I know, he remembered step by step also, even though it was over 30 years ago. I couldn't remember that well what I had done in 5 years prior. Yes, it's disturbing.
She's buried in Portland Oregon, not Seattle. I was going to UCLA at the time when this happened, it was (and still is) such a creepy and sad story. Well done.
He absolutely LOVED ❤️ what he did!! And, then replaying it in his mind over and over, again!! He's basically BRAGGING about what he did to her!!! So Sad! 😢 😭 and Heartbreaking 💔💔!!!! So Young and Beautiful!!! RIP Rebecca Shaffer!!! Taken way too soon!!! 💐🪴🍃🌸🍃🌺🍃🌼🍃🏵️🍃💮🍃🌈✨🦄🦋
I remember reading somewhere that after Bardo was incarcerated, he wrote a letter at some point to Mark David Chapman and Chapman said Bardo’s letter was “one of the most disturbing he’d ever read” and he never wrote back. Bardo must be a special kind of crazy if he’s even making the guy who shot John Lennon nervous.
She was waiting on the delivery of the script of The Godfather 3. That's why she kept coming down to answer the door. She was up for the role of Mary Corleone, which eventually went to Winona Ryder, who dropped out and was replaced by Sofia Coppola. She had so much promise.
The psycho killer is enjoying himself while recounting his killing of Rebecca, Very bizarre scene. The "detective" who gave Rebecca's home address to the killer, has her blood in his hands too. She made a terrible mistake coming outside to talk with that psychopath. It was horrific how he killed her, she was a total stranger, but he was obsessed with her. That man is pure evil and never should be in the streets again.
She was expecting a courier to drop off the script for The Godfather movie, which she had a screen test for the part of Maria. Thinking that’s why she went down to this monster twice 😢
The opening credits of My Sister Sam is just so nostalgic. The thing that really bugs me about this case is that there were so many opportunities to avoid this tragedy. It seems to be the same with all these stalker related killings. The guy could have been stopped so many times...
She was a beautiful young lady she was born the same year I was born and she did not deserve to die the way she did the horrible guy that did this horrible act should have gotten the death penalty
I remember this very clearly. It always stuck with me i was in high school and it just was one of the events that i could understand it could happen to anyone. RIP REBECCA . A tragedy that shouldn't have happened. Thanks Michael always done with respect!🕸🦇🕷👻🎃
Just feel so bad that a young girl who was really just beginning to shine and take off towards her potential died this way.. im glad laws changed, it amazes me that a private investigator would just agree to hand over information like that!! Thanks for another fascinating visit to Hollywood history, your videos are always respectful, and tastefully done!! 🙏🏽🎃❤️🔥
Laws changed for Celebrities. Anyone else your at the Mercy of Public Information. Your Name or License plate number is all it takes for someone to get your information everywhere else. Older Men I use to work with would ask me out and I would look up their License plate to see if they were lying about not being married. Sure enough all would come back to registered to a couple or an address, then the taxes of the address would be to a couple. Smh Public Data should be for police
I find it hard to believe the PI could have talked to that guy and not have seen that something was off. He probably didn't think it would go that far but he had to know he was getting paid to tell this guy where he could go harass her and didn't care.
literally anyone can become a private investigator, Ive known total goofs who did drugs who were also pi's. It's kind of a sham, you just pay some money basically and then get the license.
That poor girl, alot of missed opportunities here to stop a psycho like Bardo. Such a senseless tragic loss of a young & upcoming actress. Rip Rebecca 😢
@@jamesmacaw3865yes because boy are the only ones who are stalkers. Women do it to if not way more than man the difference is when a woman does it it’s considered cool and cute.
I was in LA a month after this happened and inadvertently passed by her house and there was still loose crime scene tape twisted on the outside shrubbery. I didn’t know it had happened until the friend I was visiting told me. We were exactly the same age and I loved her and the show. I was stunned.
Wow that is crazy! I just remember being a young girl watching her. I thought she was so pretty and I loved her hair! It is crazy how easy things were back then. She was a celebrity and should have been more secured. It amazes me that he was just easily able to go to the DMV and just access all of her personal information and clearly just by looking at that man you can see he was disturbed! I would not have given him anything and probably called authorities right from the DMV!
Long time viewer, first time commenting on a video. Love all the work you put into these videos! I have watched some a few times over. Keep up the great work! Happy Halloween 🎃 👻
She's not buried in Seattle, she's actually buried in Portland, Oregon. She's in a small Jewish cemetery, I've been there and seen her grave. I thought Lyle Alzado was buried there too, (most famous for playing for the LA Raiders), but I just looked it up and he's buried in Riverview Cemetery, a big cemetery in Portland. My grandfather is interred there. Virgil Earp (brother to Wyatt) is in Riverview also.
I was born 7 years after Rebecca's death but sadly, Christina Grimme was the next female to get killed by her stalker so not much has changed, we know that this world is full of crazy people.
I was born the same year she died. Its crazy thinking about how advanced the world become. If it was the movies coming back from death, she would be mind boggled.
OMG!! 😱 Didn't know that!!! Maybe that's why, he wasn't charged for the things he did...!!!! But, I'm so happy Bardo got LIFE!!! That's so True!! Her Death is the Only reason there's Stalker Laws!!! It's a crying 😭 shame!!!
