This is UNHINGED: She MURDERED Her Friend with EYE DROPS?! The Case of Jessy Kurczewski 

That advert was so long that when it ended Id forgotten the subject and thought the video was over 🙈😂

I know some viewers gripe because of the reflection in your glasses but I had to say … Rachel, you look so cute in your glasses. I love it.

This happened with my grandma. They didn't kill her but they came in when she got sick. "family" we had never really met. I was 18 taking care of her. They told everyone I stole and wasnt taking care of her. When she passed no one told me....they threw away everything or sold it we don't know. My heart still aches 😔 I should not have left her

Too bad there isn’t an independent oversight organization that can assign advocates who can monitor the home-based care of and ultimately protect the wellbeing & interests of such vulnerable patients.

This is terribly upsetting. I actually was a caretaker for 3 elderly ladies that I took care of for a long time. This disgusts me, to take advantage of a vulnerable little old lady. I began cleaning houses for them, which turned into me doing things just like this. Elderly people should perhaps be assigned an attorney Adli tum, or someone to look over their accounts. It just seems like there should be some system in place to keep an eye on things. Maybe the bank. If a little lady who has spent a certain amount every year, then suddenly runs up accounts on credit cards; the police should be notified. IDK? I never thought about just how easy it would be for anyone to have access to a person so vulnerable. I guess it's human nature to think of other people as good, because that just the way good people think. But I know how trusting my friends were. By the time you care for someone so many years, you're more than employer employee, I genuinely cared deeply for all of them. Now, just let me play the devil's advocate for a moment. This is a lady I worked for many years cleaning her house. She probably was about 60-65 when I began working for her. A likeable lady who did charitable work off and on, still drove and was active, but there were hardcore prescription drugs everywhere. I would find them all over the floor, at least 20 sometimes more, pills that she dropped, so I would try to sort them and put them back in the bottles for her. I began to realize she had a drug problem. She still functioned, and paid me well, and I was very discreet. Then she began to drink heavily. She moved and didn't call me for a year or so. She calls me to her new apartment, and she was totally out of control. Drugs like amphetamines and tranquilizers everywhere, prescribed. Once every two weeks I would carry a large green trash bag full of half gallon whiskey bottles every time, sometimes 2. It sounds impossible, but I promise you it's true. This went on over the course of 5 or 6 years, and at this point she is basically bed ridden. She can still drive to get whiskey though and her medicine. One week, I go clean, and I see she has been prescribed a drug called Antabuse, and I realized she had been through rehab. So, I asked her about it. She told me her son made her go, and I was so happy. But next time I came back, she was back at it. At this point the work was getting nasty, she was throwing up everywhere, she had a poor little dog that she didn't take care of that pooped everywhere. But mostly she was scaring me to death.I couldnt stop thinking about her. I knew one week I would show up, and she would be dead. It was killing me, I dreaded going. I loved this lady at this point, and I wanted to help her so bad. I lectured her, wheedled her, begged her to no avail. So, I looked up her son, I knew he worked at the post office. I go there ask for him and tell him what's going on. He says "Yeah, we know. We put her in rehab several times, but she just won't stop" So I leave. I went back the next week and I tell her that I can't come back, unless she goes back into rehab, I beg her to go. I just couldn't watch her kill herself. Thats what I told her. I guess I was hoping it might work. Foolish me. I know she probably died alone and drunk, and I feel guilty for that. I was young and had family, I could only handle so much. Now, if I had been her caretaker, not just a house cleaner, hell even as a house cleaner, I could have totally taken advantage, written huge checks, stolen her credit cards, who knows? Right? On the other hand, here is a lady so sadly addicted to alcohol and drugs, that does such crazy things, spilling pills everywhere. No one would believe such an outlandish tale. It boggles the mind. How a little old lady can consume so much alcohol and so many drugs, that she spills bottles of the stuff. I wouldn't be surprised what she did, because it beggared belief. Truly you would have to see it to believe it. Thank heavens she was the exception, and I cared for several more ladies. I loved doing it. But I am just saying, there are desperate people out there that do crazy things To be clear, this is one despicable human being. She profited off of a sick little old lady. Truly vile and sickening. Shes dangerous they should lock her up for life. She gives us all a bad name. All the good people that truly do care, will be looked at with such mistrust. We need someone to watch over our little old ladies and gentlemen. That will be us someday. And you can learn so much. They have lived full lives and are dying for someone to talk to. And what a privilege it is to share such intimate moments with someone on a personal level. It has enriched my life. I never gained financially except the hourly wage I charged. Never more than I thought they could pay. But someone needs to be over seeing their care and their finances. To prevent such tragedies. They are truly the most vulnerable, along with children and disabled. We need to have protections of some sort in place! This case really makes me wake up and realize something needs to be done. It looks like it could potentially be a huge problem and they are the perfect murder victims. I give the police credit on this case; she could so easily slip through the cracks. It's probably happening to someone somewhere right now.

