The Coldest Case Ever Solved

No exaggeration, I think this is a top 100 youtube video. Of all time. In particular because of the point it makes and how it ought to be applied to everything else one ever will watch after having watched this.

Fantastic video mate.

I hear you, but the alibi is the very first thing I honed in on before starting this project because I needed to know if I could do this the way I had in mind and I'm telling you there's no way he could have been there. I had to make the explanation as brief as possible to achieve the effect I was going for but there's even more that further solidifies it. User error can totally happen and even does in this case - the operator put in the name "TAssier" . But the phone number is linked to precisely where it came from and (this part didn't make it in to the video) he met with military officers in that post office building that phone booth was located within 15 minutes of finishing that call. He was at that location. You're preaching to the choir on the fallibility of memories but when the dads memory is linked to the show he was watching that's confirmed to air at the time he's placing the event AND other family members and neighbors are corroborating that rough time with their recollections of when they saw Maria playing/come in to the house...it's too much to draw up to the imperfection of memory. Bear in mind I was already being deliberately generous with "After 6 30" - that's a full 15 minutes extra allowance than what the FBI established as her earliest time of abduction based on their multiple contemporaneous interviews of family and neighbors. But even if you gave them 6 20 - it still doesn't matter given the location of the phone booth. Even if you gave them 6 20 and took away the location of the phone booth it would be a reaaaaaach. But I stand by the assertion there's absolutely no reason to give them either - double extra especially the phone booth :)

I was not happy to be wide awake for no reason at 5am today, but seeing your video there made it so worth it. Great video Matt, thank you for your content. ♥️

This is, by a wide margin, the most infuriating interrogation I’ve ever watched. I wish someone could’ve just slapped some duct tape over his mouth so he would stop interrupting every single thing the detectives say

Great job, as always. I personally do not think he can be 100% exonerated The evidence being cited is not THAT solid and subject to MUCH human error back in 1957 (example we dont have the actual telephone records, and the manager could have mad a mistake via a simple typo on old typwriter. Maria's father could have mis-remembered the TV show and timing, etc and confused it with a different memory. This happens all the time) So I disagree with "there is NO way he could have done it". There are simply too many unanswered questions and that little bit isn't convincing enough. The only certain thing is that is still unsolved and he was freed in the eyes of the law. Very skeptical and I wonder who else was considered as a suspect?