Wow, that's Marcia Clark at the trial. Seeing him so happy and excited to have seen her, not acknowledging that she's gone is freaky. Such a tragic situation that changed so much, but there's still so much that is unchanged. Stalkers still get away with so much.
Because men create laws and most laws are not created to protect women. MeToo was a distraction and nothing has really changed since. Women need to protest for stricter laws and birth control for men (amongst other things).
Some people *really* let television delude them! Many people who watched *Gilligan's Island* were utterly convinced that it was real-even though they saw opening and closing credits and commercial bumpers! (Seriously) Hickam Air Force Base, Pearl Harbor, and Schofield Barracks in Hawaii often receive calls reporting "7 Americans stranded on desert isle, please rescue them!" 🥴
Good morning. Love your channel and videos. Rebecca is actually buried in Portland Oregon. She’s buried at the Ahavai Sholom Cemetery. Have a great day.
I remember this show and how sad it was when this happened. It’s so hard to believe that there was ever a time when getting the addresses of celebrities was so easy. I think I’ve read that other people actually advised Rebecca that she should live somewhere with better security, but I don’t think she saw herself as this huge star; she was down to earth in that way. Also, I’ve read that Pam Dauber was devastated by her death and never really got over it. The only bright spot in this whole thing is that her murderer won’t ever be able to hurt anyone else in this way.
There’s a reason a lot of celebrities live in condos now. We had a few professional ball players in a condo my company managed, and dealt with a couple scary situations with female stalkers. If our front desk wasn’t there to fend that off, there’s no telling what could have happened.
This guy was really off balance. I think the private detective should have been found as an accessory to this crime. There is no way I believe he talked with Bardo and honestly didn’t realize he was unstable.
Hey grimmlifecollective the one who killed Rebecca Schaefer is the guy still alive in jail for life and on the video he look like he was in joying every moment of his convention in the courts interview no remorse a sick brain of a man so gruesome history and Madness bad stalker and thank you for the history our best RUclipsr ever our grimmlifecollective and we all hope Rebecca Schaeffer rest in peace💜
That was Marcia Clark’s voice from the OJ trial prosecuting this case. It was a very sad case. I remember watching the show and liking it. So much potential.
Yep I remember reading about the case in her book and how she nailed this creep. So in the trial bits I listened for her voice and immediately recognized her.
I was like wow Marcia Clark! Rebecca’s murder shook the area and I remember when this happened, people were shocked and outraged. Sadly this should have never happened to her.
you can tell this man was mentally unstable from him recounting what happened. His movements his voice. Really wish Rebecca wouldn't have come out again that second time...wish it would have clicked it was a bit weird and not open that door. wish she would have gone back to her apartment and called the cops. Such a tragedy that shouldn't have happened.
@@rachelraquel758 The first time, maybe yes. The second time he came back, she recognized him as being him and should have just went and called the police.
If I'd saw that dude the second time after I send him away I wouldn't darn open that door but to call the cops instead,poor girl doesn't aware death is knocking her door. May her soul rest in peace and for that piece of shit we'll let God take care of the rest. 🌷🕊
I believe it is a kind of morbid fantasy: by murdering someone, you have them for the rest of your life and no one else ever can. Truly tragic and depressing.
I remember growing up this was mine and my mom’s favorite show to watch together. I remember coming home from school one day and my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong. She sat me down and told me what happened to Rebecca. I remember feeling like I just lost a big sister. I was devastated.
It took me a couple of days to watch this one, for personal reasons. I really enjoyed My Sister Sam back then. I started watching it because of Pam Dawber, from Mork and Mindy, but Rebecca was the reason I kept watching - she was pretty, talented, charismatic, funny, and very charming. When this happened, it was the first time I had experienced the murder of celebrity who captivated me, and it really affected me deeply. I was so pissed that this guy was not only able to gain access to her, but to be given vital information to track her down. Even now watching his confession some 30+ years later I feel angry that he committed such a heinous act and was helped along the way. She had such a bright future and this nutjob took it all away in seconds. RIP Rebecca.
I feel the same way. Rebecca was a standout. She was so good that I wondered what she had acted in before and was surprised to find out how new she was to acting. Then this horrible thing happened. The whole cast adored her. Oh, what might have been 😔
She was about to audition for the role of Michael's daughter in "The Godfather Part III". Who knows if she would have gotten it or if that audition would have led to other work for her. One of the great "what if's" in Hollywood history.
Actually Rebecca is buried in Portland Oregon at a Jewish cemetery called Ahavai Sholom Cemetery. Her birth place was Eugene Oregon so she's come back home to rest in peace.
I think all people that committed murder should be put down not given free room and food in prisons rip to this young lady I remember seeing this on the news when it happened
Sorry, but I'm not familiar with this sad story (born in '87 & I live in Australia), so I appreciate you doing this video as she does deserve to be remembered. RIP.
I vaguely recall her from Class Struggle which I went out on a date to see the week it opened, oy vey, what a date movie that was! LOL! But I haven't seen the movie in decades. I don't recall that TV show at all.
