Crazy how you filmed this 8 months ago and now it has been made infamous with the Mica Miller case. This is really good to see what the area looks like! Thanks for all you do JLR

I grew up in Lumberton. If you had kept straight and had not turned right, to go to Martin Luther Drive. You would see some of the worst areas hit by the storms. Many regions of Lumberton were completely underwater. Crime has always been bad there but has gotten worse over the years. However, some wonderful people still live there. I moved from the area but still live in the beautiful state of NC.

Funny you did this video around 7 months ago and now you are there for Mica Miller case. I go to Lumberton all the time, worked there for years, went to college at UNCP, and now go there all the time for grocery and shopping. I never ever think about it being dangerous.

You’re the hardest working man in true crime.

Fayetteville around Fort Bragg is so bad that the Army we not let the soldiers go to Walmart and there's certain places as well they're not allowed to go in that area

Born and raised in Lumberton. It’s not as bad as he’s portraying it to be. Lots of good people here

I was in Lumberton back in the 70's with my half lumbee friend whose family was still there in a farmhouse without running water or a bathroom. lol

I work in medicine and traveled there to work. Lots of the older folks were extremely sweet but illiterate and just living in poverty. The younger generation is much different. I’ve lived all over the country and a common theme is politicians. I’m an independent and have no desire to be party affiliated but blue cities are just cesspools. I got out of my last blue city in 2020. The violent crime is just crazy and it seems like nobody cares or wants to fix the problem.

I’m from NC and u can ask anyone what city they would’nt want to live in in this state and I bet most would say lumberton Robeson county

I was born in Lumberton and worked for the County from 81-88. It was poor then and officially ruined by Democratic leadership. I feel sorry for anyone that lives there.

I lived in Lumberton for 10 years… since it’s right on I-95, it’s always been know for drugs. And the po-po are involved so…there ya go…

Come on JLR. come check these places out when it gets dark then you will understand. I know it says Lumberton is the most dangerous but it's the whole county. You wouldn't want to be in those areas when it is dark. And TT/Tuner Terrace those are known as projects. All these people come here to record the dangerous city, wait and come do your research at night, you wouldn't be so laid back and calm then!

I think it say something as to why Mica was found there. Crazy how 6 mos and you’re back there for this crime.

Michael Jordan’s father robbed/murdered there back in 93 closer to the interstate. RIP

Growing up in Lumberton born and raised I can tell you it has been rough long before Matthew and Florence ever hit. You want the 411 on Robco I would be glad to point you in the right direction.

IMO the houses that are boarded up should be fixed up to help the homeless vets across America

Be careful out there, JLR… please! You know how the famous saying goes!?… that you can’t always judge a book by its cover!?? Yes… so, the town sign is very nice & the town “looks” pretty safe- as you have pointed out to us. As you were driving through the town and noting how nothing really looks that bad to you- then asking us what we all 🤔 think…hmmm, so I would then, answer you like this… Yes, JLR, there’s obviously a reason it’s labeled to be just so extremely dangerous and I probably wouldn’t question that too much (especially as a woman, if”I” was driving around)! Guys have to be careful, too, but I’m just saying that I don’t think anybody should be driving around - purposely trying to find the danger that’s “hidden within” that town! Please be careful, Jonathan- that’s all I mean by that… your audience members care about your safety and well-being! That’s for sure! It’s “marked” dangerous for a good reason. You’re a highly intelligent guy… Probably much better to research the danger ⚠️ zones there before driving directly into them- unknowingly-& catch yourself in a sticky situation!! In certain neighborhoods, all you have to do is simply to be wearing the wrong color of a shirt, or clothing (unknowingly) to be shot at, etc…. Not trying to sound paranoid or strange here, and it’s quite unfortunate, but this “WORLD” anymore (in general) should be labeled a very “dangerous place”. Just don’t want you looking for trouble in that dangerous city and actually find it!! We ALL care about you, appreciate your hard work ethic and value listening to the wonderful awareness you bring to all cases- the ancient-old and the brand-spanking new cases, just the same! Take care … be safe… we need you!

Looks more like low-income housing and not ghetto. Some of those homes at the beginning are amazing. One thing for sure I am noticing no tent cities anywhere. No addicts walking the streets like zombies. Looks like a big country town. Stay safe you never know.

