Everyone is pointing fingers at motives but damn imagine what the father felt coming home to that 😳 if that man didn't kill himself or die from depression that's a strong man.
It is the video the presentation and narration is perfect all round and gets straight to the point . great channel that should have a couple of mil sub's and more
I think what makes your channel so unique is that NONE of these stories are ever featured on Unsolved Mysteries or Disappeared or any of the big time shows but they’ll talk about UFO sightings smh I always wanted to grow up in NY in the late 80s,Early 90s but man it was a jungle 🙏🏾 Great channel and work you put into telling these stories
What's wrong with UFO sightings? Unsolved mysteries has the right to talk about whatever they want. There are plenty of shows and podcasts that cover murders, not everyone needs or wants to cover that topic.
This girl had good parents who only wanted the best for their kids. Many kids would love to have this help. Maybe her dad was a bit strict but he was good dad. My heart goes to him what a big shock he went through
@@sadoucelouisuhm yeah we can. Maybe dig into this case buddy. She wasn’t molested or anything close to it. She just wanted freedom like her stuck up friends. Also the maker of this video, spoke to people close to this family. stop making excuses and ruin this man’s name. The girl was a selfish girl and snapped.
@@sadoucelouis Why is it so hard to believe that some people are just bad? Even kids. There was nothing that pointed toward any type of abuse in the home so why go there? Jeeze.
I went to high school with Arelis and rode the bus with her brother. When we heard of her murder, us girls at the catholic school she went to were devastated! Arelis was 2 grades ahead of me. We weren't friends per se but she always smiled at me and said hello in the hallways when she saw me. She waa beautiful. Her brother was a funny, cute kid. It's been over 20 years and I think of her often. I watch a lot of true crime shows and often wondered when I might see her story featured. She was young and naive, didn't know the danger she was getting into. Misguided. My heart still breaks for her family, mom, dad, her lil brother. May they rest in peace😢
Wow thats crazy. I could only imagine how surreal that whole time was. I remember hearing about this on the news and even as a kid being like wait, what? At the beginning of this video, I said this movie reminded of her story. The director wrote to me and confirmed if was indeed Arelis who inspired the subplot of that film. That movie always felt oddly real to me and I have friends who can say the same because we'd talk about this movie randomly. I grew up down the block from where this movie was shot (where the detective lives in the movie). Its just crazy to me that something that hit the hood so hard could be in a Hollywood film and go unnoticed. This story was very complicated. I feel for that entire family. My heart goes out to her father. I feel like she was dealing with so much as a young girl and it was a lot. This shouldn't have happened.
This channel is solid. Its like a NYC centric Unsolved Mysteries with a modern Robert Stack...but of course these cases are solved. And most are heartbreaking tales of lost potential, tragedies or gruesome stories that many new Yorkers used to hear on while on the porch in NY back in the day...when the world was less connected and the news less instant..keep up the good work...new subscriber.
I remember when this happened. The bleeding of the ear is pretty scary. I've wondered about the father. Someone once said he moved back to DR. Very sad
I live in 151st and Riverside Drive. Lamar Sanchez used to chill in my building and cause trouble. I was born April of 1995 and my cousin went to school with him and her dad was friends with arelis dad. According to that night in October 20th. She let them in through the window and planned to have them plan to kill her dad when he got home but unfortunately they had other plans to take the money. She also had gone missing earlier that year for 3 days but she was in on it because her dad was too controlling and had his ways, she couldn’t even listen to rap music because he would control her, they were only allowed to sit in the sidewalk and the boys would hit on her from up the block. During the funeral, William was Bleeding from his ear and that’s how everyone knew that the killer was present at the funeral, all this could have been prevented had she not planned it and just had a better communication with her dad
@@danikajett9277 it wasn’t the dead body that was bleeding, one of the boys that killed the family started bleeding and that’s how they knew he was one of the perpetrator.
True . Or just waited until she was 18 and did what she wanted he loved his children when you leave your country and go to New York of ALL places with daughters you get hyper aware of your surroundings he wasn’t perfect that’s his child and he wasn’t abusive I bet the minute they talked and he gave her more freedom she would have ended up getting hurt ! I get how she feels some have antique parents but she would have been 18 before she knows it . Seems like dr social life was the only thing on her mind she didn’t seem to have other plans just this strong hold of breaking out and hating on her father
But wow small world you literally inputted facts into the story ! That’s amazing these New York stories Ortiz tells are so captivating and he does his research !! He isn’t reciting news paper stories either !
Proverbs 26:27 AMP... "Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone [up a hill to do mischief], it will come back on him." It's the word of God.
As long as you talk to your kids, and keep explaining why something isn’t allowed and find middle ground, you don’t have to worry. My oldest is almost 14 and yes I’m strict sometimes. I explain , talk with her about it and find middle ground and we move on from it. Kids understand more than we give them credit for. And yes sometimes kids don’t like their parents, but if you think back did you like your parents 24/7? I had a very loving mother but even I was annoyed with her sometimes, that’s just how kids work.
You are taking me back w these stories! I was in HS when this happened-I went to George Washington HS which was 98% Dominican in Washington Heights. A lot of my classmates knew that girl and were shocked. I remember hearing someone talk about the ear bleeding at the funeral. That gave me chills!
I think out of all the cases you’ve covered, this one has stayed with me the most. As someone that grew up with a strict parent, I can’t even imagine to think of something like this.
