Emanuel Jaques (October 8, 1964 - July 29, 1977) was a Canadian 12-year-old boy who was murdered in Toronto. The sexual assault and murder of Jaques sparked outrage in Toronto, resulting in the conviction of three men: Saul Betesh, Robert Kribs, and Joseph Woods for murder, and the regeneration of the city's Yonge Street downtown area.
Emanuel Jaques brutal and senseless murder has stayed with me for 44 years and will probably be with me till the day I die. It's probably because I knew Emanuel. We both lived in Regent Park. He was an ambitious, kind and friendly kid.
Scott you did your homework. Your details are accurate and your compassion is evident. Thank you for sharing. RIP Emanuel.
As someone who is still affected by the murder even though I did not know him or the families but you did I send you my condolences.
RIP Emanuel
jack flash my condolences to you RIP Emmanuel
My neighbour was also a friend of his, 56 now, ran into one of them in the pen and stuck a fork in his neck, he lived but passed recently.
My condolences to you Jack on the loss of your friend.
Do you know what happened to his siblings .I would love to find them
When you put the little hot wheels car on the grave site, I really lost it. I could only think of my boys at that age playing with their hot wheels that they loved to collect and play with for hours. I could see in your face that this was a very difficult video for you to complete, but it is a very important story and I am thankful to you, Scott, for having the strength to do this.
Amen
AMEN
Omg this is so sad.
I was a 8 year old Portuguese girl when he was brutally murdered. I had met him a year prior as my dad was a superintendent of a nearby building and he knew him and introduced me. His murder by those brutal monsters took away my innocence and rudely made me aware that evil exists. Thank u for keeping his memory alive.
The reason he’s buried so far north of Toronto is that the Jacques were recent immigrants to Canada - Toronto - moving here from the Azores to make a better life for their family. They were poor, hence Emmanuel and his brother shining shoes to help support the family. The Jacques family could not afford the cemetery costs so someone donated their own plot they’d already purchased and this was the location. There was also a sister. They lived on either Gerrard or Shutet, can’t remember. The father died I think about 15 years ago and after that the mother moved back to the Azores. One of Emmanuel’s neighbour friends wrote a book about him called Kicking The Sky by Anthony De Sa. The original building at 245 Yonge Street was still there in 2008. He will always be remembered by those of us old enough at the time when this happened, affectionately, as the Shoeshine Boy. I’ll never forget this case
So sad. I was about 6 years old when this happened, so I didn't know about it when it occurred. Learned a few years later.
That was a good book. He's a teacher. But I wondered why not bury him at Prospect cemetery? It was so much closer. I have family at Holy Cross. If I ever go there I will pay my respects to him.
@@Canadiana71 I am aware of Prospect Cemetery but not sure if there were still some costs related?
Any news about how the brother Luciano is doing? I wondered about him all these years. He did nothing wrong but I imagine he blamed himself and that breaks my heart
I was 14 in 1977
Was hard to believe such good happen when Toronto was called Toronto the good.
Changed Toronto forever.
RIP Emmanuel
You will always be remembered never forgotten.
My parents had their shoes shined by this young man - They said he was just the sweetest little fellow! May he rest in peace xx
You respectfully honoured Emanuel's legacy with dignity and grace Scott. A highly commendable tribute, thank you!
Thank you for telling Emanuel’s story. My mother was 27 years old and lived in that same area where Emanuel lived. Saul Betesh hit my mother in the head with a large rock and chased her until she had to run into a restaurant for help. They phoned the police but he ran and disappeared. That happened a few months before Emanuel was murdered. May Emanuel Rest In Peace 💗
😳Wow!
Wiccan. Thank you for sharing, I really feel for your Mother experiencing something so horrible. RIP Emanuel 🌟
Your mom was lucky
Was that Saul immigrant?
It's good to see flowers there for him and it's healing to know that he's never forgotten
Hi Joan. Those were my thoughts as well, almost at the time Scott said it, about there being flowers there. Feeling this one, beyond tragic.