I live here in Raleigh, N.C! Welcome friend! Safe travels!!

I was wondering why houses were so cheap. Thanks for the video I won't move there now

I was born there. Family moved to VA when I was 5. Spent several summers with my sisters there @ Grandma’s house. Had a good time there between the ages of 11-16. Still have some family there. Been years since I been there, like to go back and retrace my childhood. Train went in front of Grandma’s house on dirt road, really fun. This ain’t my real name.

You surely are a hard worker and deserve credit where credit is do. Thank you for your dedication in all that you do.

Thank you for all your great content.

My name is Jamie by the way. I am the owner of the RDC...anyway I live in Fayetteville, NC and if you want a case that has not been solved and is still open, look into the Brittany Locklear Case out of Raeford, NC (Hoke County). This happened back in the mid 90's I believe. She was a 5yr old little girl that was abducted from her bus stop which was at the end of her driveway. She was found the next morning in a ditch about a mile from her home. She had been raped and drowned. To this day a black cloud hangs over that County.

You Johnathan are amazing you go where most won’t it could be a tunnel, back dirt road creepy woods or a murders front or back yard your there 🥾🥾on the ground to bring us all the scoop we appreciate and love you JLR your the best thanks for all the coverage be safe❤😊

.... THose Lumbee Indians aint no joke, I.m from NC Greensboro infact...

The demographics explain a lot…

It's just the calm before the storm. 🏝🌪

You should have just asked me, JLR. I live here...well 30 minutes from Lumberton. I will say Lumberton has it's fair share of crime, but Fayetteville IS the most dangerous. I live and grew up in Fayetteville. Dateline has done at least 4 episodes in Fayetteville that I can recall off of the top of my head. 1.) Kellie Bordeaux - was a female Ft. Bragg soldier that went missing and was found dead. 2.) Danielle Locklear - 16 yr old female killed by her 17 yr old boyfriend. 3.) Michelle Theer - she was a woman that plotted with her lover to kill her husband. Her Husband was a Captain in the US Air Force and her lover was a Sargeant in the Army. 4.) Joan and Elizabeth Shannon - Mother and 15 yrd old daughter plotted to kill David Shannon, Joan's husband and Elizabeth's Stepfather. I believe there are more but my brain is tired, lol.

I live near Lumberton NC ! Wow

I was born and raised in North Carolina... but I live next to the Mountains of NC... but people it's """ Rob- uh- Son""", that's how you pronounce the county Robeson

I live in Dobson NC and I don't think the killers of Jennifer Shorts family has ever been solved.... She was missing after her family was found murdered and her remains were found later. I have never heard of it being solved.

I live about 45 mins away from Lumberton. I grew up going there all the time for shopping and etc.. It has taken a drastic turn. My 80 year old mom still goes there from time to time but she always carry's her pew pew now.

Welcome to NC great reporting stay safe

Hell, I thought it was gonna be Rocky Mount North Carolina

It's not so bad. I'm 38 and born and raised. It's usually stuff stemming from altercation I don't hear very often of just cold blooded pattern killing. Those stats are by population to different amounts of crime. But like any other place drugs and money make ppl do crazy things as well as greed. I can't argue with the facts after I searched how it was figured. To the guy that made this video. Take that same drive on a Friday night just after dark or in summer 9pm on weekend. Everybody sleep right here. Ride through lumbee homes off mlk Blvd. You'll see that's the side of town that flooded most but projects got fixed. East lumberton South of 2nd.

It’s the whole highway 74 route towns with problems and economics. Lumberton just happens to be at the Hwy 74 interstate 95 intersection. There’s probably more contraband being run up interstate 95 than any two other Hwy’s combined. I live about an hour west of Lumberton.

It seems to me that’s where Leticia Stauch was extradited from. I think she has family there in Lumberton SC . If I’m remembering the trial correctly . A rough area for sure. Please be careful JLR.

If you are hunting bad places, please do not go in Atlanta. I don't want you getting shot or stabbed or robbed. I'm from there. It is bad.

My family is from here. I live here. There were a lot of factories here that shut down. Good paying jobs have gone away. Some young folks here would rather steal and sell drugs than find legit jobs. Most people here are good people though. I feel we don't have anymore crime than most places.

