Never ever go to meet your abuser one last time that’s typically when they plan on killing you. They always say we need to talk. You don’t actually need to talk. That’s just them trying to manipulate and control the situation.
I don’t understand why he was so hell bent on killing or destroying the gf, yet let the ex wife take him for half!!? Seems like it’d be the other way around.
Thank you Film Rise for uploading this series.. We all loved it back in the day.. Thank you for giving us Robert Stack.. it’s like seeing an old lost friend 💕💕
The part of the Minns case that irritates me the most is he should not have been allowed to come into her house when the police brought the search warrant. The warrant allows only the police entrance, it was not okay for the police to tell him to come on in. It doesn't do Barbara much good, but I'm so glad his ex-wife got half his fortune.
Katherine must of really felt depressed after loosing her husband of 38 years. She did not open any of her social security checks, it's so sad how her house was unkept. But depression can tear the best person down, if there loved one is no longer here on earth. For her sake, I hope she is with Gilbert. True love cannot be destroyed and in this day and age is very, very rare almost nonexistent in most cases. May Kathrine RIP🪦🕊🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Wow, can't believe they actually filmed at Shipley's for the reenactment , this is why Unsolved Mysteries was truly the best. No one comes close to the true to story and true to life reenactment !
In July of 1994, Richard Minns, 64, was arrested at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on suspicion of obtaining several passports with fraudulent information and names. He received a four-month sentence and fined $100,000. In November of 1994, he was deported because he was in the United States illegally. Minns has never been charged in the attempted murder of Piotrowski although police have said they believe he was involved. Piotrowski did win a $58-million dollar civil judgment against Minns and others for the attempted murder. Adrian Franks of Houston, Texas, hired by Dudley Bell to follow Barbra and who tapped her phone and recorded her calls, and who was hired to kill Piotrowski and installed a remote kill switch on her car died of cancer in 2018. Richard Minns died in England in 2016.
Richard Minns did not die in England in 2016. He is alive and living in Israel, having renounced his U.S. citizenship. See TheObjectiveStandard.com/2019/06/a-wonderful-tribute-to-carl-barney
@@xyzGooabc , actually, most people nowadays don't know who Minns is. Don't judge Rand or those who really believe in what she wrote about by him. He is a narcissistic sociopath.. and most likely that is why the Objectivist community embraced him in the first place.
Jenny has been totally let down by the justice system. One perpetrator get sentenced to 38 years and gets out if 4. Mims eventually serves 4 years for "tax fraud", he never has a successful case brought against him for murder-for-hire, and the civil suit against his is dismissed. To say he's beat the system is an understatement.
He was with his wife for 60 years she was the joy of his life I actually think they passed away close to one another, so I’m happy they together such beautiful souls 🙏🏽💟
Richard was Lowdown cold-hearted ruthless and didn't care about nobody but himself he was pathetic. I love Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack I could watch him all day long.
Alex Cooper's case resolution was rare. Its refreshing to see someone get on TV and simply admit they made a mistake and try to make it right. Wish more people saw it that way. No one is perfect, and a lot of people may have done what he did. If you screw up like that just man up and admit it. There is always forgiveness if you ask.
The moral of the story is never to get involved with married rich men! Anytime a woman finds out a man is married she should run for the hills nothing but the bad thing will happen especially if the guy is rich af. I felt bad for Barbara but it's great she turned her life around for the better but it really sucks she never got any true justice!😡
Minns case -- Shows how the system works for people with money and connections, and how it can be manipulated to abuse and violate innocent people like his unfortunate girlfriend. She was unfortunate because she loved a man who wanted to punish her with his power for simply leaving him when he deserved it. He sullied her record, pressed unfair charges against her, bullied her, and then tried to take her life. He then because of his money and power, went on to travel and have success. She is strong and has overcome his damage, and she works helping others. I admire this. I don't admire this Minns man, who has so much, yet has chosen to hurt and victimize people that actually loved him.