I wish people would realize that celebrities are just people who act for a living. Keith Richards said once that when he became famous, he couldn't walk down the street anymore without people bothering him. He turned to heroin to cope. After reading that, I decided to NEVER ask for an autograph again and just treat them like I treat anyone else.
This is the first video I have viewed from many that just left me deep in thought. Rebecca Schaeffer at the age of 21 in 1989. She was looking at a long spell of a career which we will now never know how it developed. Her murder just seemed to act out his crime as if it was a fantasy to him. This guy is just beyond believe. Sadly to say I was just 18/19 when her life was ended by a demented fan. This really saddens myself. R.I.P. Rebecca, may god bless your soul.
Such a terrible tragedy. Rebecca had a lot of potential and very well could have been a very successful award winning actress. I've often wondered what is it with psychos and Catcher in the Rye 🤔 I've read it, and must say I wasn't impressed.
Hey guys. I'd never heard about this case until I watched this. It was very chilling especially the way the killer just comes across so cold and it doesn't appear he shows any remorse for his unspeakable actions. Absolutely tragic what happened. Amazing how you do these videos and always so respectful too. Stay safe 🖤👽👻🎃
This is a very tragic story indeed, RIP Rebecca. Even more concerning is how our society since then had continue to go downhill, here and around the world with hate, war and with people in political offices/leaders not being held accountable for their actions etc. I hope in the future it will change for the best, but something tells me we will have to hit rock bottom before it does. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts/video about this tragic event.
Just this morning my lady and I were watching TV about Florida, spring break ... growing up everyone loved spring break. Looked forward to it etc..... NOW, ANIMALS run the show. Spring break has become a scum zoo animal sewer with a bunch of shootouts every night. I agree with you. Every time we turn on the news Animals killing, raping, destroying once beautiful neighborhoods. I live in a once great neighborhood. My lady and I sit outside enjoying the backyard for 9 years. All of a sudden. Animals start showing up, moving in like ants on food. Blasting garbage music so loud the police are called every weekend. Music we cant even understand what the f**k they are saying at all. Our Town now is ruined. No one can say anything about it. You are correct. 100% POINT OF NO RETURN. No one. No politician, political party, sports star, entertainer etc ... will change it. The ANIMALS HAVE 100% taken over with dirt, death and scum and our country is completely ruined.
We're ruled by evil and most people don't seem able to see them. So even when we hit rock bottom we still won't shake them off. Just a bunch of oligarchs and wannabe commissars.
Such a sad ending to her life when it was just beginning.I remember this when it actually happened in 89’.Yesterday I painted suites right next to the actual suite from where the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay massacre shooting happened 4 years ago .Creepy vibe in that hallway and suite next door.
I vaguely remember seeing my sister Sam maybe a couple episodes but after that they never showed it anymore I was too little to understand that but lead actress was murdered during that time. What was shocking to me was how this creep got her address going to the DMV paying a couple of dollars.... To kill her after her death stalking laws got taken very seriously especially in California also he stalked a couple of other entertainers 80 singers Stacey q and Tiffany
@James SS Nowadays people force themselves to look older, especially girls with make up and plastic surgery. People back then looked older without even trying. Thanks for the reply.
It is such a shame that it takes a tragedy like this to happen before laws are changed. This young woman had her whole life ahead of her a plus had started a very successful career and was cut short by her senseless murder... SAD!!!😢
Ominous that you were visited by a crow in this video. Like being visited by the spirit of Rebecca watching over you, if you believe in that kind of thing.
Another long term viewer and great work with the video as usual! I have to say though it really annoys me and I do find it hard how this SOB got to do this to this young girl! How on earth could whoever was in that room with him when he was confessing to the murder, not wanna beat the crap out of him there and then!!?? He deserved that! Thank God the laws have changed with these Stalkers nowadays! Keep up the good work and happy Halloween!
It's only fitting that a Raven is watching over the spot she died at and is hawking away. Great video as always, it's sad how people like that cannot control their emotions, I personally blame it on parenting, I think it all starts at ground 0.
@@garethjames1300 Personal responsibility is a question of ethics and morality but if you are raised in a family that hates the world and abuses the system and hates on all other humans and takes everything they can grab and is incredibly selfish then you get a world like we live in today with people stealing with no self control, people throwing trash on the street and spraying graffiti on buildings and driving aggresively on the road, and destroying public places and just abuse of everyone else in society and break everything out of hate. This is failure of parenting, a failure of order in society. Once this is problem it is very hard to fix. The USA like all countries has financial ups and downs we are not different, did people in Japan, Korea and China not suffer during COVID of course even worse as they got very little help from their government if not nothing at all and look at what happened here in the USA, riots, destruction, chaos, why?
As a former First Responder for 13 years in LA, deadly violence, road rage spikes between late June til early September in the USA/Canada, then again from early December to early January. Just check out statistics available online or your public library. Those 3 months stress out police, sheriffs, park rangers, ambulance units, fire departments worldwide, especially early December til early January. Thanks for asking that Sandra.
