What? If a hitchhiker was 'getting on his nerves' why not put him out of the car or leave him at a rest/gas stop? WTF? And I have to wonder if Jack was killed earlier and taken to Alaska as a dead body. Thank you for doing this.
Right? And why supposedly wait until he's almost to their destination to kill him? I think Jesse was actually lying (shocking I know) and projected it onto his victim. I have a feeling the second his victim nodded off he was slain.
This is pure speculation, no evidence whatsoever, but maybe there was a failed sexual advance on the part of the killer that he didn't want to admit to making, so he just came up with some stupid, nonspecific "motive"? It's happened plenty of times with female hitchhikers.
@@bluevioletandlilac That's exactly what I was thinking. To remember soooo many details about how he looked, down to the socks he was wearing, but no specific details about what happened or what was said in that car over two days. Taking the hitcher all the way to Alaska, when the place he was determined to go along the way. Hell, just the idea of agreeing to take a total stranger on a two day road trip. Saying he "lied alot" and "got on his nerves". Immediately confessing. The whole story is suspect.
You are making an assumption creeps like the killer have the same values, morals, and though processes we, as normal people, have. They don't. Hopefully, none of us would kill someone just because "they got on our nerves".
Jesse's story indeed sounds off. Not asking his name? Disposing of his ID but not any of the other things? Jack spontaneously deciding to go to Alaska? Killing him being the first thought of how to get rid of an annoying hitchhiker? Not leaving him? All of that doesn't make sense. The name would be among the first things to ask, right next to asking why they're going there. The normal kind of smalltalk to ease the situation between two strangers. Now the claim that Jack lied, okay, I can accept that. Telling some tall tales. There are people like that.
Just a little interesting information; good false eyes cost a lot of money, but you need a prosthetic to keep the muscles and the socket in good shape, which is why Jack had the marble which he probably used to keep the muscles and socket in trim, even if it didn´t look like a real eye. He had some kind of medical and rehab care to get that information, even if he didn´t get a proper prosthetic, or he lost the one he got and couldn´t replace it, so perhaps he had access to a VA or work insurance (not so likely doing logging, more likely if he was doing mill work). that last is pure guess work. My guess is the killer ran into him in Canada, or going from Oregon to Alaska. It´s safer and easier to transport a living, cooperative person in the car than a dead person who can get you busted if you are caught. Perhaps Jack had money on him from working a job, money in American dollars or a paycheck and they needed it paid out in an American state before the killer took him out in Tok and dumped him. Tok is a tourist town and probably has lots of places to pay out money and a high turnover of people. Jackmight have offered topay for the ride when they could get the check paid out, and sealed his fate.
I think searching US and Canadian VA type records would be such a smart move. That wound had to be treated & missing eyes from trauma rather than cancer aren’t that common. Often if you’ve been wounded badly enough to lose the eye, you’ve lost your life. And we know it must have been an eye injury because evidence of the lost eye was left in the skull… so likely a remodeled orbital fracture is evident on the skull, probably multiple, where a chain or something heavy lashed across the eye socket or where a blade sliced the socket vs puncturing the eye.
You did a wonderful job researching this case. I agree that the killer was probably lying about the details. Hopefully the identity of this man will be discovered.
This man deserves his name back. He served our country. He deserves a full military service. Until then, thank you Jack for your service. Thank you Gabby for all the hard work you do.
Huh, I never heard of this case before. I hope with these advance of DNA technology, John Doe's actual name will be revealed because his family is still out there, missing him dearly and wanna know what happen to him.
We don't know if anyone is missing him. I have a relative who could disappear without anyone noticing, as she has effectively broken connection with all her family , even her own children, and all her friends.
I hope that One eyed Jack will get his identity back someday soon. I feel that we can't believe Jesse's story. One thing I do think is that he was killed way before arriving at Alaska then dumped there. I also believe Jesse knew his name. How can you be in a car with someone for two days and not know their name? Obviously there is more to the story than what Jesse said. Stay safe we love you too!
It is interesting what you said as well about how the authorities seem pretty certain he had lost an eye while still alive (I mean even if there was some pretty serious damage to the bone surrounding the eye I can only imagine it would have had to be very extreme for them to be able to say that...the human body can be very interesting at times and it makes me wonder if there was some excessive bone healing around the eye socket which might have made it impossible to even wear a glass eye at the time?). I know you also mentioned they have a lot of 'evidence' that is not released to the public (maybe one of the things being how exactly they know he mostly was missing an eye while still alive). Hope this poor soul gets his name back soon!
if you look up One-Eyed Jack's case online, you can find a picture of the reconstruction process for one of his composites (the one covering his lower jaw), and you can see his left eye socket appears more deformed compared to the right one. I'm not familiar with bones or damage so I can't say anything about bone healing or how it would make him appear, but I thought I'd bring it up :)
Did Jesse definitely kill him? It definitely wasn't a false confession just to get attention or to join a friend or relative of his who was in prison, right?
I'm sorry that last year was tough for you, Gabby. May your dear Grandma rest in peace. Thank you for putting so much effort into these videos of yours. Your sensitivity and concern for the victims and their families is abundantly evident in every case you cover. And please don't ever lose that sparkle and sense of humor that makes you so endearing to watch! All the best in 2022 😊
I’m so glad I found your channel. You do so many cases that aren’t talked about very often. It’s refreshing and most importantly, brings awareness to forgotten or not-so-well-known cases. You genuinely seem to care about the people involved too. Happy New Year!
Happy 2022 from Australia. I truly hope you have a brilliant year full of fun, laughter, joy and love. Thank for presentations this last year and let’s all wish and work for Peace on Earth.
Great case gabby so sad that no one has found his true identity yet ? It always fascinated me when a person is never identified! Like they are not truly missed by anyone ? My worst nightmare I think. Happy New Years !
Look at a guy named George Jack Beall, he is originally from Alaska or has been declared missing from Alaska. He had scarring around his left eye. He went missing in 1974. I did contact Alaska state troopers on this one. He looks similar to the sketch
Hello Gabby, Happy New Year! 💥⚡️🎆🌌🎇. Back in the day when dinosaurs (LOL) driver licenses were made of paper and could have disintegrated from rain and show. But…. I think he kept the wallet and tossed it later. It is also possible that while they were exchanging pleasantries, Jack told a couple of BS stories, hence he made mad.
DNA probably will tell us who he was. You are beautiful Gabby, inside and out. Your spirit shines. I choose who I watch, and I have always liked you, your persona. I know how that is, strangers have treated me better than my own family. Odd how that works sometimes. God bless.
