Hello Dr. Phillips, I am one of your old students that is now in 6th grade. My name is Austin and I just came to check on your channel. I love that it is going well and am very happy for you on your journey. Keep up the good work!
So good to hear from you, Austin. I miss you guys a bunch. Tell everyone I said hello and keep up the great work thanks for checking in on me. Things are going great.
I could only imagine how much fun his class was. Lol. He must have told you all lots of stories
@@JellyBeansMystreyMachine yeah lol everyone loved his class, and he told a lot of stories 🙃
❤ ❤ ❤
@@AustinIsntHimPlease never lose your caring nature. Things like this comment have more impact than you could imagine.
No AI? Just a mellow-speaking man who knows how to tell a story? SUBBED!!!!!!!
Welcome! Make yourself right at home
@@TedsHoldOver no question about it, the man tells a great story. I've only been subbed to the channel for a couple of months but I haven't heard him tell a bad story yet.
1:28 is absolutely AI..
@@JudyPatootieyou're just ignorant.
I'm going through some tough times in life and listening to these stories helps me get to sleep at night. Thank you from Canada
You will get through it and it will be better on the other side! Life never stays the same for the good or the bad. God bless
Thank you my friend, I’m honored these stories are a blessing to you. ❤️
I hope and pray you get through your tough times❤
Keep your head up!!
What ever your going through you will get through 1 day at a time, maybe even 1 hour at a time. May our Father in Heaven give you strength ❤
I hate commercials. This is my first time listening to you, you're a natural-born story teller. I hope you have kids and grandbabies, my Pa used to have me spellbound telling me his fishing and deer hunting stories. His stories filled my dream - still do.
I learned something by reading the comments. You were or are a teacher. Explains your fabulous vocabulary. Love your stories.
Yes, I taught high school orchestra for 22 years
There's a lot here to unpack. The father may have misidentified her because he desperately wanted closure. But you would have thought that there would have been another current missing persons case that may have explained the body. So many mysteries that will never be solved. Another great story JD.
True- grief can cause people to misidentify victims
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller makes sense.. I pray I never have to experience it.
Me too
The girl had wore his daughter's ring, similar dress and had the same hairstyle. A decomposed face can be unrecognizable. If no other girl was missing at the time, I wonder if the girl dug up a recently deceased girl, dressed her in clothing, cut her hair and put her ring on her? For this she'd probably need help. Could be where the two miners fit in? Could the girl have been pregnant by one of them and wanted to go away, have the baby and place him or her for adoption? The miners may have made up the story of seeing the waitress near the old mine just to send the cops in the wrong direction. They kind of knew the waitress and probably knew her situation as a dumped mistress, knew she was dumb as a rock, gossipy and vengeful.
@@kina18Your explanation is very plausible, but what was left out by the storyteller was why the police didn’t ask Mary Vickery how her ring and dress were on the victim in the cave.
I’ve been dealing with some hard times lately, and listening to these stories really helps me relax and fall asleep. Sending thanks from Canada
Thank you so much, my friend sending positive energy to from the mountains of East Tennessee
Sending u lots of hugs and❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊 hope you will feel better soon🎉
My mother was born in Harlan, Kentucky, in 1913. Her father was a coal miner. My mother would carry a gun when she walked home from work. My sister remembers when she and my mother were walking one day and someone followed them. She didn't have to use the gun, thank goodness, but she would have, I'm sure! I can remember my mother telling me about the gunfights in Harlan. She described hiding behind a building when gunfire broke out one day. It was a hard scrabble existence for the citizens of Harlan. My grandfather,her dad, developed black lung disease, and he went to Knoxvillle for treatment in the hospital. My mother moved to Knoxville to care for him. After he died, my mother never moved back to Harlan. I'm glad I never had to live there, as I was born about 6 months after my grandfather died.
thanks for sharing this story
Country singer Patty Loveless has a song called Harlan about her Daddy or Grandaddy dying from black lung. A soulful felt song indeed.
@@virginiahobby3726 I will find that and listen to it. Thanks!
