  • has anyone bothered to ask how the fuck the dude found his house.. / trailer / mums trailer

  • @jaynebaby1 He does look like Steve Urkel! LOL!

  • All niggers are animals all niggers would kill if they thought they could get away with it. Fuckin they are lower than animals at least animals kill fro a reason a nigger does not. America could be great if all the niggers would die.

  • Niggers are violent, niggers will rape, murder, rob, steal and do anything that destroys. You are walking on thin ice when dealing with niggers anything will set them off. Fucking animals can never be trusted. Do it at your own peril.

  • Your all crazy by saying the things your saying ...... Charles Holden spent 12+ years in PRISON for these stupid ass Forensic shit .... and studied Law books ENOUGH and BEAT this case against him..... That sucks that an inosent man had to spend time in prison for something he never did..... I wonder how he is now did the damn judge and jury set him up for the rest of his life they are the dumn asses that wrongly accused HIM.....!!!??? You people need to study up on this some more.

  • there is no god. and this guy was a total idiot hick.

  • Either way Charles Holden is an idiot, You think he would at least call his mother's house first before calling the police, just to make sure she locks everything up. Or even to tell her to leave the house. Or at least drive to the house first, pick his mum up, then call the police.

  • @ElSpewtardo She was asleep, so she probably wouldn't have been able to answer the phone. Locking the house wouldn't have mattered anyways, as the killer broke the window and unlocked the door from the other side. Charles did the right thing to call the police, even though he lost his mom as a result.

  • @Daffneyfan Maybe the phone ringing would have woke his mum. Regardless, he should have driven over there if he was concerned about her.

  • @ElSpewtardo Hindsight is 20/20. It all happened very fast and unexpectedly.

  • Ew, I would NEVER give a complete stranger a ride. I'm a 22 year old female. I can't trust any stranger getting in my car. I'd just tell them to call a taxi and drive off.

  • @Sallyallie89 I agree, I wouldn't have picked him up either. Keep in mind though, this was a small town where nothing ever happens and people tend to be friendly. He probably wasn't used to those crazy type of guys who hit people up for rides or in some cases money.

  • @troydeancarpenter This is true. Even so, I've heard too many stories similar to this one where hitch hikers turn out to be bad people. Now if I were a giant man with huge muscles I might be okay with it, but being a young girl I'm too afraid to do it. Too many risks involved haha.

  • why do we let savages live? Just kill them. God bless sharia law.

  • The sketch kinda looks like Steve Urkel. lol.

  • One more point, what small town Guy doesn't own a gun????? I mean there the ones that are mostly afraid of outsiders Come on who believes this bullcrap

  • But nuthing missing? I mean really? If u kill why not steal? Sounds mad fishy. Small town?, black Guy magically there. I mean did anyone bother to see if she had a policy saying the son would get money. Always blame the black man. Whites always lie on blacks for crimes, its proven. I don't believe this I say the son killed her and blamed the black Guy. Seriously he just magically appeared????

  • I'm black and I will say most blacks don't act this way TV makes whites believe we do. They take televising as fact. Perfect example is star wars. They have a religion on it. Lmao. No racist intentions its the truth But dis Nigga need a bullet in his eye.

  • Robert Stack rules!!!!!!!!!!!

  • All this racism is stupid. Every race has their bad seeds dnt judge us all becuz i hate seeing innocent people hurt n killed especially elders and children. I stay in one of murder capitols and we are prisoners in our own city!

  • @ blackbeard Really u racIIIst ass! True the man deserves worse than imprisonment for killn the lady but ur racism is very much uncalled for smdh!!!

  • Fucking nigger, Lock him up and throw away the key.

  • case closed!

  • black people run fast as hell that might be how he got there so quick ( just saying not trying to be racist or mean)

  • just to continue, some stuff I forgot, the killer was high on drugs and he killed Dorothy Donovan because he was afraid he was going to call the cops. This is all mentioned on a Forensic Files episode which deals with this case but I can't find it anywhere on video

  • I actually looked it up. The hitch hiker believe it or not went into the first house he saw which he thought was empty and it wound up being Charles Holden's mother's house. Crazy. He admitted this to avoid the death penalty

  • scary case, what I never got was how the killer found his mom's house?!

