Loved your intro: "I don't want to go to prison', 'too bad, we're going to prison', 'no thanks." Very funny.

I was part of a group of detectives in the 1990's that reviewed cold murder cases for the State of Missouri. A county Sheriff had interviewed Lucas about the murder of a young woman found stabbed to death along a rural road. The Sheriff said Lucas confessed to the killing and the case was closed; however, the DA did not file charges. My review of the case revealed that the Sheriff's investigators had shown Lucas the crime scene photos and Lucas was able to glean details of the murder from the investigators who were supposed to be interrogating him. The "confession" was video taped and provided a prime example of how Lucas was able to manipulate and extract details from the investigators. Lucas was then able to convince the all too eager investigators that Lucas knew details only the killer would know. All the while Lucas was hoaxing a multitude of investigators and detectives, he was getting special housing and food and celebrity status. The inexcusable and horrific result of his scam was that gullible detectives and those eager to quickly clear a murder case through Lucas' "confessions", allowed the real murderers to remain undetected and escape prosecution.

My grandmother was a nurse on death row in Huntsville while he was incarcerated. I own two art works he made while in there, a clock and a box both made out of popsicle sticks. Fascinating case.

Loved the opening........"We are going to prison." "But I don't want to go to prison." "Too bad, we are going to prison." Love the work you two do, keep it up.

My mom is a Shreve. Our family founded Shreveport. To see someone pronounce the name correctly sincerely means a lot to me. 🖤

I remember reading about an interview with Lucas where he tells the Japanese interviewer "Oh, I killed some in your country!" When the incredulous journalist asked Lucas how he got to Japan, Lucas laughs at the guy like he's an idiot and replied "Well, I drove there!"

I loved this opening when you said we're going to prison . And your wife turned away and said no thanks. LoL.

Micheal Rooker playing him in Henry 1986 was Freaking crazy

congratulations michael and jessica on 400k subscribers!!! what a huge achievement!!! another great video! thankyou for your hard work and bringing these videos to those of us who do not have the money to travel to all these places!! 🖤❣🖤

Great Segment Grimm Life. I know it's nowhere compatible to the electric chair, but last year I suffered a medical emergency. One night last year I suffered with something called with ventricular fibrillation also known as sudden cardiac arrest which usually results in death in just a few minutes without immediate care. It's the No. 1 cause of natural death in the United States, and accounts for half of all deaths from heart disease. I was very fortunate there is a fire/rescue station less than a half mile from mile my house. When it occurred I wasn't terrified, a sense of calm actually came over me. I thought to myself "So this is how I'm going out, at least my Wife and Adult Son are with me." I don't know exactly, but I'm pretty sure the Paramedic Crew, and Firefighters arrived in 3 to 5 minutes. The first thing the Paramedic did was to check my vitals. My blood pressure was dangerously low, and he saw the ventricular fibrillation when he hooked me up to the EKG. The Paramedic said "We have to defibrillate you to get your heart in rhythm, but we don't have time to give you anything for the pain." The Paramedic was very honest and said "I'm not going to lie to you, this is going to hurt like a MFer" While he attached the two defibrillator pads to my chest. I just looked at him and said "Let's do it". I was actually sitting on my living room couch when I was defibrillated. My wife said when the paramedic pushed the button on the defibrillator I was knocked back about two feet. Like he had warned me, it was very painful and everything went white. The pain only lasted about 5 seconds, and then I was back to be fully aware of what was going on. Within 30 seconds, my heart rhythm was normal, my blood pressure started coming back up and I was on the way to the hospital feeling much better. The next day in the hospital, the paramedic that saved my life was there to bring someone else into the ER. He stopped by my room to see how I was doing. I owe the man my life and couldn't be more grateful for the professionalism, and empathy that night. What I learned that night is that life is very precious. Don't waste it. And the only thing that matters are the people you love. Everything else is just is just a distraction. Keep doing what you do. Thank you.

Another entertaining and informative video. As a retired law enforcement/detective I found this particular video very interesting. Another great job guys thank you

For anyone interested, Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer, is a good low budget movie staring Michael Rooker loosely based on Lucas.

