it's a shame this lady lives all those years just to die like that.
She probably had slaves or had family that owed slaves she was 70 in 1936 🤷🏽♂️ its messed up how she died but if she did indeed own slaves or had family that owned slaves fuck her🤷🏽♂️
I wasnt surprised when I saw a picture of the criminal.
😢
@@uncleTedK okay bro
@@uncleTedK I know what you mean.
Thank you Lamont for giving voice to the forgotten victims of such vile crimes. It sickens me that you hear more about the criminals in these crimes than you do the victim. The perpetrator has a voice to defend themselves but no one gives thought to the fact that the victim is silenced. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the awesome work and please stay safe. God bless you.
I couldn't have Said it better myself
In America you are innocent until proven guilty
A confession is proof enough of guilt. He confessed 3 times. So he is and was a guilty, murdering, raping scumbag.
@@erikkaelsbury8986 what? It’s the other way around.
@@erikkaelsbury8986 He wasn’t innocent
HEY LAMONT, GLAD YOU COVERED THIS STORY... I AM A LIFELONG RESIDENT HERE IN OWENSBORO KY. AND AM A BIG FAN OF YOURS. YOUR PRESENTATION ALWAYS IS ON PAR WITH THE BEST OF THEM, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN.
I’m in Owensboro too
I was born & raised here & work at Rosehill & Elmwood as well
Dear Lamont, thanks for this one. I'm 82 and I live alone. I fear being attacked so I can identify with that poor lady. However, I can also feel sympathy for this flawed man. May they both rest in peace...........
Hi Donna i just wanted to say hello I'm younger than you i am newly retired but live alone but my dog's are my best friend and are great protector maby a dog would help you feel safer
You should buy a gun if youre comfortable with it
Sawed off shotgun with 00 buckshot. Shoots right thru a wall spraying pellets in a wide pattern. Point and shoot. No aiming required.
Maam I do not feel any sympathy for him, he raped and murdered a woman who was a mother and grandma. I remember back in the 80s when someone broke into my grandmas house, after he seen her he ran out of the door he broke. I am glad and was relieved he decided to leave instead of hurting or murdering my grandma.
No sympathy for this waste of good human air,I hope he’s getting assaulted in hell right now
Public executions should be brought back for these crimes, especially with the garbage we have happening in our country now!
“Public executions should be brought back” the US is looked upon as a backward nation as it is, and that would just confirm it! It would be better to understand why there is so much crime in the US and why it has the worst inequality in the developed world!
All the politicians claim to want "transparency". It should include capital punishment and would surely deter some would be criminals.
Would you want your kids to see that?🤔
I agree. Bring them back for 100% guilty. Like Nicolas Cruz, Darrell Brooks, Ethan Crumbley etc....
The crimes that's going on now is the same crimes that's been happening since the pilgrims arrived.
Your vast knowledge of all these souls who no longer walk amonst and how that came to be, just shows how much care and research you dedicate for people like myself, to watch and learn something new.
If he didn't you wouldn't watch
@P¡nned By Lamont At Large•• scammer
All you have to do is Google....
@@michaelvoorhees5978 How can Google give that much info and detail about a crime 85yrs ago? When he even says very little info is available then how does he seem to know? Questionable.
@@udontnome cause Google is based on stuff that's on file since then and beyond computers Ana lies that ur a dummy
Lamont you're a great storyteller it really is a shame that elderly lady died just resting in her home this young man got what he deserved great video Lamont RIP Ms. Edwards🙏
This is a horrible, tragic story. I'm sorry that happened to that elderly lady. Smh
Don't smack your head to hard
😔😔😔
We need these back instead of coddling vicious criminals
Hell yeah.
Even ppv, like ufc
@@CallMeBossLady you got that ✅ right
Amen TO THAT DARL'N!!
Absolutely, and not wait 30 years to do it.
Thank you Lamont At Large for taking the time to remember loved ones lost, and for enlightening us all to the full tragic stories ❤😊
Nice job Lamont. Giving a voice to those who have none and long forgotten
For crimes against children..for crimes against the elderly..for crimes against animals:
I would have NO problem pulling a lever. None.
@P¡nned By Lamont At Large•• Namaste, Lamont.
Especially if he’s an innocent man!!!!! This was a public lynching!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
The sheriff knew he didn’t do it n that’s y she wanted nothing to do wth it!!!! The executioner didn’t pull the lever bcuz he knew the accused didn’t do it either!!! This poor man was lynched for something he didn’t do!!!! Evil!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡
So sorry for this innocent woman. 😞 Another life snuffed out by a piece of trash. Does it ever end? No. It has been going on since the beginning of time and will keep happening till the Lord,s return. Thanks Lamont for sharing this forgotten sad story. God Bless. Stay safe Lamont!
