Janet Mwangi I know, I had no idea how much I missed his voice until I heard it again!! He was perfect for this show, he didn't know it but he was a huge part of my childhood, sneaking and watching this after my mum told me to stop 😁
It's unfortunate Jeremy and Heather were so trusting of a complete stranger. Nowadays people would think you were crazy meeting someone like that. But it was a different time and that in no way makes them deserving of what happened to them. An all around sad case involving nice people.
Never trust anyone these days I was saddened when heather died of her injuries and john survived tom johnson needs to be apprehended and rott in prison very sad case
This story always freaked me out, I think he thought that he killed them both. He could very well be alive, and I’d be very interested in his background and behavior since the crime.
Jeremy and Heather's family later created the "Heather Uffelman Memorial Scholarship" in her honor. Tragically, Jeremy was killed on March 31, 1997, in a car accident in South Africa; he was hit head-on by a driver who had apparently fallen asleep at the wheel. He was 27 years old. The identity of Heather's killer has never been revealed. However, public opinion has since suggested that a computer company owner from Nashville named Tom Steeples may have been the killer. Steeples had committed a double murder in a motel room in April of 1994 that was eerily similar to the attack on Heather and Jeremy. In that case, he lured a young couple, Rob and Kellie Phillips, to the motel with the promise of a record deal, and beat them to death as well. Steeples also murdered Ronald Bingham, a business partner and Nashville bar owner, in October of 1993. Along with that, he also beat and sexually assaulted a young woman several years prior. It has been noted that Steeples closely resembles the composite of Johnson and matches his physical description. Also, the car Johnson was driving had Tennessee plates; Steeples was from Tennessee. However, Steeples died in prison of a drug overdose in July of 1994 without ever being officially connected to this case.
never forgot how cold hearted the nerd was killing a completely innocent and lovely woman. sad to hear jeremy passed too. Complete nonsesnse the whole thing. RIP gentle souls.
Exactly should have met him in a public place this crime might not would have happened let's hope this ruthless killer is Apprehended and rott in prison soon before he strikes again
The price was 31,000. Computers were expensive back then and they would only take a check probably because of the company's policy. Also, it would be dangerous to carry too much cash and it could be counterfeit. They wanted a genuine check
The Roxanne Jeeves case is one of the most disgusting and incomprehensible cases in Unsolved Mysteries history. That POS deserves everything he gets in this life and any other.
That street they were murdered on (Hollowman's Rd off Lawson/Cartwright) was rumored to be haunted too, paranormal activity at night, satanic cults, and an abandoned house. But its torn down now and a new developments are being built. They caught and convicted the murderer though (George Hicks) in 2014
I'm pretty sure that lady was his accomplice until she realized he was gonna harm them and she argued with him. Then, she tried to sabotage the scheme by ratting him out to the hotel. Shame they didn't take her seriously.
Should've gone to the police, not the front desk! And the front desk "doesn't want to get involved"? What kind of nonsense is that?! Call the cops and _they'll_ get involved!
Imagine being in the gas station and not trying to escape... wow...Never EVER listen to you kidnapper, try to run, scream, call for help or you are done!
Thumbs up every episode,i dont understand why some people give these great episodes thumbs down. THANKYOU SO MUCH DAVE.LOVE YA ; ] PS poor jeremy went through all that his girlfriend being killed,he was attacked and years later he died in a car crash so sad,theres no way i would give the computer without the money,but in this case it wouldnt of made a difference.
you ladies don't believe a man when they tell you they won't hurt you or someone you love as long as you cooperate. your best chance of survival is to fight or run and try to draw attention. if the man is going to kill you for that then he was probably going to kill you anyway. if he was not going to kill you, then he won't kill you for trying to escape. i hate these cases where women try to go along to save a life only to end up dead.
From the Tom Johnson case, I think we can all agree to NOT meet strangers or people we don't know well enough in hotel rooms. Too risky. If they refuse to meet you in public, forget about it. Not worth risking your life.
