Wow, you hear a blood curdling scream and cant be bothered to call 911? What a terrible person.
I cannot believe the person who killed her is catching less grief than the person who failed to call 911! To the very end, David avoids responsibility for his crime.
My thoughts exactly!
They would have called only if she had screamed without wearing her mask.
Hilarious
@@brandyyolidio4213 …She’s just as guilty as the murderer, because she could have stopped it, but she chose to be complacent instead.
For someone to hear another person screaming for help, in distress, and do NOTHING is obscene and a cowards way. Lives can be saved if people only react. We were camping once and heard a couple arguing. Next we heard her screaming for help. We called 911 and the police were there within 3 minutes. He was stabbing and choking her. She lived and I hope, got away from that psychopath that called himself her husband.
You say that but the VAST majority of people would do the same - people are generally cowards and will act in self preservation if it means ignoring a possibly violent situation
Totally agree!! I cannot believe the neighbor did nothing!
I agree...she is an idiot!!! You can remain anonymous. Years ago I called 911 when a neighbor above me was beating his girlfriend. No way I could ignore her screams and crying!😢😢
Nah. People suck.
@@WideAwakeHuman not true, it's a choice to do nothing just as it is a choice to be the one to do something. Make a vow to yourself right now to always be the one to act. I did.
As a survivor of domestic abuse, the one time I dared to scream as I was pulled by my hair to the top of the stairs,was the last physical abuse that monster did. Only because I screamed,and a neighbour heard me. And the neighbour acted. Don’t ignore real screaming..we instinctively know a scream of fear and pain. Could have been a different outcome…..neighbour.
40 this June... And a 2x domestic violence survivor. I screamed out for help in the apts I lived in with the human monster... Someone heard me and called the cops... I think about them and am grateful for them everyday. NEVER HESITATE TO CALL THE POLICE IF YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE'S LIFE IS IN DANGER! YOU MIGHT SAVE A LIFE!!
I hope you both are doing well so glad your both safe
Pray you both got well in your mind and away from monster's. One thing I try to tell anyone that is trying to leave is NEVER let them know you are leaving and if possible where you have gone.
Gretchen was my teacher in NJ before she moved to FL. Middle school. I was devastated to see her photo and story on RUclips last yr. I remember when I was in middle school, she had just gotten her first teaching job. She also was a student teacher for me as well before hand. She was a beautiful, fun but respected teacher among her students. I wish this man, I won't even say his name, never gets out. It says he will be in his 80s, but her daughter will never see her mom. Prayers to her family. I can't say enough about Mrs. Crane (her Maiden name, bc it is NOT Anthony).
Curious why she didn’t change it back after the divorce
@NFS305 just saw this... I'm not sure. She was Gretchen Crane and then O'Keefe when married another teacher in our school. They did end up getting divorced so she possibly had already done the whole process once to change her name back to her Maiden name, Crane. Plus I am thinking that bc she has a daughter, she kept it for purposes of having the same last name as her~
I was thinking she looked familiar. I'm from NJ, this wasn't from the north jersey area was it?
I’m just really failing to understand how someone can say they clearly heard a “blood curdling scream” and “a woman screaming help help help me” and just go on about their day. May Gretchen be at peace in her final resting place.
That baffles my mind and sends chills up my spine. She even told the press as if it was no big deal. Zero remorse for her inactions. And zero empathy. Cold.
@@goodmorningsundaymorning4533 this is in America isn't everyone like that
Why not call the police at the very least? Makes no sense
Kinda scary. Stay strapped. Teach your wife. Teach your children.
The fact she was ok showing her face on TV while admitting she heard but did nothing! 😐 sickening itself
I had a neighbor one time around 1 am screaming. At the time l didn’t know it was her. I called the police to report because l didn’t see anyone but l could hear the screams. Eventually, the Police came. I stepped outside and by that time l could see it was her. She was having some sort of reaction to some medicine. She did get some help. The next day her Dad was so appreciative because it could had gone wrong for her if l hadn’t called for help. We are all here to help one another.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today? I hope this year brings happiness, peace and love all over the world 🌎 I’m originally from Canada 🇨🇦 grow up in Fort Worth Texas, currently living in Key West Florida. Where are you from 😊😊if i may ask?😊

She's from Yura Liar.
@@georgewagner7787 because nothing ever happens...
Was a
Several years ago, my fiancé and I were on a walk around 8pm. I heard a woman screaming (terrified) as well as a child crying. There was a man also in the house yelling at the woman. I called the police and directed them to the house as it was around the block but I saw the window was open with the light on. I hope the mom and child are safe today but felt I did the right thing and would hope someone would call the police to help me if I was ever in a situation like that.
