Peter Thomas made Forensic Files series the greatest by his fine narration. Without Peter, it is not the same. Peter Thomas is indeed sorely missed, he is IRREPLACEABLE. THANK YOU, Peter, for your narration on Forensic Files. I miss you terribly. Rest In Peace always 🙏🏻🙏🏻 👍👍👏👏🙌🙌
When I lived alone, I NEVER let people I didn't know into my apartment! It's something my dad & my older brother told me many times. It's a lesson I'm glad I learned. I'm still here because of that.
All too often, it’s someone they know. That said, I think you are absolutely right. Remember that case of the two college professors who let in two teenagers who said they were collecting for some college programme … and then killed the couple who wanted to contribute? Horrible.
Derrick Todd Lee died at 47 while on death row on Dec. 21, 2016 of heart disease. He sat on Angola's death row for roughly 16 years before dying… where all his appeals presented to the courts were shot down very quickly. His victims families didn't get the injections they were waiting for, but did gain comfort in knowing he never again could hurt another female and comfort in just knowing that he was dead.
I remember this clearly. I was a freshman at LSU without a car and was very nervous walking to nearby stores etc. I was so happy when they captured this criminal!
It's a particularly sad day when you can't go to your mother's grave and leave alive. That police sketch made me scared.... his eyes were not naturally wide. It makes me wonder if he got a wide eyed look that overcame his face when he was committing all of his crimes. The whole encounter must have been terrifying for Diane. So glad her son came home when he did.
This molecular biologist, Dr. Tony Frudakis, was fantastic on his work. It is very interesting what he does, really fascinating. This subject of forensic files has lots of branches that are amazingly good and interesting. Glad that the real perpetrator was caught so no other woman falls victim of his evil mind.
This particular episode really pissed me off from just the total randomness and then the fact that her poor mother was so emotional during the recording…she’s just never going to get over the evil that happened. I really hate seeing anyone cry but to see an older woman just sobbing over her baby like that does something to my soul. RIP to the young victims🌹
Idk what I would do if something happened to one of my sons. Its every good parent's worst nightmare. When I lost my mom at 18 I thought nothing could be worse. Until I had sons. Now I know as bad as that was, there's something worse and I hope I never know the feeling. 🙏🥺 Prayers for all who've lost children and loved ones. It hurts so bad for so long, but somehow you keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. I know our loved ones would want us to go on and be happy, live our best lives in their memory. ❤
The episodes where mothers lose their daughters/sons to murder are the most heartbreaking. As a new mother myself, I simply refuse to even imagine myself in their shoes. It’s unconscionable
Yes, it's best not to let your imagination go there. I watched an episode earlier that was the worst case scenario of this. A man survived the horrors of the Vietnam war & came home, only to be poisoned to death by his wife 4 months after getting back. To think your son is finally safe & sound in the bosom of his family & have him die shortly after would be devastating. Then, years later, when the pain might be beginning to ease, you find out the person who should have been 2nd only to you when it came to loving & protecting him had actually stolen his life from you. I can't even begin to imagine how the poor guy's mom survived & kept going after that.
@@broeheemed32 Fathers absolutely matter, but you have to acknowledge that there is an extra connection between mother & child that a father doesn't experience. Growing a child inside you for 9 months, followed by the act of bringing a new life into the world, only to have that life destroyed by someone, will produce emotions a father just can't experience. In relation to the OP though, as the other commenter said, her comment was reflecting her personal perspective as a mom & was not being exclusive.
@@animerlon "Extra connection", huh? Like Diane Downs, who shot her children because her "new boyfriend" didn't want kids? Like Debora Green, who torched her house with her children in it to "get back at" the ex-husband who didn't want HER any more? Like SUSAN SMITH? I could go on and on and on and on..... there are more examples than I could count. Get over yourself. The reason that women have an "extra connection" is because courts routinely give them 100% custody, so they keep the children away from their father out of spite.... so many children grow up never knowing their fathers.
to quote the judge who says to the killer in another episode of FF "You not only have forfeited your right to live among us. You have forfeited your right to live at all"
I do not think he was scared of the little boy. Him showing up was unexpected and he had to change his plans. He probably did not want to harm/kill him or just did not want the chance of getting caught. It takes more time to kill one person than two with the wrapon he used.
