I'm a retired police officer. I worked Inna city of Pasco county. I remember this case. I later met Lisa while I was in a multi agency cooperative program . Hillsborough county SO is lucky to have her. She is an amazing woman..

"Lisa" is a hero. ( or heroine I suppose). For a 17 yr old to have the wherewithal to remember all the info, keep her cool, and have the bravery to help the investigators. Just awesome. You're the best Lisa!!!

I love how it opened with Jim pretending to read a case file. This man is gold

Here after watching netflix's Believe Me: The abduction of Lisa Mcvey. What an amazing, strong and brave young lady, now a sheriff protecting children from similar crimes. An inspiration beyond any other!

Lisa is a brave girl. Proud of you for coming out of this and able to make this stand. Be strong wherever you are !

Lisa. the girl he let go, is now a Hillsborough Deputy Sheriff.

"The killer crossed racial lines" He actually crossed racial lines long before the 18 year old girl. He murdered an asian woman as one of his first victims.

When there is so much evidence, a confession, a conviction, why should Long be on death row for 30 years?

Great series and narration.

I used to be against the death penalty - I take that back.

8:05. Thank God for science and technology. May all those working behind the scenes be blessed for their intelligence.🙏

I feel sorry for the victims and the officers who had to investigate these atrocities 😓

You want to know what's disturbing about Lisa being kidnapped - Her previous experience conditioned her to be submissive and not lash out and that's what saved her. The other victims i think fought back and that's why he killed them. Very smart woman finding out all those details and to watch him executed may have bought some peace.

The deceased victim was still warm. That really got me, how hard she fought & how close she came to getting help. Heartbreaking. 💔 In the 80s, when I was 16, I was hitchhiking & DeBardeleben picked me up in Norfolk, Virginia. I told him I was going to see my boyfriend. He had automatic door locks (rare in the 80s except for cop cars) & a cb radio in his car. He said he was an undercover cop which even as a kid, I knew that was bull 💩 because cops don't tell you they're undercover, so I was immediately ill at ease. He kept touching my legs asking if my boyfriend does that & asked me why I wasn't in school. I felt frightened AF & wanted to get the hell out of the car, but the lock covers were stripped off of the locks & I would've needed needle nose pliers to unlock the door. Fortunately there was a 2 vehicle accident blocking our entrance to a bridge & cops were at the scene. He popped the locks & told me, "Today's your lucky day." The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Years later as a young Air Force wife & mother stationed overseas, I saw him featured on America's Most Wanted on the Armed Forces Network (AFN, a military tv channel). Initially he was only wanted for counterfeiting & was nicknamed "The Mall Passers becausehe would go to shopping centers passing his counterfeit bills mostly 20s on socks to get change in real bills. In a storage unit in Virginia, they found a counterfeiting machine/paraphernalia & recordings of women being tortured & murdered. They also found women's clothing, jewelry & various forms of id. Some of these women were found alive & they shared their horror stories with law enforcement as did I after he was captured. He was passing off counterfeit bills to fund his sexual deviance. I'm relieved that he's dead & that I was unscathed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_DeBardeleben

I hear he was executed in 2019. Which is shocking when u consider most of the girls he killed were only early 20s, some 18 and lisa only 17. But he was allowed to live about an extra 30 years him before executed.

If he hadn’t spare the life of that woman, this man would have never be captured! Scary!

2019 he was executed and im glad Lisa was there to see him die.

Many thanks to all law enforcement and forensic experts for their commitment to justice!

20:37 I believe Lisa McVey managed to have it, where the guy believed she cared about him and that saved her life. 30:15 Amazing woman, she stayed during the whole thing and collected information where they could catch the guy. She saved lives. 31:55 This woman looks like she's been abused from day one.36:15 Amazing investigative work. 47:33 A word of warning to women. If you put an ad in the paper or the internet to sell furniture or your car or whatever, (Press Read more) when potential buyers call up because they're interested -have a man answer the phone. Long was was executed by lethal injection on May 23, 2019

Long was executed in May 2019.

