Harvey Richardson: The Murder of Lorraine Jacob, 1970 

A number of people have asked if they can help support my channel - I don't have any adverts on my channel (and don't intend to) but if anyone wishes to help defray the expenses of making these videos in some small way, they can buy me a cup of coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/MarkJohnMaguire paypal.me/MarkJohnMaguire?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB

Before even listening I'm giving Mark John McGuire 5 STARS for his new addition that has been on for only 19 minutes because he is always amazing and can be counted on! Thanks Mark!

You're the classiest True Crime presenter on RU-vid. These people deciding to remove your videos are ridiculous. PLEASE consider uploading your videos as podcasts. You have a wonderful voice and you won't have these stupid RU-vid issues. You will also reach a wider audience. ❤

I am so sick and tired of RU-vid forcing their morality on me, I think I’m old enough (62) to decide for myself what content I view. I do however agree printed form is my preferred source of information. I empathize with you, your subject matter and logical narration is outstanding .

I love your voice, it perfectly matches your descriptions in the stories you share. No slang, no expletives, just allowing the the English language to beautifully flow as you share true accounts. You sir are a treasure, thank you.

I have to say that this channel is arguably the best true crime channel on RU-vid, bar none, full stop. You, sir, are without question, the best true crime narrator/presenter on this oft-times benighted platform. Keep 'em coming, my friend, keep 'em coming!

Your delivery and the timbre of your voice are a delight. I think you could talk on virtually any subject and it would be interesting. Thank you, Mark. 😀

I am a simple woman. I see a new “They Got Away with Murder,” I click.

Putting your works into book form is a wonderful idea, but your narration is unbeatable

Thank you for another brilliant video, it's always a strange feeling when you realise that you have been to and know well the places that a murder has taken place and you never knew!.

You Tube are slowly driving original creators from the platform. Please don't stop posting, your subbies are more devoted than you realise 🥰

Mr McGuire is such a fantastic presenter. His beautiful, affirmative, but gentle voice is a pleasure to listen to. I look forward to each new recording ❤

It’s always a good day when Mark posts a new story! ❤️😃

Any chance of audio book versions, you have a great voice for narration.

Since there is no gravestone to identify her location, it seems that any trace of Lorraine’s life has been obliterated. Such a sad case. Thank you, as always!

I'm getting really fed up with RU-vid's censorship. They can get away with it just as long as viewers put up with it for the sake of great content like this that they are censoring and restricting.

Although macabre, I find these episodes as some of the most entertaining on RU-vid. The details of these stories stick with me for days. Well done Mark J. McGuire.😊

How does RU-vid expect to find fine artists? You are a breath of fresh air on this crappy channel.

You just made my afternoon. Thank you John my notification just popped up on my iPad and went right to you. Have a great day.

I get so excited when I see a new video from you my friend! Your hard work is much appreciated! Always so well told, even though such a sad story.

Beautifully done as usual. This woman was born a few months before me and even looks somewhat like I did at that age - an odd feeling. It tugs at the heart, two children deprived of their mother; a mother's child stolen; all because of one man's drunken frustrations.

Oh I was happy to see this new entry. I've heard this story, not because it is commonly known but because I don't have a life. Mr. Maguire always has new information and tells a story so wonderfully.

Thank you Sir. For your hard work in producing these stories. Very much appreciated and enjoyed. Kind regards.

Mark, I've since listened to your fine story of this incident. As I was saying to myself, why didn't the girlfriend implicate the killer about the camera theft, you addressed this issue. If Investigators had just been given that lead. He would have paid for his crime. With the resources applied to her murder investigation, I'm sure they would have caught him. Another fantastic video, even though it was a frustrating investigation without the proper outcome. Thanks again!!

Oh my - I have a Strong and Visceral reaction every time I see a new video. Thank you So Much. Please do an anthology of these as an Audible release. The stories are amazing but your Voice narrating is what makes it for me. Pop these babies in an anthology on Audible and I’d be the First to buy

The episodes that youtube skip over and won't let you watch it. I just click on the episode over and over and then it will play. I have done this with other episodes on this channel. So do this and you won't miss any of Marks episodes that he works so hard on to entertain and inform us. Keep up the good work Mark, it's greatly appreciated

Another YT channel (bitesize audio) features original voice acting of public domain works and the creator also had his stuff yanked by YT. He fought it but came to the conclusion that his content was being evaluated by bots and computers and likely not human eyes. 😖 🤮 Your channel Mark is authentic, and even you comment section has a higher tone than any true crime message board I have seen! Most of us would gladly follow you to another platform if needed!

