THE BRUTAL MURDER OF ACTRESS REBECCA SCHAEFFER | Real Life Crime Scene and Her Grave

foreign what's going on everybody how you doing today here I am in Los Angeles California I'm on Beverly Boulevard a very famous Road here goes east west to the city right near the Fairfax District that's nice and quiet right near the um right near West Hollywood beautiful streets all around me this is Florist Street Flores Street look up there in the Hollywood Hills when you make it you go up there that's where you live Hollywood Hills Beverly Hills holmby Hills and when you're an epic Comer you got to live in some smaller places which are still by any other standard beautiful nice houses now today I'm going to be talking about the murder of actress Rebecca Schaefer now you may not know the name but you probably know the story right it's your loudness person you probably know the story it's somewhat well known especially back when it happened because there was a lot of publicity about it she was a young actress living here in Los Angeles she was on a successful sitcom called my sister Sam with Pam dauber Mindy from Mork and Mindy and sadly Rebecca Schaefer was killed in the doorway of her apartment an apartment looking house just one speed over by an obsessed fan an obsessed fan named Robert Bardo I'm going to get into the story but I thought while I was here instead of going right to the house right away I am going to be flying to Portland Oregon to where Rebecca is laid to rest she's from Eugene Oregon and um I thought what I'd do is because the morning that he took her life Robert went for breakfast before he did it he'd already turned up at her place once decided to go back walk around and had breakfast there's a place called Jan's at 84-24 Beverly Boulevard and then just to show you how close it is I'm gonna get more into the story and tell you more about Buffalo especially Rebecca because quite frankly Robert uh Bardo I don't really care to give much information about him other than what he did and oh one thing I was reading this morning was in 2007 he's still in prison he's serving life in prison uh in 2007 he was stabbed 11 times by another inmate he found two ships nearby dma said yeah I did it and the inmate was already serving time for um second degree murder 82 year sentence you know I've always said I'd rather instead of the death penalty I'd rather see somebody get sentenced to life for violent crimes get into a cell that gets smaller or smaller and smaller I think that's a punishment worth and death especially for brutal brutal killers and I always said though when it comes to the family I kind of you know it's what if that happened to my daughter my wife my mother something like that or anybody who's talking about female in this scent in this case happened to anybody in my life I'm close to friend a father or something like that I may want revenge or I may want somebody to get it for me so I can't speak for the shaver Family but wherever that inmate is that did that 11 times bad job hope you suffered I do is what he did it's horrific to a woman in the prime of her life about to have it all so it is loud but we're getting close it should be right around King's Road I think yeah Kings Road here it's 84-24 the building still stands but it's no longer a diner should be right around here somewhere move it Kia coming through I have a feeling it's gonna be where that yellow uh awning is I have just a feeling when I just react I'm looking for 84-24 where the building is 83.66 that's maybe a bit of a further walk than I thought further it's 8408 now maybe it's where Chipotle is now we're looking for 84 . needs to be called Jans now I got a little confused my head because the story is somewhat similar to the murder of Dominique Dunn that I did a couple years ago now learned by her boyfriend he worked in a restaurant I was thinking oh yeah this guy Robert Bardo worked in a restaurant but no no no he was just here having having a quick little breakfast something to eat before he went off and did what he did and here it is right here is now California or caliph Chicken Cafe but this used to be called jams oh it's antripality they're in the same building sort of thing this is what the building looks like this is where he had breakfast [Music] probably not his last meals of free man because he did leave California was caught in Arizona but significant nonetheless so we're looking at let me show you see that billboard in the middle that says Wanda Sykes that's roughly where Sweetser Avenue is and that's where to make a right down there is where the house is and we're gonna walk back there right now all right now Prime of her life Rebecca Schaefer she was on the cover of 17 magazine and that's how she was a working actress she was trying to be you know trying to be an actress she had a small part in Radio Days a Woody Allen movie but her part was cut way down I think it's only appears in like one scene but she was uh cast from the cover of 17 magazine and got the part in my sister Sam and that was a big break to say the least I mean in the 80s Pam dauber was huge so her own sitcom apart from Robert Williams was a