This is our 100th video here on JTL and we couldn’t be more excited! This case takes us back to our roots in Canada and specifically to where I grew up, Hamilton Ontario. Thank you to everyone that has been supporting us these past couple years and helped us get to this point. I don’t ask often but I thought It would be fun to see if we can get over 10,000 likes on this video. And while you’re at it why not comment and share…heck even watch the thing a few times too 🙂 Thanks again all, and I really hope you enjoy Kevin
Happy Anniversary Kevin! I don’t normally leave a comment, but I’ve been with you since just after your second video. The last time I commented on a video was the first video I watched of yours. Cheer’s my friend! We shall talk again after another 100!💜💜
Congratulations on #100 buddy. It wasn't long ago when I said "100K would be here soon" and now look. It's so cool to see this success for your channel. You have absolutely brilliant content.
And he mustered the strength to let the neighbor and first responders know who the murderer was. This guy died a horrible death, but stayed alive long enough to bring this awful coward to justice.
911 training is silly. They gather info but have no social skills or situational awareness. Kidnapped victims calling when they somehow have access to a phone, 911 always performs terribly. A fire is a good example as well. Just send someone lol. After lady says 6 blah blah drive. 911 says whats the other address ? Most people don't know other addresses. Anytime someone sounds as if they don't know the area or location, 911 guarantee to just keep asking for your address over and over. There's other to information to obtain , but they just say address, address. If they don't know, they don't know. I never understand. They can easily track cell location and address lock from that. i imagine the GPS and address are auto connected for emergency services to be sure. Maybe they don't though. They really seem daft often times
oh my Lord, opening your door to see your neighbor burned beyond recognition. how horrific. What an awful awful thing for her and her poor neighbor, Al. Incomprehensible. The pride and the love of $. Now his parents are dead, he will spend the rest of his life in prison and his children will know their dad killed their grandparents. SMH.
It's crazy! Folk will go out of their way to do the most, for a dollar (it doesn't matter how extreme their idea is). Only to claim that they're sorry, after the fact!.
@@marketwizard1977 It's not impossible. Canada is a rehabilitation country. Life almost never means life. Between programs and good time, he could be out in 20-25yrs.
I'm a doctor who works in the ED. When I first saw the footage of him limping with the cane I knew it was an act. He leaned on the cane with each left stride, suggesting a left sided injury. But the small abrasion which he kept rubbing during the interview was on his right knee.
LOL. I am not a doctor, but spotted that right off. My son used to fake injuries to get out of work, but used to forget what side he was injured on. (He is a good adult now-no murdering).
Hey @rahssell I’d like to talk to you more and this might be out of line a bit. but, being succinct, I am in recovery from drugs for 17 months this now. I was a heroin addict for 7 years. but, everything turned to first fentanyl, then, cut with mostly xylazine. Do you ever see this in your ER where you are? I was dealing and using in Philly and Kensington- the largest open air drug market in the US. I am still recovering from some effects from this awful animal tranquilizer and many many doctors here even ; DONT know of it. Let alone if they know of fentanyl STILL. I applaud and send many good vibes your way for all the great help you give people , and, just wanted to ask . If you happen to have the time to reply. Thanks 🙏
So he killed his mum and step dad because he wracked up debts with his fast food addiction? That is bad enough, but the way he did it, was absolutely brutal and cowardly. How could he burn his mum alive in bed? What a monster he is.
Right..? Such a tragic story!! And even more so that Al KNEW that it was him! To die such a horrific death and knowing it was by the hand of your kid 😓
Love the format of these so much. No drama or endless interviews to extract opinions of people who want to be on camera which makes other documentaries so long and boring. These show just the facts. How refreshing. Bravo!
@@NoBootyBeautyExactly!! You're limping around with a cane at the police station and the funeral, but you can't even remember WHAT knee is injured?! 🤨🧐 That right there sealed your guilt and the fact that you had nothing wrong with either of your legs!
