My understanding of Elizabeth Barthory, she had a friend that she was extremely close with, who was a psychopath, it seems like maybe Elizabeth was framed, due to both her friend and the laws at that time, Iwatched this on another channel, it seems like ir was a conflation of being a widow and the lack of willingness for her debtor to pay back what he owed her and her family, I can't understand why she didn't send someone too get the owed money back. Having said all this she had a difficult time and I suspect the church had to find a victim and they needed her too be set up as an example.

My wife is RH- and I'm RH+. She had these injections 3 times for each of our 3 children and I am forever grateful to the generous donors who let us have our 3 babies.

Having recently listened to Simon's Casual Criminalist episode about Pedro Lopez, I honestly and genuinely feel bad for Simon having to rehash the story. That episode really seemed to have traumatized our dear Simon, it really took a toll on him telling that horrible monster's story, I've never seen/heard Simon that outraged. God bless you Simon, and since Halloween has passed, I would encourage you to present some lighter material for your own mental health. Your audience loves everything you do, sir, and we care about you, so if you need to, feel free to take a break from the real macabre shit, maybe tell us more about space or crazy heists or stupid business ideas, some lighter stuff will do us all well.

I mean, he did choose to create the Casual Criminalist channel. Not like he was hired or anything. I do really miss Callum's writing though. On an unrelated note, as Callum once said, "This is not a competition, that would be sick. But if it were, we'd (Great-Britain) win."

Here in Iowa we just had a woman come forward and say she helped her dad hide the bodies of more than 70 people over 30 years. They're attempting to locate the bodies in an old well right now. Edit: I'm not saying this is true, I'm not saying this would make him one of the most prolific killers. I'm just saying it's relevant. This would possibly put him towards the top of uncaught killers.

The cops don't need to know/believe you. If you're a reporter your word is gonna be trusted in your area. Make sure to make your assumption known, and have others do the same if they're willing, to give validation. Police don't catch killers until they've already done a lot. It's basically a waiting game. The important thing is getting the public to see why you believe it and getting the women to take you seriously and protect themselves.

Thank you so much for the ending. I am RH+ and my mother is RH-. My siblings and I only exist because of this man!

So... I guess ralph waldo emerson would consider my years volunteering at the community garden success. Since the bulk of the produce produced there goes to the nearby foot pantry at the community center. It used to be a meal site, until Covid came. If you're wondering, the most productive vegetables we've had were turnip greens, mustard greens, arugula and stringbeans. We also managed to get a couple dozen patty pan squashes this year, some of them one or two pounds each. But its not just the pounds of vegetables or servings of food I count success by at the community garden. Every year i try to put on a demonstration display, usually another attempt at growing the "three sisters." Never fully turns out right. This year I added Takane Ruby buckwheat to them as a display. And when over the years we got a number of elderly people asking if we had rhubarb, I dipped into my own pockets and bought a bare root rhubarb plant, which exploded in growth this year (its second.) A cherry tomato cultivar called "Juliet" has also repeatedly produced pounds of tomatoes and sprawled as much as eight feet across the ground. And we routinely get large harvests of flat leaved parsley, which reseeds in the same garden bed reliably. I've added tea and cooking herbs to a long narrow bed on the margins, which produces anise hyssop for tea and oregano for cooking. The chives were already there, and I had to manually curb their spread before they take over the entire herb bed. Basil has never done well in those beds, and so it gets a spot at the edges of the other beds. However, it cannot beat the greens I mentioned at the start. Why? Because as the band Rise Against would put it, I believe "we were all born with the moral obligation to leave this world a better place than the world that we found." It gives me accomplishment, peace, some food, and hopefully helps neighborhood morale. We've lost too many people to alcohol and opiates, and there's still too much violence and drama that tends to show up unannounced connected to those two things.

I remember on the news in Australia when James Harrison retired from giving blood. What a champion!

Simon and all, I can see your uncomfortable nature as well as distaste in making this video, and while there is a sad chance that this could be demonetized I want to say thank you for your professionalism in filming, editing and posting this. Amazing work from an amazing creating staff.

My dad died when I was 16. Made me co sider suicide but never thought I needed to kill someone I didn't know..

I never knew this question would be so complicated to answer

Talking about the RH negative blood type in the cleanser! My mom is actually a RH negative blood type! She has anemia, which runs in her family,so they have told her she is unable to give blood. But! I am actually the last of her children because of her blood type. I was born a whole month earlier than I was supposed to. She had told the doctor that something was wrong and he ignored her sending her home to have her water break in the car. But because of my older siblings and myself being positive blood type from our biological dads (I was a happy accident from my mom trying to find a new partner after her divorce) my mother was told that she could have the possibility of dying if she had another child. So my mom waited a year after me to make sure she wanted to have her tubes tied. So it’s actually awesome hearing about how someone was so super amazing to be able to donate that much blood and save so many lives! Thank you so much Simon (and of course the writer(s))!

Fellow Casual Criminalist listeners definitely know why Simon said Pedro’s name in that tone of voice.

Interesting history, thank you for the perspective.

I owe my own life and that of my children to Harrison. I was a non-reponder to the Anti D treatment and lost a dozen pregnancies before 24wks and two newborns because of Rh disease. I also had transfusions every day of my last two pregnancies which resulted in two awesome people that I'm privileged to know. Thanks so much. Xx

Thank goodness for Mr. Goering and Mr. Harrison! Those were wonderful stories to have as a palate cleanser. I know Simon hated having to talk about Pedro Lopez again. He often mentions on The Casual Criminalist what a horrible monster Lopez was!

Even though he sounds a true monster, Garavito might need his own CC episode, if Simon is up to dealing with someone else with more than a whiff of Simon's bête noir Pedro Lopez about him. At least the victims might get some recognition from the awesome writers and our fact boi. EDIT: WTF Colombia? I know it's not always been the safest place but, wow...

My dad's blood type is the universal donor so he spent almost 40 years donating blood.

He donated so much that they gave him gifts like free tickets to things. He only stopped when he developed some health conditions that made him ineligible.

Regarding Albert Goering, it's surprising that none of the many people he'd helped during the war didn't repay the favor when Albert had fallen on hard times. Perhaps he didn't feel right asking for such help. Or perhaps he lost track of all those people. Either way, it's incredibly sad that his life had a sad end, giveb how much good he did during the war.
