911 call from a brave survivor leads to the discovery of a SERIAL KILLER with a house of horrors
The events unfolded in 2019 in Ashland, Ohio, when a chilling 911 call triggered a series of discoveries that exposed a decade of horrifying crimes. Shawn Grate was found to have been keeping a woman captive in an abandoned home, and as the interrogation progressed, he confessed that two more bodies had been concealed within the property. His shocking admissions over the course of 33 hours revealed the extent of his abhorrent actions, leaving an indelible mark on Ashland, Ohio, and irreversibly changing the lives of numerous families.

Hi Danelle! You look beautiful, as always ❤
I was kidnapped at age 15 in 1975, it was terrifying, I have a long 3 month story, finally I freed myself and the police came because I was a minor I didn't have to go to court but they went to prison, I think I saved other teenager girls from the monster
"Can you get out of the house?"
No, obviously she can't. I don't think she is choosing to stay with him. UGH!
I have heard the entire 911 call and that dispatcher did nothing but question her throughout the entire call, she even wakes him up at one point and it's a miracle that she made it out of there alive due to that dispatcher keeping her talking.
Thank you for what you do
I also understand keeping her on the phone but she's clearly trying to not wake him up and the operator is asking dumb questions! "He's asleep? Where is he asleep? Which bedroom? In a bed? What color in the bed? Is he snoring?" Ma'am! Shut up!
Damn. Instant karma on that shady ass saleslady huh
WOW… I was born and raised in Marion Ohio. And also went to Tri Rivers. I'm a couple years older than him but wow.
‘You were walking with him?’ DOES IT MATTER RIGHT NOW
Am I the only one that’s pissed off with this operator?
I appreciate all the effort and research you put into this as I know it must have been troubling for you. I can't even imagine the fear and suffering these women endured. Nor can I even comprehend the anguish and loss of the family members who love them feel every day and will for the rest of their lives. We can't begin to ever fully understand this.
Has anyone ever said you look like another YouTuber called Stacy plays lol
I’m from Ohio and this guy is a MONSTER. Between him and the 2 Cleveland evil monsters (Anthony Sowell; known as the Cleveland strangler and Ariel Castro; the Cleveland kidnapper of 3 women who were held captive for over 11 years), Ohio has some terrifying excuses for humans. This is scary. 😢 RIP to all these victims and I’m so glad Jane Doe made it out. 😢
Law enforcement should routinely be checking abandoned dwellings – I think this every time I drive by a boarded up building – it’s the obvious place for criminal activity and especially for hiding abducted persons. If a property is not enhabited it should be taken down or routinely checked by law enforcement.
That operater is an absolute joke. She could of got that women killed. She already had the address she shouldn't of kept her talking
This is totally unrelated to the case, but you are so beautiful Danelle🥹
Calm and collected should be considered a red flag these days imo.
My heart goes out to this brave woman … God bless her❤
You tube tried to hide your name from me even though I’m a subscriber
I’m truly bothered by them making her talk so much, it could’ve costed this young lady her life 🤯🤬 I’m actually so grateful that he confessed to all the murders he confessed to. Had he not they would’ve never figured them out. I was just telling my husband the other night. I don’t under understand once these people get their whole life behind bars without the chance of getting or the death penalty that they don’t just admit who and where are the rest of the victims are located. It’s not like they getting out of jail.
I really wish people would stop releasing balloons ❌🎈
Your HAIR Danelle! You're glowing!
i didnt know stacey stanley but she was friends with a friend of mine and he took her death really hard.
I wish the 911 operator would have assured her that someone was coming to help her, she sounds so scared 😭 what bravery that took.
What a hero she is.
This 911 call is frustrating….I know the officers need information to know what exactly they are walking into, but perhaps in a situation like this…maybe plan for the worst? I don't know…
All of you complaining about the 911 operator: go listen to the case of Josh Powell and that horrible 911 operator who talked to the social worker when she dropped the boys off. Then you'll understand how good this lady is.
Already the 911 operator is pissing me off!
I fell off true crime for a while but 4/5 years ago i used to watch every single one of your uploads, it feels so nostalgic listening to you again.
Thank you for covering this case to warn others of red flags & to bring justice to the victims. & You look absolutely beautiful as always ❤❤❤❤
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a 911 call where the operator actually did a good job
The self control these detectives have is incredible.
please people, stop releasing rubber balloons! that rubber will fall into nature and not only will the rubber pollute but the strings will kill animals too…
Danelle you are beautiful and you tell good stories I remember Candace I'm also from Canton Ohio
Danelle you are beautiful and you tell good stories
I'm from Ohio
Do 911 operators get trained to be nasty? 🤦🏾
There's simply too many examples, not to ask this 😭
The Detectives did well, but Im wondering why they didn't ask about male victims?