I remember first hearing about this sad incident when another up and coming star Christina Grimmie was gunned down by another deranged fan at her own meet and greet session after her show in 2016...and even with anti Stalking laws being in place since the 90s things haven't changed much. Like just last year an instagram model from Texas was killed by a fan who was stalking her online with his obsessive comments to her and being a hacker at that, until one day he travelled across state lines from Florida all the way to the models home in Texas and then stabbed her to death inside her house...and then later on the father of the model found the stalker inside her house stabbing himself to death. Hearing about Rebecca Schaeffer really hit me hard and it's ashame that it took a phychopathic fan to steal her life away. She probably would have been one of the top stars in hollywood today if she was still hear with us. The law should have acted quicker after the Teresa Saldana and John Lennon case. Robert John Bardo should have got the death penalty, not life in prison but I guess that's the way of the most high torturing his soul until judgement day. May have soul rest in perfect peace! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Such a sad story. With Dorothy Stratton 1980, Dominique Dunne 1982 and Rebecca Schaeffer 1989... 2022 and nothing has changed. After Stratton & Dunne, Schaeffer should not have happened. I know stalkers and ex's are different "beast" but these 3 were all victims of men who thought they had some kind of "rights" to these young ladies! So... over and over these things happen, all sorts of laws and industry policies have been implemented - to no avail. It's heartbreaking. 😪
@nomiddlenamenmn427 I think Dominique's murder was more devastated. Rebecca's murder was tragic but at least it got justice and the killer is behind bars. Where's Dominique's killer served only 3 years and living as a free man til this day.
Rebecca Schaeffer was a superstar in the making on television and it all ended at the hands of a bad man. Anyone alive back then remembers how popular Rebecca had become and was the darling of the sitcoms. It was unfortunate that she never got to see where her talent would take her but she did do a lot in the little time she had. Rest In Peace, Rebecca.
I remember looking up to her she was so vibrant and beautiful she was a few years older than me at the time. But I was in shock and so sad that something like this could happen to young woman like her.
You do realize that crow is the spirit of Rebecca Schaeffer telling you "Right on!" for making this video, right? Tragic story, good coverage. So many seriously fucked up people out there today... Stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be, man.
Another great, heartfelt video from you, Michael! Sadly, Rebecca's young age, and accompanied naiveté, is what caused this tragedy to occur. An older, more experienced celebrity would never answer the door blindly like that. Very tragic indeed. She had so much going for her.
She was expecting a script to be delivered. That’s why she went to the door, but yes, I’d want to make sure I knew for sure who was there before I’d go to the door. I’ve been stalked and it made me paranoid. I almost never answer my door anymore. My own family has to text or call to let me know when they’re outside my door!
pure evil why he not get the dearh sentence... beautiful young woman not with us any more thank you Michael i did not know of her killing .... RIP REBECCA
When you become popular... You become the target. It's the cost to pay enjoying the fame. Need to keep out strangers. No wonder famous people never entertain stranger fans, regardless of their motives.
That PI should have been found culpable, a creepy looking guy, and he is really creepy looking, asked him to find the address of a starlet and he didn't think it was suspicious or worrying? I cry foul, nothing was stopping him from using the same info and alerting her, or somebody at least. You know Lee Harvey Oswald owned a copy of the Catcher in the Rye as well? it's a cursed book I tell ya. And why is there always ravens around when you're filming? I swear if you visited the Tower of London there'd be some kind of ravensplosion.
Wow absolutely crazy. I do remember when this happened it was all over the news, i was around 21 yrs old myself. Excellent job detailing the events grimmlife.
I just passed by her home recently.we actually live in the same neighborhood. very sad. i'm shocked she opened the door TWICE fort his guy. he looked insane
Exactly. I have been around a few celebrities. I smile and only speak if they speak to me first. I am careful when I say I love their work and thank them. So far, all of them have been kind. I know I am a harmless fan, but I want them to feel that, too. This video is extremely well done.
I love your videos. When I saw the crow I remembered something about crows. Crows show up to let you know that there are spiritual shifts happening around you and remind you to pay attention to the spiritual messages that are sent to guide you. They represent transformation, cycles, psychic tools, and insight into unseen realms. I feel that somehow Rebecca was there when you were making the video.
I thought the same thing! It took me a day or so of thinking about it to post but while I was watching the video I got chills as soon as I saw it! I was just skimming the comments to see if I was the only one that noticed! Glad I’m not!
I still remember when this happened. Such a sad story! What's creepy is the lyrics from the theme song My Sister Sam "Everything starts like a knock at the door You don't know what it is but you know who it's for"
Wow
I noticed that, too. Chilling.
I thought the same thing
Holy shit!
In her case everything ended with a knock at the door
The way the killer is remembering and describing the scene was… disturbing.
I know, he remembered step by step also, even though it was over 30 years ago. I couldn't remember that well what I had done in 5 years prior. Yes, it's disturbing.
It’s pretty normal
She's buried in Portland Oregon, not Seattle. I was going to UCLA at the time when this happened, it was (and still is) such a creepy and sad story. Well done.
Such a sad, tragic story. I didn’t know any of this and I was quite moved by your telling of it, thanks.
That’s why guns should be banned in America
@@adamwebbartistwriterwebb7760 That’s exactly what was going though my mind. Amen to that, Adam, I’m with you all the way.
