My abusive mother killed 3 of her sons before the age of 2 and the first 2 were labeled as "SIDS" and the 3rd was labeled as medical neglect on her part. She forbid any of us other children (8) from speaking to anyone, including CPS. We knew what was waiting for us if we spoke up. She would change states and husbands every 2 years, cleaning them out as she went. Marrying one before divorcing the last. She'd always claim she had a "huge settlement" coming and would have them buy boats, houses, and expensive cars having them put her name on things otherwise she wouldn't "share" her settlement money when it came. She did this for decades. She died alone in January of this year and was found a month later. No one did anything except cremated her and her final husband picked up her ashes. People who do stuff like this don't deserve to live let alone have any dignity in death either. My sisters and I provided headstones for our brothers 30 years later once we finally found out where they were buried after she died.
Amazing story. I hung on every word of this comment. Just Wow!!! And those are the things “you actually know” I’m sure there’s more your “birthMom” kept hidden. Be the best YOU you can be and best Family Member to the kids that look up to you.
@@micdropfroggyface6466One if the biggest creators on here does the same thing. So do many others. I’m not going to disrespect them and ruin their content for their listeners by going on their channel to say that. I’m just not going to listen to them often or at all. Also, regarding your example of the orange car, I think the victim easily could have said that to friends or family as a joke or aside before her unfortunate demise. I don’t even know why you’re here if it bothers you so much that you have to try to ruin his narratives for others. You give me Judge Judy’s, “You ate the steak” vibes. Thanks for sharing the negativity. I’m sure exactly no one here appreciates it!
@@micdropfroggyface6466 of course that’s what you get. You’re a negative person all over these channels. It’s what you are. Could care less what you think!
Omg the “Leskil” ad gave me a much needed laugh during this sad story. Well done! I’ve suffered many losses over the past decade and your sarcasm and sense of humor towards the monsters in your videos always makes me smile. You’re an amazing story teller.
The father is weird to me in this case… You abandoned your children with no child support, and suspect that one died suspiciously- why not attempt to take custody of the rest after that? Those children were so unprotected, RIP
Because you can’t win in family court. Stop holding men responsible for women’s decisions. It’s not his responsibility to fix a corrupt one sided system. Also, not contributing to a corrupt society is heroic. You aren’t entitled to men’s sacrifices or labor. Keep being salty when men escape the veal fattening pen. Fewer and fewer of us participate every day. & god bless the men you call deadbeats - they are fighting the good fight by hanging it up 🍻
The word "dead beat" is too good for him. Not stepping up or sharing his suspicions makes that prick an accomplice. He has an equal share of responsibility to keep these children safe. Don't let men off the hook so easily.
Same here!!!! Jiles does an amazing job on all his videos, but this one with the length and in depth details to describe full story I thought was really diligent of him. This is one of my favorite channels
“Sleep, my child, forever” was what initially got me interested in the case of Ellen Boehm. I hope her daughter and those who knew her have found some healing and peace.
Fellow humans, if a person is already in a committed relationship when you start seeing them, it’s going to end up one of two ways: they either aren’t going to leave their partner for you and you’re a side piece OR they’re going to leave you eventually for another woman like they did originally to date you.
@@tessaducek5601 oof i’ve been there, yes it’s definitely the “horrible cheaters attract horrible cheaters” rule in life, i only learned this as an adult, wish i knew it when i was younger
The Leskill commercial had me on the floor lmfaoooo.Can’t taste the color purple??? Ohh that’s just to much for me to handle. I did love it.. make more!!! Plzzzz😂
I still hope its not true. If he cried he -saddly- had another reason. Maybe she let him there to show him where he is goinng. Nobody talks abt real motive, resentmen towords her ex! He took her youth, attractivness, she had to be wanted as we saw, she felt better when he left wife for her, how she felt when she was left...pregnant. Thats why David was 1st.
I like how Paul & Terri were soooo interested in finding out how his son died and were immediately taking action & making all types of calls in an effort to prove their hunch that his ex was the culprit. Maybe there'd be no deaths to question if they were anywhere near as interested in making sure his kids had food in their bellies!!! And that is not to defend this beast of a woman in any way at all. So tired of all these bio parents who literally abandon their kids, but then wanna act all concerned & heartbroken when those kids are killed or abused. Making public pleas, doing interviews, making GoFundMe accounts, etc. It's so sick!
The mothers of not breathing babies not typically known as being the strong silent type quote was perfect. I'm a Social Worker and can absolutely handle crisis situations calmly and logically. When my second son was 3 weeks old, he had a severe case of RSV and stopped breathing multiple times. I was pretty much hysterical in the ER and was losing it when they wheeled him out to the Flight for Life helicopter to take him to Children's Hospital. And I begged the Doctor to be allowed to go with him in the helicopter when they told me I couldn't. A nurse in the ER who was a friend of mine said the good thing was he would have no memory of any of it, but I'd remember that night every day for the rest of my life. He graduated high school last week, and yep, she wasn't wrong. Still makes me weak when I think about what he went through. This woman is disgusting.
I’m so happy your son made it, I also experienced the same type of hysteria when my toddlers arm was dislocated while she was swinging up the kerb holding our arms. She wasn’t even crying but her arm was limp. We were absolutely hysterical and crying and she was so calm wondering why we were crying.
Not the exact same of course, but I understand what you mean about the hysteria. Of course your case was way worse than a dislocated arm, but seeing your kids hurt wakes up a primal fear in most mothers. It’s terrifying. Whenever I see a child go missing my heart drops and I just can’t imagine how they can even get through it. I’d probably die of a heart attack
I can’t stand how people like you can’t just watch a damn video without relating it to some elaborate story about themselves and their own brats.. literally no one else gives a fk.. keep it to yourself!!!
It's sad and pathetic that you're so weak willed that a story, of which you have nothing to do with, causes you anxiety to the point where a narrators voice calms you down...holy hell your generation sucks...
Thank goodness Deann was able to raise the alarm before she hurt her daughter.. poor girl will have to live with her mom attempting to murder her and the loss of her two brothers for the rest of her life. Rest in peace to the Bohem boys❤
I've lived in Brighton, Illinois my whole life. My mother was the real estate agent for Robert and Paula Sims, selling their Brighton home after Lorelei was murdered and selling them their new home in Alton, Illinois which is about 10 miles from Brighton. Obviously this was a HUGE story in the news at the time, so when Robert and Paula came into the small real estate office Mom worked in she recognized them immediately. Robert was very menacing, and Paula walked about 6 feet behind him at all times, never raising her head or speaking. Of course Mom had many conversations with the both of them throughout the whole process with paperwork and other things, but each time Robert was the only one that spoke for them and Paula NEVER raised her head to look at anyone. Mom has been convinced ever since that Paula did not act alone in the murders, and if she did hurt the baby girls it was because Robert didn't want girls, he only wanted boys. They had a boy child at the time that was unharmed throughout the whole ordeal. I can't remember how old the boy was, but he was also quite small at the time. All these years later the scars the tragedy left on a tiny town of barely 2500 people still resonates.
Agreedꨄ. I’ve one criticism that’s increasingly nagging @me: I’m a bit disappointed and frankly turned off by the last “If you’re a member of the 𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗+/- community...” To clarify, we’re talking about someone’s sexual preferences. Since when are people being “harassed” or discriminated against over their bedroom choices, and so much that it’s necessitated a special closing statement of outreach with a support hotline?!? Just thought I’d point out the irony in mentioning victims of domestic abuse seeking support or shelter-not *women’s* shelters-seeing as your abuser may now “self-identify as female” and stay at that very shelter you’ve sought refuge.
@@robinmcinarnay7827 My lord, you people really have no shame. The LGBT community is still actively being oppressed today (as evidenced by your very comment), and they deserve to have a safe space.