Your very dear Scott, this little boy trying to earn some money for his family, someone’s boy, their son to have this done to him , don’t understand why the death penalty not brought up. The horrific acts done to this child , I believe the judicial system should have put the death penalty on the table , but then I don’t know Toronto, it’s laws , it’s legal system which I’m sure is complicated. They , these 4 monsters took this little boys life in such a horrid way, it’s truly unspeakable. You gave him dignity, honor , and most of all remembrance of this beautiful little boy that just wanted to make extra money and he paid with his life. RIP little Emanuel the angels are now watching over you, where no more harm nor pain will you ever feel again. Thank you Scott for having such a big heart, your show I do not miss.
@@cynthiahusband106 Justin's daddy and The Liberal Party , scrapped the death penalty .
@@cynthiahusband106 I would reply to the death penalty thing, but this page is to remember a young man.
I really got emotional with the hot wheels car. My significant other passed in November 2011, 7 days after his 29th birthday. I still leave hot wheels at his grave. We're big Honda/Acura people. I'll be 50 in July 2021 and I hope people leave little cars when I'm gone, too. Very sweet gesture Scott. 🙏
Spencer Hurley Thank you for sharing your story and yes it was a beautiful touch 🌟
Such a sad story Scotty. This little kid had to endure so much. May his soul Rest In Peace. Such a sweet gesture when you placed the Hot Wheels car on his grave. Kids at the young age of 12 love those cars and I am sure Emmanuel was watching you from above and is very happy for you being able to tell us about him and for all of us paying tribute to him. Those men were so cruel and had no hearts and deserved punishment. In contrast the sadness in your eyes and voice for someone you never knew touched many hearts. Thanks Scotty. You are the best. Take care. Be safe. Lots of love from all of us❤️🤗✌🏼💕
So sad. The so called human beings who done this sick crime should of been ripped to shreds limb by limb and given no mercy. You done a great job explaining this story Scott and was also a nice thought putting a toy car on his grave for him.
Hell is too good a place for the scumbags that committed this crime.
I AGREE!!👍👍👍
@@SDiskic there is no place worse, they are evil for this horrific deed and that has reserved their place there.
Thank you for presenting this story respectfully.
I was also a shoeshine boy during the summer of 1977 on Yonge Street. I was shining shoes that night with my buddies as it was common to do to make money. Usual made $3-4 a night.
That night on the news it was the lead story that Emanuel went missing.
It was scary and immediately they banned shoe-shinning downtown.
I believe there was a McDonald’s next to the strip club where it happened, where the Burger King is now. The old imperial Six theatre was just a few doors down as well. The Eaton Centre just opened that summer.
His parents never recovered and his siblings were never the same again to this day.
Rest In Peace Emanuel.
I wish I could find his siblings as I was friends with his sisters RIP Angel
I remember. I was an 11 years old child when this happened, living in Kitchener-Waterloo. Beyond horrific. I remember the funeral procession and his mom fainting overwhelmed with grief, no doubt imagining what her sweet child endured for 12 long hours. Rest in peace little man, in the arms of Our Savior.
Thank you for exposing sexual predators Scott, women and children especially need to be aware and prepared for such attacks. Some of us wait until it is too late. Grateful for your work.
Learn some basic self defense. Just because females or kids are smaller don't mean they can't hurt a attacker. All men have testicles. With a tap it hurts like hell, with a solid kick, punch etc it'll usually take the fight out of him. Paul Vunack taught navy Seals the Rat technique. It's online. He's in his 60s now and I'd not want to fight him unless I was far away with a rifle. There's alot of self defense weapons to help or just plain car keys. There's alot of things ppl can use that's cheap and effective and not obvious. Be safe and be strong.