I cannot understand people not picking up a phone and calling the police. How utterly selfish
This is my friend. She was the lifeguard at our high rise apartment in the early '90's, and she babysit our daughter (who is now 26 years old) when she was attending classes. What a beautiful girl she was and the world is less of a place with Gretchen gone 😥
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏🏻😢❤
So sorry for your friend…..What a beautiful person.
Sorry for your loss 😢
That’s crazy
So very sorry. We must do better for everyone.
How can you literally hear someone being brutally murdered and not call the police or do anything. That’s criminal in itself
I hope that person can’t sleep at night
Bystander Effect, it’s the worst
It depends on where you live. You could be labeled a snitch if you live in a bad neighborhood. You call the police and the police will come to YOUR door in sight of the criminals for details. The court papers then name you as a witness with your private information revealed. The police will offer you no protection and the criminals know this. A lot of criminals believe that dead people tell no tales. We need better policing period!
Maybe she thought someone else would call the police, or she feared reprimand from a killer, or being afraid to overreact. Better always call to check if everyone is ok. Not sure she’s a cold blooded bystander.
No doubt. If you are an EMT and see a person passed out and don't help, you get in trouble. WTH wrong with that lady!?
The HUGE amount of survivor's guilt I would have every single day for the rest of my life because I heard a woman scream in fear and pain AND STILL CHOSE NOT TO CALL 911 is enough to haunt me right now...dang...
That sorry neighbor. I hope she hears those screams in her dreams for the rest of her life. When you hear those kind of screams, you know someone is dying, and she just went about her day.
As soon as the husband/boyfriend is described as "charming," you know how these cases are going to turn out. So terribly sad. May Gretchen's family find peace.
I mean you're watching a crime doc lol
And how he is charming with that horse face…???
No
Specially the gym ones who are fascinated with their muscles😂
I do believe his covid story. I think that drove a lot of people crazy.
Texting “I am on a ventilator” while sick with COVID …..???
Someone did not do their home work to know what sick people on a ventilator CAN do.
"They wanted life in prison, but they wanted Gretchen more." Man, that's just so incredibly sad but understandable 😭
They should’ve beat it out of him🤬 she didn’t have that choice, why should he 🤯🤬 then he should’ve gotten the death penalty 🤬🤬
Don’t worry he won’t last 38 years
He v I also buried Gretchen's body in one of those places the cellphone ping just a thought ..
It's infuriating when someone hears the struggle and doesn't call the police. Unreal!!!😡 People that blatantly ignore obvious signs of distress should be held accountable in some way.
🌸 agreed, she blatantly ignored it
Agreed. Honestly charge them with obstruction of justice or hindering an investigation. Something! If you hear something or see something SAY something. I bet they had to blur her face bc knowing that she missed the chance to potentially save this woman’s life, she probably feels a lot of shame and guilt, as she should and I assume she doesn’t want to be known. Even if she had called and they weren’t able to save her, she could have known she did everything she could to help someone clearly in dire need of it. Very disappointing and I will just never understand why she wouldn’t have just called???
I really liked hearing that Kobe was adopted by a loving family. That was a really nice touch that we usually don't get to see! Thank you!
Agreed
Thank God.
He seems so sweet and calm during the chaos.
Colby
@Maryclaire pugh YES. I really couldn't beLIEVE how calm Kobe was during the incident at the mall(?) I was seriously thinking, "did this disgusting man DRUG his sweet dog?!"
Idk, but I have never seen a "calm" husky haha they are wild af!
Kobe is such a good boy. I'm so glad he has a better life now.
Exactly. Kobe was an innocent doggie.
how can someone be apprehensive of calling the police when they hear a woman scream, especially when they’re screaming “no”, “it hurts”, “stop it”???
*apprehensive about calling...
Because they live in the U.S. where most people are ignorant and selfish.
I call the cops and DNT care about what anyone says....I hear shootings going on and it was right up the street from me... yepppppp....you can hear it...I just stay low..most people don't know gun fire...or they are with tv or music on..
i was mad when i heard her said that 😢
@@FuelledByCoffeeAndBooks *I got mad when I heard her say that.
thank you. she could have saved a life. i don't get it.
Absolutely unbelievable that the neighbor that heard the blood curdling screams and hearing her fighting for her life didn't call the police. We as humans have to be more engaged than that. It might not have saved her life, but he probably would have been caught sooner.
Yeah just sad
Hope karma gets her!
Just CANNOT imagine hearing a scream and not calling 911.
The fact that the neighbor did not call the police after hearing the screams says alot about society
No, it says a lot about the privileged!!!! A poor neighbor would have called 9 times out of 10!!!
No it says a lot about her!!!
Actually says alot about that coward neighbor😡
There are a lot of people in Society who are not like that though!!
Correct.@@fudgesickle352
This question is for the neighbor….If you were concerned, why didn’t you call the cops?
