- Clifford Olson Jr. was never taught consequences when he was young. He learned that he could just take whatever he wanted. When he became an adult, what he wanted was sex from children.

“When she began mentioning marriage, Clifford broke up with her” what a BULLET that woman dodged and she didn’t even realize it.
to be fair they both dodged a bullet
Most don't even realize that being rejected, treated whatever odd way, ignored, seen as ?!?!?! and or ghosted (and whatever other term is typical used now) is a plus! Matter fact being able to see through what most believe that they're hiding about themselves will eliminate having to experience such oddness. Instead most will want to know why, go out of their way to be nicer to them only to become insecure because they have no idea what good connections look or feel like.
I know right? what a douchebag

Word
To the boy who threw this monster through a window. I hope he’s having a fantastic life
Agreed 👍🏻
Agreed, but should’ve finished the job
Wish he'd managed to break something in the process
Me 2👍💜
Yes. Thank you for your service, my good man!
Respect to the brother who threw him through a window.
Wish he did more than that, like choke the life out of the demon
Yeah " brothers" are real heroes.
@@megamus3 in this context it was literally the brother of the victim lol
Too bad he didn’t have his throat cut on the glass, from the window
How is it that there's always an ignorant bigot in the comment section? Do they work in shifts or something?
I was exhausted by this guy's crimes before he even started his murders! Jeez. But, that's just even more evidence of how amazing your research is!
Well damn 😂😂😂
His sentence was a complete joke! The authorities are almost complicit with his depraved crimes. That’s liberals for you …
It's heartbreaking to think the cops just seem to have done nothing about any of these missing children. They where treated horrendously
Exactly, he had a long history of crime before he started killing
The whole thing of cops putting missing kids down to runaways makes me so angry. Like 12 year olds are just moving states, starting a whole new life and living happily ever after never to be heard from again 🤬
There is a whole group of marginalised peoples that are preyed on by serial killers because police and society cares a lot less about them, usually referred to as the ‘less dead’. They include migrants, people from ethnic minorities, the poor, sex workers and members of the LGBT community. Sad thing is, really hasn’t changed much. The taboo about child abuse has come down a bit and amber alerts have been introduced but there are still cases where effect responses are delayed.
^ What David said. Cops are useless at protecting victims, but when it comes to minorities and the poor, they're worse than useless, they may as well giftwrap those poor kids.
@@davidjordan697 Horrifyingly, some police stations had the classification of NHI for the groups you listed, well into the 90s (No Humans Involved). It's sick.
@@davidjordan697
Many of those you list are perpetrators as well.
@@dianem6951 Can you elaborate which ones in the list are perpetrators and what they are... perpetrating?
A child being a “runaway from a bad family” isn’t enough of an excuse to stop searching for them. Even if that means rehousing them into loving families. Smh
But it was
Your moral judgments hold no weight
Seriously. 100% agree.
@@AirSullivan504 no weight to whom? do you think OP thinks that saying that will take us all back in time and force the police to act? no, they're just expressing their feelings.
Check the facts and be absolute before ever removing children
The amount of pain and suffering he caused in four short years is unimaginable.
If the police had done their job it could have been stopped sooner.
I became exhausted and sickened listening to all of the murders being recounted. This one was really hard to get through. A true monster.
Im absolutely speechless.I cant believe he slaughtered & raped so many children before he got caught
This one was at least easier to follow. He's had a few videos of these Monsters where you needed a scorecard to keep up with names/crimes/etc.; having to go back and rewatch it several times just to understand it.
At what point does the justice system have to realize that people like him are never going to be rehabilitated?
I don’t think they truly think he’d be rehabilitated. They just don’t care.
No they do all the time. They just cherry pick which ones to be harsh with.
They dont care because it's for the lower classes to deal with
Funny, they are harsh with drug addicts but burglars, violent offenders, child predators? Give them a break! It was just an oopsie! Drug addicts, people smuggling drugs to feed their families, and drug dealers selling drugs to support their own habits. Throw away the key!!! We don’t want anyone but us, the government, profiting off selling drugs!
its the politicians who push the DA's and make the rules. look at how bad things are right now in some cities. criminals are in a revolving door. release the same day after murdering
I grew up in Vancouver and was 13 at time this started. I remember my Dad sitting my brother and I down to talk about being safe and that someone bad was out there killing young people. We would often catch the bus downtown and back to go to the beach. That summer we promised my Dad to do things in groups and not alone. It was an eerie time.
God bless your dad. It was that way for me with the night stalker, and I do the same with my grands about everyone!
Good morning. Thanks for the stories. Have a great day.