Scott you have such a heart of gold. This story made me sad! This little guy didnt deserve that! Love when you put the car on the grave! RIP Emmanuel
I stood there that day when they were tearing that building down tears streaming down my face so relieved they finally tore it down and I placed a flower there for Emanuel. Memories came back when I stood there with many others protesting in 77 after we left City Hall. 44 years ago today and up until August 1st I was glued to my CB radio along with hundreds of others in the hopes that he would be found safe and sound. I had heard many many years ago that he also shoe shined just above Gerrard & Yonge where the cement arch still stands where I put a flower every year and put my hand on it every time I walk by
Hi Scott. I managed to source Robert Hoshowsky's book last year on Emanuel Jaques' murder. Thank you so much for for doing this video. This young boy's murder should never have happened - he came from a hard work immigrant family and because of his conscientious work ethic, he was trying to make cash to assist his family.
The next time I travel to Toronto, I will make a point of travelling to Emanuel's grave to pay my respects.
Regards from Ireland.
I was in high school, and just 2 years older than Emanuel Jaques, aka: shoeshine boy. I remember this story vividly. It was so sad and so scary.
Emanuel was such a sweet, innocent and hard working boy. It is horrifying to think of what he endured at the hands of his captors. 💔😢
Thank you for this touching and informative reflection of Emanuel's life. It is so sweet and thoughtful of you to place a Hot Wheel's car at his grave.
May he Rest in Heavenly Peace 💙🙏🤍
So sad a little boy gone in that manner. This one really got to me. He had so much more life ahead of him. A little boy who was wanting to help his family. Thank you for sharing his story. RIP Emanuel Jaques
My uncles was very close friends with one of the officers on this poor boys case. There was some information that was never released to the public that makes this case all the more heartbreaking. From what I was told, it was mostly kept from the family too.
Oh that is so awful. What that kid went through that day is beyond sickening!!!! God Bless little Emanuel. May his soul rest forever in Heaven. Amen.
I was able to visit the grave of this poor mouse earlier today. 💔😥 Thank you for giving your viewers directions to pay our respects. I was one month short of my 14th birthday & I remember seeing this all over the news; I also saw how much it changed Toronto, the city in which I was born. Rest in peace, Emanuel. Ppl who knew of this tragedy will always remember your very existence. xx
Beautiful. Thank you for visiting little Emanuel Randi. ❤️.
@@SCOTTONTAPE Thank you for your reply, Scott. I really enjoy your videos. 👍
What a beautiful child! So horribly sad what happened to him! You did an awesome job telling his story! May he rest in peace!
Scott, I have seen everyone of your videos and this one is the best. The compassion and respect and emotion you show for this young man is extraordinary. Emanuel deserves all the recognition he can get. What a beautiful Angel
First time ever hearing this story. Very sad story 😔 I can’t imagine the agony Emmanuel went through and the parents to lose a child like this.
Absolutely horrific. It’s really crazy that no one heard him. At just 12 years old too. He was a little guy so sad. My heart aches for his family. This was a great video Scott. 🌹
Side note: I remember shopping Sam the Record Man and eating at Mr. Submarine. Downtown T has really changed. Unbelievable. ❤️ Great job.
I work 15 mins away from where this happened. A few years ago I went to the building which would have been the spot where he died and said a silent prayer for him. I was 11 when this happened.
It happens to those good children good ppl to be so trusting which is my problem thinking we can trust everyone i was never taught anything at 72
I am frightened around ppl I don’t know now
Hi Scott 🖐🏼. This video really tugged At My heart, I only have one child.(My Son). And I couldn't imagine someone doing this to my child. Even though he's A GROWN Man NOW. I'd still die for My one AND ONLY Son. I hope And pray nothing but the best for HIS Family. This is so sad, AND so tragic beyond belief. If they wanted sex so bad, WHY didn't they just rape each other ⁉️ Thanks so much for sharing the details with US. Have a great evening scott.stay safe out there ‼️🙋🏿♀️.