My thoughts are you didn’t see it after dark.

Enjoyed seeing Lumberton NC, but it seems like other cities. Nothing stands out.

I grew up very near there in Rockingham NC. North Carolina is wonderful for so many reasons… but just like everywhere else, we have our bad cities too

How crazy is it that you do this video on Lumberton 8 months ago and then end up covering the Mica Miller case less than 6 months later 😢

Lovely homes McMansions

KZfaq has quite a few videos on the flooding in Lumberton - maybe check out a few of those to get a better understanding of what this town has endured. Great Video!!

Be safe JLR ❤... you never know who or what's lurking out there.

Lumbee nation.. stay safe PA 🪶 Michael Jordan's dad was killed there.. the killer of all those girls still roams free.

Lumberton can't be worse than Fayetteville. It's a town that doesn't really like outsiders. A rich history of the Lumbee (sp?) Native American Tribe.

If you notice there's nobody out. Wait until the sun goes down. All of the crime and demons come out at night! I wouldn't recommend driving through there at night.

It looks lovely there. The homes are beautiful. I guess it's very deceiving because of drugs and poverty

It's not looking sketchy in day time hours...

those projects look clean, no dealers on the corners or broke down cars, no prostitutes in plain sight, didn't see any homeless

Leave it to Jonathan to be walking around in one of the most dangerous cities in the country

Love you r channel jlr rocks❤😊❤

Okay, there are a lot of very rough people in Robeson County. I would never want to get stranded on the road there at night. Years ago there was a club/bar I heard about but my brother warned me to never go as the girls would seriously hurt me cuz I wasn't from there. My brother went there only once. A cousin was robbed and murdered in a little convenience store he owned. I don't know about now, but police corruption was real bad. Anyway, I have relatives there who are wonderful, loving people and they enjoy their Ives and community but I would never want to live there.

After the hurricanes many people moved away. Some areas people weren't allowed to go back to.

Beautiful homes

Do your investigation at night and please be very careful and keep your eyes on everything around you. Check out East 2nd st from the historically downtown all around court house all the way to other end of 2nd st.Southside down Martin Luther St. All down 5th st. 72 west all out that way. Clyburn Pines,Saddle tree ChapelJamestown,Back SwampRowland, Beam Rd,Allenton,Red Springs, St Paul's Fairmont, Lumber Bridge, Shannon Rd, anywhere in Pembroke. Fuck it just don't be in anywhere in our county at night. No where is safe but home. But if you must go out when its dark, just get ready to drive for your life at times. Come on and check some of these places when its dark. Bet you don't.

I always sleep there as a stop over driving to Florida … I didn’t know that😮

Beautiful architecture

The home of Lietecia Stauch!

Such an attractive place.

I'm from lumberton i don't think we are the most dangerous city in n.c it is getting bad here though but been here my whole live born and raised.Its home.

I live in Bladen county my Daughter was Miss Pembroke and she went to the NORTH CAROLINA pagent in Raleigh NORTH Carolina

the most beautiful place i know ... the back swamps are beautiful and a secret to the locals. if you ever have the chance check out the pembroke location of robeson county, beautiful people and extremely proud of their native heritage, and ancestors that participated in "The Lowery Gang". ... safe travels 🙂

I loved the KOA in Lumberton, NC!❤❤❤

This was an interesting tour. Every city has its ghettos

NAFTA back in the 90s was the last nail in the coffin of Lumberton because it took out manufacturers like Converse, Alamac etc.

I lived in Raleigh in the 90s. We were always told that the Lumbee Indian Tribe that resides in Lumberton were corrupt and dangerous. Have no idea if that is true or not

Just came through there going home from nc beaches. ❤

this is where my family is from ! I’ve never lived there my moms family raised me in bama

Stayed at a hotel there on our way to Florida, super sketchy

My home town and it wasn't like this when I was growing up but it is now

Was born in Lumberton. My brother was born and died by being shot in Lumberton

C'mon In...The place does not look that bad, I look at the height of the fences and do they have barbed wire, also bars or grates over the windows. If you can drive around with the windows down, not that bad. Come back to PA, take a ride through Chester, PA or Camden, NJ, you wont want them windows down:) Great job JLR

I live about hr and 20 mins from Lumberton I live on the state line of nc and sc im on the sc side and I remember the hurricane Florence it was really bad with the flooding my friends mom and another lady both dead in the back of a police van bc they went around a barrier and the van went under and both women drowned so sad. I know the driver is in prison righr now for it. They both were trying get help for there mental they wasnt in trouble but when ur in the hospital thats had they had to be transported.. thanks for the videos and what you do love watching your channel!!!

why does every hood have a Martin Luther King Blvd?

