Thank you for watching!! Xx
its a real tragedy how your new to the channel and finish binge watching all her videos and now you just wait until she uploads again
I feel you 😂 this was me a little over a year ago and it really bummed me out 😅 I could listen to her all day!
Me 3 years ago 😭
4 years in and i will say her current upload schedule is a blessing
True...I sometimes listen/watch her videos over and over again until she uploads a new video.
This was me when I first started watching her channel. Now I feel like I’m pretty much a detective 😂
This case remind me of the old African proverb
_“child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”_
makes you wonder how differently things might’ve ended had he grown up in non-racist town / era. he was clearly a child that was hurting and didn’t know how to handle everything he was feeling. hence the drug abuse, skipping school, burglarizing homes and so on. there’s always an underlying reason why kids act out and as a result 4 innocent people lost their lives. truly tragic all around.
racism is not an excuse to become a serial killer. we would not excuse the KKK, nazis, etc. serial killers are serial killers.
@@justaperson6254 never said it was an excuse but an explanation for what possibly could’ve pushed him to that point.
@@Moth105 bro, i was comparing the KILLER's motives to OTHER KILLERS who killed for racialised reasons.
hitler thought the root of his problems were jews (wrong, obviously) and that he should kill them all. same as the KKK.
i was not saying that they were victims of racism, and i thought that was obvious.
@@justaperson6254 it’s not an excuse it’s a main reason why he was driven to kill and also they aren't on the receiving end of racism
@@justaperson6254 learn the difference between an excuse and an explanation
this story is tragic in so many ways...the racism, the little innocent girls, pure injustice
Yes it messed up how he was treated but the way he murdered innocent women and children was so heinous and sick i refuse to feel bad for him he even still gets into trouble while locked up i remember when i first heard of this story years ago and it had me shook
Agreed
honestly, I love the way that Eleanor tells these cases.. not even to feel sympathy. But I think hearing the background of the aggressors really paints a picture as to what they went through, and why they did what they did.
I know that I am interested in these cases because I’m interested in being able to recognise what bad intentions can look like….
Eleanor helps with that and I am forever grateful for this channel. It has/will most definitely save lives.
Hey Eleanor! Im not sure if you're still reading comments right after you post but I love you so much! You're voice is so soothing and always eases my anxiety. Unfortunately I can't afford to become a member but I wanted to comment and say thank you. Because when things are at they're worst I play one of you're videos on either this Channel or the Ellie Neale channel and my anxiety immediately reduces. Im only 16 and hearing the advice you give us girls has made me so much more aware of situations and made me realize how abusive a relationship I was in was. So once again, thank you so much for not only telling us about these cases and spreading awareness but for teaching me things that could potentially save my life. I love you, never stop making content.
I find it hard to believe that a psychopath who could put these poor victims including small children through such a violent attack could feel remorse, after taking time to go from one to the next and not feel this before if they where capable of such a feeling.
I lived in Rhode Island for years. The level of racism in Rhode Island is WILD. There’s tons of corruption especially within the police force and so much more. This case has me conflicted as f!!!! F RI
Conflicted??? Dude killed CHILDREN. Give me a damn break. People suffer from horrible kinds of racism also and don’t do disgusting things like this. Racism is no excuse or even reason so sympathize with this monster
Very sad and sickening...
I think it’s important to note that him believing Joan was judging him wasn’t actually factual.
There’s a good chance all of the racism he experienced had made him a little weary of everyone.
Exactly my thoughts! Also she could have been judging him - just not for his race too. I mean they lived on the same street, chances she hard heard about the young teenagers who drink, do drugs and rob homes in the area…
@@z.z.1876 yeah exactly! For all we know he could’ve broken into her house? Can’t really trust the words of a serial killer when the victims can’t defend themselves
Very true. Many ppl judge you when you’re a teen and i would judge him bc he’s a man. That’s probably what happened but bc he has felt prejudged before he concluded it was racial and he might not have been able to empathise with other factors and why that might be intimidating, too. And even if it was, her daughters didn’t deserve that and it wasn’t a level of racism deserving death idk.
Okay but let's not forget that this was a mainly white town and it's the 80s. Racism was very prevalent. If she heard about the things he did before, it was probably just added on top of the racism.
@@editaudioaesthetic I don't see why a grown woman would be judging a 15 year old boy for "being a man"?
The amount of people making this man a VICTIM because he experienced racism is INSANE. He brutally killed innocent people!!! There isn’t a single excuse for it.
I think its more explaining how his mindset could be changed due to his experiences, I dont think it ever excuses it, but it helps explain how they might have been pushed towards that point. I think you always have a choice unless you're literally forced by someone, and that's on you, but it's helpful to understand how their mind built up to that point where they chose this
I can assume you’re not black/brown?
@@gabrielleokpala2198 are you trying to make an excuse for killing two children? the women okay, one was racist and the other had a racist family member so i get the explanation there. but the kids? the only explanation there is that they could snitch on him, but that doesn’t require how brutally he murdered them
"I went through something bad so i inflicted absolute hell on people" is not an excuse.
He *was* a victim. He ran for his life twice from cars trying to run him over when he was just 12 and 13. They did actively try and kill him. You cannot sit there and tell me a 13 year old child deserves to be chased by a car trying to kill him. None of that negates him doing these horrible crimes, nor does him doing this negate the fact he was a victim *before* in his life. They are two entirely separate things and that's what so many people have trouble seeing and coming to terms with.
It’s so hard to understand why anyone would be so violent.. but the violence from this guy to these children?! It’s absolutely horrible 😢
When your treated like your not human you start to act inhuman.
Hurt people, hurt people. Remember he TOO was a child.