I would say my heart is hurting, but my whole body is sinking, feeling this horrific crime. It's hard to think of these disgusting individuals as being "human" beings. Some of these videos that you do are really hard to watch yet it's important that we do. Just as you are compelled to tell them, we listen to honor that person, in this case, Emanuel Jacques. I was glad there were flowers there. I believe Emanuel loves the Hot Wheels car. I could feel your sadness and that resonated a great deal as a viewer. Thank you for honoring the precious life of young Emanuel, may he rest in peace.
Very sad. You told the story very well. I started crying when you put the car on the grave. That was very sweet of you. Such a precious life taken so young and in such a horrible way. May the monsters never see the light of day. Thanks again Scott I had no idea about this story.
The car made me cry....this was so sad
Great job Scott
I vividly remember this horrible story back in the day. I was the same age as Emanuel and we were told to not ever talk to strangers. It was a big story. Thanks for reminding us and showing how Yonge street looked back then compared to now.
Scott, a difficult murder to cover. You did a nice job. Emanuel Jaques should never be forgotten. I was 18 when this happened and I recall it well. Finally a book has been written Outraged by Robert J. Hoshowky 2017. Unfortunately it is out of print. Couldn't find any used to purchase. The Toronto library has 6 copies thankfully. This book should be reprinted. Emanuel and all Yonge St.was in the 70's should be remembered. Thank you for making this remembrance. Every kid loved Hot wheels back then. Blessings...
Thank you.. from the portuguese community 🇵🇹 🇨🇦 ❤️
And to say that you have (NO REMORSE) FOR WHAT YOU DID ‼️ REALLY F----D ME UP‼️GOD IS WAITING FOR ALL OF THEM‼️‼️‼️💔💔💔🤨.
wow that is awful. it was hard hearing the details. poor kid.
If he was alive right now, he would have been 55 years old, going on 56 years old, right now.
Emanuel was determined to live! What a tough little man! Great video Scott and thanks for sharing it! I'm sure Emanuels family is happy that he hasn't been forgotten.
Im already feeling emotional today BUT I always Watch Every Video Of Scotts so here I go folks Im going full screen mode!!
Scott I don’t have any words, you’re so unique
Re-watching this today, as it is the 45'Th anniversary of this horrific event. Rest in eternal peace, Emanuel.
I remember this tragic story as a young child on the news media, I wept for this boy, full out sympathy and empathy and prayed for him and his family, as many of us did. I did not ever forget him. I always cringed when walking by that area and Burger King, such a bad energy, some adult clubs down town remained even in the 90s, I felt very uneasy in this area, when going to art school in TO. Toronto was once considered a safe city more than others, one of the most darkest moments in Toronto history. Scott this video, is a very sincere message of honoring his young life in memory.
Child abduction , abuse, trafficking and murder is world wide and continues to this day,, very evil sick , prey on poor children and occasional kidnappings of rich kids. Monsters is an understatement, Pedo crimes are more common that we know sadly, the positive thing that came out of this is the streets in the area the business closed down at this time and glad you had mentioned this.
Im from the UK. Ive watched a few of your videos this type of subject and agree this hit me. I then realised that in 1977 (aged 7) I was visiting family in Toronto exactly 6 months to the day before the murder took place and I remember seeing photos of the red light district my family took while there and it's chilling to know all the people involved were probably in the area at the time and what it was like.
I am the same age as Emmanuel, I recall this as if it was yesterday. We went to the protest at City Hall. I also went to see the Funeral arriving at the Church.
Very sad and tragic. I heard about this as a kid in the 80's. My mom told me about stranger danger.
