Robert Haugen | Murder She Solved | S3E03 

Whoever invented CODIS deserves a HUGE! HUGE! AWARD. Decades old cases get solved because of that system. Also, kudos to detectives who never gave up on solving cases.

"Yes I knew that he smoked m, yes I know that he sold m but that didn't matter to me" 💔😔"He doesn't deserve what happened to him" This woman, is such a true one

Detective calling the mother with the positive results is heartbreaking. Cant imagine how happy the mother after a long long years of waiting. Kudos to Sgt Shull you're a hero to his mom.

When his friend said they put flowers in the ocean to say ,I remember you,I haven't forgotten you,that's so heartbreaking!!

Recently I come across this channel and got hooked to it. The stories are addictive.

He is dangerous even in jail because of his death threats to officer! He should get death sentence so the officer could live a normal life!!!

It is so satisfying when the brilliant detectives get the bad guys, even after so many years. That detective was right when he said the family never forgets.

I can't stop thinking about how back in 88 somebody on public assistance could afford to live by the beach. I was born at the wrong time.

I'm so hooked on these can't even explain it

I really like the prosecutor on this case. I've seen him on a few other cases and he's just a class act.

Job WELL DONE! Thank goodness for hard working, dedicated people like you who never give up!! Justice served.

I used to "light up the room" when I showed up. I now sneak in without being noticed. I poke my own eyes so that they don't "sparkle". I don't laugh..I don't want to accidentally be the "life of the party". I usually hide behind the largest potted plant I can find. I don't drink so that I can stay alert. I'm no longer getting many invites to parties. If all these crime videos begin to start with "she was boring as hell" I'm going to have to change my tactics... but so far..I haven't been murdered 😆😆😆

That guy’s eyes were absolutely terrifying! They were like an evil lizard.

This was a thrilling episode. Loved the dedication of EVERYONE involved. Yvonne's empathy and dedication, Ray putting life on the line , smart Prosecutor getting the court to witness the real nature of this one - good one guys !

I am so glad Robert's mother got closer. God bless her.

Thank you for uploading these she solved cases, please continue to ❤️❤️❤️I really love how these female detectives are dedicated to solving and getting justice for the people ☺️

You'll know how good of a person Robert (RIP) is when his friend said" knowing robert he would probably forgave paul"

Listening to how broken the mother was brought me to tears.I could give the detectives a hug myself. This one was absolutely heartbreaking.

my god...the most disturbing part is that most of the time victims do know their killers....God take care of my friends, for enemies I will take care of myself...

“People” that torture other human beings *AREN’T HUMAN P~E~R~I~O~D*

The detective-woman has such a lovely smile😍

Both my sister and my son are in law enforcement. I get so proud watching these things knowing that THIS is their motivation---to catch the bad guys. God bless them all.

Fantastic investigative work and prosecutorial performance. Robert seemed a lovely person, sorry for his mother's loss.

I’m loving miss detective. She is so articulate and I love the way she told her story. 😊❤

First officer in these shows I've seen willingly admit that marijuana association wasn't gonna stop her from attempting Justice for this man. 🙏

I've watched a ton of these true crime shows and I had never gotten choked up at any of them, until this one.

You watch enough of these you quickly realize unless your family cares, and by luck you get a detective who cares or your murder goes unsolved.

I am hooked on these shows. I really am !!

Such an awesome job by the police - well done guys - wish there was more out and about - thank you for not giving up x

Nothing like a mother's love. Every year on his birthday.

When his friend said Rob would’ve forgave Paul 😢

It doesn't matter that I've watched ALL these before, I'm watchin em again!!

Paul Smith isn't even remostful of what he'd done. His gf/wife sticked to him but when arrested voluntarily speak against Paul Smith. Due to hard work & patience case was solved, God bless u all!

Those cold case detectives are amazing. They go on and on and on until they solve the case. I'm very glad that the scumbag sociopath murderer was caught. My condolences to all of Robert's loved ones. Rest in peace.

Now that is called hard work and dedication!!!

Bless these detectives and those who loved that man-Bless those who fight for real truth n justice now more than ever!

I love that they said he would have forgiven his killer .