How could a child turn out to be that bad? It must be a miracle that all 4 of my adult chidlren turned out okay given how much we all have gone through. Strange how when being born into a children at risk situation some children learn fast how to live in it successfully so long as they have only one consistent postive care giver offering them frequent enough positive regard.
This channel is SO UNDERRATED, i could listen to Kevin telling stories all day long and never get bored, it is always a perfect mix of footage, pictures and Kevin. Thanks Kevin for ALL your hard work and dedication ❤❤❤
I'm guessing the cops knew immediately he was lying when he claimed to have such a bad knee injury that he couldn't drive, couldn't walk, couldn't sleep in the same bed as his wife, and then described carrying a sleeping child up the stairs as his alibi.
How unbelievably heinous to kill your parents, in one of the most horrifying ways, for literally fast food... I'm not saying there is ever a reason, but this, it just doesn't get any lower.
I do not usually comment, I just enjoy your videos. I just wanted to thank you for what you do. All the hard work you put into research, all the time you spend putting it all together. Canada is watching and we appreciate you!!!
I’ll never understand people who are able to murder in general, but particularly a family member, and for the stupidest reason in the world: money. 🙄 RIP Al and Carla. 🙏🏻💔
I agree. I'm curious if Rich's wife worked outside the home. It was a klusterfuk & she couldn't even be bothered with removing tanks from clothes and laundering them before the kids wear them. Feels like she was kind of checked out. Maybe depressed.
I consider myself a terrible and selfish person, but even I cannot come close to fathom doing this. The mom and stepdad seem like cool folks too. I am glad the chocolate labs were safe but I know they miss their parents. He should have been able to support his Tim Horton addiction without needing to murder his parents like that.
Im Canadian, and ive never heard of this case......its shocking that someone could do this to their own mother, because they enjoyed Timmies too much. Shocking and depraved.
I encounter many Canadian tourists here in Las Vegas. I've noticed that Canadians seem to be shockingly unaware of crimes and crime stats of their own country. And seem grossly obsessed with "how bad crime is in the U.S." It didn't take long for me to think media in 🇨🇦 and gov't is to blame. Keep you guys blissfully unaware. Seems the same happens for us in U.S. with whatever agenda the gov't wants to shove down our throats. For us, it's politics, not crimes.
This man's poor children lost a set of grandparents, & their father, & their home. Thank goodness their mother has some sense. She's a strong, smart woman, so I believe she'll do the best she can for them.
@@dryhumorfoe8275 I'm all for not shitting on the victims but his wife has me rubbing my temples. 1st, how do you not notice your finances are in absolute ruin, 2nd, how do you not tidy up at least and keep your place clean (teaching your kiddos responsibility) and 3rd, why are you not cooking health(ish) meals at home? I do not think it's only moms job but if hubs (dad) is not going to, someone should. I hope the kiddos are OK and are being well cared for.
@@9babyblu She may be an unwell person, eg: CFS or an autoimmune disease. We don’t know her story? In the unmentionable amount of details, remains the fact a ‘responsible adult’ doesn’t commit murder.
Kevin, I watch your channel for the captivating content, video footage and your soft spoken non AI voice. Thank you for bringing us such absorbing videos!
@@kenw2225 An accident..? Hardly.. the room had been doused with 3 gallons of petroleum to start this fire.. it was clear that the fire was started with the intent to kill this couple, while the other side of the house remained untouched and intact.
I don't know if I ever commented before but I must say you do a very good job at presenting. You get to the point and identify all the relevant information. Good job!
I just cannot fathom what amount of money, could make a son/daughter. Want to kill their parent 😢. It's truly heartbreaking that greed can cause someone to become so EVIL AND SELFISH!!! God bless the family that has to deal with such a truly heinous act of EVIL🙏❤. I PRAY that this family can somehow find some sort of peace😢💔🙏❤
That comment was priceless!! The investigator obviously trying to point out how idiotic it was to even insinuate something like that .. and then to have Richard say that it was 'possible' 🙄 ..outrageous!