Her neighbors failed her, BIG TIME….😞
How does the neighbor sleep at night after knowing she aided the murderer by not reporting screams to 911?
And did you notice in the video it's narrated that "she APPROACHED" the police?? I mean, why bother if you never bothered to call them.
They took photos but no call.
@@RaceMentally that’s the sick part.
Like it or not, some people are of the type to mind their own business regardless of the circumstances. Some don’t want to be involved, some don’t like police, and some second guess themselves.
Poor dog! I hope he found his forever home cause he deserved it, he was so well behaved for a husky. 💕💕
He did find a forever home
It is so sad her neighbor didn’t call the cops, after hearing someone screaming so loudly!! 🥺😢😳🤦🏻♀️
How could the neighbor hear the screams and NOT call the police?
Unbelievable!
I mean there are some places in the u.s.a. where calling the police can be an offense. So for example there's some cities where if police are called to the same address or by the same phone number a certain number of times within a year it's like a misdemeanor or something. And sometimes you don't have control or knowledge of how many times people who lived at the address that you live at called
The kicker is that what goes around, comes around.. Clearly, the witness was half asleep or scared to get involved, but that's NO Excuse!!-
Her stupidity 🙄 🤦 she could hv safe her life, if thr neighbor did..
She should be arrested
A moral civic duty, after hearing things she said she heard said. But had no problem.casually walking up to this cop n says what sounded like an obvious physical attack.
I'm curious how much of his background was she aware of before she married him and brought him into her home. The more I hear of these stories, the more I think people should pay for a full background check before inviting a stranger turned lover to move into their home.
Right. Sometimes even when nothing of urgent alarm is in those background records be careful. People are extremely cunning.
I’ve done background checks on all my exes 🙈 guys will think I’m crazy I’m like a a women with a child I need to know what’s going on before it gets anywhere
I don’t get who she loved more her daughter or him? Why get him in the same house with 9-10 yo girl? Some women just forget that not every man is what you see!
@@liliivanova2920I'm sure she loved her daughter. I'm thinking she just made an error in judgment that cost her life. Hopefully others will learn from this situation and be extra careful about moving a person into their home.
@@uscitizen1035 👍
Thank you for including the dog found a loving home.
I ran a rehab and Covid totally took
The wind out of me as the worst behavioral nightmare. Clients relapsing, dying like flies, suicide. Broke my heart ❤️
It was terrible.
My mother and two of her brothers died just weeks apart from it. Totally devastated my family.
@@Marlaina oh that's awful I'm so sorry. 😢 We lost my aunt. My husband was on ICU twice in 6 months, still not well its affected his lungs long term but to lose all those you loved, that's devastating.🫂
All part of there plan
@@JulieRushworth What do you mean, "all part of there plan"? Also, I think you mean "their", not "there".
God, please let me have enough care and concern for people that if I hear someone screaming I don’t rationalize a reason to not call the police, but get help.
We’ve been conditioned so long to just mind our business, that we miss opportunities to help people.
AMEN l agree 👍 and we would want someone too call for us treat people how we want to be treated thank you LORD Jesus Christ GOD AMEN l love you
@@CHELSEABuckhannon ur still rationalizing.. if u dont step in yourself right away they will be dead long before the cops show up..
Precisely! And abusers use that to their advantage. They tell victims that no one will hear them or if they do, no one will call the police and in fact the abusers brainwash their victims about calling police in general it becomes a “violation of loyalty” BS. Bottom line… let’s break this mindset of not sticking our nose in someone else’s business if it means it can potentially save a life!! 🙏🏼
Very complicated,....
@@krishnarao3768 not really.. its called still being human.. especially for a strong man or better yet ccw carrier..
Honestly the woman who admits she hears blood curdling screams should’ve never shared it. At that point it just makes you look like a complete arse to not call 911.
It's pretty common. Also why women are taught to yell fire not rape if they are being raped. More people are likely to check out a fire.
It’s a damn good thing she did share it. Hindsight is 20/20 & you can bet she is beating herself up about it.
@@shawnmurray9964 As she should be. She could have possibly saved this woman's life with barely any effort whatsoever. That's the type of thing you SHOULD beat yourself up over neglecting to do.
But I agree it is good she shared the info. Better late than never, I guess.
@@Thirtyfivepercentferal Truth! Sadly we live in a “mind your own business” society, especially in affluent areas. As mentioned, I’m certain she wishes she’d done so sooner. At least she eventually did so.
Yeah, it's pretty chilling... I wouldn't want to have that on MY conscience-
The puppy sitting like such a good boi in the car got me 😭😭😭
That pup is traumatized.
PLEASE call police even for the smallest screams! No one gets a second chance after they are dead.