I want to give a thumb up.. but that seems inappropriate. What is up in BC WTF Omg I thought Austin Texas wuh rate fugged up
💔😔💔
Thanks for sharing, love reading personal details about the topic.
The incompetence and laziness of all the agencies involved is just disgusting. Us Canadians are not happy with our justice system. I am so sorry for the loss of all the victims families.
It happens in the US as well unfortunately.
The fact that Paul Bernardo was moved to a medium security prison, a yr ago shows our laws don't protect us from very dangerous sexual deviants; it is infuriating.
Someone commented on another video I was watching praising our justice system. I thought it was the most ignorant comment.
I'm so happy to see you calling attention to the misconception that there's a waiting period before a person can be reported as missing. Even the police perpetuate this ridiculous myth!
that’s how it got started the police .
When the police doesn't aid, what can you do? It may as well be a real law
Imagine having a glass barrier on your prison cell like Hannibal Lecter, except when people ask "Is he really that dangerous?" they answer "No, it's just plexiglass to block the pee cups"
🤢 😂
It should be part of his punishment… have bodily fluids of all descriptions thrown at him incessantly!
Tragic they protect him but when it came to the public they were too busy having a circle jerk in the squad car.
I wondered how many cups of pee hit him before he finally got plexiglass.
Hearing this all makes me wonder was there any crimes he DIDN'T do. Good work as always, this is definitely one of the worst monsters I've ever heard of.
It really is this man is a monster 10 times more smh 😕
He likely never committed white collar crimes like insider trading or whatever. Either way, fuck him.
Gluttony is a sin... oh wiat..he was a glutton for sex. never mind XD hes done them all. XDXD
On a serious note, hes a real peice of work..... hes just evil. hes should have been locked up permanetly long before
Criminal versatility.
I know. He really kept busy.
A guy I knew in Vancouver was stopped while riding his bike by Olsen. My friend said that he and his buddy were about 12, and rode quickly away. I wish we’d bring back capital punishment in Canada. Monsters like this can never reform.
Is it just me or does a “runaway child” not represent the very definition of Missing Endangered Child? I’ve heard this played over and over in all the countries of the world. It’s so tragic, especially in this day and age of information sharing. Thank you Monsters
It's lazy police and victim blaming. "My child is missing and has no money or a car, I'm really worried they could be deathly injured."
"Just wait it out."
"Clifford Olson died in prison" is the best ending to this very sad and heartbreaking story.
he died in peace; he deserved worse
I would've liked an ending where he suffered immeasurable pain and agony, being tortured by other convicts, and at a far younger age. He lived too long.
@@fadetoblond Me too. Or the wood chipper ending.
@@meghancass3187 ❤ Exactly! 😉
🎉
what a piece of work. This guy is completely deranged... RIP to all his victims and their families..
It's so sad! Most parents always say "I NEVER thought it'd be my kid," then there is shit like this they have to come to grips with.
@@elliottryan13 but his parents cosigned on his shit. Just imagine being ignored as a male by your father that is present in the home.......and you're mom isn't disciplining you when you're caught doing dirt to old folk. Believe it or not, there are adults that won't punish or discipline kids that they want to see self destruct. If you ain't being raised to be and think outstandingly.......for some kids they'll run wild as there's no self control.. This is a hard pill to swallow, but it's a reality.
@@junglekutz5625 LMFAO! IDK why you are sending this I.was LITERALLY just having a conversation with my brothers wife about the responsibility parents play when shit hits the fan with "crazy" children. They make the kids crazy, you are so correct. I do appreciate your feedback though. Take care of yourself and if you have kids...DISCIPLINE THEM!
@@elliottryan13 reading your comment reminded me of "adults" and "parents" that I knew that were like this. In every situation, the kid handed them their ass ......on a platter. It's the type of full circle moment.(whether or not you witness it) that's disturbing......
@@junglekutz5625 Dude it's EXTREMELY disturbing as well as disappointing. I know it's been said before but ALL children deserve GREAT parents, but not all parents deserve GREAT children.
That's what I was told, when I was 5 years old and told my Mom about the boys down the street molesting me: "They're from a good Catholic family". Does that make horrific actions okay? Are the 'good Catholic boys' allowed to do anything they want to everyone else? Even now, at almost 70 years old, this phrase brings back terrible memories.
God's will
Maybe they were getting it in the ass from a 'good paedophile priest'
Yeh!!! Just go to confession , whilst the priest listens(covertly ) to all the sordid details of your thoughts and deeds, then Voila, you’re forgiven. A clean slate , until next time!!!!
What an absolute monster. Disgusting FVCK ups by the cops, and unforgivable acts by this creep. So gross. Thank you, again, for sharing these stories. And, thank you for remembering the victims and giving them more life, so to speak.
