HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2025
- Everything started out as a normal Florida night for 32-year-old Lisa Story. In May of 1990, she went to babysit 11-year-old Robin Cornell, but when the child's mother returned home, she found a shockingly tragic scene. Both Robin and Lisa had been assaulted and asphyxiated. Who could have committed such a heinous crime? All evidence pointed to Joseph Zieler - but who was he and how did he know the victims? The Crime Atlas examines the murders of Lisa Story and Robin Cornell.

I thought this narrator sounded familiar......Crime Atlas puts out some of the best videos in this genre. I highly recommend everyone taking a look at them.
@GodLovesYou828 why are you using the internet?
@TJlundqvist Yes it does, love Crime Atlas.

@thecrimeatlas my favourite TC channel 👌
He tries to present himself as an invalid, then proves he is violent by attacking his attorney. Loved the attorneys response.
This guy is a living, breathing monster.
He's terrifying 😮
He is. I even had to back off some from my computer as I couldn't stand to be near his face. He is, without a doubt,, one of the most vile, loathsome, evil individuals I've ever seen. And, yes, I also find him terrifying. The way he moves his eyes around, how he holds his face, his hair, everything about him is so repellant.
I watch a load of true crime and I have to admit that this guy is the scariest dude I've ever laid eyes on! He's truly a demon in humans skin. He's on another level...
You got that right !
He's like a Charles Manson type of creepy
Everything about him screems "nasty creature", not human!!
@jivalucia3916
Hearing her scream for her daughter was bone chilling. What a primal sound. It’s the worst thing in the world. This poor woman. How awful
Heart-wrenching. So sad...
Gosh he's revolting. When he was being told off by the judge, he was smirking. Arrogant.
Evil and vile. Trying to say he slept with them and she didnt wash their sheets. He is so disgusting.
He's trolling the victims in court. He took this opportunity to inflict more harm to the victims. This is a textbook psychopath. They're more numerous than people think.
@@paulc-xj9ck Donald Drumpf.
Seems like coaching from his attorneys.
Thought his memory was gone...hes a liar!
This man is so vile 🤮
Telling a woman who just found her young daughter brutally murdered to "calm down" is infuriating and ludacris.
Disgusting ,cold unexceptable.
It does seem like it and the operator should act with sympathy and kindness. On the other hand, it's hard to get coherent information from someone who is yelling hysterically. And the operator needs that information to get the right help to them. It's kind of a darned if you do and darned if you don't situation.
Ludacris? The rapper?
Look up the word! You must be from the Bible belt south!@@TheRealCaptainFreedom
The Europeans narcissistic logic
Jan Cornell.. you are a Rockstar. I can't imagine the pain.. the despair.. the guilt. So much love to her.
She is strong , nobody deserves this.
The mother is so strong and so well spoken. I’m so glad she got closure at least.
She didn't
Shell never have closure HAHAHA😢
@@ForageGardener Exactly!!! Why people still use "closure" to describe someone getting justice is beyond me. "Closure" would be her baby and her friend coming back to life and she being made whole again. Since that won't happen then how in the world is there closure?
@@lafordgirl7549 That's not what closure means at all...closure is finally knowing who is responsible and seeing that person prosecuted.
@@AuntCathyPooh wrong!!!
I’ve known Jan personally since 2005 and she is one of the most strongest women I’ve met in my life. I’m so glad she’s finally getting justice for Robin and Lisa. 💜
I have a question. Why is the broken door not fixed? I am a single mother of two around that same time. We lived in a bad neighborhood South of Fresno, CA. My daughter broke our glass window. We boarded it with boxes until the following morning. I asked the landlord to have it fixed and I paid it with my limited income. I moved my kids out in that neighborhood to a better place. We kept moving to northern part of CA for a better job and 30 years later, I am now a grandmother of three and my kids are both professionals and I retired as a civil service.
@bengbeng208 I usually dont lock my doors. Quite often my doors are unlocked.
@bengbeng208 i dont lock my doors often and a lot of times, i leave my back door open, to get fresh air inside all night.