@@belindabarbour382 i absolutely agree 🇮🇪💚
He was a child himself 🙄
@@belindabarbour382 doesn’t matter. plenty of other children have had it much worse and they didn’t take out an entire family. he would’ve been a rotten human either way
I'm usually at least a little sympathetic to the killers who act out due to trauma or illness but in this case I have none.
I'm just repulsed, I don't even know if I can believe that he experienced that racism because it sounds like it was just an excuse to get out of the crimes.
The women did NOTHING to him, none of them even said anything racist to him. He just went "She looked racist" was pretty much his defense.
Racism is real, its horrible and there's no excuse for it, but it is absolutely NEVER an excuse for murder. Self defense is one thing, but breaking in and killing people is inexcusable no matter the reason.
Anyone else think she should make a podcast version as well? I can't always watch, but I love to listen
This guy has done a better job at keeping himself away from the general public than the Justice System itself ever could..
he went through so much as a kid, no excuse for his actions ofc, but that goes to show how cruel ppl can be to literally a young boy :(
Coming here to say that manhunt is heaps of fun!! I grew up extremely rural (a village of around 150 people), and there was about 10 of us kids aged 5-12 that would play manhunt regularly during the summer, seeing as we were so rural and there were literally no shops or places we could really go to for fun. Over half the houses in the village were holiday homes, as my village was close to the mountains, so during summer these houses would be unoccupied. So we'd play manhunt across half the village, hiding in peoples backyards, ditches etc, seeing as there were hardly any cars around, and once the seeker found you, you had to run back to the middle of the village where the abandoned church was. It was heaps of fun and really a testament to what my childhood was like before any of us knew what the internet was, and on occasion even our parents would join in to help the seeker.
This sounds like heaps of fun. I played a version of this in the suburbs with the neighbourhood kids and only dreamed of this game on a scale of what you’ve just described. So cool 🙂
@@Lil_Why our teachers used to let us play it at school too (the school only had around 30 kids aged 5-13), but at lunch times the teacher would start off as the hunter and it was so much fun, I completely forgot about the game and as gruesome as this video is, I’m glad it could remind me of this huge part of my childhood
@@carous3lcos same here. You bought up an old memory for me 😌
I remember when this happened. So horrific. I lived in Cranston, but worked in Warwick at the time.
it always makes my day better when Eleanor uploads
Manhunt is one of my funniest childhood memories we would get the whole neighborhood playing sometime
Terrifying what he went through as a child. He was such a baby
hello! the audio seems to be very quiet and unbalanced comparing to your other videos, it was better during the casetify ad, hope it can be improved!
his backstory definitely has a huge part in this and it breaks my heart even though the things he did to those innocent people was beyond disgusting
1989 no one texted I’m sure!
She says that a lot in her vids, even about a case from the 60s! Idk why they don't teach old style communication in school.
Knew about this kid before. The craziest thing I learned from this video is that he did this in warrick. I was born there for crying out loud. That seriously scares me. RIP to all the victims and their my condolences to their families.
The audio is so echo-y?
Yeah I agree
Do we know the reasons behind the fights that have extended his time in jail? I understand his anger, can't help but feel for him.
So we hear all the time that kids shouldn't be punished like adults cause they are just kids but then I hear a story like this and I think they should be punished to the full extent just like an adult.
One piece of feedback, please remember the time period of the cases you are covering. You mention texts and texting several times and these murders took place in 1987 and 1989, well before mobile phones were in common usage. I generally appreciate the casual story-like presentation style but obvious incorrect information about the case is really jarring to the story that should be focused on attention to detail.
the way Eleanor says thank you is so cute.
Six years!!! HOW UPSETTING!!! HOPEFULLY HE NEVER GETS OUT 😳
Please work on the volume of your videos. It's too low. I always have a hard time hearing you. Love your videos tho 😊
Had a hard time hearing you in this one any chance you could move a little closer to the mic? Love you you’re my favorite!!
The audio is so boxy
I did lsd at 14 and I have never murdered someone or even thought about it lol but as me being grown now I know that it can shape your mind and change your way of thinking
I absolutely love your videos but girl you had me trippin in the beginning bc the case takes place in the 80/90's but you said they were sending texrs😂❤️ unless i just miss heard lol
Drinking and drug use that young is super deleterious to brain development - especially to areas of the frontal cortex that play a large role in emotional regulation, behavioral control, etc.
I keep wondering if things would have been different if his parents acknowledged what he had felt instead of berating him for going out to play with his friends
We lived in Rhode Island for 10 years but moved back to Massachusetts and been here since.. rhode island is like 20 min from where we live right over the line.. i knew as soon as his pic was shoqed we knew whom it was... very very sad case it hot hard in RI when it happened.. what a crazy thing that happened..
the dr ug parts of his childhood are v similar to mine wnd hearing her talk about it is actually sad bc it makes me realise how messed up it was
OH WOW. a case from my home state and town that I never heard of!
let me also add that NOTHING happens here in Rhode Island. like literally providence is the only area to be worried about (even at that is just like 3 sections of prov.) I seriously wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a murder in Warwick since this case. keep in mind that this is a state that you can drive from one end to the other in about an hour or so. pretty much everything is 5-10 mins away which also means everyone knows everyone usually.
fun fact: h.p. lovecraft was born in providence
Interestingly Lovecraft was a raging racist. A lot of the monsters in his story were based on black people… Seems like there is a pattern with this area.