I grew up in the lower mainland during the Olson Era. I was about 13 yrs. My brother went to school with Simon Partington. We were not allowed to go anywhere without a parent or adult for a long time, even after he was caught. Two things that really stand out, we went shopping with my mum and I had gotten ahead of her. I turn the corner and she had a full on panic attack because she couldn't see me anymore. Full on screaming and crying panic like I had never seen before. Then when they caught him, we were watching the news and dad went pale and said "Holy Fuck! That's Creepy Cliffy!" (first time I heard him say the F word!) Dad had gone to school with him. He said he was a weirdo from the start and it didn't really surprise him. I also worked with someone who would babysit for him sometimes. She said he was kinda creepy, but seemed ok enough. Scratch the surface of any Olson Era kid, you'll find a Creepy Cliffy story, either something about him or the state of fear he had us in. It was a joyous day when that bastard finally died. I hope whatever cancer was eating him was rabid, drawn out, and painful.
I remember the mini parades of people celebrating his death downtown vancouver in 2011.
It was surreal.
@@brianpj5860 it was not a sad day, that's for sure.
@pmpk4757. Yeah bro those Olsen twins are some fucked up little bitches……….. very creepy indeed. Lol.
Indeed
What is the Olson era? Some Canadian thing? Or was it the years where the Olson twins were making twin movies? 🧐
I'm shocked at the amount of details you've uncovered. This story was told so thoroughly, that I truly could feel the horror of each murder, as if it were in my neighborhood. True crime is an interest that I've had since being a teenager. Learning why these horrible people, do what they choose to do, makes me better equipped to live in the society we find ourselves in these days. I'm grateful for the knowledge that people like you uncover.
I don't think this video has uncovered any new information that was not already known to the public. He just compiles videos from existing resources, he doesn't do any investigative journalism like other channels
Much of this ‘information’ was completely made up by the media. Adding tantalizing information, in order to sell stories, was just as common then as it is now.
@@BulkernatorKerb Well, here in the UK, I'd never heard of Clifford 🤷🏽♀️ so well done Mr Monsters for pulling all this info together
@@BulkernatorKerb
He did do some investigating on one story. I forgot his name but it was the one where the person was shot and the police were interrogating him while he had a bullet in his head. He interviewed the father. The young man eventually died.
I’m just saying that’s one where he did investigate. Otherwise I agree with you.
Sometimes he’ll talk about someone who had a gun that wasn’t ‘registered’. Someone can illegally have a firearm, but no one should be registering one. I don’t know who does that. It’s against the Constitution to require someone to register their firearm.
The anti gun people aren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.
This case left my jaw dropped throughout the entire thing. Great video. Such a sad story.
My goodness, I can't imagine not reporting my child missing for 5-10 days...... That's incredibly sad.
How was he getting all these kids to drink beer with him??? This was an insane story, thanks for another great video
the hide everything generation. because everyone is so judgmental. i feel like being like that literally offered their kids up to these kinds of scenarios.
At that age I too was afraid to day no to adults including my parents. I had to be nice to cat callers and harassers
Just insane. The police being terrible seems so common in these stories.
Also crazy how back then people just got in strangers cars and took drinks from them.
Different times. Canadian police were and are incompetent.
@@tessaducek5601 As a Canadian, I couldn’t agree more. Time and time again our police have failed us and proceeded to blatantly lie about it.
Canadian justice system is a joke.
@@thecynic9232 They have a justice system?
I grew up in th e80's. If an adult offered me alcohol even as a kid I would've thought something was wrong with the person. I'd be thinking a good adult knows that kids should not drink and wouldn't offer me alchohol. Even as a kid you had some kind of common sense, it's innate.
I'm floored with this, as child who grew up in this area; my heart breaks for all of the children he harmed. The 1980's was at times the best Era to grow up and also not, the fear this man put into us as children and stranger danger awareness grew - our freedom lessened and nightmares ensued.
This one is truly a monster.
Apparently it was one of the best times to be a criminal!!
@@kated3165 it was in Canada. The 1970’s to the late 1980’s was the “Golden Era”of criminality & crime!
"When Clifford got home from work, which was him buying and returning goods from various stores…" 🤣
This must've been a particularly brutal one to research, write and narrate. Y'all are the most thorough and unflinching reporters of true crime. 👏👏👏
Wow! I Never expected to see you do this.
This guy was talked about, as a real life Boogyman for us kids growing up in That area. The first real life example of “Stranger Danger” that I can remember being referenced as a warning to our generation of unsupervised children.
Thanks for shedding WAY more light onto this monster from my childhood.