The hurricane and flood I think around seven years ago left major devastation to Lumberton

I’m from Lumberton NC and have lived in Lumberton my whole life with the exception of the time I served in the Military. Believe me when I tell you that if my parents and grandmother were not still living here I absolutely would not be residing here. Drugs and homelessness is rampant and our corrupt local politicians aren’t doing enough. The only local politician that cares about our community is our Sheriff but one person can’t fix everything. Law enforcement is understaffed and the school system is underfunded. For everyone’s safety if you are passing through Robeson County while traveling DO NOT stop here.

Hey. We stopped at a motel there on way home from Florida!😳😳

Damn JLR! 5 months ago? You can read the future?

Hi so not gonna lie im from the area and I watched your video curiously. U went the wrong way. East Lumberton and on back behind the court house .. is rough even during the day in my opinion ... and its all the above unsolved cases crimes drugs is among the worst. u also were driving during the day....although certain areas u should steer clear of. Now not everyone in every area of lumberton is like that. But it has gotten in my opinion worse in the last couple years and the flooding really effected our area with lavk of insurance bc of the high prices between rent gas etc. So yeah. But it can have a good small town feeling at times. Its not how it was when i was growing up .

Wow, I thought Charlotte.. I live in Statesville about 30 minutes away and it’s always something on the news about Charlotte , I don’t go there for anything unless I’m driving through for vacation..❤

I’ve seen worse neighborhoods in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

You know criminal activity happens at night not during daylight hours.

I live in Fayetteville NC,, and I heard that john Paul millers attorney lives and owns land close to the park where mika was found. Have you JLR heard anything about that??

Thanks, im looking for a place to move to with my teen son and it's hard finding affordable houses, been looking all over the southern usa! Ugh

Why are streets/project abandoned in light of day? That many people incarcerated, or just sleeping in?

Rocky Mount makes Lumberton look like the Bahamas

drive thru the area at midnight and she what is going on

Try checkin out Logan Heights in San Diego. Bought a boat in Lumberton from a cop. He said its pretty rough there but anywhere in the US is rough now.

If you need some new material Michelle Trivette of Damascus Virginia has not been solved. She went missing at Halloween and her body was dumped a month later on the other side of our very small town. The town is known as trail town usa. It has the Appalachian trail and other trails running through it. We are such a small town that we don't even have a stop light. I know the locals would like to know what happened and get some justice for shelly. We are about an hour from the summer wells case

Most likely is considered the most dangerous per capita bc it's high crime with low population numbers. There is a shooting death almost every day on the east and west sides of Charlotte. Property crime is dangerous, but you cannot compare crime anywhere in the state to Charlotte. Charlotte is the only city with actual gang activity and actual gang on gang violence. Per capita crime does not mean Lumberton residents should be scared. And most ppl there are probably strapped and able to defend their homes if they are invaded when someone is home. And even Charlotte residents aren't scared bc the crime only happens over / past literal intersections that divide the classes. Straight down the middle there is very little crime and people just go about their lives whereas east of Monroe or west of South Blvd you know you are not in a safe area so be on higher alert. just my 2 cents from 20 years living in Charlotte and 35 years in the state. I left the city and now live in more rural areas and I love it.

Who's here after Mica Miller was killed in Lumberton state park???

Hi A nice place Many emptey buildings and house?❤

Flint and Detroit, MI look way worse than that

I just googled it, Myrtle Beach came up as most dangerous city. Maybe JP and his motley crew took it there.

Man, you have no idea about Lumberton North Carolina. There are a lot of good people there but there’s also a lot of people that will get you and get rid of your body and you will never see it again. Moral of the story is don’t piss off a lump I live right next to him. There’s one county over I don’t mess with them at all, except for if I know him.

Wow!