I’ve never heard her you “savage” so much and you’ve covered waayyy worse on this channel. It makes me sad that so many people in the comments are labeling what this child did as an act of evil but glossing over the fact that the hate from his community fueled all of this rage. Like many of the murders she’s covered on the show you can see how one’s childhood forms the type of mental and emotional processes they have. He was a child who did dumb kid things that escalated because of his environment and panic and rage. I think the ugly truth is that we all understand how he got there but no one wants to admit he had help getting there.
Awwww it’s so sad those people has to die but the community raised him like this if people weren’t so mean and racist I’d doubt he’d be like the way he is now if his family actually cares about him when he would report his abuse I doubt he’d be like this. This situation is sad on all parties involved
I Understand The Frustration Of Discrimination, I'm Gay And Trans So I Get Bullied, Sent Death Threats, People Have Literally Killed My Cats Because Of My Identity, But I WOULD NEVER KILL ANYBODY. Yes, What He Experienced Is Horrific, But Killing Innocent People Is Disgusting. There Is Absolutely Nothing That Can Excuse His Actions. The Best Revenge Is A Life Well Lived, Not Murdering People Who Didn't Do Anything. 🤦♂️
He's a coward and most likely a liar.
They were texting her in 1989? 🫢
(Love your videos!! ❤️❤️)
Generally speaking, when someone is stabbed in the face, it's not just venting anger. It's because they're not just trying to kill the person, they're trying to destroy them entirely. Our faces are our most recognizeable attribute; to destroy someone's face is the ultimate attempt to completely eradicate someone AS a person, it's tantamount to erasing their identity.
I think he was trying to erase his own identity .
@@brandiyoung4726his had essentially been erased due to the physical and emotional trauma he experienced from racists attacks.
@@leandradozier968 so the severity of the crime was a reflection of the racial disparity he felt. Sad.
@@LadyLash22 yes
@@LadyLash22 it played a role. Basically
Honestly it's really unfortunate that the community had a hand in creating this monster.
All the rage from his mistreatment just ate away all his humanity
@@beefzombiee he obviously faced racism, but seen as he carried on in prison, the m urders he committed make no sense in relation to the racism he faced the first one was just a women, two kids did nothing not even in his story, the women gave him a look. Which remember this is the story told by the mu rder who had already li ed, so the validity that this was what caused them is very odd, espcially as it's knives every single time.
@@Alex-cw3rz he’s obviously not mentally stable anymore due to the years of trauma. They created a monster. Unfortunately he will not change
@@Alex-cw3rz but the pent up rage and anger definitely played apart into the tragedy
@@aony497 but he k illed 4 people who had nothing to do with anything that happened to him. Except one of the people possibly gave him side eye, although keep in mind this is a person who constantly li ed throughout this case. Let alone the fact that he stabbed people in prison constantly, almost like he liked it.
@@aony497 we all have pent up rage and anger and many people experience worse racism ( my parents came to England during wind rush ) so I know first hand what they experienced and his experience was no where near as bad. These accounts are all from him alone nobody else. Could he used it as justification for his psychopathic tendencies? He lied on many occasions to not get caught and showed no remorse for the victims he murdered for no reason whatsoever. He carried on doing it in prison. According to Eleanor he was a “ good “ boy a “ normal “ teenager but do normal teenagers rob and steal along with the drug taking. Really?
I was in school with Craig Price when this happened at Warwick Vets. A lot of us thought he was being profiled because Craig was the only black kid in school and was a relatively nice kid!
When the police were looking for a suspect my mom was driving my brothers and me into that neighborhood when we were stopped so the detective could check all our hands… Crazy times!
Wait, one question. Was it confirmed that the man who was following Craig with the car was the brother of the 1st woman he murdered?
@@EclipseSeth yeah that's what I'm also wondering
@@EclipseSeth All the racist allegations towards Craig came from his own mouth after he was caught. These allegations were never witnessed and never proven.
I was about to ask the same question
And wow that's crazy how well did you know him ?
Even through what he did was abhorrent and inexcusable. Can't help but finding the racism he suffered completely heartbreaking.
I think you can have sympathy for a child's trauma but angered by their actions.
@@staceya7870 Well said
@@staceya7870 most definitely
yeah until you think about how he left blades in children that sympathy gets a lil less
We’re allowed to feel sorry for the child not the murderer they became. Also, understanding the why doesn’t mean we’re excusing anything they’ve done. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand and clearly can’t feel empathy for others.
His actions are inexcusable. To stab four innocent people to death, including 2 children, is the act of someone evil. I feel terrible for what he experienced in his childhood, but that doesnt dismiss his brutal actions. He needs to be locked up for life.
Innocent? You mean racist pigs
Well not the kids and the first woman, but Joan deserved every iota of it. Who was she to judge him before she met him. Her own closed mind did this to herself.
I have no doubt that he experienced racism, because I find that more likely than not. But I think he covered the bodies because he was ashamed as what he did wasn’t warranted even in his own mind. And I think that’s also why he said the woman gave him a weird look and was a racist and that’s why he did it-he didn’t want to admit that he killed her (and possibly also her daughters) simply because he wanted to.
No no no, the racism excuses everything.
People don't get picked on at all in life - except if it's racism. So only victims of, particularly, _racism_ are justified in killing people.
@@nthgth did anyone excuse him-
his backstory is so so sad, a poor kid just stuck in a life of crime and drugs and getting constantly racially hatecrimed. i can almost understand the psychology, how years of that treatment could make someone so angry they have to kill. but two children? and SO brutally? i’m lost there. and the fact he’s still acting just as crazy in prison. i hope he never gets out. but i still feel for younger him for having such a rough upbringing. such a sad case. RIP to all the victims. my heart goes out to them and their families.
@𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 DA Came here to say the same thing…Always have to take what convicted criminals say with a pinch of salt.