I did find the video of Patty Loveless singing that song. I called my sister to tell her. She was born in Harlan. She had heard it but I had not. It prompted a long conversation about family roots. Most of which, I didn't know. Thank you
Did you ever see the FX tv series Justified? It was filmed (rather ludicrously) in Southern California, but was set in Harlan and portrayed the people with a great deal of respect. The lead character’s explanation for why he showed respect to a criminal he was hunting was that, “We dug coal together “, I thought sentence beautifully encapsulated the series.
You have a compelling ability to tell stories. It’s a true art. Your voice is so leading that it keeps your listeners spellbound. My granny was also great at telling stories, and listening to you brought her memory back. I love your videos!
Thank you so much, I learned storytelling from my Granny Tollette, she was a master storyteller, I try to tell them the same way I learned the craft
@@dr.barrycohn5461 you obviously didnt watch the video or know anything about this channel... dude, im talking IN PERSON on camera in this video.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller i like your stories but your voice just annoys me some ok
@@Shakespearelover1717 yes indeed it does. On the edge of your seat every second
My grandma was born in Kentucky and her father homesteaded in Northern Wisconsin. She told stories like this often. I miss her and enjoyed hearing you tell it Sir. Great video and great channel.
Thank you 😊
Tough life makes tough ppl but the music, sweet as honey
You are the man for appalachian history.😊
Thanks so much brother!
@@AgadorSpartaca a great line!
If the body was dressed in Mary's clothes and jewellery, perhaps the police should have asked Mary how it got there.
Im sitting here with my 2 boys listening to your incredible story telling on a beautiful Saturday morning. While they are "intense", I know your stories are family friendly. Love listening to you tell your tales, and love that they actually happened. It makes them that much more "scary"
Thank you! Be sure to check out my other channel called the Appalachia channel. I put out family friendly episodes every Sunday morning that contain moral lessons and stories of faith.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Thanks for the heads up! I didnt know you had another channel. I grew up in Cold Spring Kentucky, so this kind of stuff hits home
@@christiandulaney1638 www.youtube.com/@theappalachiachannel
Great JD I'll check out your other channel also
Dear JD, I love stories, they really make my mind think sometimes. I found a couple of weeks ago that I have cancer, so your stories and voice helps calm me. THANK YOU!!
I’m so sorry to hear that my friend, my hope is for strength and courage for you in the face of this trial, which you will overcome. I’m honored these stories provide a bit of distraction. Much love to you my friend. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I hope you beat this cancer and become well again. I wish you all the best in the future.
And no one tells stories with feeling like J.D..
I hope you have a long and happy life. Cancer is a horrible disease. Best wishes.
I had head and neck cancer in 2020 and even though I was 68 at the time, I came through it and am cancer free after chemo, surgery and radiation. Hang tough my friend, sometimes the cure feels worse than the disease when it comes to cancer but just keep on going with what you need to do. I joined a Facebook group for the kind of cancer I had, and I learned alot and had so much support (I have no children and am a widow so I had nobody to support me) that it made it so much better to have people who understood. I highly recommend finding a support group.
Hello. I'm so sorry you're Suffering! Sending Prayers for you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm so happy to have found this channel! I live in WNC and love listening to Appalachian culture, stories, and lore. You are an amazing storyteller, sir! Thank you!
glad to have you here Susan! Make yourself at home!
You truly have found your calling , telling these stories.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that brother.
What an edge of your seat story that was. So many questions left unanswered. The body was id'd by the father through the dress & ring so how did Mary's belongings get on there? Was the unknown girl reburied & if so where? Modern science could probably answer some of these questions if they could test the DNA & match that to living relatives. Great job JD. ❤
Thank you Roberta ❤️
You stated exactly what I was thinking!
What a crazy story! Who knows what *actually* happened?
@@VeraVeronica39 Wilder still is the body was likely Roxy Baker, a sixteen-yearold Coxton girl, whom vanished right after he started working there. As well as 2 married women and THEN Mary. However in the Baker case 3 men also went missing and they never found them and just never cared to look. He was also released a few times and tho times were extended periods, one even a 6 month stay back home with his wife.