I hope Diane Alexander's son was recognized and rewarded for his part in giving the police good information resulting in a major break for them. This alert and brave young man certainly deserved it. 👍🏅
I had just moved back to Baton Rouge being newly separated from the armed services. It was a big deal, people were scared to go out, I was working with a friend of mine who was a 20 something Caucasian male who just so happened to have a white truck, everyday he was pulled over multiple times daily when this was going down. It was such a relief for everyone when they announced they had caught him. Pam Kenimore lived just 2 miles from me.
This case reminded me of the DC Sniper case. Everyone was looking for a white box truck. 1000's of police hours were spent questioning drivers of white box trucks. When the killers, who happened to both be black men, were caught they were driving a Chevrolet Caprice. They did not have an accomplice in a white box truck. White box trucks are common. Not as common as a white truck being driven by a white guy, but still common.
Pams poor mother is heart broken. My heart goes out to her. I lost my youngest daughter 23 years ago to cancer. The only way i accept this loss is that i know brooke was a gift from god and she was loaned to me for a short while and was never mine. Great forensics by dr. Frudakis This evil sicko was definately a serial killer. He got what he dserved. Condolences to all the family and friends of the victims. Rest in peace to all the victims.
At least it's not yet providing the address & phone number of offenders so the detective still has his job, if he's not retired that is. 😆 He would be stunned though, with them sometimes producing sketches of subjects that are more accurate & reliable than eye witnesses.
I can't help but think about genetic genealogy during this episode and how far the technology has come. DNA can't give you the address, but it can give you the name.
About 35 years ago I first read about DNA process in a small paragraph inside local newspaper. I was immediately blown away fascinated...Still am !! Greatest technology,; the cellphone, GPS and DNA. Hallelujah !! 🙏
This is fascinating. I'm hooked. I've been viewing forensic files for about twenty years, I've learned so much about science, about police procedure and human nature. Thank God for intelligence He allowed us to advance in many directions.
15:45 I don’t mean to sound harsh to anyone to look somewhat similar to this, but this is one of the most disturbing sketches I’ve ever seen, and to top it off, there are little to no similarities between Lee and the sketch. R.I.P The Baton Rouge victims, those who passed that knew them, and Peter Thomas
That guy is was in mccomb mississippi, he has family here and I remember him being on the news here, his whole family always had serious issues, one of his sisters killed someone, I heard. I had the misfortune of being around him but thankfully he was caught
He operated near the back entryway into LSU mostly,near McKinley area. Pam Kenimore lived on the otherside of BR near Ascension area, and Whiskey Bay/ Henderson swamp is 45-50 miles west of BR. The exit where he dumped the women is basically the entry to wildlife mamagement area, where lots of people hunt and fish. He was moving around quite a bit
Have been watching this series for like 20 years I think...this narration in his voice voice is just so unique...just hearing it makes that suspicious excitement of starting a new episode..
I remember watching this episode with my dad in the room and he and my mom actually remember my dad being pulled over by the police because of this case. At the time, we lived in the Baton Rouge area (my mom is a native Louisianan, my dad isn’t), and my mom was a few months pregnant with me. Because the killer had mostly gone after white women with dark hair, my parents were nervous about being close to the city since my mom looked a lot like some of the victims. My dad was in his late 30’s at the time, and he was also bald, white, and around 200 pounds. The police were pretty much stopping anybody who had a white pickup because that was the vehicle they suspected the killer drove. They also suspected that the killer was a large white man aged 25-40. My dad says he was driving home from the drug store getting some medicine for my mom in his white pickup truck. The police, seeing the truck and stopping him, also noticed he fit the description of the killer. Thankfully, he has never had a criminal record and they let him go. When it was later revealed the killer was a black man, my dad couldn’t help but think how lucky he was that my mom wasn’t harmed (and by extension, me) and that he wasn’t detained or worse. It’s crazy how personal some of these cases can be, even if I wasn’t alive then, and I’m very glad the case was eventually solved.