big deal and to be cast as a supporting player on that is something that not a lot of people get an opportunity to do pretty incredible so originally Rebecca Schaefer lived with Pam dauber but then the show was canceled in April 1988 and she moved to this house that we're going to be going to in a second shortly thereafter she's in quite a few 80s movies and she was in one called scenes from the class struggle in Beverly Hills and apparently it was that scene that made the obsessed fan Robert Bardo just well for lack of a better term go off the deep end apparently in the movie it's been I think I saw it it's been a long time she appears in bed with another actor and he was enraged by that and he said that Rebecca Schaefer should be punished for quote unquote becoming another Hollywood so about Robert Bardo he was first obsessed with the child actor's name Samantha Smith she died in a plane crash which I'm very very sad then he became obsessed with Rebecca Schaefer he wrote numerous letters to her one of which she answered I believe she sent him a photo something like that in 87 he traveled to Los Angeles here to meet with Schaefer she didn't know about this meeting of course it was all on his head Warner Brothers security tournament way at the set of my sister Sam he returned a month later with a knife the security guards again prevented him from getting access to the set went back home to Tucson Arizona and kind of lost he wasn't so much obsessed with Rebecca anymore he started being obsessed with Tiffany Debbie Gibson Madonna but then he saw that scene and scenes from the class struggling Beverly Hills and that set him off so there's another stalker who killed an actress named Teresa Saldana in 1982 Arthur Richard Jackson and Bardo had learned that Jackson is a private investigator to obtain Teresa Saldana's address so then he paid a private detective and Tucson to find Schaefer's home here in California from the DMV Department of Motor Vehicles and his brother helped him get a handgun family that's what family does for each other right here we are at the street so this was his third trip to Los Angeles and he roamed the neighborhood where Rebecca Schaefer lived and it's right here this is the streets he was walking up and down Schaefer was in the apartment apartment four it's right there on the left we're gonna go right close to us so don't uh where I'm not going to be standing here She Was preparing for an audition for The Godfather Part three that would be huge for young actors for a young actor for anyone The Godfather Three that is a big deal she was expecting a script to be delivered so she answers the door when he rang the doorbell it was Robert Bardo not the script so he showed her a letter in the autograph that she previously said to him they had a short conversation she said okay please don't come back here and then he went to the diner the one I just showed you he returned about an hour later he rang the bell again she came down she's expecting the script right back in the day there was no ring camera there's nothing like that just buzzed she came down not expecting at all what was about to happen not having a clue this is how I mean you we I've talked about this on another video when celebrities have so much security why do they have so much security this is why examples like this John Lennon Teresa Saldana Rebecca Shafer this is why so when you see celebrities traveling with people with security I mean they have to there's people out there that either want to hurt them or think they're close to them and they're not she answers the door apparently with a cold look on her face is how he described it he pulled out the gun shot her in the chest Point Blank Range apparently her last words were why she was rushed to the emergency room of Cedar Sinai Medical Center she's pronounced that 30 minutes after her arrival is right there in that doorway apparently he was caught on Interstate 10 in Tucson he was running through traffic erratically and immediately confessed to the murder Marcia Clark from the O.J Simpson trial she was the one who prosecuted this case he is convicted of capital murder since life in prison now what's interesting is federal law regarding the release of personal information through the DMV was changed because of this the driver's privacy protection act came into effect which prevents the DMV from releasing private addresses the murder of Rebecca Schaefer also helped pass the first anti-stalking laws [Music] Rebecca was dating a man named Brad sieberling he made a movie called Moonlight Mile in 2002 which is about a man's grief after his fiance has murdered said to be based on Rebecca Schaefer's murder during the trial it's interesting that Bardo said that the song exit by U2 one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands helped influence him and when the song was played the trial he mowed along to it people have interpreted that song in many ways and you know like with lyrics by [Music] let's see Twisted Sister Ozzy Osbourne uh Eminem YouTube people can take lyrics and twist them into whatever they think they are whatever they want them to be exit's a good