Valkyrae Reacts To The Coldest Case Ever Solved (JCS Inspired) 

I don't really understand people commenting that the *streamer* could talk less.. If you didn't want her reaction, which is the whole point of this, then watch the original video

Im really enjoying the true crime meta, it feels like im learning watching a horror movie and a comedy all at once with a friend. Its great.

Imagine you are commiting a heinous crime, and you start with "Hi my name is Johnny!" And your name is ACTUALLY JOHNNY!

I didn't even need to gasp cause her gasp was perfect

This is so intriguing because either A. The mom did tell the sisters to tell the cops or B. The sister decided to take justice into her own hands

he may not be guilty of killing that girl, but he's still guilty of being a terrible human also its pretty sad that this case may never be solved due to him being put behind bars

the way i gasped SO LOUD when he said that he was innocent

I’d just like to say it is definitely possible to lie on a lie detector test. You just have to learn how to calm your heart and blood pressure along with your oxygen intake.

getting away with shit back in the day was actually a joke.

the FBI was doing gymnastics with timing like mans was the flash. Dude was still deffo creepy tho

That plot twist had me jaw dropping!! No doubt he was guilty of assault of his sisters and maybe others, so I am happy he is jailed - BUT WHO KILLED MARIA!!?!? And the family will probably never know... plus the fact the police ignored the timeline is just weirding me out.

i've known about this case since middle school, and i swear i haven't seen anyone covering it. i'm not the biggest fan of rae by any means (not because i dislike her, i just don't watch her at all) but i love that rae is giving this case more publicity.

"Justice doesn't have an expiration date." Sadly when it comes to certain crimes, such as rape, there is the statute of limitations.

This video is actually a very good lesson. You never actually know what's going on with an investigation, no matter how current, because you only ever get a tiny portion of the story from the media and others, even those who may be involved. It always amazes me how many people don't think about that and draw horrible conclusions based on a little bit of slanted, even warped, information.

I suspected his innocence when he became defensive, it was a gut feeling. I ignored my gut because of the narrative thread. I feel like this is a great example of why we shouldn’t make assumptions, and felt coaxed into believing he was guilty of the murder. For me, this was definitely a cautionary tale.

This man is like a teenager at school being anmoyed when a teacher asks him questions lol

"WHO ASKED?!" Has become my new favorite thing during these type of videos. Rae you are the best, don't ever change.

Respect to Lao. I mean obviously he didn't want to expose himself, but wow that was so frustrating.

Then ig this also kind of explains how he was confused about there being another girl playing with Marie when the abduction took place. He was like what girl everytime they talked about her.

Rae angrily liking is hilarious

ya know, elderly people can be stubborn as a mule, but he’s as stubborn as 100 mules and 3 donkeys having a bad day.

I’m sorry but when Valky said “that’s one foot through the door” I just imagined her kicking a foot through a physical closed door 😅😂

So the dude was literally in love with a kid, he had an alibi so that he couldn't have abducted her. but the way he talked about her, he had a thing for that kid.

I am officially addicted to these types of videos.

And remember kids, never talk to police without a lawyer. Literally do not say a word without a lawyer present.

he's still guilty for molesting his sisters but he's not guilty for this case, the real killer was still out there for those years and imagine the number of times detectives tunnel visioned and tried to frame someone who was actually innocent

45:47 did anyone else see the subtitles have a stroke saying “detective cecinski” 😂

The mom threw her son under the bus because she had guilt over something she wasn’t even sure off. This whole case is disturbing, useless detectives not cross referencing simple evidence, a man who molested his sisters but jailed for a separate incident then found innocent and exonerated. I hope those detectives got demoted, as for the man. Yuck, he may be innocent but he did something disgusting to his sisters.

Ah, the weird sisters. Janet waited 14 years until her father had died before going to the police with the story of the "confession" because she knew he would corroborate Jack's alibi. Isn't she a sweetheart? Mary, who heard the same "confession", didn't remember her mother saying much of anything, but, by golly, if Janet says it's true, then it must be true! Were the cops telling the truth? All they were trying to do was get Jack to sign a confession, and if they lied their asses off to do so, who cared? They would never be held accountable for having done so. David Zulawski provably lied. Brion Hanley provably lied under oath. Cloyd Steiger admitted that he deliberately lied to suspects. Mike Ciesynski admitted he wasn't concerned about telling the truth. The lawyer for Irene Lau, the lady who ran the polygraph machine, admitted that she lied under oath as a witness at Jack's tiral, and that the assistant state's prosecutor, Julie Trevarthen, had lied to the judge and the public defender about whether or not a video of the polygraph interrogation even existed. (Hint - the lawyer first found about it by finding it on RU-vid.) The judge was known by the name "Hanging Judge Hallock." Even the appellate court judge, in upholding the conviction, fabricated testimony from the witnesses. Ain't justice wonderful?