Agreed, I did not know about his childhood or his father.The apple dosen't fall far from the tree.
Yep, I remember my parents talking about him many times. I’ve seen a lot of videos that cover Pickton, but never Olson.
I was born in Maple Ridge in 78, we all heard about him growing up. My mother babysat Cathy Pozabon so he was the boogeyman for us too. I'm surprised there isn't more content done about him. Thank you MONSTERS.
Wow, you and I both!
I grew up for a time in Surrey near a park where a body was found. At 5 years old (1980-81) it was also my first experience being told about evil men and their potential harm they could cause me. I still remember my mom pointing at an entry to the park and telling us kids that if we entered there, we could be killed. It was a serious wake up call to a naive kid.
@@kristyp2585 So I grew up in Surrey fearing Clifford Olson, and I have no idea who Cathy Pozabon is.. less than 20 kms from where I lived. I will google his name, but I feel like up here in Canada we don't talk about our evil neighbours (so to speak) like they do in the US (I am assuming "Monsters" is US based). I suspect I prefer American style transparency, but maybe it's good to not go overboard on psychopaths so as to create panic? What do you think @Kristy P?
Police in the 1970's finding the lower half of a teenager's body:
"Hmm, his upper-half must have been having trouble at home. It's probably just a runaway, I'm sure the torso will turn up fine in a few weeks."
Ikr!!
And when he openly admitted to having sex with children, no one arrested him???
Yeah, I guess they didn't come from a "GOOD CATHOLIC FAMILY "
This guy was definitely a monster .. shocking his spree lasted for so long. Heartfelt condolences to all the families.
Of all your stories, this one takes the cake, I found it difficult to listen to, although I did, this is the most messed up MONSTER I can remember . It just kept going on and on and the police were no help whatsoever. Your the best at what you do thanks for enlightening us on true MONSTERS.
Imaging being 10 years old and being an experienced criminal. My mom would've put me down...
Thank you for covering this case. My mother was almost a victim of this monster. She saw his van in an alleyway as she was walking home one night and made a sprint for her life. She was 14 at the time.
Almost? So nobody can or asked.. Cool!
That would have been terrifying for your mother, in so glad she got away
@@TannerisSmol97 ??? Just sharing that this guy was the real deal and people were terrified at the time.
Omg
Saw "his van"?
So Clifford Olson drove a van that said "this is Clifford Olsons van".
I call bs.
oooooh, I'm so excited for this one!! This serial killer approached my cousin and I at Lougheed Mall when we were in Elementary School offering us a job washing windows in the apartments beside the mall for $10/hr which was like $50 now as wages were about $2/hr at the time. We told our parents more to boast about being offered a job and they called the Police and we were interviewed. I was about 8 at the time and I'm 53 now, this is a chill I will never stop feeling whenever I think of how lucky we were/are! Even though I moved an hour away from my childhood home, I now reside about 3 blocks from where one of his female victims was discarded. May all of his victims rest in peace and may their families find comfort all these years later
My auntie had an encounter with who she believes was Olson. She’d snuck out and was walking home around 5am when a truck started following her slowly. She started running and lost the truck when she hid behind someone’s hedge. The truck stopped there and she heard the driver breathing heavily for a while before he drove off.
I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have WAY more subscribers! This and Somewhere Sinister are my absolute favorites! The level of detail is incredible!
Half a million is quite a bit especially since they've only been around for a year
Bro. It shocks me!!!! Jiles should be averaging a minimum of 1m views omg
Too many people stuck on that crazy, arm waving, lying MrBallen. He makes up so much crap but people lick up his 💩. This channel is awesome along with That Chapter.
@@user-gj1me4mf5c Erm. What's wrong with Mr Ballen (genuine question)?
@@user-gj1me4mf5c man what? I love Giles, Mike and Mr. Ballen, he doesn't make anything up, his stories are extremely well sourced. His storytelling is engaging and he has a format that works perfectly for his content. If you dislike him fine, but just because he has a couple million subs doesn't mean people just eat his shit up, he's earned his viewership just like Giles and Mike. Stop hating, it's the worst disease to have.
What a disturbing story. Even though I was a child in the 60's, my parents always warned me about people making me an offer that seemed too good to be true; i.e. $10/hr jobs. My parents were hesitant for me to take a job making $1.25/hr selling raffle tickets over the phone for a police charity! We had more personal freedom but more personal responsibility as well.
I am disgusted by the number of times LE assumes a missing person is a runaway....
Good on your parents! After watching a lot of true crime videos, I was left wondering if any parents had any sense back in the day...
My parents told me that when an adult male accosted me at age 6 at the elementary school that there was nothing to do about it so we didn’t need to talk about it. All parents aren’t equal unfortunately
@@This-Is-My-Little-Corner I'm so very sorry. I hope you have found healing...