But his friends can verify it saying it’s not true is part of the problem he should never of done it but don’t discredit his trauma
@@RubyRedS1ippers Didn’t say it wasn’t true…Saying never take the word of a murderer.
@@lisapaxford7973 yh but his friends can verify most of the story’s
@𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 DA first of all it should not be a competition to who has the worse trauma because trauma is trauma and second of all we don’t know the extent of his trauma so it could be allot worse than what we know of.
And leaving the house and getting attacked and shouted at by grown men as a young child is messed up.
it’s not a one sided story several ppl can verify most of it.
and just because someone has
“worse trauma” doesn’t mean that his wasn’t valid I’m not condoning anything I’m just saying that he was a horrible person who was driven by anger.
However six years is ridiculous I agree with u but it should not be a race to the bottom. And I can somewhat figure out how his mindset of years of that treatment can drive u mad Rip to those people. X it’s a sad case all round is all I’m saying
It's unfortunate what he's been through, but that definitely doesn't excuse what he's done, I hope that the victims' families are alright 💗
It’s more than “unfortunate”. These people made him into a murderer. You can’t justify blatant and raging racism by saying “well, he did worse”.
@@L4C3RATION of course it's more than unfortunate, but at the end of the day he murdered innocent people that had nothing to do with him.
@@L4C3RATIONI don’t see the correlation between racism and killing innocent children sorry
@L4C3RATION most black people experience raging racism but you don't see most of us becoming serial killers. this boy was a problem!
As a woman, if I’m riding bikes with my kids and a man I don’t know (regardless of race) approached us I would be pretty hesitant and guarded. We know we’re targets, and we’re always on the defensive. I know Craig was a teen, but it’s said he looked older than he was.
I even give teenage boys a wide berth while running, especially if they are in a group.
This was a black teen, in the 80s, in a rough neighborhood. Stop acting dumb.
I am more scared of teens ( especially if they are in a group) after watching “The Devil's Daughter”.
No no, it's _definitely_ racism. That's all it's _allowed_ to be.
I would be wary too but It seems she was still hostile even after he had left
I love your videos so much! But the audio on this video is very quiet, like your microphone wasn’t turned on and just the camera mic was picking you up possibly? Just so you know! ❤
Agh, was looking for another comment saying the same thing!! I thought it was just me, but yeah, I have my volume on full and it's still quiet, like you say as if her mic isn't switched on and it's just the camera built in mic. It's made it a bit difficult for me to watch it tbh as I struggle a bit with my hearing! Hope it gets fixed or something!
Yeah same here, I thought I had an issue with my headset ^^"
same, i had to hook up my speaker and turn it out to the max volume
same, but on the ad it was working fine i think. despite that, still watched it and super thankful she posted!
That’s odd as I’m watching this video on my iPhone YT app the audio is fine. 😊
This is absolutely insane to hear about this case on here. I was born & raised in the area, in RI it's common to learn about him in school. I remember the day I came home to tell my parents what I learned, only to hear that my father (a prison guard for decades) actually was a guard at his prison, but more shockingly my uncle actually went to school with Craig Price. Rhody really is that small of a state.
I actually went to school in Warwick and surprisingly we’ve never talked about this case or learned about Craig Price. I think I only learned about him like a couple of years ago when I watched this true crime video talking about it and it blew my mind that it was right in my neighborhood
I wouldn’t be proud to admit I was from somewhere like this.
@@bananablisss dude what? No one is saying that they’re “proud” but when you live in a state as small as Rhode Island and there’s never been reports of a serial killer or anything similar to these brutal crimes before it’s just interesting.
Why was this being shared in school?
I was raised and live in RI too...its so weird watching someone cover it and she did an awesome job
It is very very sad what he went through as child, no one should be treated like that, but I can't over look the fact that he murdered two children. One could only imagine the fear those children felt during their last moments.
Or the mothers. They weren’t racist or anything to him to deserve it
I rarely ever comment on ANYTHING on here but when you described when he had been strangling Joan and she was trying to tell her children to phone the police... my heart broke. I cant imagine how those kids must've felt watching their mum helpless and it being up to them to call the police. And Joan - probably knowing she wouldn't make it out alive and asking the kids to phone the police instead. So so heartbreaking, and so many stab wounds. How is there even space for that many on such a small child?? So so sad and so evil, and even worst is this could've probably been avoided if Price had a better upbringing and more attentive parents. So many people are at fault here for opening the door for this monsters behavior.
If Craig wasn’t sounded by cruel evil insecure racist idiots that he tried to ignore …. This would not have happened
The victims definitively did not deserve what happened but never think that that whole community created that moment
i dont think its fair to talk about his "upbringing" when its the systemic oppression of black folks that puts them at a huge disadvantage in society, not to mention the fact that he had to deal with racism growing up in a mainly white neighborhood. his identity and emotional regulation was never properly cultivated bc of those ignorant asses around him who couldn't just let kids be kids. i dont think we can say/ imply his parents should have done a better job raising him, thats just cruel and another way that society perpetuates the oppression of black people.
I’m from Warwick and know people who knew him. Because it was my neighborhood, I’ve read a lot about it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone discuss the racial dynamics at play related to this crime. It’s not an excuse but it’s certainly context.
playing devils advocate real quick.. most white people won't ever claim that they've been racist.. this case would be the talk of the town but they'd never draw more attention to the fact that people in that town made him feel uncomfortable and less than.. it never excuses what he did though..
I think some of it is an excuse. I don't doubt that racist stuff might have happened, but listening to the second story?
A woman out with two small girls gets approached by what seems to be a very large man, and he gets offended that she might be nervous?