So I’m watching the court case and they did show a pic of Lyn!! She’s actually very beautiful

The pink hair and round glasses are such a cute vibe. Miss seeing your sparkling beautiful blue eyes though. 😊

Girl, you are better than me lol. I make people deal with the reflection in my glasses otherwise I literally cannot see 🤣😂. Wonderful video as usual!

Wow, with friends like her, who needs enemies.

She was found guilty on all charges today. She sobbed as her fate was read. She will be sentenced 12/7/23 but the murder charge carries a mandatory life sentence. Lynn got justice.

This case is sad and just make me more aware when choosing my friends. Thanks for sharing this devastating story Rachel.❤

Rachel, I love the way you present each case. You do it with such style, grace, respect and knowledge!! ❤

I came for True Crime but got a 30 minute infomercial for eye glasses.

Rachel has become my latest true crime bestie on RU-vid since she has been so diligent and pampering us frequently with fascinating or crazy cases! Thanks a lot Rachel!

I love watching and listening to your informative stories. Thank you Rachel!😊

As sad as it is, but I strongly believe that what really happened is that Jessy took Lynn's (or Lyn) life. Jessy sounds like not only someone with some serious gambling and greed issues, but also from what we know, she sounds like a narcissist with a savior complex. Every time she described her relationship with Lynn, she painted herself as a selfless guardian angel when her actions are far far from that. And it's a stark contrast, for the most part at least, from how others who actually cared about Lyn described her as. Based on Jessy's criminal history, pattern of behavior, and how she changed her story several times whenever more evidence was brought up, I def believe she did this to Lynn for money. She's selfish and is not very good at hiding it. Also, on a lighter note, I loved the way you advertised the glasses. You could be an ice saleswoman to polar bears imo.

She was being slowly poisoned by her help herself friend...they wanted long term care so they could monitor snd control her food and other intakes

Thank You for the concise breakdown of this case. Trying to get caught up with it and you broke it down clearly without snarky comments and interruptions that get so annoying. You are a brilliant young lady and I am so glad I found your channel!🤗

I hope you have the apple river stabbing case on your radar, would love to see something about it. stabbing happened last year and the trial is scheduled for april 2024, i think they were hoping for people to forget about it, it was so fucked up. there was also cell phone video of part of the attack as well so guy definitely did it.

Hi Rachel! Thanks for covering this case. I really enjoy watching and listening to your content 😊

Love watching your videos, always interesting and well researched, thank you for your hard work Rachel 💕

You did a great job explaining details ❤❤❤❤ i appreciate you

I was poisoned with visine by a bartender who thought I was flirting with her boyfriend. I was with my husband and he sat down next to us. I talked to the police and they said it's your word against hers.....

Love your videos! You make them so interesting! Thank you ❤

If you are in a coma you are not at home. You are in the hospital. As for gambling I know Wisconsin has a ton of gaming places and not just at casinos. I live in Northern Illinois by the Wisconsin border with family there and my husband's work is there. I've seen alot of road signs for attractions in Wisconsin with gambling machines and such at them. It's getting that bad here in Illinois. But, poor Lynn ended up with a con artist in her life and got ripped off badly. Even murdered.

Found this after watching Jessie’s 2 hour sentencing statement today. Had never watched a moment of coverage before that. It’s crazy how she spun this to make herself look innocent

Whew! That was the longest ad ever! Otherwise, once I got to the content, it was awesome! Thank you for doing this. I’ve seen this in the news as a brief blurb but haven’t been able to find a good summary of the case.

Thanks for sharing this case. You always do a great job telling a story and yes you look great in your 😮😢glasses.

So sad. I watched the opening statements of the trial last week. I was just stunned! As of yet, I don’t see any reasonable doubt. Thank you for breaking this down!

Cuuute glasses, girl! 💕 as if you couldn’t get any more adorable 💁🏼‍♀️ My sister and I have talked about this before, that you can kill someone with eye drops. I’m surprised I don’t see more cases like this. I find it incredibly odd that there are no photos of the victim; what on earth? Thank you for covering this case anyways. My condolences to Lynn and her loved ones.