Dude, i hope you continue to blow up. One of the most underrated crime channels on RUclips. And i mean that with the utmost respect. Impeccable research
As a father of three boys, I can’t imagine any parent harming their own or anyone else’s children! This infinitely sad and tragic story brought tears to my eyes for the two little boys who suffered at the hands of their monstrous mother. RIP baby David and little Steven. 🙏🙏
Agree. Could never imagine hurting my 13&16 boys. I think about my boys when I see stuff like this. Think I love them so much. When I watched Chris watts who killed his wife and two little girls. Describing it. Omg. How? So sad for those beautiful girls.
I have 3 sons myself, too. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep them healthy and safe, so the cases involving parents that hurt (or worse) their kids are especially hard to hear. I just can't understand how someone could willingly ignore what should be an unbreakable parental instinct to protect those that need protection most.
I also have 3 boys and one of them is currently 4..and I just look at him and think, how? How could you possibly want to hurt him?! He's full of life and says the best random stuff and he dances! God I couldn't bare not seeing him or hearing him again, those boys should be grown now having babies of their own it's so so sad.
I have a pretty strong stomach for true crime. Steven’s story of his last meal and visit to his little brother’s grave almost forced me to stop. Goddamn, “monster” doesn’t begin to describe Ellen. Rest in peace, little ones. 😢 Edit: Fixed a homophone.
I had a friend who took kids to babysit in her house and had a baby fall victim to SIDS. She quit watching babies but she was strong and got thru it. You could see in her eyes the lingering pain.
That last bit where they staged a room is genius. She was full of herself and definitely would’ve ate up the fact that a whole team of people was working around the clock on her
All these true crime channels are doing everything with AI now. That's why these real creators are all showing their faces at the beginning of the videos. There's about 2 to 3 each day that pop up on my feed and you can tell it's 100% AI from the script to the voice. Glad we have people still working hard and not becoming AI-infected morons.
STOP SHOWING YOU! WHY YOU CANT DO IT LIKE BEFORE? WHAT IS UP? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A GIRL? BOY? FAME? WHY YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF NOW? PLEASE TELL US! I MEAN IT IS A CRIME CHANNEL AND YOU NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE AND NOW YOU DO IT! WHY? YOU WANT A REACTION? Do you want to be recognized outside now? In the bars and discotheques? That's the only realistic explanation, because otherwise you wouldn't do it at all and just let it run as normal as before. 🤦♂🤦♂👎👎
how awful... i lost my mom going on 6 years ago now, and i still cry every day. I couldn't bear to outlive my son; you have survived, and that takes incredible strength.
My Granny always told us when we asked how people could so callously do horrible things, "Be glad you can't understand. If you could understand it, you could do it, too.".
I relate a lot. Just had to pause & watch my little boy sleep for a few minutes, after the part about Stevens last outing. Pregnancy literally half killed me, but meeting my son gave me life, & he walks this earth with my whole heart inside him. So I can't absorb so much as a shred of HOW ppl like Ellen can get 3 beautiful babies, then do this to them.
I was not blessed enough to have children. That parents kill their greatest gifts is sickening to me. I have decided this will be the last child abuse/murder case I'm going to listen to for a long time.
@@jacquelinea3358 Do not watch David & Louise Turpin case. No one dies, but nevertheless .. I just came from it with a completely broken heart. What some parents can and do to their own children is incomprehensible to me. This is the reason I even started watching the morbid side of RUclips.. to try and "understand" how can they. I never got an answer, but did realize something: We can't understand it. It's impossible. If we could, we'd be the monsters ourselves. And clearly it's only a small percentage of the entire population that is so.
I knew Randy Simms, the son of Paula Simms. She was a monster, but him and his father were sweet and kind. Randy never said a harsh word, and would always smile in class. Despite his tragedy he did his best every day to live as a good person. Him and his father died in a car accident a few years back. It was a horrible tragedy. What is worse is that Paula is walking the streets again since their death. Thank you for bringing her case up, if only for a moment. It keeps Randy and his father's memories alive just a little longer and reminds us all of the monster Paula is.
I shudder to think how many parents got away with murdering their children under the protective guise of SIDS. I love that no matter how horrific the case, you’re able to insert humor that isn’t inappropriate!
Your commentary about these absolutely ridiculous and disgusting monsters you report on is what gets me through the day. You somehow manage to make me laugh even in the darkest videos at the sheer outlandish and ridiculous actions of some of these criminals . Keep it up! Loving the content
Thanks for the midstory break about the "medication" LESKIL. As I listen to true crime stories the one's about children being abused or worse, those are always the most difficult to hear about. The moment of levity is appreciated.
My son was born with a rare syndrome, i spent ten years taking him from pillar to post until we finally got a diagnosis. My heart hurts for him as he will always be in pain and it cant be cured. He's almost 19 now and I'd happily take the pain off him if i could. I will never understand how someone can hurt children. Ever. Why would insurance companies insure small children?
These are the hardest stories. Sweet innocent children, looking up to, loving and relying on these monsters only to be neglected, abused and ultimately killed. Crushing.
I’m typically emotionally indifferent after listening to each episode, but I couldn’t help but feel immense anger towards this woman hearing how much that little boy missed his brother. Thank you for conducting the story with proper structure and thoroughness. Whoever writes the script is phenomenal at organizing chains of events.
Thank you for the years of consistently high quality content Jiles, I'm sure constantly researching horrendous crimes isn't easy on the mind and i hope you're doing well. I appreciate your matter of fact delivery and respect towards the victims as well as the accurate, well presented information. As someone who's been watching since season 1, i'm very happy to see you slowly nearing the big million because you absolutely deserve it
❤ I just want to say, I’ve been watching from the start & the heart you put into each case is incredible, you cover stories that people need to hear & to see the “man behind the voice” is amazing ! Much ❤️ & respect.
Was also here when he was just a podcast. Love every episode. Cant wait to see how big your channel will get. Hopefully it never stops growing but ya get what I'm saying !
One reason I subscribe to this channel is the absolute attention to detail. I have look at the same stories on other channels, and have found them to be lacking. It seems like so many cotent producers go for the 10 minute mark but they leave out so many relevant details. This channel is nearly obsessive about having the complete story. Thank you very much for all the hard work in researching and collating these stories. It is appreciated.
The harm she did is atrocious, AND I am always disappointed and disgusted that more isn't said about the men who casually create and abandon their children with mentally unstable women who may not have been pushed past the point of rational restraint but for the their actions. There are countless stories like this, where the men assume more babies will give sick women purpose and then simply...walk away.
I totally agree. It's a constant theme. From a criminology perspective, it's called double deviance. Essentially, it's due to this societal perception that mothers are caregivers and nurturing and it's "worse" for women to commit these crimes. Yes, fathers very often get a pass in these situations when they abandon their children. Fathers' presence in situations like this could have prevented it from escalating as well as giving children a way out of a dangerous situation.
@@LRhoIt is worse when a mother does it. A mother actually carries the baby and is supposed to physically/chemically bond with the baby. Her prime objective then becomes the desire to keep that child alive. It's beyond reprehensible that she then harm that child. Men are more likely to harm or walk away from their children, a man isn't even 100% sure that the child is his. For a mother to do so totally goes against nature.
I have a 3yr old boy. This case literally made my stomach hurt. I cannot imagine watching my child die and doing nothing and then leaving him alone. I hope that sweet boy is somewhere full of love ❤️
As a St Louisan, I can personally see how much in-depth research you did for this story. Showing pics of the arena and the apt building for which I'm familiar with really hits home.