He continuously acts like 'he wasn't going to really do anything but just break some stuff and then she fell onto his knife 50 times!' She's dead, so we can't get the story from her, we only get his version of, "I just had a feeling she was racist against me" and "she totally gave me a dirty look", but there's nothing that she even did besides maybe get nervous around someone twice her size approaching her - which we can't even be sure if that happened or not that way. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she was alive if her story would've been, "There was something off about him and it was scaring me."
His first story also sounds like he wanted to kill somebody and then he fabricated this whole scenario later or used a real scenario to paint a fake story behind it. It's another case of, "I totally wasn't going to do anything but then I stabbed her until I couldn't stab anymore."
I think the stories we're getting about it were definitely "playing down" his intentions and covering them up with half-truths.
Literally. No one ever mentions it in RI
I am too. Lived there almost my whole life. Wonder if we know each other. Where’d you go to high school?
For the record I have never heard the racial aspect either. This is quite literally the first time I have ever heard it. Nowadays EVERYTHING is considered racist, so forgive me when I take it with a grain of salt. Real racism exists but overall America is not a racist place.
it’s always a good day when eleanor uploads
💯 totally agree!
i just woke up and made my morning 🥰
fr i get so excited❤️
Agree
Yess makes my day 10x better
As a mom of 2 young kids myself, it’s very scary to think that maybe she was just hesitant because he was a big male & coming around her child. That’s a legitimate worry. and that could have been the reason her and her children were killed.
@@reggiehemsworth where did I say that? I said as a mom you are naturally cautious of men especially when it’s just you and your two young children. Your awfully defensive of a literal serial killer
I don’t believe that when he broke into Joan’s house that he didn’t intend to murder her and children. At this point in time he had already kill a woman previously and described going through the same emotions and preplanning as the previous murder.
Ngl, I'm a little uncomfortable with the framing of Joan as being a racist person when the only thing to indicate that is a person who went on to brutally smash two children's heads in and stab them a horrifying amount of times 🤷♀️
It’s just how Craig was seeing them because it’s not like there were other witnesses of their interactions besides him. Joan could’ve looked at him weirdly but Craig had gone through so much racism he probably saw it that way 🤷♀️
he didn't frame the first victim as being racist despite her being a white woman...so why would he lie about joan? she didn't have to be a good person for her and her daughters' murders to be absolutely horrible and tragic. like christ, the world isn't black and white.
2:50 add skip
I don't buy any of it. Price's story really puts him in the victim light. Aww, poor Craig. None of it was his fault! He was just trying to get revenge against racists... and somehow ended up killing women and children. Yeah. Okay.... He claims that he only intended to vandalize... but then was surprised. So he didn't just kill these women AND CHILDREN, he overkilled them. No. There are so many holes in these stories I could write a whole book about just that.
None of it does.
It’s quite literally just facts.
You’re saying it like she isn’t the stating the facts.
Everything was his fault.
And the reason it happened, is because of racism. It started with vandalism, and ended with murder.
Do you not know how to properly dissect content?
Also, you can’t overkill someone.
If you killed someone, you killed them.
It’s as simple as that, you’re a murderer.
No killing is properly justified.
By your false logic, you’re implying that if he killed in another way he’d be justified? When that isn’t the case, he shouldn’t have killed regardless.
And what doesn’t add up? These are facts, that are public. Ain’t nothing to add up? Sorry to say you aren’t going to do their job better than them.
I'm glad he got those extra 25 years, his first sentence was ridiculously short, I'm sure the victim's families felt the system had failed them.
I giggled when you said “ a mens 13, so a really big foot.” My 15 yr old twin boys are over 6ft 2, and wear a 13 & 13.5 in mens shoes. The shoes look ridiculously big. Lol
Children are getting bigger these days, aren't they? My daughter had a friend who in grade 4 had a shoe size 39 (my daughter a 34 😂), the standard adult woman shoe is 38/39. And they are all sooooo tall. 🥺
Is it just me or her audio is really low ? And then when an ad comes in it scares the shit out of me 😂😂
No seriously I thought it was just me 😂
There is no excuse for adults bullying a child, none. The racism he experienced was awful and I'm sure left him feeling helpless and angry. However, I find it difficult to hear, "he was just a normal kid". He wasn't, normal kids aren't doing lsd at 12 years old and breaking into homes. They aren't skipping school at 12 years old, that's not the norm. Something else is going on here in his home that his parents didn't even know that was happening. I also wonder because of his size at such a young age if he had an increased level of testosterone or other hormonal imbalances. This a someone who scares me. What a terrible way for a child to die, so sad.
I'm sure he did have problems with racism, but the idea that twice you "just want to smash things a bit but oopsie daisy I go on a mur dering spree" is frankly ridiculous and the kind of story a 15 year old who thinks they are a lot smarter than they are would come up with. His actions in prison prove it's because he likes doing it.
Thank you! It really bothered me how many people in the comments are making an excuse for this murderer. Loads of murdering psychos have terrible childhoods, we don’t give them a pass so why would we in this crime? The crime is just as heinous and just as senseless, and the victims are just as tortured and murdered. I think the motive other than self defense doesn’t matter at all.
Have you ever experienced traumatic racism? I’m black and live in a 90% white area. I’ve seen this go down. I’ve felt these emotions but didn’t act on them. I’ve wished it upon the people who hurt me.
@@ericka122 what has that to do with my comment
I agree … I have no doubt that he experienced racism, but the fact that twice he accidentally ends up killing the homes’ occupants?? Like, come on … I could see the first time, that the story could bc true, but, dude, you know what happened LAST time you went to “vandalise” a house, maybe not do it a second time??!!! I said in another comment that these stories scare the crap out of me bc I have a kid that scares me, and he ALWAYS has an excuse to justify his behaviour, and he never learns. It’s eerily familiar.