How did the "authorities" manage to let a sloppy murderer like that slip away? The guy bludgeons his victims to death unsuccessfully, leaving a witness who can easily identify him, and the evades capture for 28 years? Surreal.
Actually a little digging around shows there is evidence to suggest a perp. He committed a similar crime, looked like the composite sketch, had many priors, and was from Tennessee. However he died in 1994, so he was never officially connect to the crime. So if that is the guy, he hasn't evaded the law, he's probably dead in the dirt.
What UM left out of the Schultz story was Schultz had also seeked permission from the crime syndicate (aka the Commission) to bump off Dewey. But to his dismay, the majority were against it because they feared that it would bring unwanted attention. When Schultz vowed to ignore them, they decided they better take care of him before he could follow through with it.
So 'Tom Johnson' was never caught then. Got away with murder. Tragically, Jeremy was killed on March 31, 1997, in a car accident in South Africa; he was hit head-on by a driver who had apparently fallen asleep at the wheel. He was 27 years old. The identity of Heather's killer has never been revealed. However, public opinion has since suggested that a computer company owner from Nashville named Tom Steeples may have been the killer.

If Lauren Jackson is still alive today, she would be thirty-six-years-old; she has never been found. Missing since October 4, 1988. Christina O'Donnell passed away in 2011, leaving no further clues in her daughter's disappearance. Her father Mickey and siblings are still searching for her.
However, in his book "Nick The Greek: King of the Gamblers" by Cy Rice, legendary gambler Nick the Greek said that before his death, Dutch Schultz gave him a briefcase for safe-keeping. After Schultz's death, Nick the Greek opened the briefcase and found that it contained $5 million dollars in $1000 and $10000 bills (up until 1968, $1000 and $10000 were available to the general public and could be used at any store). According to Nick, he used this money to replenish his bankroll and gambled it away. It could be possible that Dutch had liquidated the treasure and gave it to Nick for safekeeping since he couldn't trust most of the men under him.
I was intrigued by your post, but have some questions that you might have the answer to. Why would Schultz trust a hard core gambler like Nick with his 5 million dollars? Where would Schultz launder all of those valuable items and get 5 million cash? I don't believe Nick because the individual on the program said that the liberty bonds were never cashed by anyone. I think that Nick was just trying to add a little spice so that he could sell more books.
I think that what confuses me so much about a murder of a mother and 5-year-old is how any human being can find it in their hearts to do something so heinous. How anybody can question the appropriateness of the death penalty is almost as confusing to me.
I think you need to reexamine your definition of a human being because people like these are not. They're animals ... monsters ... That guy is a real pos.

Thanks For Another Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back I Believe Lauren Jackson Was Kidnapped/Abducted Sad She Hasn't Been Found After All These Years But Sadly Her Mother Passed Away Without Knowing What Happened To Her Daughter Lauren I Hope One Day Her Case Is Solved Soon It's Sooo Sad
Unfortunately lauren jackson😭💙 or her remains has ever been located sadly her mother christina passed away in october 2011 without leaving further clues in her daughter's disappearance I really hope after all these years have passed someone comes forward with Information leading to the location and possible Wheabouts of lauren if she's alive lauren would now be 35 years old truly a mysterious and sad😪 case indeed
The witness who saw Lauren being given to a couple in the parking lot likely has the wrong child. It seems more likely that it was visitation time for some child and the girl was going with the other parent and didn't want to go. Many kids scream "don't make me go" when it's visitation time. And if I saw that happen, there's no way I could be definite of which kid it was. Lots of kids have the same likeness. This woman just saw a poster and thought it was Lauren. I don't think it was Lauren's mom she saw but she was likely too involved by then and didn't want to be wrong so she just said yes. Witnesses at the apartment complex said the timing was impossible. And the ex? Of course he would say that. That's why the grand jury refused to take action. Unfortunately this encourages the police to look at the mom. Let's hope she's alive somewhere.
I feel the ex had something to do with it the way he has sweating and he called the baby girl "the child" & how he said the mother didn't want the responsibility; when he was fighting for custody. So, that part doesn't make sense. I feel he didn't want the responsibility and was fighting for custody out of spite to the mother..

