Ah yes, the ole "I drank too much and slipped and fell in the shower, sustaining brutal lacerations to my vagina before having a heart attack" story. Happens to the best of us. The investigators in these stories never cease to amaze me with their incompetence.

State: "He's a serial rapist and occasional murderer" Judge: "3 years, anything more would be unfair"

Elderly woman lying dead slumped over the side of her bathtub with her face in the water, naked, clothes bunched up around her ankle, bruises on her body, laceration on her genitals proving rape, and a mysterious pistol in her living room. Investigators: "Clearly a tragic accident. Nothing suspicious here."

I’m a 70 year old woman. I was at lunch with friends today and we were talking about how the elderly are invisible to others around us. Obviously not really invisible but others don’t notice the elderly like they do people under 60. I think that explains why the police didn’t even realize patterns that existed and the thought of sex crimes didn’t enter their minds. It’s too easy with elders to jump to natural causes and close the case. What I find strange in life is how averse so many people are to having an autopsy done on a loved one. Even if foul play isn’t suspected, unless the person has a serious condition, I would WANT an autopsy done just so I’d know for sure and not wonder.

Police: "Jimmy, we know you've broken into several elderly women's homes in the middle of the night, demanded they take off their clothes and even robbed several of them. Don't ever do it again." Jimmy: "Ok. I won't." Police: "Case closed."

As a child of the 1970s, it’s crazy learning about the things that went on in the world around me while I was reading 25 cent comic books and watching Saturday morning cartoons

The fact that Jimmy is smiling so big, I mean he is cheesing in his jail photo, makes him all the more creepier and evil.

This never dying myth that Ted Bundy was super intelligent keeps on rolling.

Jimmy's lawyer, the one who absurdly claimed that "no grandson would be capable of carrying out such a brutal attack against his own blood," has the blood of Jimmy's future victims on his hands. Same goes for that ignorant jury.

My grandpa met Bundy while he was trying to convince a woman to follow him somewhere secluded. That monster probably failed at least a few times, and there are probably women out there who never recognized that they got away from a serial killer because they didn’t make the connection to him being caught potentially years after meeting him. Imagine that? What are the odds you’ve met a serial killer? I’m curious.

How horrific! I tell my husband all the time that rape is about power, not just sexual attraction. I can't believe that stepmom let that monster get away.

I lived right there, walked down those same streets, went to appointments at that hospital, at the time and didn't even know about his crimes until watching this video. He really did fly under the radar...

Truly the best at finding unknown yet disturbing cases

This story pissed me off, smh they gave this creep way too many chances after he hurted elderly women 😪

This is totally aside from the terrible case but the fact that he and his wife were able to save a deposit on a home in a couple of months really shows how times have changed! Edit. It has been 7 months since I made this comment. 7 months and I'm still getting replies where people assume I'm some homeless Gen z degenerate crying that I can't afford a house. Stop making assumptions about a comment that is nothing more than an observation on how times have changed. And no, it isn't the ONLY thing I took away from this video.

after being quite depressed and having no motivation to do anything, your post made me play this in the background while i do some chores ☺️ YOU are a great man!

I really wasn't ready for this. This is proof that some people are just born bad.

I am in stunned shock when I hear families just brushing off abuse (I use this word only for KZfaq. The word I want to use isn't allowed here😡) To know that a close family member is committing the absolute worst of crimes and telling the victim to "get over it" is despicable

Unbelievable how incompetent the police and court system were. They should be ashamed.

It's insane how easily he legally turned himself into a brand new person!

The best part of insomnia is I'm always awake for a new this is monsters

As someone from Oregon who's into criminology videos, I'm amazed I've never heard of this guy.

This is the second upload from *This Is Monsters* in less than a week. All your hard work and dedication to bring us the best is very much appreciated. Thank you ..❣️..from Australia 🦘🇦🇺

Some people manage to get away with almost anything.

My grandfather was in the newspaper as a kid because, when his middle school was ordered to desegregate, a bunch of boys in his class said they were going to wait outside that next morning so they could stop the black kids from coming in. My grandfather overheard this and told them he was going to beat the shit out of anyone trying to stop black kids from coming into the school. At first, they thought he was joking and laughed, but he was the first one at school the next morning and he stared down each of those boys as they quietly entered without trying anything. His was the only school in the city that didn't have an issue that morning. When I first saw the article about all this he had framed from childhood, I asked my grandfather if his dad had voted for desegregation and he said, "Of course not. But that's how the vote went. That was the law now and I wasn't about to let those assholes embarrass us."

That episode, I found super disturbing, more than most it seems. Good job.