Well done, Mark. The fact that Lorraine had known Harvey, supports the evidence that most murder victims have known their attackers. So much for stranger danger. I appreciated the inclusion of the map of the neighborhood of the murdered woman--made it easier to follow the events of the story. Best drawing--the view of Harvey where we are looking over his shoulder while he scans the Echo for details of the police investigation. I had no trouble watching your last video. I eagerly await your next offering!

Pleasantly surprised to find a new case study today 😊. I very much enjoy your work !! Thank you Mr McGuire …

Censorship and shadow banning by RU-vid has gotten out of hand. Have you considered alternate platforms? A lot of people have started publishing their content on Rumble, and your content would be a great fit for Spotify. I can appreciate your commitment to preserving your work in written form, but you are such a great narrator it would be a shame to lose your audio content.

3rd time it’s happened just proves the quality of your work. Have seen y tube allow some of the most appalling & inaccurate nonsense go without a any consequence?? But constantly harass those few that consistently produce high quality & fascinating posts. So for it to have happened for the third time is to your credit!✊♥️

Good evening, Mr Maguire...I was scanning the choices on RU-vid tonight... nothing much caught my interest... and... then, there you are! Yes! A good story and a great presentation! Thank you. Much respect from New Hampshire USA!! 🎉

I'm 53 and unable to access a few of your videos as they are age restricted and I am unable to prove my age. I fall asleep every night to your work. Hands down the best channel on RU-vid, even with the restrictions.

You always deliver with perfect articulation. I am also glad that you have added a new story! Thank you.

Excellent narration. What a senseless and sad death of a young woman who left 2 children behind. I hope life has been kind to them. ❤❤

Mark, you are an excellent writer and narrator. Great job!!!

Thanks Mark. Another great story. The books are a great idea, but please don’t underestimate the quality and strength of your spoken delivery. An audiobook compilation would, I’m sure, be a great success. Please reserve a copy for me! Also, a screenplay, as each story would make an excellent one hour tv play, like Armchair Theatre back in the ‘70s. Again, we’ll done and thanks for your hard work! 😊

Thank you for another great episode of They Got Away with Murder. And congratulations on joining the ranks of other great youtube producers who get harrassed by youtube for no consistent or fathomable reasons.

This was a very interesting story. It was kinda scary to me knowing he got away with murder. Thank you for sharing.

Well done as always. I agree that it's strange how Richardson's name never came up during the investigation, and even stranger that Lorraine's friend never mentioned him and the camera incident. I can't help but wonder if Richardson was the man who called the police and never called back as promised. Given his erratic nature, perhaps he toyed with the idea of participating in the investigation or even confessing but decided against it.

Congratulations on your first volume. The only downside being it wouldn't include your magnificent narration. I could listen to you reading the phone book!!

I love your content, I just had surgery for cancer, and would be lost without both you and well I never, podcast would be great

Hello there, Mark. I was one of the fortunate to hear the Betty Williams story you posted. I hope (if you want to) you'll contact RU-vid to reinstate that video with their requirements met, a warning about its contents? And, I'm glad you're able to move forward with documenting your stories. I hope you also manage audio book versions of the collections so people can hear you narrate the stories. 💟

RU-vid is killing the geese that lay the golden eggs.

Thank you Mr M for a bank holiday treat. So excited to see your latest upload ! Thank you ☺️

It occurs to me that the police have only one reason to keep the investigation files 'sealed'. That would be to protect themselves, in the event that the name and related incident involving of Harvey Richardson had come up and that they had failed to investigate it thoroughly enough. Without the benefit of actually reading those files, this is just a theory, of course. Even with the best of intentions, a failure of this magnitude would surely be a major embarrassment. Let alone undermining public confidence in local law enforcement, especially for people who may have moved up within ranks or even politically. . . . When cases like these are 'Unsolved', all we really have is logical conjecture & our instincts. It takes a great deal of research & long hours to produce such thorough videos, especially when You have included accurate images of the people & places concerned. Just want You to know that this has NOT gone unnoticed. Truly appreciating Your interpretations of these events. Thank You, Mr. Maguire !!!

