Cold Case Murder Abandoned Mansion 

Oh my gosh that poor child, 😢 so glad the parents were finally caught and the father was sent to jail. And for the other boy to not be believed must have been very traumatic. Thank you for telling his story so it will never be forgotten.

I love how you told the story of the house before you showed it. It allows you to connect with the ones who lived there. Such a sad story. RIP little Angel 👼

Imagine how Jason, the biological son, would have felt. Knowing what his father did. And then speaking out only to not be believed. My goodness. The weight of that truma. And you said the community loved the father, that's why they didn't believe Jason. You know, my father was a raging Narcissist. At his funeral there were 300 plus people. Home devils and street angels I call them. To punch a child that hard takes a lot of anger. It was very brave of Jason to speak out after watching what his father was capable of. I hope he got help for what he endured back then & was able to lead a semi normal life. I won't lie, truma changes everything. You're never quite the same after it. God bless 🙌

So sad. The murder of a child, the abandonment of such a beautiful house, all of it.

Such a beautiful house and what a sad history.

Hey y’all! I'm honored to show you this video and tell a story that needs to be told. Where is everyone viewing from?

The history of this house is extremely depressing. And you made me a nervous wreck when you stepped out onto that balcony. I can only imagine the beauty that house was in its heyday. Thank you for sharing.

Hey guys, thanks so much for watching this video. First off, my apologies for the shaky footage. This town is one of the most dangerous places in Alabama and I was on edge to be there by myself. I was also so sad over the story of what had happened. I don't think it really hit me until I was there, surrounded by the walls of the place that poor boy had been murdered.

I love how you don't talk much, and you're alone so there's really not much other noise. but sometimes I have to turn my volume really high to hear your voice, but when it switches to some backstory, it's so loud my whole room vibrates.

Aside from feeling horrible for the little boy that got murdered, how horrible for the little boy that had to live with his murderous father and nobody would believe him. I can't even imagine his poor life... very sad story💔

“…favorite Disney blanket.” made me cry and I had to stop. 😢 Beautiful footage, though.

Thank you for sharing these magnificent homes. I love these old homes. I've always wondered who lived there, what did they do, etc. Some stories we'll never know and will die away with the home, but others are very well known

This is an incredible video. So sad, and that mansion is magnificent! I wish someone would take up the renovation. Although they'd have to be cool with the history.

I'm pretty excited as well😊 I love venturing into these magnificent mansions always wondering what happened and why did the owners leave everything behind! Thank you for always taking us along 😊 and finding these beautiful gems for us to see. Happy Autumn everyone 🍂🍃🍁. Watching from Southern California ☀️

As a father I can’t believe there’s people out there that abuse Their children.. It’s sickening..Everyone involved in this and knew should face the death penalty..I can’t even raise my voice at my daughter I could never even think about laying a finger on my child... This is so sickening!!!You shouldn’t have even gone in there dude... 🤨

Hey Abandoned Nashville-- thank you SO much for posting this. I have wondered for the last 15 years what happened to this house. I have tried to find it on Google Earth several times and I guess I thought I remembered the address but it no longer comes up under the street and number ("12 South street* - not accurate to protect it but you'll know what I mean). I was extremely close to purchasing this amazing house back around 2006/7. I went out and looked at it with the well known agent in that area. It was nowhere near as bad as your video shows it now; the beautiful front porch was still standing very solid. What I appreciated most about the house was that unreal front collonade with that gorgeous sunburst fan light window over the top with the Greek revival look. I loved the staircase inside and like you said, it didn't make a sound when walking up it. I know the smell you mentioned, too; an undescribable scent of yesterday combined with something inspiring and joyful in the wood itself. I was literally going to pull the trigger on the purchase until I heard the foster child story that you spoke of. I just couldn't handle the thought of waking up there every day knowing that had happened, and that is what I told the agent. Reluctantly I passed on purchasing the house but have never forgotten it and wished I could have brought it back to what it deserves. I was told at that time that it had been built in 1910, which seemed way later than what the construction of it suggested to me. It felt more like 1850s to me. I have been working on a 3 story colonial with Greek columns for several years now, so I ended up finding a cool house to restore after all. If someone could still save that old house in Uniontown it would be so great. I was just telling my wife the other day how important keeping the roof solid and avoiding leaks really is. A leaky roof is death for historic homes. Again, thank you so much for this video. You can't imagine how many times I pondered the fate of that house. .

I like that you tell the back story to whatever you’re exploring. Everything has a story.

Those pipes in the attic actually look like they were part of the old gravity water system which predated our current running water system. There would have been a huge water reservoir in the attic that collected rain water, and those pipes would carry the water to the bathrooms and kitchen below. That's also likely why the water heater is up there to take advantage of the existing plumbing system that was originally built to work with the reservoir.

I live in Tuscaloosa County, hard to believe that this happened not very far from my home. I can remember hearing about this family and the things they did, so very sad!

What a story. May God bless and protect every child in the world.