@@refinedsugarthat couple he killed in Nashville were almost killed b4 by someone in Mexico who held the 1 captive and the other asked his mom in usa for several thousand dollars. This couple went to Mexico also for fame as a country singer. Years later this couple traveled from western USA to Nashville, again for fame as he wanted to sing, was a good singer too. This time Tom Steeples killed them both. I saw this on a TV true crime around 7 yrs ago.
Guys, if someone is holding you hostage and is forcing you to go to a remote location, they're trying to kill you. Your best bet is to fight them off in view of hundreds of witnesses than in the middle of nowhere which will make them difficult to find.
1) NEVER let em tske you to a secondary location, NEVER meet up with em in a secluded area. 2) ALWAYS stsy on swivel when dealing with STRANGERS and when doing business deals. 3) be strong,be fast,be trained,and keep a defense weapon tucked JUST in case. 4) EVEN if he has a blick,once he gets within melee range...take him👀😒
I don't know why, but some of the subtitles in this episode identify the narrator/host as "WILLIAM SHATNER." Obviously, that is incorrect. These are the program's subtitles, not RUclips's auto-generated subtitles. (It's possible the error exists in other episodes, but I haven't noticed it if it does.)
Yes! It does, the strange name of William Shatner appears in the first seasons too. Channel's Subtitles must be computer generated too, but not 100%supervised, as when you scan a text; mistakes are rare
Yeah...I think if you're going to do something as despicable as murdering a five year old child, the proximity to Christmas is probably not gonna be the type of consideration you're used to making.
The 1930's were thick with mobsters. Back then powerful mobsters were often able to out perform law enforcement. Fast cars and Tommy guns were pretty much unstoppable back then.
"his sentence for the murders of ... will not begin until at least 2024, when he completes his existing terms"... i bet they thought of 2024 as a very distant time back then, most likely unaware there would be people binge watching the old Unsolved Mysteries online
In trying to find tom Johnson i wonder if they ever went through the phone records. I imagine the killer wouldn't call from his own house but maybe someplace else helpful
Mike G Storage. The classified ads says 4GB hard drive. A standard Q950 shipped with a _230MB_ hard drive. At the time, 4GB would have been a big drive array, perhaps 8x500MB or 4x1GB. But it would not have come cheap... But it would have been necessary for video. And a 24“ display was _enormous_ back then. In a nutshell, people have quickly forgotten how expensive computers used to be, especially ones capable of multimedia production.
Mike G It sure is! After inflation, that’s $55K today! The crazy thing is that that $30K system would have been cheaper than whatever dedicated hardware it replaced. But what’s way, way crazier is that if you’d invested that $30K in Apple stock in August 1992, it’d be worth over $8.5 million today! 🤯
Nothing drives home the importance of being a regular, run-of-the-mill, decent human being in today's society more than watching the low-lifes, pervs and assholes on the UM tv series. Made almost 30 yrs ago still just as relevant.
And Damn they really was selling a Computer for 30 thousand dollars?? Was computers that much in the Early 90s ??? they should of known it was go be a set-up!! But Rip to the girl that lost her life.
These were obviously not your run-of-the mill computer system. It was a sophisticated video editing system at a time when PC's were still running MS-DOS. I'm not sure Windows 3.1 even existed yet (which was just a GUI running on top of MS-DOS.)
If you’re buying or selling, and your buyer or purchaser gives you the textbook name John Johnson, Tom Johnson, John Smith, Tom Smith, run for the hills. Those are likely aliases. But if you must proceed, meet in a MORE publicly trafficked place, like a grocery store parking lot. A big name grocery store, like Publix, Walmart, Kroger, etc. Not something like IGA, that’s usually in one of those one traffic light towns that have like 3 people in the parking lot on a good day. Of course the best meeting place is the police dept. If they don’t agree, don’t sell/buy. It’s not worth your life. RIP Jeremy & Heather.