@@Alex-cw3rz it has everything to do with your comment? @ Ericka was offering their experience. this is undeniably a very sad case, any case with a young offender is heartbreaking but especially when this young offender had experienced such horrible racism. there is a difference between an excuse and an explanation.
I have a mixed race child and my biggest fear from day one has been racism. The things this poor kid went through when he just wanted to play with his friends like anyone else could is absolutely devastating. While what he did was absolutely inexcusable and not right at all, it’s no mystery why this man had so much built up rage and anger inside.
Absolutely my thoughts. It is lovely and comforting to hear that you understand the gravity of the black experience💛
It’s impossible to explain what is the black experience. It is not this incident, and that incident.
Unfortunately it’s constant.
From day 1, you’re aware. It’s long-standing, unavoidable and honestly perplexing that nowadays people seem to be more emboldened to express their hate.
No matter where you are in the world, it reverberates and hurts.
It’s impossible to explain just how destructive constant degrading, hate, aggression, targeting, expectation to brush off and take abuse, and especially seeing blissful complicity is beyond damaging.
One thing, the only real threat to “white supremacy” and racism, are other white people. Your voice especially matters, and very lucky kid.
I’m from New Zealand and South Africa. But my family fought and survived during the worst racism. Institutional, violence (open shooting at black schools, pre-K, esp Universities, but any opposition). Historic camps, it’s endless, economic exploitation to this day. The sentiment taken and advertised by America.
The end of decades of legal apartheid till 95” was not long ago. In reality still unchanged. But you always have much love and solidarity overseas
However I am pretty happy and hopeful with this new accepting and intolerance of hatefulness in this new generation. Sending much Aroha (love and strength) Kia kaha☺️
I promise to raise my babies, to love and respect your babies ❤️
I have to admit that it sounds wrong but I would have completely understood if he had gone after the actual racists. Going after the women and children based upon assumptions wasn't only wrong but probably locked in more "I told ya so" racism.
Your children are mixed race they will not experience racism like a black person I don’t understand why you even brought it up lmao 🥴
You know it’s important to have a black child grounded in their community, even if they don’t live in a predominantly black neighborhood. I don’t know how things are in the states and how easy it is to meet other black people, if you not frequent their places, but having a community is one of the most important things. And exactly what Craig was missing. An outlet to talk about his experience and find empathy and solidarity. Talking to people who know *exactly* what he feels and having an output to let out his anger. Racists are everywhere and you can’t shield your child from it, but giving them a strong foundation and teaching them to still love themselves despite the fact that the world clearly doesn’t. That’s what’s matters. As a mixed person things get even more complicated since there are black people who don’t see them as black too and you basically can face racism from both sides and identity crisis are about to happen. But all those things can get navigated with a loving support system at home and good friends and family.
It's crazy how he was a big teddy bear and the loving funny guy in his family and friends but had so much rage too that is a dangerous combination. And some of the statements he made when arrested are scary I'm glad he has kept himself locked up cuz I'd be afraid of someone like that getting out with antimony
physco clearly
Wonder if he was tested for bipolar or dissociative disorder since he seemed to have two sides of his personality.
@@usernameeeeeeeee1055 If you watched the entire video, you should’ve learned that racist people harassed & tried to run him over. That’s definitely psycho behavior. You failed to mention that though 🤔 I guess that rubbed off on him.
@@usernameeeeeeeee1055 are you trying to say psycho?
@@nikkid8729 I wonder to cuz his snap offs seem consistent with bipolar. I don't think DD would fit those are more common to have black outs and we know he remembers everything or they have daydream like situation where they don't realize they did or were a part of something. I have DD and black out when being attacked (abuse by ex caused it) but he could have schizophrenia even idk but he has something off with the fits or rage
Is anyone else having trouble with the audio? It’s terrible for this video. It’s so quiet I have it at max volume! I’m listening at 2x which I know makes the volume lower normally but never this bad.
If he had found that white car or any of the racist people I would have said way to go but you don't get to kill a mother and her children who never did anything to him and say it's because of racism. That's total crap.
Yeah these comments are wild but 100% agree with you there.
Although there are no excuses for what he did to those innocent people, the racism he experienced as a CHILD is absolutely abhorrent & repulsive. The fact that even grown ass adults were racist towards him is insane. It’s truly sickening that people are so hateful towards someone just because they look different it’s almost unbelievable.
And white and non- black people are questioning his experiences when they've never questioned a whites persons
Idk about innocent people yk 😭
hey eleanor!! i love your videos but the audio on this one is so quiet that i can barely hear you. just letting you know in case you weren't aware
Honey just so you know, you have some problem with the volume of the video. Maybe the mic was to far away or Sth else. It’s not that I can’t hear you at all, but it’s lower than usual! The video was amazing nevertheless ❤️
Yes, I love her videos but I had to turn it all the way up and still strained to hear it. Awesome video, just a volume issue ❤️
Girl why are you sympathizing with the killer and not the victims.. you make it all about the killer.. what about the victims and their families
although ik that Craig was a MURDERER i felt really bad for his childhood. He experienced so much racism and especially the bike story and when his bike was ruined it acc made me feel horrible for him.
But this comment by no means is defending him I’m just saying how he had a really rough childhood
Yeah I feel bad for him because he was a victim of racism but I'm mad at him for murdering Rebecca, Joan, Jennifer and Melissa.
Also I'm mad at his parents for berating him for riding his bike after he told them about he was chased by those older boys who wrecked his bike.
