Great one BC! I love the Monday morns! ❤️-SweetHomeAlamanda
When so many people die left and right I don’t think life has any meaning if your brain is such inclined
Sad times to come
I am Christopher Deering and descendent of The Deering family Masacre. If my great grandfather wasn't sick he would have come home from his aunts in Bristol pa. I woukd never have been born. 1 sole 🎉survivor William (Willie) Deering 8years old...the rest is God's mercy and history. We Never Forget thanks to my Father James B. Deering wrote a book for us 7 kids to always pass on and Remember what happened and how we became the family we are...
What a horrible excuse for a human being. He murdered so many innocent people for barely nothing. Absolutely disgusting. Glad he was caught and convicted.
I kept thinking I missed something about a safe full of money or gems in the house and even went back to listen again to a couple of parts as I was watching, but at the end, no, it was like for whatever change he might find lying around. He was almost as stupid as he was horrible. Christ, those poor people. Like you said, for nothing.
the type of guy you wish you could bring him back to life and kill him for each victim.
@@addie_is_me It sounds like he just wanted to kill. People don't always understand their own motives
Today, he probably would be dragging through appeals even if found guilty.
@@tastx3142
Oh my, definitely, especially here in horridly liberal California. Get me out of here.
How sad after Mr Deering gave him a second chance too. He welcomed a monster back into his home. I guess it’s true that no good deed goes unpunished.
Damn, he killed an entire family except one kid who only survived because he just happened to not be there. I can't imagine getting that news.
@Purplekitty81 ingram I haven't heard of that. Cover it BC!!!!
@Purplekitty81 ingram Something to look forward too! I guess I'll check out Unsolved's video on it, since BC recommended it
I blame the parents. Thankfully they were punished enough by the mistake they brought into this world.
It was recently covered by Unsolvable
@Purplekitty81 ingram exactly what I thought very similar to that case.
Disgusting...what a way to repay someone who gave him a second chance. Thank you BC.
Define "second chance".....
000000
Poor family, you can just imagine this plain, well meaning folk- how could they ever have anticipated meeting with such a person. What a tragedy.
Why? Killed children without hesitation.
It seems that he was very bitter, and blamed others for his problems.
A very sad case, the family murdered , when they had been happy before Anton entered their lives.🌹
I agree. Your comment is the best.
Why did this choke me up?
He slaughtered 4 young kids?? No sympathy whatsoever and his death sentence fit the crime..
And one a baby, who couldn't have told authorities anything. Psychopathic...
The trouble is, though, that a death sentence doesn't act as a deterrent. Does the state have the right to take a life? I'd argue no - but I understand why many think differently.
It's a deterrent in the sense that they can never get out on parole eventually and live to kill again.
@@derby1884 He killed 7 people, he probably would have killed again had he gotten out. For people like this, that kill a lot of people, I think the death penalty should exist for these people alone. I'm sure the only living kid of this family would agree with me.
@@derby1884 I don't give a shit about what is a deterrent or not. People are against death penalty until their daughter or loved one gets tortured, raped, and murdered. Then you want the bastard dead. You see your loved one's life taken away from them, they cannot enjoy life anymore, and their murderer adapts to prison quickly and to the new normal, they laugh, celebrate birthdays, see relatives, enjoy the little things, etc. Some people simply do not deserve to be alive.
Imagine going away to stay with your grandparents and finding out that you were the only survivor of your family.
I would feel like there was something important I needed to do, like I had been spared for a purpose
I'm fortunate my great grandfather was the sole survivor. William Deering. I am Christopher Deering.
I’d like to have read that letter to his parents explaining what he’d been up to in America since he left Germany.
😂 oh and i killed some people
lol.. really. how do you even start a letter like that??
@@marylevin9262 I had to throw away some nice clothes. They had blood on them.
What was wrong going to England- it's closer and they have opportunities?
So he killed a whole family just for 13.00 and a few possessions? The part with the kids was hard to listen to.
$13.00 was probably alot back then probably worth hundreds
@@gjfjfk To put it into perspective, he was originally being paid $15/month, so he killed 7 people for less than a month's wages. Pretty evil.
@@thelogicaldanger true
I openly mockthat you think humans need a reason in the first place... Humans exert their cruelty and brutality and just invent whatever reason... Open up your perspective and see as I see, we... We are a plague, a blight to all and everything around us... We only destroy and consume... Oh, were that I had a Mass cure... Alas, I am but one, but I move accordingly and with purpose...