Thing is, he's just not a happy person. He can havefall the money & power in the world, but it won't make him happy. His heart will never sing with joy. He's the one losing, in the end, and as he gets older & older his narcissistic horsepucky will just trap him deeper in his own muck. He will never escape himself.
Piotrowski's biggest mistake was not returning the items Minns had given her. I don't care if they were gifts, it gave him an excuse to dial up the harassment. Cut all ties then they have nothing to hold over you.
The case of Katherine Bennett made me sad in how she ended up as a recluse and isolated despite friendly neighbours coming to give her stuff. I appreciate seeing neighbours who do that. The only consolation to that is that she at least knew 38 years of love with her husband in her life and I hope they both are together wherever they are.
Barbara was naive to think she could take all the property in the home and not expect since retaliation. If you want out, GET OUT. Don't take your time packing bags.
It was her leaving him that triggered him. He needed control, and didn’t care what morally bankrupt methods he used to get it. Lying about his wife, making up a story about being legally separated to make the issue of his wife turning up go away, abusing influence over the police. I bet he never showed Barbara documentation to show the townhouse and everything in it were hers (it’d invalidate the statement where their only relationship was professional), she just took him at his word. That statement was about him controlling the narrative, making her the bad guy and protecting his image.
@@fredrezfield1629 It was about control, she couldn’t be the one to initiate the end of the relationship and it was clear he had the law in his pocket. What followed was retaliation for her taking control of the narrative of the relationship.
@@jbcatz5 it was clear?? from where this short only showed a fight scene then all of a sudden she is moving out and he is hiring a hitman to kill her it doesnt make much sense she must have done soemthing to piss em off
@@fredrezfield1629 He got the police to try coerce the false confession out of her, and he was allowed to be present when they searched her new home. To hammer the point home again, he needed control of the situation, the relationship and the perception of it. He lost control so he lashed out at the woman who took it. It’s a classic abuse strategy, make sure they know who’s boss by demonstrating control over them.
I know a miscarriage can be devastating, but maybe it was for the best it happened because her problems would have likely multiplied with that guy. So glad Barbara was able to move on from that violent lunatic she was with. Great she found life in a new town with a new name and a husband who seems to be giving her love she deserves.
But let’s not gloss over the fact that she kept it a secret a lauded it over his head. A part of me thinks she did that because she still wanted him. Yes, he’s a grade-A Psychopath and belongs in hell, but she bought this drama on herself.
I'm so sick of people here blaming her. She wasn't "silly". She was in love. It wasn't her fault. She showed integrity by refusing to lie and say that they didn't have a relationship. She's the one who ended up paralyzed, for fucks sake!
@@michelleprieur1 You are wrong. There is no cure for stupid. She coming back to him continuously is the reason why she got what she deserved. She is such a fucking idiot that I would not doubt if even now if he reached out to her, she would probably take him back.
To be fair, the same thing happens in friendships but when you find a TRUE friend it is so worth it! And I think when you find a partner who is a great person and you have true compatibility with it's the same and worth kissing all those frogs to get to
Barbara made herself a victim. Even when she found out her partner was married, she still went ahead with the affair. Amazing how she recalls the warning signs, but went ahead with the relationship anyway. I have no pity for this woman. Literally had signs flashing in front of her face Richard was a tyrant. No mention of the wife who had to find out her husband was having an affair. How devasting it must of been for her. At least she was clued on enough to divorce her husband.
Wow this is one of those episodes you realize the people who made it put so much hard work into getting these stories across to get peoples attention even during cynical days and they're watching TV to escape their own major problems.....
How and WHO allowed her civil suit to be dismissed after all this? 4 years for attempted murder?? This shows that money controls justice. It's irreprehensible, a shameful mocking disgrace of the American "Justice" System. I applaud Jennie (and WHY did they give out her new name??) and her amazing husband, who is more of a man than the tool "O'Toole" ever was and the doctor will be long remembered for far more than Tool will EVER be.