Sgt. Shull you are a super woman.. I salute you for not giving up. It was a very scary case even to watch and curious too wat an extra ordinary case... N ya knowing Shull receiving the award was a bonus. I never comment though I watch bt this case was different than any other case i have watched so far. Technology age nothing can be hidden.

Stories like this keep the flicker of hope I have our country, our world, from being extinguished. Individuals like this, with a heart of gold, fighting the good fight, with no quit. Many Blessings 🙏🇺🇸

I love Yvonne Shull! I would love to be friends with her. She’s just so cool!

die Ermittlerin ist maximal sympathisch! Guter Job 👍🏽

Ebrahim Baytieh is the only prosecutor I've ever heard say he is only human we all make mistakes, I thought they were the only people on earth that never get it wrong, that's the way 95% of them act

One question...why wasn't he also charged for attempting to kill the police officers?

Nice crime doc. I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel. New subscriber? U betcha! 🧑‍🎄

Sunset Beach is the name locals call this area. The rest of Los Angeles and the rest of the world calls this Huntington Beach.

Awesome job guys! 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Wow! As far as his beginnings (Biola, star wrestler, etc) you never would have thought. Are sociopaths born? I'd love to hear what his ex-wife had to say about him! I'd love to hear an analysis by a forensic psychologist. He never was a real Christian with a converted heart. Did he suffer terrible abuse within his "perfect" family. Will be researching this guy for sure.

Hallelujah for Mama's ❤️👏🏼👏🏼

The cases that bother me are the ones about ppl with no family or close friends to ensure their case is important.

Interestingly it took a woman to try and make it a priority to solve this case. As a mother I cannot imagine not knowing what happens to my babies. God bless his mom and the lady detective

Thank you TrueCrimeCentral ❤

The case was dismissed last year because of police misconduct in a "snitch scandal." They have yet to retry him, so he is walking the streets. Just remember, you are watching old shows. Too bad so many cops are corrupt. Corruption ruined my sister's murder case. It will never be solved. Ever.

It’s ridiculous to equate using weed with some sort of indication of the type of person someone is. I’m always consistently surprised by who I discover uses marijuana.

The mum never gave up and the detectives also he is in one of satan Legion sad indeed this one but thanks from Australia 👍🦘

Love this new forensic files 👌

Yvonne Shull’s smile warms my heart. ❤

Just absolutely love your channel.💚

I still wonder how Paul Smith failed to become a human being. He probably descended from a long line of horrible people. Poor Bob Haugen. Paul was probably jealous/hopelessly envious of Bob's relationships, Bob's ``joie de vie,'' and maybe Paul was torturing Bob for info about the female roommate. The camera work is unhelpful, regarding shots of the crime scene (only one room?)

I just looked up Paul Gentile Smith as someone in the comments stated the conviction has been overturned. But they were unable to find much information due to the fact he doesn’t live in this country. If you look up Paul Gentile Smith you will find the information. The issue is part political and part PROBABLE criminal and has to do with the Orange County Informant Scandal and the prosecutor. This is terrible as many convicted criminals that they could have convicted WITHOUT informants are going to be granted new trials.

Ok, I am not a victim blamer here but Tina, seriously??? "Babe" 🤮 He fucked her mind so so bad it leaves me speechless.

Great audio....but wtf?.. overturned??..

All of u r hero's! Amazing work

14:10 David reminds me of some character from pirates of the Caribbean. Or that guitarist from 5FDP with the huge long handlebar mustache

Amazing detective work

I love, Sargent Yvoone Shoal's, spirit and smile 🥰🦋

I did some follow up on this case just five minutes ago, not only Ebrahim Baytieh was fired from OC, the conviction of Smith's soliciting to hire hitman to harm officer had been completely thrown out! Articles all mentioned Baytieh was hiding couple of the jail informants' existences from the defense attorneys. So the trials were all tainted by his misconduct. Even the murder case would be re-trialed. This is horrible!! Folks, you can google this under 'Paul Gentile Smith' and many more developments of this long painstaking case will pop out.

You mean to tell me, after hearing and seeing him, you REALLY don't know why he killed him!! Maybe because he was a drug dealer and the drug addict got mad.