I’m from Knysna, South Africa. I didn’t know much about this case but unfortunately it’s super normal here. We have 100s of murders each day in our country and the violence is normally extreme…especially against women, as we are one of the worst countries for gender violence
If he said he drove all across Canada and the US he's lying because Canada is far more than 2400 miles. Canada is 4, 860 miles coast to coast. That said you did such an amazing job on this case.
i could be wrong about this considering i know nothing about people with missing eyes but the fact that he was using a marble as an occasional fake eye definitely makes it seem like this was a man who didn’t have a lot of money or was a drifter and just didn’t want to stay in one place long enough to have some kind of replacement eye made
As A lifelong West Coast resident, I used Canadian money until 1986 or so. It was given as change and pretty much used anywhere. That was Oregon. I imagine in the 70s that both currencies would have been usable in AK. It butts up to Canada.
What if the killer did something that made his eye come out? And just said he had an eye patch. Wouldn’t they have found a leather eyepatch with the body?? And I think the guy was picked up in Canada. Why would a hitch hiker have Canadian money on him when he’s just going around the US?
Choker cables are wrapped around felled trees to haul them out of the woods. If this guy got his head stuck in a choker cable he would be dead. If you were going up North to Alaska you'd definitely be packed for the extreme cold weather. You don't just go to Alaska without the proper clothing. It's cold up there!
Through the whole video l kept thinking if ever a case was rife for some DNA testing... The other thing that struck me as being VERY strange is the fact that this man so easily confessed to murder when most murderers wiggle and wriggle to avoid a well deserved murder charge. Was he looking for free room and board? It wouldn't be the first time. We have a case like that here in Canada .
The people they think he maybe - does any smoke. If a man with hardly any money makes sure he has winstons(2 packs) and matches. That would have been important to him (my dad was a heavy smoker, especially in the 70s). I bet he had been a big smoker for years.
Jessie probably murdered him not long after picking him up. Stoke all his belongings, stuffed him in the trubk and then dumped him in tok. Tossing his ID along the way.
I try not to be a downer about these things; people leave their families for all sorts of reason, and the families don't report for all sorts of reasons. I used to work in the court, and I saw my share of people whose toxicity was so great that family and friends didn't care if they left or not. Jack may have been a really nice guy and he may not have been. Being an unknown corpse doesn't mean he was loved. As far as his corpse being scattered; youi can add to the possible culprits, coyotes, badgers, wolverines, bears, and wolves. We're just on the menu up there.
he saw his ID. Where'd it go? I think the killer got rid of it. what I don't get is why he'd go through all that trouble to hide the guys identity but then turn around and confess?
So glad I saw someone else comment this! Who the heck confesses, doesn't sound like he was pressured at all, gives such a dumb reason and yet wants to hide the guys identity. Usually people do everything they can to not get caught so to tell lies (presumably) about other things yet to tell the truth about the biggest part that results in him being in jail til his death, that doesn't make any sense!
Maybe One Eyed Jack was never reported missing. He may have told his family, if he had any, that he was going away, and not to look for him. At that maybe he had both eyes and later lost it at a work accident.
It's so heartbreaking that so many Jane and John Doe's are out there with no justice and their name lost. I hope that one one they can all get justice and their names back. I hope you're okay Gabby and the new year brings you happiness. Sending love from the UK. Keep going girl, you've got this 😘💪🏼
As an avid hitch hiker - there is one piece of this puzzle that is most important. The most important fact in this case is that Jesse had to get Jack through Canada and back into US soil to get him to Alaska. That's two boarder patrol crossings where people keep record of who went in and out. I have hitchhiked across country lines before (mostly in Europe). So I know that to get Jack across the boarder, it happened one of two ways. 1. Jack was not visible to boarder patrol and Jesse took the risk of smuggling him in - dead or alive - or 2. Jack had to show proof of ID to a boarder patrol agent. Today it would be a passport but maybe back then a state ID or drivers license might be enough. In option 2. I have always seen where the other passenger keeps their ID. We all have to take them out when a boarder patrol agent asks for them. We all have to put them away. It is absurd to me that Jesse could not know where the ID is unless Jack was being smuggled in. Have we found the car or Jack's belongings? His ID should be in there. Its a rare hitchhiker that will hitchhike with no pack. I don't know any hitchhikers that would travel to cold locations where they don't know anyone without a backpack at least. You either hold it on your lap etc. or it's put in the trunk or back seat to make everyone comfortable. Jesse should remember.. And did the boarder patrol agents not record who had gone in and out? Do they not have record of Jesse and someone going into Canada with their names attached? I know it's not recent but still. You'd imagine that there'd be something. So, smuggling in, option 1... there's usually a reason why. Either Jack couldn't legally go to Canada or he didn't have his ID or there was a fee for getting into Canada... or he was already dead. Now, smuggling a dead body in through Canada and then back to the USA through Alaska... that's the work of a daredevil who practically wants to get caught. It doesn't make sense for Jesse to then drop Jack off in the wilderness so that Jesse would never get caught. Either he has other motives or Jesse doesn't act rationally. Something is going on with his brain. I propose the theory that he was a bold dare devil smuggling a body through Canada, hoping to get caught and then in his disappointment dumping the body and belongings separately. This is a very odd case. And I think that it's fueled by mental illness.
Don't forget that with the adoption of the Schengen Area in 1995 most european countries don't have any border controls between them. But even with border checks I doubt they would record who exactly went in and out. They would only check that they're allowed to, and if all is fine, let them move.
I have to agree with a previous comment, regarding Jack having been dead in the car before he was eventually dumped. As far as the ID card goes, I'm thinking it might have been left in the car or lost in the car and later discovered and just tossed out on the road later when found. Quite possibly the murderer may have kept the card and tried to use it for himself later in Alaska (for whatever reason-- did he have a previous record, etc or a warrant for his arrest?) I hope they are able to work his DNA for a match. Thanks for the great work--- and a happy and healthy new year to you!
It is my opinion that he was a foster child from the baby boomer period, and had served in Viet Nam after aging out of the system. This would explain where he had no "loved ones" to inquire after him. I think the authorities should use reverse-aging process to determine approximately what he would have looked like in his late teens, early twenties, and then send check foster system cases in the states he claimed to have lived in; also compare it to enlisted men from Viet Nam.
What if Jesse was super twisted in the head and wanted to make the police, the public, and One Eyed Jack's loved ones wonder aimlessly about his identity? As some sort of a sick mind game.