I’m Dominican and I grew up hearing that if the killer or a person it’s in the wake the dead body would cry or bleed, I personally don’t believe it’s true but it is something older people believe in
I grew up on 156th street and went to the same elementary/middle school as Arelis and her brother Willy…St. Catherine of Genoa on 153rd street. She was in my brother’s class a grade ahead of me and I remember her always being kind, beautiful, respectful , a good big sister and close with her mom but, I don’t recall the dad. When this happened, I couldn’t believe that she had anything to do with it. It was devastating/shocking to the community, nonetheless! May they RIP 🙏🏼
Thank you for your comment. Always appreciate it when people who are connected to these cases share their side. I started out this video asking if mine it inspired a Hollywood script. The director confirm that the actors of Arelis indeed inspired the sub plot of Double Whammy. So crazy. May they all rest.
Wish we had a Chicago channel as good as yours. This channel is on point. Glad I found you. Thank you for teaching us and expanding our understanding of the human condition.
Oh don't worry. I'll have you covered soon. I'm often in Chicago because I have a large group of friends out there and in Wisconsin. I have some very very wild Chicago stories from the 90s to share. Ones that have never been covered. Thank you so much!
I’m so grateful for the parents I had. I never was the type of child or teen that loves to go out all the time. I love studying, reading, and spending time with family and working and I love decorating my home, going out of town to see kin folks that I haven’t seen in awhile. Even though I had my days of asking why can I not go here or there. But I’ve learned what kinda of people that’s out here in this world. It’s a shame kids don’t appreciate great parents that loves them and cares for them like a mother and father would.
You are an angel on earth brother. God bless you for given these beloved souls a voice! 🙏💙 Never to be forgotten! God bless you wishing you Gods blessings, success, happiness, good health, always! God bless.😘🙏💙
I didn’t know the bleeding of the ear was a Dominican thing, thought everyone everywhere knew this! My mother in law says their eyes are closed in the coffin but the dead can hear who mourns them at their funeral so if their killer is there speaking, they bleed from having to hear their killer is in the room 😪 My exes godbrother also bled from his ear at his funeral and sure enough it was at the moment his killer said sorry to his Mom near his coffin 😮
this was also a superstition in my household and im a black american with southern roots. so it may be a european colonizer thing or an african thing lol
I follow a few different True Crime channels. This one is by far my favorite! I’ve been binge watching since last night. Your content and voice are perfect! Thank you for great content.
This is true. It is believed in Dominican Republic that if the person responsible for someone’s death is present at the wake, the body will begin to bleed. There is also a belief that the person responsible will be the last to leave because they will physically be unable to leave.
That's so crazy I had a friend when I was younger who's mother died and people speculated her cheating husband did it although he was never arrested. I went to her wake and the whole room started crying and freaking out because a red tear of blood came out one of her eyes. I'll never forget that it was the creepiest saddest thing I'd ever seen.
I remember a time when I had some real deep-rooted ill personal feelings toward my mom specifically when I was a teenager. Never once did I wish her to die though! 😳 Even then I was aware of my teenage angst/ rebellion Wether it's true or not that this young girl tried to set up her father I guess no one will truly ever know. The end result was nothing short of beyond tragically ironic the way the tables turned. This tragedy also reminds me of our parents drilling into us about NEVER to tell our family business,social security you name it, to anyone outside our household even family members. May the family continue to heal and find peace.🙏🏽I can't even imagine the tons of emotions that father might still think about even today! 😳😞🙏🏽❤️🕊💫 The true monsters were those 2 boys that little did she know had waaay too much "Larceny" and beyond her level of Slick the entire time. And took total advantage of her naivete.
That girl got herself killed by hatred. Having strict parents isn’t always that bad. I don’t feel bad for the girl but ONLY the brother, mom & father. RIP to them
I only joined a few days ago but your content is excellent. You definitely have a gift for storytelling. This story was crazy! The one meant to die is the only survivor, the son’s ear bleeding in the casket 😮 all I can say is I personally never want to be at a funeral where the body is doing anything but laying still 🙏🏾
Hello thank you for this . I am from the Bronx , NY and I grew up around this environment and most of the story I remember living thru it. It was scary time for us. Thanks for this
Such a tragic story. RIP to arelis William and their mom. I was very young when this happen. My mom knew them and we all went to the same church. My mom was very close to their grandmother. I remember when she called the house that morning and ask to speak w my mom. Their anniversary is coming up soon. I thought about then today.
@@AnTzWiF3 Thank you for your reply! Sometimes it feels like these critical moments in the city have been long forgotten. Its always nice when someone comments about remembering and having been there. I remember this has uptown buggin for a few months. It was a very crazy situation.
@@EvilIntentions Will and I were friends from school. He was a sweet and funny boy. Kind. I don’t think I ever knew he had birds and trained them. Thank you for including details like that. It brought back a memory of the first time he came over our apartment. Mom and I bumped into him at Woolworth’s (I know!) around the pet area, which was mostly colorful little birds. I think he was killing time before he was to be picked up or something. Anyway, it was gonna be a while and my mom invited him to wait at our place. My parent’s household wasn’t that much different than his. We hung out and ate domino’s at my place a few times like that before we graduated 8th grade. I wouldn’t see him again until his wake a few months later. Que Dios lo tenga en su gloria🙏🏽✨
@Jus this jus that hey I just saw your message. Only Arelis really knows if this was planned. However there grandmother who lived up the block as well as the aunt did say their dad was VERY strict. Arelis did spent time at her grandmother's house looking out the window. I guess watching the kids from the block outside enjoying themselves & she wasn't able to. Noone in her family actually wanted to believe that she would plan such a thing.
Arelis was in high school and I was in elementary school when this happen. We weren't friends but I knew of them because my mom was bff w her grandmother. We all went to the same church St. Catherine of Genoa on 153st. But I will say this I cant imagine how depressing it was for her to be locked up in her house all day looking out a window watching all the kids (friends) from the block enjoying themselves and she couldn't for no actual reason. It wasn't like she was a bad kid. I get her dad was protecting her so maybe she wouldn't get pregnant or start hanging out w the wrong crowd. But damn to not be able to go outside and enjoy your youth. She was robbed of her freedom. I'm not trying to justify what she did was right either. It's just tragic all around.