I love your stories. The way you tell them, along with the Appalachian way of speaking, makes them so authentic. I was born in Southwest Virginia but my family moved to the San Francisco CA area when I was 3 years old. We remained on the West coast until I was 17. At the age of 18 I moved back to Virginia with my family. At first it was a difficult move for me but slowly I became accustomed to the ways of the community around me. After living 35 years in the Appalachian region it has become my home. Because I grew up on the West Coast I don’t have any type of accent when I speak however; this region is as much my home as the folks who speak with a long, slow drawl. I’m so grateful that my parents moved back to the Appalachian region bringing me home to my people. Thank you again for telling the stories that bring life to the history of this area.
Always a good day when you get to start it off with a great story! Thanks JD for another wonderful tale! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Thank you so much, my friend. Have a blessed Saturday.
Except they are all morbid...
@@valerieadams3944 I mean, that's not true but I do tell stories of criminals folks never heard of, along with stories of God, faith, and family. In fact, there are 180 stories on this channel and only 23 are about crime. Have a blessed day Valerie.
Why was the dead girl wearing Marys ring, shoes and dress? If the case was well known all over the country, why did MARY allow a man to go to prison for her "so-called murder" unless she herself had something to do the the actual dead girl; Seems pretty suspicious to me.
who knows how well known the story was. in that time they didnt have the information highway we do now. mary could have traded clothes with a girl, knowing that her apparel would be reported.
Wow! I didn’t think of that
@@rosemaryus-ct6151 The narrator mentioned that the case was known throughout the country, so Mary would have heard all about the situation
And ... there a few more loose ends. Who was the murdered girl? Who was the murderer? This story follows the innocently jailed men but provides no closure for the case. But it is an interesting, although partial, story.
@@jamesnotsmith1465 exactly right!
Your channel is the only Appalachian stories i watch. None of the others can compete with your story telling. ❤
Thank you for that! I really appreciate it, I do my best to share authentic history and events. I spend countless hours researching and writing these stories, visiting actual locations of the events and then telling these stories the way my granny used to tell stories to me as a boy on her front porch.
Wow what a story ! Only you J.D can tell these mountain stories!!!
Thank you so much. I hope you have a blessed day and hope to see you Sunday morning on my other channel.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I will be there for sure!!
Counting to binge watch and living every minute of it!
Been binge watching your videos for the past couple of weeks. Initially i wanted to learn more about the history of Moonshine and stumbled upon your channel. Was never aware of the rich history of the Appalachian region until i found you. It has been a real treat learning about it. Much love from the South Coast of Australia.
Thanks so much and really glad to have you here, greetings from the mountains of East Tennessee
Maybe He'll explain to you how George Washington got alll the moonshiners to move to East Tennessee.
@@craigb8228
That sounds compelling.
What an incredible story. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Jeff!
I was in harlan until I was 6. But this long before I born, I love hearing stories from southeast ky. Was raised
In Middlesboro. Love your channel ❤
Heart wrenching 😢 awesome story. My goodness you are awesome story teller.
Thank you so much!
I have lived in Kentucky since age 11. I love Kentucky and the surrounding states. The stories abound in these hills. I've recently finally begun my 1st novel. It will be set in Kentucky.
Wendall Berry, Silas House, Charles Frazier, Danial Woodrell, Lee Smith, Barbara Kingsolver, Bobbie Ann Mason, and many others.
Thanks to all the storytellers, in print and video....
best wishes with your novel!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller thank ya!
Also, my Pappaw was named JD Phillips. They called him squirrel because he worked for the road superintendent and hung off the back of the truck while doing his job. He was from New River Tennessee
thanks for sharing this
I love mysterious true stories and anything to do with Appalachia. This is the best of both worlds!
Thank you 😊
Great, twisted story, and very well told.....many thanks.
Thank you so much, my friend. Hope you’re having a great week.
You, sir, have a great talent! Thank you, and please keep doing this!
Thank you so much!
J D, you sure can spin a yarn my friend, as I always say, there's always a jar of fine clean shine with your name on it in New Zealand pal.
I’m gonna pick it up one day, you’ll see
Came across your channel, I ended up watching for hours. You found your calling. Telling those stories, you have a perfect voice for it. You really entice to keep watching. I will continue to watch!
