Flesh in the Pipes | The Disturbing Case of Adam Strong

[Music] hey you and welcome my name is mike and in this whole video okay we're going to ontario again so let's just get that out of the way first and in this story we're talking about adam strong who gave off very um strong vibes as you will see if i said in a good way i'd be lying the city of oshawa lies along lake ontario and in a certain apartment there well someone had a plumbing issue now plumbing you know doesn't come up terribly often when talking about these old stories but in this one it will solve it'll end up solving not just one case but two and we will learn a lot about uh mr strong who was not only a big fan of pipes but also himself so it gets real weird so uh buckle up now let's give it a go oshawa lies about 50 kilometers to the northeast of toronto it's made up of about 170 000 people and growing fast it's known for its automobile history its colleges and these days it seems to be the place you know to be as long as you don't run into adam strong like two people did [Music] oshawa is in the durham region which sits along that big old lake with oshawa harbor being a sweet old place to fish but on the 11th of september 2017 you would not want this to be your first catch of the day cause uh at around 8 30 p.m that monday the 11th an 11 year old boy and his grandfather were fishing away along the pier having a grand old time and as they were you know hooking for a bass and other fish in lake ontario they spotted something bobbing up and down along the water and well it wasn't a fish they called 911 after spotting a torso floating in the water not exactly a sight you'd want to see you know with your uh 11 year old grandson hey have a look at that murdered and dismembered somebody killed a woman and dumped her remains we are live over the oshawa harbor good evening the busy spot along the waterfront is now a disturbing crime scene the discovery made by a fisherman and his grandson they saw a torso in the water lots of questions tonight very few answers who was this woman where did she come from who wanted her dead it was recovered and it was a females a postmortem was undertaken as they worked to identify the remains well it makes it very difficult for our investigators to try to come up with an identification with very little so i know that we'll obviously have to rely on scientific methods whether it's a dna you know other other things that the pathologist might be able to assist us with they noted at the time the quote obvious signs of trauma i mean it was a human body minus everything else so not exactly off to a great start here the autopsy was inconclusive although you know i mean how could there not be a trauma when it's only the torso you're finding but they couldn't exactly say you know what killed this woman whoever she was it was ruled a homicide though it would be you know quite an accident if it wasn't it was eventually determined in november 2017 two months after it was recovered to be the body of rory hache rory was from oshawa and had been missing from there since the 29th of august 2017. roughly two weeks before she washed up rory was 18 years old and was pregnant at the time of her disappearance rory came from a biker family her grandfather was the founder of the satan's choice mc and he also boxed for canada her uncle a hell's angel rory was loved and was kind but she did have her struggles namely crystal meth and was homeless for a time her disappearance was well you know it is it's what can happen to those to the to the most vulnerable in society right but rory well she was she was trying she was she was living by herself she was supporting herself it was it was actually her guidance counselor who first who first reported her missing that was in late august and that was that so what you know what happened how did she end up [Music] what that wouldn't be answered until about a month after she was positively identified so late december and it wasn't exactly you know stellar stellar police work here nah it was a plumber actually though he probably uh wishes he hadn't on the 29th of december 2017 a plumber named sean farnden was called by the tenants on the main floor of 19 macmillan drive oshawa pretty close to downtown oshawa were backed up and he was there to fix your pipe so we rocked up what he probably thought was hey you guys should you know slow down on the on the guinness if that's the kind of mess you're leaving it quickly turned into i don't think what anybody could have imagined it would turn into so pipes blocked he got down you know started working away at them snaking them and he just couldn't seem to to get rid of the blockage right so he went down to the basement apartment right under where he'd been called to try and you know work it from that way in the basement apartment the toilet had been removed and he said the smell was with the toilet gone sean went to the kitchen to try and try and snake it from there and he said the occupant of the basement department was just pacing back and forth acting very very anxious and then oh man he pulled from the drain what he said appeared to be a flesh like substance it wasn't just flesh like he called his boss and they called the cops communications hi there how are you good again good thanks i'm just uh i'm a plumber and i'm on site for at uh a job and we've got uh we're snaking a drain and we were we've been pulling back uh we probably pulled back about 10 pounds 15 pounds of like it looks like flesh type of stuff meat and we started to think and we've been working on it for like three four hours now right oh okay and we can't get it clear but we keep pulling back chunks of you know whatever the hell it is at around 8 p.m an officer arrived to to see what was up right and and sean and his boss were waiting outside the apartment because they did not want to spend you know one second longer inside even though it was absolutely baltic outside they were waiting outside officer arrived they had a plastic shopping bag with them look at that it was a fleshy like substance maybe 13 to 14 inches long never eating sausages again he called for backup and four more officers arrived and went to the basement apartment under where the plumber had originally been called they knocked on the door hey buddy you know what have you exactly been you know flushing down the drains in the toilet um you know besides yeah the usual he said and this is a quote okay you got me the