Hi Rachel🥰 Thank you for all your hard work. Have a blessed day.🙏🏽❤️🥰😍😘😊🤗😉💐🌷⚘️🌹❤️🙏🏽

Those glasses are so cute on you! Adorable

I absolutely love you i never miss a case from you ❤

To focus on the positive side of humanity, I'd just like to say bless you and thank you to every hospice care or home healthcare worker out there doing a good job. You are all superheroes. When my grandpa needed home healthcare, his nurses were angels. They'd bring a therapy dog and it really brought him so much joy. They also helped my grandma a ton by being emotional supports.

Your hair looks soo good😍

Retired nurse of 40 yrs. You taught me a new thing. I would never have thought Visine Eye drops ingested orally would kill. I ended my nursing career working nights in the prison. Had female inmate in MEDICAL who when officer wasn't looking & nurse had to answer phone. Inmate whipped that 70% proof hand sant. Off wall drank it. She got drunk but it turns into wood grain ETOH. If ever I heard a nurse say I know EVERYTHING. Run in meds it conts to change & I learn👍🏻

I watch you and Annie Elise EVERY night to go to sleep. Love your videos

You look incredible as per usual ❤❤❤

Just found your channel & you are one of the most interesting crime story tellers.😊

Like, why would you crush up a bunch of drugs to take your life (or stage it) then injest a bunch of eye drops instead? I feel so bad for Lynn and her family and friends who know that she was in a bad way but didnt want this.

Thank you so much for your presentation

Jesse has a pattern of manipulation and fraud. I know ppl like this,sadly family. These ppl don't change,their selfishness and greed, is a never ending hunger. Ppl like Jesse,have no regard for life... they consider ppl their tools,to use and abuse,to benefit themselves. I 💯 believe,she was murdered, for her money. 💔 It's very sad,she was targeted by this Monster. I hope she receives justice,she was a beautiful,caring person...who trusted the wrong person. May she RIP🕊️🍃

You mean: cause of death - poisoning and MANNER of death - homicide, right? ❤

I’m new here and I already love your channel and how you tell the stories!

I'll have the popcorn ready to go

I wonder why Jessie's mother allowed Jessie to assist then become Lyns carer? She knew what her daughter was like, why didn't she say something to Lyn ? She's not to blame for her daughters actions but this is strange.

As a resident of Wisconsin I love listening to you guys try to pronounce our city names.

Rachel you always look fabulous in your choice oh hair colors I love it wish I could do the same and look that good. Always like your content. 👍💖😊

The stories murderers come up with is amusing.

I think Jessie is an extremely selfish individual and a killer. What a sad story

Hi Rachel! You look so pretty as always... Beautiful hair and I love you in glasses!

She wouldn't have left her cats! The caretaker was full of lies and obviously had a game plan- I don't know anybody who would continue to make themselves feel terrible in an attempt to leave this world. That was done to her😢

This was highly informative as I only watched this after this lady was found guilty today. Rest in peace Lynne.

My favorite true crime youtuber ❤❤❤

Jessy is most certainly a thief but that doesn't make her a killer. Of course, she could have manipulated Lynn into committing suicide.

You wear glasses?!!! I love it.

Love the glasses!

So… do we not know what condition Lynn had? I was wondering the entire video and thought you were going to say?

I just started this and already feel so weird bc Lynn and I share a birthday. I usually choose to not watch these if they share a birthday w my kids or I, just bc it makes me weird. But I can’t skip a Rachel video 🫣

Wish we knew what made her so ill!

Glasses look great!! Thank you for the video❤

Ouch, all about those eyes windows to the soul (if I believe in such things which I do not) also very good way to get poisoned into your circulatory system really quick.

Did you put darker color in your hairs? That’s beautiful 😻

Love your hair

Love those glasses on you

I found a photo of Lynn but I can’t share it ☹️

Those glasses are so cute on you!!

Love your videos can you do some in the UK please

Where do you post the updates? I see you always say when the trial is over I’ll update or any new news I’ll update but I can’t find updates. Not trying to sound rude just really would like to know and love your videos ❤

This is such a cute look!