The timing of the bird….😳
Rebecca did not die in vain . California now has the strictest stalking laws in the nation .
Can you imagine the last few seconds of her life. Pure shock and horror
Note she was the original choice for godfather part three Michael's daughter
Just looking at Bardo shows he’s not right.
Watching that guy gleefully play out the murder he commited made me so angry for her. That's a human life. RIP Rebecca.
He was almost stabbed to death in prison. He wasn't gloating then.

Interesting note: When Bardo was arrested in Tucson, the arresting officer was Peter Ronstadt, brother of singer Linda Ronstadt.
Wow that is interesting! I didn't know Linda Ronstadt had a brother or that he was a cop!
That was really interesting, well put together thank you!
Hello to the Black bird was cool too!🕊

I heard that....plus I think he's the Sheriff now!
Who cares.
Too many crazies walk amongst us….it’s horrifying 😞
Yeah Lauren boebert Marjorie Taylor Greene just to name a few

Wow, that's Marcia Clark at the trial. Seeing him so happy and excited to have seen her, not acknowledging that she's gone is freaky. Such a tragic situation that changed so much, but there's still so much that is unchanged. Stalkers still get away with so much.
Because men create laws and most laws are not created to protect women. MeToo was a distraction and nothing has really changed since. Women need to protest for stricter laws and birth control for men (amongst other things).
Nothing can be done about stalkers unless they do something. Sad, but true.
Some people *really* let television delude them!
Many people who watched *Gilligan's Island* were utterly convinced that it was real-even though they saw opening and closing credits and commercial bumpers!
(Seriously)
Hickam Air Force Base, Pearl Harbor, and Schofield Barracks in Hawaii often receive calls reporting "7 Americans stranded on desert isle, please rescue them!"
🥴
Good morning. Love your channel and videos. Rebecca is actually buried in Portland Oregon. She’s buried at the Ahavai Sholom Cemetery. Have a great day.
I remember this show and how sad it was when this happened. It’s so hard to believe that there was ever a time when getting the addresses of celebrities was so easy. I think I’ve read that other people actually advised Rebecca that she should live somewhere with better security, but I don’t think she saw herself as this huge star; she was down to earth in that way. Also, I’ve read that Pam Dauber was devastated by her death and never really got over it. The only bright spot in this whole thing is that her murderer won’t ever be able to hurt anyone else in this way.
Yes and another good thing was anti-stalking laws, also threat management became a part of law enforcement.
This was the beginning of 'Stalker' laws, but it was O.J. murdering his wife Nicole, that REALLY DID IT!
There’s a reason a lot of celebrities live in condos now. We had a few professional ball players in a condo my company managed, and dealt with a couple scary situations with female stalkers. If our front desk wasn’t there to fend that off, there’s no telling what could have happened.
This guy was really off balance. I think the private detective should have been found as an accessory to this crime. There is no way I believe he talked with Bardo and honestly didn’t realize he was unstable.
I totally agree.
Agreed💯
Money talks.
Mental illness wasn’t as main stream back than, it was given literally no attention like today.
I agree 👍🏻💯%!!!!
I never even knew who she was, never heard of the show. But because of you, you're keeping her memory alive. Good work my friend :)
Hey grimmlifecollective the one who killed Rebecca Schaefer is the guy still alive in jail for life and on the video he look like he was in joying every moment of his convention in the courts interview no remorse a sick brain of a man so gruesome history and Madness bad stalker and thank you for the history our best RUclipsr ever our grimmlifecollective and we all hope Rebecca Schaeffer rest in peace💜
That was Marcia Clark’s voice from the OJ trial prosecuting this case. It was a very sad case. I remember watching the show and liking it. So much potential.
She is an excellent lawyer
@@Iceis_Phoenix Sarah Paulson did an amazing job portraying her in American Crime Story.
Yep I remember reading about the case in her book and how she nailed this creep. So in the trial bits I listened for her voice and immediately recognized her.
I was like wow Marcia Clark! Rebecca’s murder shook the area and I remember when this happened, people were shocked and outraged. Sadly this should have never happened to her.
Cute show. Rebecca was very appealing in it.
you can tell this man was mentally unstable from him recounting what happened. His movements his voice. Really wish Rebecca wouldn't have come out again that second time...wish it would have clicked it was a bit weird and not open that door. wish she would have gone back to her apartment and called the cops. Such a tragedy that shouldn't have happened.
She came out because she was expecting a script delivery. I believe it was for a Godfather movie, and her intercom wasn’t working.
@@rachelraquel758 The first time, maybe yes. The second time he came back, she recognized him as being him and should have just went and called the police.
If I'd saw that dude the second time after I send him away I wouldn't darn open that door but to call the cops instead,poor girl doesn't aware death is knocking her door. May her soul rest in peace and for that piece of shit we'll let God take care of the rest. 🌷🕊
Hindsight is always 20/20.
- seems to me, if you're really infatuated with someone, you just WORSHIP the ground they walk on, why would you want to kill them?
I believe it is a kind of morbid fantasy: by murdering someone, you have them for the rest of your life and no one else ever can. Truly tragic and depressing.