Jack stated that he was in a workplace accident while working as a logger. Does anyone know if police looked into Idaho worker's comp claims or workplace accidents that resulted in someone losing an eye? It seems really specific and rare (at least I'd hope) of something to happen. Something that rare should have some kind of record, even if it was just a hospital bill.
@@j.munday7913 I definitely thought about that, but I feel like that is pretty unlikely. Unless he came to the country illegally for work (which could be totally possible), there would be a more concrete record of him being here. He would be on the government's radar. If there were more concrete evidence of this, hypothetically saying that he was, the police likely could've found him by now. Not finding the ID with him is really frustrating, as I feel like there would be some mention of that on that card. Though if we found that, he'd be identified by now. If he were planning to travel, and he were indeed from another country, I imagine he'd carry a passport with him all the time. That does make me wonder about his car, if he had one. If he wanted to drive or travel to another state, that car has to be somewhere. Though if he did in fact choose to hitchhike like Bishop said, that car could be anywhere or it could be nowhere. Really good point though! Thank you for chiming in!!
What about collecting DNA from "Jack's" skeletal remains, Gabby? I'm sure you're right about the victim having a wallet. I'm guessing Jessie probably stole it. You did an amazing video on this puzzling case, Gabby, and I hope that one day we will know who this unfortunate man really was. Wishing you all the best for 2022!!!
What many people don't take into account is that it is expensive to exhume remains and run DNA. If there are no funds available and law enforcement is not on board with finding out, then it's unlikely to happen. I don't know where that stands in this case, but there would have to be sufficient interest and funds first.
I wonder if any of the detectives have talked to old loggers in Oregon? Someone would remember the guy that got his head stuck & subsequently lost his eye. (?) I hope DNA finds his family & identification. Wishing you the best in 2022, Gabby! Thanks for the work you do. 🥰
Your delivery is just perfect, great content as always Gabby. I love your lip color what shade and company? Also Happy New Year to everyone. Stay safe and wishing you all the absolute best year ahead.
I learned she puts her lip color info in the description box because I was always asking what she had on. She always has that perfect shade of red. I've gotten a few new lip colors thanks to Gabby! Happy New Year, yall! Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous year! 🌟🌌🌈
@@truecrimemore205 welcome to the Gabulosis family! What i love most about the channel is the fact that she does vintage cases. So, it's almost always a case no one, or very few, have heard of. Gabby has an old soul, I bet she would look so amazing in either flapper girl clothes or 40s attire. Hope you enjoy the channel 😀 😊
I'm an ICU Nurse..I love these older cases and your channel. I was especially touched by the end of your one eyed Jack video..because I watch your channel to distract myself from the all the people I've seen die from Covid. I don't watch you enough to have a sense of why your life has been heavy..but obviously Covid affects pretty much everyone. I just wanted to.point out the irony...here you are obviously also having alot of pain..yet I watch your channel to escape mine. I wish I had a channel for you to watch.♡
My guess on why he went to Alaska was for work. He was supposedly an experienced logger. Losing an eye would effect depth perception & limit his options but there are still jobs in the industry that he'd have been qualified for. And, you could make a lot more money logging in Alaska than Oregon. I'm in Washington, I've had friends & family in logging & fishing and I've seen people go to Alaska for both because the pay is better. Usually (especially in the past) because the working conditions are worse, the jobs /scheduling is more intense and often they'd be assigned bunk house style accommodations. Nothing fancy, sometimes not even comfortable, with no privacy & rental charges too high for what they got but still much less than in the lower 48. People often go seasonally to work & return with enough cash that they don't have to work the rest of the year. It's perfect for transient people since almost no one stays year round. There's not much to do, other jobs are scarce & permanent family housing was difficult to find (I also knew a few women who went to work as strippers for all the same reasons plus the lack of women in the area. They'd go up for a month or two & come back set for a year.) If I had the skillet & I'm heading home to Oregon and a guy offers a ride to Alaska, I'd probably jump on it.
Oh Gabby, a very Happy New Year to you too. I hope that you were able to have a fun NYE and that you realise that you've done some good work in 2021 and likely helped a lot of people. I loved what you said about being in an empty room uploading the video but knowing that you will get lots of comments after its posted. We love you too and genuinely care about your health and your whole well-being. It's a tough subject digging into true crime and it can be emotionally exhausting. Here in Australia it's 2022, about 12:30 pm and although I went to bed way before midnight as I was exhausted after gardening, I did wake up at 3:30 so that I got to see the first sunrise of the year. I like that and it was a beautiful sunrise. Take care now Gabby and we'll be here when you upload in January! All the best!
Pacific Northwest, U.S.A., here and thinking of you coming in from gardening while I'm taking boiling water out to warm up the iced-over water for the animals. I wish you a beautiful and productive garden! Greetings from here on 1-1-22.
@@GlennaVan Thank you Glenna. You're in Sasquatch country out there. Lots of strange creatures wandering about in those woods, not joking! I have been out in my garden again today and sweating profusely. I appreciate that food won't grow without the sunshine and heat but I love winter where I can dress up in a possum wool and merino jumper, a cashmere scarf, mohair gloves and an alpaca coat. I don't envy you having to carry around hot buckets of water though. I would have loved to have visited the US and I would have gone to Washington and Oregon but that time has come and gone I'm afraid. At the moment it's 20:30 hours here and I'm lying in bed with a high velocity fan on high with my cats flopped in front of the front door where there's a slight breeze. Many blessings to you for 2022 and thank you sincerely for replying! Take care now.
@@michellesartori6695 Thank you very much. My days to travel to Australia are behind me as well though it is somewhere I've wanted to travel (and New Zealand as well). I don't know if goats are in your life at all (or on the edges), but someone who belongs to my favorite goat group started a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats there. If you know anything about the restrictions of importing, you know he jumped through unbelievable "hoops" to be able to do it. I have great admiration for him, as do many others, for his love of the animals and his perseverance of doing it. He joined the group in 2013.
@@GlennaVan Hello again Glenna and sorry it's taken me this long to reply again. Goats, I LOVE goats and I think they have great personalities. I love the cheese their milk makes as well. Having said that I wouldn't be able to have them where I currently live. Although I live on a 1/3rd of an acre I do not own this property and due to my physical disability I don't think I'd be able to care for them properly and I'm pretty sure I'd be out of a home fairly quickly too! I've never heard of the Nigerian dwarfs but I will look them up. I am aware that there are many additional hoops to jump through though with respect to imports and some exports with respect to Australia. I am a vegetarian and I never eat my friends however if a boutique farmer has an organic dairy product created at no harm to the animal I will indulge, but having given that caveat I understand that goats are eaten in most of the world. Best of luck to your friend and his goats too! Bye for now!