You tell the story in such a way that it’s hard to guess the ending and I love that!!! I enjoy your stories so much! 😊
Thank you for this comment! I learned storytelling from my granny who was in her 80s when I was a young boy back in the 1970s. She was a master storyteller and I do my best to tell them the same way
Good story as always thank you and keep them coming God bless you all
Thank you!
It was definitely a two-fold murder mystery that was interesting. Who knows what really took place that day in the hills...one of those mysteries that will never be solved from the past...if it happened today, the ending might be different with at least the WHO IS IT answered. Thanks, JD, for my Saturday thriller❤
Thank you 😊
The body never been identified? If the body was buried then the bones would be in the casket and a DNA test could be conducted. It reads like the body was not old - a decomposing arm. Not bone alone.
I guess they DON'T talk about it anymore. However, with the present day telling of this murder and on RUclips, I would hope that someone would propose to exhume the body and DNA identify. No person deserves to be so brutally murdered, perhaps, raped and buried in an unknown grave. Especially, today when identification is not as it used to be. Only knowing what's stated in the video, you could have easily have opened a can of worms - it pisses me off that after knowing this, nobody thought of DNA.
Prayers for this young victim and her identity found 🌹✝️🌹
What about the ring the father gave the girl ? and the brown shoes. On that dead body, I can't believe they didn't demand more answers from the people who were involved
@@tonyturner7655 Dabney was used to working in the coal mines that were numerous in this section of Kentucky and Tennessee. It was not long before he found work in a mine near Coxton. He soon established a reputation as a quiet man with a good disposition, though somewhat taciturn. He had no police record and as far as anyone knew he had never been in trouble with the authorities of Tennessee or Kentucky.
Soon after he went to work Roxy Baker, a sixteen-yearold Coxton girl, disappeared. The community was mystified and somewhat excited. Just before the Grand Jury met to investigate the disappearance three Coxton men disappeared. No one could account for their whereabouts. The Grand Jury, however, did not involve them in the Baker case and no indictment was returned.
About the first of July, Dabney gave up his job in the mines, bought an old Ford, and began running a taxi in and about Caxton. He had been driving this taxi but a month when the community was again aroused to a high pitch of excitement. Three women disappeared. Two of them were married, and nothing was ever heard of them again. The third was Mary Vickery, the fourteen-year-old daughter of E. C. Vickery. The Grand Jury met once more and this time there were two definite suspects - William Middleton and Condy Dabney - who were reported to have been seen taking Mary for automobile rides.
I love hearing stories from this era I love the fashion of the 1920's especially the evening gowns 😊
im obsessed with fashion of the 1920s
Wow ! JD. What a mystery.
This story was like a good book that makes you want to skip to the ending to solve the mystery . A mystery that never got solved but left us with the question, who was the dead girl . Many thanks. Have a blessed Saturday.
Thank you Nonnie ❤️ have a blessed Saturday. Hope to see you Sunday morning on my other channel.
Wow! I watch your channel every time you post. I found you when Donnie Laws mentioned you. I watch everything from Appalachia that I run across. Ms. Tipper talks about you too. I'm an Eastern Kentucky boy that's getting on up there in years and I really appreciate clean wholesome entertainment. You be right up at the head of the pack and I thank you for your videos.

Thank you so much! Yup, 20 year teacher here
Dang... anyone who is capable of falsely accusing someone of something this vile is capable of anything...IMHO wicked indeed!
Great story, very well told 😎👍
Thank you Kathy ❤️
My cousin was a rake of a man but not a cold blooded murderer. There was a plan for brothers (one running for Sheriff) to goad my cousin into an altercation. One would shoot my cousin while he was engaged in the altercation. My cousins son heard about the plan from a boy that had rode to this outside Champaign cookout with the two brothers. My cousin was already there sitting on an atv at the edge of the yard talking with others that were there to enjoy the night of drinking and drugs. He had plans to leave if those guys showed up. Which they did but his son told him what they said and my cousin had enough of their threats. He went around the trailer to the back yard where he saw the one that was out for him and hauled off and punched him in the face knocking the brother that was running for sheriff down and said leave me the F alone. My cousin turned to walk away and got shot in the back of the neck just missing his carotid artery. At that my cousin turned and shot the guy he had just knocked to the ground. The bullet hit the downed man in the shoulder and ricocheted around until it severed his carotid artery. While he lay dying more shots were ringing out at my cousin. He returned fire. Turns out that the guy on the ground did not shoot after getting knocked down. It was his brother that was standing near a tree talking to a woman that was doing all the shooting. Anyway in the trial it was brought out how the two men sat my cousin up and how he had been stalked by them for weeks. Forensic testing proved my cousin was several feet from his victim when he shot him. However people that were not even in the back yard testified that he sat on the man and shot him in the chest at close range. Like the barrel 4 inches from his chest. They asked them are you sure about that and one woman said well it might have been about this far 4 inches where she previously said about 2 inches. There was 2 women that actually made up what happened and was willing to send my cousin to the electric chair because they thought they could. You can’t depend on people do tell the truth if your life depends on it.