Rebecca is not buried in Seattle. She’s buried in Portland Oregon
I remember growing up this was mine and my mom’s favorite show to watch together. I remember coming home from school one day and my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong. She sat me down and told me what happened to Rebecca. I remember feeling like I just lost a big sister. I was devastated.
It took me a couple of days to watch this one, for personal reasons. I really enjoyed My Sister Sam back then. I started watching it because of Pam Dawber, from Mork and Mindy, but Rebecca was the reason I kept watching - she was pretty, talented, charismatic, funny, and very charming. When this happened, it was the first time I had experienced the murder of celebrity who captivated me, and it really affected me deeply. I was so pissed that this guy was not only able to gain access to her, but to be given vital information to track her down. Even now watching his confession some 30+ years later I feel angry that he committed such a heinous act and was helped along the way. She had such a bright future and this nutjob took it all away in seconds. RIP Rebecca.
I feel the same way. Rebecca was a standout. She was so good that I wondered what she had acted in before and was surprised to find out how new she was to acting. Then this horrible thing happened. The whole cast adored her. Oh, what might have been 😔
She was about to audition for the role of Michael's daughter in "The Godfather Part III". Who knows if she would have gotten it or if that audition would have led to other work for her. One of the great "what if's" in Hollywood history.
15:10 Hitchcock would be proud.
I thought I had heard a raven. I love ravens!
How stupid was the laws and the people that worked at the DMV in the 80's?
Really stupid
Pretty stupid
Actually Rebecca is buried in Portland Oregon at a Jewish cemetery called Ahavai Sholom Cemetery. Her birth place was Eugene Oregon so she's come back home to rest in peace.
So horrible.I remember that show.they need a fast lane and an electric chair for criminals like this.
I think all people that committed murder should be put down not given free room and food in prisons rip to this young lady I remember seeing this on the news when it happened
15:05 "Death birds" as Scott Michaels would call them. I'm not a fan of birds either, except humming birds they are cute!
Sorry, but I'm not familiar with this sad story (born in '87 & I live in Australia), so I appreciate you doing this video as she does deserve to be remembered. RIP.
Rebecca was my first -and only, teenage crush. She just had that classic ‘80s style: the hair. The clothes. A total bodacious babe!
She was as hot as anyone else on T.V.
I vaguely recall her from Class Struggle which I went out on a date to see the week it opened, oy vey, what a date movie that was! LOL! But I haven't seen the movie in decades.
I don't recall that TV show at all.
I wish people would realize that celebrities are just people who act for a living. Keith Richards said once that when he became famous, he couldn't walk down the street anymore without people bothering him. He turned to heroin to cope. After reading that, I decided to NEVER ask for an autograph again and just treat them like I treat anyone else.
This is the first video I have viewed from many that just left me deep in thought. Rebecca Schaeffer at the age of 21 in 1989. She was looking at a long spell of a career which we will now never know how it developed. Her murder just seemed to act out his crime as if it was a fantasy to him. This guy is just beyond believe. Sadly to say I was just 18/19 when her life was ended by a demented fan. This really saddens myself. R.I.P. Rebecca, may god bless your soul.
Such a terrible tragedy. Rebecca had a lot of potential and very well could have been a very successful award winning actress. I've often wondered what is it with psychos and Catcher in the Rye 🤔 I've read it, and must say I wasn't impressed.
I very clearly remember this. She was so talented and beautiful and I looked up to her. Ugh 💔 Such a shame
Best wishes from Kansas 🖤🌻
Born and raised in Kansas myself
Rebecca is actually buried in Portland Oregon not Seattle.
Hey guys. I'd never heard about this case until I watched this. It was very chilling especially the way the killer just comes across so cold and it doesn't appear he shows any remorse for his unspeakable actions. Absolutely tragic what happened. Amazing how you do these videos and always so respectful too. Stay safe 🖤👽👻🎃
This is a very tragic story indeed, RIP Rebecca. Even more concerning is how our society since then had continue to go downhill, here and around the world with hate, war and with people in political offices/leaders not being held accountable for their actions etc. I hope in the future it will change for the best, but something tells me we will have to hit rock bottom before it does. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts/video about this tragic event.
It's always been this way.
@@brandoncollins1225 Agree, but has accelerated to the point of no return.
Just this morning my lady and I were watching TV about Florida, spring break ... growing up everyone loved spring break. Looked forward to it etc..... NOW, ANIMALS run the show. Spring break has become a scum zoo animal sewer with a bunch of shootouts every night. I agree with you. Every time we turn on the news Animals killing, raping, destroying once beautiful neighborhoods. I live in a once great neighborhood. My lady and I sit outside enjoying the backyard for 9 years. All of a sudden. Animals start showing up, moving in like ants on food. Blasting garbage music so loud the police are called every weekend. Music we cant even understand what the f**k they are saying at all. Our Town now is ruined. No one can say anything about it. You are correct. 100% POINT OF NO RETURN. No one. No politician, political party, sports star, entertainer etc ... will change it. The ANIMALS HAVE 100% taken over with dirt, death and scum and our country is completely ruined.
We're ruled by evil and most people don't seem able to see them. So even when we hit rock bottom we still won't shake them off. Just a bunch of oligarchs and wannabe commissars.
