Jiles, thank so much for showing respect for the victims by saying their names and showing their faces and talking about how the families of these ladies were left to deal with the aftermath of this monster's despicable crimes. As you pointed out, so often the killer's name lives on while the victims die in ambiguity, almost like one last insult. Thanks for all that you do to shine a light on all of their stories.

I was wondering if any of the victims were mother's or married. I just like to know about them on a little more personal level as to honor them.

Eh, if you're used to filthy situations, I can see it.

The smell of decomp of an animal is similar, but not as intense I imagine (on account of size) but if you're used to squalor or are expecting it, you can probably excuse just about anything.

I spank kids when they are mean I don't beat You don't have to abuse any child to discipline them .. kids love me and beg to be with me. They also know I'm a gonna paddle um if they do something they know better of. It never hurt them Children need to know we love them to keep them out of trouble and that we hug and give kisses and nose rubs and trips to fun places and goodies ... Now before any one fuses at me I have had my hands in many children's lives They are all alive Most are doing just fine and they all all still call me big mama and tell me they love n miss me cause I kept it real with them w/ love I just wonder if these terrible people had had that kind of love and guidance how they would have been and lived ... Just my thoughts.
I don't understand when they say they need to register as a sex offender and they never do. Why can't they register them the day before they get out of prison. And they should have a better way of watching these monsters.

The moment you mentioned the neighbors noticing a smell, I wondered if this was the one I always remember for the sausage place that got blamed, and sure enough there it was. They spent a lot of money trying to get rid of the smell they weren’t even causing. It’s minor next to his crimes, but I feel badly for them, too.

It's too bad she also wasn't held accountable. None of the grandchildren who were beaten and raped became vile serial killers so anyone using that as an excuse can go to hell.

That poor sausage plant being fined and forced to renovate multi times... And the terrible odor was Sowell's victims decomposing. That sausage plant should have been recompensated
Most of the victims were prostitutes and or drug addicts, too. The police deserve a LOT of criticism due to the fact that they didn’t do rape kits on at least one of his victims who went to the police after he attacked her. The smell from “Ray’s Sausage” also should have tipped them off since they made at least one visit to his home. I’ve read and watched a lot about Anthony, it’s horrific what he got away with for so long.

Yeah yeah yeah - what you people don’t get is that by living that lifestyle you make it nearly impossible to build a legitimate rape case - and on top of that reporting rape when someone doesn’t pay also makes it hard to believe it when it really happens. Of course cops should care amor every case no matter who the victim is but it’s not as simple as “cops don’t care about prostitutes”, it’s a complex situation
Thanks again for all your work on these.. it’s not easy to do these stories.. and your efforts are appreciated

Thank you so much for mentioning all the victims. You’re right it seems like they get lost in all the hype of the killer. One thing that would devastate a psychopath most is to forget his name and remember the ones that deserve to be remembered. This might make some mad, but I don’t care if he was beaten to a pulp everyday of his life, he does not have the right to take someone’s life. Same with molestation, it baffles me how the victim turns into the victimizer when they know exactly how it feels.
I've studied serial killers since I was ten years old, started with Jack The Ripper. I've only seen this case covered twice, and you've done the superior job.

Don't think I didn't notice this entirely new format delving into psych. I remember you did a survey asking ppl what they wanted and maybe a lot of ppl checked the psych box. Good that this case was covered.
Seen this already. It just fucks with my soul.
Good documentary on this dude. Called "Unseen" it's currently on Amazon.
Bundy's mother wasn't abusive or neglectful and yet he was truly a monster. I believe the other end of the spectrum can be just as damaging. His mother on the stand after all she knew about the atrocities he committed acted as though he were an angel on earth. Too much coddling can be considered abuse also. It was disturbing to watch and hear her complicity during his penalty phase.

The timing of this considering what's going on in Excelsior Springs, Missouri is unnerving. (It also is similar to what Ariel Castro, someone I saw mentioned in other comments, did in Cleveland.) If you're here and you haven't heard yet, we may be about to experience another one of these but in real time. Woman escaped from a man's home Friday morning while he was taking his 8 year old son to school. Suspect has been charged with r*pe, kidnapping and assault. (Clay County) According to neighbors, 12 barrels have been pulled from the home. (The big blue plastic ones. Yes, if you've seen D*hmer it looks similar to the one in his apartment.) To be clear, that, as of now is from eyewitnesses, NOT the police. (The neighbor whose home the fleeing woman ended up at was interviewed by Hidden True Crime. I only mention the channel because I haven't seen the 12 barrel detail anywhere else, and I don't want to sound like an insider who isn't.) Will this play out in a similar fashion as the Strangler did? It's tough to say. But considering how long LE has been working that house/property (full two days, perhaps three depending on when they got started), plus a bunch of other bits and bobs that stood out to me, IMHO this has the potential to be a big, brand new Monster. I mean, *12* barrels. Stay safe out there people.

I don't think Castro actually intended to kill anyone. He was gathering his very own Haram full of "sex slaves" so he could have anything he wanted, anytime he wanted it. Too bad he offed himself. It would have been nice to see him growing very old in prison/awaiting the death penalty. I'm going to try to find an article or some info on that situation you mentioned. Thanks!

Good video, and he deserves all he gets. However, it's not "sleazy" to make the legal arguments that his attorney's made. They were just doing their job, which is to vigorously defend their client. When this man's rights are protected, all our rights are protected.
I am always surprised how many women are comfortable going into a strangers home. It’s clear he made them feel comfortable and nothing stuck out to them or they ignored their gut feelings

I'm always surprised in cases like this and Dhamer, I think Gacey, and others....is when people start recognizing what I refer to as "Rotty dead body" smell and it's always just put off as something else... It's such a unique smell I don't get it. People are willing to believe whatever in order to not have to look at the truth. If you smell something you're sure is death....look til you figure it out.

I lived like a few streets over (3 at the most) and often walked home alone late at night as a teenager. Now as an adult I realize how effin crazy I was for being out like that at night and how I could’ve been a victim. However my current partners aunt was not so lucky and was one of the victim found in the house. The crazy part of the police taking so long to respond is the 4th district police station is probably less than a half mile away from this house a mile at the most smh