Just had my own personal alarm button set up 🙏🏻 Rest in Power to these poor ladies 💔

"It was during this incarceration that Jimmy's story took the darkest turn." Darker than what he did to his Grandma? Must be because there are 23ish minutes left in the ep 😭

It's so hard to listen to these stories I just it's heartbreaking how nobody gave a flip and fridge about these ladies being found dead everywhere around him. It's just so sad this world breaks my heart.

It’s almost unbelievable… how many more cases could exist, in which the police, victims and other factors contributed to such escalation and perpetuation of the multiple crimes of a given perpetrator 👀

Surprises and disappoints me it took police so long to link sexual attacks on the elderly. Appears they couldn’t connect brain cells. If my job depended on life & death of who knows how many, many in his case, I know I would do better. Took a jailhouse snitch, smh. This was one I’d never heard of. Appreciate Monsters

So good. So good! You tell a disgusting story so well it's not too difficult to listen to. I'm in my 70's. Although I hated most of the story line, it was a good reminder not to trust anyone too much. Even relatives. Thanks for the gr8 job of gathering and presenting the info. You rank superior ok

Good Morning, Jiles and Fellow Monsterers! I hope you all have a wonderful day! 💖

As a mother it is very hard to see your child begin to change in a negative way. Especially when you've been the best parent that you know how to be. I don't know what to say about this guy though. Jimmy was off the chain ⛓️!

Being born in Hillsboro, where three of his victims were and living there at the time of his attacks, is totally insane. I can’t even imagine a monster like this living among the shadows and my family potentially crossing paths with him.

The dude worked with a friend of mine at his Dad's cabinet shop when he was arrested. The arresting detective was Scott Ryon who's son I grew up with.

When you said he got a job in a nursing home I literally yelled out “oh my god!”

It's crazy how Bundy helped a serial killer and also helped find a serial killer

This is one case I've never heard of. Thanks for covering it. This animal was truly a monster 👹 .

This story is frustrating on so many levels due to things like his father not all him to receive mental support in addition to his stepmother not reporting the crime. I can understand wanting to move on from such a traumatic experience, but did it never occur to her that she was more than likely not his only victim? It seems to me that having lived with the man for many years and knowing the progression of his crimes that she could have foreseen some unfortunate happenings in the future. I certainly don’t blame her for his actions as it was clearly his responsibility, but who knows what could have been prevented if she had reported it. That being said I feel for all the victims of his horrendous behavior and wish them and families of the victims nothing but relief from the trauma they have all experienced. Great video as usual!

When I meet with a Veteran or a current member of the armed forces, I give them my gratitude for their service and sacrifice. It’s chilling to think of showing him respect for his service. 🇺🇸

So once again the police/justice system is useless. An absolute monster.

I have been obsessed w tru crime since 11 rys old when staying w my grandma I ran out of books to read and started reading my grandma's Tru crime books by true crime author ann rule. I'm subribed to several Tru crime channels and it gets to the point where iv already heard the cases but this channel cover cases iv never heard about. I love how the cases r covered and I also love at the end there is a hotline for people in domestic violence situations. Ease keep up the phenomenal work this is absolutely one of my favorite channels and am always so excited when a new case pops up!

3:00 I'm surprised the narrator dismisses the potential effects on a child of effectively losing their mother at a young age. Generally speaking, your mother is your world and your identity, your sense of self inextricably linked with hers to the age of around seven. Just because another female caregiver (stepmom) moved into the family home and took over that role, doesn't mean the children escaped profound trauma or potential psychological damage from their mother's abandonment. Not saying that explains him becoming a serial killer as an adult, just pointing out childhood parental abandonment is pretty much universally recognised to be devastating and deeply traumatic, whatever the circumstances!

Why are the police always the greatest accomplices of these monsters???

Thank you Jiles for making this work morning go by much easier listening to your narration helps me and the time fly by. Enjoy the rest of your day Great video as per usual 👏

It's really interesting how so many killers die young on death row. I feel like it just almost has to do with just giving up on life

Damn this is one crazy story. I've never heard of this sicko...my God

Geez, I love your show!! Thank you so much for all the hard and ikky work you have to do to produce these amazing videos!! Best channel ever! 😊