song and nothing to do with the murder of Rebecca right here apartment four so now I've told you the story of what happened to Rebecca we're gonna go pay our respects in Portland Oregon so I'm going to be doing that in a few days not driving flying and continue the story there although essentially is where the story ends but for her family it doesn't end and it's never going to end and together you and I we're going to pay our respects to Rebecca Schaefer let's go [Music] [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so I've made it to Portland Oregon I'm here at ahava Shalom Cemetery just a little um I guess south of downtown south of downtown and made here to visit Rebecca started Los Angeles brand new here in Portland and I'm gonna walk over to our Graves we'll be right over here and if you watch my channel while you know that um I leave a rock or stone at every grave I visit and this is the Jewish cemetery which is it is a Jewish tradition so if you look around there is actual places atop the graves four rocks specifically and then some people come out and place them on the headstone as well as when they're you see another one over there a few over there so yeah this is very very interesting this is a Bittersweet coming here Rebecca should be right around here somewhere and probably where some of the more yep right where all these rocks are right here so here we are beloved daughter and courageous Spirit Rebecca Lucille Schaefer November 6 1967 to July 18 1989. I am so wise to think love will prevail I am so wise RLS 1989 so she wrote that if you're looking for Rebecca it's gonna come in the France it's a very small Cemetery there's a strange Water Tower and everything go past it turn left uh walk right here and there is a pin on finding the grave which will be very so very easy to find and lots of people come out here there's a stone everywhere all at the top I've got one to add of course specific what some design ones one here that says Marie Winton 2018. I know a Marie Winton that's interesting and she lives in Portland [Music] [Music] so not only do I know a Marie Winton you're in Portland I know that exact Marie Winton who left that stone because Marie is right here with me how's it going to go Marie is uh you've seen it on my channel before one of the first people I ever collaborated with I mentioned that and we've met up today and you were here so this that has been here for five years I can't believe it's still all here wow um I do a lot of arts and crafts and painting and so I painted this tile the other side was black with a red heart but that has faded but the other side has my signature it's still here let's throw that again so there it is there and you can see a couple of rocks have fallen off we'll play so is back it looks like an old sunflower some of these rocks have fallen back but yeah so that had a heart on the back yeah it was painted black with a red heart wow so you were telling me a little bit about Rebecca um she went to Lincoln High here yeah yeah they they don't right right but yeah her parents are this is where she's been her formative years right Portland Oregon beautiful I love it here so beautiful and then we're in a one of one of the more beautiful Cinemas I've ever seen and it's so well kept but it's so sweet that they leave because of all these raised Graves headstones they leave something like that for five years you know fresh flowers over here but yes I'm gonna think this gentleman here these could be here for look at the skull mug or skull thing but yeah these could be here for how long who knows there she is okay well Marie thank you for coming out with me and Rebecca uh Shaffer she changed a lot I was taking on my alley like the stocking laws how to how people get licensed adjectives from license plates this is all California but stocky laws for all of America so I you know when people say someone's death is in vain it's not in vain I get it but I think the person that died it's not really doesn't really help them do you know what I mean like not to be Craftsman it's like well they had to pay the ultimate price for positive change of course but let's hope I was I probably said it I'm sure it did back in La it's been a few days since I found but Robert uh Bardo who when you did the video you didn't mention his name nope I think I called him scumbag yeah dirt bike scumbag it all fits it all fits for this you didn't reserve my no naming of him in my no let's hope wherever well we know where he is I said where he is that hopefully burning burning did you know that he was uh stabbed I think it was I think 11 times in prison I fellow with me 2007 I think I said the inmate was serving eight I said this already yeah he's the inmate was serving 82 years for second degree murder wow wow and two Shives he used on him homemade shifts jail made ships so up until 2007 it seems like scumbag was having a difficult time in prison and I hope that continues Karma yeah yeah hope it continues for him uh but Rebecca so beautiful so young so talented rest in peace Marie thanks for coming along okay and recipes Rebecca thanks for watching everybody love you all peace out