gig's up it's a body you want the rest of her she's in my freezer she's been de-fleshed his name was adam jeffrey strong inside adam's apartment they did indeed find the rest of rory's body inside garbage bags in a large freezer he kept in his bedroom i can only guess he didn't want to end up defrosting the wrong thing her blood was on the bedroom walls and ceiling and his semen was found on her body i don't somehow think he can get more disturbing and gruesome than not police once again confirming that they have found the remains of 18 year old rory hache the latest inside a basement apartment inside this oshawa home this after the teen's torso was found in the oshawa lakeshore nearly five months ago on december 29 a citizen alerted police after finding more remains in this basement apartment adam was arrested and charged with indecent interference with a dead body and until that moment he had not been on the police radar at all adam strong in 2015 was 45 years old and not really you know a huge bunch is known about him other than the fact that he studied the blade oh chill out there tough guy he worked at times as a security guard on movie sets though he had been fired from then twice as a gas station attendant and loved to be on the water on his boat he loved scuba diving and a bit of the l bdsm that's about it he was a fierce man for you know leaving the reviews on the el pornos sure you know yourself and also books about it so uh he was quite the connoisseur he didn't seem to be terribly lucky with the ladies though his ex-girlfriend cheated on him and afterwards she moved in with the new fella and that's when those who knew adam say he you know went off the rails one other woman who had relations with him said adam was controlling and abusive often choking her out and forcing himself on her tiny 100 or so pound frame adam had actually been in trouble with his landlord at that same address previously because um you'll see yeah i've never seen that i'm thinking out of myself everything is here nice by the bed i can smell this video it's actually kind of hard to find out too much about adam the authorities never really released much and it seems like he was kind of you know under the radar for most of his life the search of adam's home was actually delayed as when they went in they discovered a suspicious potentially explosive package neighbors were asked to leave but a robot dealt with it safely [Applause] tonight a loud bang in the heart of an oshawa neighborhood the controlled explosion of a suspicious package at the scene of a suspicious death investigation for durham regional police it turned out to be a pipe bomb so uh yeah yikes and they entered this house of horrors adam had been living there for 14 years well all this certainly looks like 14 years of shite and that's when the police announced that the victim found in the house was rory hashe you'll see in interviews with adam man what a prick adam how you doing had better days do you see upsetting no you're pretty calm the circumstances that uh uh i i i'm i'm a little concerned how calm you are there's no way you're getting around that i that i chopped her up there's no way and i understand that we weren't wondering if you chopped her up apparently the plumbing was all [ __ ] up in that house that aided in my capture and your capture yeah yeah for sure you know i was sitting down in my basement after the plumbers left and i was like am i gonna get over this i don't know should i leave now how much longer before it was it was all done in one evening oh yeah like this was all one piece and then this was all one piece i couldn't yeah sorry man i don't remember really yeah it wasn't it wasn't important to me man she's definitely deceased yes yes and and you uh clearly said yeah i disposed of her yes yes tried it but unfortunately was fella inadequate plumbing yeah and that's a freaking shame not for me for me yeah for you yeah yeah you sound really selfish when you oh wendy's triple yeah that's doable no pickles iced tea no ice um two um they're value um spicy chicken wraps and a grilled chicken caesar salad okay is that is that outrageous no that's doable is there any way i can get a cigarette anyway focus on caesar oh my god thank you i don't know how appropriate this is but i'd like you to pass on to her mother and her father my condolences these searches went on for a number of months with adam being charged and not a whole lot more being released he made the odd court appearance apparently when he did he laughed his head off because he lives in a society i'm going to be here at every court day i want the judge i want the crown and i want the public to see that um rory was uh she was not misplaced in life she had a family we love her we're going to represent her to the best of our ability during this case rory to me is everything hey i am not without my daughter i have nothing without her and um i really don't know what life's going to be like from this point on for my family because we're uh we're we're never going to be the same again after this some people are remorseful i didn't feel that i i'm really sorry i got nowhere to go other than that in july of 2018 seven months after adam had been uh initially arrested right still digging away they found the dna of a second woman in adam's basement candice fitzpatrick was last seen during the summer of 2008 10 years before adam strong was arrested that is a long time candice was 19 years old and get this she wasn't reported missing until 2010 which is absolutely bizarre i feel like there's only so long you can go asha she's grounded you know she'll show up at some stage don't worry about it based on the evidence we've we've examined to this point we have located uh the remains of rory and her dna in the residence and now the dna of this unknown female in residence at this point the other remaining missing female at the time was identified as candace fitzpatrick from the oshawa area a family had reported to the drps in 2010 concerns of her not having been seen since 2008 and she was 18 years old at the time i i felt raped from the get-go that this was a seasoned seasoned person that has done this before because my daughter was tough she was very tough and she would not have been an easy um catch for anybody to handle you know what i mean so i knew he knew what he was doing i had a feeling candy struggled like rory struggled she was homeless for a time dealth with drugs and well once again