Nah, I don’t think she was evil. She was an emotionally charged teenager who was making irrational choices. Unfortunately, strict parents breed sneaky kids that resent them, EVERY TIME. It’s a tale as old as time.
I just came across your RUclips page! Very well put. All these stories are very devastating and sad. My brother was murdered in 1993 at the age of 17. I've been fascinated with crime stories since the death of my brother.
Well she got what she deserved is all I will say . Just sorry her father had to go through that and two innocent people lost their lives people trying to paint this girl as innocent if she is so innocent how did the killers know where the money was? Nobody is just going to disclose where their families savings is if they have no intention of sharing it
When I was in elementary science school my teacher told me about this story. The guy Lamar that did it was a student of her in elementary school and she told us the story as a warning to the girls. I have forever thought of this because I've lived in the neighborhood since 1997 and I randomly think about it from time to time. I never knew their names and always tried to find out info about it because of rumors that were told to me as I grew up from others whom knew the family. The fact that with the same money they stole they sent flowers to the mass for the funeral. That was something my mom always mentioned specially the things that happen with William Jr. and the flower. It really has always lived somewhere in my brain and today i decided to search google and find anything about it. When I did, I thought about sending this info to you just to find out you already had a video for it. Out of all the videos i've watched on your channel this was one I missed and one I remember of since i was 9 years old. Thanks for making this video.
This is such a heartbreaking and horrendous case. The betrayal and sorrow the dad and extended family must feel. I’m extremely shocked and saddened by this.
As a person raised in New York i appreciate your work. These stories arent covered by the other true crime channels. I would like to suggest some cases: the New York Zodiac Killer and Bernie Goetz. I also am interested in finding out about a case that happened the night the Exonerated 5 were arrested. A poc woman was attacked, murdered and thrown off a roof in Manhattan , the case got very little attention. Her case was used to point out how a woman of color was treated compared to the woman who was attacked in Central Park.
God bless you thank you for sharing these videos although sad ones i was born and raised in the Bronx. You deserve 4 stars for the way you document these stories.
Pleassseee keep the videos coming I really really enjoy your content…and the fact that back then on the newspaper selena was pictured…and that’s because that was the year she died…this story def went alll the way south that’s so messed up…
Damn, Strict Or NOT William Batista Has To Be A "Basket Case" After Coming Home & Finding His Wife, Son AND Daughter Murdered...Jus A Bad Situation All Together. May The Family Rest Peacefully & May He LIVE Peacefully. Great Content Brotha!!!✊🏾💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾💪🏾✊🏾💪🏾✊🏾
You can put "all" in caps as much as you want to get your point across, but it doesn't change the fact that you're putting every single human in the same box and it doesn't work like that. But you do you lol. Tons of people don't have anything bad happen to them after their crimes. What exactly does karma mean to you? You don't know every single person's story, stop trying to act like everyone is the same and you know things, because you don't know as much as you think.
I lived up the block from her. She was younger the me. The two guys we all knew each other. I never knew they was like that but they was the kids that had the least out of all the kids on the block.
I lived on that block and grew up with both of them. They were in the same class as my cousins in a Catholic school I actually remember her telling us how much she hated her father. The afternoon of the murder me and my cousin were walking down the block and saw her looking out the window. She had just argued with her pops cause he wouldn't let her out the house and my cuz who was rela closer to her and her fam told her that soon she was gonna be in highschool and she would have more freedom. My cuz lived right next door to them and would always sleep over there apt.we were so relieved that he was not there that day. I also remember being at the funeral when the detective broke all the flowers that the killer sent along with some of the money they stole
@@joel8692 Wow thats pretty crazy. I wonder what she was thinking about when she looked out that window, or if she had any regrets in hatching the plan. Thank you for your comment!
Mannn i ve been thinging about will for years. I went to hses with him. The short time i knew him i remembered how he was everywhere. He had a ton of energy. The day we found out there were a lot of tears in school he was well liked. Rip bro
I have been bingeing your vids since I discovered the channel! Fascinating stories, very well told! As an avid true crime fan I thank you! Are you in the law enforcement field or just a NYC crime historian?
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. Not in the law enforcement field, just have always had a deep interest in the investigative side of things.
Although these stories have made me cry...I am glad to give them an ear. I have two girls and they're SO SAD. I pray for the families. I have been stuck on here watching and I have subscribed.
Wow😢 just discovered your amazing channel ….. so sad…. I always love to read upon your cases presented further to get more insight…. I was reading an article of an interview Arelis father gave where he doesn’t believe his daughter had anything to do with the robbery etc…. He also stated that it wasn’t possible that she was involved because he always checked that she was home…. But he failed to realise that Arelis would sneak out when he wasn’t there or when her mother was asleep…. He also fails to realise that there was no forced entry…. Also that she had run away for 3 days before this incident … sooo sad for her family 😢 it’s hard on parents who come from another country aiming to make a better life for their children in a land that is maybe far dangerous than your own…. And your children just don’t get it… that education is the way out of poverty for most…. And the company that you keep isn’t always good… parents who are too strict don’t do themselves or their children any favours…. I get why he was strict but …. It’s sooo sad…. My parent’s were soooo strict the same way… but I got my education and got out the right way and lived my life in safety …. Loving your channel …. Subscribed….🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! Thats very sad. He truly was in disbelief. Wish I knew why she felt the need to make it so extreme and not just take the money and run away with those guys. Seemed like she really wanted him gone.