It is always a thrill to get a notification from you, Mark. This is a fascinating case. Your gentle voice & tone are soothing despite the content. I can’t imagine the pain & horror that Lorraine’s family must have gone through & I wonder if finally knowing what happened to her eased this in any way. I also feel for Richardson’s family, even though estranged, & what his revelations meant for them. Thank you for presenting another interesting case & for sharing it. Take care & Best wishes.💚✌️

Just stumbled across this... I'm now binge watching your videos thank you ☺️

Without a doubt Mark, the printed word lasts longer than the internet. Well done.☘️🇮🇪🧚‍♂️

My Friday just got better. Thank you

🤗 Thank you kindly Sir. I was unaware of this case and thoroughly enjoyed your telling it to us. Nicely done🤗 !

Another great video! Such a sad story though. The police/detectives worked so hard to solve this murder…even though it took a long time I’m glad to know the answers finally came. Thank you so much for all the hard work involved in getting these stories to us. ♥️

Another astonishing episode! Thank you.

As always, a well-researched and informative discussion of a horrific murder of young woman and her vicious killer. So sad that she died and he never faced justice.

Very many thanks for your empathetic telling of this sad story. The respect you show to the victim is to be admired. I wish you would make available for sale all your YT audio recordings, perhaps on CD?

Upvote first, watch later. Always nice to hear from MJM

Yet another time to quickly cancel all plans because the notification comes in - a new TGAWM just posted! Thank you, as always, Mark! Such a sad story though. Perhaps this one hits home for me more, since I grew up in both Lancashire and Cheshire during the same period as the victim. (P.S I enjoy your books but would miss your voice!)

Comment for the algorithm gods. This channel deserves to be far larger

Well, I am extremely grateful to you for beginning a series of printed books from these episodes! I just received my copy from Amazon!!!! Yes!!! It’s here already, and I am delighted! Although my glaucoma has been managed well for years with some simple eye drops used daily, I do find that I get more easily fatigued when reading on the Internet. Of course, I can enjoy your work by just listening, but I really find your drawings and historical photographs, along with some new ones you have taken “on location” while doing research, to add a great deal to both my enjoyment and understanding of the subjects.. THANK YOU for taking that step of going into print. I am hardly the only reader who will be enjoying these volumes, and as I have with your other published books, I will be buying them again for birthday and holiday gifts throughout the year! Did you know that in Norway, it has become a recognized national pastime to read crime stories during the long winter months? It may be odd, but it’s true! My husband’s family is Norwegian, and the Sons of Norway Magazine in America that comes to members, as we are, has written about this! I think it’s very very sad that RU-vid makes inexplicable decisions that harm the work done by some of its best creators! This month, several of my favorites have left the platform altogether, and have been looking into similar platforms where fewer creator headaches exist. You once mentioned that your daughter has been helping you somewhat with various technical and sponsorship things, and I’m hoping she will help you find other, likely better!, places to feature your excellent writing and drawing. There just must be some “creator owned” outlets. Here there is one called “Maximum Fun” for all kinds of podcasts. There must be others for writers and artists! I’ll continue to enjoy your work, and I will follow it wherever it finds a congenial home - especially in print! So, you are stuck with this long winded fan!!!!

Thank you John mark for another great video. You are extraordinary!

👏👏 Thank you kind sir! Another brilliant presentation! 😊❤

"It seems Harvey is being economical with the truth here." omggggg this is just part of why we love you.

A truly great channel 👏 Thankyou for all your research and dedication that it must take to produce this excellent channel

Thank you Mark! You’ve made my evening.❤

A sad sad story but told with perfection. Thank you.

Yet again a most illuminating analysis.

Thanks again for another gem 💎❤😊

I could view your last video, but I first had to clear a viewer discretion advisory to do so. I immediately thought it unfair since videos from mainstream producers such as Murder Maps, which are highly sensationalized and graphic, do not include a similar notice. Thank you for your time and energy on these videos. I look forward to each and every one!

Excellent! Thank you for posting.

Thankyou Mark for another one of your fantastic videos of crime I enjoy them so much xx

Always a joy to hear your voice. Excellent story teller.