20:18 I absolutely love how the editing team decided show us some of the other murder cases from previous episodes where eyewitness testimonies were falsified by the evidence. It really drives the point home and ties the whole series together really nicely in my opinion.
Pam didnt. her husband was a parapalegic so she kept the keys in the door so that he could get in the house easier. However, what's not mentioned is that Derrick Todd Lee was doing construction in the area across from her house and word was that Pam would wear revealing clothing to entice the guys in construction bc her husband wasnt really hitting it due to him being paralyzed and all. Derrick Todd Lee saw this and took his opportunity. Her death was most puzzling bc it was outside of his "deleting radius" if you know what i mean but this information explains the gap between her deletion and the rest of the women.
I'm surprised this episode doesn't mention that there was another serial killer working in the area around the same time. I thought that's what really made this case difficult.
Ladies...NO MATTER WHAT...DO NOT ALLOW A STRANGER INTO YOUR HOME, FOR ANY REASON, if he's not scheduled to be there and ISN'T working for a company that delivers to, or services, your home! Smh.
I have no idea when this all happened. But I am positive that I was so close to being taken. My husband, daughter and myself were on a roadtrip from Texas to Florida. We stopped in Baton Rouge to stay the night at a hotel. I ran out to our car to get some things from the trunk of our car, not thinking there was any danger at 9pm. This car with two men pulled up close to me and said “hey what are you doing lady, come here we got something for you to see”. Being scared to death and not knowing what to do, I said in a very firm and loud but not screaming voice “NO NO NOO” and for whatever reason they got spooked and sped off. I don’t know if I was close to being abducted and who knows what or what!
Wow just now realized how cell phones basically stopped this. Almost no one has house lines anymore so you can't go door to door asking to use one and gain access that way.
Never let any stranger get into your home whatever was the reason!!! I'm sad for the victims they had a good advantage of people and murderd cause of this. R.I.P for all those innocent victims.
Why people open their doors without asking who is knocking or looking through a peek hole??? And if your door doesn’t have a peek hole, find someone who can open one but for Christ’s sake, STOP OPENING YOUR DOORS! Your life might depend on who is in between your door and you. I never open my door, I look through the window first. And I don’t care if it is a police officer, or a priest, the cable guy , etc. etc. NO! I still will not open my door and look through the window to know who is there. I will not take a chance especially where my life is concerned. That said, Dr. Tony Frudakis is brilliant! Wow! He knew how to know the race of a criminal with a test. Very impressive work what he did who made other investigators’ mouth dropped. Kudos to him, I applaud him for a job well done 👍 👍🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏
Sadly in the world we live in acting the Good Samaritan will get you killed. When a stranger approaches your answer should be no. Doesn't matter what the question is, your answer needs to be no. I don't have a match, a smoke, a light, a dollar, spare change, the time, a cell phone or directions. Whatever it is you want, you are not getting it from me, move along now.
Dr. Tony Frudakis did a tremendous job identifying the race of the criminal in question. He is an absolute brilliant scientist. Thanks to his findings, this serial killer was apprehended so no more women could be killed. Thank you Dr. Frudakis, you are the hero in this case. I applaud you 👏👏👏👍👏👍👍👏👍
I love Peter Thomas. He’s such amazing but it’s so sad that he died. It’s not the same without him. That’s why I always go on my phone and put on the old versions.
I am happy DNA has come so far. One would think it would deter criminal activity but there will always be those not so bright individuals that think they are smarter than science.
What would deter them more is if the punishment would be executed quicker. Don't leave them sitting in prison for years, get it over with. Now many states are letting them go.
