  Apologies for the wait on this one. I have been going through a lot of things IRL, and I also had lots of technical issues with this. I hope the video was worth the wait, and I am excited to cover some more cases very soon!

  Thank you for raising awareness of these poor victims. There definitely seems to be 2 or 3 (at least ) killers involved here. I dont think there should be any statute of limitations for serious crimes. Ever.

  That poor 11 year old girl who was violated before being killed... I cannot imagine how terrible it is to die in absolute fear.. May she, and all the other victims rest in peace.

  If there was bodily fluids found on the victims, they could DNA test it now with all the advancements. Prime reason why statute of limitations should never be a thing for murder cases.

  If these crimes went on unnoticed in a school building until only they emptied the septic tanks shows that it was most definitely a school staff member. Someone they would never suspect walking on school grounds. Truly sad. <br><br>There were no signs of break ins in the first case, and it is thought that the second lady died inside the school. The killer knew that the boys’ locker room was not used for a long time. I’m surprised police could not come to that conclusion.

  I liked how you focus on the victims, telling us about their lives and families. This is so tragic to hear about and how it was hard to solve, I get the feeling there wasn&apos;t just one person doing this.

  Definitely more than one killer in this one. The MO changes. There are most likely three. The first one had a connection to the school the last one was probably the police&apos;s suspect that was charged. The third is the most puzzling someone with a female accomplice... Any further investigation needs to separate the cases along these lines. The man responsible for the final three victims if it is the suspect that was charged is hopeful constantly watched because his confidence and MO would indicate he really has a taste for it and having gotten away with it he will surely strike again in the future.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iWvKkoM2JM&amp;t=798">13:18</a> poor woman. She probably never moved on but when they found her child’s body, it probably felt worse than when she first lost her. They just confirmed her worst fear. 😢💔

  I was quite excited to see this was an hour, and watched the whole thing. I think it still would have been interesting if you didn&apos;t cut things out. These documentaries should be as long as they need to. The septic tank bodies are especially haunting because it&apos;s just so degrading. I found it interesting that the victims got older with the years

  Just in case no one has mentioned it, the reason they can&apos;t use mitochondrial DNA to convict is that it&apos;s very consistent matrilinearly, which is to say that a person&apos;s mother, grandmother, and so on generally have the same mitochondrial DNA. &nbsp;People inherit the mitochondrial DNA of their mother, so especially in areas where many people are from the same family, you can&apos;t do much to narrow suspects down by mitochondrial DNA alone. &nbsp;It sounds like a lot of people in the area were related, so that&apos;s probably what happened here especially. &nbsp;<br>This is a great video, really detailed and I think you&apos;re probably right that there are most likely two different culprits. &nbsp;I almost wonder if the members of that gang preying on women went on to do this as adults.