I’m the mom of only 1 child. A son , who will be 21 years old on Halloween. I love him so much and am so proud of the young man he’s become. His father passed away and there were times while my son was younger that money was tight but he always brought me so much joy , no matter how many bills needed to be payed. The thought of a “ mother” murdering her children for any reason, much less money is appalling and I can’t wrap my mind around it. Animals will give their life for their babies and then we have humans like this sorry woman !!! On a lighter note …. Your ad for Leskil had me howling 😂😂🤣🤣 Thank you for all your hard work! I love this channel so much. I was so heated about this case when the Leskil advertisement came up , I needed it , perfect timing !!!! May these sweet babies rest in peace 🕊️🕊️ Love to all. ♥️
Another superbly researched and delivered case. I had 3 girls under 3 on my own and understand the financial and emotional weight that it can bring, but in all of it the biggest fear was always something happening to one of my babies. Ps loved the ad for Leskil 😂
Father? The a**hole that left his wife and three kids for another woman and didn’t care enough to pay child support?!?! She disgusts me, but so does he. Breaks my heart to hear that these angels were killed, but if the sperm donor cared at all he would have remained in their lives and PAY for their support! I hate no one, but I hate actions or the lack thereof, and in this case it’s the ones of this POS ‘father’ and of course the evil, so-called ‘mother’. RIP little angels Jiles, you’re leaving us? :(
@@ridinwithjakeso true, but that's why the courts are there. Go to court to get custody or at the very least, pay child support. Visit the kids. Ignore the ex, but dote on those kids.
I agree just because he didn't like his Wife which I can understand he should have reached out to other Family Members to take the boys in. He is just as much to blame for their murders. This is such a heartbreaking 💔😢
To be fair here, we are getting one side of the story, 3rd hand it you will. Seeing as she killed her kids, possibly She was the reason for him booking it to another state? We dont know Now I dont gamble but... I would put a buck or 3 on her. Humans are shit, to what degree is the only difference between us all.
You can’t win in family court as a man. Even if the woman is certifiably insane with a meth addiction in many cases. Your post is completely uninformed, emotional and hyperbolic. I support every man that’s willing to move to a non-extradition country to one up the corrupt family court system. They’d rather work on a coffee farm in Venezuela as an illegal migrant taking a major hit to their lifestyle than support an abusive woman with another man’s kids they are forced to pay for. And god bless them. Men need to stop contributing and paying into this predatory society.
I'm only 16 minutes in, but I needed to pause the video to thank you for the amusing but true toddler comments within this horrific story. It helps break up the sadness and utter heartbreak of what these innocent babies went through. After almost 5 years of trying for a baby, I finally got pregnant. She is my world and my EVERYTHING. I am a stay at home Mama and I love every single minute with her. Hearing these stories about these evil and sadistic people and what they do to these innocent babies really tears me up. Your hardest story to sit through was baby Sterling. I was an emotional wreck trying to watch it. I never met that beautiful baby, but he pops into my mind every day since I watched his story. Even though it's so hard for my Mama heart to watch and listen to these stories, I know it's important for their stories to be heard. I just don't understand why these evil monsters (I refuse to call them parents because they definitely are not) can do this to their own children. Thank you for researching these cases and telling these innocent babies stories. Please take care of yourself and emotional well being while researching these cases. Keep up the great work!
Found this channel and well done. Thank you for sharing your insights into these strange stories of humanity at its worst but with respect and dignity. Cannot wait to listen to your line-up. Wishing you all the best in your pursuit of spreading and sharing these cases. 🌺
Awesome deep dive episode, Jiles. With just enough humour sprinkled through to make this horror story a little easier to get down. Keep the killer content comin’, mate
Ellen Boehm is a narcissist full stop. To want material things, financial gains over human life is bad enough but to acquire these things through your own flesh & blood is aboveboard cold. Thank you for sharing this tragic true story with us, I always look so forward to your feeds, the ‘ commercial ad “ was of course “ comicial “ as I presume it was intended to be although I wish it did exist in our screwed up world such is as these days. Well done and I look forward to your next feed Jilles. 🇨🇦
Leskil, the inability to taste the color purple! I am done 💀🤣🤣 You are beyond brilliant! This is why I love This Is Monsters! The great content, cases I had never even heard of (rare), and the little nuggets of sarcasm, sprinkled here and there! Thank you sir! Salute ✌🏾💖
Fantastic episode- I love the detail & length. Thanks for your hard work to deliver us quality content about interesting, yet horrible cases. Also- the "ad" for Leskil was awesome. Love your sense of humor!!
OMG I love your “Leskil” promo, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe, it’s refreshing when folks can add humor to something not meant to be funny, ya know? I appreciate every one of your videos & all the hard work you do to give freaks like me some gory content to watch lol keep on rocking it dude 👍🏼😊
Nobody ever wants to question something serious like this because they’re afraid of being called a “victim blame” or upsetting ppl. But if you have a gut feeling that something isn’t right you need to act on it, especially if you think they’re dangerous or something. It’s hard but there are a lot of dangerous, liars out there.
Jiles, you’re a gift.. you really are.. 😁 I did a double take on Leskil 😝 that was absolutely fantastic.. thank you.. And Thanks for all the hard work these unbelievably difficult topics take to make into media for us.. you do an amazing job with the worst material possible.. it’s appreciated..
What she did was horrendous. An unstable woman with deep insecurities is a dangerous woman. This was more than someone overwhelmed with responsibilities. She was a manipulative liar. So sad for her children. They didn't ask to be born and I am sorry, but their father was pretty awful too, abandoning them to go off with someone else😢..that is a terrible thing to do as well. He could have provided child support at the very least, to take a little financial pressure off. A terrible and tragic outcome. I really hope their daughter gets all the support she needs to come to terms with what happened to her little brothers.
When they were passing the cemetery and the 4 year old boy started crying about missing his little brother just broke my heart and I shed some serious tears. I have 5 siblings and my mom and dad were so protective of us , always made sure we were safe and had everything we needed to succeed in life. I just have a hard time understanding how someone could be so evil. RIP litte ones, you are safe with the lord now✨✨🙏
I cried when the 2 year old was killed. I have a child the same age & i could never harm his sweet little face, i just love my child way to much. Yes motherhood can be hard but the rewards definitely outweigh any difficulties
I know this was during the 80s so maybe there was just a lack of knowledge about this in the medical community. But right off, SIDS is practically impossible at two years old. I'm not sure of the actual statistics but it's less and less common as babies age. I know this "mom" is a monster already 😔
My abusive mother killed 3 of her sons before the age of 2 and the first 2 were labeled as "SIDS" and the 3rd was labeled as medical neglect on her part. She forbid any of us other children (8) from speaking to anyone, including CPS. We knew what was waiting for us if we spoke up. She would change states and husbands every 2 years, cleaning them out as she went. Marrying one before divorcing the last. She'd always claim she had a "huge settlement" coming and would have them buy boats, houses, and expensive cars having them put her name on things otherwise she wouldn't "share" her settlement money when it came. She did this for decades. She died alone in January of this year and was found a month later. No one did anything except cremated her and her final husband picked up her ashes. People who do stuff like this don't deserve to live let alone have any dignity in death either. My sisters and I provided headstones for our brothers 30 years later once we finally found out where they were buried after she died.
You can die of a type of SIDS up to 15yo, there have even been adults labeled as dying from it or a version of it. I know of a lady how lost her 8yo to Sudden child death...it was sad but he just stopped breathing while asleep and died 😢 there was nothing that could have been done sometimes kids just stop breathing in their sleep, I believe if it happens allot it does actually have a name for the condition, my own brother use to do it but grew out of it never had any medical help just a few Dr trips. It was a blessing in disguise tho because the lady I knew with the 8yo had more kids and her 3rd child also stopped breathing in her sleep and because the lady was now very watchful she would check on the kids at night she managed to catch her wee girl and shake her awake and saved her life. She then wore a monitor with an alarm after that for a few years but grew out of it 👍 So even tho she lost her boy her experience saved her daughter and she said it was her boys gift to her. After hearing her story I check my boys every night when I wake up to go to the loo or get a drink 👍 and kept them as babies close to me and it helped because my son at 2 had a bad cough and he also stopped breathing but obviously that isn't sudden it was an actual problem with the airways but still I thank that lady for her story. Hope this story helps with the understanding of SIDS a little. It's every parents worst nightmare 💔 You are right about this woman in the video tho...don't seem like SIDS to me ... Very sad. Just wanted to add that I am from the UK and the midwifes must say different things from country to country so I fully understand if the information is different but equally still scary and sad 😢
@@c_me_now my gosh I'm so sorry your mum was such a monster :( The fact you got your brother's headstones in the end just moved my heart so much ❤ my heart goes out to you sweet x
The commercial break in the middle of this video for "Leskil" literally cracked me up! Unfortunately I was drinking coffee at the time, which spewed everywhere and shot out of my nose.... 🤣 LMFAO It was a nice bit of dark humor directed at these monsters that hurt, maim and kill their own children. Great content Jiles, as always.