32:55 lmao Rae calling him an idiot for not knowing how to answer but then she says "it's obviously YES", which would mean she confessed to a crime

I was listening to this while driving and completely didnt realize until about halfway through that I live right next to sycamore...I know exactly where this happened...

Imagine caring about the brutal murder of a little girl so little that you dedicate dozens of hours of your life to convicting an innocent man instead of finding her killer.

It's a very logical question, "have you ever committed a crime that you have never been caught before?" If you answered YES, it could mean that you committed it and never been caught. And if you answered NO, It could also mean that No, i was never caught. Lmao. That's why he was so defensive with that question and keep on avoiding it coz he felt like he was cornered.

He didn’t cross his arms because he was uncomfortable it’s a defensive position

I was pissed on how the way he talked to the polygrapher 👁️👄👁️

Getting through this video was EXHAUSTING… I am thoroughly stressed.

That’s was a major plot twist at the end! Wow.

I want to see her watch lemino.

out of all the true crime reactions that rae has had recently, why did this story stress me out the most??

That video was so well made. The whole time she was clearly acting like she knew he was guilty, it's a good twist.

I think the sisters, who most likely told their mother what disturbing things happened in their home as they got older, wanted revenge for what he did, so they said he did it. I wouldn't be suprised if the girls thought he commited the crime, due to age, but wouldn't the mother know that her child didn't commit a serious crime. I'm just thinking that maybe the daughters telling the mother what happened later in the years, made them dislike Johnny for what he did to them, which is why she changed her answer later on, on her death bed When it got to the point in this story of the girls saying he wasnt home when the mother did, i immediately believed it. This is me just thinking honestly

My jaw DROPPED. Super well-produced segment.

The other little girl that was playing, why couldn't they have her look at the suspects and identify the man...?

I mean honestly his best alibi would have been "that was 50 years ago and I wasn't there so I don't actually remember much of anything"

"I knew Maria's parents! I played with their daughters!" "Did you play with Maria that day?" "What?! No! She was a child!"

Most disdain ever - Rae “Here’s your like” 😂🤣😂🤣

Her reactions are more dramatic than the actual video.

I don't understand why questions about him molesting his sister would be considered "control questions" sounds like bullshit but even the narrator is buying it. How could something so serious, emotionally charged, and actionable be a control question? Shouldn't a control question be something like "Do you drive a car?"

Could he have paid someone to make that call in his name as a cover up? Or was he visibly identified making the call

"Shut up, here's your like" is about how I felt about the video, too xD

To me it feels like he had an accomplice which is probably the guy he's throwing under the boss saying he was talking about sex, the accomplice abducted maria, Tessier sexually assaulted her since he was a sexual deviant attracted to young girls proven by molesting his sister and being weird around his neighborhood, accomplice killed her and hid the body, that's why on the lie detector he was speaking truth when asked did you kill maria. Also, he didn't want to be asked personal questions because he probably didn't want to be asked anything related to his missing daughter which he's most likely the culprit. A mother would never lie and say on her death bed 40 years later oh yeah that girl, it's totally john that did it if she wasnt 100% sure of it

It makes me sad, how far even the most qualified people will go to fit their own narrative

Anybody else notice the original video uploaded April 1st, and thought it was going to be a joke video?

I think that you can’t move in a polygraph test because any disruption will fuck up the test

Watching(listening) in silence and then Valkyrae talks me: ei forgot you were here, LOL

This case first time i saw it open my eyes to not jump to conclusion.

What if it wasn't John that make the collect call but someone else for him and the neighbors didn't see him or notice it was him. Idk

This video (by Matt Orchard) is literally my favorite RU-vid video. Love seeing people react to this!

I hate the fact that he lived a long life

How she was acting is a perfect example of mob justice behavior influenced by confirmation bias. Pretty sad because this is how TOO MANY innocent men get locked up.

when he talks about the grade school he lived near towards the start of the video, you'd be surprised at how valuable that information is in context with the other evidence they have. MAPs (I'm using MAP as an acronym bc pedophilia is a broad spectrum ranging in ages) will often live near schools, daycares and afterschool program places to be closer to their favoured age range to make themselves feel more comfortable.

john: "it is none of your business, it has nothing to do with maria" in video CC: music

I love that i dont have to whatch these alone anymore :D

Dude, the fact that his mom LIED about him being home the entire time even though he had a valid alibi is hella sus it's like she knew something... Like maybe the fact that he was molesting his sisters...

I feel like he seemed innocent for the entire interrogation.... I guess I wasn't seeing what everyone else was seeing.