Biden as “President “, is rock bottom .
Poor girl, R I P Rebecca Schaefer🌺 Much love to the Grimmcollective- Michael n Jessica. Always great videos!♥️😎🖤👍
Such a sad ending to her life when it was just beginning.I remember this when it actually happened in 89’.Yesterday I painted suites right next to the actual suite from where the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay massacre shooting happened 4 years ago .Creepy vibe in that hallway and suite next door.
Half and Half.
I vaguely remember seeing my sister Sam maybe a couple episodes but after that they never showed it anymore I was too little to understand that but lead actress was murdered during that time. What was shocking to me was how this creep got her address going to the DMV paying a couple of dollars.... To kill her after her death stalking laws got taken very seriously especially in California also he stalked a couple of other entertainers 80 singers Stacey q and Tiffany
She was such a talented beautiful young lady. It's a shame that she passed away so young. I'm glad they caught the guy that did it.
Why does every young person in the 80's look like they're in their 30's?
Such a tragedy that should've never happened.
Was the big hair of the days
@James SS Nowadays people force themselves to look older, especially girls with make up and plastic surgery. People back then looked older without even trying. Thanks for the reply.
@The Wandering Fool Has to be people spent more time outside and drank heavier.
_Rebecca was possibly watching..._
_...Over him through the Crow!_
I remember this case. Amazing how you produce these videos with these details.
It is such a shame that it takes a tragedy like this to happen before laws are changed. This young woman had her whole life ahead of her a plus had started a very successful career and was cut short by her senseless murder... SAD!!!😢
😢
RIP. Rebecca was so beautiful and talented..the theme song is kinda eerie given how she passed.
Ominous that you were visited by a crow in this video. Like being visited by the spirit of Rebecca watching over you, if you believe in that kind of thing.
Another long term viewer and great work with the video as usual! I have to say though it really annoys me and I do find it hard how this SOB got to do this to this young girl! How on earth could whoever was in that room with him when he was confessing to the murder, not wanna beat the crap out of him there and then!!?? He deserved that! Thank God the laws have changed with these Stalkers nowadays! Keep up the good work and happy Halloween!
‘Twas a Raven …..nothing more.
It's only fitting that a Raven is watching over the spot she died at and is hawking away. Great video as always, it's sad how people like that cannot control their emotions, I personally blame it on parenting, I think it all starts at ground 0.
Definately starts with our childhood and its environment and the way we are raised. It is our foundation for life.
So we blame our parents for everything we do ! no personal responsibility that's awesome!
@@garethjames1300 Personal responsibility is a question of ethics and morality but if you are raised in a family that hates the world and abuses the system and hates on all other humans and takes everything they can grab and is incredibly selfish then you get a world like we live in today with people stealing with no self control, people throwing trash on the street and spraying graffiti on buildings and driving aggresively on the road, and destroying public places and just abuse of everyone else in society and break everything out of hate. This is failure of parenting, a failure of order in society. Once this is problem it is very hard to fix. The USA like all countries has financial ups and downs we are not different, did people in Japan, Korea and China not suffer during COVID of course even worse as they got very little help from their government if not nothing at all and look at what happened here in the USA, riots, destruction, chaos, why?
It’s chilling how he describes in detail his actions and her final moments. Just disheartening.
Those cops should have just merc'd him and said he fell or something.
Great video.. if you go to Seattle some day.. can you please try to find the place where she has her rest ?
This was so devastatingly sad. I used to watch this show. I’ve always wondered why so many murders take place in July? I’ve always wondered that
As a former First Responder for 13 years in LA, deadly violence, road rage spikes between late June til early September in the USA/Canada, then again from early December to early January. Just check out statistics available online or your public library. Those 3 months stress out police, sheriffs, park rangers, ambulance units, fire departments worldwide, especially early December til early January. Thanks for asking that Sandra.
I remember first hearing about this sad incident when another up and coming star Christina Grimmie was gunned down by another deranged fan at her own meet and greet session after her show in 2016...and even with anti Stalking laws being in place since the 90s things haven't changed much. Like just last year an instagram model from Texas was killed by a fan who was stalking her online with his obsessive comments to her and being a hacker at that, until one day he travelled across state lines from Florida all the way to the models home in Texas and then stabbed her to death inside her house...and then later on the father of the model found the stalker inside her house stabbing himself to death.
Hearing about Rebecca Schaeffer really hit me hard and it's ashame that it took a phychopathic fan to steal her life away. She probably would have been one of the top stars in hollywood today if she was still hear with us. The law should have acted quicker after the Teresa Saldana and John Lennon case.
Robert John Bardo should have got the death penalty, not life in prison but I guess that's the way of the most high torturing his soul until judgement day.
May have soul rest in perfect peace! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Such a sad story. With Dorothy Stratton 1980, Dominique Dunne 1982 and Rebecca Schaeffer 1989... 2022 and nothing has changed. After Stratton & Dunne, Schaeffer should not have happened. I know stalkers and ex's are different "beast" but these 3 were all victims of men who thought they had some kind of "rights" to these young ladies! So... over and over these things happen, all sorts of laws and industry policies have been implemented - to no avail. It's heartbreaking. 😪
I believe the most tragic is Rebecca’s murder because she didn’t know Bardo at all & he took her life.