There is a common thread in his killings. He only chose old or late middle age ladies to murder, so he had his own thing. His murders were similar, and it should've been recognized by the police. Also, by no means I wanna come up with excuses for him (ugh...🤢🤮), a primary caregiver's abrupt loss in the early years of childhood is in fact a very significant life event. The way this guy turned out by his early teenage years most likely was the exact consequence of his blood mother's sudden disappearance from his life. It imprinted and transformed into a violent, attention-seeking behavior when the hormones kicked in. Also, his choice of his victims is of great importance (I'd given it a thought or two if I'd have covered this case...) He was attracted to elderly women most possibly because they meant "mothers" to him. Vulnerable women whom he "punished" AND - in a very twisted way - tried to get some "love" from them. The most telling thing is him telling his stepmother that he "had wanted to do this for a long time." Obviously he *meant it*. His severe mother issues are apparent, and I have no idea how his mom's abruptly exiting the family was handled by his father. Mind you, NONE of these things alone turn anyone into a raging murderer, but can ignite one's pre-existing horrible character traits. ( I'm a trained behavioral therapist, but I only make guesses here just like anyone else. On the other hand, I'm not figuring out something oh so mysterious, because all the above can be absolutely legit and sensible.)

This guy makes monsters seem like child's play. I can't even wrap my mind around how beyond evil he is, and how unjust our justice system actually is. Unbelieveable.

Thank You so much for giving us this many stories, as soon as notifications come I am here and of course you're the best narrator on KZfaq.

The FBI BSU would profile him by the crime scenes as a "disorganised" serial murderer. (Though, by carrying a weapon he also has "organised" traits) Approximately 1/3 of stranger killings are by "disorganised" offenders. I'd be interested to know his height and weight. Typically those who choose the elderly as victims are slightly built and choose victims that they can easily control. (Being he seemed to be an opportunistic killer without regard for consequence ie; leaving fingerprints, attacking victims who could identify him, etc; that would also place him in the "disorganised" category).

I've researched a lot of these monsters, and this guy is easily top 5 most evil.

Reading the comments, you really did a disservice on this one. I'm not sure if it is due to lack of research or just inability to find adequate detailed info; but there are a massive amount of facts which would have put much of this into context so people didn't get the wrong idea. Unfortunately, b/c my wife was one of his victims, I'm far too familiar w/ this pos. I'm also not sure why you chose to not name the victim B.W. in the bathroom-which I won't name at this point in case you have a valid reason or request from her son/etc. The most important point which really needed to be said was that Barone was quite familiar w/ each of his victims w/ the exception of Chantee who was well known to Lenny. 2ndly, he had been on the Police Radar since Martha's murder, but due to the lack of direct evidence/witnesses/etc. there was little more the Hillsboro Police/DA could do but try to keep a 'non harassing' eye on him-defense lawyers can have that idiotic 'Constitutional' effect benefiting these scumbags & making the Law's job much more difficult-& continue investigating for more evidence. That murder would have been put far better in context had you tied in your subsequent comment regarding his loss of job having been direct related to the actions & role which Martha played in his termination; the fact of which is WHY he was on the Police Radar. 3rdly, his childhood was not quite as idyllic as you portrayed & his familial interaction between stepmother & grandmother, especially!, played a major role in his hatred for older &, again especially, elderly women. Even tho he was charming & not bad looking he had a terrible time maintaining any age appropriate relationship due to a severe inferiority complex & feeling intimidated by any attractive woman; so he tended to 'talk himself up' to the point that w/in a short period the charm wore off & the creepiness loomed front & center. Anyway, just wanted to add some facts which might put some of this in a little better context PLUS far too often the name of these serial killers takes on a prominence while the names of the victims are forgotten & I really believe that is backasswards & unless you have a specific reason for not mentioning B.W.'s name, my wife truly believes that out of respect for her it should become a part of any record into which his heinous acts are detailed/explored & far too frequently this is not the case b/c of her death being ruled a 'heart attack' even tho it was a direct result of the assault & therefore she's relegated to a footnote status-which was the sole reason my wife participated in the ID Documentary on him. She was a marvelous lady, kind & accepting to all & even on that night she had opened her home & shared some 'liquid courage' w/ him & was lending the emotional support which he decried when he came knocking on her door.

I've saved up your videos the last few weeks as I'm now recovering from a full knee replacement. Thank you J fir all your hard work.

Whenever “This is Monsters” notifies me, I am both “excited/happy” (sorry, none of these words seem appropriate but you all know what I mean) and horrified because I realize it is 3am (where I live) and will now only get a couple hours sleep before my twins wake me up!! #sleepISsoOVERrated 😉🤣

That poor step-mom and sister have some blood on their hands, unfortunately.

This is a perfect example of why we need the death penalty. One of the aggravating factors that makes one eligible for the death penalty is that they are still a danger to society. Ted Bundy: he gave advice to this man about how he hid his crimes and served as an inspiration for another monster.

Thank you for all the work you do to be so detailed!!! It really shows!