What I want to know about the Richard Minns case is whether anything was done about the corrupt cop and others in the police who enabled and facilitated his atrocious behaviour.😡
Well, the State of Oregon got tricky with the balance of that estate it seems. They held the money for remaining potential heirs, and when none seemed forthcoming, rather than award that remainder to the one heir, they kept it for their coffers. That's not just objectionable, it's crooked.
What about the costs the state incurs for performing a search of her heirs? Perhaps that's the reason why they kept a portion of the funds. I could be wrong though.
The whole concept is ridiculous. Go around wasting time and resources looking for blood heirs that have never had any contact or relationship whatsoever with the deceased, and they're entitled to money by a distant bloodline??? That should have just gone to her husband's family, and the law saying it can't because he is deceased is either flawed or corrupt.. She was widowed, not divorced, obviously loved him very much....the only viable argument is that she should have made a will since she had so much money to be debated over.
Actually it is a common practice with most states. That is why important to leave a will or at least contact people. Since wills will stand up in court to protect inheritance no matter how little or how much...make a will.
I'm so happy for her Jannie Smith, 💓she made a life for herself. Good for her 👏. That gives me hope, even though I'm much older. 🤷♀️. Mine was botched surgery, that has left me disabled. I'm going to keep fighting 💪😤.
Kirby Kipling. Thank You for the update, it is appreciated. Richard Minns did not deserve to live up to 93 years…..he should have been arrested for attempt of murder on his then wife and die in prison. A very sad case and truly tragic for Barbara/Jani.
@@melindaroop1346 She was impressed with his $ and looks...shallow and materialistic, that's called, and she paid dearly for it. I know it sounds cold, but the truth hurts.
Richard Minns moved to Israel permanently and somehow became a notable artist despite his horrid past. There are RUclips videos of him speaking. He had an interesting past. Used to work as an editor for The Houston Chronicle after graduating from Texas. Later shifted towards advertising and ended up gaining ownership to a chain of gyms--whom he was doing advertising work for--after the owners ran out of money. This was right about when gyms were starting to become popular, so the business took off not long after.
He denounced his US citizenship and went to Ireland and the carribean for long enough to avoid statue of limitations before coming back with fake passports with several names and only got 4 months, then he went to England and then Israel where he is in a milieu of Ayn Rand freaks and a sculpture.
I wonder how hard and how long state officials really look for living heirs? I bet not very hard or for very long. Why would they? If they find no one the money goes to the state coffers.
Hell they found her heir n still only gave the heir half of the money and kept the other half for themselves. I be they'll say court costs or some other b.s. pertaining to how they had to search. Hell UM did the search for them. That's b.s. n I'd be suing for the other half of my inheritance. The government is too damn greedy.
You see how the state works the relative gets half the state keeps the rest. Heres a tip SPEND IT before you die or put the money in the bank in the name of the people you want to give it to cause the state and lawyers are just going to take it all. Why give a lawyer a 3rd of your money when you can give it to your family
Yeah this sounds like the beginning of an unsolved mysteries segment “Tonight, on unsolved mysteries, [insert name] spent years saving for retirement, now her son has taken her money and disappeared”
11:00 - "A blk man approached me and I knew immediately..." When you're at Shipley's Donuts at night (usually in Houston's shadiest locations), and a brotha is coming up on your window, you know shit's going down!
Haha, I was waiting for some shrill, self-righteous do-gooder to mention how evil it was that they said 'a black man walked towards me and I knew I was dead', so I'm glad you didn't go that route.
I know I've watched these over and over, but when I'm at work i listen on my pods all day. But i go home and watch them also. Along with Cole the corn star, Brian cole Sonne.
Great minds think alike. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that they'd go around the corner and see Ron Jeremy or John Holmes pop out with his 3 foot pecker. Lmao!