How sad. 😢
@@justmissjameyI always think that’s just asking for trouble. If I left my door open, I risk having wild animals getting in as well. There’s a ton of bad things that have happened over the years and people’s first response is, “they left their door unlocked, not anymore.” Why wait for something bad to happen? It only takes a second to lock a door. I couldn’t shower with the door unlocked either. 😱
Demons are walking among us every single day
AMEN!
Oh my gosh, I’ve been saying that for so long and it’s getting worse and worse every week. I live in San Antonio, Texas and I swear almost every single day there’s a shooting on the news if not several. And the missing Suzanne Simpson case is like 15 to 20 minutes from where I live. And Matthew and Savannah and their unborn babies bodies were found just down the street from where I live. Sheesh it makes me wanna move out into the boondocks away from people.
100% true. Its so scary now. So many have mental issues now seems like more than it used to be. Monsters everywhere
As St. Padre Pio, who was a very holy man and a spiritual visionary, said; "There are so many demons on this earth,that if you could see them with your physical eyes, they would block out the light of the sun."
well you obviously have not met my rich inlaws, they hide in plain sight and do more damage than this guy!
This mother is so strong and I’m glad she got the justice she deserved!
Hearing the mother at the end is absolutely heartbreaking she never gave up
I cheered with them, I knew Jan back in the early nineties. She had a standing weekly order with the florist I worked for. She would pick up the flowers and go right around the corner to the cemetery, if I remember we took them for her once or twice, but she never missed a week of flowers. After having my own child, and watching this, I think about her eyes then, she was so very sad and you could feel it.
That is heartbreaking 😢 Jan’s an amazing woman.
@ she truly is, I have a lot of respect for her resolve to continue fighting. As a mother I can’t imagine her pain.
She says "please hurry I think my daughters dead" and the first thing the operator says is "ma'am calm down". On what planet does that make sense? Like you're supposed to take a deep breath and just be ok in that moment ffs.
Exactly.. I feel like being annoying and frigid is part of the requirements to be an emergency operator 😅😅
Bruh. Go try being a 911 operator. Their job is to get accurate info asap and relay it.
@UMadUCauseBad wasting time by telling people who are frantic to calm down is useless.. I mean she just saw her daughter lose her life 😅 its only normal for a mother to go insane after seeing that.. and that mother did a great job keeping calm considering the situation..
There need to be higher standards for 911 operators; perhaps they should use retired first responders who have extensive training like police academy and lengthy experience. Every second counts on these emergency calls, and I have watched too many true crime videos where the 911 operators showed inexcusable incompetence or total lack of empathy.
She might not have understood her. 911 dispatch often has old equipment. Plus, the background noise, makes it difficult to hear. Also, 90% of the 911 calls you answer are not emergencies. It is very difficult to get information and understand people when they are screaming. Could this 911 dispatcher just be an a55hole? Yes, it's possible.
But it's more likely that she couldn't understand what the caller just said. I certainly wouldn't tell someone to calm down if they just found a dead relative.
I am in awe of this mother's strength. I would have died from grief or rage. Bless her and all the people impacted by this horrible, sickening cruelty.
I feel like you 😢
Glad he got the ultimate penalty, Jan you had me in tears when you thanked the team behind you for the justice. Wow I was so moved.
He’s evil. The look on his face, the arrogance. He’s blaming the victims. What crap
Ughhhhh. Right?!!

@@azizaalihonou7680literally so easy to draw
@@azizaalihonou7680That’s the least of his issues! But factually true.
Can't see how he didn't do anything else in the 25yrs he wasn't caught
Right‼️
Most likely did
He’s a sicko. I’m sure this wasn’t his only crime
We just don’t know about it.
isnt it almost 35 years
The mother is an incredible woman…. Much respect to her.
Don't forget her friend that stuck by her and felt her pain.
What a evil piece of crap to attack his lawyer for doing his job he did this to himself not his lawyer that just goes to show that he is a violent man
He's definitely cray cray! Showed his real true colors by upper cutting his lawyer! Not a smart move lol.
The lawyer straight up didn’t wanna prepare a case lmao
He showed who he is at that moment. He is vile…
These people never want to take responsibility. Your lawyer didn't commit the crime. He's defending you...he wasn't there doing the crime.
A lawyer doesn’t defend a criminal. They’re defend their rights.
In the world’s history of calming down, nobody has ever calmed down after being told to calm down.