Sam the record man was my favorite record store. Used to wait hours outside on boxing day back in the 80s. This story always haunts me. I am 1 year younger than Emanuele and I was just as tiny and scrawny. Heard about him in the 80s and I never forgot him. his poor brother must be living w extreme guilt leaving him alone to make a phone call home. Looked like a kid I would have been friends with. RIP sweet boy.❣️
Scott, excellent job my friend..this hits home (literally) big time..I'm 55, from Niagara Falls Ont. and was 10 when this happened..I'll never forget my mom who was a social worker at the time, telling me about this horrible event. I could see in her face how (even after her years and years of dealing with children of abuse, broken homes and dead beat parents) she was absolutely shaken and filled with sadness. Now that I have 2 boys (10 and 8) of my own, I can only imagine what she felt looking at me at the age of 10..this event had such a huge impact on all us Ontario boys from that point on..everywhere parents were warning their children to beware of strangers, and not to trust adults even if an incentive is offered and to stay in groups..etc etc..it's so nice how you remembered him and made the journey to his resting place..I spent a lot of time in TO in the 80's as a teenager as Yonge St. was fun St. as you know. I did however tend to stick to places like Sam's A&A's, Big Slice, MLG Leaf Games and the arcades as this event was always over one's shoulder..I just recently stumbled across you channel and have to admit that now after living 30+yrs in Europe, it's nice to spend some time watching your channel and remember my roots..I really enjoyed your Tim Horton episode..all the best, peace out man..Andrew
I was 11 living in North York. We spent our summers walking the strip from Bloor to the Eaton Centre. Joke shops, Sams, Mr Sub. My mom worked at Old Angelo’s Restaurant on Elm st. This event changed all of that. Toronto changed overnight. There is a documentary on this. I miss Maple Leaf Gardens, House Of Lords, Joke Shops, Exhibition. Sad.
I remember House Of Lords! Always wanted to get my hair cut there. Sounds like you’re a bit older than me but lived pretty much the same Toronto suburb kid existence that I did!
I miss MLG the most even tho it’s still there. I recently went for a walk through it filming everything and went into all these cool parts I don’t think I was supposed to lol. Nothing like downtown Toronto. Thanks for watching man
What is the documentary called? I remember watching a great documentary about this but never found it again. I remember seeing Emmanuelle mom passing out during the ceremony and had to be carried. I can't even imagine the horror that family lives every single day
Such a sad story and terrible act. I feel for him and what he went through and what his family is going through. RIP young man 💜💜💜
What a heartbreaking story your producing and editing is done uniquley in a way to honor that poor boy such a sad story
Poor kid..there are too many disgusting, evil people in our planet!
I remember those message parlors everywhere on Young St. in the 70's. I have not been back to Toronto, oh wait it was just two years ago that I was there. Thanks for posting.
There are no words! Makes me sick to my stomach! RIP Baby Boy!
This video brought tears. Scott you are a beautiful soul. Ty💛
Poor sweet baby, its hard but I'm glad you made this video Scott. Shining a light on this boy, I have been to that Vans store many times and had no idea, I will now think of him when I pass by. You are not forgotten Emanual! Glad those pigs are rotting in jail.
Toronto is awesome and Canadians are amazing people. Can’t wait to go back to visit! 🇨🇦
This is so scary, I feel so bad for this little boy. Just looking at his picture I get very emotional.
Rest in Peace Emanuel Jaques 😔🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
What a caring man you really are!!!
Awe man he was a baby. Poor kid, Your awesome on how you have so much respect and clean graves💙
Hey Scott, JD here from the Philippines. Been a subscriber since your video of Gram Parsons and this video moved me even more than GP. Thanx man. Always look forward to your work. Please stay safe buddy.
So sad and awful RIP Angel ❤
Scott,you are so compassionate,thank you,you’re a good man.I’m binge watching over a cold winters weekend here in Maine.Bless you 😢
Thank you Scott, it's must have been a difficult one for you but you did it with grace & dignity. The little car was a beautiful touch. Cheers mate.
Never knew about poor sweet Emanuel until seeing this. I'm so devastated and how he suffered until his last breath. I hope his killers rot in hell. Scott, you always amaze me with the utmost respect and history you provide. I really admire you for what you do.