I was wondering in which season we'd see the Devereux-Johnston connection segment, another very intriguing and scary layer of that chilling Chuck Morgan story.
She kept going back because she liked the $ and the dude's looks. I know it sounds cold but her shalowness and greed are as much to blame as that POS for what happened to her.
she changes her name to protect herself and you tell everyone on this program what it is. that's smart. Why don't you reveal her address and the best time to catch her home while you're at it?
Maybe she changed her name so she could marry her cousin. If so, then all that education she was doing went out the window. Lmao!! All we need now is a banjo and fiddle duo in the background!!! Dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-dee-dee!!!!
Alex Cooper walking in the park with his family and grown children behind him looks like a scene out of a Wes Anderson movie. Come on even the Missing Poster has that Wes Anderson Font "Have you seen this man? " Wes Anderson should turn this into a movie with Bill Murray as the dad and Tilda Swinton as the wife :)
Her name was Barbara Patrovski, she changed it after that horrid nightmare to Jannie Smith, then married a doctor with the same surname as HER real surname she had: Patrovski???? IS that right?
I absolutely HATE governments. The law CLEARLY stated that the estate was to go to the nearest blood relative. They find one, and only give her half. When they couldnt find any other relatives, they should have given her the other half. They didnt and kept it. Like WTF? My will? Im giving EVERYTHING to people. Ill be damned if the state is going to even get a pencil from me. No way.

Why did Oregon get half the estate when they found a relative? Surely inheritance tax isn’t 50%.

I applaud Jennie (and WHY did they give out her new name??) and her amazing husband, who is more of a man than the tool "O'Toole" ever was and the doctor will be long remembered for far more than Tool will EVER be.
Absolutely
Yeah Justice system is crooked aaf
That Katherine Bennett story is my biggest fear to be all alone in the world with no one
That man in the first story was truly a sociopath. I am related to some people who are like this.
I was married to one.
What I want to know about the Richard Minns case is whether anything was done about the corrupt cop and others in the police who enabled and facilitated his atrocious behaviour.😡
Ikr! Wtf
Well, the State of Oregon got tricky with the balance of that estate it seems. They held the money for remaining potential heirs, and when none seemed forthcoming, rather than award that remainder to the one heir, they kept it for their coffers. That's not just objectionable, it's crooked.
What about the costs the state incurs for performing a search of her heirs? Perhaps that's the reason why they kept a portion of the funds. I could be wrong though.
The whole concept is ridiculous. Go around wasting time and resources looking for blood heirs that have never had any contact or relationship whatsoever with the deceased, and they're entitled to money by a distant bloodline??? That should have just gone to her husband's family, and the law saying it can't because he is deceased is either flawed or corrupt.. She was widowed, not divorced, obviously loved him very much....the only viable argument is that she should have made a will since she had so much money to be debated over.
Actually it is a common practice with most states. That is why important to leave a will or at least contact people. Since wills will stand up in court to protect inheritance no matter how little or how much...make a will.
@@destinydesoto2203 - she wasn’t in her in-laws lives either! Hello?
Oregon is a very crooked state
Beauty queen👑 and straight A+ Medical 🚑 student.... Barbra is a catch...!!!
Unfortunately no instinct to run from a psychopath and paid a dear price,her mobility and almost her life.
GOLD DIGGER MORE LIKE IT
@@wheelervette then she would have a pre nup no ?
Proof that justice is not equal.
How the hell could police not even question him?
Thanks for bringing back this brilliant show and would binge watch this show all the time ,loved it ,
I'm so happy for her Jannie Smith, 💓she made a life for herself. Good for her 👏. That gives me hope, even though I'm much older. 🤷♀️. Mine was botched surgery, that has left me disabled. I'm going to keep fighting 💪😤.
Wow, dude got away with everything.
Watch this show long enough and you'll find that many get away with their crimes.
@@daboys1215 Even when they're caught they are barely punished at all. A few years then released.