Love how long this is. I listen all day at work. Thank you so much for all your hard detective work in the videos and making sure the victims aren't forgotten. I'll see you on the next one! Take care🤜🤛💜
Thank you for covering a St. Louis case, Jiles! Just FYI, the women's prison is pronounced Chilly-coth-ee, one of 2 in the state. The one they send you to if you're in danger of other inmates, I'm glad to hear she's there. If you ever do another STL case, could you please cover the abduction of 9-year-old Angie Houseman? The -- POS left her alive, duct taped to a tree in February, after 9 days of no food or water. Hunters found her just hours after she froze to death. It was next to Lake 32 at Busch Wildlife. They finally found the guy, after finding semen on her Barbie underwear, 2 decades later... Makes me gag.
@@IToastMySocks My mom said when they announced they found her, and how she was frozen to death, my mom teared up went to give me a hug and hold me, but couldn't find me. I was 8 and looked just like Angie, and was playing a game. Ignorant pf the circumstances, I'd hidden under a chair and eventually jumped out to scare her. Needless to say, I frightened her way more than I meant to. Especially as this girl disappeared walking half a block to her house from the school bus, and the neighbor who usually watched the kids get off looked away for literal seconds to tend to her own kid. That's all it took for him to shove her in his van and drive off.
You had me in the first half of that ad. Thought it was going to be real haha. It's nice to hear a lighthearted take after so much pain and suffering. Keep it up!
Your shirt got a laugh out of me. I bought the album "How to Clean Everything" when i was in middle school. I only had it for a few days before my mom found it and read the song list on the back and threw it away.
Somewhere Sinister is fabulous!!! I'm a day one fan! Still wish you would think about doing a few from Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine Always a fabulous job Hope your move goes well ❤
Thanks for this extra long video! It's lovely to listen for a while, press pause, go do some chores then come back and still be in the thick of a really interesting story 👍
First and foremost, I want to say your videos are always such top tier quality, equal to that of JCS. Thank you for your dedication and hard work so that we the viewers can learn about these cases through such high quality. But secondly, the ugly snort laugh I did when I heard, "Do not take Leskil if you are allergic to thr number 6" really sent me. Was not expecting such a good laugh from such a serious video, but it was a nice reprieve from such a heavy topic.
Lezkil commercial is outstanding your attention to detail in the small print and side effects is just incredible. Great comedy for such a heavy subject. Your voice is perfect for narration.
I was hoping you would cover this case. You are by far my most favorite true crime RUclips channel. You were made for this work and you doing this gives the victims and their families a voice and memory never forgotten. I hope you and your brother and families continue to go far in your careers and much success for all that you do. Thank you 😊
15:00. Yes. I know exactly what you mean. The sinking feeling you get when you realize that you are not going to have even that precious hour of alone time after the kids should be asleep. But you don’t kill them. It’s just part of being a parent.
Omg the Leskil part caught me off guard that was hilarious! We need all the funny dealing with this case....Ellen is so infuriating it makes me sick 😫 the poor boys 😢
I found this joke to be misplaced, would have been more relevant in a classic serial killer case. Overall I'd consider it distasteful and just.... weird. The case cover was good tho.
My first click on your channel and lucky me I pick a case right where I’m sitting at. I live by Cardinal Glennon. They saved my kids life. She’s a monster!!!

My abusive mother killed 3 of her sons before the age of 2 and the first 2 were labeled as "SIDS" and the 3rd was labeled as medical neglect on her part. She forbid any of us other children (8) from speaking to anyone, including CPS. We knew what was waiting for us if we spoke up. She would change states and husbands every 2 years, cleaning them out as she went. Marrying one before divorcing the last. She'd always claim she had a "huge settlement" coming and would have them buy boats, houses, and expensive cars having them put her name on things otherwise she wouldn't "share" her settlement money when it came. She did this for decades. She died alone in January of this year and was found a month later. No one did anything except cremated her and her final husband picked up her ashes. People who do stuff like this don't deserve to live let alone have any dignity in death either. My sisters and I provided headstones for our brothers 30 years later once we finally found out where they were buried after she died.
Wow! There's no words, I couldn't imagine😔... that was a nice gesture for your brothers❤
Amazing story. I hung on every word of this comment. Just Wow!!! And those are the things “you actually know” I’m sure there’s more your “birthMom” kept hidden. Be the best YOU you can be and best Family Member to the kids that look up to you.
That's tragic. I wish you and your remaining siblings healing and peace ❤
Holy Crap! I'm so sorry. Wish It'd been different for you :(
Damn. You need to write a book. I'd be interested in hearing your story. Are you ok?
"Motherly instincts of a garbage can." I love it! You do a stellar job creating and presenting these stories. Thank you for the presentation.
That was an insult to garbage cans, haha.
I love a bit of snark 😂
@@micdropfroggyface6466you’re nitpicking and reaching.
@@micdropfroggyface6466One if the biggest creators on here does the same thing. So do many others. I’m not going to disrespect them and ruin their content for their listeners by going on their channel to say that. I’m just not going to listen to them often or at all.
Also, regarding your example of the orange car, I think the victim easily could have said that to friends or family as a joke or aside before her unfortunate demise.
I don’t even know why you’re here if it bothers you so much that you have to try to ruin his narratives for others. You give me Judge Judy’s, “You ate the steak” vibes. Thanks for sharing the negativity. I’m sure exactly no one here appreciates it!
@@micdropfroggyface6466 of course that’s what you get. You’re a negative person all over these channels. It’s what you are. Could care less what you think!
Omg the “Leskil” ad gave me a much needed laugh during this sad story. Well done! I’ve suffered many losses over the past decade and your sarcasm and sense of humor towards the monsters in your videos always makes me smile. You’re an amazing story teller.
I swear I cackled for a few minutes! Reminded me of a 90s mad tv sketch😂😂
Jiles was so convincing with the way he said it that I actually had to google it!! lol 😂🥴🤪🫨
I experienced a much needed belly-laugh myself lol. I really need to review the disclaimer and side effects warning.
I was watching this with huge WTF on my face. 😂😂😂
The father is weird to me in this case… You abandoned your children with no child support, and suspect that one died suspiciously- why not attempt to take custody of the rest after that? Those children were so unprotected, RIP
He's a deadbeat who cared more about where the baby was buried than actually doing anything to help the two (at that point) living children.
Because you can’t win in family court. Stop holding men responsible for women’s decisions. It’s not his responsibility to fix a corrupt one sided system. Also, not contributing to a corrupt society is heroic. You aren’t entitled to men’s sacrifices or labor. Keep being salty when men escape the veal fattening pen. Fewer and fewer of us participate every day. & god bless the men you call deadbeats - they are fighting the good fight by hanging it up 🍻
Once a deadbeat always a deadbeat
@@JT-ev5jh God bless deadbeats. You aren't entitled to men's labor or sacrifices. They are winning the war by not showing up.
The word "dead beat" is too good for him. Not stepping up or sharing his suspicions makes that prick an accomplice. He has an equal share of responsibility to keep these children safe. Don't let men off the hook so easily.
HOLY CRAP almost TWO HOURS? Hell yes! Every creator has to make a few of these eventually and I am all here for it.
So in depth! I actually had to rewind several times because I needed to absorb the details more.
@@beccas.7762likewise,
Same here!!!! Jiles does an amazing job on all his videos, but this one with the length and in depth details to describe full story I thought was really diligent of him. This is one of my favorite channels
It's a treat on This is Monsters though alot of other createors just babble on adding in alot of crap that bores you!!!
@@BboyEklypsepay attention
“Sleep, my child, forever” was what initially got me interested in the case of Ellen Boehm. I hope her daughter and those who knew her have found some healing and peace.