@@michellesartori6695 Goats really do have great personalities. Mine are as sweet as they can be and spoiled rotten. Their milk is incredible. I make custard ice cream and cream cheese mostly from it and have a waiting list of friends and family any extra. They bring much joy though, sadly, heartache when one is lost. I'm not a big meat eater but could never eat goat meat! I have friends who have (traveling out of the country) and am very aware that most of the boys go to freezer camp. I've been very fortunate to have found pet homes for my boys. I kept one exceptional buckling intact and sold him to a farm for their breeding buck. I also got one of his daughters to keep his line going here. I have 0.3 of an acre so the yard is big enough for the three I am allowed (city code). The neighbors love them. Mine are quiet so people didn't know I had them unless they actually saw them which is cool. For their size, Nigerian Dwarf goats give more milk than any other dairy animal. Mine are from a great dairy line so have had exceptional production and high butter fat (more cheese per ounce of milk). If you want to find me on Facebook and sent me a private message, I will send you the link to my goat website, outdated good info there. (User name is the same as here.)
Thank you for telling these stories with your heart. You show great empathy, dignity to the people involved and, yes, love. You are an amazing young woman, and I hope that 2022 is a year of joy. Oodles of blessings coming your way.
I have found that, in losing my mom this year, the pain was compounded by feeling let down by the ones I would expect to be there for me/my family. (I have basically 1 friend, and she forgot my birthday, 2 weeks after my mom passed). Sounds very similar to what you went through with your loss, and I am very sorry to hear that. Hopefully the coming year will be better all around.
Im sorry to hear of your Mums passing People move on and expect you to have as well With losing a parent mist people can empathise though.. It's worse when your child dies .. people just pretend your child didn't exist and can't understand your grief at all
@@user_angelmum It's absolutely worse when our child dies! When my son died, those I would have thought to be supportive simply disappeared. Many who I would never have considered would be there were there and extremely supportive. We just never know. More importantly, we must remember to not be the same as those who disappeared.
A fascinating story. I am a retired science teacher. Using critical thinking my students used forensic science and a unit we called ‘whodunnit?’. We had descriptive crime scenes and provided them with forensic evidence. In small groups they’d work together to solve the crimes. I had a very talented friend who was a forensic artist and came to our classes as a guest speaker every year. He explained his job in a very colorful but tasteful way. He worked for the sheriffs office, Maricopa County Arizona circa 1990 and helped identify John and Jane Does. He had a notebook with him with case files he’d worked on and he spoke with us about his findings. His departments success rate in identifying John and Jane Does were very high. It was a spine tingling and fascinating presentation. One year one of my students revealed that he had a prosthetic eye and even popped it out for us. If the prosthetic eye was found with the body I’m betting it would’ve had an identification on it. Glad I found you!
23:07 He resembles the picture of what one eyed Jack is supposed to look like, in my opinion. And I doubt he was ruled out by dental records because I assume if one eyed Jack was missing his Jawbone, wouldn't all his bottom teeth likely be missing with it? Therefore, they wouldn't have been able to get a full dental profile for one eyed Jack. 25:39 so does that guy, kind of but I don't think it is him because of his age and one eyed Jack's age.
Happy New Year, Gabby!! I sincerely hope that your this year is better than your last year. As for the Canadian change; as a Michigander, it isn't uncommon for us to have Canadian coins. We generally use them, and they are accepted as what they are: penny, quarter, etc. Since Idaho is a border state, I wonder if it's the same for them. I think Jesse helped himself to Jack's wallet and any cash.
The coin exchange is funny in that in Washington, many businesses don't care since they simply pass them on in change and others refuse them. Wonder what they would have done in the time when people paid with chickens or pounds of butter.
@Glenna Rose When I was younger, I was in Tennessee on vacation, and inadvertently gave the cashier a Canadian quarter, she said: This is foreign. I was all: It's Canadian. *it didn't occur to me that there were places that it was a big deal... 😀
As a Canadian who has lived all over the country, I can testify that we get a lot of American coins in our change. Our only reaction, due to the very unfavourable (for us!) exchange rate, is "Oh, look! Real money!" 💸
Oh Gabby, you must have known we'd love to close out the year with you! Happy New Year, sweets! May 2022 bring you and your loved ones much happiness, joy, love, and prosperity 💖 ✨
Thank you for the amazing research and work that you do as always. These cases are very interesting and at the same time they are sad. However, justice never ceases despite it may seem hopeless at times something unexpected and positive can be just right around the corner. I'm so glad that your channel, and the comments give you some therapy at times when traveling through life's road when it can get bumpy at sometimes. I wish you a very happy New Year! Sending you hugs!
What? If a hitchhiker was 'getting on his nerves' why not put him out of the car or leave him at a rest/gas stop? WTF? And I have to wonder if Jack was killed earlier and taken to Alaska as a dead body. Thank you for doing this.
Right? And why supposedly wait until he's almost to their destination to kill him? I think Jesse was actually lying (shocking I know) and projected it onto his victim. I have a feeling the second his victim nodded off he was slain.
This is pure speculation, no evidence whatsoever, but maybe there was a failed sexual advance on the part of the killer that he didn't want to admit to making, so he just came up with some stupid, nonspecific "motive"? It's happened plenty of times with female hitchhikers.
@@bluevioletandlilac That's exactly what I was thinking. To remember soooo many details about how he looked, down to the socks he was wearing, but no specific details about what happened or what was said in that car over two days. Taking the hitcher all the way to Alaska, when the place he was determined to go along the way. Hell, just the idea of agreeing to take a total stranger on a two day road trip. Saying he "lied alot" and "got on his nerves". Immediately confessing. The whole story is suspect.
You are making an assumption creeps like the killer have the same values, morals, and though processes we, as normal people, have. They don't. Hopefully, none of us would kill someone just because "they got on our nerves".
Jesse's story indeed sounds off.
Not asking his name?
Disposing of his ID but not any of the other things?
Jack spontaneously deciding to go to Alaska?
Killing him being the first thought of how to get rid of an annoying hitchhiker? Not leaving him?
All of that doesn't make sense. The name would be among the first things to ask, right next to asking why they're going there. The normal kind of smalltalk to ease the situation between two strangers.
Now the claim that Jack lied, okay, I can accept that. Telling some tall tales. There are people like that.