New Jersey here. Loving your channel

New subscriber here from West Tennessee after finding that a friend shared this on Facebook! So glad clocked on it!! Can't wait to binge watch more 🙏

How could one go on living there knowing your dead son is under the porch… wtf

Gorgeous home! I hope someone renovates it!

This is the 3rd video I've seen by you & I had to subscribe to your channel. I watch a lot of these types of exploring videos & your the 1st one I've ever subbed to bcuz of the way you do your explores is very respectful, and as truthful as can be. The way you present each one of your explores is done in a very professional way imo. Keep up the good work!

Not to be graphic but imagine going to bed that night. The wife, the murderer dad, and the other son. Imagine their emotions and thoughts. I can’t even imagine.

That dining room the shelf around the room is for plate’s and saucers also the room off the kitchen is a butler’s pantry. The other room off kitchen is utility room and pantry. Those garden window bedrooms are stunning! They used Armoires for clothing,usually the cabinets in between the rooms were for linen’s. Love this house ❤ ❤❤❤

Hi I’m from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for exploration and descriptive doco,. The wardrobe between the rooms is actually a linen press, or a storage cupboard hope that helps

Wow. Creepy but amazing. Great house, but no basement? Good story telling! I am sure Alan appreciates it! 😉

Still one gorgeous house & sad the renovation's were halted.. Also sad to see the column's collapsing.. Horrid on the history, of what happened..

New sub and Tennessean here! Love your videos so much! Thank you for all the research and work you put into these! 💖🥰👍

What a depressing, sad story but a house that must have been magnificent in it's day. I had never heard of your channel until RU-vid recommended it to me - so, here I am, a new subscriber! Gill 🇬🇧

Wow, Wow, this has got to be the most gorgeous mansion's ever. Just sad on history, murder & fire plus read about 'most dangerous places', still hope to hear house is restored.... Oh, is it me, or, low volume..

So very sad about the little boy. Beautiful house

I could never live in a home, no matter how beautiful, where such pain and misery and evil had happened. May God rest young Alan. 🙏🙏🙏

Cali. Very sad story behind this beautiful home. Broke my heart :(

I bet when this house was new it was stunning. I envision the house furnished in an Old English style. That would b beautiful. When u walk in the front door it looks like u'd b on a Plantain down South . Gorgeous

Beautiful home!! That’s such a sad story for a boy being buried under the porch.

And to think no one followed up with the bio parents in Florida after the kid disappeared?? smh

A great video. Tragic that it's in the stte it's in. Would love to see it restored but that would be a challenge.

What a very sad story poor Alan never had a chance

That looks straight out of a movie 😩😩

I've been watching your videos the last few days... I really like how you tell the stories to em all... This one was especially sad though... I'm looking forward to watching more...

Tragic events unfolded there. Quite sad. I can only imagine when that siren went off, your heart must've skipped a beat! Thanks for the beautiful, touching explore. Long rest in peace, Allen. ❤

that poor poor baby, no child deserves that or any ill intentions, breaks my heart as a person and momma

What a SAD story ..tht took place in what was a beautiful home. It's ashame..this home coulda been amazing!

Such a tragedy. Gosh you just never know what goes on in a family. Poor thing. The son tried to tell....& to not be believed would be horrible! Then having to go on living there. How traumatizing. It's a beautiful home. Thank u for being brave enough to show us the inside. Wish someone could restore her to her former grandeur & let the past be in the past.

So creepy and interesting at the same time. Thank you for video

It's a magnificent house ! Such a darn shame to leave it !!!!!

What's really bazaar is I would think the mom knew!! Because you can not hide the smell of a decaying body!!! Ugh!!!!! And how ironic a funeral at that time as your explaining the murder of a child!! 😭

THANK YOU for a back story &for sharing this great explore with us♡ Definitely subscribing.Such a beautiful home,such a horrible story😔 Jason was brave to tell little Allen's story,may Allen RIP♡ thank you for telling his story

That was a creepy backstory. How sad. Great video.

i’m really surprised at the condition inside. it’s very surprising that after all these years there is no trash or graffiti. i hope it stays that way

Not a wardrobe more likely a linen cabinet in the hall for the bedrooms. Nice tour. Appreciate your attention to all the many details in each room. The death was sad and glad you didn't sensationalize it too terribly much.

That 'wardrobe' in the upstairs hallway, is a linen. It's where towels, washcloths, hand towels, sheets, etc. were kept

Thanks for explaining like a renovator. It doesn't sound that spooky. I wish they can buy over and renovate fully this mansion. Respect as an Interior Designer here.

I bought a house once! There were brown stains on one side of the nice carpet and brown spots on the wall that always bled through!! When I finished the house and it was up for sale, I found out a chomo blew his head off in the front room when the cops were coming!!! The chomo was the homeowner!!!

The sirens sounded like a child at the beginning it spooked me.

Yes the house sat and sat and sat for years before I bought it!! Probate costs a bunde to clean up on a title!!!