@@This-Is-My-Little-Corner I'm sorry your parents didn't stand by you.
I was just going to ask: Was it normal for kids to just... accept a job from a stranger and go with them? I realize it was a different time and $10 sounded great, but that strikes me as bizarre at best.
It was this case (I'm from Vancouver Island) that made me realize that we need to abolish concurrent sentencing for multiple crimes.
I'm also a Canadian and discussed by our police, in this case and also the Pickton case. Thoughts and prayers to all of the victims and their families.
Omg! Every time I thought this couldn’t get any worse it DEFINITELY DID! Wow! Of all of the Monsters, this one has to be in the top 5. 😳😳😳
Edit: I changed my mind…… He’s in the top 3
Same, it just kept escalating.
This is why I like how the kids these days feel comfortable being rude to adults and I encourage my little sisters to say no to random adults when the adult asks for help. Or my sisters can tell them that they should look for another adult since what kind of help can a child provide??
The tally of crimes at the end was mind boggling, yet he got 25 years. Sure he died in prison but the thought that he may have gotten out was spine chilling. You just know that no matter what age he was he’d kill again.
He gets bloody 25 yrs thats absolutely disgusting.In other words these victims families get treated like crap.No proper justice
This classically demonstrates how vital it is to provide our children with boundaries and I still in them respect for all things. Most importantly though they need to know they are loved. So sad to think so many people suffered at the hands of this monster 🥺💔
It just makes me wonder in all these stories how many lives coulda been saved if the police did their job correctly
Or people didn't get into cars with strangers.
Friend of mines father was hitch hiking in Surrey, BC & Clifford Olsen pulled over to pick him up. Said he got such a creepy vibe from him he refused to get into the car & ran away, told us that was the last time he hitch hiked. Didn't realize who it was until he got caught.
Dang... that's scary
Head trippy ehh?😬smh
Glad ur friends dad wasn't hurt or killed
Clifford Olsen. I was living in BC when these crimes were being connected. He boasted that he had child victims from BC to NL and he did. And throughout the United States. And I believe that.
This is the most thoroughly researched information ever on that beast. I applaud you.
Our sources for news at the time were the Vancouver Sun and various local TV stations. Their pieces were horrifying but never close to revealing so much of his sordid criminal history.
I always felt that if the police had followed leads they would have found out more on their own.
How he was given such slack sentences and so much opportunity to feed his hunger again and again is beyond comprehension.
I also fault the justice system here.
The topper was giving that monster 100 grand for his little wifey and bastard monster makes me angry to this day.
It's not just the environment that makes a sicko. You can't only blame his uncle. It was genetic. His criminal brain took advantage of every person and situation he crossed paths with. He was a slick psycho whose sick desires made him have to be an expert at conning people and catching innocent children on his line.
I wonder what his offspring are doing now and if they have a criminal history too. Or if he has grandchildren that show psychopathy. His flawed genes are still out there. Beware the cunning with their flowery talk.
So many victims. Many whose stories will never be told. And families, friends an communities that will never forget.
As always, a brilliant, comprehensive and compassionate work of researching, writing and production. This is Monster is the industry Standard of polished audio documentary story-telling. I tell everyone who uses youtube or podcasts to check this guy out. Fella, you are just a pro. Respect.
You are my favorite story teller! Bar none. Truly gifted. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Ditto 😉
If someone tries to only listen to one of your podcasts.. they are going to fail. Miserably :) this is Jeff from Austin. Keep going with the brilliance!
I thought I had a tough stomach when it comes to true crime but this one was rough. What a true monster. Those poor souls. Everyone who ever met his gaze met a lesser fate for having known him. May all his victims know peace.
Me too… but even I had to pause a moment… so much suffering and incompetence… a true monster 👹!!….
Exactly how I feel its horror
I remember growing up in Canada during his murderous rampages and my parents (even though they had their issues) were extremely over protective since we lived in Ontario. Ironically, my father applied to be a CO at Collins Bay Pen in Kingston Ontario (where Olson was jailed) and almost made it through the process until they did a psych eval on him and asked him "if you guarded Olson, what would you do or not do if you could"....unfortunately for my father and the citizens of Canada he answered it honestly...his answer was "I'd take him into the middle of an opening in the woods, nail him by his penis and balls to a tree stump, and shoot him just above the pubic bone and watch the coyotes and bears eat him alive"! Naturally he didn't get the job and went back to John Deere as a welder (his lifelong profession, besides serving in the Signal Corps of the Canadian Armed Forces).