Omg that was adorable the look on Jessica's face when you said "we're going to prison" lol then you said too bad we're going and she walked away saying no thanks Priceless!! 👍😎

I once read that Henry tried to claim responsibility for Jonestown! When asked how he got there he responded, "Drove my Buick." Wish I could remember the source.

I bet there was a few murderers who got away with cause he was falsely admitting to killing victims when he didn't

I wish I would have known. I’m 20 minutes from Huntsville. Awesome video.

Great episode. I worked nights at the Walls Unit in Huntsville while in college (early to mid 80s) and remember seeing some of these things, including Clyde Barrow's files. Execution nights were busy and bustling and surreal.

You and Jessica are the best team on KZfaq. Great video Grimmlife.

Im so glad I discovered you guys. Great content! 😊

I just watched a documentary of Henry Lee Lucas. Crazy timing. Thanks. I really liked how that female Dallas Detective made a fake murder file and he confessed.

In situations like this, I just feel for the family and friends of lost loved ones who were teased with a possible bit of closure, only for their emotions to be dashed all over again. That is soooo cruel!*! 😕❤

"I don't wanna go to prison" "Too bad" 🤣🤣

There is a good movie called “Henry” that’s worth a watch. Based on Henry and his buddy Ottis.

Congrats on 400k subs! Ive been around since before you hit 100k. Love you guys and this channel.

4:34 I've heard that prison inmates make state license plates for cars, apparently for prison graveyards they do tombstones also.

Old Sparky reminds me of The Green Mile. Percy, one of the guards didn’t put the sponge on the prisoner and it took him longer to die.

Try visiting the Alcatraz of the East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge TN a pretty Cool Crime Museum I have a Video of my Visit to the Gaithersburg and Pigeon Forge areas back in 2019 .

Thanks for taking us with you! Great episode.

Henry portrait of a seriel killers one of my all time favourite films

My high-school sent myself and 5 or 6 other "troubled" boys to the Indiana state prison for a tour and a sort of proto scared straight lecture. During the tour we got to go check out their electric chair, I don't remember if it was still in use but they also showed us the hospital style bed used for the injections. Fun times

Bonnie's pearl-handled 1911 is so cool! It would sell for a ton today, no telling how much. The snub nosed 38 she had taped to her inner thigh sold for 250 thousand in 2012 i just read.

Henry Lee Lucas was my introduction to Serial Killers. His life story was the first Serial Killer book I read and that is where my fascination started.

One of my favorite Film! Portrait of a serial killer

Great crime museum! Fascinating! Great music! Fascinating! L💙ve You Grimm!💙

You're wife is sooo cute. I don't wanna go to prison. 😳😂 This is my new favorite channel. You both compliment each other. ❤️❤️

Thanks for showing us the prison museum! Greetings from a sunny South Africa.

Congratulations on 400k guys 👍

When you get back to Los Angeles can you do content about the Night Stalker? I’ve been captivated with the story since the Netflix doc

I spoke to a guard who was there at the time and he said that HLL was the stupidest guy he ever met and didn't believe anything he said.

It's got to be weird having a home overlooking a prison cemetery.

Awesome can’t wait to see this new video’s Episode Thanks Grimmlifecollective 👏🏻❤️

Extraordinary Texas prison history museum on Crime memory history

Yeah I'm with Jessica on this one - let's avoid prison. BTW - I've been catching these serial killer episodes you've been doing (Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, etc.) and you've done a great job with them. It is hard to balances history telling with being respectful to the victims and the sheer horror of their crimes. Well done and thank you for sharing this history in your unique style.

new sub! Found your channel through the interview you did with Shelly Duvall. Great content!!

March 12th, my birthday. Very cool museum.....that bullet proof helmet reminded me of the ones they wore in The Devils Rejects, lol. It amazes me the incredible artistic talents some inmates had. This Henry Lucas guy may have killed some people, yes, but he seemed to feed off obsessively the attention he was getting and loving every minute of it. As always, another great story/video

I dropped out for a while but THIS one got me BACK! 🤙☠

RIP to all of his victims ✌ 🕊 ♥ 💐 ☀ 💐 Happy Halloween 🦇.