Roxann & Kristopher Jeeves murder is one of the most cold-blooded and horrible cases. But the puritanical, unnecessary fucking war on weed pisses me off. If it was legal, her scumbag brother wouldn't have even been dealing with those lowlifes in the first place!
There's no way I would transfer any merchandise to the customer's car until I get a check in my hand. Jeremy didn't find it odd that Tom would suggest transferring the computer? It would not have saved that much time to do so.
Yeah I feel bad for the grandmother and Roxanne and Christopher but I cannot feel bad for Kurt he put them in danger which is greed and drug addiction but damn George Washington Hicks even more because he took his anger for Kurt out on Roxanne and Christopher and took their lives because he hated Kurt and for that he's a low-life scumbag coward and I hope he rots in hell I hope he dies in prison brutally
Its not so much that personal computers were rare, its just that at the time those were the best available and considered top of the line. Sure they are junk today but at the time they were the best available. Even in 1992 a lot of people had personal computers of some kind, they started to be present in most houses throughout the 80's with the invention of the Commodore 64 which was fairly affordable. Of course private access to the internet was still a year or two away then, it started in 1993 or so with America Online and exploded about 1995 on.
Those age progression photos are so useless, especially for missing children. I wonder if any missing child in history has actually been recognised by one.
Quite a number of times actually. Here's an article that talks about several cases where age progression photos helped missing children be recognized and rescued. abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/hundreds-missing-children-found-age-progression-images/story?id=8830185
@@1981lashlarue Thanks for the link and reply. I believe all of these examples overstate the importance of the age progression image. The highest probability for success is when the child is kidnapped young and is still young. Jayce Duggard was not recognised from her age progression photo, she had escaped. The other two cases involved parental/family abductions which are extremely common, which means the age progression has little importance when parents are already suspects and in both cases the child was still a child at the time they were found. The Aric Austin case which had the biggest age gap from being abducted to being found was because his own father was being investigated for the abduction. I'm talking about an instance where someone has witnessed a missing person solely from an age progression picture without any link that ties a suspect to the abduction.

Malach Campbell I posted this to Stephan on twitter once and he was like “ yep that was me “
Watching from Guyana 🇬🇾.We made it to 2021
4:01 "The criminal element was in its element." Ouch! Really dopey line.
What I want to see after all these years of watching unsolved mysteries is the bloopers 😂
this show was top notch
I feel so sad...Lauren Jackson's case never was resolved 😢
Very sad indeed, it's like she vanished from the face of the earth. Real shame there's no update on this one. 😔
@@jonathanturbide2232 yassss it's a sad case lauren Jackson has never been found I hope her case is finally solved someday sadly her mother christina passed away in 2011 without leaving further clues in her daughter's disappearance if she's alive Lauren would now be 35 years old
Lauren be my age now so sad about this case
i know; she'd be my age too
I commented on another thread that Lauren's Dad has my vote as the prime suspect. SMH!! (See other comment).

Those 80's glassessssss
Damn I grew up in Marietta, GA at the time of this case. I never knew about this.
Why would you give the guy the computer before he paid for it? They made a huge mistake doing that.
Because they trusted him - translation: they were gullible and naive.
They were naive but still doesn't make him killing them any better
Thanks For Another Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back I Believe Lauren Jackson Was Kidnapped/Abducted Sad She Hasn't Been Found After All These Years But Sadly Her Mother Passed Away Without Knowing What Happened To Her Daughter Lauren I Hope One Day Her Case Is Solved Soon It's Sooo Sad
Unfortunately lauren jackson😭💙 or her remains has ever been located sadly her mother christina passed away in october 2011 without leaving further clues in her daughter's disappearance I really hope after all these years have passed someone comes forward with Information leading to the location and possible Wheabouts of lauren if she's alive lauren would now be 35 years old truly a mysterious and sad😪 case indeed
Binge watchin !!!
🤷♀️🙏
Me too.
