Comments by "Jim Werther" (@jimwerther) on "Justice for Sheila? | Full Episode" video.

  1. Allen Blackthorne died in prison in 2014, age 59. No cause of death provided. Stevie is now 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT! -> Another commenter caught my mistake: The quads are actually 27, and turn 28 in December. My apologies for the error.

  2.  @maricamaas2326  She moved 1200 miles away to an unknown address after he completely renounced custody. What was she to do? Live in an armored underground bunker with her kids for the next fifty years? How would she educate them? Get food? Make a living? This is absolutely NOT on the victim.
    92
  3.  @maricamaas2326  Why do you insist upon blaming the victim?
    89
  4. Sheila had seemingly moved on, meaning her only concern with Blackthorne was presumably not having him around. Anyone who can walk away without obsessing is in a much better place.

  6.  @maricamaas2326  So she should have shared custody of the girls with an abuser? Then what would you have said once he kidnapped or killed the girls? Think.
    48
  7.  @amandam1137  You're dead wrong. In her comments throughout the entire comment section, she not only blamed the victim, but badmouthed her widower as well.
    45
  8.  @InnerHorizonLed  Quadruplets. Mental health professionals will tell you that major trauma can happen even with events that happen at an extremely young age, and must be dealt with in therapy. I wouldn't know, but so I'm told.
    39
  9.  @maricamaas2326  "Taking the two girls completely away from their father"? He was abusive! And fully signed away all rights! What was she supposed to do, exactly? Live in an armored underground tunnel for the next fifty years? She's dead because he had her killed, end of story. There was absolutely nothing risky in her behavior, moving 1200 miles away to an unlisted address.
    27
  10.  @maricamaas2326  Should she have stayed with an abuser? Getting married eight years after their breakup, and six years after the divorce, that was somehow a problem? What are you talking about?
    25
  11.  @maricamaas2326  I don't know why you're hung up on blaming a victim who literally did nothing wrong, but you're making no sense. Give it up.

  13. Was. Died at age 59.

  14. I know a wonderful woman who is on her fourth husband. It is hardly a guarantee of evil behavior.
    15
  15. That stuff is a bunch of nonsense. Certainly without a baseline of his body language it is meaningless. Blackthorne was evil, and now he's dead, and nodding has nothing to do with it.
    13
  16.  @TheRetroWoman80  Yup. If it makes you feel better, we all have our challenges, all different types. God only gives us what we can handle.
    12
  17. Not that unfortunate
    11
  18.  @cocoa_bean_queen  I wish I knew more. I hope all are well.

  19.  @TruthPortals  That is very kind of you to write. Thank you.

  20.  @AlexAndra-iy5zu  I can't find it online

  21. She's 39 years old now. I imagine that happened long ago.
    6
  22.  @ASpectacular3777  They never said publicly.
    6
  23.  @megadevilkitty777  Interesting

  24. Dateline is lousy. Rather is a disgrace to journalism, which is why his career came crashing down.

  25. Based upon what? Is there something wrong with you?

  26.  @TheMobileGeriatrician  You really enjoy attacking crime victims with baseless accusations, don't you?

  27. Stevie is 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT -> The quads are 27, and turn 28 in December. Another commenter pointed out my mistake. Sorry for the error.

  28. Was. Died at 59.

  29. ​ @FrankClory-mo3kl  Dude

  30. This is 23 years old. Less than four years later Rather's deceit caught up with him, and he was fired by CBS.

  31. ​ @maricamaas2326  Sheila getting remarried was absolutely appropriate. The notiom that no divorced person can remarry if there are minor children in the picture is obviously absurd.
    4
  32. 2014. Age 59. Cause of death not given.
    4
  33.  @beachgirl4truth672  Interesting. Sounds like that is/was a woman worth speaking with. Do/did you know her well?
    4
  34. ​ @cgroom23  I don't know.

  35. Dumb comment, OP. For one thing, it's played out already. For another, they said none of that in this episode.
    3
  36. No juror defended him.
    3
  37. Really? Seems unlikely, although I guess anything is possible. Perhaps your memory is playing tricks on you?

  38. Blackthorne was born Allen Van Houte, and somewhere along the way changed his name.

  39. ​ @lottoo5693  Says the commenter named "lotto"

  40. I remember watching it before, perhaps five years ago. I think it was on YT a few years back.

  41. Similar, certainly.

  42. 13 year old Stevie is now 39, three years older than the age at which her mother was killed, and the quads are 27.
    2
  43.  @ALT-vz3jn  The OP wrote "would have been". And I am noting that she wouldn't have cared either way.
    2
  44. ​ @kathymccarthy5264  I noticed that the two older girls are "Stevie" and "Daryl". Perhaps a fan of Stevie Nicks and Daryl Hannah? Anyway, your comment is perfectly fine.
    2
  45.  @kathymccarthy5264  Yeah, crossed my mind too. Who knows? Anything is possible. But having Stevie Nicks and Daryl Hannah around made it okay either way.
    2
  46. Those quadruplets are two months away from turning 28. Stevie is 39, three years older than the age at which her mom was killed.
    2
  47.  @irenestrmnss4331  Lol! Misandrist much?
    2
  48.  @gingerharmon3674  I am unaware of any lawsuits.

  49. Stevie is 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25 - EDIT! -> 27.

  50. Good thing you told her to do so. Just in case she was reading the comments and wasn't sure about her next step.

  51. Rather is an advocate for his leftist causes, not a journalist, which is why his career went down the tubes.

  57. He stole it from his father, amazingly enough.

  58. Stevie is 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT -> 27, not 25. Someone corrected me.

  59. Left field, but yeah.

  64.  @cazi5759  Born December 1995, so 27. Thank you for the correction.

  66. I'm so glad you mentioned that, as I'd been concerned. Now I can sleep at night.

  70.  @TheMobileGeriatrician  What is wrong eith you? They haven't suffered enough??

  71.  @sorajapuskar55  Stevie's sister Daryl would now be 37 or 38

  72. Sheila wanted Ann Rule to write her story after Blackthorne killed her. I am not making this up.
    1
  73. ​ @robs1873  He's guilty. And dead.
    1
  74. What was strange about it? 83 year old woman with congestive heart failure.
    1
  75.  @bonitalawrence8436  Even more evil than mentioned. William Allen Van Houte (his name before he changed it to Blackthorne) made his money by stealing a medical invention from his own father. He tortured small animals, and abused his first two wives as well. (Yet three women married him.)
    1
  76.  @bonitalawrence8436  It's even worse than this video reported. William Allen van Houte, as he was named at birth, went on to torture small animals, made his money by his stealing his father's medical invention, then abused all three of his wives.
    1
  77.  @bonitalawrence8436  He was an incredibly evil man, even worse than reported here.

  78. Good comment 👍

  80.  @rosaleensullivan5760  I suspect that happened 15 years ago when he died.

  81. Then why are you watching? Comparing 48 Hrs to Nancy Grace is insane.

  82. Move to Venezuela
    1
  83.  @cazi5759  Actually December 1995, making them 27, but you are essentially correct. Thank you.

  84. Was. Died in 2014 at age 59.

  85. For whatever reason, the cause of death wasn't reported. Dunno.