Prayers from Malaysia to all the FRONTLINERS WORLDWIDE! You are our heroes and heroines! THANK YOU! May God continue to protect all of us.🙏

Took way too long to execute him

Bobby Joe Long was executed in May, 2019. Lisa McVey attended the execution, wearing a shirt that read "Long Overdue"

Man that's y I adore the FBI and forensics science thumbs up to DNA

He was executed at the age of 65 in 2019. His last meal was roast beef, french fries, and bacon.

What was his reasoning for letting Lisa go? I found that to be interesting. Remarkable, brave woman. Glad she got away from that vile monster

I saw this case on Forensic Files. That woman was amazing

If he hadn't let Lisa go, he may have never been caught. She is a hero and it seems, pretty much took him down herself with some forensic help from the police!

On April 23, 2019, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed Long's death warrant, this being the first death warrant signed by DeSantis since he took office in January 2019. Long's subsequent appeals were denied and he was executed by lethal injection on May 23, 2019. He ate his final meal at 9:30am local time; he requested roast beef, bacon, french fries and soda. He was pronounced dead at 6:55pm and made no last statement.

NEVER take a polygraph!! Innocent or guilty it can never help you. If you 'fail' you are the prime suspect. If you 'pass'...well it won't mean a thing, if they suspect you they'll say you practiced for it. At this point you should have a lawyer.

I grew up in Miami in the 1970's and 1980's. As a kid me and my friends used to do the same thing in a field close to our house. Make parachutes out of plastic bags for our GI Joe action figures. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks for all the hard work of all the enforcement and forensic experts catching this evil cruel criminal. Massive respect to lisa, what a brave woman !!!

Oh!what a man,Jim Calstrom, the presentation is the benchmark by all standards.

These people are insane and should never be set free from prison

Lisa was amazing to help catch Bobby.

It's cases like these that makes me wonder how many bodies are out there yet to be discovered around the world :( Too many to count l imagine. Hello all from Austarlia These ladies had a hard life, but had an unimaginable ending. Thank you all LE and FBI who help solve these heinous crimes.

This is just insane how many people's lives one serial killer can take. Maybe at some point he stopped confessing because he realized that he's incriminated himself too much. There could be even more victims.

Love this show!! Awesome out together in cheap film making

Very interesting series!

He's been on death row for 35 years???!!!??!!! . . . Well better late than never. 😬😡😤😧

I can't believe the spent quality time in real life and on this video about carpet fibers and waited to " any Sunday " to be called back to a scene

I wasn't prepared for such case.

Man the commentary is amazing

Why didnt they just stake out the Tampa red light district for weeks looking for the car with the reversed tires & tire types? Seems like they could have saved some lives and prevented many rapes if they would have done that.

Finally last year our Governor had him stop breathing our air

Things i learned watching the FBI Files Back in the 80s and Early 90s they relied on the lie detector test

Thanks I appreciate it

Great job Jim

7:04 "It was trilobal, or triangular in shape" Everyone out there playing the drinking game, you know what to do.

What is with 1984 and serial killers?!?

I'm quite surprised that the Dodge Magnum was considered to be a "medium sized car", it looks huge. What was thought of as a large car in the US in those days?

Good episode.

Lisa & forensic science was KEY to catching this monster!!

Oh.. good to see Jim sitting behind the desk! No Weeble Wobble awkward shuffle this episode! 😂

It's quite ironic that the one time he showed mercy ended up being his downfall

Bobby was executed in May of 2019.

6:46 mr analyzer needs a hair net.

I love this series wish it was still going, and the musical director did out standing as well. I love the musical scores!

