Crime Beat: The Babes in the Woods | S4 E4 

It is very simply produced...looks like something muncollege class produced

Only one better is forensic files

Agree

Better than your spellings.. 😂

Agree. Crime Beat is my favourite true crime productions and I watch all of them.

The gov prob cannot allocate funding for ongoing bills to a tombstone no one will visit. And every body you see lying in cemetery will be exhumed after some years anyway

I'm looking for this comment, as soon I heard he throws them in the ocean 🌊 I was like WHAT😮 So heartless. Why can't they bury😢

I do. They were a museum display. They were sensational. Buried they can be exhumed. Buried at sea they can truly rest in peace with no one able to bother them or put them on display again.

@@wynterblackwell3640 Sure, but given how much their sister wanted to know what happened to them while she was alive, it would have been nice to be able to inter them all together. The cop unilaterally decided what was appropriate for them, instead of waiting until they were identified to allow the family to do so. The museum exhibit is a whole separate (abhorrent) issue. There are plenty of human remains with dubious provenance that are being used inappropriately.

@@mycomagus to be honest the only person whose opinion really matters is the sister's daughter. As the sister died long before they were identified and having the whole of their remains in a box in a storage room would not have changed that at all. I don't remember her having an issue with it but of course we wouldn't really know without asking.

I’m with you. It’s really rare to find a mom that kills her children, no matter the circumstance. And with a hatchet no less. I also believe it was the grandfather and the mom was with him to try and plead with him to let them live and then she lovingly covered them.

Big shock the bleeding hearts find a way to blame a man.

Their mother did it I mean what else do you need? HER fur coat found on the bodies HER shoe nearby WITNESSES a trucker dropped her off in Vancouver just her with the boys everything matched the description the family changed their names almost the same week the news broke about the boys being found everything points to their mother did it and her family protected her

How would they have more cousins, the boys were between 6 and 8 yrs old when they died , they obviously didn't have any children of their own

@@bettywillbrowse COULD have. If the boys aren't killed they would have been the uncles and they would have had children when they grew up....

​@@bettywillbrowseCousins are also those who have a common grandmother and grandfather. Cousins are more than just the children of these boys if they had lived to be adults and had children You should find out about things before making a fool of yourself in front of everyone by writing something stupid. 🙈😏

because buried at sea no one can bother or put them on display again.

I'm not really defending her because no excuse, but she was probably desperate, couldn't afford them and she probably thought they'd be better off dead than in the (even now horrible and abusive) system. Again, not excusing or defending her, just kind of seeing what might have been behind it.

Maybe she was coercively controlled- to an extreme degree -bullied and threatened by the male ? Her father. I think she knew. If the family don’t think it was her… maybe she had to choose between her daughters well being and continued support or them all being cast out onto the street. I know we all think we would choose poverty and to keep all our children but we don’t know what went on within this family and the only one that did wouldn’t talk on film, but that lady did say that the boys mother didn’t do it.

Or hurts a child in any way

The murderer was long dead by the time it was solved so the death penalty would hardly have been needed.

Then you end up dead also you are not any better.

There is zero proof their Mum killed them, I do not believe she murdered her own kids with an axe after being a devoted mother. The answers are already there, the family said that the government, social workers which in those days was related to the Ministry , took them away. They always believed they were rehomed and they would reunite one day. I believe two fake imposter social workers, pretending to work for the government, literally kidnapped the children under the guise of removing them from the home, without anyone suspecting them at all, and they were raped in the woods almost immediately and killed with an axe by most likely a savage predator paedophile. Serial killers kill children with axes. Not loving mothers.all reports of their family was that she adored her children and the family were close. It's very common that women get used as a cover to pick up kids for predators. She probably still had a bit of a conscience but under the killers control. There are so many ways this could have happened but without proof it's impossible to know. But a stable non crazy loving mother doesn't suddenly breakout into an axe murderer, that's a pure act of extreme rage and hatred.

Because the story was they were taken by the ministry. No one would question it especially at that time. People nowadays are a little less ready to believe everything they are told

apparently she is a pro? I had to turn it off :(

It's an old English folk tale, that is very similar to the case.

reference below, plus children ARE refered to as babes. (just think for example "out of the mouth of babes" and they were not babies.

Children have been referred to as “babes” for centuries , I hope you arent thinking of the modern “babes “ a disgusting sexist slur used for women? “Babes in the Woods” is a suitable ,endearing and not the least bit unusual .

She was 10. I don't think she ever though her mother killed her brothers. Given them away maybe. But who would think their own loving mother killed their brother?

She didn't think they were missing because she believed two social workers from the Ministry removed them from her care, they truly believed they would reunite with them one-day. Why report them missing ? I don't believe it was her at all, I believe two imposters conned them and actually killed them , only a predator kills children with an axe in the woods, by all accounts she was a loving devoted mother. I think they were probably dead within and hour of being taken away, the man raped them and killed them in a very typical paedophile serial killer style, he axed them to death .his accomplice who controlled, was used to lure kids away. They have zero proof that the Mum did it , the cops made up a story and stuck on that storage story for so many years they way they thought it was a girl and that the kids were so old, you can see the brothers were very young because of the shape of the skulls. Post war, and them being poor, they truly believed the children were being removed to be adopted into the home of a family who could feed them well etc.

I wouldn't. He took them out of literal displays and made sure no one can do that to them again. He kept the heads precisely for further forensics.

they had 2 different fathers.

EXACTLY, it never occurred to Sgt Honeybourne that those unclaimed and unnamed remains belonged to every citizen of this country, he took it upon himself to impose his will as well as his religious bigotry in the situation.

@@foxfriendzanimaltown9859 religious bigotry? He took those remains out of a literal display (think for a second your child being displayed like that, how would you feel?) and made sure no one can put them on display again. And he also made sure to keep enough under secrecy (again so they can't go back on display) for the case to be solved.

@@wynterblackwell3640 Not objecting to them being taken out of display, it's what happened after that, he's a guy totally stuck on himself, arrogant and self centered, there was once a person who gave readings, a sort of remote viewer, this person was getting very close on the names of the two boys, not exactly correct but there was a pattern emerging and they kept leaving notes for this GUY, think he had the GOOD MANNERS to return any of their calls, GUESS??!!

@@foxfriendzanimaltown9859 gave readings? Like sone sort of psychic? Yeah police rarely work with those. Like I said giving them a sea birial (and NOT dumping them in the water) ensured they can't ve displayed again for gawkers instead they can be at peace

trust me, unfortunately men have gotten away with it before ESPECIALLY in the 40s. Nowadays both women and men would find it much harder, though it's not unheard of. They were all taken out of school in the name of transferring them to a different school. The old school had no reason to follow up, the new never existed. They fell through the cracks. I wish I could say it's different now and it wouldn't happen but all it takes is a yt search to see just how many children aren't reported as missing by anyone until months, years after those who were supposed to look after them, protect and love them k'lled them.

Not sure how much honour there is in being displayed in a museum. The local community here in Vancouver is quite connected to the ocean; I don't think an ocean burial is a bad thing.

He should never have taken that personal decision while it was still a unsolved case. Perhaps the niece may have wanted to reunite them buried along side her mother.

@@incredulousone6855 cant believe he can just toss them in the ocean ..how is that allowed !! unbelievable

i think thet rest in peace cause in the water thet were set free i guess we have different opinions about their best be buried 😢

Unless they have reincarnated, we all get suffering down here.