@@martinjohnson7225 Maybe saying "get away" is a bit too far but their "punishment" does not fit the crime in my opinion.
@@daboys1215 My mother, who is watching the episodes with me, feels the same way. She says, "So much for justice."
The American justice system favors those with money, always has
Why did the state treasury get half of the estate 😑 don't seem right to me
Minns went on to live a full 28 yrs after contracting Barbara's murder. He died in January 2022 @ age 93.
Kirby Kipling. Thank You for the update, it is appreciated. Richard Minns did not deserve to live up to 93 years…..he should have been arrested for attempt of murder on his then wife and die in prison. A very sad case and truly tragic for Barbara/Jani.
@zuzellogan5613
At the end of the day Jani/Barbara won
@@SixerIverson04 how so?
Men like that, not to mention all the people in this comment section blaming the woman, are why I say TRUST NO ONE
What comments?
@D P yes, better than you can.
She was a idiot.
Because the woman always gets blamed in relationships. Men are innocent...dont you know that?
@@melindaroop1346 She was impressed with his $ and looks...shallow and materialistic, that's called, and she paid dearly for it. I know it sounds cold, but the truth hurts.
Richard Minns moved to Israel permanently and somehow became a notable artist despite his horrid past. There are RUclips videos of him speaking. He had an interesting past. Used to work as an editor for The Houston Chronicle after graduating from Texas. Later shifted towards advertising and ended up gaining ownership to a chain of gyms--whom he was doing advertising work for--after the owners ran out of money. This was right about when gyms were starting to become popular, so the business took off not long after.
Damn
Link?
He denounced his US citizenship and went to Ireland and the carribean for long enough to avoid statue of limitations before coming back with fake passports with several names and only got 4 months, then he went to England and then Israel where he is in a milieu of Ayn Rand freaks and a sculpture.
@michael cooper
He also went to Ireland, England and the Carribean.
Well, Barbara's new name is no longer a secret. geez......
Right and then such a weird coincidence that she met and married a man with her own previous last name!
Barbra/Janni is so pretty-she looks a lot like the actress Lindsay Wagner
I wonder how hard and how long state officials really look for living heirs? I bet not very hard or for very long. Why would they? If they find no one the money goes to the state coffers.
Your sure right.
Hell they found her heir n still only gave the heir half of the money and kept the other half for themselves. I be they'll say court costs or some other b.s. pertaining to how they had to search. Hell UM did the search for them. That's b.s. n I'd be suing for the other half of my inheritance. The government is too damn greedy.
Plus, the longer time spent, the greater the fees that can be claimed, I'd guess.
You see how the state works the relative gets half the state keeps the rest. Heres a tip SPEND IT before you die or put the money in the bank in the name of the people you want to give it to cause the state and lawyers are just going to take it all. Why give a lawyer a 3rd of your money when you can give it to your family
Yeah this sounds like the beginning of an unsolved mysteries segment
“Tonight, on unsolved mysteries, [insert name] spent years saving for retirement, now her son has taken her money and disappeared”
that Catherine Widow from Oregon probably started hoarding her house after her husband passed away
I dont understand d why Oregon Treasury got any of that money
maybe years of unpaid taxes on the house.
Property tax is stealing
Oregon is a very corrupt state
wow, the first story, that's horrific.
11:00 - "A blk man approached me and I knew immediately..."
When you're at Shipley's Donuts at night (usually in Houston's shadiest locations), and a brotha is coming up on your window, you know shit's going down!
Haha, I was waiting for some shrill, self-righteous do-gooder to mention how evil it was that they said 'a black man walked towards me and I knew I was dead', so I'm glad you didn't go that route.
@HoustonPD shame your department is filled with corruption.
I know I've watched these over and over, but when I'm at work i listen on my pods all day. But i go home and watch them also. Along with Cole the corn star, Brian cole Sonne.
'I love you so much I lied to you & tricked you to get what I wanted.. because I love you so much'. oh, okay then !