The witness who saw Lauren being given to a couple in the parking lot likely has the wrong child. It seems more likely that it was visitation time for some child and the girl was going with the other parent and didn't want to go. Many kids scream "don't make me go" when it's visitation time. And if I saw that happen, there's no way I could be definite of which kid it was. Lots of kids have the same likeness. This woman just saw a poster and thought it was Lauren. I don't think it was Lauren's mom she saw but she was likely too involved by then and didn't want to be wrong so she just said yes. Witnesses at the apartment complex said the timing was impossible. And the ex? Of course he would say that. That's why the grand jury refused to take action. Unfortunately this encourages the police to look at the mom. Let's hope she's alive somewhere.
I feel the ex had something to do with it the way he has sweating and he called the baby girl "the child" & how he said the mother didn't want the responsibility; when he was fighting for custody. So, that part doesn't make sense. I feel he didn't want the responsibility and was fighting for custody out of spite to the mother..
That little boy dragging that tool box down the stairs is bad ass.💯
💯
"Badass"? How so?
Do you even know the meaning of the word?
Who would shoot a 5 year old? What the fuck is wrong with this world??
30 grand for a mac, damn, prices have certainly come down since then . . . but then, iphones are expensive for what they are
i once tried to buy a used VCR from rent a center but they wouldn't come down below 600 dollars. if you bought it with weekly payments it was almost double.
@@bg81973 whaaaaa, wow, how times have changed, when dvd players were first out, they were around 1200-2 grand . . . now you can get a vcr, dvd player, set top box, wireless connection, USB ports all in one
iphones are reasonably priced for being top of the line smart phones. i still dont get though why everyone gets so defensive over android/iphones,
No phone are worth their price lol. iPhones def aren’t worth it at all considering they’re basically iPod touches with a phone in it lol. iPods aren’t worth their price either lol
@@virgie4715 right, the production cost of an iPhone is 10% of its actual price
Killing people with a hammer to steal a computer is truly sick. Hopefully he got a taste of his own medicine at some point.
The most likely suspect is now dead. He passed away in prison incarcerated on other charges.
@@refinedsugarthat couple he killed in Nashville were almost killed b4 by someone in Mexico who held the 1 captive and the other asked his mom in usa for several thousand dollars. This couple went to Mexico also for fame as a country singer. Years later this couple traveled from western USA to Nashville, again for fame as he wanted to sing, was a good singer too. This time Tom Steeples killed them both. I saw this on a TV true crime around 7 yrs ago.
There have been multiple major floodings of the Esopus Creek in phoenicia since this show. Good luck in the search!
How did he survive that hammer to the head ?! Good God!
Then he died a few years later from a car crash death was chasing him
Rest in peace to the lil boy
As a father I'm am drawn to this case. I cant believe how someone could do this to anyone let alone a little boy. RIP kristopher
Guys, if someone is holding you hostage and is forcing you to go to a remote location, they're trying to kill you. Your best bet is to fight them off in view of hundreds of witnesses than in the middle of nowhere which will make them difficult to find.
RIP Heather and the other victims. 🙏🏻
1) NEVER let em tske you to a secondary location, NEVER meet up with em in a secluded area.
2) ALWAYS stsy on swivel when dealing with STRANGERS and when doing business deals.
3) be strong,be fast,be trained,and keep a defense weapon tucked JUST in case.
4) EVEN if he has a blick,once he gets within melee range...take him👀😒
The little boy acted like everything was alright?? He's 5. He wouldn't know if something was wrong.
I don't know why, but some of the subtitles in this episode identify the narrator/host as "WILLIAM SHATNER." Obviously, that is incorrect. These are the program's subtitles, not RUclips's auto-generated subtitles.
(It's possible the error exists in other episodes, but I haven't noticed it if it does.)
Yes! It does, the strange name of William Shatner appears in the first seasons too. Channel's Subtitles must be computer generated too, but not 100%supervised, as when you scan a text; mistakes are rare
21:40 one of the few moments in the show where we see Robert Stack from the side lol
Very good observation
Actually, that is a good point.
