Grandma Lynch was right in not liking Susie

Rest in Forever Peace Paradise, John, Jim, Delores, Janie, Hattie, Robert, and Florence.

This story has been on my mind for years since it happened when I was 10 years old. I was around the same age of those two boys and I felt a part of my childhood died that day of the explosion. I lived down the road from what Fritz referred to as "the mountain" as quoted in the book 'Bitter Blood' by Jerry Bledsoe. The mountain was the land/farm that Fritz's father (Dr. Klenner) owned where Fritz would set off dynamite and made caves. It would feel like an earthquake around the area. This was on Chumney Loop Rd. outside of Eden, NC and the land has a few houses on it now but is still very rural. Most documentaries don't speak of that area but that's where Fritz was headed that day of the police chase and explosion. If you never read the 'Bitter Blood' book (the movie does not do it justice) then you are missing out on a lot more interesting information surrounding this bizarre story. Especially the things involving the aftermath of it all of Kentucky detective, Lt. Dan Davidson's further investigation of Suzie's involvement and an insightful psychological take on Fritz in the epilogue.

RIP to all those who died because of the twisted mind-set of two evil people, especially the two boys and including the wee dogs. My deepest condolences to their loved ones, especially the dad of the boys. He was spot on when he said his ex-wife was possessive over them. Being like that is not true love. Being like that means you consider your children to be no more than possessions. This also applies to romantic love.

Sad those fools had to take the kids and dogs with them. That’s just pure evil

Those poor children.. they must of been terrified

I was so excited to see this story told here, although there is a TON of backstory involved! I read Ann Rules book, “Bitter Blood,” & it’s a sad but oddly appropriate read for the state of society today. A story about what happens, when people choose to allow others to ignore reality!

I just finished reading this book last month. 😮 Talk about warped and sad. Those boys gone in a second. If only the courts were not so influenced by the old money. 😢

You need to read the book. Bitter Blood. Outstanding. I was actually working at the intersection they had a slight accident at just minutes before they set off the explosion. I’ll never forget it.

RIP to all of those who died because of the twisted mindset of two evil people, especially those two innocent boys and including those dogs. How twisted does your mind have to be to kill your former mother, sister in law, your kids and your family. I feel for Tom Lynch not only did he lose his mother and sister, he lost his two boys

Wow! That's some kind of crazy. Those poor boys didn't ask for any of that.

Wait, I gotta pause this thing. The daughter “Janie” wasn’t “at the wrong place at the wrong time.” The girl or woman was at HOME with her elderly momma. Can we please stop using that statement to describe tragic murders?😢

I just have to say thank you for covering so many Kentucky cases! And older cases too. Hey y’all from KY! 🌾🐎🌽🌳👋

I love this series, it’s my new favourite true crime channel ❤

I read the book about this bizarre case, called 'Bitter Blood', years ago. The events that took place, and the characters involved, would be to strange for Hollywood.

I believe this is the case I read about years ago. Some of the murders actually happened behind my aunt's house in Reidsville / Greensboro NC. The name of the book is called Bitter Blood

Thank thank you so much for posting these videos lately ! I’m so happy to see them when you post them👍🏼

😢 this is horrible. Those people didn’t deserve to be killed especially the two sweet boys. I’m so sorry for their loss.

There was a movie based on this . Kelly McGillis played Susie. What an Evil woman she was.

Omg 😮😢😭 How sad. I was not expecting things to end this way. What a selfish, self centred pos she was.. To take your children out like that, just so their father CANT have them!! Omg... Im in shock. Total shock 😮😢😭🫣😫😩😭

Thank you for covering stories we have not seen over and over again

Great job on narration A.G. !! 🇺🇸 💯

This is one of the most heartbreaking and horrific stories I have ever heard!!! Those 2 young boys didn't deserve this nor did the family!!! 2 absolutely selfish and evil people I have heard of... 21:47

Oldham, a beautiful place. So sad it is messed up by evil people.

I read the book many, many years ago and tho some of the details escaped me, I always remembered Winston- Salem NC and the ending explosion😢

Wow what a senseless tragedy 😢😢. My heart bleeds for the dad of those boys 💔

You wouldn't believe this if it was a movie, it would seem too far fetched 😭😭 those poor poor children 💔💔💔

Nice drone footage of Covered Bridge rd down onto their house. We used to ride our ponies by their house and they'd fuss at us to walk on the other side of the street, but there is only so much room to try and stay away from the cars on a narrow road-narrower back then. They put in bushes to keep us away. It is a horrible crime and I really hope Dolores and Janie are at peace and her son can find some peace after all that horribleness. Amazing detectives to figure it all out...

This was so sad!!

I remember the day it all ended, it was horrible and tragic, Greensboro, NC was horrified

I’ll never understand why folks kill. I know why many do. I just don’t understand it. It truly pisses me off.