Just a little interesting information; good false eyes cost a lot of money, but you need a prosthetic to keep the muscles and the socket in good shape, which is why Jack had the marble which he probably used to keep the muscles and socket in trim, even if it didn´t look like a real eye. He had some kind of medical and rehab care to get that information, even if he didn´t get a proper prosthetic, or he lost the one he got and couldn´t replace it, so perhaps he had access to a VA or work insurance (not so likely doing logging, more likely if he was doing mill work). that last is pure guess work.
My guess is the killer ran into him in Canada, or going from Oregon to Alaska. It´s safer and easier to transport a living, cooperative person in the car than a dead person who can get you busted if you are caught. Perhaps Jack had money on him from working a job, money in American dollars or a paycheck and they needed it paid out in an American state before the killer took him out in Tok and dumped him. Tok is a tourist town and probably has lots of places to pay out money and a high turnover of people. Jackmight have offered topay for the ride when they could get the check paid out, and sealed his fate.
I think searching US and Canadian VA type records would be such a smart move. That wound had to be treated & missing eyes from trauma rather than cancer aren’t that common. Often if you’ve been wounded badly enough to lose the eye, you’ve lost your life. And we know it must have been an eye injury because evidence of the lost eye was left in the skull… so likely a remodeled orbital fracture is evident on the skull, probably multiple, where a chain or something heavy lashed across the eye socket or where a blade sliced the socket vs puncturing the eye.
You did a wonderful job researching this case. I agree that the killer was probably lying about the details. Hopefully the identity of this man will be discovered.
This man deserves his name back. He served our country. He deserves a full military service. Until then, thank you Jack for your service. Thank you Gabby for all the hard work you do.
Huh, I never heard of this case before. I hope with these advance of DNA technology, John Doe's actual name will be revealed because his family is still out there, missing him dearly and wanna know what happen to him.
We don't know if anyone is missing him. I have a relative who could disappear without anyone noticing, as she has effectively broken connection with all her family , even her own children, and all her friends.
I hope that One eyed Jack will get his identity back someday soon. I feel that we can't believe Jesse's story. One thing I do think is that he was killed way before arriving at Alaska then dumped there. I also believe Jesse knew his name. How can you be in a car with someone for two days and not know their name? Obviously there is more to the story than what Jesse said. Stay safe we love you too!
N ct.
It is interesting what you said as well about how the authorities seem pretty certain he had lost an eye while still alive (I mean even if there was some pretty serious damage to the bone surrounding the eye I can only imagine it would have had to be very extreme for them to be able to say that...the human body can be very interesting at times and it makes me wonder if there was some excessive bone healing around the eye socket which might have made it impossible to even wear a glass eye at the time?). I know you also mentioned they have a lot of 'evidence' that is not released to the public (maybe one of the things being how exactly they know he mostly was missing an eye while still alive). Hope this poor soul gets his name back soon!
if you look up One-Eyed Jack's case online, you can find a picture of the reconstruction process for one of his composites (the one covering his lower jaw), and you can see his left eye socket appears more deformed compared to the right one. I'm not familiar with bones or damage so I can't say anything about bone healing or how it would make him appear, but I thought I'd bring it up :)
Thanks for the info!
Also, they found an eye patch on him...
Did Jesse definitely kill him? It definitely wasn't a false confession just to get attention or to join a friend or relative of his who was in prison, right?
Interesting theory
I think he knew details.
I'm sorry that last year was tough for you, Gabby. May your dear Grandma rest in peace. Thank you for putting so much effort into these videos of yours. Your sensitivity and concern for the victims and their families is abundantly evident in every case you cover. And please don't ever lose that sparkle and sense of humor that makes you so endearing to watch! All the best in 2022 😊
I’m so glad I found your channel. You do so many cases that aren’t talked about very often. It’s refreshing and most importantly, brings awareness to forgotten or not-so-well-known cases. You genuinely seem to care about the people involved too. Happy New Year!
Happy 2022 from Australia. I truly hope you have a brilliant year full of fun, laughter, joy and love. Thank for presentations this last year and let’s all wish and work for Peace on Earth.
Great case gabby so sad that no one has found his true identity yet ? It always fascinated me when a person is never identified! Like they are not truly missed by anyone ? My worst nightmare I think. Happy New Years !
We love you Gabby! I look forward to your videos and love how much time and effort you put into theses cases. Thank you!
Love your videos Gabby 😍. Always excitedly waiting for new uploads. Loving you
Happy New Year, Gabby :) I hope 2022 is a happier year for you. I love your channel! Your videos are always so well-researched and interesting.
We love you and appreciate you!!
Happy New Year Gabby!! ❤️🎆🎊❤️
Maybe that guy Jesse told/confessed something to the victim something on the trip that could never be repeated...?
Happy New Year - your gramma is super proud of you.
Happy New Year Gabby ❤️ thanks for all your uploads x
It's my breakfast time and I always watch youtube when I did and do it. Thank you so much for upload new video in the right time, Gabby.
Happy New Year ❤️ Hopefully more doe cases will be solved this year!
Thank you for every single one of the interesting videos you upload for us!! Great health and happiness for you in the New Year!!
Happy New Year sweetheart!
Look at a guy named George Jack Beall, he is originally from Alaska or has been declared missing from Alaska. He had scarring around his left eye. He went missing in 1974. I did contact Alaska state troopers on this one. He looks similar to the sketch
Bless you. Hope 2022 is much better for u and us all.
Hey, Gabby! If you still do Classic Hollywood stories, can you do one on Bette Davis? 🥰 btw, nice video 👌🏾
Do you mean in relation to the mysterious death of her second husband, Arthur Farnsworth? 🤔
@@h.calvert3165 yeah, that too
Happy New Year Gabby! 💗
Just love your videos and channel. Wishing you the VERY best in 2022
Happy New year Gabby !!! Much love from England.
I live in Boise and before you commented I had the same thought - Jesse would have gone right through Pendleton to get to Alaska so what the hell? 😉
I was the 999th like! Very interesting case, I never heard of it. Great job Gabby ❤️
love you Happy New Year
Hello Gabby, Happy New Year! 💥⚡️🎆🌌🎇. Back in the day when dinosaurs (LOL) driver licenses were made of paper and could have disintegrated from rain and show. But…. I think he kept the wallet and tossed it later. It is also possible that while they were exchanging pleasantries, Jack told a couple of BS stories, hence he made mad.