So true😂😂
I've ALWAYS thought this statement in particular was one of the dumbest and most insensitive things u could ever say to someone.
150%
Calm down
@@macairhead5137 FACTS 💯✔️
It had a girlfriend? How? Who!disgusting coward.
the girlfriend is surely as disgusting as him

At least she didn't cover up for him and his lies, she told them he is the liar
Bless the mother! I cant even imagine the strength, physically and mentally.
All these yrs. Shes a warrior. No one knows her battles

Never too late
Dumbest statement ever
@@beng4647not exactly, at least they got justice. 1/3 of all murders go cold or unsolved.

So you would prefer no justice?? Weird take, but okay. @@beng4647
@@beng4647 Women aren't logical. The fact is it was way too late.
Oh my darling, you are such a brave lady. You just described how I felt when I discovered my baby son dead from SIDS, I remember begging the ambulance man to bring my son back, that there had to be a miracle, that he could be brought back. I begged and begged till my throat was sore, I was “bargaining” with them but deep down I knew he was gone, when I first picked him up, he was stiff and felt as light as a dead bird. Thank you for sharing your story.
❤😢
So sorry for your loss❤️
I’m so sorry
Mama, I'm so sorry about your little boy 😢 💔
I can’t even imagine 💔😭 it’s my biggest fear
Trash, can’t believe he sent the threatening letters to the victim’s family.
And suddenly his memory returned so he could remember all that 🙄
When did he send letter
@@kimthreadgold2755 From prison while awaiting trial
@@kimthreadgold2755exactly
The fact that the prison let him send those letters too like wtf? Don’t they monitor all communication? 🚮
What a pos...first he murders Robin and Lisa...then he attacks Robin's mom during testimony trying to walk free! 😢
Much respect to the mom for not giving up.
What a despicable man!
Killers public defender unfazed, "I used to box, I've taken better shots than his."
Is the killer still alive
Rest in Peace sweet angels. Bravo to the mother who never lost hope.
Those eyes are what nightmares are made of.
No mother should have experienced finding their dead kid brutally murdered, while returning home, having left that dear child with a babysitter who was killed too😢
Omg! Wait I missed that part. Did the family of the babysitter come?
What a foul man
Monster. He is a Monster not a man
Full of demons.
Yikes. That guy is scary looking.
Evil
that hair cut is an additional crime
😂😂😂 creepy looking dude
It looks like a slice of pizza 😂😂
And teeth.. I think he got some discount teeth put in
Looks like he told the barber to give him "the hitler." Surely THAT will win the jury over
And it looks like he combed it with a pork chop ☠️
You find your little daughter dead and the 911 operator instead of empathizing tells you to calm down. How do you calm down after finding your child murdered?
That evil monster murdering people for no reason.
I can’t believe these 911 operators say that! Why not just reassure her that help is on the way?
@iamyou8416 the 911 operator needs the person to calm down enough to relay information, such as location, situation, safety, etc...while receiving this information LE and paramedics are on the way.
Sorry, but don’t be ridiculous. All 911 operators need to get information quickly in an emergency, so of course they have to tell people to calm down 🙄
the operator was trying to get more information , you can't give out information when you're panicking
@@SashaUK-tl9nl Her daughter was dead. The operator had plenty of time to calm her down without just ordering her to calm down. I feel like you are just a young person who hasn't lived with much family tragedy or hasn't lost a loved one very close to your heart. You'll learn why some of us are upset about the 911 operator. Or maybe you have no compassion or empathy? IDK>
He's terrifying. When i looked at _him_ eyeballing the state's attorney his eyes were just dead. I cannot imagine he looked any different the night he murdered Robin and Lisa. He's just horrifying to look at with those lifeless eyes and that $2 suit bunched up around his shoulders and those monster's teeth?
So frightening that there are millions of Zeilers walking among us. JFC.
I used to walk to school with Robin. The first funeral I ever attend. I still remember it vividly after all these years.
Why is he holding onto that last tooth.? Pull it! The others aren't coming back😢😢
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 your comment took me out!
lol. This comment is gold! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jan is such a well-spoken woman. Her speech at the end was beautiful. She's so strong for her daughter & friend. It's just unfortunate that she had to be.