Truly horrible family massacre for absolutely no reason, it seems. So little was known about sociopaths back then, his reasons for the killings went to the gallows with him.
He was a psychopath. He was looking for ways to make money quickly without working. He probably figured there would be more valuables in the house than there were. Psychopaths don’t feel bad for their victims. Very tragic.
@Dirty Magic11 so, he was born that way.
@Dirty Magic11 mumbo jumbo. 😂
@@tinyGrim1
Yes, psychopaths are born with disorders which are genetic..Sociopaths are born healthy but are created by the environment to which they were raised...Usually by an overbearing parent or a verbal abusive one, or whomever was their prominent caregiver in their developmental years.
The child is basically damaged beyond repair..The extent of their abuse is telling by the time they reach adulthood.
There's a fine line between sociopathy and psychopathy. Experts believe there is no difference between the two.
I believe Chris Watts and Jodi Arias are very similar, but have slightly different characteristic traits.
Jodi being a sociopath and Chris is a psychopath.
I could be totally wrong, but that's my observation.
🙂
@@tinyGrim1 I agree. I caught all kinds of hell for writing something like that.😂
Just fyi, $300 in 1865 would be the equivalent of $4,900 today.
Love this channel!!
What a despicable human being Anton Probst, to kill a family in such a "horrific" way for absolutely nothing, period. He must've had some underlining mental health issues, because I can't believe a rational person would have committed such murders. Glad he was found guilty and executed. Great investigating of this story, as usual.
He fed the animals so they wouldn't make noise for a day or two
Enlisted dozens of times, never saw battle, still managed to get shot
Get the feeling he wouldn't have been much of a soldier anyway.
What a loser
A guy who kills for little to no reason is a psychopath. He knew he wasn't getting away with it and the reward was barely worth anything. People like him are super dangerous considering they don't give you any indicator of malicious intent.
Very enjoyable. I have never heard of Anton Probst. Poor Deerings, Ms. Dolan, and Cornelius. Did he ever murder in Germany I wonder.
@Purplekitty81 ingram yes, eerily so. I double checked multiple times to make sure what story i'm listening to
Though, the murders of Hinterkaifek ocurred in 1922, over 50 years after Probst ran rampage.
It's highly likely.
Someone doesn't just murder a bunch of people like that out of the blue..
Serial killers start out small, with one murder, they get a thrill from it..then escalates as time passes on.
There are patterns of questionable, disturbing behaviors that youngsters go through before they become older / adult serial killers.
I think he had 2
@Purplekitty81 ingram
Dates do not match
He was dead at time of those murders
No good deed goes unpunished. I can't believe that he nearly wiped out an entire family over money.
On holiday and touring the South Island of New Zealand. Still look forward to the weekly installment of Brief Case. Good morning everyone!
I really want to go to NZ, hope you are having a good time :)
Have a fabulous time!!! 👍🏼 ❤️
@@BriefCaseOfficial same! NZ just seems do diff!
You mean you’ve sacrificed a fun filled 🤥 lockdown????? 😂🤣😂🤣
Where do you live? You're lucky you can visiting places
This guy sounds like he may be the killer of the Hinterkaifeck family! Listening to this video totally gave me the chills....there are so many similarities between both .
Hinterkaifeck was almost 60 years later..
I wish they could have studied his brain. There was something WAY wrong with that guy! Happy Monday, Mr. Case! Love your channel!
To the contrary, Probst was all TOO mentally sound and was merely a criminal. According to your thinking, all manner of thugs are insane and should not be punished. The channel should not have loved your comment simply because of your compliment.
@@parasite674 Wow, Barry, you sure took a lot of liberties in telling me what and how I think. Sure hope your day gets better.
@@lillymom7909 If you retained the information you heard from the video instead of wanting your butt kissed, you would have remembered Probst is lazy and only wanted to work hard to murder the farmer and his family. The first thing Probst did to make money in America was to enlist in different regiments of the Army to collect the rewards.