This is gonna be a good one.

Awesome work. Nobody is a bad terrible person because they choose to sell Marijuana or other drugs. It's about the money. Survival mode rather. Raping, killing, hating are terrible people.

Good on these investigators for NEVER giving up...

It must be stressful living your life knowing you killed someone. Just basically waiting for them to knock on your door & arrest you ur whole life. Unless you did the crime in a sucky police area or something where they rarely solve murders. Just a terrible thing to do & a horrible way to live.

Sounds like Sgt. Ray solved it, not her.

Great detectives

Great job guys

I think I will need to start learning how to defend myself cos there are a lot of crazy predators out there

Good job guys

Give Larry Welborn is own show - I never tire of listening to him tell stories.....

We had a friend murdered in Tulare, CA, in 1981. It may be time to call the department again. This gives me some hope.

Good job! 👏👏👏

34:05 Ma’am I cried too. ✊🏽 ♥️

Enjoying from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Really good show.

CODIS began as a pilot project in 1989 as a means to collect DNA data. A large group of FBI scientists developed, tested and implemented the CODIS, Combined DNA Index System, software as well as training support for authorized forensic professionals to collect DNA samples from offenders. The DNA Identification Act of 1994 formalized the FBI’s authority to establish a National DNA Index System (NDIS) for law enforcement purposes and NDIS became operational in 1998.

Even though dna evidence started being used in court in 1991… y’all still waited 14 years to submit the killers blood to the dna lab…knowing that you got a yearly reminder to make progress toward identifying the killer from the mother of the victim. How do you investigate a bloody murder scene for 14 years BEFORE you decide to take that blood to your lab to be tested for dna? It would be understandable if they had tested the dna finding no match to anyone then just search for matches in the system every year on his birthday. If they had exhausted all leads and could do no more than to wait for the repeat offender to have his dna uploaded, I’d understand the stall and the exasperation But to Never have tested the blood from the scene in all that time? I consider that incompetence and apathy on the part of the investigators.

It's like giving CPR to an elephant !!!Lol

I never know much about this case until I saw the episode.

That's some real detective work. Took a while, but they got that monster off the street.

This conviction has recently been overturned...

I love it!

Unfortunately it’s the most unusual and unlikely people who often get away with this stuff for the longest. And a *shocking* number of them never reoffending or take *years* before they do so and are caught.

He could repent his crime and give the justice and closure to the mother of his victim.

10:10 wow who Carrie’s an *address* book!? *especially* men I guess this was a long ways back, a different era… but still.

I LOVE the Orange County Sheriff Department !! They "Rock", They keep all of Orange County safe! They are Respected and Loved by all of us in the O.C.

Yvonne and Baytieh are committed to helping others and their egoes don´t seem to stand in the way of justice as it does with so many other members of police or the justice system. And yes, whoever tortures another living creature (human, animal, a forest) is always a danger.

I would kneel down and kiss those feet of those police investigation officers who never give up in the name of justice.

good working

A prominent Orange County prosecutor was fired Wednesday (February 2022) after an independent investigation sparked by a 2010 murder conviction that was overturned last year over allegations of withheld evidence, authorities confirmed. Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer said the investigation concluded Tuesday after examining whether Ebrahim Baytieh failed to properly turn over evidence in discovery and whether he was truthful when questioned by the U.S. Department of Justice in an ongoing federal probe into prosecutors’ use of jailhouse informants. As a result of the inquiry, Baytieh was terminated, Spitzer said. “I made it unequivocally clear when I ran … that I would not tolerate the ‘win at all costs’ mentality of the prior administration,” he said. “My prosecutors will not violate the Constitution and the rights of defendants in order to get convictions.” Despite that...Baytieh won election for judge of the Superior Court of Orange County in California on June 7, 2022, after the general election was canceled. Baytieh assumed office on January 2, 2023. Baytieh's current term ends on January 8, 2029. Only in America

Am I the only one who turns these on when I'm having trouble sleeping? 😥😩 I'm out in 10

To bad he wasn’t working instead off surfing, collecting few different things. Could have been different RIP

And now Paul Smith stars in Bar Rescue!