For all the anti death penalty advocates out there who say the death penalty doesn’t deter, this story is a prime example of why it doesn’t. Specimens like this creature will kill even if they believe they will get caught and knowing they’ll get the death sentence if they do. They just don’t care about life, theirs or anyone else’s, and if the death penalty isn’t going to deter them, what chance even multiple life sentences would?

All those people around and no one saw the guy grab the girl on the bike???

This is an interesting series, thank you for sharing. Only one comment! too many adverts: haha

British citizen here. I feel scared watching these violent crimes in USA. How can i be safe ?

He was just executed this year

he was executed by lethal injection on May 23, 2019, more than 30 years after his conviction. He was a chief guest by American govt and all expenses were paid by the public tax money.

Sorry, but no daughter of mine is working overnight, then biking home alone at 2:30 in the morning. Nope.

God Bless these hard working police officers , I am heartbroken over this tragic story , but at least they got the person that did it and justice was met

Lisa really was the MVP here. I hope she's doing well.

Why detectives don't switch on lights doing house search instead of using flashlight.

"You don't work these cases, you live and breathe these types of cases." 22:30. I can only imagine what kind of nightmares he had.

An anomaly: tire track evidence has tires on the killer's car black side out. In scenes of Long's red Dodge Magnum, its whitewalls show.

addicted to these

I wish these documentaries could move at a faster speed

" It takes time, at least 2 kills before the pattern emerges." Rofl.

Scientists: you cannot live 200 years. American judges: sentences you to 1000 years in prison

They left out so much of Lisa’s story. Watch Born to Kill if you want to hear her talk.

Lisa McVey Noland is an American police officer, school resource officer, and motivational speaker from Tampa, Florida. At age 17, she was abducted by Bobby Joe Long, a serial killer and rapist who sexually assaulted and murdered dozens of women in the Tampa Bay Area in 1984.

what a horrible human being.

A lot of these cases were featured on "Unsolved Mysteries" and "Forensic Files." It's interesting to get a new perspective.

Investigation ID produced an excellent program about Bobby Joe Long and how his wife slowly began to comprehend his crimes. More about Bobby Joe Long in the "The Monster I Married" episode of Investigation Discovery's Evil Lives Here.

This Jim character gets the Gold Metal for Mr. Excitement of the Year! lol

kayzd...you're absolutely correct.

He was only killed May last year.

Hank Hill says: Dammit Bobby!

I'm truly happy that the young lady Lisa was not killed " However I wonder why the same effort was not put forth in trying to find out what happened. to missing Twin sisters Dannette and Jeannette Milbrok in Alabama.

Anyone else here after watching Believe Me on Netflix? Lisa is an absolute legend.

2:42 Major Gary Terry and Lieutenant Terry LMAO so dumb

There was a much healthier budget for crime investigation back in the day. As it stands now, thousands of rape victims are waiting on rape kits to have DNA profiling but budgetary restraints means they are waiting for years, sometimes past the statutory time limit. 😥 this is a result of tax cuts for the wealthy, society suffers.

The actor playing the polygraph tech (18:00) has appeared in SO MANY "The FBI Files" episodes. He's played cops, villains, side kicks and (I think) a parent. Is he a producer here or something?

Thanks FBI and team in hunting down these evils, criminals, really tough to get hands on these cruelest criminal..

Imagine all the current killers not caught, also watching these shows, learning to circumvent forensics becoming effectively efficient....I mean, you can plant cigarette butts and frame a person with someone's DNA on them....how many innocent people have been convicted by this...makes me wonder sometimes

Tampa, FL

Sad

Crazy....i live there

The one key that cracked this case was Lisa...not the Fbi!!!!!!

25:00-25:07 Yyyyeeeaaahhh eeerrrmmm... You just showed his name on screen lol

They have over three people dead and a witness and they looking at tires?

Whats Ur favourite episode guys, I think mine was the Unabomber

I came from "Believe me" on Netflix 🎥🎥

"It takes at least 2 kills before a pattern emerges"...Well duh

Very good for the sentence