He is a narcissistic selfish loser and hence the response and the appeal on his sentence! Your wife and children have left you. Siblings are gone too and you want to appeal for what?
The panic he must've felt when he learned that not only had his stepfather survived, he spent his final waking moments tell anyone that would listen exactly who murdered him and his wife.
Hi Kevin. Do you think you could please do a video about my hometown murder case. I went to HS with guys that murdered multiple people in a robbery and weren't caught until years later. Browns Chicken massacre in Palatine Il. The shock in this community has never subsided from this massacre and the fact that it was people we knew from HS.
I watch a lot of crime videos, but the exceptional quality of your work stands out. This case was meaningful too because I lived in Dundas for a short time - a lovely community with good people. You captured the essence of this tragedy so well, thank you
Yeah, sorry that YT won't let me express myself and post my comment even after major cleanup, so I will just leave you with my last remarks... and, of course, my thank you for the upload was included in that, too. Also see your pinned comment, so a huge congrats on not only pumping out 100 videos for us so far, but making all of these videos top-notch quality and never cutting corners. Your and Cathy's time and diligent research and using actual photos, video, interrogation, and/or trial footage never goes unnoticed and is always appreciated!! Here's to more to come 🍻🍻
Omg, what did he think he could achieve with that puppet show he was performing at the authorities..?!! His acting skills were extremely laughable. Yeah I honestly can't comprehend how pathetic this guy truly was, and probably still is..!!!
I was in a bad house fire nearly three years ago, also in my bedroom, when I woke up literally alight. I was given midazolam by the paramedics before I was airlifted to hospital with third degree burns to 25% of my body, and spent four months on a burn ward. I was interviewed later at the hospital by the police, but due to the amnesiac effects of the midazolam sedative, which stops new memories from forming, I don’t have any clear recollection of what happened from a few moments after I woke up on fire, to some time probably two or three days later. I’m not sure of what I said to the police officer; correction: I do have a vague memory of thinking that I was on a swing in a nondescript park, swinging backwards and forwards, as a policeman with no face asked me questions! This might’ve been a dream, or I was completely off my head on the medication! But my point is, I certainly wouldn’t trust anything I said whilst I was still under the influence of the drugs I’d been administered. (Eventually it was proven that the fire had started due to an electrical fault.) However, in Alan’s case his statement at the scene should, I think, be believed. It was given before he received any treatment from the paramedics that could’ve clouded the validity of his declaration. With the amount of adrenaline in his system, I’m pretty sure he would’ve been hyper aware of what he had seen, and who was responsible.
@@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio I clearly explained why his recollection should be believed. He gave his account before he received any medical intervention, unclouded by drugs. My "scenario", as you put it, was relevant to show how his version of what happened was most likely true, as when you are questioned *after* paramedics start working on you, the drugs they administer can have a very profound effect upon what you remember, if anything at all in the case of the routine drug given for burn victims being Midazolam. I’m sorry you couldn’t put that together, unless you’re just being a troll.
Hope you are doing better. I am a nurse and have only visited a burn center. A friend was in a horrific gas station fire. The pain and suffering from this kind of injury is indescribable along with the ongoing and aftercare. Thank you for explaining your situation so that others might have a better understanding of an injury of this magnitude.
Congrats on your 100th video! I just discovered your channel yesterday and I'm hooked. I'm well into true crime vids on RUclips and found this to be totally my vibe! Calm voice, nice cadence, good storytelling and seems to be well researched. Also, no sensationalizing. Bravo!
Great video Kevin! Btw, a huge red flag that I immediately noticed in his first police interview is that he walks with his cane on the wrong side!! As someone who has undergone many orthopaedic surgeries, I know that you use your cane on the opposite side of your injury. It’s basic physics to help keep your balance. This guy used his cane on the right side, the same as his “injury “. He’s not only dispicable, but also stupid.
You are absolutely correct! I've used a cane for two different knee injuries and although I wanted to use it on the same side as the injury, the therapist told to use it on the opposite side for balance. Rich is a terrible actor. Lol!