Scott, I’m a new subscriber and have been binge watching. This particular episode really got me. I’m from Toronto. I was born in 1965, and I frequented the Yonge/Dundas are at the time for the arcade. This story is very sad to hear but you told it very well with respect. I’m hooked on your channel now. God bless.
Poor little boy 😔😢 I go back at that time , because I was born in ‘64 as well . It makes me think of all the times I walked alone . Thank You for sharing Scott
Hey Scott I went to Emanuel grave site today and left a Christmas present with a card and candy cane .
Your hot wheels car is there along side the one I left for Emanuel may he R.I.P.
GOD BLESS YOU
SONS OF PORTUGAL
RICARDO
Oh wow thank you for telling me that Ricardo . And bless you for leaving that for little Emanuel.
Scott
I grew up on toronto carlaw and queen born in 1963 1 year older than Emanual.Me and my freinds used to go to Sams every couple of weekends via street car then walk up young.
When this happened my parents did not talk much but I heard what happened through my freinds. My parents talked about it very quetly so we the choldren could not hear. My father ended up selling the house on Heward ave in 1978 and we moved to mississuaga I believe because of this horrific murder.
I have to go back next saturday forgot to bring a rosery if you want we can met there of not ots cool .

Scott I cannot get over this case. It is absolutely terrifying that someone could do that to a child.
This story is so heartbreaking. I'm actually from Toronto as well and I honestly never knew about this case. I used to work at yonge dundas square too. Now everytime when I'm in that area I will definitely think of Emmanuel Jaques. Such a innocent kid was just trying to help his family. Those disgusting monsters on little Emmanuel. It just irritates my soul. How can you do that to a little child... I hope they burn in hell.
Well done on the video Scott. It was very heartwarming when you put the little hot wheels car on his grave. God bless you. ❤🙏🏽
At this time of year,in August, I always think of Emmanuel, especially in the last two weeks,every year since 1977. It was so horrible,it was cruel.It was beyond words!
I remember,how it was covered in the Portuguese media here and across the world,it shook the entire Portuguese community's around the world,they couldn't believe it that something like this horrible could happen in Canada...
So many of us were not allowed to go anywhere near Young Street. All the extra street smarts that kicked in....such an ugly horrible feeling that families,parents had,for the safety of young children.
Emmanuel sweet boy rest in peace !
Thank you for making this video and doing it with care and respect.
I live in Toronto and when I seen this story I couldn’t believe my heart you remembered this little Portuguese shoe shine boy may God bless you four respectively remembering him I was the same age when the summer day my parents locked me in the house Scott Thanks 🙏 🙏
You’re welcome and thank you for watching John✌🏽✌🏽
I work 5 mins from where he was killed. I never knew where exactly he was taken or killed. I have gone to the burger king so many times never knowing little Emmanuelle died just next door.
So beautiful you put the car there for him scott, poor boy, such a horrific ending to his young life 😔
Scott, you have given such a beautiful respectful presentation on such a heinous crime. Thank youi for helping us remember this little boy who was demonstrating he was going to be an active member of his community for the good. The fleas that robbed him of his potential achievements can NEVER measure up to his little toe let alone his character. I appreciated the depth of the feelings you were feeling presenting this vlogg. Blessings to you and darling little Emanuel. Keep up the great work of helping us to remember those who would be forgotten and only remember by the scum and their actions. God bless and thank you.
This video legit made me cry, R.I.P. Emanuel Jaques
Heart wrenching and upsetting to watch.
Rest in peace Emanuel Jaques.
The hot wheels car was sweet Scott.
Every since I heard about this my heart has been broken over this beautiful child, I pray for his family and for his spirit that he is at peace and that he was loved and is still loved and missed by so many. R.I.P. sweet angel.