@@EvilIntentions So true …. I not from America …. Here in the uk it’s very rare to hear of a child murdering their parents or planning such an act… but child abuse and murder is just as rife as in America 😣
This channel deserve 🏆🏆 I'm new to this channel & Wooow some of these crime stories I never seen nor heard of .... & Wooow She should be lucky to have a father who want to protect his daughter a father want to make sure his daughter stay focus on school & her future Arelis Batista🇩🇴 should be ashamed of herself. I understand She wants to be free & independent want to hang with her friends & peers
The betrayal this young woman commited against her family was diabolical as much as it is unforgivable. She paid with her life and unfortunately her families too.
My mother was very strict. I couldn't breathe. Wtf?! They betrayed the girl and killed her and her brother, mother. Wow!! Damn shame!! Everyone stay safe. ✌️ NI great story. 👍
I know about this case because my aunt knew her. My aunt worked with at risk students while she finished her PhD. It was a program sponsored by Columbia University and NYS Psy Hospital. She participated in the program. Any way she told me that detectives confiscated all her files. She went to Mother Cabrini HS, which closed in 2014. The two killers actually went to her wake.
I Was talking about the bleeding from the dead body at the funeral while the killer is there. Heard plenty of those types of situations but not from Dominicans so had to ask.
God Bless, Just wanted to say I love your channel you are Unique one of a Kind RUclipsr ❤ Also Love your T shirt, Halloween 🎃 1978 That is awesome Amigo . Let me jump right into this Video now, Thank you for all your hard work!
The bible says, life AND DEATH, are in the tongue. If this girl truly did this, her "karma" TURNED ON HER QUICKLY. Rest in peace to the innocent ones, and the guilty.....rot.
I love your channel!! This story was very tragic. If this was just a rumor and she didn't set him up. It's a cautionary tale about keeping your finances and that of your family to yourself. There is a lot of shady people out there who would do whatever to earn fast money.
I just looked into this case, and apparently, from what I read (I could be missing information), there is no concrete evidence that Arelis was involved. Only the confession of the killers. Unless they had the same story (not rehearsed), it's possible they were lying. Maybe to try to get shorter sentences. Arelis's father admitted he was strict and that they had issues. Maybe she did hate him. Was that enough to kill him? Maybe she just wanted to rob him with the help of the two guys to make it look like a random robbery. But then they decided they didn't want to split it with her. The father didn't believe she planned it (back in '95), but something like that can be very hard to accept. Sad story either way.
Or maybe her only wrongdoing was telling the bf of the money in passing as she's ranting about her father. Then that day, she just snuck the boyfriend in to hang out, as teenagers do sometimes (window), and he betrayed her (door). And the killers made the whole thing up.
I've spoken to many people who knew her and its known she set this up. Hence the papers saying "SHE SET UP MURDER". Really wasn't a mystery at all. Just hard to accept for many. There were also many phone calls to the house that were unexplained and it was just the guys checking to see if he was home. It was planned for a little while. If anyone here wanted a better deal either one of them could've said the other pulled the trigger to get off lighter since there were no witnesses. Their stories added up with no communication between them and they admitted to pulling the triggers. Nothing could really get them a light sentence at that point so no reason to make that up. Them making this story up would only guarantee their guilt because then that means killing her was premeditated. At the end of the day these were two weirdos who did a heinous crime, not interrogation geniuses. She set this up and it went terribly wrong. Also crazy stories about that funeral and how her father acted while there but I would wait to speak to a few more people before I put that out there.
Knew of them, we all from the same neighborhood same schools, a lot of my friends attended the wake everything he explained that happened at the funeral is facts.
That's definitely one of the more bizarre stories, with the boyfriend turning on her and the dead kid bleeding when the killer didn't take the rose. I wonder if it would've played out differently if he wasn't so brazen as to send flowers and attend the wake.
No, she never intended for her mom and brother to be murdered. Her father was strict, and I think her plan was for her and her boyfriend to take his money in the house and perhaps her and bf would run away together? Her dad was away at the time of murder. I went to high school with her. Her murder, and that of her family, was devastating. I often rode the bus with her little brother😢
Yeah this was a very big deal when it first happened. The director to this movie wrote to me and confirmed the plot of that film was for sure inspired by this real case. Crazy.
@@EvilIntentions I read up on this story after looking at this video just cold blooded how they did them I really wish the girl would have just talk to her father this could’ve been all prevented and the fact that she was 18 years old pretty much adult and could’ve left on her own I don’t know how things really went in 1995 truly a heartbreak 💔 tragedy can you tell me what the film called?
Sad story! Reminds me of that old saying, when you dig one ditch you better dig two cause the trap you set just may be for you'
That's deep
Good one! Well said.
🗣️🗣️
Yep! My grandma would always say this
BARS😮💨
That moment when your life flashes before your eyes and you realize (all too late) your revenge plot unintentionally includes yourself.
Everyone is pointing fingers at motives but damn imagine what the father felt coming home to that 😳 if that man didn't kill himself or die from depression that's a strong man.
That must've been very very crazy to see when he got home. My heart goes out to him.

@@yessi110 you're wrong sweetheart, is the deceased person who bleed and is not just from the ears, it can be from the eyes, nose and mouth as well.
True . Or just waited until she was 18 and did what she wanted he loved his children when you leave your country and go to New York of ALL places with daughters you get hyper aware of your surroundings he wasn’t perfect that’s his child and he wasn’t abusive I bet the minute they talked and he gave her more freedom she would have ended up getting hurt ! I get how she feels some have antique parents but she would have been 18 before she knows it . Seems like dr social life was the only thing on her mind she didn’t seem to have other plans just this strong hold of breaking out and hating on her father
But wow small world you literally inputted facts into the story ! That’s amazing these New York stories Ortiz tells are so captivating and he does his research !! He isn’t reciting news paper stories either !