Agreed. I am a RN and also have rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was only 7 years old…so I have lived practically my entire life with joint pain, some deformities from the JRA and have had an plate and 8 screws placed into my right heel and have undergone several spinal surgeries. In my 18 year long RN career I’ve also of course cared for patients with all sorts of joint disease, injuries and mobility issues. Rich was so obviously faking that it would be almost laughable if he weren’t so despicable. 😡
I don’t live too far from where this happened and never heard this case before. You didn’t a great job of covering it with much respect to the victims. What kind of monster is capable of doing this? We need tougher laws in this country.
I follow quite a few True Crime channels, and I want to congratulate you on your excellent explanation & delivery of the story, no matter how grotesque, disturbing or outrageous the crime, you break down the narrative & it’s always interesting. So please don’t allow an AI voice to takeover your videos. Xx
Kevin, you are my absolute favourite. I particularly enjoyed todays episode since it happened not to far from me. Thank you for highlighting this tragic tale.
Just unthinkable to do that to anyone because you’re too lazy to run your own life. His mother and step father died horribly yet this guy still only worries about himself. And the poor neighbour also
Congratulations Kevin, Cathy, and kitties🎉🎉🎉!! Your subscriber numbers, and number of videos speaks volumes of all the hard work you all do....and from myself, my kitties, and crew thanks!
Thank you for another well done presentation. I wonder what the murderer disposed of in the ditch? I imagine the police also searched the ditch but came up with nothing, but it would be interesting to know for sure.
@alisong2328 thank goodness he is such an idiotic narcissist and surveillance exposed him. Walking without the cane all of a sudden?? Lying about the debt?? F'in dumb.
Subscriber and fan!! You do a wonderful job of presenting the information in a neutral and non-dramatic way... Which I very much appreciate!👍🏽🤗💯 Thank you for what you do in putting these great videos together---even though the stories are very sad as to the wickedness of some humans beings against others.😢 Thank you nonetheless and i hope you'll continue producing these top notch videos!!😊💛😊
I just found your channel, and as an avid true crime addict (🤷🏻♀️) I have to say your video presentations/narrations are the best I’ve come across!! Straightforward and very thorough! Keep up the great work and thank you for such interesting content. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for your excellent coverage as always, Kevin. What an utterly tragic case. I'm in the UK but my cousin has only recently moved from Oakville after living there for many years.
I enjoy your videos so much, Kevin! I get excited each time I see a new one introduced I cannot wait to listen to it!! Thank you so much for your great work, and your thorough Investigative and factual storylines. Great job, sir.😊
Oh my! Rich Taylor has to be one of the worst liars I've ever heard. If he couldn't do any better than his sorry excuses, he should have just thrown himself on the mercy of the courts.
Hi Kevin, I am somewhat a new sub who loves listening to your narrative of these tragic crimes. With that said, your voice could easily become the next famous voice like Peter Thomas had whom voice we all miss.

Happy Anniversary Kevin! I don’t normally leave a comment, but I’ve been with you since just after your second video. The last time I commented on a video was the first video I watched of yours. Cheer’s my friend! We shall talk again after another 100!💜💜

Congratulations Kevin. I love your videos. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Congrats!
for some reason, I could have sworn you said you're from Scotland in another video but I always knew your accent is Canadian.
Man. He was burned over 90% of his body and still tried to go back in to rescue his wife and their dogs. That just hits so hard.
Agreed! Probably was the key to getting this pos convicted. The pos had a pretty good alibi. The pos didn't think about how badass his stepdad was.
Horrific.
I just cannot with monsters like that.

I feel like at that point it is pure love with a dash of adrenaline. Mostly the former.
And he mustered the strength to let the neighbor and first responders know who the murderer was. This guy died a horrible death, but stayed alive long enough to bring this awful coward to justice.
@@kaitlanparks8061My thoughts exactly!
This crime was horrific. And the fact that he held the door closed so they couldn't get out - truly evil!
