Making Monday mornings fascinating for many years now. Thank you, Brief Case!

It's terrible that Mr Peters was murdered, but also very sad to think of the living situation Coneys was willing to endure out of desperation.

I have but one question... How differently would have Theodore Coneys' life turned out if he would've stayed in school? This was the danger of giving such a diagnosis of lifespan at such a young age. Doctors don't realize that they can put a limit on their patients mentally when they do so. He lived to 84 years old, And now he has no legacy except for squatting in a house and killing a man. I find it extremely sad.

It's creepy how he was able to live in the house so long undetected one of these hiding up the attic situations they always seem chilling to me

I was totally glued to this story! I've heard more modern cases of people sneaking into attics and making it home, but this is truly something else!! No doubt that Theodore had very bad luck in life and clearly never intended to kill anyone, but what he did next is bizarre! Maybe he pretended it had all been a bad dream..🤷🏻‍♀️ He certainly lived a long life, in spite of doctors believing he wouldn't make it past his late teens.. Thank you as always, BC💼 and happy Monday to all.. 🤗

All is right in the world, a new Monday brief case

Very interesting and sad. He didn't mean to kill his friend, so he should've gone to the police. But, how he lived in that house for so long without being found is amazing. Just the thought of someone living in your attic and you never knowing it, that's pretty creepy.

Thanks Brief Case! Harrowing was a perfect description. I have never found anything quite as creepy as someone living hidden in your home!

I have been looking forward to this! Thank you, it’s just not a good Monday without you.

Greetings crime fans and BC. Looking forward to listening to this.

Good morning Mr.Brief Case, This story was marked by tragedy after tragedy . The death of both parents losing a company and becoming homeless, the stock market 📉 crash. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be homeless during the winter but I can understand trying to seek shelter. First of all, I think he should have never broken into the house of a friend, even though they hadn’t seen each other in years. to make matters worse, he murders and then goes back up into the attic. I can see why people thought the house was haunted, but I think this scariest part is not knowing someone is in your home while you’re sleeping because you don’t know what people are capable of. Sadly how this turned into someone being killed. I can only imagine the desperation of finding a place to keep warm and find some food. He still didn’t have the right to take the life of anyone. Such a tragic story when you can’t come home to your own house, only to find someone in there, eating your food and stealing items. Thank you for another intriguing mystery. I missed you last week. We had terrible storms here in Northern California. We lost power, no hot water and Wi-Fi was down for days. I hope you have a wonderful week and as always looking forward to next Monday. Bless 🙏🏽

I didn't expect you to cover this case but am glad that you did

I feel a little bit of sympathy for Theodore Coneys. The case itself is different from previous ones where a crime is too often committed out of greed or jealousy. Here we have a man nearing 60, in poor health and destitute, who hoped for help from a friend and made the decision of entering a house that is not his without invitation. Everything that went wrong after started with this one terrible decision. It was a fascinating story. Thank you Brief Case for telling it.

This is the first time I remember you covering a story from my area. Fantastic! Seeing the photos of the past while I look out on the present is a spooky unique pleasure. Multiple views a necessity. A very special thanks BC.

Hello BC from Rochester, New York. I watch your videos every Monday. Thanks for your excellent work!

What a really interesting story. Creepy to think there could be someone living in you attic.

Good morning Brief case from Wisconsin USA!

Yay Brief case! Thank you!!!

Greeting and salutations Brief Case (and Team) from Cabbagetown, Toronto.

You've provided a lot more info on this story than I've heard from any other source. I've taken historical walking tours that go by the Moncrief Pl house, but tour guides give only about a paragraph's amount of info. Colorado has other intetesting cases, such as the unsolved murder of educator Emily Griffith and her sister Florence. And, since you mentioned Canon City, the story of Anton Woode is interesting because of his young age. Denver Post columnist Dick Kreck wrote a whole book on Woode. There are many more stories from Colorado, such as the Bank Vault murders, and the Bloody Espinosas in the 1860s, and the fate of one of their heads being in the basement of the Capitol building.

Good afternoon BC family ❤

Thank you, BC. Very sad. Nothing justifies murder, but Theodore seems to have been scarred from the beginning of his life. I think his psyche was impaired, particularly after hearing the grim diagnosis--at 18--that he had six months to live. Thank you for posting this: I was looking forward for the podcast from you:).