My day is too wonderful and full to spend anymore time with this. You obviously have an axe to grind and picked me. Sorry... I'm not playing. 😊
@@parasite674 Recognition that someone is mentally ill doesn’t excuse them from sentencing, and YOU are going by the wrong assumption about prosecution and “the insanity defense”. One can absolutely have mental illness and still be in control of their thought process, and they can absolutely plan things like murder, they can also be psychopaths or sociopaths in co morbidity with whatever mental illness they are diagnosed with. It doesn’t negate the fact that they suffer from mental illness.
This story sounds so eerily similar to the Hinterkaifeck massacre in Germany, but at least they knew he did this. Hinterkaifeck is still unsolved.
Everyone is mentioning that!! I've never heard of it. Please cover the story BC!!
Wonder if it was a copycat.
@@janinedear-barlow doubt it. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to commit a massacre and then put hay over them.
@@Dawe360 doesn't mean it wasn't. Some people don't thing about it till they hear about it.
This dude had an obsession with axe's, barn's and hay.. Geez
When I saw the photo it looked creepy. My heart goes out to those the lunatic murdered. Great job. Another one you listen to twice to believe what you're hearing.
This story has givin me the heebie-jeebies! I love stories that affect me on an emotional level! Thank you BC for another good one! 😉✌
I can't figure why he found it necessary to commit mass murders, a low profit robbery ?
Because he wanted to. Those are the scariest.
His history of bounty jumping during the Civil War was a window into his poisoned mind, i.e. sociopath.
I'm convinced we are missing information about Anton and his younger years. He didn't "just ge this way" over night.
@@kimlersue I believe you're right.
He clearly cared for no one else in the world but himself.
Another enthralling case BC. It's hard sometimes to digest that a case such as this is fact and not fiction - the cruelty, evil and sheer stupidity involved is mind boggling. Thanks as usual.
Everyone has a good Monday, now that Brief Case started it off, the 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 right way!
Monday isn't officially Monday until you've clicked on B C .
Hi! Totally agree! No Brief Case, No Monday!
WOW, what a horrific murderer! I am from South Jersey a 5 minute train ride from Philly. I worked in center city Philly. I know our history because it started there. BUT I have never heard of this horrible happening. Such a sad sad story. My maternal great grandparents are from Dublin. My paternal great great grandparents are from Prussia which was before Germany was Germany. What a shame how Anton wasted his chance of being a decent human being in a new country.
Hey hey BC! Hoping all of u r well! I made it in the nick of time!!! Dearest BC, I ❤️ ur channel and I have to admit, u have kept me going and u still r throughout this craziness! Bless u!!! Much love from the Labrador and myself here in the West Midlands! 👍👍👍🥰

What an evil, lazy, greedy man. A very sad story. Thank you for this unusual case
You said the "two gentlemen went to the barn". Pardon me for saying but that monster was no gentleman. I enjoy your stories every Monday as I get ready for work.
These past weeks, my Monday nights has been really entertaining listening/watching your uploads 😊 Usually, it will be my after dinner entertainment. Today's upload will be my bedtime winding down entertainment. It's like having someone tell me a story instead of me reading it haha thank you BC for this week's upload 😊
They showed him kindness he didn't deserve. Honestly, the death penalty feels like a slap on the wrist. Also its obvious he wasn't sorry because of what he did. He was sorry he got caught before he could do it again.
I love these old stories I've never heard before. Your narration is clearly understandable even for those of us who have hearing difficulties. Thank you for these great videos.
Thanks for watching
What a horrible man killing an innocent family.
I reckon he only confessed to killing all of them because he couldn't stand the thought of a non existent person getting credit for his disgusting crimes
I'm already on my second watch. This is proof that some people are just rotten to the core.
I'm early for once yay. Gonna enjoy this video! Thank you
I was about to listen to your old videos again and you uploaded this. Your videos are amazing keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Terrible man to do such a thing to nice people. I am glad that he was found and brought to justice.
Another great video!! 🤩 I find it interesting how he had planned out the murders then didn't even think about getting away?? I'm glad he was caught. Such a sad thing for an entire family to be annihilated for the greed of this man 😕
Interesting and sad story, thank you BC.
Thanks, Fixed now
This is one of the most interesting stories you ever featured.. He was like a serial killer... And the way he kills is kinda what you would expect in movies..
Hello brief case. Thank you for this video 👍🏼
The Deerings seemed like such a nice family! Good, hardworking people taken out by a useless waste of human flesh. Disgusting.
A record number for saying the phrase "and when he was sure he/she were dead".