Do you think other murderers don’t have awful childhoods? Most are victims of sexual assault by their own family members, completely discarded by those who are supposed to love them the most. No one highlights the human side of those murderers because in the end, the fact they took an innocent life of someone who had done nothing to them makes us see them as the monsters they have become. Think about Aileen Wurnous? Her childhood was much worse than this kid’s, and she was sentenced to death and no one bats an eye. Point is there is NO excuse that justifies murder and maybe consider reserving your sympathy for the actual victims.
@@cynthiaschmidt2726 Hey, Cynthia? How about you cool it and actually read what the OP said instead of putting words in their mouth. Feeling sympathy for a person's trauma =/= excusing their horrific actions. The world (and human emotions) are more often than not far more nuanced than you may believe them to be.
@@cynthiaschmidt2726 r u blind or smthn I literally said I’m not DEFENDING him I’m just saying that on this SPECIFIC case he was bullied ALOT. So I suggest u shut up and stop embarrassing yourself. Thank you❤️
Thing is , at no point did the racism get confirmed by anyone else apart from the killer! Think about that! He was a psychopath and lied all the time to get away with everything he did.
Some others have said this too, sweetie, but your audio isn't up to scratch this time. Hope you get it fixed for next time. Hugs!
The sad fact is that Joan might not even have problem with his race - I mean they literally lived on the same street, so she could have easily heard about the alcohol, the drugs or even the former break-in conviction. She probably knew that he was a troubled kid and that’s why she was wary of him :/
She was probably racist too
@@EquestrianEmpress15 We can’t really assume that. Unlike some other people that were mentioned, she didn’t do anything but look at him warily. If she heard the half of what these boys were upto at their very young age, I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t trust them with her young daughters.
No everyone in America has a problem with race it’s ingrained in all of us you have to actual activity fight against ur nature. That’s how deep it is here
or she was racist...this was a small white town in the 80s, be serious now. she didn't have to be a good person for her death to have been morally reprehensible. two things can be true at once.
why do you people think racism isnt real? all whte people do is question shit. ridiculous
Did anybody else hold their breath when she said he saw a cat.... But we know our girl Eleanor would have given us a trigger warning
Get out of my head! 🤣
Absolutely loving that big Lapras in your background. You really do have a wonderful narration voice and are always respectful to those involved in the case.
I find it really disturbing how many people in the comments are showing sympathy for the murderer. In any other situation do we make excuses for a murderer of innocent children? Many killers have awful, traumatic pasts. Some much worse than this case. No one cares, so why is this guy given a pass? The VICTIMS and their families deserve the sympathy, not the murderer.
Exactly! I think the whole video is way too sympathetic towards him. He brutally murdered four people unprovoked, and yet it sounds like we are suppose to feel bad for him and mad at the victims for POTENTIALLY being racist. A woman glaring at you is not a reason to murder her and her children.
@@abbyvincent7205ute you’re into denying racism, great look for you and of course you’re white. Shock horror
I strugle to feel any sympathy for this boy. he killed four innocent females. he showed 0 remorse. glad he hasn't been released. playing the race card, this should be classed as a hate crime as im sure he wouldn't of killed them if they were black.
I understand giving background about the perp, and like hearing some background as well. It would be nice to hear more about the victims and children of the victims. The majority of this vid is all about Craig and makes it sound like his background/childhood is an excuse for his despicable and horrific behavior. Regardless of what he experienced, there is no excuse for his tragic actions. Lots of people experience far more traumatic childhoods or similar, and don’t do anything of the sort. Prayers to the families of these victims.
It would be interesting to see if there was any validity to the way Craig felt. That these individuals were in fact racist and did act in such a way towards him before these murders. Regardless, no excuse for his actions.
Absolutely outrageous what his original sentence was! Thank goodness he is still locked up!
I’m sorry but did she say it was an excuse for actions?
No. She didn’t
I feel sad for Craig for all the racial abuse and the fact that he was starting to lead a life of crime so young as maybe his family weren't as attentive as they should be. That all said though nothing can excuse his actions. I know countless people have suffered discrimination, some relentlessly so but they don't kill people
i love her videos but this one feels like it’s focusing on victimising the murderer for the majority of the video. This boy took the lives of children and women. Racism isn’t okay and it is sad he experienced it but it doesn’t justify what he did at all. I wish this video focused more on the actual victims..
what an awful situation. He was handling his anger so well on his own, I can’t help but feel that if maybe he just had some sort of therapist or his parents validated his feelings more that maybe things wouldn’t have gone so terribly. This is one of those cases where you just feel bad for everyone. None of those people deserved to be killed, especially in such a horrific way and it sucks that people can’t just accept that there are different shades of brown. I hope he can better himself and I hope for the victims to be resting in paradise.
At least one of the victims(joan)deserved it but I'll pretend you're right. If you haven't been through the recieving end of racism, you won't understand that anger and pain. It would be different it the victims were not racist as well, which three of them are not confirmed to be but Joan is a racist and I feel no empathy for her
technically. were all just different shades of orange- bc all brown tones are oranges- /lh /jk
@@medcastrophilip544 the only victims I don’t really feel empathy for are child predators, torturers and children/animal abusers (like severe abuse). But you are right, I don’t face such aspects in my day to day life, the thing is she wasn’t one of the people WHO LITERALLY TRIED TO RUN HIM OVER, it’s just despite her opinions she never acted so violently towards him compared to other people.
@@medcastrophilip544 She didn't do anything to him? She didn't even say anything, she did not deserve to be killed.