Your stories are the highlight of my Mondays . Your voice also soothes me when I’m taking a seizure so thank you for everything ❤

Morning brief case got my coffee and your story 👍😁 have a great week

Good morning from Lexington, Virginia! Always love starting a new week with BC on Monday morning 🌄

Good morning Brief Case.

Good Morning, Brief Case. I've been waiting, coffee in hand. Thank You for another wonderful story. ❤🇨🇦

Morning briefcase, Alberta Canada

Thanks, BC.

Listening to this from Beloit WI! Been a fan for years. Thanks, BC!

An unsual case, BC. It's sad that this man got no or very little help from people, his whole life. Why didn't he just tell the guy his situation and say I'll move out when your wife returns from the hospital? Killing him makes no sense whatsoever. Glad for the family though, that they got justice and this dude finally got 3 squares and cot for the rest of his life. Sad situation all the way around. Thanks BC.

Great Monday morning BC

What a strange and sad case. Thank you Brief Case.

The twists of fate... had his father and mother not died, he may well have had a prosperous life. Very sad for him, his victim and the victim's family.

I've heard similar stories, where intruders managed to remain undetected for years. I'm surprised that Theodore wasn't caught by a nosy neighbor sooner.

Well Theodore's doctors would have been shocked to find out the sick little boy whom they thought would not live past 18 went on to see is 84th birthday, however "what a miserable life". This was sad all the way around. Great research. Have a good week BC and faithful ones. Elizabeth

Good morning Brief Case family happy Monday 🌞🌳🌼🐦

Not commented for a while....but I'm still watching and still loving the stories you tell. Keep them coming please x

On a side note, I found it really nice that the woman who lived next door to the man whose wife was in the hospital was cooking dinner and breakfast for him the whole time. How far removed we've come from helping our neighbors, let alone making them a meal. There was no tv, just the radio and times were tough. I doubt we'll ever get back to those days, but it's kind of sad that we've become so far removed from the people who live next to us. Everyone deserves their own private space and private lives, but it is very heartwarming to know that his woman neighbor cared enough not only to feed him, but go and check on him. I'm sure it still happens, but probably not as often as it did then. We'll never know, but that act of kindness really impressed me.

I'm amazed Mr Peters didn't recognise him, or Theodore didnt say who he was in the midst of the frenzied attack. Then the irony of him living to such an old age after being so sickly as a kid!

I am from Colorado and was excited to hear this story.

What an intriguing and yet sad case of a horrific murder of a friend because a man experienced some challenging times in his life. Great investigation and presentation, as always.

It is stories like this that give me the Willie's in a couple of the houses I clean. One of the rentals, I always have someone with me because of the trap doors in both the loft and basement. Thank you BC. Always a good start to the week with a new story from you.

No known enemies is always the root word clearly he did have an enemy to end up murdered

Good morning BC from Black Diamond Alberta, it would indeed be unnerving there mysterious sounds in my house!😮 Happy Monday 😊

Gosh! This was a REALLY odd one. Thanks for sharing BC.

I can’t believe how horrible it would be to think you have a ghost. I love you B.C. Thank you for your hard work on these.

This was a great story Mr. Brief Case. Thank you for your talent at telling it so vividly. I love every Monday when I can listen to a new intriguing podcast. Hope you have a lovely week, looking forward to next Monday!

Yet another great story.

Hello!!! This was a interesting story. The Police should always know to check out everything. If they would of checked that small attic door this would have been solved quickly. I'm glad he got caught.Nice Video!!!...🦋

These are the most unsettling stories, to me, having someone hiding in one’s house without their knowledge … that alone is skin crawling to me!! 😳

Thank you for another great story !!

I googled the address noted for this house in Denver. It was on Zillow and last sold for over a million dollars. Subsequent renovations have made it a beautiful home.

Thanks BC, always the best. Keep up the great work.

Wow, 84 years old....and that doctor told him he probably wouldn't live past his teens. That doctor put that awful prediction in his head. What a sad sad life.

Another amazing story. Thanks folks

Almost midnight here in Australia :)

Its a tragedy in every sense of the word,loss of life, ,slipping through the net ,and nothing done for these situations in scociety😔

A sad but true direct result of what it must have been like to be disabled, given "no chance to live long", losing both parents who were his most ardent supporters. After which, the stock market crashed and the Great Depression followed 😢.