Proverbs 26:27 AMP... "Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone [up a hill to do mischief], it will come back on him."
It's the word of God.
She was 18. She could’ve just left home. She’s seen as an adult, completely her fault
Damn I hope my daughter don’t do this to me I love her and just want the best for her
My biggest fear...having my kids hate me...but as long as we have discipline and boundaries, we should be ok
As long as you talk to your kids, and keep explaining why something isn’t allowed and find middle ground, you don’t have to worry. My oldest is almost 14 and yes I’m strict sometimes. I explain , talk with her about it and find middle ground and we move on from it. Kids understand more than we give them credit for. And yes sometimes kids don’t like their parents, but if you think back did you like your parents 24/7? I had a very loving mother but even I was annoyed with her sometimes, that’s just how kids work.
You are taking me back w these stories! I was in HS when this happened-I went to George Washington HS which was 98% Dominican in Washington Heights. A lot of my classmates knew that girl and were shocked. I remember hearing someone talk about the ear bleeding at the funeral. That gave me chills!
Omg!! I remember this!! The 90's in NYC was insane. Thank God I made it!!
Me too I’m from Coney Island in Brooklyn boy the 90’s was a wild time
NYC was a movie in the 90’s I’m from the Bronx
Salute NY! LA was a movie too 😢
Tell me about it I was born in ‘91 and could remember certain egregious things that occurred then
@@montelsprinkle8751 70's baby so we saw everything in NYC!! 90's had nothing on the 80's!!
I think out of all the cases you’ve covered, this one has stayed with me the most. As someone that grew up with a strict parent, I can’t even imagine to think of something like this.
I’m Dominican and I grew up hearing that if the killer or a person it’s in the wake the dead body would cry or bleed, I personally don’t believe it’s true but it is something older people believe in
I'm Jamaican and I 💯💯💯 believe this!
I grew up on 156th street and went to the same elementary/middle school as Arelis and her brother Willy…St. Catherine of Genoa on 153rd street. She was in my brother’s class a grade ahead of me and I remember her always being kind, beautiful, respectful , a good big sister and close with her mom but, I don’t recall the dad. When this happened, I couldn’t believe that she had anything to do with it. It was devastating/shocking to the community, nonetheless! May they RIP 🙏🏼
Thank you for your comment. Always appreciate it when people who are connected to these cases share their side. I started out this video asking if mine it inspired a Hollywood script. The director confirm that the actors of Arelis indeed inspired the sub plot of Double Whammy. So crazy. May they all rest.
Your narration skills are so on point. there is a cold vibe to your voice and the intro to your show is freakin FANTASTIC. I AM A FAN!
Melvin was my good friend from ps 187 . I also remember his sister . It took me years to get over his murder .
I'm sorry for your loss!
🙏🙏🙏
Wish we had a Chicago channel as good as yours. This channel is on point. Glad I found you. Thank you for teaching us and expanding our understanding of the human condition.
Oh don't worry. I'll have you covered soon. I'm often in Chicago because I have a large group of friends out there and in Wisconsin. I have some very very wild Chicago stories from the 90s to share. Ones that have never been covered. Thank you so much!
Try Drillmatic. He has a very good series going over murders in Chicago
@@EvilIntentions ayyy 🤗 where at in WI? ...Milwaukee?
@@EvilIntentionscan’t wait for that, I’m pretty sure it’ll be just good as the ones you cover in NY. wishing you much success!
Look up the Drillmatic.. He does Chicago stories.
I remember this story when I was 15 years old , Jesus 27 years ago 🙏🏻 Now I’m 40 , so sad for the family
Same. I went to HS with her😢
Damn 1995 was a cruel year
Lol 😂so more like forty something❤
@@catherinesyme901lol I just said the same to myself.. either 42 or close 42 at the time
You mean 15+27= 42, the moment u made this comment, lol. My age though. I was 15 in 1995. But I live in Europe.
I’m so grateful for the parents I had. I never was the type of child or teen that loves to go out all the time. I love studying, reading, and spending time with family and working and I love decorating my home, going out of town to see kin folks that I haven’t seen in awhile. Even though I had my days of asking why can I not go here or there. But I’ve learned what kinda of people that’s out here in this world. It’s a shame kids don’t appreciate great parents that loves them and cares for them like a mother and father would.
Wow another great story from NY! And your delivery is on point, like no other! I will be waiting for the next episode next week or so.
You are an angel on earth brother. God bless you for given these beloved souls a voice! 🙏💙 Never to be forgotten! God bless you wishing you Gods blessings, success, happiness, good health, always! God bless.😘🙏💙
Rip to Arelis and her mother & brother. Unbelievable. 😇🙏🌹🕊
Rip to arelis, really?
I didn’t know the bleeding of the ear was a Dominican thing, thought everyone everywhere knew this! My mother in law says their eyes are closed in the coffin but the dead can hear who mourns them at their funeral so if their killer is there speaking, they bleed from having to hear their killer is in the room 😪
My exes godbrother also bled from his ear at his funeral and sure enough it was at the moment his killer said sorry to his Mom near his coffin 😮
OMG! I never knew this saying about the deceased bleeding from the ear.
This makes me even more sad.
Thanks for sharing that info never heard of that before.
If the dead are embalmed, how does that work as the blood is replaced by by embalming fluid?
@@muchtested it’s a mystery that can’t be proven..like so many other mysteries there are no answers for
this was also a superstition in my household and im a black american with southern roots. so it may be a european colonizer thing or an african thing lol
Love the fact that you keep our society updated with so much untold real stories
And fact bless you 🙏 love it😊😉😐
I follow a few different True Crime channels. This one is by far my favorite! I’ve been binge watching since last night. Your content and voice are perfect! Thank you for great content.