My Dad told me that's how they took care of 'CHIMOS' in the old days. Bears would get them before rcmp found what was left, if ever.
This is the most horrific serial killer ever and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of him until today.
His story always hits me hard! My gfs sisters was one of his victims. To this day she still breaks down once in awhile with the memory. Horrible horrible man!!!!
the fate of stupid kids is pretty much sealed.
My heartbreaks for her. I'm so sorry that this POS touched her life. I hope she finds peace in this world.
Sorry to hear ... that's a little too close to home
I’m so sorry. My deepest condolences
He was a 'monster'.....
I am Canadian and although I'm usually very proud of my country, I am absolutely shocked and ashamed at how the police handled these cases. They effectively allowed him to continue his killing spree by claiming the victims were runaways!
It was awful to hear it was the nail in the head of his victim, (Raymond?) that caused police to step up their duties.
I felt sickened hearing that, along with his other needless cruelties.
Then 24hr surveillance took place, which should have taken place prior to all of this monster's murders.
What a cold hearted thing he was. Yet he was married and had a child that he seemed to connect with somewhat normally.
I wonder what happened to them, along with the other children he fathered.
I hope they don't know he was their biological father, what a burden to live with.
So ask if they handled it so rotten who was fired????? Where was the oversight? Corruption at its finest
@@VG-rj8pn LOL
Your country literally lets people get away with murder time and time again. Not to mention the indigenous cases that are ignored. I would be ashamed to be from Canada 🍁 where crime is concerned. Beautiful country and nice people but the RCMP is incompetent at times. It takes way too long to get arrests and when arrested they are treated too well.
Happens in the US more than people think
My family and I were just talking about this. I lived through that summer here. I had a niece and nephew who lived here and a nephew and niece who spent the summer on the coast from a small city up north. All in his preferred age range, all in or close to his preferred hunting grounds. One of his victims lived in the same apartment building as the ones who lived here. It was a tense time.
I always appreciate your work and all the energy put into this. I've had to stop this particular video five times just because of the overwhelming evil of this creepy, creepy jerk. The cruel and callous way that he dealt with his victims is possibly some of the worst I've ever seen. An absolute soulless narcissistic sadist.
Wow the police are definitely partially to blame for him getting away with this for so long. He is the true definition of a monster!
No
The RCMP are a useless bunch and they haven't changed much since than .
Pickton killed 50 ppl in the same area and RCMP screed that up too .
I remember he's killing spree when I was I was a kid .my friends little brother had a guy try to get him in a van at that time in my neighborhood .it was freaky .
Our Canadian cops are just as stupid today as they were in the 70s/80s
@@fadetoblond No
Partially?
NEVER heard of this monster before,and what a monster/demon he was.....RIP to all of those beautiful angels🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
you're 'beautiful angels' are destroying this world, consuming all of the natural resources and life giving habitats. but keep having kids you angels.
Wow. Seeing the title I figured this would be a monster operating in the Kootenays or along the coast; I grew up in Vancouver and never heard of this guy. What a horrific time for everyone.
Well told as always - you're very good at putting these together. Many thanks. ❤️🍍
Never heard of him before! Your work is exceptional as always.
I've never heard of this monster, I don't know why it's never been covered anywhere else, so thanks for uploading and doing the video, his was definitely one of the worst cases I've ever heard!
Great job, T. I. M.
Mainstream media tends to gloss these crimes over so as not to cast law enforcement/justice system in a bad light.
yeah...it was definitely a well done video.
I live in Vancouver and believe me, people were terrified......
MASSIVE failure on the part of police. People talk about how we’re scaring kids with stranger danger… this guy is the proof that we’re right. Never EVER get in a car with a stranger. Doesn’t matter how old you are.
Some may find this wrong ( mother n law) but really all you have to do is let your child watch some of these stories. They can learn fast there are monsters out there..then openly discuss fears and come up with a family plan..like a house fire exit plan. A drill at school plan. It's helps elevate fear and promotes awareness of your surroundings..
Police are there to ensure revenues to government...
@@shawnacothran5465 When I was growing up there were cartoons that would show kidnappings, they were terrifying but I can safely say I haven't been kidnapped. They did a good job of teaching "stranger danger."
@@Katragine you know not to deflect from " stranger danger" but I believe that most danger poised to children are from people that know and trust. That's is scarier than strangers lurking..
We used to that alot when we were young in the 80's as I was in very rural and remote area. 9 times on 10 it was someone we, me or my friends knew. I won't do it now and discourage anyone from doing that. We were lucky nothing wrong ever happened to any of us. One time I hitch a ride and I was afraid and become suspicious because the guy didn't stopped were he was supposed to. I run of at traffic stop. I was 13 years olds.