Maybe it's the day I'm having... maybe it's because the story is relatively more modern than most stories you tell... but this one left an ache in my chest. Well narrated as usual! Best wishes on your written versions of your stories. It's a shame RU-vid doesn't tell you what phrase or word caught the attention of their algorithms and caused them to flag your last video. If it makes a difference, it showed up on my RU-vid. Perhaps it's the individual restrictions that some of your viewers put on their RU-vid accounts that flagged it?

I love Your channel, your stories, and the care in which you present these cases. I get so excited when i see you've uploaded a new video. Thanks for the time you put in for us.

Congratulations, Mark 👏👏👏 An audiobook would be a great idea!

A crime I'd never heard of although in my lifetime once again sublimely researched and delivered by you excellent

I’m so glad you’re putting your amazing work here into book form, Mr. Maguire. I’ve had a spare room in my house designated for books for years now and I look forward to adding your fascinating essays to it!

As i was browsing this lunchtime for something to listen to, i was so happy to see your channel pop up on notifications..great story , thanks for your work i love it xxxx

I will follow you with books. I have loved them, they are always successfully complete. I will however miss your visual introductions and most of all, the gentle elaboration of your stories through the tone with which you pace the plots and conclusions. Best wishes.

RU-vid is so crazy. They should get rid of videos of idiots doing stupid stunts that get other idiots hurt. What you do is history. It may be criminal history but it's still history. I saw your last video and it's still showing on your channel on my youtube. I wonder if some folks may have their settings on google or youtube set to PG or something like that.

Very well done. A thoughtful presentation of a cold case, now thankfully solved.

Such a tragedy, Mark for this young woman, unacknowledged in her burial site. RIP Lorraine. What happened to her children?

Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in your videos, Mark. I am definitely going to buy the printed version of them. Are all the links in the description? (I am sorry too busy writing to be able to listen to).

Good evening Sir! What a glorious surprise! 😊❤ Thank you!!!

Thanks Mark. Your presentation of the cases and your analysis is always so interesting. Your voice is also very soothing. Have to admit I often fall asleep listening so end up revisiting your videos over and over but always do end up listening to the whole case. Thanks!😮

I didn’t know there was such a thing of pupblic and un marked burial. How cruel and unsettling to an already tragic ending for the family of Lorain. Her poor infant children and her mother who each were robbed of her presence for many years to come. Why wasn’t there a charity in place that the people of that community saw to provide the victem with a proper grave site.

Excellent documentary! Beautiful voice.

I'm saving this for bedtime.

It always makes my day when you post a video! I'm sorry to hear you got slapped with the viewer discretion flag on the last video. If users don't know to proceed to watch the movie or they have parental controls, it's tricky to figure out. I think this happened to a few other your videos (Lizzie Borden for example) have that flag. I think if you started recording audiobooks, it would be much loved. I find your research, scripts, and drawings fascinating. But your voice is magnolious. I can listen to certain videos over and over because the story is so interesting and your voice just never gets old.

It is amazing how much absolute rubbish gets through undetected while interesting well produced things are blocked. It is their dastardly algorithms. An automated program decides everything these days, in one way or another.

Really enjoyed this new case, many thanks Mark. 10/10

Excellent...again... Imho, your's is one of the best channels on YT... Thank you for your keen productions...

Thank you Mark, your vids are well researched and thought prevoking; top drawer mate.

The Betty Williams upload is able to be viewed in Australia. It now has an advisory warning. Thank You Mark. My ultimate favourite channel. Appreciate all your hard work and will be definitely buying your book.

It's so exciting that you are back and to listen you you always make my day. Hope that you can be back soon again. Thank you so much.

Another wonderful narration and great telling of a sad story. Thanks Mark you are the best.

I watched the Betty Williams episode, it was wonderful and beautifully done. I can not think of any reason why they would remove it!

A book of TGAWM! I ❤ these stories, and sharing your channel and books with my grandkids. They are proud of Mr. McGuire and their RU-vid savvy granny!

Wow, excellent historical recount and reconstruction of events...

Great story and your telling of it. Sorry we missed the other video.

Excellent content and storytelling, as always, Mr. McGuire. I was delighted to see the notification of a new post to your channel. I have ordered your new book, and look forward to its arrival. I watched the Betty Williams episode when it was published, and I can still watch it, although it does give me a warning about disturbing content that I must acknowledge before it will play. I am watching from the U.S., and I do pay for RU-vid Premium, so that might affect the availability, but I don't know that for sure.