I feel terrible for this mother. I don't even know how you go on knowing this happened to your baby girl.
Jan. I wish I could hug you through the screen. The support is with you and I am so sorry for your suffering. I’m grateful you were able to find the horrible monster who did this and that justice will be served.
What a strange combination of danger and cowardice this man is.
Yeah he picks on little girls and women.
That's a really accurate description
A dangerous combination.
Exactly, and concisely put. Ty.
The defense attorney asked: "Why the defendant's DNA wasn't taken 26 years ago, because he wasn't a susect.".
What a crap! senseless logic!
It's so awful to listen to a mother speaking about their child's death and just all out crying but to me seeing this mother speak of her daughter monotone like that its even worse. Just seeing her numb and just feels like she's dead inside because of the pain she went through
Those cops deserve to smile, they never gave up on Lisa & Robin and bringing justice to Jan and Lisa's family.
Bless you Jan for your determination and strength. May you find some sunshine one day.🤗♥️☘️🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
He so creepy!! So scary! My heart breaks for the victims💔💔
"My daughter's dead" "Ma'am, please calm down for me." Horrible 911 dispatcher.
Much respect to Cape Coral law enforcement! Not only did they diligently track down Zieler but most recently Wade Wilson!
What is strong Mom. Her daughter would be so proud. That’s one dedicated Mom. Bless her heart.
Her daughter never left her.
Mrs. Cornell, you are a very strong, dedicated mother and I'm happy at least that justice was served. How you went though the loss of your daughter and then to have to sit and listen to this monster through the trial. My heart goes out to you and your family.
What a very disturbed sick man..
Agree.
He isn't sick, he is evil
Woman finds her daughter deceased, calls 911. Response from 911 is "just calm down"? Wow.
Kudos to this content creator!! He or she doesn't bring the b******* the constant interrupting and rhetoric!!
I am 62 years old, and I have been reading and watching true crime since the age of 19!! This creator rocks!!
How could that lawyer stand up and defend this monster???
They’re court appointed (have to be defense attorneys) w/only option to be removed, would have to be from defendant then decided by a judge.
He actually said that it's his pleasure and privilege to defend this monster.🤮
@@jenniferscott375 because its their job. If they don't do their job, he could appeal and drag everyone through another trial.
@@chonkcat7362 I understand that. But for him to state that it's his privilege and pleasure to defend him was gross.
Well he got his thanks from the POS defendant, didn’t he?
please let this incident be a warning to you. Lock your slider door if you have one always keep it locked. when I was younger I met two boys in the neighborhood that I had just moved into. and they brag to me about all of the homes they had burglarized in the neighborhood. and I remember this one quote: " nobody ever locks their sliding glass door". basically that's what they told me was their secret to their many burglaries.
Not only do I lock mine I have a bar that goes down for added security. It was built into the door when I moved in. I used to put a bar or piece of wood in my main floor sliding windows as well. Just in case someone ever found a way to get the windows unlocked, they'd never be able to get them open without smashing the glass.
@@LovenEverythingNailssame here. Lock it & brace w/board! Sux though when one locks themselves out of the house…🤭
Yes, screen door locked, actual door locked, and a piece of bar/wood for added layer. Home Alone style and add sharp-like toys/legos along the way/entrance 🤨 Also smart to get those device that make alarm/noises when the sliding door loses “connection” after it’s been opened that sets it off (I can’t recall the name of the devices)
You do recall that the narrator explained that one of her doors didn’t lock because it was broken, right? If she was renting, that was on management.
I often forget to lock my back slider door, as my dogs like to go in and out often. *THIS* is my reminder to always check it before bed.
Wow what an amazing lady Jan is! Bless you for your courage and dignity. My heart goes out to you ♥️
When he was on the stand that is the face of PURE EVIL!
I am really impressed with the police department for relentlessly following up on case for decades until justice served.
I could never be a lawyer for a person who could be guilty.
I dated a fine man who was a fine lawyer, and they are required to do a certain amount of pro bono work for the benefit of the public....he had to defend a man that did something so horrible, it just took a day or two to try him and get the death penalty and my friend, the lawyer was forever traumatized by having to even speak to the monster
This was so touching. I am happy she lived those decades to see her child's killer get a life sentence. Her speech at the end was so beautiful. All those sleepless nights for 26 years, and she held it together.