Pam Kinamore was indeed a very beautiful lady. Too sad she was killed along with the other women by a perpetrator who had no respect whatsoever for a human life. This killer just killed these 5 women being married and having 2 children. Wow. I guess he didn’t care who he killed as long as he killed women. May all these five victims rest In peace always 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It was actually six. I grew up with Geraline and her sister Heather. She was always so sweet and willing to help anyone in need. Her whole family is like that. My heart sank when I heard. Very sad all of these ladies lost their lives to a coward.
Between continually developing technology, and the presence of video/cameras on businesses, intersections, homes, criminals are taking a serious risks commiting crimes, at least in populated areas.
I don’t really watch Forensic Files as far as for cases go….im just watching this because the man I love ❤️ passed away recently and this is what he would watch for the most part…I’ll miss him forever. Angel I want you to know that I still love you. Never did I stopped, even at the moments where we were not together anymore.
This case is sad but especially sad for me. I met carrie around the year 2000. She was very kind and so innocent. None of the women deserved any of it. Im glad they solved it
From living in the area when this happened and doing research, it was Dianne Alexander’s ID that broke the case. The DNA from her assault and sketch were released. Afterwards, a nearby police department recognized the man from the ID as a peeping Tom they had been in contact with. Following the ID from the photo lineup, and DNA all matching, they issued an arrest warrant for the assault and murders. Once he was arrested, they got a warrant for his DNA, and that matched all of the crimes. And that was that
He had a previous record. They pull files of people who fit the physical description and has previous crimes of a sexual nature. Previous offenders likely offend again once released.
You can't be mad at investigators over that. All they have to go off of is what people tell them as they are investigating. How mad would you be if they were given that info about the car and white male and they didn't listen and it ended up being true. Exactly.
Plus: - yes, 90% of serial killers are indeed, white. - rapist *usually* choose their victims in their own racial background. Here, mostly white victims.
Lee spent the next decade filing appeals that failed. On January 21, 2016, he died from heart disease complications after being taken to a hospital. At the time, Lee was on death row in Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola.

Who let's someone in to use the phone ffs -I'd pretend not to hear the door -especially at night .
So you were sure you would have been murdered if you had? Some people allow these shows to over come their common sense.

Every killer has there scary face. For all we know, they probably went off the details that the last victim stated he starred at her face with.

Literally a popular Roblox game rn using the same sketch🤣 only reason I came back to watch dis
That's actually Selene Delgado Lopez.

I'm surprised this episode doesn't mention that there was another serial killer working in the area around the same time. I thought that's what really made this case difficult.
Yes, this is true. But, I think that may be another episode 🤔
In their blood😢
@@ninfaabadiano2224 what
Ladies...NO MATTER WHAT...DO NOT ALLOW A STRANGER INTO YOUR HOME, FOR ANY REASON, if he's not scheduled to be there and ISN'T working for a company that delivers to, or services, your home! Smh.
I have no idea when this all happened. But I am positive that I was so close to being taken. My husband, daughter and myself were on a roadtrip from Texas to Florida. We stopped in Baton Rouge to stay the night at a hotel. I ran out to our car to get some things from the trunk of our car, not thinking there was any danger at 9pm. This car with two men pulled up close to me and said “hey what are you doing lady, come here we got something for you to see”. Being scared to death and not knowing what to do, I said in a very firm and loud but not screaming voice “NO NO NOO” and for whatever reason they got spooked and sped off. I don’t know if I was close to being abducted and who knows what or what!
When was your incident

That momma of pams & her son looked so happy🥺🙏 so sad! Pam looked so beautiful 😩
It seems her husband was disabled.
Wow just now realized how cell phones basically stopped this. Almost no one has house lines anymore so you can't go door to door asking to use one and gain access that way.
Peter Thomas was one of a kind, no one can take his place by narrating, his is a voice so Unique make this show so lovable❤❤❤❤❤
Dr. Frudakas deserves a medal of honor.