adam preyed on the vulnerable people in oshawa she was last seen yo leaving her home head into a mall and then never again now candice's remains haven't been found to date it was just her blood that was found like rory's in the freezer and just about everywhere else adam strong was then charged with two counts of first degree murder he pleaded not guilty i would like to and i i feel this to my my lawyer and he's he's not interested in it i don't understand why of spilling the beans and and being as comfortable as i can in jail not like a hundred thousand dollars like picked in but like like an allowance i don't know i i don't know like internet access like it's like i don't have anybody who's gonna buy me tv i i don't expect to get out of jail free card i don't i just want to be comfortable in jail man throughout his various court appearances pre-trial and all that he showed no emotion apart from you know like i said when the first one when he was laughing his head off other times he would refuse to leave his cell for a hearing the trial began proper in september 2020. so he pled not guilty even though you know when the police first rocked up he straight away admitted admitted in the police interviews he was like yep you got me what can i say the defense tried to rule him saying you know he had done it as a inadmissible right i mean may as well try i guess during the trial five women were headed to the stand they were victims of sexual abuse by adam and they would testify about a pulley contraption he used to find and restrain them starting to wonder if the meat pipes aren't the most disturbing thing in his apartment it's still not exactly sure how both women died i mean you know candice's remains have never been found rory she had a she had two skull fractures but the medical examiner couldn't um couldn't tell if they were done like before or after she had been killed and you know adam right he would be happy to tell the investigators yep you know chop them up did this did that but when they would ask you know how did they die how did he kill them he would you know i hope one day the light bulb goes out for you not that you're fine remorse but just for you to realize you could help some people feel better yeah the prosecution alleged they both had been killed either during sexual assaults or after they had been held by adam in his basement for some time he then shot them both up he most likely buried candy somewhere rory he dumped her torso in lake ontario and then tried to flush the rest of her down the toilet both were vulnerable young women essentially were kind of sort of homeless for a time from time to time both were drug users and worked at times as sex workers both frequented downtown oshawa neither had any personal connection to to adam they were just unlucky rory went missing on the 29th of august adam his his cell phone data location pointed to him being at the oshawa harbor on the 4th of september so maybe you know a week before rory's torso was found so she was in the water then for a further seven days though between you know when she was uh reported missing and when uh it's believed you know adam dumped her in the lake god knows what was happening and even then her torso was found on the 11th the rest of her not till december deterred it it's a long time for her to be in his freezer the defense tried to say that rory you know she most likely died of an overdose so she had used drugs before maybe she'd gone back on them and you know adam he panicked right and uh chopped her up and dumped her a lake in the freezer and a toilet candies well we don't even know what happened to candice so her dna her blood was found in his apartment could have been a nosebleed who knows you know the trial came to an end and the verdicts were read out in march 2021 adam strong was found guilty of the first degree murder of rory hashe he was found not guilty of first-degree murder of candy's fitzpatrick but guilty of manslaughter simply because not enough was was known about what happened and there was a severe lack of evidence when it was over ten years in the difference the judge found that strong murdered rory hashe while committing a sexual act and died of blunt force trauma to the head but because kansas body was never recovered while it was possible she met the same fate he was not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that she was murdered and found him guilty of the lesser charge the sentencing of adam strong it hasn't uh taken place yet that'll be in may he'll uh likely get the book thrown at him the whole kitten caboodle for you know all that life in prison right and i'm not sure if i was him if i would want to get out because he did um brutally murder the niece of a hell's angel you know i think a major thing in this one is how many years there was between candice and rory right almost a decade so i think it's i mean just look you know look at this place i think there could be very likely others somewhere he got away with candies for so long and rory was found kind of by accident i mean his own accident admittedly the police came out and said if you know someone who has gone missing in downtown oshawa in the central core of oshawa or oshawa in general you know in a place that adam strong may have frequented which ontario in general you know they said we would like to hear from you i have a feeling this won't be the last we hear of adam strong and i'm you know the police are on him for missing persons cases and unsolved murders you know in ontario they have to be i mean and i just kind of glossed over it but he had a homemade you know pipe bomb in his place like what was that about what was he going to do with it through some crazy and uh disturbing story i think adam had has all the hallmarks of a serial killer he's probably been active for a while he looks like one and probably smells like one too his play certainly does at least but he won't be getting out i don't think ever he'll be getting everything thrown at him and if he ever dis does get out i think he'll be the one ending up in a pipe i'm sure i hope he enjoyed you know that last uh wendy's meal he had in the police interview because the next thing he'll be eating will be you know prison bearers for the rest of his life bon appetit [Music] thank you so much for watching i appreciate it and i appreciate you listen go on here i'll see as always real soon in the next one till then please take care i love you [Music] you