Western Australia here!

Even if you say you was shaky, your video was most excellent and I love to hear your descriptors and soft voice young man.

This house (wouldn't call it a "mansion" by any stretch of the imagination) held up pretty well for several vacant years. But once those columns in front started collapsing, it really went down in a hurry.

Abandoned houses should be taken over by the government, renovated and auctioned much cheaper to boost the economy, generating jobs and developing housing policy... Greetings from Brazil...

Hi… Im Fatin from Johor, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Im really enjoying all of your video 🫡 Keep it up 🔥👍🏻

I cant imagine what the son who went to the police went through. His step dad knowing he tried to dob him in and was unsuccessful. Surely he didnt make his life easy for him

I’m an empath. When you walked into the blue room with a fire place I felt a thick pain on the left side of my throat in one single place and pain in my right foot bottom no idea why 😯

That story would make a great movie.

What is in the dark will come to light

Those double doors are sometimes referred to as "French Doors". Those older homes that have built in cabinets on the second floor were for linens.. Sheets and towels and needs for servicing the second floor both to save space in the rooms and keep from having to make continuous trips up and down the stairs. Many of these homes had service people or maid at some point and the homes were built for a service person to maintain the home for the owners and many have a butler pantry where they prepared and served food and the kitchen sometimes was separate. Laundry then was usually done by hand and line dry and most services were labour intensive and time consuming so built ins help as well as French Doors allowed light as well as opportunities to open to large areas for entertainment as well as air flow in hot seasons. As well as close off rooms to heat smaller spaces in the winter also allowing light. A lot of functional and beautiful aspects working together in these older architectures. Bless that child and may he rest in peace 🙏🏼

Jeremy, I'm new to you and love you.i needed what i didn't know i did. This episode! The longest intro and info! Whoa! Love!

I used to take a look of this house using Google Street View. Indeed this house looks haunting now, but looking at the view dated May 2014, front yard of the house was still well-kept, the walking path still visible & those pillars were still standing.

Such an amazing home to bad it crumbling more and more if it was fixed up like new I bet it would be gorgeous

Very sad story but you did a great job videoing it and explaining the story!

“What’re those sirens, are those for me👀”

When you first walk into a mansion, you're in the foyer. To your right/left are always the dining and living room. The back of the house is for family, and servants. Between the dining room and kitchen is the butlers pantry.

😔So sad story. Great house before the murder. Thanks and regards from Santiago, Chile🇨🇱, Southamerica.

So why did the people who were restoring it just stop and leave?

Notice where the boy was buried. Flowers were growing. I mean it's a weed, but still. The little yellow flowers were there.

EN: Hi, it's an amazing place. I also dedicate myself to urbex and I also do paranormal investigations. A greeting from Spain!!

My goodness that is sad to see what once use to be a house is now falling down. I love watching these types of vids to see and learn the history of places that use to be lived in or used but it’s sad that a father killed his son and his other son tried to tell people but he wasn’t believed! Smh so heartbreaking

I have seen this house explored by other urban explorers. I heard them describe that a murder had happened there. I did some Google searching for that area/town, and found out it was true! A shame such a thing happened and now the house now just sits. Oddly, that house was built in the early 1900's from city records. I thought it was way older and might be since the records my only go back so far. ALSO! A funeral happening while you are exploring as there is a funeral home on the same street as the house. :)

Did you feel any sadness or anything? The smell you were smelling makes me wonder about spirits hanging around. Also you make me nervous walking upstairs of these abandoned places. I'm so worried the floors will cave in!

That was a beautiful place at one time!

I think I have seen a documentary about this on travel channel I believe last year. The father was a drunk and abusive.

That’s a linen closet, houses used to have them.

Sad but justice comes to victims.

NO CHILD IS EVER BORN FOR THE CHILD'S SAKE.

Beautiful house

Brooklyn New York....great video@!🏚🏚🏚

What a beautiful home. I wish I could afford to rebuild it. Restore to it’s Original

It's where they stored linens, towels blankets etc.

The 'wardrobe' in hallway between rooms is actually for linens, blankets, towels, etc

It’s crazy that people think it’s normal to just put their child’s dead body into the crawlspace. What on earth. Horrible.

I just saw this crazy, I lived close to there a in Andalusia for awhile in 2019 and never knew that it was there. I had the same wonderful type of father grew up in a tiny town in Nd South of Fargo Nd by SD border

This place would have been beautiful and wish it could have been finished. Now it will just keep decaying and disappear. Love it but it would be haunted. I saw a shadow go by the door when you were downstairs and it was moving. Thank you

Excellent explore....

creepy house. It seems to me that the boy’s soul is still walking around this house.

Such a sad story. I can't quite grasp why the new owners just quit the renovation. Rather odd.

I live a road over from that house, such a sad story

I saved this one and thank you - also I love all staircases and this one in my top 3 - sad story though don’t know if I could live there