Amen, well said! Hope to see you tomorrow on The Appalachia Channel for my Sunday morning story
Dr Philips, sir, the full quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned". It comes from the 1697 play The Mourning Bride by William Congreve, and is spoken by the character Zara. [From No Sweat Shakespeare].

@TheAppalachianStoryteller Thank you so much! You have a great Saturday as well 😉
Wow, what a story❤
The ring and the dress. How'd that end up on the dead girl? I absolutely loved this story. Thank you.
Thank you!
Exactly. Didn't that seem odd to anyone? Didn't they compare notes on missing persons in the area? Can't the body be exhumed and submitted for DNA testing? Does the headstone still have the name of the girl who wasn't the victim? I don't think I'd be comfortable with a headstone bearing my name that wasn't me.
Had he never cheated this wouldn't have happened, moral of the story... be faithful and you're most likely to live happier.
can't argue with that
Ay
That's the truth right there! Or at least be honest when things should lead to cheating.
Did not expect that ending. Real good one.gb❤
Thank you!
Did you notice Mr Dabney passed away on his birthday? Cemeteries and stories like this have always fascinated me. I get from my grandmother. The stories my grandparents would tell us about family gone before us always fascinated me and now 1 of my daughters has the fascination as well ❤❤😊
So cool you noticed that! I actually didnt notice it when I was at his grave, I only saw it later during the production of this video.
I just love your storytelling! I only just found your channel 🎉
Welcome to the channel. I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
I think the young girl had a male friend help her dig a body up from a grave somewhere and redress the body in her dress and put the ring on her finger, knowing that by the time anyone found the body it would be too badly decomposed to recognize. And she ran off to Williamsburg with him. Which would explain how Dabney seen her in another car with a man.
And Marie, just happened to be in that area, but once police questioned her she concocted the story to get even with Dabney for her hurt feelings.
Interesting
good deduction, except ,if you went to all that trouble to erase your existence, then why use your real name to get a hotel room.
Great narration. You are a great story teller.
Thank you so much!
First time watching and I’m already a Hugh fan can’t wait to see more
welcome aboard!
The body in the mine , had on Mary's clothes , shoes , and ring . They never questioned Mary about how that happened ?
they might have, but anything she would have said, would have needed to be independently verified as she was a professional liar. (After all, she had that man falsely convicted for murder and rape, solely on her evidence alone). Anything she said would be totally suspect.
Hey JD, JD Rice from Harriman here, great work, have your book and not only reads but looks great on coffee table.
Thanks so much Joe! I really appreciate that!
My mother was born in Laurel County Kentucky in 1918 she told me and my brothers how dangerous it was to go to Harlan County. She said her father would take a pistol with him when he had to go there.
@Etron49
That was 66 years ago. I agree that crime has gone up in the U.S. There must be a reason it was so dangerous that may years ago. Something illegal was going on like making moonshine or ???
@@jannoyloe7179Harlan county was a known hotspot for bootlegging. If I remember correctly it was the #1 exporter of moonshine in the state. The county borders the state of Virginia and is not too far from Tennessee.
My family is from Estill county KY and were bootleggers during the prohibition, so I find the history facinating.
Wow, what a story with surprising twists and turns. I wouldnt be surprised if Marie was involved in the death of the unknown girl. A piece of advice fro Marie: when the parole board asks what you are going to do when you get out, dont tell them that you're going to get a gun and shoot someone. Thanks JD. Great story.
Great advice Michael