I love you Gabby and I hope 2022 is a much better year for you xx
DNA probably will tell us who he was. You are beautiful Gabby, inside and out. Your spirit shines. I choose who I watch, and I have always liked you, your persona. I know how that is, strangers have treated me better than my own family. Odd how that works sometimes. God bless.
Such a sweet comment, touched my heart, thank you and happy new year! ❤️
@@gabulosis Thanks a lot Gabby. Happy New Year to you too! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I’m from Knysna, South Africa. I didn’t know much about this case but unfortunately it’s super normal here. We have 100s of murders each day in our country and the violence is normally extreme…especially against women, as we are one of the worst countries for gender violence
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🌟
I enjoy watching your videos. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year,Gabby. Let’s hope it’s a good one.
If he said he drove all across Canada and the US he's lying because Canada is far more than 2400 miles. Canada is 4, 860 miles coast to coast. That said you did such an amazing job on this case.
Damn... Hopefully he will be identified one day soon. 💛
Thank u for sharing your video ❤️💙💜💛
i could be wrong about this considering i know nothing about people with missing eyes but the fact that he was using a marble as an occasional fake eye definitely makes it seem like this was a man who didn’t have a lot of money or was a drifter and just didn’t want to stay in one place long enough to have some kind of replacement eye made
As A lifelong West Coast resident, I used Canadian money until 1986 or so. It was given as change and pretty much used anywhere. That was Oregon. I imagine in the 70s that both currencies would have been usable in AK. It butts up to Canada.
What if the killer did something that made his eye come out? And just said he had an eye patch. Wouldn’t they have found a leather eyepatch with the body?? And I think the guy was picked up in Canada. Why would a hitch hiker have Canadian money on him when he’s just going around the US?
Happy new year Gabby 🥳❤
Happy New Year!!!!
29:01 I feel called out
Choker cables are wrapped around felled trees to haul them out of the woods. If this guy got his head stuck in a choker cable he would be dead. If you were going up North to Alaska you'd definitely be packed for the extreme cold weather. You don't just go to Alaska without the proper clothing. It's cold up there!
Through the whole video l kept thinking if ever a case was rife for some DNA testing... The other thing that struck me as being VERY strange is the fact that this man so easily confessed to murder when most murderers wiggle and wriggle to avoid a well deserved murder charge. Was he looking for free room and board? It wouldn't be the first time. We have a case like that here in Canada .
The people they think he maybe - does any smoke. If a man with hardly any money makes sure he has winstons(2 packs) and matches. That would have been important to him (my dad was a heavy smoker, especially in the 70s). I bet he had been a big smoker for years.
How did they find his killer tho??? If he left enough evidence for himself to get caught, he would have left the id I would think
high winds or even just element changes could have blown it away or covered it up
Hey Gabby I can't seem to access your Twitter. Are you still on there?
Since the pandemic, I haven't had my ID but I also don't care if I'm identified plus I would be dead right.
Would an animal take a leather wallet? My cat loves leather.
Maybe Jesse borrowed one eyed Jacks wallet or ID committed a crime and would not give the wallet back and that’s why Jack was “getting on his nerves”
weird thing to ask but did the cops rule out jack being jesse's family member with DNA?
Is there no DNA 🧬 for them to run? (Like the family dna?) and I love watching your videos! Good job!
Sorry, I jumped the gun!! U just answered my question!! 😂
Thank you for pronouncing 'Boise" correctly.
Jessie probably murdered him not long after picking him up. Stoke all his belongings, stuffed him in the trubk and then dumped him in tok. Tossing his ID along the way.
Good thing I never killed people who got on my nerves.......I would be a mass murderer by now!! LOL!
right?! 😂
I try not to be a downer about these things; people leave their families for all sorts of reason, and the families don't report for all sorts of reasons. I used to work in the court, and I saw my share of people whose toxicity was so great that family and friends didn't care if they left or not. Jack may have been a really nice guy and he may not have been. Being an unknown corpse doesn't mean he was loved. As far as his corpse being scattered; youi can add to the possible culprits, coyotes, badgers, wolverines, bears, and wolves. We're just on the menu up there.
sad but very true!
Hey 👋
With all the progress they’ve made in genetic DNA , etc.. you’d think they could, at some point, ID him..
he saw his ID.
Where'd it go?
I think the killer got rid of it.
what I don't get is why he'd go through all that trouble to hide the guys identity but then turn around and confess?
So glad I saw someone else comment this! Who the heck confesses, doesn't sound like he was pressured at all, gives such a dumb reason and yet wants to hide the guys identity. Usually people do everything they can to not get caught so to tell lies (presumably) about other things yet to tell the truth about the biggest part that results in him being in jail til his death, that doesn't make any sense!
Maybe One Eyed Jack was never reported missing. He may have told his family, if he had any, that he was going away, and not to look for him. At that maybe he had both eyes and later lost it at a work accident.
It's so heartbreaking that so many Jane and John Doe's are out there with no justice and their name lost. I hope that one one they can all get justice and their names back.
I hope you're okay Gabby and the new year brings you happiness. Sending love from the UK. Keep going girl, you've got this 😘💪🏼
As an avid hitch hiker - there is one piece of this puzzle that is most important.
The most important fact in this case is that Jesse had to get Jack through Canada and back into US soil to get him to Alaska. That's two boarder patrol crossings where people keep record of who went in and out.
I have hitchhiked across country lines before (mostly in Europe). So I know that to get Jack across the boarder, it happened one of two ways. 1. Jack was not visible to boarder patrol and Jesse took the risk of smuggling him in - dead or alive - or 2. Jack had to show proof of ID to a boarder patrol agent. Today it would be a passport but maybe back then a state ID or drivers license might be enough.
In option 2. I have always seen where the other passenger keeps their ID. We all have to take them out when a boarder patrol agent asks for them. We all have to put them away. It is absurd to me that Jesse could not know where the ID is unless Jack was being smuggled in. Have we found the car or Jack's belongings? His ID should be in there. Its a rare hitchhiker that will hitchhike with no pack. I don't know any hitchhikers that would travel to cold locations where they don't know anyone without a backpack at least. You either hold it on your lap etc. or it's put in the trunk or back seat to make everyone comfortable. Jesse should remember..
And did the boarder patrol agents not record who had gone in and out? Do they not have record of Jesse and someone going into Canada with their names attached? I know it's not recent but still. You'd imagine that there'd be something.
So, smuggling in, option 1... there's usually a reason why. Either Jack couldn't legally go to Canada or he didn't have his ID or there was a fee for getting into Canada... or he was already dead.
