so happy DNA testing etc. is evolving
What are people thinking when they hear a woman screaming? I hope that they feel guilty, and take that guilt to their graves.
So the neighbor saw all that and didn’t call police?!!!!
8:26 kevin spacey is the killer
Rowe has since withdrawn his guilty plea and now claims he’s innocent.
Yeah right.
The woman in the green blouse is so hard to listen to. Spit it out! Talks sooooo slowwwww.
I am not a fan of these negotiated pleas.
Everyone born should be swabbed and keep their DNA sample stored it will reduce criminals on the streets
I don't get how a random news article about some guy cooking food could lead to finding a killer. Sounds like luck was on her side to come across this totally random small fact about a random guy in one entire town.
You hear a scream, and you don't call 911?!!!
When these POS are caught..they must suffer..I mean ,really suffer…..
Bill Kurtis must be one of the best true crime narrator ,ever…..watching other crime stories here on YT ,it is hard to find a true sincere person ,most of them are just filming themselves listening to themselves playing (bad) actor…
I live in Lancaster 😂😂😂😂 crazy I’ve never heard of this case
So many screams often with murders but no one ever calls cops or runs to see at the time!! ðŸ¤â€
Yahhhss I remember when they caught him!
Awesome 👠good work
So I heard my neighbors scream this past summer, husband and I grabbed the phone and were dialing 911 as we were running out the front door to help. It takes a village people!! Love thy neighbor remember♥ï¸Â😳🥰!!!!
AFTER HE DIES, DOES BODY DO THE TIME LEFT?
Goes to show you can't judge a book by it's cover. He looks like such a clean cut nice guy. I wonder if he has any other victims out there somewhere.
Neighbors!!!!!!!!!!! This was the time to be “Nosey Neighborsâ€Â. Shame on you guys🤦â€Â♀ï¸Â