Good morning, Brief Case, from Washington State.

I have lived in Denver multiple times. I have also seen the old prison in Canon city. Thanks for the story!

Happy Monday BC

BC, another very interesting case, but I must say in a way I understand why he hid in the attic of his former friend's house, although I don't excuse Mr. Coneys murdering his friend. Its sad Mr. Coneys never got much help through his life from people. His mother passing away definitely threw him for a loop, having depended on her so much. Thank you for another great start to my Monday BC, greetings from Saratoga Springs, New York, USA!!!

Interesting to say the least. To think he was told he probably wouldn't make 18 and ended up dieing in his mid 80's. Also didn't realise they had hip operations that long ago, for some reason i thought it was a fairly modern op. Ty

What a bizarre story - not least for the readiness with which people leap to supernatual solutions to things going bump in the night!

Wow she was a brave woman with a bat! All cred to her. I would had run so fast and thought it was a ghost. Great job Briefy as always Hugs from Sweden

Ah, well ... I guess in prison he got three meals a day and didn't have to worry about freezing to death by the roadside somewhere.

Always look forward to Monday mornings! Love your content, I find these old cases fascinating, specially as they're researched so well. Seeing what life was like at various points in history and in different countries is extremely interesting.

You always have the best cases and the best presentation.

I know this story and it happened where I live. Your photos and research details surpass any reports ive heard on this case. I am very impressed 👍 Maybe your best

Awesome 👍😎 as always

Always interesting Thank you❤

I love the pictures as well . Again well done

As usual, I love your content, and the way you describe the criminal and his intentions. Also, the way you envisioned the victims as they truly are. I look forward to each and every Monday to watch brief case. Take care stay well.

Thank you for a new case BC!.. Such an odd story, thanks for putting it together.

Yet another great job by BC

Thank You ❤

Perhaps this is just serendipitous, but Petersburg Illinois, where Theodore's story began was also home at one time from 1831-1837 to America's greatest president Abraham Lincoln and today is his birthday! Thank you...Mondays are more blissful because of Brief Case...it often blows my mind that you mention little hubs or towns that are quite familiar to me, what a small world. Take care.

Good video as always

We had a similar situation where someone was living in our church's attic. Disturbing.

What a lovely way to start a Monday 🎉❤ Thank you BC

Such an obvious crime of poverty raises a lot of issues, but the one that I get from this case is: Coney got a life sentence and was instantly better off with an improved living standard and a higher life expectancy. This is called systemic dysfunction.

Wow! Just a few miles from me and I never heard this story. Very interesting - thank you Brief Case!

Ty so much

Brief Case, thank you for another interesting video. I have another one to enjoy after this one. 😊

Stories like this one frightens the life out of me!! It's enough to make your hair stand on end 👀😬😱 I love the work you do 👍👌♥️

Wow great historical research 🎉🎉🎉 Nice one 😊

Thankyou 🖤 🖤

thank you.

one from my home state that i haven't heard before. thanks!!!

Creepy awesome 😮

Hey Brief Case: Have you covered the insane case of Blanache Monnier? This case really reminds me of it. You could probably do an entire series on different cases related to people hiding in peoples houses or being held captive. They are some of the eeriest cases

Thanks BC ~ good morning ❤

Need I say it? Of course I do. QUALITY CHANNEL!!!!!!!!

Poor Mrs. Peters. I can’t imagine what it was like when it sunk in that the killer was in the house THE ENTIRE TIME. It’s like the origin story of so many horror movies.

🤗…oooooh goody goody gum gums! 🙌💕

If only Mr Peters had been in the first time and had offered to help him. So sad for everyone

If he hadn’t murdered his unknowing host, I would have called Theodore’s story sad rather than chilling. I recall a case in the 1970s in Philadelphia, in which a man suffering a mental health crisis shot and wounded his wife on a commuter train, then made his way to their church and hid in the attic for several weeks. I can’t recall all the details, but it may make an interesting case.

Thank you BC, Monday done ✔️ 🇨🇦🙃

I remember this case and being creeped by how someone could leave in a place undetected for so long