The Medal of Honor is for heroic acts performed by military members during combat. More appropriate would be the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Never let any stranger get into your home whatever was the reason!!!
I'm sad for the victims they had a good advantage of people and murderd cause of this.
R.I.P for all those innocent victims.
I really like her mom; always have since I first saw this over a decade ago
I've never seen anyone speak without their face or mouth moving as much as the DNA expert lol
The Botox is strong in him
Closet ventriloquist
Dr. Frudakis would make a great ventriloquist… 😂
That’s what I was thinking. Dude barely moved his mouth when talking, lol
Molecular biologist was able to speak without really opening his mouth. 😉
Maybe he's a closet ventriloquist
@@mightymouse1005 😅😅
Why people open their doors without asking who is knocking or looking through a peek hole??? And if your door doesn’t have a peek hole, find someone who can open one but for Christ’s sake, STOP OPENING YOUR DOORS! Your life might depend on who is in between your door and you. I never open my door, I look through the window first. And I don’t care if it is a police officer, or a priest, the cable guy , etc. etc. NO! I still will not open my door and look through the window to know who is there. I will not take a chance especially where my life is concerned.
That said, Dr. Tony Frudakis is brilliant! Wow! He knew how to know the race of a criminal with a test. Very impressive work what he did who made other investigators’ mouth dropped. Kudos to him, I applaud him for a job well done 👍 👍🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏
It is amazing how long he got away without being shot, firearms are wildly popular and well supported in these here parts
Pam Kenimore was in bath tab... So, she did not open the door.
Sadly in the world we live in acting the Good Samaritan will get you killed.
When a stranger approaches your answer should be no.
Doesn't matter what the question is, your answer needs to be no.
I don't have a match, a smoke, a light, a dollar, spare change, the time, a cell phone or directions.
Whatever it is you want, you are not getting it from me, move along now.
Molecular Biologist here, an inadvertent ventriloquist ! 😀
I was about to say, that guy's mouth barely moved!
Dr. Tony Frudakis did a tremendous job identifying the race of the criminal in question. He is an absolute brilliant scientist. Thanks to his findings, this serial killer was apprehended so no more women could be killed.
Thank you Dr. Frudakis, you are the hero in this case. I applaud you 👏👏👏👍👏👍👍👏👍
I feel heart broken for every single onee of these woman and there families 💔... A monster stole their lives away farr too soon
*one
*women
their* families
*far
you can't even spell THEIR correctly 😐
that artist sketch will follow me to my dreams
OMG they showed that sketch full-blown zoomed in. 😱
What kind of composite sketch is that? 😅 That freaked me to f out at 4 am this morning 😭
Tony , the molecular Biologist was a god's gifted man 👏👏
Just here to go to sleep perfect pill
Peter had the best reading voice.
Ditto
"...almost circumvent the world"
You can almost hear the banjos🤣
This man's police sketch has to be the scariest police sketch I have ever seen, and did so much for the analog horror community.
So they kinda used 23 and Me of the 90s to get this guy! Nicely done.
I love Peter Thomas. He’s such amazing but it’s so sad that he died. It’s not the same without him. That’s why I always go on my phone and put on the old versions.
I am happy DNA has come so far. One would think it would deter criminal activity but there will always be those not so bright individuals that think they are smarter than science.
And it hasn't slowed down criminals from killing, has it
Yes, and I think they think they have a right to take out their problems on other people as well.
@Ray Rictor exactly
What would deter them more is if the punishment would be executed quicker. Don't leave them sitting in prison for years, get it over with. Now many states are letting them go.
Only 62 percent of murders are ever solved and in cities such as Chicago it's even lower according to the FBI database
My lullaby every night I miss Peter Thomas
In Louisiana, there's probably a white male in a white pickup on every street every 5 minutes.