  • Comment removed

  • How does he sleep at night for visiting that horror upon his mother?

  • @Kenmorfdublin

    agreed. stabbed in the face. holy crap man.

  • So....Unsolved Mystery? I kept waiting for an alien to pop out or something, but even without that, the mystery is quite solved, lol.

  • thats too bad cuz there are good people that need rides sometimes and these monsters that roam the roads and highways hurt others and therefore hinders the trust of other human beings.

  • I got tears in my eyes after watching this... Poor lady, her son and daughters. <3 Norway...

  • @MariA9ne

    At least they got the bastard.

  • Anyway, one of the reasons why I like Unsolved Mysteries is for the awareness that it brings. A lot of these whackos were caught and got the punishment they deserved. Classic series and I hope to get the entire set on dvd.

  • @Seigu007 typical ignorance

  • @racytracy420 The ignorance is yours, these people have genetic commitment to crime. Do you live under a rock?

  • @Seigu007 Do you think Adolf Hitler has genetic commitment to kill millions of people or was he exception because he was “White”?

  • @Seigu007 You're a fool. It's baffling that any white person - or any person for that matter - can point their finger at African-Americans and declare how violent they are, when in fact throughout the ages whites have left a bloody trail of violence for their legacy. No one from any ethnic group with any ounce of rationale can frown upon another ethnic group because of crimes commited by their members without revealing their own hypocrisy. Get a clue and then come back and have a conversation.

  • @Seigu007 Use common sense so you can get your shit together.

  • The update makes everything not scary anymore. On a unrelated note, I once picked up a hitch hiker much the same as this story. Luckily, he didn't try to kill me.

  • Dude, you should've stayed in your truck. Always use the drive-thru. Never get outta your truck that late at night. How did that worthless asshole find his house?? Was it just a strange coincidence???

  • This is one of the creepiest, most bizarre cases. Never pick up a hitchhiker! So glad they found this douche bag. It doesn't matter if you're black or white. I'm white and I was raised not to know the difference. I fought against racism all my life. How people act has nothing to do with their color, it is more culture. There are creepy white people too, believe me. Black or white is not the issue here.

  • Okay Wtf! Being Racist Is Not Cute , OR Funny Yall Really Need To Quit.

    Yeah And Were NOT Animals. Yall Are some Fucking Animals. Okay. SO Keep Talking Crap.!

    Watch you get hurt.

  • @iloveyousomuchwtv let me just take a "wild" guess.....You are a "branch" manager??

  • I live in south central los angeles and i carry a colt .45 with me all the time..why? U have to, to protect yourself from these animals, i almost killed a nigger,,dont worry aiming is getting better! :)

  • @MrManny7426 Ya think you got problems? I emigrated from The Russian Federation to Africa.

  • This is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • awesome

    

  • I'm deathly afraid of bl*ck folk,they are crazy & out of their minds or drunk all the time,THANK YOU MR. ABE LINCOLN YOU BASTARD!!!!

  • Gilbert Cannon, 42, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Dorothy Donovan, 70, at her home in Harrington in 1991. A judge sentenced Cannon, of Delmar, Md., to life in prison without the possibility of release. He had been linked by a DNA sample to a bloody palm print found after the slaying.

  • Comment removed

  • AND WHY not go check out his mother's house FIRST, WTF??

  • WHY go drive to call the police after he might kil your own mother, drive tha piece of shit to yo momma's house and fucking protect her bitch

  • I wonder how the guy knew where he lived..yeah he told the guy he lived down the road,but he couldnt have described the house but why desribe your house to a stranger lol...the guy could have just taken a random guess.

  • @aquafan518 or maybe the guy KNEW him

  • @aquafan518 The TV show Forensic Files profiled the murder case in an episode titled "Stranger In The Night." In that episode, it was mentioned that Gilbert Cannon explained how he coincidentally arrived at Dorothy's house: After Charles got rid of him, Gilbert was looking for a house to enter and stay at. But every house he came upon had lights on. That is, until he saw Dorothy's house, where there were no lights on. He broke into the house, not realizing that Dorothy was there.