@nomiddlenamenmn427 I think Dominique's murder was more devastated. Rebecca's murder was tragic but at least it got justice and the killer is behind bars. Where's Dominique's killer served only 3 years and living as a free man til this day.
Bro love all your hard work on these vidios rip rebecca 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Rebecca Schaeffer was a superstar in the making on television and it all ended at the hands of a bad man. Anyone alive back then remembers how popular Rebecca had become and was the darling of the sitcoms. It was unfortunate that she never got to see where her talent would take her but she did do a lot in the little time she had. Rest In Peace, Rebecca.
Your videos are so good. It just sucks that there are others piggybacking on what works with your channel. At least y'all are original @80slife4ever
I remember looking up to her she was so vibrant and beautiful she was a few years older than me at the time. But I was in shock and so sad that something like this could happen to young woman like her.
Looks like you got yourself a Crow totem. In some traditions the Crow is associated with life mysteries, magic, and death. Appropriate eh?
Correction she's buried in Portland not Seattle. Great video otherwise
You do realize that crow is the spirit of Rebecca Schaeffer telling you "Right on!" for making this video, right? Tragic story, good coverage. So many seriously fucked up people out there today... Stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be, man.
Wow! RIP. Well done video
She's actually not buried in Seattle but Ahavai Sholom Cemetery, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, She was born in Eugene, Oregon,
Another great, heartfelt video from you, Michael!
Sadly, Rebecca's young age, and accompanied naiveté, is what caused this tragedy to occur. An older, more experienced celebrity would never answer the door blindly like that. Very tragic indeed. She had so much going for her.
She was expecting a script to be delivered. That’s why she went to the door, but yes, I’d want to make sure I knew for sure who was there before I’d go to the door. I’ve been stalked and it made me paranoid. I almost never answer my door anymore. My own family has to text or call to let me know when they’re outside my door!
@@willfade7994 Yep, I never answer the door either. Let them knock. It's my door, and if I don't want to answer it, that's my choice.
@@centuryrox It was not her young age and naïveté that caused this tragedy. A sociopath murderer caused this tragedy.
Celebrities are human.
Unfortunately, Rebecca's intercom was broken.
She went downstairs to answer the door, so that he would stop buzzing her intercom.
pure evil why he not get the dearh sentence... beautiful young woman not with us any more thank you Michael i did not know of her killing .... RIP REBECCA
She was adorable and talented. It's sad that her open and trusting nature mad her vulnerable.
When you become popular... You become the target. It's the cost to pay enjoying the fame. Need to keep out strangers. No wonder famous people never entertain stranger fans, regardless of their motives.
That PI should have been found culpable, a creepy looking guy, and he is really creepy looking, asked him to find the address of a starlet and he didn't think it was suspicious or worrying? I cry foul, nothing was stopping him from using the same info and alerting her, or somebody at least. You know Lee Harvey Oswald owned a copy of the Catcher in the Rye as well? it's a cursed book I tell ya. And why is there always ravens around when you're filming? I swear if you visited the Tower of London there'd be some kind of ravensplosion.
A somber tale. Respecful video of what occurred. The raven on the roof is a good indication that there are spirits especially Rebecca's.
She’s buried in Oregon, not Washington
Thank you for keeping these actors/actresses remembered, and done so respectfully and truthfully. 🙏 Stay well, GLC. Hi Jessica! Peace.
SO sad I remembered when THIS HAPPEN RIP very very Tragic.
Fascinating sad and ultimately tragic well done for another brilliant episode. Love your stuff guys
I remember that very sad , she never had a chance to live her life. That raven was trying to tell you something, maybe he was Rebecca spirit.
Wow absolutely crazy. I do remember when this happened it was all over the news, i was around 21 yrs old myself.
Excellent job detailing the events grimmlife.
I just passed by her home recently.we actually live in the same neighborhood. very sad. i'm shocked she opened the door TWICE fort his guy. he looked insane
So sad.. so crazy how a moment of bad luck or being in the wrong place or around the wrong person can end your existence forever.
Summer of 1989 was rough: John Matuszak, Rebecca Schaeffer, Victor French, Donnie Moore...RIP
This is why we don't get obsessed with celebrities Boys and Girls.
Exactly. I have been around a few celebrities. I smile and only speak if they speak to me first. I am careful when I say I love their work and thank them. So far, all of them have been kind. I know I am a harmless fan, but I want them to feel that, too. This video is extremely well done.
Very tragic tale told very respectfully. Very peculiar timing for that crow. ;)
I love your videos. When I saw the crow I remembered something about crows. Crows show up to let you know that there are spiritual shifts happening around you and remind you to pay attention to the spiritual messages that are sent to guide you. They represent transformation, cycles, psychic tools, and insight into unseen realms. I feel that somehow Rebecca was there when you were making the video.
I thought the same thing! It took me a day or so of thinking about it to post but while I was watching the video I got chills as soon as I saw it! I was just skimming the comments to see if I was the only one that noticed! Glad I’m not!