I am so sorry for that woman, her child and her family and friends.
A few days ago, I heard a child screamed. This was not the first time, so I didn't hesitate to call the police. The boy is about 10 years old. His family members abuse him.
Since the police got involved, I have not heard anything.
That neighbour failed the victim in this case. Sometimes, when we hear screams, they are cries for help.
Something similar just happened in my town. A girl went missing for 10days. A neighbor had said she heard screaming from the apartment near here. She said she didn't want to bother to call because it's usually nothing. That girl was found on the side of the road inside a coffee table that had a hinged lid. Her coffee table that was missing from her apartment. I can't fathom why that neighbor didn't call. If called and it ended up being someone setting up surround sound and didn't feel guilty for calling.
@@meleshenko3767 🤗
@@meleshenko3767 Mel please don’t punish yourself. At the time you did what you thought was best.
Sometimes? Whenever there's a scream, it's always that someone needs help.
@@Livetoeat171 people screamed when they're excited too. I guess we just have to know the difference. Because I won't call the police for my neighbour who screams out her lungs when her husband is home.
Wow! The security cameras that she had installed showed clear as day who her killer was. May she rest peacefully.
Did you go to that website it said to see the camera footage?
🌟🙏🏻🌟
@@mariaamado1909yes it’s on the website. He looks right into the camera.
The only thing I had to hear was “she met him at a gym where he was a trainer” 🤦♀️. This went bad before it even started. Were there friends saying to her, “ you’re in danger girl…..run”? That would have been the first thing out of my mouth.
Agreed. Their shotgun Vegas wedding, doubt they knew each other much at all. It is a huge red flag already that he was ~43 and she was 51.
I was so upset with this neighbour saying what she had and did not call the police.
I can’t believe a person can hear a woman screaming and saying no and not call 911…seriously what are they thinking! What if it was her who needed help and everyone ignored her?
Just got to that part.🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely terrible… I don’t understand
I saved my neighbor when I heard her scrime for help
We’re they afraid of him?
@Camilla Hellberg I did the same, she was so grateful
I can tell you why. When he met her, he had nothing. She became a payday. It made him look successful. When she put him out, he moved to Mom's apartment. Big step down. You don't do that to a criminal. I've seen it before. And he had undeniable rage. 😢
Let's not forget how beautiful Puerto Rico is at that time of a year. 🙄 Sickos everywhere.
I’m uncomfortable with your remark “you don’t do that.” It sounds like this guy had a lot of people fooled. She did everything she could to protect herself. I left an abusive marriage after 14 years and my ex stalked me and I finally had to move to a big city in another State and rebuild my life when I was 40 years old. Statistics show the most dangerous time for a woman in a controlling and/or abusive marriage/relationship is the first 2 years AFTER she leaves.
@@factcheck5224 Be proud, you deserve all the best!!!!!!!
Exactly right, and he is a Jew
@@factcheck5224 I see nothing wrong with the remark "you don't do that to a criminal". It implies you don't do that, without consequences.
If a person hears a “blood -curdling “ scream and doesn’t call 911, there’s something wrong with them
Neighbors
“I’m not calling 911 but I will take pictures of the suspicious vehicle for the investigation” like whaaaat?!
Just like everyone else I’m in complete shock that the cowardly neighbor failed to act in that vital moment, she could’ve possibly saved Gretchen’s life. Shame on her. We are supposed to look out for one another, not turn a blind eye because it’s “none of our business”. Rest in peace Gretchen
Maybe you're new to True Crime, but that's sadly very common. In many cases, people don't call police when they hear or even see things. In many cases, if a woman escapes, or survives, & reaches the road to look for help, most cars will keep driving, though one person may call 911 as they continue driving. And its so common, that we tell women that if they are attacked, they shouldn't scream rape, they should scream fire, because that is a danger for everyone & makes people more likely to take action.
@@nicholasschoonbeck6866 not new to true crime at all lol it’s pretty much all I watch. I’m aware that people don’t act in moments like this, many don’t take the opportunity to call 911 in suspicious situations but this case in particular is special in my opinion. The neighbor GROSSLY missed an opportunity to save someone’s life and I believe most people would call 911 if they heard the things she heard.

In the NYC subway
I understand what you mean but the only coward I see is David Anthony, he is the one who did this, the neighbor failed to act, but it does not implicate them...Big difference between the two.
The way Anthony looked at the camera gave me goosebumps.
He knew he was caught
Supercreep.
Soooooo creepy 😮
Ice Cold!!!
I helped my wife get out of an abusive relationship with her first husband. She stayed until her kids were grown but the hell she lived with was atrocious. She feared for her life daily. We have a beautiful loving relationship. She's a wonderful woman and didn't deserve the hell she lived in.
She was seriously injured a few times.