Very sad. The system failed those women. A lot of that could have been preventable .

Definitely always have the best timing ever of posting videos! Was about to head to to bed but got this notification and now I have to check out this Gem! Love hearing the song as well.. “ THIS IS MONSTERS “

Yours is the only channel I'll give a like to before viewing. And you never disappoint.

Hey Giles!! I love Thursday mornings! You, southern girl crime stories make it very nice to wake up to. Your voice is so soothing to me lol. These terrible monsters you tell us about and I'm soothed?? Crazy! I love this channel, all your followers do! Thank you for your time and work on these videos!!

#ThisIsMonsters This man did a slow army crawl towards her to touch her leg. What in the hell, lmao.

Your videos are always top notch. I watch so many and subscribed to so many channels similar in the last 5 years but yours are always the best straight down the line, consistent and truly well told

I truly love you're channel. I listen to your old ones when I go to bed. I try to wait patiently for your new investigation.

He attacked and sexually assaulted his own step mother...the woman who raised him from boyhood. Absolutely disgusting this demonic lethal killer and SA d defenceless women is beyond saving or redemption by our legal system or any religious organization.

This is monsters and Disturban 👁👄👁 That’s my guilty pleasure

Love this channel ❤️ keep up great content

Literally my favorite KZfaq channel

Sick, very disturbing story! Evil Monster! Horrible. I can't even think of words for this one where it's horrible. This is stuff nightmares are made of!!

Unreal.......Why old women? He was a true monster. I am otherwise speechless. Thanks Jiles, great presentation of this story as always.

I still can’t believe how easy it is to get into someone’s house just simply knock on the door and you’re in.

Jimmy’s lawyer convinced a jury he was not capable of harming his own grandmother… whose Jimmy’s lawyer…. Saul Goodman?

His first original name was ADOLPH??? Well, theres a reason why no one names their kids that anymore. Jeeze. What foreshadowing. In all seriousness, it happens that some are born bad. Its not common but it happens. Some people have every reason in the world to grow up to be monsters, but don’t. They turn their pain into being the opposite, to being good humans. And some have little emotional upheaval but decide being evil is much more fun, & to go against societal norms feels too exciting to resist.

People forget that rape is about power and control over their victims not about looks.

You gotta be kidding me. This is one of the worst ones I've seen. Dude was absolutely insane....smh. I just stay away from people

Thank you, these fiends are monsters but I want to tell you how much I enjoy your sarcasm, it's wonderful, it's a very hard subject but you do a marvelous job. More sarcasm please !!! GOD Bless you & all your viewers.😄

Guess I'm staying up for another 35 minutes. Although your voice is very pleasant I can also fall asleep to it.

I never get tired of these

Idk how you do it. But you’re truly one of the best true crime channels of all time. ❤

Thank you for calling it the legal driving limit and not the legal limit. Really grinds my gears when people say legal limit when they are not behind a vehicle

Lately I have come to the conclusion that not all of humanity has a soul. I think some have a demon inside instead. I don’t know how or why it happens to some, but there’s no way some people can do such heinous crimes with a soul from God in them.

Love your work so much

Found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have binge watched your videos one after another .its beome part of my routine and your voice is reassuringly familiar to me now. Can't believe you haven't got many many more subscribers. You've become my favourite crime channel and think your videos are just the right length and so well put together. You can tell that you put so much research and work into each case .where as other content creator's have nothing new to add to well known cases .yet all your photos and videos are original to you . I look foward to many more years and many more cases . Its just sad for the victims that new storys will always continue to keep been written as murder never takes a day off

So the step mom could have stopped this and decided to just put it behind her?! What the actual f*ck!? And then his grandmother? And still got away with it?!?! Damn dude..

Awesome something to listen to whilst working!

Thank you for yet another well researched, brilliantly edited, and super interesting video. You never disappoint and the hard work put into your videos really shines through. #StayEpic #NeverStøp

I hadn't heard this one and I was stationed at Fort Lewis, now JBLM, for a long time. This is nuts.

So glad to get a new video today! Thanks

Excellent content!!!

Yay! Just the notification I was hoping for. This, is Monsters...

O.K , out of all of your videos, this one creeped me out the most. Couldn't finish it.

Wow this is insane the opportunity lost to save so many lives is disturbing ! There is no excuse for this guy to have been free to harm so many! Thanks for giving this story! Great job!

Love your channel! They are the only good thing about Mondays!

Love the channel. Cheers 🇨🇦🍁

Excellent narration. Very informative. Many thanks.

Died of cancer......got off light ........... One of the best crime videos

This dude should have been caught the first time wow horrible police work
