, the killer.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Goes back upstairs and goes back into the master bedroom
- 18:11Speaker 1: and he stands in front of Joe in Sarah's bed,
- 18:14Speaker 1: and after a little while, he begins striking them dozens
- 18:17Speaker 1: more times, even though both of them were clearly deceased
- 18:20Speaker 1: at this point. At this point, the killer shifted gears
- 18:23Speaker 1: and began focusing on covering his tracks, cleaning up, and
- 18:26Speaker 1: he began taking clothes out of closets and pulling whatever
- 18:29Speaker 1: sheets he hadn't used. He began tacking these things up
- 18:31Speaker 1: onto all of the windows and any spaces on the
- 18:34Speaker 1: doors so that nobody could see in. He also began
- 18:37Speaker 1: covering up the mirrors, which no one understood why he
- 18:39Speaker 1: did that. After the house is totally covered up, the
- 18:42Speaker 1: killer goes into the kitchen and he cooks himself a meal,
- 18:44Speaker 1: but he doesn't need the food. He cleaned off the
- 18:47Speaker 1: axe and placed it up against the wall on the
- 18:49Speaker 1: first floor. He then took a huge bowl, filled it
- 18:51Speaker 1: up with water, and then washed his bloody hands and
- 18:53Speaker 1: began to clean.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Himself a little bit.
- 18:55Speaker 1: And then he left the bloody water just sitting on
- 18:57Speaker 1: the counter. And then strangely, he took a huge, huge
- 19:00Speaker 1: slab of bacon from in the kitchen and he put
- 19:02Speaker 1: it in the middle of the floor, and then next
- 19:04Speaker 1: to it was a keychain. And some people think this
- 19:06Speaker 1: might have to do with some ritual he was performing,
- 19:09Speaker 1: but to this day, no one really knows why he
- 19:11Speaker 1: did that. And then he took some keys from inside
- 19:13Speaker 1: the house, walked out the door, turned around, locked it
- 19:15Speaker 1: behind him, and disappeared. The Moor household normally was a
- 19:19Speaker 1: very rambunctious place with all these kids running around and
- 19:22Speaker 1: the neighbors were very close. And so the next morning,
- 19:25Speaker 1: when the neighbors did not see the more family coming
- 19:27Speaker 1: outside to do their chores around seven am, they were
- 19:30Speaker 1: concerned and they went over and they knocked on the door.
- 19:33Speaker 1: There was no answer. They noticed everything had sheets over it,
- 19:35Speaker 1: so they couldn't see inside. And so Joe's brother was
- 19:38Speaker 1: hailed to the house and he brought along a key
- 19:41Speaker 1: and he opened up the door and he walked inside
- 19:43Speaker 1: and he immediately saw the Stylinger sisters and would have
- 19:45Speaker 1: been done to them, and he got incredibly sick and
- 19:48Speaker 1: he ran outside and they called police. Police come down
- 19:52Speaker 1: and they find this horrible scene. Even though they have
- 19:54Speaker 1: the murder weapon, they have the victims, their bodies are
- 19:57Speaker 1: right here. There's blood, there's all sorts of stuf and
- 20:00Speaker 1: things that the killer must have manipulated. And you would
- 20:03Speaker 1: think there's enough here that you'd be able to refine
- 20:07Speaker 1: your search to a couple different suspects and eventually figure
- 20:10Speaker 1: out who did this, but they weren't able to, and
- 20:13Speaker 1: to this day we have no.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Idea who did this.
- 20:15Speaker 1: The house itself where the attack happened has not been
- 20:19Speaker 1: updated since the attack. Somebody bought the property and then
- 20:22Speaker 1: maintained it so it could be a tourist attraction. And
- 20:25Speaker 1: so to this day, you can go to the vliska
- 20:27Speaker 1: Ax Murder House and you can stay there, you can
- 20:30Speaker 1: sleep there overnight, and you can actually tour the area
- 20:33Speaker 1: and it looks the same way it did when the
- 20:35Speaker 1: murders happened. Many people believe that house is haunted, and
- 20:38Speaker 1: in fact, in twenty fourteen, someone who was there staying
- 20:42Speaker 1: overnight as a tourist inexplicably stabbed themselves and had to
- 20:46Speaker 1: go to the hospital and they don't even know why
- 20:47Speaker 1: they did it. And so that's kind of added to
- 20:49Speaker 1: the legend of the veliska Ax Murder House that the
- 20:52Speaker 1: house itself will cause you to harm yourself.
- 20:55Speaker 2: So that's going to do it. Guys, I hope you