Same! Thank you for reminding me of the name of that book, its been many years since I read it :)
A whole hour & 43!! Am I the only one that jumped for joy?? Thank youuu🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Me too 💃
No but by minute 29 I had already had it with her and couldn't believe there was so much more to go. I need a happy place after this one...
It's like that one dude Cody or something.? With the horrible surprises
I agree. Thank you. Please make more of this length. You are awesome!!!
Don't understand why you would have life insurance on your kid's ffs😢
Fellow humans, if a person is already in a committed relationship when you start seeing them, it’s going to end up one of two ways: they either aren’t going to leave their partner for you and you’re a side piece OR they’re going to leave you eventually for another woman like they did originally to date you.
If he went out on his wife...he will go out on you.
“If they’ll cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you.”
@@tessaducek5601 oof i’ve been there, yes it’s definitely the “horrible cheaters attract horrible cheaters” rule in life, i only learned this as an adult, wish i knew it when i was younger
The case that you mention towards the end of the video, is that the one where it actually turned out to be a rare genetic disorder?
@@smittykinsMy mom always taught me almost exactly these same words. Never served me wrong yet!
The Leskill commercial had me on the floor lmfaoooo.Can’t taste the color purple??? Ohh that’s just to much for me to handle. I did love it.. make more!!! Plzzzz😂
Took me all the way out!!!
The idea of Steven crying over his little brother is actually so heartbreaking
That 😢one hit home. A child 3 to 6 years old is so innocent, unconditional Love 😢. It's disgusting what this evil demon did to those babies
I,just cried😭😭😭😭😭😭.
I still hope its not true. If he cried he -saddly- had another reason. Maybe she let him there to show him where he is goinng. Nobody talks abt real motive, resentmen towords her ex! He took her youth, attractivness, she had to be wanted as we saw, she felt better when he left wife for her, how she felt when she was left...pregnant. Thats why David was 1st.
It didn't happen. She made it up.
It made my heart so sad
I like how Paul & Terri were soooo interested in finding out how his son died and were immediately taking action & making all types of calls in an effort to prove their hunch that his ex was the culprit. Maybe there'd be no deaths to question if they were anywhere near as interested in making sure his kids had food in their bellies!!! And that is not to defend this beast of a woman in any way at all. So tired of all these bio parents who literally abandon their kids, but then wanna act all concerned & heartbroken when those kids are killed or abused. Making public pleas, doing interviews, making GoFundMe accounts, etc. It's so sick!
Evil not sick, use your brain
I think that some of those people set up the Go Fund Me accounts before they even make the funeral arrangements. It IS sick.
Agree. 💯
@@hillarybillary21Try using yours to make a valid comment.
@@user-gj1me4mf5c Hillbilly is a miserable person. Being condescending proves it.
The amount of time and research that you put into this case is very much appreciated. What an absolute POS of a mother she was.
Poor Sarah! Imagine living with that knowledge & loss?!? I hope that she has a lot of support, love & understanding now. ❤
The mothers of not breathing babies not typically known as being the strong silent type quote was perfect. I'm a Social Worker and can absolutely handle crisis situations calmly and logically. When my second son was 3 weeks old, he had a severe case of RSV and stopped breathing multiple times. I was pretty much hysterical in the ER and was losing it when they wheeled him out to the Flight for Life helicopter to take him to Children's Hospital. And I begged the Doctor to be allowed to go with him in the helicopter when they told me I couldn't. A nurse in the ER who was a friend of mine said the good thing was he would have no memory of any of it, but I'd remember that night every day for the rest of my life. He graduated high school last week, and yep, she wasn't wrong. Still makes me weak when I think about what he went through. This woman is disgusting.
I’m so happy your son made it, I also experienced the same type of hysteria when my toddlers arm was dislocated while she was swinging up the kerb holding our arms. She wasn’t even crying but her arm was limp. We were absolutely hysterical and crying and she was so calm wondering why we were crying.
Not the exact same of course, but I understand what you mean about the hysteria.
Of course your case was way worse than a dislocated arm, but seeing your kids hurt wakes up a primal fear in most mothers.
It’s terrifying. Whenever I see a child go missing my heart drops and I just can’t imagine how they can even get through it. I’d probably die of a heart attack
😭
I can’t stand how people like you can’t just watch a damn video without relating it to some elaborate story about themselves and their own brats.. literally no one else gives a fk.. keep it to yourself!!!
omg !!!! i cannot imagine how terrified you were. i was super glad to press the "read more" button and see he is healthy and graduated high school !!!
My daughter passed away in 2009 and losing a child is a pain that never goes away.
I can’t imagine what would possess someone to do this.
I lost my daughter July 1 2021
I'm so so sorry for your loss 😢
I'm so sorry, truly. I lost my 2nd son in 2005. I know your pain. Sending you hugs, peace, and love.
Sincere Condolences 🙏🏾
My condolences 🙏 and you are right ,the pain doesn't go away
You have a great voice. The way you narrate the cases calm me so much, it doest matter how horrible the case is, listening to you is calming.
It's sad and pathetic that you're so weak willed that a story, of which you have nothing to do with, causes you anxiety to the point where a narrators voice calms you down...holy hell your generation sucks...
Yeah he held my focus and lowered the anxiety to be able to stay until the finish.
Great shirts too! Love all the bands!🤘
Agreed.. love his voice n narration style
Thank goodness Deann was able to raise the alarm before she hurt her daughter.. poor girl will have to live with her mom attempting to murder her and the loss of her two brothers for the rest of her life. Rest in peace to the Bohem boys❤
I've lived in Brighton, Illinois my whole life. My mother was the real estate agent for Robert and Paula Sims, selling their Brighton home after Lorelei was murdered and selling them their new home in Alton, Illinois which is about 10 miles from Brighton. Obviously this was a HUGE story in the news at the time, so when Robert and Paula came into the small real estate office Mom worked in she recognized them immediately. Robert was very menacing, and Paula walked about 6 feet behind him at all times, never raising her head or speaking. Of course Mom had many conversations with the both of them throughout the whole process with paperwork and other things, but each time Robert was the only one that spoke for them and Paula NEVER raised her head to look at anyone. Mom has been convinced ever since that Paula did not act alone in the murders, and if she did hurt the baby girls it was because Robert didn't want girls, he only wanted boys. They had a boy child at the time that was unharmed throughout the whole ordeal. I can't remember how old the boy was, but he was also quite small at the time. All these years later the scars the tragedy left on a tiny town of barely 2500 people still resonates.
I remember learning about that crime on an episode of Forensic Files.
It's one of those cases that sticks with you.
Years later, Robert and their son were killed in an automobile accident. I believe that Paula has been paroled from prison not too long ago.
Love the longer video. And the “ad” in the middle was golden 😂. This channel just keeps getting better and better.
Agreedꨄ. I’ve one criticism that’s increasingly nagging @me: I’m a bit disappointed and frankly turned off by the last “If you’re a member of the 𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐗+/- community...” To clarify, we’re talking about someone’s sexual preferences. Since when are people being “harassed” or discriminated against over their bedroom choices, and so much that it’s necessitated a special closing statement of outreach with a support hotline?!?
Just thought I’d point out the irony in mentioning victims of domestic abuse seeking support or shelter-not *women’s* shelters-seeing as your abuser may now “self-identify as female” and stay at that very shelter you’ve sought refuge.
GOLDEN!!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😍🤣
Right??? OMG that ad had me in stitches 😂😂😂
@@robinmcinarnay7827 My lord, you people really have no shame. The LGBT community is still actively being oppressed today (as evidenced by your very comment), and they deserve to have a safe space.
Dude, i hope you continue to blow up. One of the most underrated crime channels on RUclips. And i mean that with the utmost respect. Impeccable research
agreed
Yes.Exactly. This channel is different from all other crime channels- in a good way. Very professional.
Agreed.
great story teller.. interesting ( if sad )topics and I love the band T-shirts....
This channel has heart…mind and soul too
As a parent who lost a child due an accident this story just sickens me.