Jiles I hope you find some peace and do loving things for yourself after covering all these depraved stories. (You’re amazing by the way) As a viewers and someone who volunteers with homicide victim survivors I know I have to. I appreciate all the work and background research you put into these! ✨✨❤️✨
The shot of the guy counting a stack of hundreds had me laughing for days. I love the inserted references. They are genius!
You just get better and better with your coverage. This is absolutely one of the top channels for this type of content.
Great job guys.
Crazy how some people only want to investigate after 48hrs yet we now have a whole show dedicated to investigation within the first 48hrs of a crime, after which the statistics of finding the victim alive reduces substantially. There’s no excuse for laziness in the justice system; lives are literally on the line.
Because missing people are usually viewed as voluntary
I know it was different times but the amount of children willing to take alcohol and pills from a stranger is insane..
My mom was almost a victim of his, she was a young girl rollerblading in her street in Coquitlam when she saw a man in a car slowly following her then she booked it back to her house and he was turning around to come back but she got away. A couple months later she saw his picture on the TV and told her mom (my gma) that, that was the guy who was following her. She got lucky, I wouldn't be here today if she was caught.
In 99% of these cases, the police are infuriatingly awful
The entire justice system over there was responsible for this
That’s because you are looking at it after the fact.
@@jm329 You make no sense
@@carltonbanks5470 There is a saying that may help, hindsight is 20/20.
@@jm329 wtf does hindsight have to do with this guy being let out of jail/prison 200 times?
It's insane the number of times the cops dismissed these disappearances as just being run away kids.
kids will be kids....no worries just keep getting into Free CaNdY vans....🤠
It happens a lot
@Belltown Daisy No
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 Dude you've commented on like every other comment that calls out the fact the police failed these children. Who and what are you trying to defend? The child killing rapist or the police who didn't catch the monster who did it until it was to late?
@@greenbeans995 The police can only work with what they have
this is documentary-quality content, you're really talented man
Absolutely 'terrifying' human! This was the 'best' presented story that I've seen in some time! Very well done!!!
I've noticed the more I listen to these stories the more I see how much a lot of them have in common. Such as as a mother figure that was completely terrible or they were pretty much non existent also these these monsters constantly got in trouble and then nothing would happen over and over again.
Very good mothers of the type who never teach, never grant boundaries, always console the child and the world is wrong, the teacher is wrong, he can do whatever he wants. This mothers normally treat them as their Prince, the man they never had, lonely woman without a husband or absent husband at home so they use the child emotionally as an adult, as if they know how they feel because they're empty. This type of abandonment where the child is form to do whatever he wants is that creates (with abuse) many crimes, not all.
The mothers are neglected or abused by the sperm donor
nah u forget the Over doting helicopter kinda imnapropriete mom
these are why i don’t say my son is my king or man of the house . can really screw these kids up
They always blame the mother
I live here and I remember when Olsen was finally arrested in the 80s. I never knew this much about him at all. Great job 👏🏻
Yeah I lived there and grew up during the end of his reign of terror as well.
Aside from all the surface level information, this video has produced an Excellent profile on this evil person.
24 minutes in and I can’t help but think that there’s 30mins left and this monsters list is already so extensive. He’s a true menace
I just listened to the next Monster in this series and then this one as I have been pacing myself with this season and my heart breaks for the children and their families. In my opinion these Monsters never seem to get enough time in prison for their heinous crimes. May their families and friends find peace. I lost my best friend in middle school due to a severe asthma attack and it effected me greatly I couldn't imagine losing her this way. I named one of my daughters after her.
I grew up where he hunted his victims, thank you for the excellent coverage you gave in this episode.
You did some serious research on this. We appreciate the hard work you do. Another great video 💙

Nice image of the Patullo Bridge and the Fraser River
😎
Seeing real images, whether it be the monsters themselves or anything tied to the cases, really helps transport me into the stories.
Sending thanks from 🇨🇦
On of my friends, whose family home bordered Okalla prison in Burnaby, experienced,first hand, several escape attempts. Olsen was the equivalent of Canada’s Ted Bundy. He destroyed our innocence.
Thank you again. I love when you do canadian stories. This one was rough eh, I can't understand why no one would put two and two together but it is what it is. I swear not all of us Canadians are monsters . ❤
This was one of the best episodes I’ve ever heard. You were so professional talking about a HORROR that few Have heard of. Good. Job.
Your channel is GREAT!
what a horrific monster...i cried twice while just listening to the details of this case; it's just mind boggling how such violence could come to these kids that didn't do one damn thing wrong to encourage it. i'm just relieved that clifford olson jr is no longer of this planet.