Yeah...I think if you're going to do something as despicable as murdering a five year old child, the proximity to Christmas is probably not gonna be the type of consideration you're used to making.
yea like someone is gonna say "I think ill wait until dec 27th"
Yes, like the cases that happened on Halloween, there's a sad 'extra' cherry on top. I learned from them on Criminally listed
Can you imagine being Roxannes parents. Losing both children and a grandchild
And then Roxanne’s brother, Kurt, was killed a few years later.
@@veegee2526 heartbreaking
I don't know why the 1930s mob stories are interesting to me
If Dutch Schultz died at the hospital, then, the famous image of him laying over the table, was taken when he was Alive...?
The 1930's were thick with mobsters. Back then powerful mobsters were often able to out perform law enforcement. Fast cars and Tommy guns were pretty much unstoppable back then.
Me too.
@@maramarxx2431 probably right after he was shot .
@@renitalake3580 yes, that was the famous era of avid fast photographers. So impressing
Wow man,just wow. Unsolved Mysteries.
This episode is just too dark.. the whole computer murder scam is just pure evil... Honestly I can't watch it anymore.
The mother and son one is the worst
Lol what a pussy! I can’t stop watching this show they need to bring Unsolved Mysteries back!!
@@luieescobar3687 they have,but with no host or reenactments,
"his sentence for the murders of ... will not begin until at least 2024, when he completes his existing terms"... i bet they thought of 2024 as a very distant time back then, most likely unaware there would be people binge watching the old Unsolved Mysteries online
I remember that dallas case was recently featured on a show On I.D.
The blond officer got tears in his eyes describing how he found the bodies.
Lauren's Dad...Wow!! Now there's a suspect. Twitchy, sketchy, no emotions... casting blame..."I'd bet my life on it!"...Wow!
I know it was probably one of them that did it
He was making a weird face during the whole interview too.
@@JanetStarChild because he was reading a script💀
42:27 Reading that just after it turned 2024 is.... something.... Idk how to describe how I feel about that.
In trying to find tom Johnson i wonder if they ever went through the phone records. I imagine the killer wouldn't call from his own house but maybe someplace else helpful
Many many gangsters buried gold and valuables after the income tax was passed. Most have never been found
An apple macintosh quadra 950 only costed $7,200 brand new in 1992. What was the extra $17,000 for ?
Seems like a drug deal to me that went bad and the guy who survived made up a BS story to cover up for it.
Guessin thats for a base model the guy selling it was a video editor or something so it was probably tricked out
Mike G Storage. The classified ads says 4GB hard drive. A standard Q950 shipped with a _230MB_ hard drive. At the time, 4GB would have been a big drive array, perhaps 8x500MB or 4x1GB. But it would not have come cheap... But it would have been necessary for video. And a 24“ display was _enormous_ back then.
In a nutshell, people have quickly forgotten how expensive computers used to be, especially ones capable of multimedia production.
@@tookitogo maybe you're right, but damn that's a lot of money today. Take it easy
Mike G It sure is! After inflation, that’s $55K today!
The crazy thing is that that $30K system would have been cheaper than whatever dedicated hardware it replaced.
But what’s way, way crazier is that if you’d invested that $30K in Apple stock in August 1992, it’d be worth over $8.5 million today! 🤯
Why did he hit Heather so much more brutally than Jeremy?
Cos she responded in pain and he may have enjoyed it
Nothing drives home the importance of being a regular, run-of-the-mill, decent human being in today's society more than watching the low-lifes, pervs and assholes on the UM tv series. Made almost 30 yrs ago still just as relevant.
He should NEVER be paroled, he unalived a beautiful young mother and her precious little baby...keep him locked up.😒
And Damn they really was selling a Computer for 30 thousand dollars?? Was computers that much in the Early 90s ??? they should of known it was go be a set-up!! But Rip to the girl that lost her life.
That was a pretty sophisticated setup. The display alone (24 inches) would be ostentatious.
These were obviously not your run-of-the mill computer system. It was a sophisticated video editing system at a time when PC's were still running MS-DOS. I'm not sure Windows 3.1 even existed yet (which was just a GUI running on top of MS-DOS.)