I was surprised he wasn't afraid he might fall victim as well with sticking around. Fire spreads extremely quickly, as we all know.
It's not evil. It's called generational succession.

They read from a script in the uk so even when the person is deceased they have to ask “is the patient breathing” etc
Exactly! 😳
Exactly! It’s not rocket science here, when people are faced with traumatic situations their brains don’t operate properly! Like, use common sense…
Killing your mom and stepdad just to be able to go out to eat is INSANE !
Well, wasn't it the actual planned cruise that broke the camel's back?
Psychopath, plain and simple. If you don't have empathy or emotion, everything is easy.

How unbelievably heinous to kill your parents, in one of the most horrifying ways, for literally fast food... I'm not saying there is ever a reason, but this, it just doesn't get any lower.
And it seems to just support his fast food and restaurant habits. Bizarre.
I blame the fast food industry for making addictive foods.
Liberal logic spot on.
I've heard of the 'Twinkie Defense', but now we have the 'Timmies Defense'
It does get lower tho
To burn dead is truly an horrific way to die. This is pure evil to do this to someone.😢😮
I always thought smoke inhalation killed a person first.

I do not think it's only moms job but if hubs (dad) is not going to, someone should. I hope the kiddos are OK and are being well cared for.
@@9babyblu She may be an unwell person, eg: CFS or an autoimmune disease. We don’t know her story? In the unmentionable amount of details, remains the fact a ‘responsible adult’ doesn’t commit murder.
As a dispatcher, if you ever sound annoyed or unsympathetic, you should be reassigned. How is this so commonplace
Made me so upset
We need to advocate for a comple overhaul of emergency responder services. These people are incompetent and infuriating.
These dispatchers are mostly the dregs! The kind of folks that don't make it in fast food service 😮
they really be sounding like they don’t care at all 😔
Thank you!!!

Love from nairobi kenya.Kevin, you are a great narrator.

Kevin, I watch your channel for the captivating content, video footage and your soft spoken non AI voice.
Thank you for bringing us such absorbing videos!
As a Hamilton native, I really appreciate you covering this case. Such a senseless and horrific crime.
This just seems like an accident. Not a crime . Sometimes accidents
Good old Hammer 🇨🇦
@@kenw2225 What are you referring to? And please don't tell me the actual video of what happened here.
@@kenw2225
An accident..?
Hardly.. the room had been doused with 3 gallons of petroleum to start this fire.. it was clear that the fire was started with the intent to kill this couple, while the other side of the house remained untouched and intact.
@kenw2225
No, definitely not an accident!!
I don't know if I ever commented before but I must say you do a very good job at presenting. You get to the point and identify all the relevant information. Good job!
Thank you for all you do Kevin. Great research, writing and narration.
Thanks Robin 🙂
I just cannot fathom what amount of money, could make a son/daughter. Want to kill their parent 😢. It's truly heartbreaking that greed can cause someone to become so EVIL AND SELFISH!!! God bless the family that has to deal with such a truly heinous act of EVIL🙏❤. I PRAY that this family can somehow find some sort of peace😢💔🙏❤
Well, after watching so many true crime vids, it’s clear that the answer is: not a lot of money.
The investigator says sarcastically:"Al killed your mom, and accidently killed himself, and then
blames you?"
Rich:"I'm saying its a possibiliy.".
Yeah, Al was willing to go through all of that just to frame his stepson... makes total sense 👎👎
That comment was priceless!! The investigator obviously trying to point out how idiotic it was to even insinuate something like that .. and then to have Richard say that it was 'possible' 🙄
..outrageous!
He is a narcissistic selfish loser and hence the response and the appeal on his sentence! Your wife and children have left you. Siblings are gone too and you want to appeal for what?
The panic he must've felt when he learned that not only had his stepfather survived, he spent his final waking moments tell anyone that would listen exactly who murdered him and his wife.
No need to wait to hit like button I do that before I start to watch, keep em coming!
Same here.
Yep me too!! 🙋🏽♀️
Yep
Same, I already know it’s gone be good lol
Same!