Love these! ❤️❤️❤️

Valk needs to understand the reason he says IDK is not just cause he tryna hide lies but even if we was tryna be truthful.. it was 50 whole ass years

Not going to lie it’s reeeeeally hard to believe he’s innocent.

not me trying to turn off the captions and realizing its embedded in the video kzjsbaskf

"He got away with it for so long" - Rae "He won't when he's in prison" - Me

I was just thinking right before the end, it doesn’t actually seem like there’s enough evidence to have convinced this guy.

I'm glad he took the taste test.

*it’s sad that the only person who actually knows who killed maria is maria and her killer.*

So basically his sisters orchestrated this whole thing, lying about their mother saying that huh. Its quite obvious his mom would not have said that because his father and mother would clearly be in the know about WHY he is innocent more than their two young daughters who probably didnt even know what was happening back then.

He said he was at the induction center but the mom said he was home all day

This video needs to show twitch chat

bro knowing that such horrid people live in the same city as you is actually terrifying 😭

I was watching this all the way through, thinking he'd done it, however he shouldn't have been convicted because all of the evidence was circumstantial. I'm surprised to see he was innocent but still this was a complete failure of justice and it was ridiculous he was convicted.

When they said “Johnny” I screamed “ HERES JOHNNY”

They way he interrupted is a clear sign of a guilty Conscience bc I would do that when I would still cookies from the cookie jar when I was younger. My late father would do that when he would fight with my mom about money. It helps stop the point of the conversation

“What is 3+3-2” This dude for some reason “1”

he may be totally innocent of that crime, but i need to know how they confirmed it was him that made the phone call, as opposed to a partner-in-crime who shared the information with him after the fact/helped him get an alibi. it might be a stretch, but i am curious if they ruled that out as an impossibility

imagine finding out your dad/grandpa kidnapped and killed someone before you were born 😳

ok so i’m probably the only person that thought “this dude seems innocent” only about the murder tho but for some reason i just saw him and just thought nope i don’t think he killed Maria even through all the evidence.

while i understand the message that the video was trying to give, it feels like the equivalent of your long time doctor telling you that you have lung cancer, continuing on about the possible symptoms, treatments, and measures that you can take for the next hour, and then right before you walk out of the office, the doctor laughs and goes, "April Fools! Man, I really got you. You really just believed the diagnosis of a doctor? What a fool!" i watch these true crime videos to learn about a situation that I would otherwise have no interest in researching. I want to look at a channel like this, see the positive reception, and think "Cool, someone that knows more about this stuff than I do. Time to listen in to some interesting cases." and not "Cool, someone who thinks he knows more than I do. I'm going to personally scrutinize and research every stated sentence to ensure that this video is 100% accurate."

Valkyrae, you're awesome! I love it when you say "we didn't ask that" or so many of your other funny comments, like how you want to punch that person and so on. Love your reactions. I feel the same way.

Craziest plot twist when they said bro was innocent

I was having a feeling that this guy was not a murderer but i was not sure why. did this happen to anyone else?

55:46 it looks like Rae is the judge from where her camera and the table is

You have to take everything the criminals say with a grain of salt. They could be lying or they could be telling the truth. I do like how the narrator simplifies things or explains other things. Another thing is that I never fully judge them until the end of the video.

23:21 pretty much sums up watching a video of somone watching a video

loners: "Rae despises Johnny for no reason." Rae: "johnny makes bad things to her step-siblings" sigma males: "nah, you are just covering yourself from your mistake."

33:15 the thing he is asking is this, he doesnt get what does yes mean because it would mean *Yes i have,* or *Yes i havent* thinking that they are trying to trap him to confess to something. No one seemed to get it though.

okay but maybe he called his friend so that his freind would kidnap her and Idk maybe they should investigate the guy he called

A phone call really saved his life

idk i still feel like he is still somehow involved. like he had a partner. the partner could’ve just used his name & the call could’ve been made so it can be like a distraction & a good alibi. like what a coincidence that they used johns name & used something that he had already done to another girl to maria. he also remembered specifically what maria looked like after so many years but couldn’t remember if he took the train or not. he did mention about the other weird kid & when the detective asked how he knew he was weird, he didn’t know how to answer so it could be that he actually knew him & that was his partner.

it speaks volumes that before it was even confirmed he was the killer and is actually innocent of this crime, she already judged him as such. I just wonder how many of her chat also just rode the bandwagon and condemned a man for a crime he didn't do just because it was told through a lens that was crafted to do so. The man should've been trailed for the harassments on his sister's and such but, this proves it, jail time for crime done is irrelevant if you can spin it the right way.

So his mom really lied abt it and he was telling the truth “My mom loved me and would never say that”. Jokes on him his mum lied abt him

Rae mentioning Boze... That's a crossover episode I need to see! 💕🙏🏼

He may be innocent in the eyes of the law but he's certainly isn't in the eyes of the people.