The introductory price of that PC without the extras was $7200 in 1992 or $13,000 today. That was still an absolute pile back then.
Yeah blame-the-victim Hardbody some real name you got there idiot
@@RobertJamesChinneryH STFU!
Lauren's mother gave her away so the father couldn't get custody of her.
I like him and Keith Morrison back when he was on Dateline.😊
Never go without your strap to a 31,000 dollar motel deal

Yeah but how do you get the drop on someone if they pull first?
25:46 Nice to see Napoleon Dynamite all grown up.
If you’re buying or selling, and your buyer or purchaser gives you the textbook name John Johnson, Tom Johnson, John Smith, Tom Smith, run for the hills. Those are likely aliases. But if you must proceed, meet in a MORE publicly trafficked place, like a grocery store parking lot. A big name grocery store, like Publix, Walmart, Kroger, etc. Not something like IGA, that’s usually in one of those one traffic light towns that have like 3 people in the parking lot on a good day.
Of course the best meeting place is the police dept. If they don’t agree, don’t sell/buy. It’s not worth your life. RIP Jeremy & Heather.
Roxann & Kristopher Jeeves murder is one of the most cold-blooded and horrible cases. But the puritanical, unnecessary fucking war on weed pisses me off. If it was legal, her scumbag brother wouldn't have even been dealing with those lowlifes in the first place!
Then: “Beware of the Classifieds” Now: “Beware of Craig’s List”
There's no way I would transfer any merchandise to the customer's car until I get a check in my hand. Jeremy didn't find it odd that Tom would suggest transferring the computer? It would not have saved that much time to do so.
Same here! I wouldn't give my merch to anyone who didn't give me the money first or even travel hours away to sell a computer.
Legs Daimond, Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, Dutch Schulz,.....and......Joseph P. Kennedy. All got into bootlegging during Prohibition.
Yes, and they were allowed to build real fortunes
@@maramarxx2431 Oh, so they were all handsomely rewarded for their services.
What a tragedy that a mother had to lose two children and a grandchild : Roxanne and her son Kristopher, and Kurt.
Yeah I feel bad for the grandmother and Roxanne and Christopher but I cannot feel bad for Kurt he put them in danger which is greed and drug addiction but damn George Washington Hicks even more because he took his anger for Kurt out on Roxanne and Christopher and took their lives because he hated Kurt and for that he's a low-life scumbag coward and I hope he rots in hell I hope he dies in prison brutally
Thankyou!!
I tend to think the Schultz treasure was nothing more than a tall tale.
Little Lauren's story is just plain sad. 😢
Lmaooooo those shitty computers were so overpriced, but I understand the time period and how owning a personal computer was still pretty rare.
Its not so much that personal computers were rare, its just that at the time those were the best available and considered top of the line. Sure they are junk today but at the time they were the best available. Even in 1992 a lot of people had personal computers of some kind, they started to be present in most houses throughout the 80's with the invention of the Commodore 64 which was fairly affordable. Of course private access to the internet was still a year or two away then, it started in 1993 or so with America Online and exploded about 1995 on.
Vast majority of kidnappings involve one of the parents
Those age progression photos are so useless, especially for missing children. I wonder if any missing child in history has actually been recognised by one.
Quite a number of times actually. Here's an article that talks about several cases where age progression photos helped missing children be recognized and rescued. abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/hundreds-missing-children-found-age-progression-images/story?id=8830185
@@1981lashlarue Thanks for the link and reply. I believe all of these examples overstate the importance of the age progression image. The highest probability for success is when the child is kidnapped young and is still young. Jayce Duggard was not recognised from her age progression photo, she had escaped. The other two cases involved parental/family abductions which are extremely common, which means the age progression has little importance when parents are already suspects and in both cases the child was still a child at the time they were found. The Aric Austin case which had the biggest age gap from being abducted to being found was because his own father was being investigated for the abduction. I'm talking about an instance where someone has witnessed a missing person solely from an age progression picture without any link that ties a suspect to the abduction.