I'm so sorry this woman couldn't escape this monster she was with.
I'm so sorry to hear so many women are treated this way.
I hope every woman in a violent relationship can find a way out.
I hope all people can get out of bad relationships. That’s equality.
MY MOST SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🙏🏻
This husband committed a horrific crime. A female that lives nearby, hears Gretchen screaming and yelling “stop, your hurting me” and choses to ignores this. Not only is this shocking, but it is deeply disturbing on so many levels.
Did the neighbor that failed to report the screaming know David Anthony? If yes, I wonder what her relationship with him is? Some states have a “ failure to report a crime” law. I hope the authorities look into this.
I don't understand how someone could ignore that. I couldn't live with myself!
My ex pushed me to the bed and said, "I'm going to make sure you never do that again!" and started pounding me. I had hit him in the back of the head with my wallet because he said something rude to me. Luckily, a neighbor called and police came fast. He was still hitting me. To this day, I don't know who called but I am so grateful! He was arrested and put in jail.
Bad men act as good men stand by and do nothing
@@Scrappicat thank God your life was saved. You never know how bad it could've gotten! Thanks for her calling for help!
It’s not shocking it’s called minding your business most women go back to their abuser anyway so what’s the point
This guy has to be one of the dumbest criminals I've ever seen, just as Gretchen's neighbor is one of the biggest cowards I've ever seen. What a cluster fvk of a tragedy. My heart goes out to the daughter.
I wouldn't credit criminals with being intelligent, especially the ones who get caught. I'm shocked he had a head start, was on the road for several days and had only gotten to Las Cruces. I've driven across country multiple times and if I had murdered someone, in those three days, I would have been in Mexico some time in the second day.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 Right??? I would've gotten rid of both phones ASAP and stolen a license plate while I was at it too. What a maroon!

Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart ❤
I think charges should be pressed on individuals that so willfully ignore somebody screaming for their life (in OBVIOUS DISTRESS) or for help and choose to do nothing and go on about their day. There should be consequences for this.
I do not hesitate to call in if something is suspicious. If we put consequences on unresponsiveness though, people will stop admitting they saw or heard anything when questioned. Imagine how difficult this could make it for investigators.
Her poor daughter. What a freaking monster. The neighbor that didn’t call the cops is infuriating. I hope she lives with that guilt.
The murderer is the atrocious one
yes, i hope she reads what everyone is saying and feel about her cowardness. Hope she becomes a better human being seeing she did wrong. Will see see that? I sure hope so. God help her..Amen
Those people don't have a conscience or feel guilt. It's just missing in them.
Lol Alexa isn’t programmed to call police when you ask her to but she can Google the ingredients to a fruit salad.
It has to be set during setting up the process like a phone I have 911 set as ICE incase of emergency and no one will know why I’m saying ICE 🤷🏼♀️
“Last night I heard a woman literally being murdered, and did nothing.”
That woman should be ashamed
she probably is...
For a daughter that's so close to her mother, why didn't she call the hospital directly when she got the first text saying she'd been taken to the ER?
Especially after she got the text she'd been incubated?
Can't believe the family let it go so long before calling the police.
Met him at a gym where he was a trainer, married in Vegas at an Elvis chapel. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
28:16 - His initial reaction wasn't that he never killed anyone. Upon learning his charge was for Homicide- he simply asked "for who?" I wish the Detective had followed up with "What do you mean? You killed more than one person?"
Exactly
I dentro think that is it
No, he was just playing innocent like he had no idea anything had happened to Gretchen. Not very convincing.
How this live ended was amazing...so much respect for you walking the talk.
It’s disturbing that he may eventually leave prison. Who else might be harmed if and when he is released.
"This case hit differently. We're talking about someone who is a mother, daughter, sister, friend..."
Yeah. No other missing person is any of those things.. Such a different case.. 🙄
Yeah I thought that too. Pretty moronic comment to make.
@@LRho I'm honestly surprised that wasn't cut in editing.
Yeah she's definitely overdramatic
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that and thought what a stupid comment of hers that was...
So she's basically saying she's only ever dealt with male victims (who could be fathers, sons, brothers, friends but not mothers, daughters or sisters), or only with female orphaned victims who've somehow lived in a bubble that they don't even have any friends. Either seems unlikely 🙄
I noticed that...but even the most clever people misspeak.
The way he asked. “For who?” Gave me chills. Every inch of my body knows this wasn’t his first time killing someone.
He was pretending to not know who was dead!
@@hensonlaura I understand that but he seams WAY TO COOL about all of it. I stand by the fact that I don’t believe it was his first time killing someone. Plus the random name change screams something is up with him.
Oh my wife? Never heard of her before.
Right as i was reading your comment that segment played. Talk about chills. Wow!!
