REUPLOAD DUE TO DEMONETIZATION … again 🙃
August, 19, 1967, two years before I was born. This tragedy is horrible. My heart goes out to Phyllis, ( my mom's name) I pray she got the help she needed.
Nice to see some Saskatchewan true crime.
I'm glad victors dead.
If the devil tells you to do something, just say no.
Watched again😊
the the real-life dexter origin story… damn…
Good work i look forward to future videos
I was 14 when this happened, living just south of Shell Lake with my family of 7. I remembered it just like it is reported here. I had an uncle who was schizophrenic after WW11 and was staying with us, off and on. My sisters and I were concerned for our safety. My mother and grandmother thought he was harmless. We weren't sure???
Thank you 👍😊❤
Extremely sad, sad story😢😢
It seems like y'all have been demonetized a lot lately. Any idea what the issue is?
Butting in to say Electro Shock Therapy is still very much in use and can be MIRACULOUS to some mental illness sufferers. The patient is fully sedated before a current is passed through a targeted area of the brain. Please don't discount a treatment because it has been abused in the past.
Well told!
It's ridiculous that you had to reupload this video. YouTube has some really stupid rules. All the same, it's another great episode. I believe that the lone survivor escaped because Victor failed to notice her. Someone like Victor should have never been allowed out of a psychiatric hospital without a full and proper assessment that he was no longer a threat to society. Cases like his are far too common.
Heartbreaking case. Thanks for presenting it so well.
I wonder if there has actually been a murder suicide where the weapon did go missing.
Such a beauiful family I think there is no cure for that boy you can only lock him up he was born like it he was wired up wrong a sad true life story glad the lady survived and can go on in her life and be 😁 a brave lady
To a paranoid schizophrenic, the devil does indeed make them do it. Their hallucinations completely overtake and override any will and reasoning of their own. No remorse is not applicable to a schizophrenic. They are not in their right mind. They are the legal definition of insane.
The (old) intro music with the guitar is better.
Victor Ernest Hoffman suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. He was what you call medication resistant schizophrenia. Because decades after, he was still hearing voices and seeing monsters. Poor family and poor guy. May they all be in God's glory.
shot 11 times. Geez Louise! (that's rural Canadian for holy fawk!) He must've been an absolute beast on the battlefield.
Thanks for another great video!
Cancer was too good for him!!
Or maybe he did really hear the Devil and didn't know how to fight him.
This horrific tragedy could have been prevented which makes it even sadder professional treatment of mental health patients needs to be improved and most if not all need to be monitored and not discharged from treatment
Very sad. I do enjoy hearing the older cases and the cases from other countries. Thank you for all the research, time, and dedication you put into the stories you tell. 💜🦌
At the beginning of this video it stated the Peterson's had 7 children, however, the photo shows 9 children.
Can we have the old music back