I am sorry for your loss sir, may you find peace.
so sorry for your loss :(
As a father of three boys, I can’t imagine any parent harming their own or anyone else’s children! This infinitely sad and tragic story brought tears to my eyes for the two little boys who suffered at the hands of their monstrous mother. RIP baby David and little Steven. 🙏🙏
Agree. Could never imagine hurting my 13&16 boys. I think about my boys when I see stuff like this. Think I love them so much. When I watched Chris watts who killed his wife and two little girls. Describing it. Omg. How? So sad for those beautiful girls.
I have 3 sons myself, too. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep them healthy and safe, so the cases involving parents that hurt (or worse) their kids are especially hard to hear. I just can't understand how someone could willingly ignore what should be an unbreakable parental instinct to protect those that need protection most.
As a father of no kids, I can.
Jk... ofc.
I also have 3 boys and one of them is currently 4..and I just look at him and think, how? How could you possibly want to hurt him?!
He's full of life and says the best random stuff and he dances! God I couldn't bare not seeing him or hearing him again, those boys should be grown now having babies of their own it's so so sad.
It’s heartbreaking 💔
I have a pretty strong stomach for true crime. Steven’s story of his last meal and visit to his little brother’s grave almost forced me to stop. Goddamn, “monster” doesn’t begin to describe Ellen.
Rest in peace, little ones. 😢
Edit: Fixed a homophone.
I dont usually do this but for the lil ones its "peace"
Sick monsters roaming about in this world.
Resting in piece conveys a disturbing mental image. It’s Rest In Peace.
poor thing couldn't help it!! She had postpartum depression!!
I believe she is going to hell, but,
HELL is too luxurious a final resting place for someone who murders children for the insurance money.
I had a friend who took kids to babysit in her house and had a baby fall victim to SIDS. She quit watching babies but she was strong and got thru it. You could see in her eyes the lingering pain.
My friends first child died at the baby sitters of SIDS.
That last bit where they staged a room is genius. She was full of herself and definitely would’ve ate up the fact that a whole team of people was working around the clock on her
I love how we get to see you more ! It’s nice to put face to voice ! Thank you for the content 🎉
My thoughts exactly! I love his voice and watch his videos to fall asleep often, so it's so nice to put a face to the voice! ❤
We need more Jiles's in the world mate. ❤ would be better place
I must agree!!!! Very nice to see the face to this epic voice!!! Ty ty ty for your hard work in bringing us content especially the truth of it all. ❤
All these true crime channels are doing everything with AI now. That's why these real creators are all showing their faces at the beginning of the videos. There's about 2 to 3 each day that pop up on my feed and you can tell it's 100% AI from the script to the voice. Glad we have people still working hard and not becoming AI-infected morons.
STOP SHOWING YOU! WHY YOU CANT DO IT LIKE BEFORE? WHAT IS UP? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A GIRL? BOY? FAME? WHY YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF NOW? PLEASE TELL US! I MEAN IT IS A CRIME CHANNEL AND YOU NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE AND NOW YOU DO IT! WHY? YOU WANT A REACTION? Do you want to be recognized outside now? In the bars and discotheques? That's the only realistic explanation, because otherwise you wouldn't do it at all and just let it run as normal as before. 🤦♂🤦♂👎👎
“The motherly instincts of a garbage can“ 😂😂😂 The way I just hollered out loud 😂😂😂
I lost my son 28 years ago due to a birth defect of his lungs. I still hurt and cry. How is this woman so evil? 😢
Because she doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself. Evidently...
how awful... i lost my mom going on 6 years ago now, and i still cry every day. I couldn't bear to outlive my son; you have survived, and that takes incredible strength.
My Granny always told us when we asked how people could so callously do horrible things, "Be glad you can't understand. If you could understand it, you could do it, too.".
Money. -_-
😪
This season is brutal. Every episode has me wanting to go pick up my daughter early from school and just hug her. 😢
I relate a lot. Just had to pause & watch my little boy sleep for a few minutes, after the part about Stevens last outing. Pregnancy literally half killed me, but meeting my son gave me life, & he walks this earth with my whole heart inside him. So I can't absorb so much as a shred of HOW ppl like Ellen can get 3 beautiful babies, then do this to them.
I don't have kids but o my God!!!
I was not blessed enough to have children. That parents kill their greatest gifts is sickening to me. I have decided this will be the last child abuse/murder case I'm going to listen to for a long time.
@@jacquelinea3358
Do not watch David & Louise Turpin case. No one dies, but nevertheless .. I just came from it with a completely broken heart.
What some parents can and do to their own children is incomprehensible to me. This is the reason I even started watching the morbid side of RUclips.. to try and "understand" how can they. I never got an answer, but did realize something: We can't understand it. It's impossible. If we could, we'd be the monsters ourselves. And clearly it's only a small percentage of the entire population that is so.
Do it! She will remember it got the rest of her life
I knew Randy Simms, the son of Paula Simms. She was a monster, but him and his father were sweet and kind. Randy never said a harsh word, and would always smile in class. Despite his tragedy he did his best every day to live as a good person. Him and his father died in a car accident a few years back. It was a horrible tragedy. What is worse is that Paula is walking the streets again since their death. Thank you for bringing her case up, if only for a moment. It keeps Randy and his father's memories alive just a little longer and reminds us all of the monster Paula is.
I shudder to think how many parents got away with murdering their children under the protective guise of SIDS. I love that no matter how horrific the case, you’re able to insert humor that isn’t inappropriate!
Totally agree on both mentioned!!
OH boy!!
Similar to the murder of elderly people being dismissed as natural causes or old age
We are most vulnerable at the beginning and end of life
@@janeeyre1990 - very true, unfortunately.
@@janeeyre1990 😢.. its scary. I bet it happens a lot
Your commentary about these absolutely ridiculous and disgusting monsters you report on is what gets me through the day. You somehow manage to make me laugh even in the darkest videos at the sheer outlandish and ridiculous actions of some of these criminals . Keep it up! Loving the content
Pas
Thank you! Exactly how I see it! Sad but with a sense of sarcasm!
Thanks for the midstory break about the "medication" LESKIL. As I listen to true crime stories the one's about children being abused or worse, those are always the most difficult to hear about. The moment of levity is appreciated.
I came to see who else appreciated the leskil ad lol 😂 needs to make a video just for that ❤
My son was born with a rare syndrome, i spent ten years taking him from pillar to post until we finally got a diagnosis. My heart hurts for him as he will always be in pain and it cant be cured. He's almost 19 now and I'd happily take the pain off him if i could. I will never understand how someone can hurt children. Ever. Why would insurance companies insure small children?
These are the hardest stories. Sweet innocent children, looking up to, loving and relying on these monsters only to be neglected, abused and ultimately killed. Crushing.
I’m typically emotionally indifferent after listening to each episode, but I couldn’t help but feel immense anger towards this woman hearing how much that little boy missed his brother.
Thank you for conducting the story with proper structure and thoroughness. Whoever writes the script is phenomenal at organizing chains of events.
Thank you for the years of consistently high quality content Jiles, I'm sure constantly researching horrendous crimes isn't easy on the mind and i hope you're doing well. I appreciate your matter of fact delivery and respect towards the victims as well as the accurate, well presented information. As someone who's been watching since season 1, i'm very happy to see you slowly nearing the big million because you absolutely deserve it
❤ I just want to say, I’ve been watching from the start & the heart you put into each case is incredible, you cover stories that people need to hear & to see the “man behind the voice” is amazing ! Much ❤️ & respect.
Another OG yeah when he was a tiny Channel I love to see his growth I'm so glad he is where he is he still underrated though
Was also here when he was just a podcast. Love every episode. Cant wait to see how big your channel will get. Hopefully it never stops growing but ya get what I'm saying !
One reason I subscribe to this channel is the absolute attention to detail. I have look at the same stories on other channels, and have found them to be lacking. It seems like so many cotent producers go for the 10 minute mark but they leave out so many relevant details. This channel is nearly obsessive about having the complete story. Thank you very much for all the hard work in researching and collating these stories. It is appreciated.