  • God bless this poor man and his mother. This world is fucked!

  • this guy is kind of dumb the he saw the guy going towards his moms house why give him a chance to do it all he had was a screw driver im sure there was a big stick laying around but instead he waited for the cops to come

  • Thank God for forensics. No Really, thank God, God thought of forensics before we ever existed. He is amazing.

  • @TheEvaDionne Amen :)

  • what a said fing' story. what a brutual, vicious way to go.

  • Like that update!

  • Why did he call the cops TO the phonebooth?

  • It's amazing what they've done with dna these days.

  • He should have MANNED UP when he saw the guy walking towards his mother's house. He could have run him over with his pick-up truck. For God's sake, if your mother's life is on the line, you man the F+CK UP.

  • @deadbeat83 Thumbs up!

  • This story makes no sense. I mean 1st of all how did the guy know where the guy lived?

  • @PresidentP the guy told him he just lives down the road and couldnt take him further

  • Another good reason never to pick up hitchhikers, no matter how nice they may seem to be. :\ There's wackasses all over and looks can be deceiving....

  • Id like to know what the guy did or was running from to try to get a ride so bad? I dont really believe his story about his sister having a baby.

  • Good on the cops for taking science over "common sense" and lazy police work! If only we had police like this in Texas!

  • Hey I was born in 1991 and I live in DE! Oohhh coincidence..dun dun dun...haha just being silly...I love this show :]

  • was obama ever interviewed about this case??

  • I'm sure this has been asked, but how did he know where his mom lived?? Confusing.....

  • Fry his popped ass!

  • its ur mom u should of stayed

  • why do ALL of her kids have different last names?

  • @pivot1022 because her daughters took the last names of the men they married. Their father was their mother's first husband, and when he died Dorothy remarried and took her second husband's last name. Charles' last name has always been Holden.

  • it sucks when people are punished for doing good things, you know?

  • ... and dude, the racist comments are unnecessary. In most of these UM videos, the murder is a white male.

  • And this is why, man or woman, you should never pick up a hitchhiker.

  • it looked like white boy could have beat black boys ass

  • if i saw my moms house door broken open i would fucking charge in there right away

  • There was no black man. This is just like the Susan Smith case in S.C. He killed his mother. 

  • @DCFunBud you obviously haven't delved deep enough into this case

  • @Daffneyfan Obviously.

  • I really miss Robert Stack thumbs up if u agree!!!!

  • @KatyPerrySuperFan1  i agree!!!!

  • This story doesn't make sense. Instead of just saying gimmie the keys he allows the man a chance to drive him again? Then just so happens he lives in a trailer while his mom lives in a 2 story house? He just so happens by pure coincidence to know where his mom lives? The cops are smart enough to know that coincidences like that just dont happen. Something is fishy about that case.

  • @IzzyBoy2012 I'm sure the police looked over every possibility in this case

  • i hope this piece of shit gets the chair or life sentence with no parole.. and what a shitty thing to do to accuse the son of killing his mom,.. stupid cops.

  • that us nasty , he gave the man a lift as far as possible then the man tryed to kill him so he drove off they man was at his house, he called the police then he found out the man killed his mum :''(

    i would get a gun hunt the fucker down no affence

  • @samhhh1000 woah man, you just said everything that happened in the video, you're a fucking retard.

  • i would not go back home after that i would speed to the cop station

  • shoudnt pick up niggers, i mean a black guy in the middle of the night

  • @copburner Keep your racist slurs to yourself, you brainless stooge.

  • @KellyGreen5555 ok will do, but i am right aint i?

  • @copburner I just called you a brainless stooge, you racist idiot...which means that you are not right.

  • @KellyGreen5555 shoud he have pick him up or shoudnt he have?

  • @copburner You have zero comprehension skills. Don't bother to reply.

  • @KellyGreen5555  ok babe if you say soo

  • He should've just said "NO back up off my window fool" an put his car in gear an pulled off.

  • How did the murderer know where the man lived? Was it just a coincidence? And how did he get back to the house so quickly?