This is true. It is believed in Dominican Republic that if the person responsible for someone’s death is present at the wake, the body will begin to bleed. There is also a belief that the person responsible will be the last to leave because they will physically be unable to leave.
Ist called Cruentation.
That's so crazy I had a friend when I was younger who's mother died and people speculated her cheating husband did it although he was never arrested. I went to her wake and the whole room started crying and freaking out because a red tear of blood came out one of her eyes. I'll never forget that it was the creepiest saddest thing I'd ever seen.
Yea that had to be creepy personally I probably would be a little terrified of seeing something like that….
🙏❤️🕯🕊
The killer was in the room. That’s what the blood coming from the deceased means.
@@semplybalanced3210 doubt that the body is weird especially after death
Was the husband there?
I remember a time when I had some real deep-rooted ill personal feelings toward my mom specifically when I was a teenager. Never once did I wish her to die though! 😳 Even then I was aware of my teenage angst/ rebellion
Wether it's true or not that this young girl tried to set up her father I guess no one will truly ever know.
The end result was nothing short of beyond tragically ironic the way the tables turned.
This tragedy also reminds me of our parents drilling into us about NEVER to tell our family business,social security you name it, to anyone outside our household even family members. May the family continue to heal and find peace.🙏🏽I can't even imagine the tons of emotions that father might still think about even today! 😳😞🙏🏽❤️🕊💫
The true monsters were those 2 boys that little did she know had waaay too much "Larceny" and beyond her level of Slick the entire time. And took total advantage of her naivete.
That girl got herself killed by hatred. Having strict parents isn’t always that bad. I don’t feel bad for the girl but ONLY the brother, mom & father. RIP to them
I only joined a few days ago but your content is excellent. You definitely have a gift for storytelling. This story was crazy! The one meant to die is the only survivor, the son’s ear bleeding in the casket 😮 all I can say is I personally never want to be at a funeral where the body is doing anything but laying still 🙏🏾
I just wanna say keep these videos coming!!! I’m loving your channel! Keep up the good work
Hello thank you for this . I am from the Bronx , NY and I grew up around this environment and most of the story I remember living thru it. It was scary time for us. Thanks for this
Such a tragic story. RIP to arelis William and their mom. I was very young when this happen. My mom knew them and we all went to the same church. My mom was very close to their grandmother. I remember when she called the house that morning and ask to speak w my mom. Their anniversary is coming up soon. I thought about then today.
Also I do remember William ear did have blood. And my mom did say the rose wilted.
@@AnTzWiF3 Thank you for your reply! Sometimes it feels like these critical moments in the city have been long forgotten. Its always nice when someone comments about remembering and having been there. I remember this has uptown buggin for a few months. It was a very crazy situation.
@@EvilIntentions Will and I were friends from school. He was a sweet and funny boy. Kind. I don’t think I ever knew he had birds and trained them. Thank you for including details like that. It brought back a memory of the first time he came over our apartment. Mom and I bumped into him at Woolworth’s (I know!) around the pet area, which was mostly colorful little birds. I think he was killing time before he was to be picked up or something. Anyway, it was gonna be a while and my mom invited him to wait at our place. My parent’s household wasn’t that much different than his. We hung out and ate domino’s at my place a few times like that before we graduated 8th grade. I wouldn’t see him again until his wake a few months later. Que Dios lo tenga en su gloria🙏🏽✨
@Jus this jus that hey I just saw your message. Only Arelis really knows if this was planned. However there grandmother who lived up the block as well as the aunt did say their dad was VERY strict. Arelis did spent time at her grandmother's house looking out the window. I guess watching the kids from the block outside enjoying themselves & she wasn't able to. Noone in her family actually wanted to believe that she would plan such a thing.
Arelis was in high school and I was in elementary school when this happen. We weren't friends but I knew of them because my mom was bff w her grandmother. We all went to the same church St. Catherine of Genoa on 153st. But I will say this I cant imagine how depressing it was for her to be locked up in her house all day looking out a window watching all the kids (friends) from the block enjoying themselves and she couldn't for no actual reason. It wasn't like she was a bad kid. I get her dad was protecting her so maybe she wouldn't get pregnant or start hanging out w the wrong crowd. But damn to not be able to go outside and enjoy your youth. She was robbed of her freedom. I'm not trying to justify what she did was right either. It's just tragic all around.
You continue and you’ll become bigger. I had to come from TikTok cause your content is wonderful.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I have so much more in store.
IF SHE WANTED FREEDOM…SHE SHUD HAVE WENT AWAY TO COLLEGE…SHE JUST EVIL HEARTED😠
Exactlyyyyyy
How if her dad had her on lock? He was too controlling, but still she shouldn’t have done what she did
Nah, I don’t think she was evil. She was an emotionally charged teenager who was making irrational choices. Unfortunately, strict parents breed sneaky kids that resent them, EVERY TIME. It’s a tale as old as time.
Keep doin what you do! I never heard of any of these cases. You’re also great at telling the stories. 👏🏾
That’s wild! To send the family YOU slayed, Flowers for the funeral that YOU caused. Got Damn and with THEIR own life savings.
I just came across your RUclips page! Very well put. All these stories are very devastating and sad. My brother was murdered in 1993 at the age of 17. I've been fascinated with crime stories since the death of my brother.
Very sorry to hear about your brother! May he always rest. Thank you for the kind feedback!
@@EvilIntentions you're welcome.
