Hey MI, great video! I follow your videos because I have the same fascination of seeing the places these tragedies took place. I have one suggestion and was hoping it might take place as this video progressed. If not from any type of overlay if you could just talk real briefly about the distances between these areas that would be great for someone such as myself. Btw, I'm from western Pa. and even in my area of small towns there are way too many areas I can point these places out. So much so that I got in trouble with an ex for pointing out a couple of them to my daughter (we watched forensics files as she grew up and she has this big still lol) on a half hour drive to my fathers for a visit. Dude, keep up the great work!

I hope you don't forget to make some exploration videos now and again. These murder videos are simply morbid and don't have the 'magic' of the explores you used to do originally... I could rewatch the highway tunnel explore or the fairground in the woods again and again, but ghoulish murder obsession... I just won't watch fullstop.

James Allen Red Dog .

My hubby went to school with one of his kids, and was a good friend. He said it was very traumatic for the family to go through, because they wanted to believe Pennell was innocent. I used to work about 1/2 mile from the 13/40 split where he'd pick up his victims. You were driving 40 west, he did most of his "hunting" in the New Castle area, where 40 and 13 meet, that's where the prostitutes work, not on 40 west. And it's not I-40, it's Route 40.

Love the true crime reporting on the road it's always such a breath of fresh air compared to the standard interrogation/cold case format

Nice work, this is a few miles away from where I live. I delivered pizza along Rt. 40 during the murders when I was a kid and remember the story well. Rt. 40 area was a sh*thole back then and its the same way today. From the way things are going in Delaware now days the DA would let him out on no cash bail before trial. Its the wild west in Delaware thats why I moved a few miles away to PA.

I definitely found this story interesting. As with most of your “on the road” reports of true crimes, you deliver factual details in a respectful way. You honor the memories of many innocent victims.

Love the channel and being from the UK I had never heard of this case so thank you for the detailed information. Find it really odd that he is buried, as if he was just a normal member of society, in the same place as one of his victims 😔

I remember this. Pennell stalked his victims yet went home to his family like nothing ever happened. His downfall was the carpet in his van. He got the punishment he deserved.

Just for context, the cemetery one of the victims and Pennell were buried in is the north Delaware Catholic cemetery called All Saints. It's a huge place off of Kirkwood highway and most (North DE) Catholics are buried there. Also, seeing you driving the roads of New Castle, Bear, and Glasgow to explain a serial killer was a bit creepy. My next trip to Wawa (or literally anywhere) will be fun 😐. The dreaded "Cannels" we did for HS cross country hills training are even more terrifying now...

Love your channel. You and Lamont have the best channels imo on KZread! I find it fascinating being able to see these places that i would never get to see or learn about otherwise. Thanks for keeping me entertained! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well done, I greatly enjoy your crime stories, condensed but thorough.

Been awhile since I’ve heard about this guy. Thank you for making this video Chris, keep up the great work!

It's NEVER a mannequin.

I came upon your channel accidentally a few weeks ago and enjoyed your work on the video I watched. It was the one about the plane crash in Washington DC. You do a really nice job on these. Thank you for the uploads.

Really Interesting, thanks for uploading!

I remember a TV doc a few years ago where the Killers wife met the sister of the first victim, who said she was turning her life around.l am a retired nurse - how sad she was treated this way ☹️!!

Been watching your stuff for years and you finally did something in the place Im from. I'm in these areas every day my whole life and know the story well from being a kid. Appreciate the time you took to tell the story show the victims and their resting places. I have family in all those cemeteries. Another fact about Delaware is that this is the last state to hang a person. Killer Billy Bailey in Smyrna I believe. And it was 1996. Last in the U.S.

All of your videos are worth a thumbs up. This is a very sad story. I am subscribed. Best regards and keep up the good work. Thanks.

i'm over on Philadelphia Walks PTSD's channel. serious stuff and so sad the scenes from Philly. too accepted these days in society. So glad you popped up in my feed

Great video !!!! I never heard of this story, poor girls

You might want check out the other murderer James Allen Red Dog who was put to death in 1993 for a whole string of crimes and murder in Delaware.

Always look forward to your stories 💚 thank you for your time and work on these. Blessings to you and yours 🙏

I have watched many many of your videos. The interesting places you've visited to the true crime to the interesting grave sites of various people. Subbed for a long time. Keep up the good work. P.s. the ones where you visit old structures always intrigued me. The one about the brick railroad bridge was really interesting.

Always a good time when you send out a video. Just on time. Keep them coming man!!!

How sick, she wanted the van back for her son? I understand you never know if they really needed it back. I don't care if it was my son I would try to find another way. Or, son get a job & get a car that way. I know I couldn't drive a van/car where there were murders committed. What a creep family man by day, murderer by night.

A nutcase maybe, but he knew what he was doing and wanted to do it. He appears to have had a savage temper and a deep-seated hatred of women, and for such a person, a female sex worker or a female hitchhiker is usually the victim of choice. In this case, Pennell may have killed these women as a substitute for killing his wife Vera, but that's just my opinion on the matter. 🤔

I just started watching in the first Lady something happened to her right when she was turning her life around or attempting to. Now I don't say this as being mean or whatever's probably a word for. But I don't know how many times I have heard a news reporter or somebody talking or doing a story for someone has either committed another crime or been killed , and these words resonate they were just starting to turn their life around. I don't know if this is a cliche I guess that's the word. Or it's something that people often say like not speaking badly of someone at a eulogy. Your words just made me remember something always enjoy the videos thank you. 🖖

Another great job with this video. Very awesome story teller. Thanks for the content. Sad that its such a tragic story though

Love your true crime stories, very interesting ♥️😊

People talk about six degrees of Kevin Bacon, in North Delaware, if you were born/alive between the 70's and 80's, there are about three degrees of Steven Pennell. I have a direct connection, a second, and third degree connection. I sat on his lap when I was two when he played Santa at the Dry Goods Store (apparently I reached out to him because he was "Cauky," ie, my word for Santa at two, and he said to my Mom, "she wants me to hold her!"), an old co-worker was the lead Sgt. on the pod in the jail he was held in before trial, and an old friend/boss went to high school with his niece. Wait, also an old Priest of mine/my family tried to plead for his life after his conviction and I'm from off of Route 40. That night that my parents started pointing out all the places the bodies were dumped on the way home from a family diner out still creeps me out to this day.

He’s not the first serial killer to ask for execution….maybe the first after a death penalty was reinstated? Also, if they lived in a trailer park, I’m not surprised they would be desperate for the van.

If I found out my husband was a serial killer, I would not try to get the van back thats for sure!! How scary the world is. That nurse was trying to better her life like everyone else and now she is gone like the others. Love these true story videos from you!

IMHO murderers who are either executed or die in prison should be buried in the criminals cemetery of the prison with only a number or cremated and the ashes flushed down the toilet or dumped somewhere where people don't know. There are plenty of loons out there that will hero worship these people and its prudent to keep the murderers grave away from the public to stop it becoming some sort of sick shire. Also out of respect for the victim,. in this case the murderer is buried in the same cometary as one of his victims. How would the family members of the victim feel that their family member was in the same cemetery as the person who killed her.

Fascinating. Thanks, Chris!

I don't recall any other death sentence , being executed, (no pun intended), so swiftly, in modern times. Convicted in 91 & executed in 92. Usually it takes 15 or 20 years.

My step dad worked with this guy. I remember him telling me he thinks he killed the one girl while they were working and staying over night in a motel. Said his room was only a couple doors down.

Saw a TV doc about him on UK TV years ago