Wow, this one was particularly chilling! To methodically murder all those people, take their paltry possessions, and then not bother to flee-one wonders at his reasoning. He seems to have thought he could talk his way out of it. A stone cold psychopath, that one.
This is a great episode, very thoroughly researched.
Good morning everyone!!!👋🌈🌞🐎❤🥰😁🌹
Night time for me haha but good morning to you! ✨🌻😅
Good afternoon
Hi Meemur

How's you Meemurloo? 👋🥰🌻🦘🌸🐈⚘🐨💐🐶🌷
What reason he has to killed all those people.....all he had to do was leave the farm.
He only got a few items of value,wasn't worth committing muder for.
It was easier to kill then to work hard and save his money. He was lazy and didn't like to work.
He just wanted to kill people! Also, I know you didn't mean it that way, but what amount of money IS worth killing for?
@@lazyhomebody1356 am sorry, never meant it that way. I just meant it's not right to kill anyone.
@@lazyhomebody1356 that depends on the person I guess. Anything less than a million bucks isn’t worth the trouble lol
@@denislitvinov8208 Kinda true,lol
Aton was surely one evil man to kill all those people and kids why the farmer took him back to help him and look what he got in return he would surely be in hell for that horrific act. And the only son left getting to know he had no family left all gone together I couldn't imagine it in my worst nightmares thank you again for great story yet sad join us everyone it's a thumbs up from me👍❤️🇬🇧
Horrific
Good morning Brief Case and BC Fam! The thumbnail looks dang scary. Thank you so much. ps. Three hundred dollars back during the Civil War was almost five thousand dollars. This guy was not only a killer, he was a loser. And feel so sorry for Everett and his companions.

$13, clothes, a gun, and knick knacks.
What a freak.
This horrible slaughter for barely more than his first monthly wage...
There wasn’t even any real motive, for killing an entire family! A family that took him in again after they had let him go for his poor work ethic once already! SMH, crazy evil
I love this channel!
Thankyou so much :)
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you, !! , Such a mercenary callous attitude to those that took him in, slaughtering an entire family just for funds to have a few beers, just shows how shallow & soulless he was & got his just reward in death
Thanks BC for, once again, bringing us an interesting case. I really am at a lost for words. What in the actual heck was in this man's mind? I cant understand Mr. Probst's thinking. There really appears to be no reason for his heinous crime. A truly sad case.
As usual, I have to tell you how I always enjoy your docs. Thank you 🦋🦋🦋
More!!! Thanks.❤
He must have been "CRAZY"!
No true German would claim to be French even if faced with arrest and a death sentence after a conviction...

What a case!! So hard to believe that he would go and kill the only people who gave him a job. So sad 😞 thank you for covering this case, BC
Thanks for watching
He was extremely insignificant, obscured and getting more and more bored. Inept, bleak unfortunate people want something to happen to them and think and eventually do that kind of thing if nothing positive develops, just for the escape of dogma and instant drama and attention, then it is far too late.
Powerless but for one act of lunacy.
Great analysis!

Another great video B C ( as usual ) , I hit the Like button before I watch your videos because I just know I'll like them . I was wondering if there's been any crime cases from the Victorian or Edwardian era that happened in Baltimore , Maryland USA and if you would consider covering them ? . Keep up the great work and stay safe.
I will see what I can find - Thanks :)
Thanks for the new upload.. Brutal but fascinating.
Thanks :)
Unlike mr Probst, I can give this video Two Thumbs Up!!
He wrote home to tell his family what he's done. How do you even start that letter? "Dear Mom and Dad, I slaughtered an entire family with an axe for thirteen dollars. Awfully sorry about that. Love, Anton"?
Except instead of "awfully sorry" it said "it was so cool!"
Just want to say that I’ve been watching this channel for just about 3 years and you keep putting out quality content of relatively unknown cases
Thankyou so much for staying with me especially when there are so many amazing Channels to follow
Really enjoy your cases. Your detail is flawless. You bring your cases to life and I always am transported to the scenes.
Thankyou
Good Morning Brief Case.
Well, I figured out he’s as mean as a terrier can be, but he did feed the animals.... kinship?
Still not giving enough of a fuck that they need water to survive, though. Maybe he was such a good for nothing drunkard, he thought everything needs booze. Who knows, maybe the animals were supposed to leave the farm for the tavern when they get thirsty
😒