Congrats on your 100th‼️ I really appreciate your work. Thank you so much‼️‼️
I love that you cover cases I've never heard of.
A six min response time after calling 911 is pretty amazing.
Wow! I have seen other crime scenarios where an adult child kills their parents. SHOCKING. Good video, Kev. love, maureen
I love the calm professional demeanor you have in telling these stories. Thank you Kevin!
Hi Kevin. Do you think you could please do a video about my hometown murder case. I went to HS with guys that murdered multiple people in a robbery and weren't caught until years later. Browns Chicken massacre in Palatine Il. The shock in this community has never subsided from this massacre and the fact that it was people we knew from HS.
Or a case of Byron Smith Little Falls MN, it would be interesting to take a look at that case 10 years later
What scum.
Another great presentation! You, Kevin, are in a class of your own. Much appreciated from South Africa 🇿🇦 😊
You are an amazing storyteller. Thank you for your wonderful work!
Thank you very much!
Your description is incredibly articulate! Bless your beautiful heart!❤
I watch a lot of crime videos, but the exceptional quality of your work stands out. This case was meaningful too because I lived in Dundas for a short time - a lovely community with good people. You captured the essence of this tragedy so well, thank you
I love how you explain these shows it’s so detailed
He is going to be miserable in prison without those take outs
And his cane...
@@sanetterobertson6085 🤣
He can always uber. I mean it's not like he's paying rent or anything
😂😂😂 what a ridiculous criminal for food? It must be to die for an out of this world taste,wow.😮🤔
I'm not trying to be funny WOW even in starving African countries ppl don't kill for food.
You have the best formula for these type of stories, so thank you, I enjoy the way you do them.
Hey Kevin, the Sundays are better with all your good work!
Congratulation to the 100th video on your channel!
Yeah, sorry that YT won't let me express myself and post my comment even after major cleanup, so I will just leave you with my last remarks... and, of course, my thank you for the upload was included in that, too.
Also see your pinned comment, so a huge congrats on not only pumping out 100 videos for us so far, but making all of these videos top-notch quality and never cutting corners. Your and Cathy's time and diligent research and using actual photos, video, interrogation, and/or trial footage never goes unnoticed and is always appreciated!! Here's to more to come 🍻🍻
Omg, what did he think he could achieve with that puppet show he was performing at the authorities..?!! His acting skills were extremely laughable. Yeah I honestly can't comprehend how pathetic this guy truly was, and probably still is..!!!
Thanks Kevin for another true crime story. I look forward to hearing your videos every week.
Great presentation of this crime Kevin ,fantastic as always. 😊
I was in a bad house fire nearly three years ago, also in my bedroom, when I woke up literally alight. I was given midazolam by the paramedics before I was airlifted to hospital with third degree burns to 25% of my body, and spent four months on a burn ward. I was interviewed later at the hospital by the police, but due to the amnesiac effects of the midazolam sedative, which stops new memories from forming, I don’t have any clear recollection of what happened from a few moments after I woke up on fire, to some time probably two or three days later.
I’m not sure of what I said to the police officer; correction: I do have a vague memory of thinking that I was on a swing in a nondescript park, swinging backwards and forwards, as a policeman with no face asked me questions! This might’ve been a dream, or I was completely off my head on the medication! But my point is, I certainly wouldn’t trust anything I said whilst I was still under the influence of the drugs I’d been administered. (Eventually it was proven that the fire had started due to an electrical fault.) However, in Alan’s case his statement at the scene should, I think, be believed. It was given before he received any treatment from the paramedics that could’ve clouded the validity of his declaration. With the amount of adrenaline in his system, I’m pretty sure he would’ve been hyper aware of what he had seen, and who was responsible.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you have recovered from your trauma.