When the mom and Lisa’s boyfriend were thanking everyone at the end I just broke down 😭💔 26 years waiting for justice! To know some people never have this closure! RIP Robin and Lisa.
3:45 tht scream really scared me so bad and at the same time broke my heart into a millon pieces... I pray to never ever ever😢💔💔💔💔
Absolutely disgusting, vile excuse for a human being. I feel so sorry for Robin’s poor mom having to sit through that trial and looking at that piece of garbage.
He looks like he could be a creepy side circus clown.
He probably was.
He's the clown 🤡 known as IT. 😳
@@alphaomega1351 For sure!
Right, but what other atrocities has he committed while still being free? No way has he just been Mr. Nice Guy.
Soo Scary Face Omg 😩😱
Don't tell her to calm down.
If you have never seen evil before………you have now. This man is pure evil
His defense attorney is his evil minion too. They are two nasty monsters. No defense attorney should attack the victims or jury and judge, they should make it possible for their client to get through the trail and don't lie about their defense because they made them look even worse adding themselves to the negative views as well. They should accept a loss just like they accept a win.
I hate dispatchers sometimes. That woman was as calm as she could be. Telling her to call down is ridiculous. I know they have to get the information but that sounds like someone who has lost their bedside manner given the audio clip provided. Of course she was frantic, but compared to other calls she was easy to understand in that moment. I could be wrong, but geez😢
Agree. Just awful.
You're not wrong.
When they are @least half way calm, then they’re scrutinized to no end, because *they didn’t show enough ‘emotion’ when calling into 911!
You could see at his face that he will snap
Right I wouldn’t have got that close
EVERYthing about this "man" is disgusting, even his voice!!! Creepy all over!!
Still beyond me how some lawyers are literally fighting to get demons and monsters back on the street
He had a long term girlfriend!? RIP Robin Cornell RIP Lisa Story... It took a while for Justice but it did arrive.
Several decades! She must have been a masochist.
This man is the lowest of the lowest.
Pathetic excuse for a man hopefully he never gets out of prison!!
A vile coward to the end 🤨. Always quality content from The Crime Atlas 👏👏👏
This guy gives a whole new meaning to the word creep.
What about the DNA found on and inside the bodies? Under their nails? Also, why was he allowed to send mail to anyone from jail without it being checked and read..especially when he is contacting his victims mother?
Unfortunately the only mail that's read is the outgoing, you have to report it to your Attorney that the, Suspect is harassing you.
@@DawnRoache-y9n You mean incoming, I think because his mail would be outgoing. For that matter, I would imagine that he was warned not to have contact with the victim’s family and the jail employees should’ve been watching who his mail was addressed to to make sure that he was complying. Figures he would pull such a stunt.
What a putrid defense. Barf bag.
What a powerful story of determination, persistence, attention to detail of the whole group of people from day one to all those years later who did such an amazing job. And to Jan and loved ones, peace and condolences for your loss.
What he says while on the stand is way out there. Especially after what the defense attorney said at opening.
That face, he is so disgusting! Ugh...👹👹👹
IKR....Like a cartoon character or from a slasher movie. He is totally repulsive in the extreme.
The most repulsive creature I've ever seen !
What a nightmare he is 👹
I totally admire that mother for patience and resilience if that would have been my kid and friend and he said that BS there wouldn't have been enough officers in that courtroom to hold me back
I wish dispatch stop saying calm down.
Well his appearance sure doesn't help 🤮 he looks absolutely disgusting and scary, his eyes are evil. RIP to Robin and Lisa ❤ 🕊 I can't imagine what they went through
Well done, Jan! My heartfelt condolences to you for your tremendous loss, and for having been the victim of this psychopath. Unfortunately, there are so many of these sadists among us everywhere - even (especially?) in positions of power, which is their drug But you did not give up! I know your daughter is and will always be with you
May Robin and Lisa Rest Forever in Peace, and may their loved ones find comfort and peace forevermore❤️🩹🕊️🕯️🕯️
24:16 Yeah, the brutal abuser doesn't even show one iota of remorse for his despicable actions?