Nothing better than eating sweets and watching Rachel on an evening 😁💛

Hey sending love from Chicago i know the hassel with finding glasses. Smooches 😘

The “cousins & Friends” That came foward imo only came forward due to the money that Lin had. So if I was an investigator I wouldn’t rely too much on those “all of a sudden concerned family members/friends “I watched the trial and a lot of these people wouldn’t even check on Lyn . Exactly why Lyn was so close to Jessy

My aunt was very cunning like Jessi. When her brother finally received verification that he’d receive around $1M in benefits from Black Lung (coal mining) she started taking him to doctors appts, and just always kinda being present although He had a wife and 3 grown kids. When he passed, she forged a will and had a notary public witness it, along with one of her daughters. Everything was “left to her” including his house and land. But get this, the house and land only needed $3,000 to be paid off, in full. It was written that once it was paid off it went to her, so his wife paid the remainder then had to move out! She was a very deceptive, evil person. She died of Covid less than 2 yrs after he did so she didn’t benefit from her evil ways but her family are. Her husband and 5 daughters have benefited from it.

6:23 I thought it was another commercial lol, you guys …. Skip does exist ❤

Well, I already see a problem. You've said that she wouldn't let the friends or family see her that way and she didn't have friends and family. So which one is it?

Why do these killers often show their hand by calling investigators numerous times claiming to be concerned?

You are a lot nicer to watch than the lore lodge.

Sometimes (more often than one would think), family members will steal the money. They will live with the person, take the money, then drop the elderly person at the hospital and leave them there. The hospital can't discharge unless family can care for the person and if they don't answer the phone, then the hospital is plain screwed.

I have 2 pairs of RX glasses. One pair in my purse and one on my desk or on me at home:)

Then why did Jessy’s mother (Jennifer), introduced her thief, criminal daughter to help Lynn, a vulnerable woman ?!😢, Yet she knew Lyn was an older vulnerable lady ? It came out that Jennifer was the one friends with Llynn, and that’s how Jessy started going to her !

Hallo i think you are making a great job , i wish and hope that you get more view and suggest to add some background tense music, and seggest simply watch other channel how they do it , because of your soft and nice character i suggest to watch the chapter , and read some books (one is enogh about story telling ) i realy hope all the best for u

She self snitched herself into life in prison.

If Jessy had power of attorney, could it be that Jessy had been answering or directing Lynn’s care?!!

How incredibly sad to not be able to find even one photo of lynn

I love you Rachel 💟

OMG! 🤦‍♀️The first whole 5 MINUTES is a sponsored ad! No thanks! 🙄

Rachel gtsy lovely 🌈🩷🩵💛 you really suit all glasses 🤓 true crime time ☕🕵️‍♂️🤔🧐 Thank you for all you do to bring awareness to these cases 🫶❤️

I love her glasses

Lovvve your fuchsia tresses.

Hey Rachel 🩷

How do these people believe that they are going to get away with it when they lie and change their story about a hundread times🙄

To finish up, she should get life, no parole. She befriended someone who was hurting inside and truly needed a friend, but instead got someone who took advantage of her loving kindness. Juries nowadays are not as tolerant of people who take advantage of those with disabilities. They will hopefully see her for what she really is, a cold hearted killer. May her family get justice and peace. Lynn will be remembered. I'm a fellow Wisconsinite.

the glasses are cute, but four minutes to promote them? can you make that shorter?

Perfect timing I'm about to take a nap. 💜🫶🏻💜🫶🏻 Thank you for staying consistent and bringing attention to these cases.

The ads at beginning made me atop....just being honest

Do the case of the bail bondsman from hannibal mo. It happened in the late nineties or early 2000s. It is WILD. I've got so much info on it. Or the Christina Whittaker case.

Hi Rachel 👀. Rip lynn

Crazy Case 😮😅

Hello everyone,🥰I've been going down the rabbit hole in this case from rewatching the entire trial to taking notes .😮 Trying to get into the mind of a murderer who chose visine eye drops as her choice of poison ? And I have learned that it's a very horrific way to kill someone.She claims that no one else came around to visit with Lynn Hernan,And after reviewing everything I can see clearly what J.K. did ?She isolated Lynn Hernan so no one would be suspicious?But little did J.K. know...Is that Lynn Hernan was loved by her close circle of "REAL" friends who got the ball rolling into it turned into a year-long investigation leading to her arrest to her conviction! There are so many vulnerable senior citizens who are being targeted today by family/friends.😔Sadly said that Lynn Hernan's could have been avoided! Jennifer Flowers placed her evil daughter in Lynn Hernan's life knowing that her daughter was a convicted thief felon!SMDH!😱