I was a kid when this was happening. And I grew up in Vancouver too .... This was huge. Not something that we were used to at the time....I still think of these kids from time to time and hope their families were able to find some peace eventually 😓❤️
Loving all the old school pics of Vancouver landmarks too. The one of Granville St was like a walk down memory lane
Yes, Granville St and the entire area was affected by this ... and being a youngster at the time was petrifying ... and we didn't even know how gruesome it was until after he was caught ... ug.
@@millville true that! I remember my mom crying when she was watching the news and I didn't understand at the time why she was so sad till I had kids of my own. Now I get it 😓

And it took a nail driven into a kids head for the RCMP to do their job. These poor innocent kids, just living life being kids, I won't let my grand babies play out in our un-fenced front yard without an adult there, never let the kids walk to school unless in a group, and drove my eldest granddaughter to school and home everyday, I thank shows like this for putting the fear of phycopaths in me, this is by far the most well researched show, people keep your children close.
WOW...I am new to this channel. Really good!!!
10K property crimes, 1,200 sexual assaults and 50 murders. That has to be some kind of record. He did all this pre-internet and when advanced digital technology to assist LE wasn’t available, so it was a lot easier to move about and commit crimes with more anonymity, or without detection.
You stay dropping videos mr monster. We appreciate the hard work more than you know.
🙌🏼
This was a lot of work for you . There was extensive information needed for this story. Also parents have to tell kids not to talk, get in a car , or take food or drink from strangers. ..PERIOD There are too many pos people that will do the same as this person did... keep your kids safe!
Thanks for your hard work
You have done it again - I'm familiar with this monster, but didn't realize it til the part about hiring kids to clean houses. Thank you for filling in the earlier details!💖💕💀☠️💀🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
I'd like to say you do a great job editing your videos. It's pretty cool to see pictures of places from the actual time periods of the events you talk about.
Also, I just want to mention that it's pretty sickening to realize how incompetent the justice system can be sometimes. It truly is disgusting to know that the ones who are paid and expected to protect you are practically doing nothing when so many children are going missing, and even after some of them are found to have been raped and murdered. And a 25 year sentence WITH the possibility of parole is sickening. I know we're not the only country to have these fucked up sentencing laws, and there are some with even more lenient laws, but I truly believe that some people should be locked up for good. Nothing will change them and no amount of good behavior should allow us to take that chance.
I live in Alberta, Canada.
This monster was, is notorious for what he’s done.
I’ve always thought that Canada had far too lenient sentencing laws.
But, just because he would of been *eligible for parole after 25 years, does not mean he, or others like him, would ever, ever be allowed free again. It just wouldn’t happen.
But I completely hear what you’re saying.
Aust laws are worse,murder only gets you locked up for 7-10 years out in less on parole. Its sickening how lenient our laws are.
This man is a pos, but the way he kept going in and out of prison makes it worse. Career criminals are what's wrong. When someone is always in trouble it's not going to stop.
What's wrong is the prison systems and the probation system. These "repeat offenders" have such bad records they shouldn't be released after 30 years, let alone 3
Another masterpiece. Unknown to me
Thank you!
In 1980-81, living in Metro-Vancouver (Surrey) I remember like it was yesterday my parents telling me to never go into a park at the end of the street alone, because there was a man in there that might want to harm me (there was a young boy's body found in the park). It was my first experience being told about evil people. At 5 years old I couldn't fathom why a man would want to hurt me, but I knew to never go into that park alone.
But with my 4 year old brother?? Allll good. Those were the days; you just weren't allowed to venture alone. We were left with so much more autonomy than today's kids. The name "Clifford Olson" is forever etched into my brain as fear, evil, unhumaine actions. I never knew until watching this Monsters video tonight (10-Sept-2022) exactly just how terribly selfish, sadistic and evil he was.
This ordeal was sickening and disturbing at the time and is even more so recounting the story. Great storytelling, as always, but this guy was beyond disturbing and it went on and on with the police rewarding him with each new body he came up with. Olson said he had to look after his son, yeah know!!! On the news it was reported Olson was paid the reward for 8 bodies, they decided not to pay him the reward for the last 2 children. It is truly revolting and my stomach churns with each turn this story takes, we all had children out there who did not think this was a real thing, who steals children?
Sick people steal children
Dad spent more time in jail for a Bingo scam than some of these people serve for assaulting people.
Omg!!! SO MANY MONSTERS IN this world... So sad & horrified by these true stories, but am very grateful 4 sharing this w/me... God bless & hava safe & blessed day 🙏❤⚖
Thank you so much for the PSA on Missing Person reporting. HOLD THE COPS TO THE FIRE until they do their MFN jobs!!! 🔥