@@medcastrophilip544 he assumed she was being racist towards him, that doesn't justify being murdered
Soooo….the guy who stabbed little girls multiple times and women in the face, this is the guy who has an alibi? Racism??? These people did nothing to him. I’m not saying that racist/racism is not a relevant reason to lose the person you are, I’m not saying that it doesn’t change you but…..you want me to believe that this guy who kept the lie going that he broke a window in a car with his bare hands in order to cover up the reason for a cut hand is now the same person we are supposed to believe is so “broken” due to racism that he needs to murder innocent little girls and a mom?? It seems like sympathy baiting for lower time in prison and not an actual alibi.
His parents are the ones to blame for these tragedies too. Your 13yo child goes in and out of the house in the middle of the night, smokes pot, gets extra yeat at school, is bullied for being black and you do nothing? It seems they were just as bad people as he was.
My exact thoughts, I would do anything in every second of my life to protect my children from a life like that and would stick up for them and be there for them when they need me (I always am in general)…but in this case it’s just outrageous that noone stuck up for him or at least offered him a shoulder to cry on before those killings happened
My dad was Craig Prices assistant football coach and was shocked to find out what he had done because on the football field they had a hard time getting him to be aggressive. My aunt and 3 cousins also moved into the Buttonwoods house he murdered Rebecca Spencer in because she was a single mom with 3 kids and the rent was cheap since no one wanted to live in the “murder house”. When she viewed the house there was still sections of carpet that had been cut out from the blood and she said the concrete underneath was stained brown because it had seeped so far through.
this is my worst nightmare, coming home to my family murdered i can’t imagine anything worse. my heart hurts for the victims and their families 💔
Yea fair to say that's EVERYONE'S worst nightmare lol.
@@rougeneon1997 i’d hope so
Also while I totally understand the complete bs he went through its not an excuse for what he did. He didn't kill the people that did horrible things to him. He killed innocent women and children. He keeps saying that these women just gave him these looks or he could just feel that they didn't like him if they didn't say or do anything I mean yeah it just sounds like BS to me like he just said that to have an excuse to tie it in. Add in the fact that he kept attacking and killing people or at least attempting to kill people in prison I don't believe his story about why he killed the women and 2 kids. I really don't. So if that was why he killed them why was he trying to kill the other people? I know prison is horrible I'm sure they did something to him I'm not saying they didn't I'm sure they did however he still continued on. A lot of people go to prison and have things happen and don't murder anyone I know several people myself. I even know a guy that went to prison for murder when he was 16 he spent over ten years in. His imprisonment served every single day of his time in adult prison not juvenile and he got out of prison and he was not violent while he was in prison and has not been violent since he got out. Hes over 30 years old now so hes been out for a few years and hes fine hes not a violent guy hes not even a mean guy. The guy that he killed was actually trying to kill him it was kind of a self defense situation and he still got longer than that dude did originally at 16 This is ridiculous I don't know I just don't buy anything that this dude said in his defense at this point
100% Agree with you there. If others looked more into the case to see the finer details they’d see that’s there is way more smaller details that absolutely play a part in what kind of person this boy ( at the time) was.
@@Lil_Why Personally I just know far too many people that have had abuse that have dealt with racism that have dealt with drug addictions bad families all kinds of stuff and they have gone to prison 1st all kinds of different things from drugs to robbery to murder this and that but none of them went on a murdering spree killing innocent women and children. So yeah like his story just doesn't do it for me I know it sucks if someone acted racist for him out of that s***** but that still no excuse to go around murdering People that look at you funny. It's just complete b******* to me it's not a freaking excuse it's not a oh well he just had all this pint up rage we all have pin up rage
@@gachaluna2708 Agree with you once again. Dark people are selfish when dragging others into their own problems. They are at fault for their actions and need to take responsibility.
I’m sorry to hear that and hope you’re okay and continue to spread the good word. 🫶🏻
Girl no offense you gotta get the sound quality fixed, I can’t hear anything
Love that you uploaded but not sure if it’s just my sound that’s messed up or a change in mics but the sound is a little different. When she did casetify sponsorship it sounded a lot better compared to the rest of the video
Same the sound is off
I don't think her mic is switched on... It sounds like it's just her cameras built-in mic picking up her voice. It's difficult to hear her for me tbh
I do not find his “racism claims” an excuse for what he did.
Would’ve loved to hear more about his family. The racism, drugs, and maybe the lack of support at home made him a very angry kid. He swallowed all that anger until it all exploded and innocent, vulnerable people paid the ultimate price….
The audio is a bit off
Being angry isn't an excuse for murdering people, particularly children. No matter what you're angry about. I had a terribly abusive upbringing. Horrible things happened. But I used my intelligence to get out of that situation. He ruined his own life. He choose to go down the worst, most destructive path imaginable. 💔
Same here. He had no impulse control or empathy. You don’t get that from a bad childhood
@@katherinebattle3780 we weren’t talking about racism but that there’s no excuse for murdering two innocent children no Mather what
@@jannekelind1220 but we are tho… because that was the reason of crime….. he didn’t go to the house to go kill her. he didn’t even go to the house with a knife. But we not gonna make it about race like if you gonna talk about it talk about ALL OF IT
@Samantha Parmley I know, I'm not trying to say child abuse isn't traumatic but IN MY OPINION racism is worse, cause even though child abuse will leave you with fear racism will leave you feeling fear for your entire life. what happened to the people in buffalo, George Floyd's case, police brutality, white supremacists, lynchings, etc even when I'm an adult I STILL have to worry about being MURDERED cause of something I can't change.
@Taliyah Jones he murdered children! Innocent children. Racism is awful and definitely something our country has issues with but that will never excuse someone for murdering innocent children! He stabbed a 10 year old over and over and over again! He's a monster with a sad upbringing but he's still a monster!
Serial killing is simply not an excuse for anything. Even racism. There is no excuse. Period.