That jacket is dripped out bro!!! Both y’all always drippin 🖤🏴‍☠️

He did lead the officer to one body in the county I live in and now I work in a maximum security prison

This guy was a pathological liar, wanted attention and got it, he played everyone and got to travel and leave prison whenever he confessed to a murder. Great video guys.. and Happy Halloween 🎃

13:25 bulletproof helmet.looks like that was on the Rob Zombie's devil rejects

Well Done, the Museum was very interesting. Amazing how they made all those things in Jail. I guess they have Plenty of Time to do it.

So genuinely loving and affectionate are you both❤️ And then.... "Too bad! We're going to prison!" 🤣🤣🤣 Holy heck I literally got a chill down my spine when I saw the title of this vlog 👀 Scariest of the scary, this monster 😵‍💫

13:42 In Stephen King's "The Green Mile" a green floor led to the electric chair. I wonder if there is any symbolism here with a green door and windows, like "the passage to hell is always greener and hotter on the other side of the wall."

We need Bailey Sarian to tag along to tell the crime story and Grim Life to tour the town it happened.

Thank you for another interesting adventure, Michael and Jessica! Take care & be safe on your travels! 🧡🖤💚

At 3:05, the first thing that popped into my head was "They're coming to get you Barbara" Just had a NOTLD feel with the guy in the back walking

Love you guys if your ever in north east Pennsylvania I have two aswom stories and I could show you around ahead of time. You rock

Another great video from you guys I'm so glad that you came to see all of the crazy stuff my great-uncle was locked up in Huntsville and he would write all kinds of letters to my grandmother. I also remember my great-great-grandmother telling me stories about her feeding Bonnie and Clyde, bugsy Siegel and other people along the way because we live in southern Oklahoma and she was a native American woman and she would feed a lot of these people that were on the run and they would pay her and just going and to the house that I still have today and knowing that those people walked in my house it's a weird feeling but she always said they were very respectful and they paid her very well but thank you so much for another great video you guys stay safe stay blessed and peace ❤️🤘

Imagine being led into a room in shackles and seeing that chair waiting for you?

I’m only an hour from Huntsville gonna have to go check it out

what an interesting character this guy was!!

This video was very entertaining. Love stories like this one. thanks you.

great 👍 video my friends a lot of history on america 🇺🇸 interesting never know about that thank you for sharing guy’s

I wouldn't want to live in front of a grave yard.

I saw the documentary on him. He was an animal to do the things he did to those people. May they all rest in piece. I liked your video on him and seeing some other things I didn't on the documentary. Keep the videos coming. Love watching ❤️🎃

Fascinating..you bring me with you everywhere you both visit! Thank You, best love and wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

Excellent video guys. . Many thanks. .

I live about 60 miles from Huntsville, my ex used to be a prison guard and he did his training there. I was interested in the 1911 pistol of Bonnie Parker. My father-in-law told a story about hitchhiking in Oklahoma and being picked up by a nice couple who dropped him off where he was headed. It was only when he saw a newsreel about them that he found out it was Clyde and Bonnie. Dad had a .38 like the one Bonnie had tapped inside her thigh when they were killed, a snub nose Smith and Wesson. He carried his as a special agent for the Oklahoma governor in the 1960s. We inherited it when Dad passed a couple decades ago.

Henry Lee Lucas???? I have never heard of this guy before but this is interesting. The intro though made me laugh and I love you two

You hot 400,000 ❣️ Well deserved ❣️ He was a disturbing man. No remorse. He's right where he should be. Studied his case back in my Forensic Pathologist days. Great upload!!! Love you ghouls🎃

Thank you both this was very informative and interesting

Thanks for all the new content! ❤

They said every time Lucas had a craving for a milkshake & hamburger he'd confess to another murder. I read a book about Henry Lucas a long time ago. I know he killed his mama around 1960 and his teen age girlfriend who happened to be the niece of Otis Toole. His childhood was pretty abusive and dismal. Another great video y'all!!