Lmao 🤣😂
MR FRUDAKIS THE GREECE LOVE YOU
YOU WRITE HISTORY AGAIN LIKE ONLY GREECE 🇬🇷 PEOPLE KNOW
THE PLANET WILL THANK YOU FOR EVER
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I’m obsessed with this show but it makes me kinda scared lol
Pam Kinamore was indeed a very beautiful lady. Too sad she was killed along with the other women by a perpetrator who had no respect whatsoever for a human life. This killer just killed these 5 women being married and having 2 children. Wow. I guess he didn’t care who he killed as long as he killed women. May all these five victims rest In peace always 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Most serial killer only kill their own race. Interesting he varied
It was actually six. I grew up with Geraline and her sister Heather. She was always so sweet and willing to help anyone in need. Her whole family is like that. My heart sank when I heard. Very sad all of these ladies lost their lives to a coward.
The narrator's voice makes this so nostalgic! Same vibe with Walsh when he did America's Most Wanted
David Mcdavid? That is the most amazing name ever.
9 months and the parents came up with it 😁🤣😁🤣😁
There was an Australian cricketer named Colin McCool. You wonder what their parents' were thinking.
I love these Forensic File stories!
Rest in heaven mr Peter Thomas u was the best narrator ever
This is devastating. All these women had their whole life ahead. Their poor families.
Great episode.
That molecular biologist would make a great ventriloquist!!😂

I can't believe ppl open their doors to strangers to use their phone.
yes but this was in the 80s.
@@stfuplsok i was born in the 60s. We didn't let ppl in our homes. Not even the milkman or vacuum sales person.

Thank God for DNA Because the perpetrator will be brought to Justice
The dna scientist is a moonlight ventriloquist
The Molecular Biologist is incredible!👏Thanks 2 d whole investigating team 4 solving dz case, my condolences to d families🥺
Between continually developing technology, and the presence of video/cameras on businesses, intersections, homes, criminals are taking a serious risks commiting crimes, at least in populated areas.
That police sketch is nightmare fuel.
😂😭
I don’t really watch Forensic Files as far as for cases go….im just watching this because the man I love ❤️ passed away recently and this is what he would watch for the most part…I’ll miss him forever. Angel I want you to know that I still love you. Never did I stopped, even at the moments where we were not together anymore.
Thank God for that Doctor. 🙏
Beautiful women in America need to consider the absolute fact that their beauty ALONE makes them a target. Pam was beautiful.
I know, it is sad!
I have to agree. It's like, the more attractive the bigger the target. Not cool.
What's the point of that?
@@alessaross3559 The point is whatever you choose it to be. I could write a chapter book on the point.
What about beautiful women in other parts of the world?
I also love Peter Thomas voice, it relaxes me 😁
This case is sad but especially sad for me. I met carrie around the year 2000. She was very kind and so innocent. None of the women deserved any of it. Im glad they solved it
loved this show for a long time but i wish they explained how they came around to including him in this police line up like come on
From living in the area when this happened and doing research, it was Dianne Alexander’s ID that broke the case. The DNA from her assault and sketch were released. Afterwards, a nearby police department recognized the man from the ID as a peeping Tom they had been in contact with.
Following the ID from the photo lineup, and DNA all matching, they issued an arrest warrant for the assault and murders. Once he was arrested, they got a warrant for his DNA, and that matched all of the crimes.
And that was that
He had a previous record. They pull files of people who fit the physical description and has previous crimes of a sexual nature. Previous offenders likely offend again once released.
You can't be mad at investigators over that. All they have to go off of is what people tell them as they are investigating. How mad would you be if they were given that info about the car and white male and they didn't listen and it ended up being true. Exactly.
Plus:
- yes, 90% of serial killers are indeed, white.
- rapist *usually* choose their victims in their own racial background. Here, mostly white victims.
Another advantage of cell phones!
David mcdavid?? Seriously?? 😂😂😂
Lee spent the next decade filing appeals that failed. On January 21, 2016, he died from heart disease complications after being taken to a hospital. At the time, Lee was on death row in Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola.