Now, smuggling a dead body in through Canada and then back to the USA through Alaska... that's the work of a daredevil who practically wants to get caught. It doesn't make sense for Jesse to then drop Jack off in the wilderness so that Jesse would never get caught. Either he has other motives or Jesse doesn't act rationally. Something is going on with his brain.
I propose the theory that he was a bold dare devil smuggling a body through Canada, hoping to get caught and then in his disappointment dumping the body and belongings separately.
This is a very odd case. And I think that it's fueled by mental illness.
Don't forget that with the adoption of the Schengen Area in 1995 most european countries don't have any border controls between them.
But even with border checks I doubt they would record who exactly went in and out. They would only check that they're allowed to, and if all is fine, let them move.
I crossed that border many times and there were no records kept. Since 9-11 everything changed.
I crossed from the U.S to Canada and back several times in the 1970's and never showed ID. Things were way more casual back then.
I have to agree with a previous comment, regarding Jack having been dead in the car before he was eventually dumped. As far as the ID card goes, I'm thinking it might have been left in the car or lost in the car and later discovered and just tossed out on the road later when found. Quite possibly the murderer may have kept the card and tried to use it for himself later in Alaska (for whatever reason-- did he have a previous record, etc or a warrant for his arrest?) I hope they are able to work his DNA for a match. Thanks for the great work--- and a happy and healthy new year to you!
It is my opinion that he was a foster child from the baby boomer period, and had served in Viet Nam after aging out of the system. This would explain where he had no "loved ones" to inquire after him. I think the authorities should use reverse-aging process to determine approximately what he would have looked like in his late teens, early twenties, and then send check foster system cases in the states he claimed to have lived in; also compare it to enlisted men from Viet Nam.
What if Jesse was super twisted in the head and wanted to make the police, the public, and One Eyed Jack's loved ones wonder aimlessly about his identity? As some sort of a sick mind game.
Yeah you can't make any inferences or assumptions about people, especially not people like that
Jack stated that he was in a workplace accident while working as a logger. Does anyone know if police looked into Idaho worker's comp claims or workplace accidents that resulted in someone losing an eye? It seems really specific and rare (at least I'd hope) of something to happen. Something that rare should have some kind of record, even if it was just a hospital bill.
Yes i did....i tried osha and newspapers
@@charleneshaden.n516 Thank you for chiming in! I appreciate it!
What if One Eyed Jack wasn't actually from that state, or even America?
@@j.munday7913 I definitely thought about that, but I feel like that is pretty unlikely. Unless he came to the country illegally for work (which could be totally possible), there would be a more concrete record of him being here. He would be on the government's radar. If there were more concrete evidence of this, hypothetically saying that he was, the police likely could've found him by now. Not finding the ID with him is really frustrating, as I feel like there would be some mention of that on that card. Though if we found that, he'd be identified by now. If he were planning to travel, and he were indeed from another country, I imagine he'd carry a passport with him all the time.
That does make me wonder about his car, if he had one. If he wanted to drive or travel to another state, that car has to be somewhere. Though if he did in fact choose to hitchhike like Bishop said, that car could be anywhere or it could be nowhere.
Really good point though! Thank you for chiming in!!
He was a hippie hitch hiker. I doubt he was being paid in a way other than just cash . I think the killer took his eye out possibly
What about collecting DNA from "Jack's" skeletal remains, Gabby? I'm sure you're right about the victim having a wallet. I'm guessing Jessie probably stole it. You did an amazing video on this puzzling case, Gabby, and I hope that one day we will know who this unfortunate man really was. Wishing you all the best for 2022!!!
What many people don't take into account is that it is expensive to exhume remains and run DNA. If there are no funds available and law enforcement is not on board with finding out, then it's unlikely to happen. I don't know where that stands in this case, but there would have to be sufficient interest and funds first.
I wonder if any of the detectives have talked to old loggers in Oregon? Someone would remember the guy that got his head stuck & subsequently lost his eye. (?) I hope DNA finds his family & identification.
Wishing you the best in 2022, Gabby!
Thanks for the work you do. 🥰
There's something that guy doesn't want us to know for sure.
Most roads in Alaska are backwoods along with our driveways. What a miracle they even found him! I hope they find his identity. Happy New year, cheers
Your delivery is just perfect, great content as always Gabby. I love your lip color what shade and company? Also Happy New Year to everyone. Stay safe and wishing you all the absolute best year ahead.

Hope you enjoy the channel 😀 😊
I remember reading about this case. The guy killed him because he said "he was getting on my nerves"
I'm an ICU Nurse..I love these older cases and your channel. I was especially touched by the end of your one eyed Jack video..because I watch your channel to distract myself from the all the people I've seen die from Covid. I don't watch you enough to have a sense of why your life has been heavy..but obviously Covid affects pretty much everyone. I just wanted to.point out the irony...here you are obviously also having alot of pain..yet I watch your channel to escape mine. I wish I had a channel for you to watch.♡
Someone must know him, he’s so distinctive.
My guess on why he went to Alaska was for work. He was supposedly an experienced logger. Losing an eye would effect depth perception & limit his options but there are still jobs in the industry that he'd have been qualified for. And, you could make a lot more money logging in Alaska than Oregon.
I'm in Washington, I've had friends & family in logging & fishing and I've seen people go to Alaska for both because the pay is better. Usually (especially in the past) because the working conditions are worse, the jobs /scheduling is more intense and often they'd be assigned bunk house style accommodations. Nothing fancy, sometimes not even comfortable, with no privacy & rental charges too high for what they got but still much less than in the lower 48.
People often go seasonally to work & return with enough cash that they don't have to work the rest of the year. It's perfect for transient people since almost no one stays year round. There's not much to do, other jobs are scarce & permanent family housing was difficult to find (I also knew a few women who went to work as strippers for all the same reasons plus the lack of women in the area. They'd go up for a month or two & come back set for a year.)
If I had the skillet & I'm heading home to Oregon and a guy offers a ride to Alaska, I'd probably jump on it.
It's so very sad that there are so many people missing that "could have been" One Eyed Jack. I pray that all of those families have closure soon.
I think he was mostly being honest. He didn't have to admit to anything! He may have omitted some info about his last hours.
Happy New Year Gabby! Here is to a better year and keep up the great doing what you do!