I read in Dave Crosby biography that once at a party an ex con showed him our to pick a lock When in prison later he broke the ice and impressed the prisoners when they saw what he had learnt. They probably thought he was some rich kid rock star. I liked to think he learnt some Leadbelly blues whilst he was in there. Keep up the good work 😎

Just discovered your channel and then promptly subscribed! You two are doing my dream job and are very engaging. Thank you so much for sharing! Cheers❤️🇨🇦

He wanted to read the comics his brother was reading the newspaper. So his brother threw the paper at Henry and the corner of the paper took out his left eye

The card describing the shortage of sodium thiopental has an interesting history. The “shortage” was actually due to the refusal to export it to US because the manufacturer was adamant it was an agent meant to help in anesthesia, not kill people.

Love u guys.. come back to Texas. So much crime here. Darlie routierr........CANDY....ETC

This was interesting Michael and Jessica thanks for sharing. Happy Halloween 🎃

Y'all making me wish i went down south earlier lol. Visited San Antonio where I use to live and headed up to Huntsville. Cool stuff

I watched that very long documentary of Henry Lee Lucas on Netflix. The 1st initial cop that came & picked him up from jail was feeding him information on all those cases that he "confessed" to. Imo I think that cop should've been fired but Texas is BIG on the good ol'boy system. PS I would've loved it if you would've read off the items that that inmate requested for his last meal. Did the paper say who the inmate was?

KZfaq always recommends your videos to me super fast, not complaining. 🍿💀

Genuinely grim stuff. You two present on these subjects very well.

Really do enjoy your videos. Thanks guys o/

Great video as always! Lucas was certainly an interesting case.

I used to live near Houston and went to Sam Houston State for about a year. I'd usually take a back road to the university to avoid traffic off the main exits from I-45, and 'my' route would take me back by that cemetery. This was the mid-90s though, and there was absolutely nothing out there except the cemetery itself at the time. Thanks for another video - I really appreciate that you guys make these trips to document all of this, and so respectfully too. Did you guys happen to make it down to Houston, in the 1960 area near 45? There's a Funeral Museum there. I used to work for SCI, a company that owned funeral homes, back in the late 90s and they ran the place. I had free access to the museum as an employee but never got a chance to check it out! I've no idea if it's still there or not.

Your channel will always hold a special place for me, like a warm fire , or a nostagic movie.

I didn't know david crosby was in prison Thanks for another great grimm adventure. Keep em coming

I don’t know if you know, but there was a female, governor or mayor. I think it was I can’t remember exactly what the title was during Bonnie and Clyde manhunt and she disbanded the Texas rangers because she thought they were incompetent but then she brought back Frank Hamer from the Texas rangers to hunt down Bonnie and Clyde and that’s what got the Texas Rangers back together.

Congrats on 400K...long overdue

Thanks for another great video. I always learn something from everything you guys post. Great job!

I came across your channel by accident and I am hooked!! Very informative, and interesting. Great job.

I was surprised that Bonnie’s gun wasn’t at the Casino with the other Artifacts from that day.

Ed Geins grave marker was stolen also.

I went to college there and use to go to that cemetary and you're correct, there use to be nothing out there. It was on the edge of campus and away from everything. Prison life is just matter of fact in Huntsville. At the university hotel near the college of criminal justice, where I spent my days...they had inmates help build the hotel. When they did the unveiling of the hotel they opened the hotel safe and there was a note from an inmate stating the safe wasn't safe...lol. It is for sure an interesting city with a lot of history. Great video...

Very informative

When I began my police career 40 years ago (I'm long retired) I saw the remains of what was believed to be one of his Louisiana victims. Without giving him any details, he pinpointed where the body was found. Of course he didn't kill 600 people but he was still a murderer.

Hell yea 400k I love watching your vids been a follower for a few years glad to see you're hard work paying off..

Heard his story thanks for sharing