Love and blessings, 🙏❤️🕯🕊🇳🇿 I hope you have many precious memories
Sorry for your loss. I hope you were able to get justice
Sorry for your lost 😞
Well she got what she deserved is all I will say . Just sorry her father had to go through that and two innocent people lost their lives people trying to paint this girl as innocent if she is so innocent how did the killers know where the money was? Nobody is just going to disclose where their families savings is if they have no intention of sharing it
When I was in elementary science school my teacher told me about this story. The guy Lamar that did it was a student of her in elementary school and she told us the story as a warning to the girls. I have forever thought of this because I've lived in the neighborhood since 1997 and I randomly think about it from time to time. I never knew their names and always tried to find out info about it because of rumors that were told to me as I grew up from others whom knew the family. The fact that with the same money they stole they sent flowers to the mass for the funeral. That was something my mom always mentioned specially the things that happen with William Jr. and the flower. It really has always lived somewhere in my brain and today i decided to search google and find anything about it. When I did, I thought about sending this info to you just to find out you already had a video for it. Out of all the videos i've watched on your channel this was one I missed and one I remember of since i was 9 years old. Thanks for making this video.
This is such a heartbreaking and horrendous case. The betrayal and sorrow the dad and extended family must feel. I’m extremely shocked and saddened by this.
No one in my family talks to one another. Dysfunctional, yes. No one is a murder, though.
🤣🤣🤣 omgg I needed that laugh!!
I love this channel. Thanks for bringing to us these real life stories from our community.
She was 18!!!! She could have just left
Exactly
That bitch got what she deserved 👏🏾
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born telling lies Psalms 58:3

I stumbled upon one of your videos and started binge watching it, they're incredible ! I had to subscribe, keep up the good work.
this might of been one of the craziest twist of fate stories I ever heard! wow I’m stuck , thanks for the good journalism
I could listen to you cases all day. Your voice is so relaxing. Great work. New subscriber here.
As a person raised in New York i appreciate your work. These stories arent covered by the other true crime channels. I would like to suggest some cases: the New York Zodiac Killer and Bernie Goetz.
I also am interested in finding out about a case that happened the night the Exonerated 5 were arrested. A poc woman was attacked, murdered and thrown off a roof in Manhattan , the case got very little attention. Her case was used to point out how a woman of color was treated compared to the woman who was attacked in Central Park.
This need to be a Netflix series…. I respect your work! Your respectful way of telling the stories❤ so heartbreaking🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼
God bless you thank you for sharing these videos although sad ones i was born and raised in the Bronx. You deserve 4 stars for the way you document these stories.
Dude is gonna blow up soon ... Best channel on RUclips

We ALL reap what we sow! We ALL get back what we put out! It’s not a secret, it’s not a race/nationality thing. IT’S TRUTH.
You can put "all" in caps as much as you want to get your point across, but it doesn't change the fact that you're putting every single human in the same box and it doesn't work like that. But you do you lol.
Tons of people don't have anything bad happen to them after their crimes. What exactly does karma mean to you?
You don't know every single person's story, stop trying to act like everyone is the same and you know things, because you don't know as much as you think.
I lived up the block from her. She was younger the me. The two guys we all knew each other. I never knew they was like that but they was the kids that had the least out of all the kids on the block.
Its like that a lot of the times in situations like these.
I lived on that block and grew up with both of them. They were in the same class as my cousins in a Catholic school I actually remember her telling us how much she hated her father. The afternoon of the murder me and my cousin were walking down the block and saw her looking out the window. She had just argued with her pops cause he wouldn't let her out the house and my cuz who was rela closer to her and her fam told her that soon she was gonna be in highschool and she would have more freedom.
My cuz lived right next door to them and would always sleep over there apt.we were so relieved that he was not there that day. I also remember being at the funeral when the detective broke all the flowers that the killer sent along with some of the money they stole
@@joel8692 Wow thats pretty crazy. I wonder what she was thinking about when she looked out that window, or if she had any regrets in hatching the plan. Thank you for your comment!
Another sad story, but as always y'all have done great telling this story. Much love 💙
yes the bleeding of the ear or a tear will drop this is so scary like wow
Thank you for the video! Heartbreaking Case!💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️
Mannn i ve been thinging about will for years. I went to hses with him. The short time i knew him i remembered how he was everywhere. He had a ton of energy. The day we found out there were a lot of tears in school he was well liked. Rip bro
Wow never heard this story before..so sad
I have been bingeing your vids since I discovered the channel! Fascinating stories, very well told! As an avid true crime fan I thank you! Are you in the law enforcement field or just a NYC crime historian?
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. Not in the law enforcement field, just have always had a deep interest in the investigative side of things.
Girl me too literally
Im here from TikTok. I love your videos. Thank you for respectfully telling these stories and for the time you put into this great content.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate that and appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Although these stories have made me cry...I am glad to give them an ear. I have two girls and they're SO SAD. I pray for the families. I have been stuck on here watching and I have subscribed.
Wow😢 just discovered your amazing channel ….. so sad…. I always love to read upon your cases presented further to get more insight…. I was reading an article of an interview Arelis father gave where he doesn’t believe his daughter had anything to do with the robbery etc…. He also stated that it wasn’t possible that she was involved because he always checked that she was home…. But he failed to realise that Arelis would sneak out when he wasn’t there or when her mother was asleep…. He also fails to realise that there was no forced entry…. Also that she had run away for 3 days before this incident … sooo sad for her family 😢 it’s hard on parents who come from another country aiming to make a better life for their children in a land that is maybe far dangerous than your own…. And your children just don’t get it… that education is the way out of poverty for most…. And the company that you keep isn’t always good… parents who are too strict don’t do themselves or their children any favours…. I get why he was strict but …. It’s sooo sad…. My parent’s were soooo strict the same way… but I got my education and got out the right way and lived my life in safety …. Loving your channel …. Subscribed….🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! Thats very sad. He truly was in disbelief. Wish I knew why she felt the need to make it so extreme and not just take the money and run away with those guys. Seemed like she really wanted him gone.