Exactly what I thought , also him following the girls , I’d say this guy has a body count
I can't believe anyone who heard something like that could ignore it. A neighbour screamed once for help and several people called the police. Not sure why but apparently it wasn't appreciated by the woman 🤷♀️. Would still do it again though.
I’m no expert, but that seemed like a pitiful interrogation. I wonder what other investigators out there think?
I can't believe that sorry excuse for a neighbour, didn't call the police! She could've potentially saved that poor womans life😢
Like Justine Damond. She called cops to report a woman being assaulted and the cops shot her dead when they arrived. You have to be crazy to call the cops in the USA. They are brutal murders or they plant evidence on you.
Save lives, audit the vaccine. Make related death autopsies public information.
It would have cost that woman nothing to call 911.
And that her Alexa is hooked up to the internet but couldn’t call the police 🫠 So many things could have changed this outcome.
@Lynn Early Right. She could've remained anonymous and that poor woman's life could've possibly been saved.
To hear a urgent cry for help and not call for aid is unforgivable! It’s a phone call, you don’t need to be physically involved in what’s going on! Has the human race sank so low and so callous? I pray we haven’t!
RIP dear Lady!
Yes, yes it has..
Unfortunately
I’m afraid so
More disconnected and anti social than ever
I always call. There is once I saw a strange expression from a young lady with a man, and I called the police.I would rather to make a mistake than to let her go and something happens to her. I experienced similar situation when I was attacked on street by a random person, and no one offered help or call for me. It was extremely sad. Just call, everyone!. It’s better to make a mistake than letting someone get hurt or murdered , please
Is this woman real?! "I heard a terrible scream, as if somebody was being attacked". Then I take pictures for "proof". Would the victim have lived if she had called the police? unbelievable
I don't understand not calling 911 when you hear or see something. I once heard a commotion and in front of my house there was a mob of teens and lying on the ground was a kid being kicked in the head. I yelled, "I'm calling the cops!" hoping it would make them stop while I dialed 911. The cops came and broke it up. How can anyone ignore something potentially worse?
What a horrible neighbor!!!
She heard all this and didn't call the police unreal.
I agree it angers me so much. I hope karma gets her and nobody calls when she screams for help
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... It happens more often than you think where people rely on others to act... I bet she's traumatised by this now... It's a hard lesson to learn and live with...❤
Yeah what a coward
Hopefully she will scream for help one day. And no one will respond.
In most countries in Europe, the neighbor who heard the cries for help would be punished for not calling the police. What a terrible person this neighbour is! I hope she can't sleep well since she knows she didn't give Gretchen a chance to be saved.
I wouldn't want to live in a country that punishes you for not making a phone call. The fact is, if she lived in one of those countries she wouldn't have admitted to have heard something and not called, and the police wouldn't have had some vital information.
Name those countries. I don't believe you.
@@banyana6515 in Germany it is called unterlassene Hilfeleistung and it is a punishable offense
@@headkandywhore nonsense!
I have a feeling the person was of low iq. It's not an excuse, but some can be really self-centered and dupid.
That women that heard the loud screams should of called 911. What a horrible person not to help in that simple way. What a shame.
@maryj2671 her mother probably told her to mind her business and don't be nosy
Thank you, 48 Hours, for your great work! I am watching these videos, what people do, the police work, the court system and process, all these lawyers - and I am just shaking my head... Back in the day, before this social media madness, we used to have this thing called "common sense"... Yeah!..
The texts are a red flag immediately. Nobody with a high fever and severe covid symptoms can send text messages that articulate. As her family I would’ve started investigating immediately.
Especially a text that says “I’m on a ventilator now” 🤔
Exactly!! Patients on a vent arent responsive or stable enough to type text messages
Can you imagine a sibling or child texting you that? I'd IMMEDIATLEY call them!!! People are so weird.
I had a 103 for 13 days with Covid and was able to go chop wood for heat when the power companies decided to do rolling black outs.
@@rsplatt100 like RIGHT
I don’t care what anybody says but prosecutors making a deal with the defendants is a slap to the victims and to their family’s face.
Uh, 38 years isn't much of a "deal"...dude will be 81 if he ever gets out.
He still has a chance to get out..... Also if you count good behavior it could cut his time in half more or less. If he had life he wouldn't have a chance. Justice for family and victims is NO CHANCE
@@vanillaghetto Ever heard of parole? He won't be in there 38 years. Might catch covid you know.
Seriously -- the reason we lock people up (or execute them) is NOT just to make the family happy. It's to protect SOCIETY.
Somehow our 'justice' system has forgotten about law abiding citizens and the result is society suffers.
38 years is still a really long time and he is likely to die in prison, especially because of his mental state, I hate to say it.
