18
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, but the seventies, the seventies, for sure, I wish.

19
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>But here we are, and here we are, all right. Well, Price,

20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about Price, Utah. Back then, it was a

21
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 2>pretty safe place to live. And it was a great

22
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>place as far as Loretta Jones was concerned to raise

23
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>her four year old daughter, Heidi. Loretta was a single

24
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>young mom at just twenty three years old. She had

25
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>so much on her plate. She was taking accounting classes,

26
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>she was being a full time mom. But guess what,

27
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>she was getting the fucking job done. And her daughter, Heidi,

28
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>who again was four years old, absolutely adored her mother.

29
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>They had like this close bond the two of them. Now,

30
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>she remembered being with her mom, like following her around

31
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>the house as Loretta would do like ironing or cooking

32
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>household chores. And she remembered getting ice cream with her mom,

33
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and how much Loretta loved to listen to music, like

34
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>she put on the radio and just dance all around

35
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the house. I love that core memories, Yes, like beautiful

36
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>core memories, and all of Heidi's memories of her mother

37
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>up until the morning of July twenty excuse me, thirty first,

38
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy. They're precious memories that every kid should have

39
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>with their mom, Like memories that they can just reminisce

40
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 2>on later in life and just like have a good

41
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>time being like, oh my gosh, Mom, do you remember

42
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 2>when we used to do this, Yeah, you know, But

43
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately that was not the case for Heidi or Loretta.

44
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>They were robbed of that opportunity. When Heidi woke up

45
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>at four years old on July thirty first, nineteen seventy,

46
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>she remembered that she was scared, and she wasn't so

47
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>sure what exactly she was scared of, but there was

48
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>just this feeling in the air that freaked her out,

49
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and she was so apprehensive that she actually peeked out

50
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>of the keyhole of her bedroom door before venturing out

51
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>into the living room. That's wild. At four, she already

52
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>had that like that intuitive sense our bodies do. Yeah,

53
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>they totally do. We just don't listen to them as adults.

54
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what the kids do. And that's well, that's why

55
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 2>kids are way more subject to like paranormal activity and

56
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 2>things like that, because they're just open they are. So

57
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Heidi looks through the keyhole of her room and so

58
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>she's like in her room looking out into the living room,

59
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and when she peeks through, she sees that somebody's lying

60
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 2>on the floor in blood. And when she opens up

61
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>that door to inspect a bit closer, she realizes that

62
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>the someone lying on the floor was her mother, twenty

63
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>three year old Loretta chan God and she was four

64
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 2>or four years old. Oh so she ran outside to

65
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>see if she could get any help, and that's when

66
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>she saw one of her neighbors out in his front yard.

67
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 2>He was like a little kid, and in every source

68
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>it says that he was looking for bugs and critters

69
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>just to use his beat to go fishing later that day.

70
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>And I just feel like that is such a good

71
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>example of how you can just be so totally oblivious

72
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>to like what other people might be through, and like,

73
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, you might just be having a perfectly great

74
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>day and this is what's going on next door. You

75
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>have no idea what's happening. The perfect example of again

76
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>why we should always treat others with kindness. So when

77
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Heidi ran up to the boy, she told him, I

78
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>think my mommy is dead. Oh my god, which ruined

79
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>me reading that. Oh So the boy runs over to

80
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>her house with her and they peek into the doorway

81
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, I think you're right, So he runs.

82
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>He tells his parents. They take Heidie in and they

83
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>call the police, and when the police arrived, there was

84
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 2>no doubt that Loretta Jones had died, she had been murdered.

85
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>She was lying in a pool of her own blood

86
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>on her own living room floor. My god. So immediately

87
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>the police wondered if this case had anything to do

88
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 2>with an incident that they'd actually been called to the

89
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 2>night before, just a couple blocks away from Loretta and

90
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Heidie's home. Oh so, a few blocks away, a ten

91
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>year old girl named Laurie Coolo was outside playing with

92
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>her brother and his friend. And the brother and his

93
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 2>friend were out on the front yard playing and she

94
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>was in the same area, but she was kind of

95
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>riding her bike. I think out in the street. Doesn't

96
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 2>sound like it was very busy. It was like later

97
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>at night. She's doing little loops on her bike. And

98
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>apparently the two boys didn't realize but that she was

99
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 2>still outside when they went back inside. And it actually

100
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>took Laurie a few minutes too to realize that she

101
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>was outside alone, and she was like, ooh, like it's

102
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 2>dark out, I gotta get inside. So she starts to

103
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>head in for the night, but as she's doing so,

104
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>she sees a man out of the corner of her eye.

105
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Then she just thinks for a second like registers that,

106
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>And she immediately noticed his hat. It was a bright

107
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>yellow hat and it had some kind of bold floral

108
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>print all over it. Now, before she knew it, this

109
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>man came rushing toward her. He grabbed her from behind.

110
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>She was struggling to get away with him from him

111
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 2>because the way that he grabbed her made it so

112
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>that both of her arms were behind her back. Oh

113
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>my god, and he had a hand over her mouth. Now, luckily,

114
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>she was able to actually get her hand away from

115
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>her mouth for like a split second. And I read

116
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>in a couple sources that it was because she was

117
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>chewing bubblegum and she pushed the bubble gum out of

118
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>her mouth as she was screaming, Oh my god, he

119
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>must have taken his hand to yeah, like not knowing

120
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>what it was. So as he led his hand away

121
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>for like a split second, she let out like a

122
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 2>blood curling scream, and the man let go of her

123
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>instantly and started running away from her. Good just as

124
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Laurie's brother and his friend were coming outside to see

125
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 2>why the heck she was screaming, so she quickly tells

126
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 2>them she points in the direction She's like this man

127
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>tried to grab me, so the boys run off after him,

128
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 2>but it's too late. But something they noticed too was

129
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>this man's yellow hat, because it had fallen off as

130
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>he was running away, and he actually even took a

131
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.480
<v Speaker 2>second to pick it up and grab it up as

132
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 2>he was running away. Which is wild that he chose

133
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>to wear that hat to do these horrible things that

134
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 2>he definitely did. Yeahah, it is. So this man managed

135
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to get away that night, but this man would end

136
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.079
<v Speaker 2>up serving time for the attempted abduction and eventually they

137
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>would get him on murder charges. Oh, same man. It

138
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>might just take forty six years to do the latter.

139
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Holy shit, forty six years, forty six years.