@@EvilIntentions So true …. I not from America …. Here in the uk it’s very rare to hear of a child murdering their parents or planning such an act… but child abuse and murder is just as rife as in America 😣
Thanks for sharing this story. I grew up in Dyckman and I had never heard of this story!
This channel deserve 🏆🏆 I'm new to this channel & Wooow some of these crime stories I never seen nor heard of .... & Wooow She should be lucky to have a father who want to protect his daughter a father want to make sure his daughter stay focus on school & her future Arelis Batista🇩🇴 should be ashamed of herself.

Thank you my brother for these real life stories from NYC
Came from TikTok. Great content, though haunting.
The betrayal this young woman commited against her family was diabolical as much as it is unforgivable. She paid with her life and unfortunately her families too.
Man bro your voice and the NY page scream the 90s ! Youre a classic bro ! Good work as always homie ! BTW where's the merch !
My mother was very strict. I couldn't breathe. Wtf?! They betrayed the girl and killed her and her brother, mother. Wow!! Damn shame!! Everyone stay safe. ✌️ NI great story. 👍
I know about this case because my aunt knew her. My aunt worked with at risk students while she finished her PhD. It was a program sponsored by Columbia University and NYS Psy Hospital. She participated in the program. Any way she told me that detectives confiscated all her files. She went to Mother Cabrini HS, which closed in 2014. The two killers actually went to her wake.
I really enjoy your work, you have this way of telling the story and it keeps me so engaged. Much love 🙏🏾
The Wilting Flower of the Murderer isn’t specifically a Dominican belief, is a brujeria/Santeria type of belief. General, Afro Latino Magic cultures.
I Was talking about the bleeding from the dead body at the funeral while the killer is there. Heard plenty of those types of situations but not from Dominicans so had to ask.
@@EvilIntentions damn that's crazy while the murderes were there one of the bodies at the wake were bleeding that's crazyyyyyyyyy
@@EvilIntentions Isn’t it normal for bodies to bleed at funerals🤷♀

Wow, the rose and bleeding of the ear is crazy
The bible says, life AND DEATH, are in the tongue. If this girl truly did this, her "karma" TURNED ON HER QUICKLY. Rest in peace to the innocent ones, and the guilty.....rot.
Your channel needs to be on a major TV network I just don't get it! Thank you for bringing these stories to the front. Keep going, you're doing great.
I love your channel!! This story was very tragic. If this was just a rumor and she didn't set him up. It's a cautionary tale about keeping your finances and that of your family to yourself. There is a lot of shady people out there who would do whatever to earn fast money.
"life imitates art." Keep up the great content!!! awesome page
I just looked into this case, and apparently, from what I read (I could be missing information), there is no concrete evidence that Arelis was involved. Only the confession of the killers. Unless they had the same story (not rehearsed), it's possible they were lying. Maybe to try to get shorter sentences. Arelis's father admitted he was strict and that they had issues. Maybe she did hate him. Was that enough to kill him? Maybe she just wanted to rob him with the help of the two guys to make it look like a random robbery. But then they decided they didn't want to split it with her. The father didn't believe she planned it (back in '95), but something like that can be very hard to accept. Sad story either way.
Or maybe her only wrongdoing was telling the bf of the money in passing as she's ranting about her father. Then that day, she just snuck the boyfriend in to hang out, as teenagers do sometimes (window), and he betrayed her (door). And the killers made the whole thing up.
I've spoken to many people who knew her and its known she set this up. Hence the papers saying "SHE SET UP MURDER". Really wasn't a mystery at all. Just hard to accept for many. There were also many phone calls to the house that were unexplained and it was just the guys checking to see if he was home. It was planned for a little while. If anyone here wanted a better deal either one of them could've said the other pulled the trigger to get off lighter since there were no witnesses. Their stories added up with no communication between them and they admitted to pulling the triggers. Nothing could really get them a light sentence at that point so no reason to make that up. Them making this story up would only guarantee their guilt because then that means killing her was premeditated. At the end of the day these were two weirdos who did a heinous crime, not interrogation geniuses. She set this up and it went terribly wrong. Also crazy stories about that funeral and how her father acted while there but I would wait to speak to a few more people before I put that out there.
@@EvilIntentionsHave you shared how her father acted at her funeral? I’m curious
Knew of them, we all from the same neighborhood same schools, a lot of my friends attended the wake everything he explained that happened at the funeral is facts.
May they all rest. My condolences go out to you and anyone who was connected to them!
Is it true that the father was punching his daughters casket ? Someone commented that in this video
That's definitely one of the more bizarre stories, with the boyfriend turning on her and the dead kid bleeding when the killer didn't take the rose. I wonder if it would've played out differently if he wasn't so brazen as to send flowers and attend the wake.
Hope Arelis never planned this horrific tragedy. It backfired, if she did. May these family and loved ones have peace
No, she never intended for her mom and brother to be murdered. Her father was strict, and I think her plan was for her and her boyfriend to take his money in the house and perhaps her and bf would run away together? Her dad was away at the time of murder. I went to high school with her. Her murder, and that of her family, was devastating. I often rode the bus with her little brother😢
Crazy episode I never heard of this till now 😢
Yeah this was a very big deal when it first happened. The director to this movie wrote to me and confirmed the plot of that film was for sure inspired by this real case. Crazy.
@@EvilIntentions I read up on this story after looking at this video just cold blooded how they did them I really wish the girl would have just talk to her father this could’ve been all prevented and the fact that she was 18 years old pretty much adult and could’ve left on her own I don’t know how things really went in 1995 truly a heartbreak 💔 tragedy
can you tell me what the film called?
The film is called Double Whammy. I open this video here with it and explain it.