The harm she did is atrocious, AND I am always disappointed and disgusted that more isn't said about the men who casually create and abandon their children with mentally unstable women who may not have been pushed past the point of rational restraint but for the their actions. There are countless stories like this, where the men assume more babies will give sick women purpose and then simply...walk away.
I totally agree. It's a constant theme. From a criminology perspective, it's called double deviance. Essentially, it's due to this societal perception that mothers are caregivers and nurturing and it's "worse" for women to commit these crimes.
Yes, fathers very often get a pass in these situations when they abandon their children. Fathers' presence in situations like this could have prevented it from escalating as well as giving children a way out of a dangerous situation.
They walk away to escape crazy women. No one should have to put up with that.
@@LRhoIt is worse when a mother does it. A mother actually carries the baby and is supposed to physically/chemically bond with the baby. Her prime objective then becomes the desire to keep that child alive. It's beyond reprehensible that she then harm that child. Men are more likely to harm or walk away from their children, a man isn't even 100% sure that the child is his. For a mother to do so totally goes against nature.

This is By far the best speaking voice on You tube. 👏🏼👏🏼 well spoken , clear interesting . Wish all were the same !😊
As a St Louisan, I can personally see how much in-depth research you did for this story. Showing pics of the arena and the apt building for which I'm familiar with really hits home.
Ikr! I recognize the apartment complex but I just don’t know the name of it.
Yes, seeing a photo of the old "Checkerdome" was pretty unexpected.
As an interplanetary android, I agree.
I know this must have taken a very long time to put together, but I really love the deep dive you did on this case!
I’m the mom of only 1 child. A son , who will be 21 years old on Halloween.
I love him so much and am so proud of the young man he’s become.
His father passed away and there were times while my son was younger that money was tight but he always brought me so much joy , no matter how many bills needed to be payed. The thought of a “ mother” murdering her children for any reason, much less money is appalling and I can’t wrap my mind around it. Animals will give their life for their babies and then we have humans like this sorry woman !!!
On a lighter note …. Your ad for Leskil had me howling 😂😂🤣🤣
Thank you for all your hard work! I love this channel so much. I was so heated about this case when the Leskil advertisement came up , I needed it , perfect timing !!!!
May these sweet babies rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
Love to all. ♥️
Another superbly researched and delivered case. I had 3 girls under 3 on my own and understand the financial and emotional weight that it can bring, but in all of it the biggest fear was always something happening to one of my babies. Ps loved the ad for Leskil 😂
Father? The a**hole that left his wife and three kids for another woman and didn’t care enough to pay child support?!?! She disgusts me, but so does he. Breaks my heart to hear that these angels were killed, but if the sperm donor cared at all he would have remained in their lives and PAY for their support! I hate no one, but I hate actions or the lack thereof, and in this case it’s the ones of this POS ‘father’ and of course the evil, so-called ‘mother’. RIP little angels
Jiles, you’re leaving us? :(
Maybe he left her cause he’d seen she was a crazy psycho and he needed to get away??
@@ridinwithjakeso true, but that's why the courts are there. Go to court to get custody or at the very least, pay child support. Visit the kids. Ignore the ex, but dote on those kids.
I agree just because he didn't like his Wife which I can understand he should have reached out to other Family Members to take the boys in. He is just as much to blame for their murders. This is such a heartbreaking 💔😢
To be fair here, we are getting one side of the story, 3rd hand it you will. Seeing as she killed her kids, possibly She was the reason for him booking it to another state? We dont know Now I dont gamble but... I would put a buck or 3 on her. Humans are shit, to what degree is the only difference between us all.
You can’t win in family court as a man. Even if the woman is certifiably insane with a meth addiction in many cases. Your post is completely uninformed, emotional and hyperbolic. I support every man that’s willing to move to a non-extradition country to one up the corrupt family court system. They’d rather work on a coffee farm in Venezuela as an illegal migrant taking a major hit to their lifestyle than support an abusive woman with another man’s kids they are forced to pay for. And god bless them. Men need to stop contributing and paying into this predatory society.
I'm only 16 minutes in, but I needed to pause the video to thank you for the amusing but true toddler comments within this horrific story. It helps break up the sadness and utter heartbreak of what these innocent babies went through.
After almost 5 years of trying for a baby, I finally got pregnant. She is my world and my EVERYTHING. I am a stay at home Mama and I love every single minute with her.
Hearing these stories about these evil and sadistic people and what they do to these innocent babies really tears me up. Your hardest story to sit through was baby Sterling. I was an emotional wreck trying to watch it. I never met that beautiful baby, but he pops into my mind every day since I watched his story. Even though it's so hard for my Mama heart to watch and listen to these stories, I know it's important for their stories to be heard. I just don't understand why these evil monsters (I refuse to call them parents because they definitely are not) can do this to their own children.
Thank you for researching these cases and telling these innocent babies stories. Please take care of yourself and emotional well being while researching these cases. Keep up the great work!
I read this book a few years ago. You covered this very well, including all of the details. Thank you for investing so much in telling these stories.

Perfectly said!!!!!
Agreed.. gotta love the LESKIL ad lol 😂
Ellen Boehm is a narcissist full stop. To want material things, financial gains over human life is bad enough but to acquire these things through your own flesh & blood is aboveboard cold. Thank you for sharing this tragic true story with us, I always look so forward to your feeds, the ‘ commercial ad “ was of course “ comicial “ as I presume it was intended to be although I wish it did exist in our screwed up world such is as these days. Well done and I look forward to your next feed Jilles. 🇨🇦
Leskil, the inability to taste the color purple! I am done 💀🤣🤣
You are beyond brilliant! This is why I love This Is Monsters! The great content, cases I had never even heard of (rare), and the little nuggets of sarcasm, sprinkled here and there! Thank you sir! Salute ✌🏾💖
Fantastic episode- I love the detail & length. Thanks for your hard work to deliver us quality content about interesting, yet horrible cases. Also- the "ad" for Leskil was awesome. Love your sense of humor!!
That ad caught me off-guard! And then I laughed out loud......a much needed commercial during a chilling case!
OMG I love your “Leskil” promo, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe, it’s refreshing when folks can add humor to something not meant to be funny, ya know? I appreciate every one of your videos & all the hard work you do to give freaks like me some gory content to watch lol keep on rocking it dude 👍🏼😊
That LESKIL commercial was hilarious. Caught me totally off guard. Did not see that coming lol
Nobody ever wants to question something serious like this because they’re afraid of being called a “victim blame” or upsetting ppl. But if you have a gut feeling that something isn’t right you need to act on it, especially if you think they’re dangerous or something. It’s hard but there are a lot of dangerous, liars out there.
Jiles, you’re a gift.. you really are.. 😁
I did a double take on Leskil 😝 that was absolutely fantastic..
thank you..
And
Thanks for all the hard work these unbelievably difficult topics take to make into media for us.. you do an amazing job with the worst material possible..
it’s appreciated..
What she did was horrendous. An unstable woman with deep insecurities is a dangerous woman. This was more than someone overwhelmed with responsibilities. She was a manipulative liar. So sad for her children. They didn't ask to be born and I am sorry, but their father was pretty awful too, abandoning them to go off with someone else😢..that is a terrible thing to do as well. He could have provided child support at the very least, to take a little financial pressure off. A terrible and tragic outcome. I really hope their daughter gets all the support she needs to come to terms with what happened to her little brothers.
I really love that you’ve started to make an appearance during the intros! It’s such a great added touch to the show!
Just found you today, subscriber for life. As an avid crime voyeur, listening to you is top notch. Time to binge watch.
When they were passing the cemetery and the 4 year old boy started crying about missing his little brother just broke my heart and I shed some serious tears. I have 5 siblings and my mom and dad were so protective of us , always made sure we were safe and had everything we needed to succeed in life. I just have a hard time understanding how someone could be so evil. RIP litte ones, you are safe with the lord now✨✨🙏
I cried when the 2 year old was killed. I have a child the same age & i could never harm his sweet little face, i just love my child way to much. Yes motherhood can be hard but the rewards definitely outweigh any difficulties
The Leskil ad was absolutely hilarious! I love this channel so much lol.