Oh Gabby, a very Happy New Year to you too. I hope that you were able to have a fun NYE and that you realise that you've done some good work in 2021 and likely helped a lot of people. I loved what you said about being in an empty room uploading the video but knowing that you will get lots of comments after its posted. We love you too and genuinely care about your health and your whole well-being. It's a tough subject digging into true crime and it can be emotionally exhausting. Here in Australia it's 2022, about 12:30 pm and although I went to bed way before midnight as I was exhausted after gardening, I did wake up at 3:30 so that I got to see the first sunrise of the year. I like that and it was a beautiful sunrise. Take care now Gabby and we'll be here when you upload in January! All the best!

@@GlennaVan Thank you Glenna. You're in Sasquatch country out there. Lots of strange creatures wandering about in those woods, not joking!

I don't envy you having to carry around hot buckets of water though.

@@michellesartori6695 Thank you very much. My days to travel to Australia are behind me as well though it is somewhere I've wanted to travel (and New Zealand as well). I don't know if goats are in your life at all (or on the edges), but someone who belongs to my favorite goat group started a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats there. If you know anything about the restrictions of importing, you know he jumped through unbelievable "hoops" to be able to do it. I have great admiration for him, as do many others, for his love of the animals and his perseverance of doing it. He joined the group in 2013.
@@GlennaVan Hello again Glenna and sorry it's taken me this long to reply again. Goats, I LOVE goats and I think they have great personalities. I love the cheese their milk makes as well. Having said that I wouldn't be able to have them where I currently live. Although I live on a 1/3rd of an acre I do not own this property and due to my physical disability I don't think I'd be able to care for them properly and I'm pretty sure I'd be out of a home fairly quickly too! I've never heard of the Nigerian dwarfs but I will look them up. I am aware that there are many additional hoops to jump through though with respect to imports and some exports with respect to Australia. I am a vegetarian and I never eat my friends however if a boutique farmer has an organic dairy product created at no harm to the animal I will indulge, but having given that caveat I understand that goats are eaten in most of the world. Best of luck to your friend and his goats too! Bye for now!
@@michellesartori6695 Goats really do have great personalities. Mine are as sweet as they can be and spoiled rotten. Their milk is incredible. I make custard ice cream and cream cheese mostly from it and have a waiting list of friends and family any extra. They bring much joy though, sadly, heartache when one is lost. I'm not a big meat eater but could never eat goat meat! I have friends who have (traveling out of the country) and am very aware that most of the boys go to freezer camp. I've been very fortunate to have found pet homes for my boys.
I kept one exceptional buckling intact and sold him to a farm for their breeding buck. I also got one of his daughters to keep his line going here. I have 0.3 of an acre so the yard is big enough for the three I am allowed (city code). The neighbors love them. Mine are quiet so people didn't know I had them unless they actually saw them which is cool.
For their size, Nigerian Dwarf goats give more milk than any other dairy animal. Mine are from a great dairy line so have had exceptional production and high butter fat (more cheese per ounce of milk).
If you want to find me on Facebook and sent me a private message, I will send you the link to my goat website, outdated good info there. (User name is the same as here.)
Thank you for telling these stories with your heart. You show great empathy, dignity to the people involved and, yes, love. You are an amazing young woman, and I hope that 2022 is a year of joy. Oodles of blessings coming your way.
I have found that, in losing my mom this year, the pain was compounded by feeling let down by the ones I would expect to be there for me/my family. (I have basically 1 friend, and she forgot my birthday, 2 weeks after my mom passed). Sounds very similar to what you went through with your loss, and I am very sorry to hear that. Hopefully the coming year will be better all around.
I’m so sorry to hear that 😔 my condolences and sending lots of love your way!
Im sorry to hear of your Mums passing
People move on and expect you to have as well
With losing a parent mist people can empathise though..
It's worse when your child dies .. people just pretend your child didn't exist and can't understand your grief at all
@@user_angelmum It's absolutely worse when our child dies! When my son died, those I would have thought to be supportive simply disappeared. Many who I would never have considered would be there were there and extremely supportive. We just never know. More importantly, we must remember to not be the same as those who disappeared.
With advances in genetic genealogy, they're identifying a lot of crime victims as well as killers.
A fascinating story. I am a retired science teacher. Using critical thinking my students used forensic science and a unit we called ‘whodunnit?’. We had descriptive crime scenes and provided them with forensic evidence. In small groups they’d work together to solve the crimes. I had a very talented friend who was a forensic artist and came to our classes as a guest speaker every year. He explained his job in a very colorful but tasteful way. He worked for the sheriffs office, Maricopa County Arizona circa 1990 and helped identify John and Jane Does. He had a notebook with him with case files he’d worked on and he spoke with us about his findings. His departments success rate in identifying John and Jane Does were very high. It was a spine tingling and fascinating presentation. One year one of my students revealed that he had a prosthetic eye and even popped it out for us. If the prosthetic eye was found with the body I’m betting it would’ve had an identification on it.
Glad I found you!
23:07 He resembles the picture of what one eyed Jack is supposed to look like, in my opinion. And I doubt he was ruled out by dental records because I assume if one eyed Jack was missing his Jawbone, wouldn't all his bottom teeth likely be missing with it? Therefore, they wouldn't have been able to get a full dental profile for one eyed Jack.
25:39 so does that guy, kind of but I don't think it is him because of his age and one eyed Jack's age.
A lot of times, only top OR bottom is necessary to make an identification. Usually both are only used in especially tough cases, or to double-check.
Happy New Year, Gabby!!
I sincerely hope that your this year is better than your last year.
As for the Canadian change; as a Michigander, it isn't uncommon for us to have Canadian coins. We generally use them, and they are accepted as what they are: penny, quarter, etc. Since Idaho is a border state, I wonder if it's the same for them. I think Jesse helped himself to Jack's wallet and any cash.
Happy new years to you too! I totally agree with your opinion
The coin exchange is funny in that in Washington, many businesses don't care since they simply pass them on in change and others refuse them. Wonder what they would have done in the time when people paid with chickens or pounds of butter.
@Glenna Rose When I was younger, I was in Tennessee on vacation, and inadvertently gave the cashier a Canadian quarter, she said: This is foreign.
I was all: It's Canadian.
*it didn't occur to me that there were places that it was a big deal... 😀
@@busratz Happy New Year!!
May your this year be better than your last.
As a Canadian who has lived all over the country, I can testify that we get a lot of American coins in our change. Our only reaction, due to the very unfavourable (for us!) exchange rate, is "Oh, look! Real money!" 💸
Maybe he wasn't a hitchhiker maybe Jesse and him knew each other they could have been doing something illegal and he killed to keep him quiet
That makes a lot of sense as to why he was so vague. Maybe he was also protecting others involved.
Oh Gabby, you must have known we'd love to close out the year with you!