So why go into a scenario that is not applicable in this case❓🤔
@@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio I clearly explained why his recollection should be believed. He gave his account before he received any medical intervention, unclouded by drugs. My "scenario", as you put it, was relevant to show how his version of what happened was most likely true, as when you are questioned *after* paramedics start working on you, the drugs they administer can have a very profound effect upon what you remember, if anything at all in the case of the routine drug given for burn victims being Midazolam. I’m sorry you couldn’t put that together, unless you’re just being a troll.
Hope you are doing better. I am a nurse and have only visited a burn center. A friend was in a horrific gas station fire. The pain and suffering from this kind of injury is indescribable along with the ongoing and aftercare. Thank you for explaining your situation so that others might have a better understanding of an injury of this magnitude.
Love your channel , Kevin . Congratulations 🎉 on 100 episodes . 💜
Congrats on your 100th video!
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I'm hooked. I'm well into true crime vids on RUclips and found this to be totally my vibe! Calm voice, nice cadence, good storytelling and seems to be well researched.
Also, no sensationalizing.
Bravo!
Great video Kevin! Btw, a huge red flag that I immediately noticed in his first police interview is that he walks with his cane on the wrong side!! As someone who has undergone many orthopaedic surgeries, I know that you use your cane on the opposite side of your injury. It’s basic physics to help keep your balance. This guy used his cane on the right side, the same as his “injury “. He’s not only dispicable, but also stupid.
Good catch! I hadn’t noticed that
They get that wrong in movies as well 🤣. Anyway, Hi from Ontario. Love your videos and always look forward to them. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
You are absolutely correct! I've used a cane for two different knee injuries and although I wanted to use it on the same side as the injury, the therapist told to use it on the opposite side for balance. Rich is a terrible actor. Lol!
Just had hip surgery, first thing I noticed. Came looking to the comments for this exactly.
Agreed. I am a RN and also have rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was only 7 years old…so I have lived practically my entire life with joint pain, some deformities from the JRA and have had an plate and 8 screws placed into my right heel and have undergone several spinal surgeries. In my 18 year long RN career I’ve also of course cared for patients with all sorts of joint disease, injuries and mobility issues.
Rich was so obviously faking that it would be almost laughable if he weren’t so despicable. 😡
I don’t live too far from where this happened and never heard this case before. You didn’t a great job of covering it with much respect to the victims.
What kind of monster is capable of doing this? We need tougher laws in this country.
*did
I live here in Hamilton and didnt hear of it either till now, whats up with that eh? like they buried this news story.
@@loveforeignaccents life* as in get one.
Please Everyone Give a like 👍 for all the work Kevin puts into these Great videos ! 😊
Rich is such a dummy. I can't believe how often he went without the cane literally right after committing the crime.
Big dummy 😅😅😅 bold as all hell
Hello from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Avid fan.❤
Hi I am from Trinidad and Tobago!🇹🇹
I follow quite a few True Crime channels, and I want to congratulate you on your excellent explanation & delivery of the story, no matter how grotesque, disturbing or outrageous the crime, you break down the narrative & it’s always interesting. So please don’t allow an AI voice to takeover your videos. Xx
They were lovely people and that guy was a vile monster
Kevin, you are my absolute favourite. I particularly enjoyed todays episode since it happened not to far from me. Thank you for highlighting this tragic tale.
Another great video Kevin, love listening to you tell me a story.
Kevin, you should be commended for the way you present your shows. It is thorough and concise and always very interesting.
Just unthinkable to do that to anyone because you’re too lazy to run your own life. His mother and step father died horribly yet this guy still only worries about himself. And the poor neighbour also
Thanks!
Congratulations Kevin, Cathy, and kitties🎉🎉🎉!! Your subscriber numbers, and number of videos speaks volumes of all the hard work you all do....and from myself, my kitties, and crew thanks!
Who is Cathy?
@@azazello1784 Cathy is Kevin's wife/partner, and I believe part of the JTL team.
You are the first YT video I watch on Sundays!! Oh boy, I say, when I see your post.
"Oh boy, I say"... 😂😂
Are you from Fargo?
@@loveforeignaccents haha. nope. California born and raised.