I know this was during the 80s so maybe there was just a lack of knowledge about this in the medical community. But right off, SIDS is practically impossible at two years old. I'm not sure of the actual statistics but it's less and less common as babies age. I know this "mom" is a monster already 😔
This is one of those cases which leaves even the experts absolutely *SPEECHLESS*
My abusive mother killed 3 of her sons before the age of 2 and the first 2 were labeled as "SIDS" and the 3rd was labeled as medical neglect on her part. She forbid any of us other children (8) from speaking to anyone, including CPS. We knew what was waiting for us if we spoke up. She would change states and husbands every 2 years, cleaning them out as she went. Marrying one before divorcing the last. She'd always claim she had a "huge settlement" coming and would have them buy boats, houses, and expensive cars having them put her name on things otherwise she wouldn't "share" her settlement money when it came. She did this for decades. She died alone in January of this year and was found a month later. No one did anything except cremated her and her final husband picked up her ashes. People who do stuff like this don't deserve to live let alone have any dignity in death either. My sisters and I provided headstones for our brothers 30 years later once we finally found out where they were buried after she died.
It has legitimately happened
You can die of a type of SIDS up to 15yo, there have even been adults labeled as dying from it or a version of it.
I know of a lady how lost her 8yo to Sudden child death...it was sad but he just stopped breathing while asleep and died 😢 there was nothing that could have been done sometimes kids just stop breathing in their sleep, I believe if it happens allot it does actually have a name for the condition, my own brother use to do it but grew out of it never had any medical help just a few Dr trips.
It was a blessing in disguise tho because the lady I knew with the 8yo had more kids and her 3rd child also stopped breathing in her sleep and because the lady was now very watchful she would check on the kids at night she managed to catch her wee girl and shake her awake and saved her life. She then wore a monitor with an alarm after that for a few years but grew out of it 👍
So even tho she lost her boy her experience saved her daughter and she said it was her boys gift to her.
After hearing her story I check my boys every night when I wake up to go to the loo or get a drink 👍 and kept them as babies close to me and it helped because my son at 2 had a bad cough and he also stopped breathing but obviously that isn't sudden it was an actual problem with the airways but still I thank that lady for her story.
Hope this story helps with the understanding of SIDS a little.
It's every parents worst nightmare 💔
You are right about this woman in the video tho...don't seem like SIDS to me ... Very sad.
Just wanted to add that I am from the UK and the midwifes must say different things from country to country so I fully understand if the information is different but equally still scary and sad 😢
@@c_me_now my gosh I'm so sorry your mum was such a monster :(
The fact you got your brother's headstones in the end just moved my heart so much ❤ my heart goes out to you sweet x
Best intro music on the web! Also such a great voice for these stories.
The commercial break in the middle of this video for "Leskil" literally cracked me up! Unfortunately I was drinking coffee at the time, which spewed everywhere and shot out of my nose.... 🤣 LMFAO
It was a nice bit of dark humor directed at these monsters that hurt, maim and kill their own children.
Great content Jiles, as always.
Love how long this is. I listen all day at work. Thank you so much for all your hard detective work in the videos and making sure the victims aren't forgotten. I'll see you on the next one! Take care🤜🤛💜
I had to pause at the Leskil ad. My coworkers thought I was having a seizure from laughing. 😂
Thank you for covering a St. Louis case, Jiles! Just FYI, the women's prison is pronounced Chilly-coth-ee, one of 2 in the state. The one they send you to if you're in danger of other inmates, I'm glad to hear she's there.
If you ever do another STL case, could you please cover the abduction of 9-year-old Angie Houseman? The -- POS left her alive, duct taped to a tree in February, after 9 days of no food or water. Hunters found her just hours after she froze to death. It was next to Lake 32 at Busch Wildlife. They finally found the guy, after finding semen on her Barbie underwear, 2 decades later... Makes me gag.
Oh my 😢
God this makes me so angry.. breaks my heart.
@@IToastMySocks My mom said when they announced they found her, and how she was frozen to death, my mom teared up went to give me a hug and hold me, but couldn't find me. I was 8 and looked just like Angie, and was playing a game. Ignorant pf the circumstances, I'd hidden under a chair and eventually jumped out to scare her. Needless to say, I frightened her way more than I meant to. Especially as this girl disappeared walking half a block to her house from the school bus, and the neighbor who usually watched the kids get off looked away for literal seconds to tend to her own kid. That's all it took for him to shove her in his van and drive off.
You had me in the first half of that ad. Thought it was going to be real haha. It's nice to hear a lighthearted take after so much pain and suffering. Keep it up!
Omg wow its you! I just found you and let me say this channel rules and you have me captivated with the way you tell a story. Wow.
Yes! I'm one of the people to keep mentioning the Ellen Boehm case. Thank you!
"Motherly instincts of a trash can " I'm still laughing.
So sad for those children, my heart goes out.
Loving the channel as always!
I had mild laugh attack (including spilling my soup all over my office) at the leskil ad. I love you
Your shirt got a laugh out of me. I bought the album "How to Clean Everything" when i was in middle school. I only had it for a few days before my mom found it and read the song list on the back and threw it away.
Somewhere Sinister is fabulous!!! I'm a day one fan!
Still wish you would think about doing a few from Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine
Always a fabulous job
Hope your move goes well
❤
Paying for a Chevy Lumina should have been a giveaway 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for this extra long video! It's lovely to listen for a while, press pause, go do some chores then come back and still be in the thick of a really interesting story 👍
First and foremost, I want to say your videos are always such top tier quality, equal to that of JCS. Thank you for your dedication and hard work so that we the viewers can learn about these cases through such high quality. But secondly, the ugly snort laugh I did when I heard, "Do not take Leskil if you are allergic to thr number 6" really sent me. Was not expecting such a good laugh from such a serious video, but it was a nice reprieve from such a heavy topic.
Who is JCS? Thx.
This is the second time I’ve watched this video and I still love LesKil as much as the first time I heard it. Especially the Ts & Cs at the end 😂
The horror these children lived through is heartbreaking 💔😓
You have a great story telling voice
Lezkil commercial is outstanding your attention to detail in the small print and side effects is just incredible. Great comedy for such a heavy subject. Your voice is perfect for narration.
I was hoping you would cover this case. You are by far my most favorite true crime RUclips channel. You were made for this work and you doing this gives the victims and their families a voice and memory never forgotten. I hope you and your brother and families continue to go far in your careers and much success for all that you do. Thank you 😊
15:00. Yes. I know exactly what you mean. The sinking feeling you get when you realize that you are not going to have even that precious hour of alone time after the kids should be asleep. But you don’t kill them. It’s just part of being a parent.
This guy is hilarious 😂. The sarcasm is cracking me up
Wow! This was a fantastic deep dive of a fascinating case! Thank you for the hard work you've done to create this episode, Jiles.
Long time listener first time caller. Love the show
Omg the Leskil part caught me off guard that was hilarious! We need all the funny dealing with this case....Ellen is so infuriating it makes me sick 😫 the poor boys 😢
I laughed so hard at that commercial that I actually felt a little ashamed of myself because this is such a horrifying story!😂😂😂😂😂
I was laughing so hard I actually forgot what I was watching... it's just weird how Jiles could be that funny with such seriousness
I found this joke to be misplaced, would have been more relevant in a classic serial killer case.
Overall I'd consider it distasteful and just.... weird.
The case cover was good tho.
My heart goes out to these kids under Ellen's care. Ellen was a delusional Momster!! I'm glad Sara was safe & justice came for this Momster.
My first click on your channel and lucky me I pick a case right where I’m sitting at. I live by Cardinal Glennon. They saved my kids life. She’s a monster!!!
I just want to say, that i super enjoy your channel, and your voice is phenomenal
Its cool that we get to see you narrate these stories, plus love the t shirts! 😎❤️