I’m trying to get through this but my heart is breaking….this poor child😢….Scott I love how you tell us these stories with so much love & respect….Thank You,🙏🏻
Thanks Scott for this such a heartbreaking story. R.I. P Emanuel Jacques
So sad that a beautiful boy suffered so much. RIP young man you are in Gods hands forever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Came across this video today on October 8th 2022. What would have been Emanuel's 58th birthday. Happy heavenly birthday little one, may you continue to rest in peace 🕊️ ❤️
Jesus Scott. great job. I remember this as I was still living in the city then. I forgot the details. Thanks for being so real about it.
So sensitively covered ... again well done Scott.
True Crime and Unsolved Crime and Cold Case concerning Canada much less TO, make us realise that those places are not ''the good''. Thank-you for telling the short life story of this child.
So sad!! RIP little one!! So horrible!! Senseless!! His poor family!! So nice of some one to give the family there grave for Emmanuel!! Great job Scott!! The hot wheels was priceless!! Love you and your videos!! God bless that little boy!! 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was looking through your videos last month & was shocked to see this one. Ìt was talked about frequently in my family here in Montreal.
As per the internet, Woods died in prison in April 2003, after being denied parole four times. Kribs and Betesh apparently remain incarcerated; Betesh was most recently turned down for parole in 2020.
Thank you so much for telling Emanuels story.
I agree how you honor the graves you visit. And the history of the person. I like the placing of rocks and things to show respect. Thank you for all you do to honor people.
This was a hard one. I cried through most of it. I'm still wiping my eyes. He was born 4 months before me. I have no words, only tears. RIP Emanuel, you're safe now. 😇💐🚗💖
Wooooo... there are a lot of memories for me at Yonge/Dundas. I remember this poor kid, RIP, Emanuel.
Hi, I left a comment last night on another video saying how much I love your videos. But I have to comment again tonight on this one because you really touched my heart when you took just a few seconds to clean off his grave a little. It may just be something small, but it really shows how much these stories and people mean to you. I've seen you do it another time, and it really is such a nice and touching thing to do.
So, thanks again for bringing these stories and people to us. 😊
Growing up Portuguese ( I was born Nov 1977) Emanuel’s murder was always a cautionary tale for us, it really affected the community. Heartbreaking that his parents came to Canada from the Azores like my parents did to give their kids a better life only for these monsters to be waiting for him 😢
Scott you just made me cry when you put that car on his grave. Emanuel's family would really appreciate that you care so much.
Thank you Scott for bringing us this story of Emanuel. Your compassion and caring nature is so amazing. I really liked the rocks for him and the Matchboc car, he is smiling down from heaven.😊
Super awesome leaving the hot wheels. Where I live I was the same age as Jacob Wetterling and that shook our community to its core. It would be wonderful to see you do a video on him maybe one day. RIP Emanuel, I truly hope you found bliss in heaven and I'm glad most of your captors are still being punished.
I was 13 when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday. It gave me nightmares.
I was 12 also when this happened and is an event that I remember like it was yesterday. I always thought that the bathhouse was Just north of Sam’s. The Vans store was a McDonalds for the longest time. This story always brings sad memories back but is important to remind us how terrible people can be. Thanks for sharing this story.
My father is buried in the same cemetery as Emmanuel, but, on the Bayview Ave., side, whereas Emmanuel is on the Yonge St. side.
Where my father is buried, there are a couple of small children & babies buried too. It is so heartbreaking to see.
It was the Italian community that was outraged. Their outrage sparked the clean up of Yonge Street.
I remember the Toronto Sun News coverage.
Maybe the Italians were too (actually probably all the communities were), however Emmanuel Jacques was Portuguese.
@@splashenful You are right. Public outrage made the difference. Changes
came soon after.
I've lived in Burlington ON for most of my life and I've never heard of this case? Thanks for sharing Scott, extremely heart breaking.
So sad he didn't deserve that hopefully he's resting in Pease gone but not forgotten
I've never been personally, but this area reminds me of time square for some reason. Such a sad story. I hope that little boys soul is resting in peace 😢❤.
I still remember this story. Lot's of people stormed into the mayor's office and wanted the death penalty. This is one sad story.