  • I releaved the worthless piece of fuck that killed this woman was brought to justice.

  • I feel so so badly for the poor man who's mother was killed. I'm sure this tragety eats away at him every day of his life.

  • Imagine if there hadn't been DNA or a bloody palm print. Charles Holden would be on death row right now.

  • I love how all of Dorothy's children have different accents.

  • Update!  Hells yeah!

  • I am very sorry for this man's loss, but I can't understand why on Earth he didn't just give the dude the keys to his truck and let him drive off. I can't imagine the thought "must save the truck" even entering the back of my mind when someone's shoving a knife in my face. And the coincedence of him finding the mother's house? This sounds like a drug deal gone bad or something.

  • One of the greatest mystery shows of all time. Doesn't get any better. The Theme song and narrator Robert Stack use to scare me when I was little lol.

  • @lebronjamesgd23 hahaha me too

  • ....reminds me of the film, 'The Hitchiker' with Rutger Hauer............

  • lol the guy says "the guy was right there at my passenger window" except in the recreation the actor is on the drivers side.

  • WTF is wrong with these people? Animals.

  • charles shoulda run the dude down when he had the chance.

  • Thats where guns come in handy. The fucker had a screw driver, if i pulled out my AR on him he would have left me alone.

  • does anyone know where i can watch this episode on forensic files on the internet?

  • @chchchico It definetly Is more creepy on Forensic Files..they do a good job.

  • Some really creepy ones are, "Friends to The End", "Scarred to Death", "The Circleville Letters", "The Two Mary Murders", "Burned Evidence", "Campus Murder Exposed." This particular story is a lot more creepy on Forensic Files.

  • i would have run him over with my truck or atleast hit him with it

    are you serious leave your mother like that ??

    poor woman

  • this is the scariest episode i have ever seen i do believe

  • @MultiOutlawed this wasnt that scary

  • @MultiOutlawed nah my scary ep was when the demon possed the guy and killed the family

  • You never give hitchhikers a ride, ever.

    This is the reason why.

  • The son seemed more afraid for himself,he should have made checking on his mother a priority.

  • people and racist comments these days so much ignorance...smh

  • people and ricist comments these days....smh

  • UPDATE: We got the bastard!

  • Thank goodness for modern DNA technology!

  • You people are pathetic. Typing the N-word over and over like it is a joke. Yes the killer did an evil thing, but being racial like that is not right. Every man is a human and white, yellow, black, blue etc etc is capable of commiting murder! Adolf Hitler was a mass murdurer of 60 million people, but he was white. So fuck off with that racial shit, btw Im white.

  • @rapinNtapin some people just report the facts. The African-American population in the US is around 12% and Hispanic around 15%, but in prison they make up about 50%. And in homicides between 1974-2004 there were more black offenders than whites, which is crazy considering there are 5x-6x more whites. Now am I a racist because I reported the facts?

  • @tuffgongc9 sure your facts are right, but does that give us the right to be racial? Lashing out names and distancing race between race only causes race wars. So I choose to be a better person by not condeming them as people nor calling them the N Word. Every race has its evil.

  • we might be niggers but were niggers that are running the damn country now aren't we hURRAY OBAMA U HATE THAT DONT OBAMA OBAMA BLACK MAN BLACK MAN BLACK MAN OBAMA HAHAHA WE WN U LOSE LOL

  • @mohanno23 Obama is also half a cracker, blooter!

  • @mohanno23 Obama's not running anything; Wall Street is. That's the scam you can't see.

  • Amazing what DNA evidence can do to cold cases like that. I remember watching that back then and wondered if they would ever catch that person.

  • @cwood4ever SHUT UP. The woman who helped him was black! Anyone of any race can be good or evil!

  • thank u cracker

  • thank u lol

  • This is wierd

  • this is by far the creepiest unsolved mysteries they had...i still remember this from when I was a kid...

  • @bigtias You are not alone on this one... :)

  • HOW SCARY.....

  • if my mom was there alone and i saw a suspect ,i would try to run him over with my car

  • @redskins2k your 100% right, this guy was yellow. I wouldnt let my mom try to fight off some guy with a gun!!

