The Murder of The Hassell Family 

Only 72.5k subscribers? That’s nowhere near enough for this channel. The amount of research and knowledge with the exceptional presentation needs more subs. Thank you for all your hard work.

Once again, more lives were lost because authorities declined to follow up reports of a missing woman. Even more reprehensible that her children were missing as well.

I love these older stories from a time when brutality was actually shocking. Great research on such an old story.

The older cases always fascinate me. Especially stuff from the very late 1800' early 1900's. Police methods and tech were just starting and crazy ass crimes that were written off as accidents or people leaving and going home were hard to investigate. Hunting down family on the other side of the country by letter or telegraph took time and there were more "pressing" maters that could be handled on the day to day.

I think it’s suspicious that he was the only one to see his brother die. Loved the video!

What a freak. These family annihilators have always been amongst us. So evil.

Wow he was a serial killer and nobody knew it. He was scary.

Grisly case. Thanks for covering this oldie.✌

Whiskey actually prevented a massacre that time.

If someone is *clearly* guilty of murders like this, and especially if they are admitting to them, I think this is the way capital punishment should be carried out. As soon as possible. Not 20yrs later.

Hi Ash 🌳 Great Story 👍🏼 never heard of this one, the family headstone is so tragic. I had a feeling he killed his first family. How can anyone kill a child? Unimaginable. He was put down a year before my dad was born in 1929, the pictures look great did you touch them up ? Thank you for sharing your research and entertaining us 👍🏼

I have never heard of this story. Thanks once again

Yes! Something to fall asleep to. Perfect timing ❤

Hello, under the ash tree I'm so glad to see another amazing video you rock girl keep up the sensational job ❤

I appreciate you too! Thanks for all your hard work!

I suspect his brother was not kicked by a mule.

That jolly smile of his shows that psychopaths really are good at faking human emotion.

This case must've been a Hassell to solve for investigators. Props to them for doing it regardless.

I’ve heard about Family Annihilators but Jesus

Fascinating video Ash 👌 💯♥️

I actually had to laugh when you started talking about this absolute monster would sit in his cell on death row making doilies!! The contrast between that and complete carnage that he was responsible for is so disturbing!!! I always think when I hear these stories of capital crimes from the past, that I wish executions were applied as swiftly now as they were then..just my opinion! Relaxing under the Ash Tree is always great! Very interesting story, thank you 🙏

Your narrative skills have always been good. It is one of many reasons I subscribed, but you have shown great improvement. I love your style. Keep up the good work!!

Wow what a story! George was a real monster. Once again excellent job doing all the research and putting it all together in this video.

I wonder if he murdered his brother, too?

Great story! You’ve just gotten a new subscriber!

Great job delivering this story. One scary dude...

Good job Ms Ash, John Barleycorn strikes again. I used to love whiskey too; but it never made me THAT crazy.

I really enjoy your channel. I appreciate what you do & the quality of your videos. You definitely deserve a ton of subscribers. I wish YT supported quality content creators who cover difficult topics. It's a huge aspect of what brings their platform traffic.. i hope YT improves their system.

As a fellow Texan Abilene is pronounced “AB UH LEEN” 😃

Hi Ash! I haven't been able to watch you in awhile and I have missed your stories!!! ❤

What a despicable man. He just killed so many for absolutely no reason, not that having one makes it in any way okay.. but he took their lives as easily as he changed his socks! And on top of that he’s a pedophile and child rapist. He was a person who just didn’t care one bit about anything or anyone, and felt hardly anything real by way of common decency. He deserved his fate totally.

Excellent story; thank you for taking the time to tell us about this awful crime.

Just found you! I smashed the sun button. Thanks for these little known cases. ❤❤❤

New one for me. Thank you

Hey, I live near San Angelo!! Thanks for your hard work!!!🙂

Wish you would post more often, your ability to keep me glued is amazing

Another interesting case

Interesting and entertaining; good work!

Of course a murderer would lie (about anything).

Great video! Top tier crime channel on RU-vid, 100%. Struck by a mule, mm'kay. This troglodyte was totally tired of hearing it from his type-A personality older brother about all that he was doing wrong or not doing successfully with his life, plus his sister-in-law caught his eye finally (he had already committed multiple murders by this time), so he smashed his brother in the head during field work one day to take over his life and wife. Death followed this guy around wherever he went. Crazy to think that there was never any justice for his older brother Thomas who got long-stroked while working in the field to provide for his wife and many children, who would eventually all be killed by the same monster. Crazy!

New subscriber n loving it

CHILLING TO THEE BONE !

That man looks just as evil as can be.

Your intro is amazing

What a Hassell that farmer caused.

0:33 Quit offering candy to kids. was my first thought. Thanks for the video!

I'm a big fan of your channel, but I'm not really familiar with computers, so I don't know if thi

Now I understand why Prohibition happened. Men too weak to leave booze alone, going around murdering and blaming it on booze.

Great story ❤

Thank you

What an awful human being! Great research to tell this story! I appreciate you, as always, Ash! Hope you're doing well ❤l❤

Truly SAD !!

As far back as we go there seems to be violence in humanity but we didn't have the fast Internet to be aware of these crimes. I grew up in a small town that wasn't exactly peaceful. I moved as soon as possible. Maybe if I can I can message you a spooky story if it's ok.❤

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬🌹

That family didn't hassell him after that.

I'd not heard of this guy, but the picture is familiar. I wonder where I've seen it?

I didn't see anything on if there was a memorial for his 1st family he killed.

what a lovely guy

I gotta say, there should be no way, this child was hidden. Sounds like twins experiments from the 70's... Some children were born just for that

You have a pleasant voice.

A book was written about this guy by Lana Barnette. He sure was an evil thing

Whoa his guy was really twisted

Oh my god

I was going to kill people, but, shit man, I fell asleep. 😂😂😂

ASH TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💖🤗❤️

❤

George was rotten piece of work

❤️🖤

✔️

He made doilies in prison for visitors?? 🤔 Did I hear that correctly? Intresting.

I had a distant relative who was killed by a mule kick to the head!

Some people just need not to be born.

🙂👍!

Just in time for bed 🤗♥️

He would have gotten along great with Lori Valliw Daybell....

Woe to be kin to this guy.....it should have read "families" ? The good ole days were horrific for some.

George Jefferson 😂 thats funny. He was a mama called preacher. My ex brother-in-law is a preacher, as was my father in law. But that was the first time I had heard that term. A mama called preacher 😂 but it's not hard to tell the difference if you know the difference. The mom should know better if she knew her bible. It's just bragging rights for the mom. She doesn't care that it's just wrong. Anyone who knows anything about farm animals knows not to get behind a horse or a mule, or you'll get your brains kicked out. You'll either die or be really off in the head from then on out.

Hello Ash, this case baffled me to say the least! His first wife isn't very nice, maybe that's just me! She wouldn't even let his son know that he is his father at all.

Where have you gone? 😢

🙂💕

Love the old stuff😁

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I think my step mother contibuted to my fathers death

heheh. George Jefferson...

explain why its necessary to say a child was born to their parents, every person that has every lived has been born to their parents, if they were adopted they were still born to their parents 🙄🙄

I can’t decide if this is A.I. narrated or not. Kinda sounds like it. Kinda doesn’t… (A.I.narration👎)
