Love the series only just found out a out them this week seeing the investigation to trial then sometime 20 40 years later updates and re visiting actual evidence it's really one of the best shows out there each major city should have this "evidence room" series
This is about my 4th case I have watched, why have I not heard about your channel? The Evidence Room is very well presented. May all the victims of this evil monster rest in peace.

I know of this channel because they have regular local news stories and I always click when there is something I want to see, but the Evidence Room I'm not too sure about. I watch so many crime, missing etc etc shows on KZread.
I’m hooked on the Evidence Room now!

me too it just popped up in my queue
This was wonderful. I was at the edge of my seat.
What about Kenneth McDuff from Texas, killed 3 teenagers in 1966, got parole and killed and killed again.
My heart goes out to the families of all the victims who's lives was sadly changed. This demonic sadistic monster is in no way human. How can anyone human kill just to be a killer? No robbery no sa that's no way human only monsters do that.

@@judahwilliams9299Hi..Wondering where I could find that info on his son?
I dont know how Watts slipped under my radar bit thanks so much for bringing this story back into the light of day.
He died from meningitis and a demon possessed his body. He did not see evil in his victim’s eyes. He saw innocence and godliness.
Very interesting story! Way to go Mr. Foy!

Gotta love that guy.
I really like this show!! I remember that murdering machine Eugene Watts. I remember Michigan contacting texas about the serial killer on the run. Crazy story especially when that tiny woman got out did a flip and ran for help. She not only saved herself but her friend from being drowned? I can't believe Texas almost released a serial killer? That's probably why the death house is so busy these days?
God bless witness Joseph Foy for his relentless follow-up. Thank you Joseph. The world needs more Joseph Foys.
I remember this serial killer. I remember reading the paper. And the newspaper said how Michigan sent info on Watts. Anyways, I enjoyed the video thank you
He was a MONSTER!!
13:23 This is exactly the reason detectives can't tell the mum every detail of the case, she would tell the media everything
First time on this podcast. 👍

Hope you enjoyed it!
The mother moving on, has a picture that shows she has a heart in her throat. Symbolically...it's touching... Bless her heart for never given up. No telling how many others she saved from him. I remember hearing the news a jogger had been hung, where we walked all the time. If I remember correctly he picked her up, hanging her on a tree branch.
The enormity of what that monster did is almost beyond belief. May all of his innocent victims rest in peace.
Church, nightclub & breakfast sounds like a great night
I remember when they were considering releasing him.. scary times, peaked my true crime interest
Michigan? Killing machine? How many more clues are there?
We shouldn't have to live like this.
Really? Was he that easily avoided ? Don't go out on Sunday morni as.
Church, then nightclub...? Really is that normal to do for christians...??😵💫
I was in prison with coral Eugene watts he was my cellmate in Jackson prison in Michigan. We were cellmates for over a year never knew he was a serial killer until about a year ago. I remember when he died in 2007 I was released in 2008. Him and I were friends because we were both from Texas. But I'm like wow I would have never in a million years though he was a serial killer