@@joegroves4325 In America, 38 years doesn't mean 38 years, with good behavior they can be paroled sooner, even notorious convicts like Manson kept coming up for parole and all it takes is a favorable parole review (and the incentive to save money by getting him out of prison early) , and he's back on the streets.
She. got head over heels for his tall figure and immediate charm. But soon she discovered whose kind of man he was. Therefore, she filled for divorce. However, he had no money, no job, no opportunities. He wanted to be accepted back by his ex-wife. For support... her refusal costed her life.😮 He deserves to get rotten in jail😢
Shame on her neighbor to not call the police. It was the very least she could do after hearing someone literally being murdered. It likely wouldn't have saved her life, but it would have saved her family the trauma of believing she was alive.
Thank you for telling us what happened to Colby. He deserves a loving home.
Agreed, I think I'll be thinking about Colby for a while.
The whole time I was concerned about Colby.
That gave me peace that another family took the dog.
Omg I thought I was the only one worried about the dog lol! I’m glad he was adopted but at the same time it would of also been nice to see if he could of went back home w/ his mom instead. As long as he is happy & safe!
Matter fact, I think 48 hours should do an update special to show us how Colby is doing these days 🐶💙
Something else is also pure evil....standing by hearing someone screaming and saying "stop you're hurting me" and doing NOTHING to help. Not even calling 911. What a selfish heartless society!
Sad too that it was another woman who ignored her cries for help.
It makes me wonder how much screaming was happening in a regular basis from over there. If I hear a toxic couple screaming and fighting it’s none of my business. If I hear someone getting screamed at it is my problem.
The neighbor is not responsible in any way the guy would have vomit the crime anyways.
I find it remarkable that his own mother didn't relay this information of his pre covid lockup. A mother knows because a son dependent like this always shares his discontented life with their Moms
Thank you for a excellent video. Love your channel ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for letting us know what became of the dog... Usually such «details« get overlooked. The dog was another victim.
As was his unsuspecting Mother! I hope all those who suffer find some peace.
I can't believe they let him go so many times..
Deepest sympathy to the family!! Heartbreaking 😢
I’m so sorry Gretchen. You were so wise in leaving this man but he was really sick. May the Lord grant peace to your family.
His Mother KNEW!!! She knew about his name change. His past record. As a parent I am so angry and appalled at parents who protect their ADULT children!!!
Maybe I'm just different but minus raping children I'm with my kids no matter what.,I obviously wouldn't stand by while they do it but turn my back and/or turn them in?? just couldn't..idk if I'm wrong for that but ijs
Nonsense. You think he told her? Zero chance.
His mommy is still changing his diaper that's why she helped.
His Mom, may not have known about what happened to Gretchen, but she certainly knows the monster she raised.
Good job to the neighbor for hearing everything and not being nosy. Goes back to bed and remembers that night everyday 2-years later just to tell 48 Hours. Props to her, what an amazing neighbor. Just the type of person I need living next door to me.
Lol. I got the sarcasm there.
She should have called the police, no matter how nervous or apprehensive she was.
She should have called the police even if it just screaming but the fact that she heard you are hurting me is very disturbing but who knows she have her reasons
That interview WASN'T two yrs later. Wtf?? That was her talking to the police a few DAYS after. Pay attention!
🤣💯
@@funmiade575 may be she was a bad neighbor
This was negligence of a whole community. The screaming, the soapy water running out of a closed garage, the unknown truck. These were all noticed by neighbors, who even took the time to photograph the truck but not to report anything until way too late. Just goes to show you can live an affluent life in a flashy neighborhood, but good, conscientious neighbors can’t be bought.
That neighbor should have called the police especially if the screaming was so horrific-she was screaming for help!!!! Was it so difficult to call for help? Why didn’t you do something???? How selfish can you be? I would be ashamed to come on television to admit how callous of a human being I am.
The thing is his anger towards her was still there after he killed her. He let his rage out at the cops. That emotion doesn’t go away just because he killed his target. He’s a narcissist and his ego is still bruised.
She is dead so 😏more than her ego was hurt
We grew narcissists, with self ESTEEM, not self WORTH training
they're 2 different things
Spot on ! The key phrases and actions and elements are all there
I really like when they tell us what happened to pets involved in these stories. I’m always worried about their well-being too
It's not always a good outcome unfortunately. Sometimes they get adopted but even cases where the kids live or one kid I saw as an adult still wasn't sure what happened to his puppy once he was taken after his dad killed his mother. It's a famous crime and his channel is about surviving... Telling detectives his father killed her and his father is in jail still ga lighting him and he reads the letters in videos. He finally met someone who told him he got his dog all those years ago and he started bawling. It's another great video..
Wtf.
@@markdavidson9558 😂😂😂...like F them pets!!
@kyrae I know!
I'm always glad when they include what happened to the pets.