Was this made into a lifetime movie back in the day? It seems so familiar

I just found out about this - and I live Nextdoor to where this vehicle exploded! So incredibly horrific!

OMG 😭

I can’t help but think that it’s very wise to keep your feelings to yourself if you dislike your daughter in law. And make every effort to get along with her, at the very least you’ll be able to keep a relationship with your grand children intact, even if the parents separate. If it was my son I would have strongly advised him to give custody to the mother. And have visitation rights. They will eventually make up their own minds who they want to spend time with.

I always keep all my receipts.

The name Fritz is suspicious enough

This is so sad may God blessed their souls rip to them sip……..

My God...what a mess😢

I’m sorry

We're Fritz and Susan involved in an insestuious relationship? If so, that is sick.

Crazy

What a horrible story!

It blows my mind how many people are irritated about the music. It’s kinda weird. So many complainers in this world these days… nothing positive to say. Just negativity. Not like hey great video or poor victims. Just the music sucks.

This was a really famous murder case. I have a book that was written about it. Sad.

I have always put receipts in my wallet after paying a bill and ever so often I clean out my wallet so for me it would be normal to have receipts in my wallet especially if I hadn’t gotten around to clean it out yet 🤷🏼‍♀️ this makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong by not throwing everything away immediately 😮

Four months . After being an accessory. That’s BS ! RIP to all those people

i saw the movie it’s on lifetime it’s really sad movie

Never gave it much thought

Its so sad that so many selfish people choose to kill the kids instead of sharing them with their other parent. I got a divorce in 1994 after years of him cheating and being verbally abusive. However he became a better dad after the divorce. I never remarried and have no intentions of ever remarrying because it was a really bad marriage. Now my children are grown. My daughter and my oldest son have very little to do with him but my youngest still sees him and talks to him regularly.

That music is irritating!!

✔️

God has a Special place in Hell for those 2 Adults and a Special place in Heaven for the 2 young boys! May all who died rest in peace except Susie and Fritz, may their souls forever live in torment! 👍👍👍

This is the most evil story ever told

The music is to loud

I'm and Africa America my mommy use to keep the family member in Winston Salem nc up there in rural hall the book bitter blood the two kids who died in the explosion in the truck her and cousin them was her sons how you going let him poison them so they can go to sleep She was crazy and the cousin I'm not falling in love with no family member

I agree with others who are calling out the folks who post these stories and yet they play havoc with TRUTH, and DESCRIPTION of the FACTS. WORDS MATTER AND I WISH those who report these stories, would learn the proper verbiage that makes the whole DESPICABLE CRIME like this one, as just another ho/hum day. NOOOOO THESE POOR WOMEN WHERE SLAUGHTERED LIKE THEY WERE ON A BATTLEFIELD during WWII, Or frankly ANY HARD FOUGHT BATTLE.

Tre4 represent!!! Lol

Did the two adults die in the crash as well?

Susie & Fritz were cousins, at that. How you get romantically involved with ya own DNA?! 🤮🤮🤮

where was he in the meantime? doing what where and when?

There was a movie made about this back in the 80s. I never heard of the story, but I remember the movie. It would be interesting to know exactly why Susie divorced her husband, and did not want to share custody the dynamics from friends and family woul make this even mmore interesting because she sounded mentally ill. You can be functional, but mentally ill. Listen to your parents because the mother did not like her

Humans are gods only mistake

They made a movie about this story staring the same woman that was in Top Gun I. I can not remember her name.

You can't hear very well because of annoying background music. It's ridiculous

What caused the car to explode?

Did everyone die including Fritz which was a suicide and Susie in the explosion,… but how did the boys actually die did the guy say ..??👍🏻 thank you

Nice picture of Greensboro, NC instead of Winston-Salem. Tells me that this is not very well researched.

Lot of foliage 🎉

The boys died?

Jeez ...how much of this story did you not bother to include ??...virtually impossible to understand what occured from this sad presentation .

There is movie about this, don't remember name but Susie was real nut case..

the background noise is just far too distracting and annoying. Just get rid of it.

That background noise is anoying and distracting.

I think they thought they were going to be like Bonnie & Clyde except they involved her own children & dogs without care in the world. What a selfish prick! It cant be said how evil their actions were especially Susie, to have her own boys died like that. I didn’t think they mentioned the motives tho. Why did they have to kill Susie’s parents & grandma?

Another Wendi Adelson

I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to watch this one; the movie was too graphic by itself. I’m sorry!

CIA?

Seriously. I hear soo many time's that they were church people. Are they " born again "

5 minutes in but music is too annoying to continue.

I'm sick of it with this stereotype "wrong place at the wrong time" this is BS change this phrase because it's ridiculous, appalling , being in your mother house in your free time what kind BS is that ??

All of that carnage and death because of ONE SELFISH CVNT. Disgusting. 💔💔💔