The house was probably in the vacant lot next to 314. Back then, most houses were cookie cutter layouts. They also tend to knock crime scenes down. Great story Lamont. You are an excellent reporter!
God bless you, Lamont. If it wasn’t for you researching and telling these stories, these victims would be unknown to the world. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Well said Lamonte especially at the end when you speak up for poor Liesha God rest her 🙏 the victims are often forgotten while the perpetrators are lionised and defended, safe brother
You're right, Lamont. That could have happened to anyone's mother. TBT
Lamont should do the story of Lena Baker. Who was who was wrongfully convicted of capital murder and was executed in Georgia.
Good morning, well said Lamont and this is why I enjoy every video you work so hard to show us and what went on the story. You saying it with truth / honesty and respect. Thank you and stay safe 💕👏🏼
Thank you for speaking more about Lishia ❤️ Rest In Peace 🕊
I like your title Lamont at Large it speaks volumes. The name alone let's me know you are going deep. The things you acknowledges have enlightened me about things around this world. It let's me know you have studied, investigated and thought throughly about. Thanks.
Hey Lamont, I'm from a small town in North Carolina and there's a lot of people with the last name Bethea. Growing up, I always heard it pronounced as Bethea (Beh-thay). But anyway, Rainey had more than enough chances to turn his life around. It's unfortunate that lost both of his parents so young but after his last arrest he should have sobered up. He took the life of an innocent elderly woman in such a cruel way.
My maiden name is Bethea, my grandpa Robert Bethea is from Robeson County NC, growing in WA State, we were pretty much the only family with that last name! Weird to see it on anybody else.
That is my mother maiden name. My grandfather was from Orangeburg so I sent the video to the family historian. She does awesome research.
@@zurihopkins2391 I'm from Hoke County, NC; we're not that far from Robeson County. Only about 15 minutes away.
Well I just found out there no connection between my grandfather and this man. This is a sad story really.
@@zurihopkins2391You're related that scumbag murderer?
Love me some Lamont at Large, always informative and always entertaining! You help us remember...
Exacutions were so much faster back in the day, they didn’t mess around.
Thank you Lamont at Large for doing what you do. I enjoy watching your episodes and I look for them daily. Be safe and carefull in this dangerous world.
Don't message the Lamont at large that replied to your comment, unless the real Lamont says it's actually him and just started a new channel(which I highly doubt because why make a new channel with the same name? Just doesn't make any sense) that person is probably a scammer, I'm going to wait for Lamont to reply to let us know if it's really him before reporting that channel using his name
@@709stef yeah, someone commented that @pinnedbylamontatlarge is a scammer (I think that's what they were saying). I looked and it had no subscribers
@@709stef It was you, I went back and looked. Looks like a Def scam
@@jennifermeegan148 oh definitely a scammer, he deleted all of his replies after I called him out, basically he was replying to everyone who commented on the video with "thanks for watching endeavours to message me on whatsapp" along with his number. If someone would have sent him a message he'd then ask for donations. I just can't stand scammers taking advantage of vulnerable people.
Thank you Lamont for telling Ms Edwards sad story. May she Rest In Peace 💜
God bless you, Lamont. You do a great job of describing the events!!
Wow. Thank you for this story. You give us so much historical information that we would have never known about.
Well presented my man. And well researched! Always interesting and your commentary is natural and captivating.There are so many stories untold in the public forum, you are doing these victims a great service. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Lamont! Another good job. Thanks for all of your work to bring us quality historical videos.
Safe travels.
This story is so convoluted. The guy clearly wanted to die and it was such a big circus. Sometimes nobody makes the Monster, it makes itself. The old lady was entitled to her last years and her dignity. You didn’t sugar coat it and it really speaks to survivor’s.
Thank you for being a passionate voice for those who can no longer speak for themselves. ❤️🙏
Thanks Lamont, for bringing all these stories to lite for us. Keep doing what you do. God's graces s be with you on your travels.
Excellent video, Lamont. I had heard of this case and the execution, but did not know the details. You educated me.
I enjoy your stories, you have that story telling voice. Keep doing what you do and thanks for all the history you convey to us all.
Thank you for bringing awareness to these age old crimes. And remembering the victims.
Lamont it’s great that you give the forgotten a voice, it’s like you tell their story, thank you and god bless
Excellent video as always. I love that you do not mince words. Thank you for that, thank you for showing both sides of the story.
Once again, I like how you break these stories down. Great job, sir.
Love your channel Lamont. That poor elderly woman and her family.