You’re worried about gross dog mutants 🤦🏻♂️
HOW does a woman hear another woman's blood curdling screams and NOT call 911!?
Whaaaaat???😮 She heard her screaming out loud and those words, yet didn't call police? 😢unbelievable.
The person messed up when they texted saying, I am on a ventilator! If she was in ICU, she would be unable to text that. Very sad, the evil going on out here. So much for her daughter to go through and the neighbor heard her cry for help and did nothing.
That is the same thing I wrote!
EXACTLY 🎉
After first looking into the research regarding the psychology of the Bystander Effect- *the inhibiting influence of the presence of others on a person's willingness to help someone in need* -I took a personal vow to ALWAYS be the one to act should I ever come into a situation where one thinks to themselves "should someone do something?"
I'm fairly young, but already I've had occasion to take that vow to task several times. I've called to report swerving, dangerous driving. A car upside down in some woods below the highway, a large tree branch hanging on a powerline, a sketchy looking dude running through backyards, a freshly fallen tree on the roadway, a dog off the side of the road alone and looking frightened. And finally, disturbing screams from a camp site. There's more than that, but what I can say is that 9/10 these situations are by and large relatively low stakes. But once you prime yourself to be the one that acts, should you ever find yourself in a high stakes situation you won't be shy to act.
🙌
Well said.
How can a human being hear a blood cuddling scream and not even call the police? Absolutely uncaring and disgusting.
Prayers 🙏
I'm fascinated with the interviews in these 48 hours mystery series. The people being interviewed already know the outcome of the case in most cases...they already know someone is dead, the perpetrator is imprisoned etc...yet the tenses they use and the sentence formations seem to indicate something ongoing like the outcome is yet to be determined. It keeps the mystery alive for the viewers. Very elaborate work writing these scripts or directing them to respond in a particular manner and even getting some of the victim's family members to be conscious of what they are saying and then editing these later. A lot of work indeed! Well done!
48 hours sucks
They just preface their questions with "at this point" and remind respondents to speak in the present tense. Not a huge amount of work.
That’s a really cool observation. I never considered that. You’re right.
Dateline uses similar scripting... Even though the outcome is known...the stories are presented as mysteries in present tense mostly...as they unfold
Very observant!!
@@reginaphilen9725so does 20/20. They all do. All these news magazine shows.
48hrs needs to come forth with these stories more often. I’m addicted…..😳😳
You can watch his full interrogation right here on RUclips if you are interested. I love watching
48hours as well.
The resident who heard 'terrifying' screaming and did absolutely nothing about it will have to deal with the judge and jury of public opinion and her own conscience, for the rest of her life. I just don't understand ignoring someone's cries for help. Even so, calling the police still might not have saved Gretchen Anthony, in time. However, it does not mean she shouldn't have tried to intervene and help someone who was clearly struggling for her life.
When the dude says she's screaming for Alexa. To call 911 he really plays with his hands a lot. you can see him re listening to it back in his mind. As he says that it looks like it's heart-wrenching to him, kinda sad.
As someone who lost their mother at a young age it’s such a horrible tragedy! She is going to hurt for the rest of her life. No mother to pick out a prom dress, help dress her for her wedding, see her grandchildren grow up! He also robbed the daughter of a life with her mother !! 😢
@@EllaBella-76 The dog was adopted from the shelter.
That is why I wish all women with children would think 10 times more before bringing another “dad” in the house! Specially with the big girls, actually with any children of yours. Your children being under strange person’s supervision? No, that is absolutely terrifying! “Bonus dad”, bonus sh…t nah.
No offense, but that’s a lot of assumptions you make about the future of the daughter and even the relationship of the mom and daughter. I know my mom didn’t help me pick out my prom dress - I had to pay for it myself. My niece didn’t even get a homecoming or prom because of “covid.” I also never got married, nor had kids. My mom and I have fought like cats and dogs forever, as did my brother and mother. Neither of us have had contact with her for years because of the stress and drama that comes when she was in our lives.
Just remember that when people get murdered, friends and family will say nothing but positive things about the victim. It’s very improper to any speak ill of them. We really don’t know what the future will be for the daughter, nor what her relationship with the mother was like or would have been like when the daughter got older.
My mom died when I was 13, I'm mourning her still at 56 y/o; it never goes away. Since no one took care of us after she died, our (my sister & I) our lives were ruined. No supervision, no guidance, tolerance not love. We weren't protected and were easy pickings for sexual predators.
When my husband beat me up I called my father and asked him to help me. His reply was, "sounds like a personal problem". My mother would have had a very different response.
So many times I missed my mother
@@hensonlaura That's so sad. I'm very sorry.
What a useless neighbor... How do you NOT call the cops?
When emotions are high it is difficult to control it.
