13
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.679
maybe not like here, but yeah, but the seventies, the seventies,

14
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.239
for sure, I wish. But
here we are, and here we

15
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.239
are in the twentiess. All right, well, Price, let's talk about

16
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.120
Price, Utah. Back then it
was a pretty safe place to live,

17
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.519
and it was a great place as
far as Loretta Jones was concerned to raise

18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.640
her four year old daughter, Heidi. Loretta was a single young mom at

19
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.719
just twenty three years old. She
had so much on her plate. She

20
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.640
was taking accounting classes, she was
being a full time mom, but guess

21
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.439
what, she was getting the fucking
job done. And her daughter, Heidi,

22
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.719
who again was four years old,
absolutely adored her mother. They had

23
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.519
like this close bond to the two
of them. Now. She remembered being

24
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.799
with her mom, like following her
around the house as Loretta would do like

25
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.280
ironing or cooking household chores, and
she remembered getting ice cream with her mom,

26
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.000
and how much Loretta loved to listen
to music, like she'd put on

27
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.319
the radio and just dance all around
the house. I love that core memories,

28
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.760
Yes, like beautiful core memories,
and all of Heidi's memories of her

29
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.239
mother, they're up until the morning
of July twenty excuse me, thirty first,

30
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.280
nineteen seventy. They're precious memories that
every kid should have with their mom,

31
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.319
like memories that they can just reminisce
on later in life and just like

32
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.360
have a good time being like,
oh my gosh, mom, do you

33
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.919
remember when we used to do this? Yeah, you know. But unfortunately

34
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.080
that was not the case for Heidi
or Lauretta. They were robbed of that

35
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.680
opportunity. When Heidi woke up at
four years old on July thirty first,

36
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.520
nineteen seventy, she remembered that she
was scared, and she wasn't so sure

37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.639
what exactly she was scared of,
but there was just this feeling in the

38
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.240
air that freaked her out, and
she was so apprehensive that she actually peeked

39
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.159
out of the keyhole of her bedroom
door before venturing out into the living room.

40
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.439
That's wild. At four, she
already had that like that intuitive sense

41
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.120
our bodies do. Yeah, they
totally do. We just don't listen to

42
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.000
them as adults. That's the kids
do, and that's well, that's my

43
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.879
kids are way more subject to like
paranormal activity and things like because they're just

44
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.840
open they are. So Heidi looks
through the whole of her room and so

45
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.719
she's like in her room looking out
into the living room, and when she

46
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.919
peeks through, she sees that somebody's
lying on the floor in blood. And

47
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.599
when she opens up that door to
inspect a bit closer, she realizes that

48
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.240
the someone lying on the floor was
her mother, twenty three year old Lauretta

49
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.520
try God, and she was four
four years old. So she ran outside

50
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.039
to see if she could get any
help, and that's when she saw one

51
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.919
of her neighbors out in his front
yard. He was like a little kid,

52
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.000
and in every source it says that
he was looking for bugs and critters

53
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.280
just to use his bait to go
fishing later that day. And I just

54
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.479
feel like that is such a good
example of how you can just be so

55
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.680
totally oblivious to like what other people
might be bathroom and like, you know,

56
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.520
you might just be having a perfectly
great day and this is what's going

57
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.400
on store. You have no idea
what's happening. The perfect example of again

58
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.360
why we should always treat others with
kindness. So when Heidi ran up to

59
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.560
the boy, she told him I
think my mommy is dead. Oh my

60
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.639
god, which ruined me reading that. Oh. So the boy runs over

61
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.520
to her house with her and they
peek into the doorway and he's like,

62
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.919
I think you're right. So he
runs. He tells his parents. They

63
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.639
take Heidie in and they call the
police and when the police arrived, there

64
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.120
was no doubt that Loretta Jones had
died. She had been murdered. She

65
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.480
was lying in a pool of her
own blood on her own living room floor.

66
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:23.600
Oh my god. So immediately the
police wondered if this case had anything

67
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.600
to do with an incident that they'd
actually been called to the night before,

68
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.720
just a couple blocks away from Loretta
and Heidi's home. Oh so, a

69
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.439
few blocks away, a ten year
old girl named Laurie Coulo was outside playing

70
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.279
with her brother and his friend.
And the brother and his friend were out

71
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.319
on the front yard playing and she
was in the same area, but she

72
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.680
was kind of riding her bike.
I think out in the street. Doesn't

73
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.079
sound like it was very busy.
It was like later at night. She's

74
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.160
doing little loops on her bike.
And apparently the two boys didn't realize that

75
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.279
she was still outside when they went
back inside, and it actually took Laurie

76
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.920
a few minutes too to realize that
she was outside alone, and she was

77
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.079
like, oooh, like it's darkout, I got to get inside. So

78
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.000
she starts to head in for the
night, but as she's doing so,

79
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.759
she sees a man out of the
corner of her eye. Then she just

80
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:12.319
thinks for a second like registers that, and she immediately noticed his hat.

81
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.439
It was a bright yellow hat and
it had some kind of bold floral print

82
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.639
all over it. Now, before
she knew it, this man came rushing

83
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.399
toward her grabbed her from behind.
She was struggling to get away with him

84
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.439
from him because the way that he
grabbed her made it so that both of

85
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.079
her arms were behind her back.
Oh my god, and he had a

86
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.680
hand over her mouth. Now,
luckily, she was able to actually get

87
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.959
her hand away from her mouth for
like a split second. And I read

88
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.759
in a couple sources that it was
because she was chewing bubblegum and she pushed

89
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.480
the bubblegum out of her mouth as
she was screaming. Oh my god,

90
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.959
he must have taken his hand to
yeah, like not knowing what it was.

91
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.959
So as he led his hand away
for like a split second, she

92
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.240
let out like a blood curling scream, and the man let go of her

93
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.879
instantly and started running away for good. Just as Laurie's brother and his friend

94
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.079
were coming outside to see why the
heck she was screaming, so she quickly

95
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.319
tells them she points in the direction. She's like, this man tried to

96
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.600
grab me. So the boys run
off after him, but it's too late.

97
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.920
Oh but something they noticed too was
this man's yellow hat, because it

98
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.920
had fallen off as he was running
away, and he actually even took a

99
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:24.240
second to pick it up and grab
it up as he was running away.

100
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.360
Which is wild that he chose to
wear that hat to do these horrible things

101
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.959
that he definitely did. Yeah,
it is. So this man managed to

102
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.759
get away that night. But this
man would end up serving time for the

103
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.680
attempted abduction and eventually they would get
him on murder charges. Oh, same

104
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.240
man. It might just take forty
six years to do the ladder. Holy

105
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:51.519
shit, forty six years. Forty
six years. Hey, Prime members,