Thank you for this Lamont💜🇦🇺. Always ground, meditate, cleanse your mind etc,,and regrouping is very important after these episodes, I'm sure you have already got ways and you do this.. I appreciate ALL you do!✨✨✨
God bless you and what you do! Your a great story teller and enjoy your voice. Take care out there!
Sad, very sad, but well done and said Lamont. You bring the stories with true meaning and heartfelt feelings. God Bless all of whom have fallen to the sick and deranged. Stay happy and healthy Lamont, god bless.
Thank you for sharing this. I will never forget this
I love your videos and like the message that you give at the end of some of the videos. I always pray for you to live a happy and to always be safe out there.
Another great upload! Thank you
Another excellent presentation told with humility and care,
A brutal crime like this committed against anyone is terrible 😢 but against an elderly lady is HORRIFIC no matter the color of the victim or villain the punishment fits the crime.
Found your channel recently and been binge watching your videos, I do watch other true crime RUclipsrs but I really like that you actually take the time to visit the places while telling the stories. I've also watched the video where you've talked about some ppl saying things like "you must enjoy the RUclips money " or something like that and all I can say is you're damn right, I wish you'd get paid even more, you spend time doing the research, drive far away to get to those places and lastly but most importantly it's not free to travel all around the US to show all of us those places, places that most of us wouldn't be able to see otherwise. Those ppl just don't think about how much money you're spending (especially with the price of gas) before making such comments and they're what I would call trolls or simply ignorant people. I gotta admit I wish I could join you on your trips, I'd love to travel all around the US and keep you company 😆
My father was born in Owensboro in the early 1930's. His family (my grandparents) lived there until the early 1940's. My grandfather took my father to see this execution. My father barely remembered it, but he did recall it was like a festival/picnic environment. People actually packed picnic baskets and made a spectacle of the entire process
Stop lying nobody believes your story
😮😮😮
Sick!
@@stoogman Not for the time period. This was during Jim Crow and Ky is a Southern state. Happened multiple times for decades. Look what happens now when an execution is announced. Witnesses are behind a window and people gather outside either in support or protest
Packing picnic baskets for executions!! 🤔
Excellent stories. Thank you.
Hey Lamont!....Thank you for your videos 😁. Such a sad story. 😔
It's always baffled me how they determine that a rape actually happened AFTER the victim was murdered & not before.
I would venture to say the gallows were erected exactly where that statue of a head is. Towns have a sneaky way of camouflaging the spots of their darker history while still marking the spot.
Never heard of this case before. Thank You Lamont for covering these older cases that don't get any attention. Especially the Jane & John Doe cases.
You are so wonderful, to give all these people a voice again and let there story be told. Thank you for all your hard work. It must not be easy at all, to do what you do. All that driving, all the money spent on gas ( especially now ) etc. That takes dedication and a true love for just PEOPLE and making sure people know, I WAS HERE AND THIS IS IS WHAT HAPPENED To Me! God bless you
I hope that he makes a good living because this is hard work .
Great job,you take us along with you for a very interesting informative journey, thanks 👍
Another fine video Lamont!, i cannot wait for the next video.
greetings from the Nederlands
Thanks Lamont for telling all these stories of history
Thank you for sharing this.
Lamont, you need your own TV show doing this...I can't believe the major networks and producers haven't approached you to do a show. This would be an awesome weekly television show that you could do two stories per show....Damn Hollywood, what the hell yall waiting for...with all of the awful crappy shows the networks have on television, this would be great.
It's not your business! Respect his privacy.
People don't watch TV like that anymore
TV would demand he change his style to something loud, dumb and obnoxious. No thanks.
As usual you have done a great job.
Don't matter the color of your skin, you do the crime you do the time!
Period.
Hi Lamont, he payed for his crime, brilliant story Lamont, you tell it so well. Thank you xxx
How do you know he did it? They had no problem lynching Blacks whether innocent or guilty. It's America.
Thanks for the video like always Lamont.
Hi! O what a tragic story all around. My heart goes out to people who grow up with no love, no family, no one to give direction.
Mathea still could have made a different choice. And as you say, no one has the right to savage and murder a sweet old lady.
But I sure don't understand public, carnival-like executions.
And I don't think I ever will.
Thank you Lamont, for all your research and passion to tell the story of the common man. You are a great historian. I have learned so many things that have sent me to dig deeper into my own heart, and into society's as well.
$25 in 1935 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $540.65 today, $100 in 1935 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2,162.60 today.
Watching from Belfast, Northern Ireland ♥️
What's up Belfast greetings from the 🇺🇸 God bless
Of course another well put together, informative Vlog that takes you to the actual locations which is really awesome cause you get to know every minute detail about every case. I hope you get to continue doing this for many, many decades to come cause ill still be a subscriber. Be safe and take care Lamont, see you on the next Vlog.