@@GigiRulesTheRoost Geez, stay safe out there with all of that crazy weather!!!
@@loveforeignaccents Oh thanks. That is nice of you to say.
Thank you Kevin for the excellent video & explanation of this shocking story. Alan & Carla Rutherford died a terrible death. 🌹🌹
Thank you for another well done presentation. I wonder what the murderer disposed of in the ditch? I imagine the police also searched the ditch but came up with nothing, but it would be interesting to know for sure.
I've never heard of this case and I'm appalled at the criminal audacity of that pathetic excuse for a man.
It's horrific. And the fact that he held the door closed so they couldn't get out - truly evil!
@alisong2328 thank goodness he is such an idiotic narcissist and surveillance exposed him. Walking without the cane all of a sudden?? Lying about the debt?? F'in dumb.
Very articulated narration of the facts. Good job.
Subscriber and fan!! You do a wonderful job of presenting the information in a neutral and non-dramatic way... Which I very much appreciate!👍🏽🤗💯 Thank you for what you do in putting these great videos together---even though the stories are very sad as to the wickedness of some humans beings against others.😢 Thank you nonetheless and i hope you'll continue producing these top notch videos!!😊💛😊
I truly like the way that you present and narrated the story. You have a calm and soothing voice.
Love your channel ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
Love my timmies. I'm so glad they have a few in Houston, Texas.
Congrats on the 100th episode! 🎉
Just discovered you. You are so gentle with your voice. No drama or cussing. Just the facts.
Without you mentioning it you gave it away to fellow Canadians by calling Tim Horton's by it's nickname "Timmy's" 😉
You're the best in this genre!
Judge ought to have sentenced him to a 'Double-Double' life sentence.
No he isn't Mike from that chapter is KING
@@LincolnJamesHeathrowIII I like TC but I find he makes too many silly jokes and doesn't take into account the seriousness of the stories.
I just found your channel, and as an avid true crime addict (🤷🏻♀️) I have to say your video presentations/narrations are the best I’ve come across!! Straightforward and very thorough! Keep up the great work and thank you for such interesting content.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks, as always, Kev! Happy Sunday buddy, and keep up the great work!
You and Annie Elise are the top 2 doing this right now. Thank you
I remember this case. All this for money.😡 Thanks for doing this video from my country 🇨🇦 and province.
I’m actually from Hamilton myself so was definitely an interesting one for me too 🇨🇦
@JustThoughtLounge awesome! Only a 30 min drive for me.
Thank you for your excellent coverage as always, Kevin. What an utterly tragic case.
I'm in the UK but my cousin has only recently moved from Oakville after living there for many years.
I want to thank you for all your hard work on your channel.
I enjoy your videos so much, Kevin! I get excited each time I see a new one introduced I cannot wait to listen to it!! Thank you so much for your great work, and your thorough Investigative and factual storylines. Great job, sir.😊
Once again an excellent video! you always manage to find stories we never heard of and particularly interesting. Thanks a lot
Oh my! Rich Taylor has to be one of the worst liars I've ever heard. If he couldn't do any better than his sorry excuses, he should have just thrown himself on the mercy of the courts.
I’m just trying my luck with this and it is so frustrating that you
Ready for my Friday night true crime binge ….. love this channel 🤓 hello from Australia 👋
His knee is not even swollen.
It doesn't have to be though.
Man you make the best videos, you’re doing great. I enjoy listening
Appreciate it 🙂
Hi Kevin,
I am somewhat a new sub who loves listening to your narrative of these tragic crimes.
With that said, your voice could easily become the next famous voice like Peter Thomas had whom voice we all miss.
Love this channel and your way to tell those horrible cases. I dont comment often but am always here.Thank you!
Appreciate you being here…and sprinkling in a comment from time to time 🙂
@@JustThoughtLounge I'll make sure to do it more often!
Another dead eye'd monster, wow i wish i had a step father like Alan, horrific and evil. Well narrated and reseached Kevin.
Rip Alan and Carla
Thanks!
Thanks Keke!