Well in that case, I'll skip this warning sign and go awwww.
It’s sad that because he has cops as friends that they are letting him off
No
That’s how it works in Texas... that’s why lbj and all involved killed jfk there
Texas is where the rich play.
Cooper’s family is so sweet.
Katherine bennet ,so sad,how can 7 billion people be on a planet n someone be so alone :(
Does anyone know why the distant relative only received half whereas the treasury took the other half?
Mims never being questioned by the police doesn't surprise me in the least considering he has such a chummy relationship with them
Richard Minns passed away earlier this year.
Thank goodness
He has to receive his last judgment from God now
26:13 - Weird choice to play classic porn music for this part.
Great minds think alike. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that they'd go around the corner and see Ron Jeremy or John Holmes pop out with his 3 foot pecker. Lmao!
😂
25:13 sounds like OJ had a hand 🖐🏻 in this.
22:13 crooked judges? No one is going to believe that either 🤣😂👍🏻
It’s sad listening to Janni’s story. She went through so much.
Guy takes his pregnant wifes stuff and kicks her out, what a winner he is
I was wondering in which season we'd see the Devereux-Johnston connection segment, another very intriguing and scary layer of that chilling Chuck Morgan story.
Bs to hear all these negative comments blaming the victim.
She was a idiot. Not a victim.
She kept going back because she liked the $ and the dude's looks. I know it sounds cold but her shalowness and greed are as much to blame as that POS for what happened to her.
@@leod.4401 Sit the FUCK down troll
@@FlixCreEightR as r you apparently
Its a disgrace i agree! 🤬
she changes her name to protect herself and you tell everyone on this program what it is. that's smart. Why don't you reveal her address and the best time to catch her home while you're at it?
Is Skip Bayless playing Richard Minns in the re enactment? 😂😂😂
Lmaoooo
Did she change her name from Barbra Piotrowski to Jannie/Jennie Smith and then marry a guy named Piotrowski, too?
Kinda weird eh?
It's confusing.
Exactly what I thought! Lol
Her whole life is just crazy pants.
Maybe she changed her name so she could marry her cousin. If so, then all that education she was doing went out the window. Lmao!! All we need now is a banjo and fiddle duo in the background!!! Dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-dee-dee!!!!
Good for Barbara/ Jenny. O'Tool proves that money can buy you the law.
*Janni
Right, Barbara couldn't see that coming from King's, he cheated on his wife but no way he could start cheating on her.SMH
Alex Cooper walking in the park with his family and grown children behind him looks like a scene out of a Wes Anderson movie. Come on even the Missing Poster has that Wes Anderson Font "Have you seen this man? " Wes Anderson should turn this into a movie with Bill Murray as the dad and Tilda Swinton as the wife :)
27:22 Isn't there something about a Doctor not supposed to have a relationship with a client? anyway happy for her she got her life back on track.
Her name was Barbara Patrovski, she changed it after that horrid nightmare to Jannie Smith, then married a doctor with the same surname as HER real surname she had: Patrovski???? IS that right?
Her name was Piotrowski. She changed it to Patrovska after marrying Jerrold Petrofsky.
Can't help but to say Katherine's cat is so cute!
Why didn't Kathrine's relative get the whole estate instead of just half of it?
Good point
I think that the state gets a large share when there is no will.
Ohhhh man what an amazing TV show.
Barbara has a good attitude.
Why girls always go for married men? Once you know he has a wife...quickly end it for good. SMH!!
She DID NOT KNOW in the beginning. Did you not watch the segment? She found out when the wife showed up!
I absolutely HATE governments. The law CLEARLY stated that the estate was to go to the nearest blood relative. They find one, and only give her half. When they couldnt find any other relatives, they should have given her the other half. They didnt and kept it. Like WTF? My will? Im giving EVERYTHING to people. Ill be damned if the state is going to even get a pencil from me. No way.
100
I haven't dated in thirty years!!