You have a great gift for telling stories and it makes it even better that you go on scene,but most of all you’re not bias.You tell it like it is no matter what the race in these stories are and that’s what makes me continue to come back for more.
By the way I found you yesterday and I can’t even remember how many videos I’ve watched so far because I’m addicted.Keep up the great work brother 🤘🏼
Awesome job Lamont! Your attention to detail is making you better & better. FYI-1936 is also the date that my favorite US field & track Olympic champion Jesse Owens represented us in Germany & taught Hitler new lessons in racial respect! Get some lemonade & a rest Lamont. It's hot out there!
He destroyed Hitler's idea of the so called "perfect race"
Sad, you always doing such an amazing job by telling us each person's life story, rest in peace
Thank you Lamont for bringing attention to this tragic old case!
Thank you for having your channel.
This was a great story to tell. Thanks Lamont
Hi Lamont great Podcast as always, Thank you for hard work n Consistency,, Safe Travels always ❤️
I absolutely love the videos u do. So interesting.when you do your stories do u travel to get area just for the tory or do u find a story when your where ever u r visiting?
Great video. You have a great narrators voice. I wish you continued success.
Mrs H 🇬🇧 .... Thank you Lamont... I've watched a few videos from your channel.. I'm a recent subscriber ... Your my kinda dude ..Blunt and straight to the point.... Thank you for speaking up for all victims.. This case is similar to a case near me about 28 yrs ago..Sadly I knew the guy responsible
( Middlesbrough Northeast UK ) cases like this are traumatizing to so many ... RIP Miss Edwards ..Lamont has made your story well known world wide so your GBNF ..( Gone But Not Forgotten )...💔
You do a beautiful job telling us the storys thank you
Enjoyed you covering this story . Really like your channel . I go to cemetery all the time . I find them very peaceful away from the busy world we live in. Bev from uk .
You have been busy!! Interesting story!! Great job!
I can’t get over your eyes.
Happy Friday sweetheart love you’re videos
Great video Lamont. Thank you.
It’s awesome to get all the info you reshape! Thanks homie 🙌
I love your videos. This story was really interesting. Thank you 😊
Lamont is the G.O.A.T story teller. Certified legend.
Lamont you tell it like it is an you have a way with words.... I really enjoy your shows although sad and true I cannot walk away til its over..... you the man!!!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Interesting story. God bless ❤ Lamount.
Thank you so much for taking us on your cemetery walks, Lamont. You're such a kind and thought soul which we need more of. There's a newish channel called "Murder She Shed" where Holly finds some really obscure cases to present. She could use some subscribers so pop over and check her out, I like to think she's a real piece of Americana just like Lamont is uniquely a one of a kind National Treasure. Much Love ya'll. ❤
Lamont thank you for all you do.
You are a great storyteller. Thank you Lamont. Love your videos.
he has a really nice voice that captures the audience
Excellent Video. Thanks for sharing.
Lamont I don’t know if you have ever done anything on Dianne Masters who was killed by her husband and police officers that helped him hide her body. Dianne was my sister-in-law who lived in Palos Park Illinois and was killed in March 1982. You do a excellent job and show such respect for the victims I have found all your stories very interesting. Always following you and really learning so much about these people you have brought to us. Thank you.🙋♀️
Do you have proof of these allegations?
Thanks Lamont for another great video. And, for speaking out for the victim.
Great story, and ive hurd of it before, im from stanton Kentucky. I love watching your content, you do an awesome job at what you do with these stories... thank you !
Fantastic story, good job Lamont! 🤗🤗🤗
Hey Lamont. Love your videos! Come to Greenville, NC when you get the chance and do a blog about the kidnapping of Ginger Hayes and her baby, as well as the murder of Mrs. Hayes
Hey Lamont it’s Gary here from UK I just want to say you do a great job buddy I always listen to your interesting videos bro !!! Keep up the great work bro I’m listening !!!
Lamont you did a great job telling this story, you gave Lishia Edwards remembrance, by telling this story of how she died and where she’s laid to rest she will be remembered and not forgotten.💕🫶🏻
It is a shame that in so many crime cases the victims aren’t mentioned but the killer is constantly. The victims need to be remembered more.
Rest in eternal peace Ms. Lishia Edwards🕊💐
You stay safe out there on your journeys Lamont.🙂💟
Thanks, Lamont for all your trouble, you go there and you show us the place where it happened, you show us the physical place where these people are buried. You honor them. It's great, what you're doing. The man was lucky that he was given the chance to die a catholic, and receive valid Sacraments by a priest. Most people today don't even have that chance anymore.
Good job, very insightful