  • @MrBillyBatts1 yellow as shit. How does this coward sleep at night knowing he ran away while his older mom was alone? The guy is a bitch

  • @redskins2k yep well said and he has to live with that for the rest of his life

  • @MrBillyBatts1 he is a loser,can protect your own mom?

  • @redskins2k

    True but the only problem with that is, if you kill the hitchhicker, and try to tell the story to the cops(that you were attacked) then they would never believe you. You would save your mothers life, however you could do time in jail, I say it is worth it though.

  • @redskins2k easy to say behind the comfort of your keyboard, you'd be scared shitless. Don't get me wrong, anyone who kills a 70 year old woman deserves to have their head smashed with a large rock untill their brainmatter is a pancake, but your just an internet tough guy.

  • @redskins2k Shit, I dare anyone to mess with my mom. She'd whoop their ass and then give them a lecture as to WHY she kicked their ass, lol.

  • some stranger came up to my car once whilst i stopped at a redlight and asked for a lift to the closest train station which was only 5 min drive away. i agreed and it was all ok. the man seemed a bit crazy with all his god talk and telling me to visit some church as he got out of the car at the station. Thank god he was a good man and not a psychopath... but stilll i regret doing that, and will never do it again no matter how nice the person seems.

  • I also wonder why he didn't run his butt over when he saw him walking and if I saw him walking towards my mom's place, I would like to think that I would have grabbed a tire iron and went after him.

  • @rarrokla He did the right thing by calling the police first. Even thought it might've saved his mother's life, you can't just run someone over and kill them and therefore getting arrested for murder.

  • @Daffneyfan

    Yeah you would, but I carry knives and guns with me because it's common where I live. Still if he would have been headed back towards my house and my mom was there, I would have had to grow a back bone on that one. Of course this is all before the days of cell phones when you could have done both

  • @rarrokla Crimes like this were still incomprehensible back then, and people didn't really have to worry about locking their doors or carrying weapons, but nowadays we do.

  • @Daffneyfan, crimes like these were still incomprehensible back then? This happened in 1991. Crime rates were high in urban areas. Even though this happened in a rural area, there were cases of serial killers that had been documented already. Many serial killers commit their crimes in rural or suburban areas, which means giving a stranger a ride late at night in the middle of nowhere is like playing russian roulette.

  • Um........did anyone see if Mr. Holden's vehicle registration was missing from the vehicle's glove compartment? Um....the killer could have gotten Mr. Holden's address from that.

  • @SteveLLW

    Good point. I never thought of that. This is one of the creepiest episodes I have seen. Bizarre, how he could pick the house just from out of nowhere.

  • @rarrokla I bet he got the screwdriver weapon from the same glove compartment, as well. He grabbed the screwdriver (and the papers) from the glove compartment, after the victim fled the car and kept the papers in order to find the victim, if he got away.

    Moral of the stoy: Don't pick up strangers AND you may want to keep the registration papers with you, so an intruder can't find your name and address, if they break into your car!

  • @SteveLLW

    Agreed, this was still the creepiest one I have seen.

  • He sounds like Elvis.

  • He changed his actions because his daughter came up to the truck

  • @brandons72vette Eh, if his daughter came up to the truck (signifying that he actually DID live there), I think it's safe to say he wasn't going to do ANYTHING. :) Plus 1 Karma for you. hahaha

  • Paying any attention to stop signs or lights because while in the truck he was friendly, his attitude and tones changed. As he instructed for me to pull over at a house, be got out and started to do something but quickly aborted his actions and plans. He then said thanks for the ride bud, and gave me a look as if he was still going to get me,so I got home and I felt good I took him home but scared in every way possible.

  • Last month around 1 am as I was on my way home.. A man on bike was on the side of the road, and made me stop. He wanted me to take him home which he claimed was a few miles from my house. He did not belong in my area as he was dressed differently. To this day idk why I drove him, and watching this only makes me regret it. But the guy instructed me to take him in an area that nobody should be in and it was a dark Erie night and I was really shakin. He got out, and I hauled ass out of there not p
