Exploring an Abandoned Crime Scene Mansion - Parents sent to Prison!

Published 2024-02-01
Built in Colonial Style in 1938, this mansion would soon be home to a dark secret. Firefighters were called to the home when an alarm was going off inside because of the lack of oxygen in the air. When crews arrived, they had to call the hazmat team to even go inside. What they found was haunting, over 115 accounts of animal abuse, and animals living in horrible conditions. The parents both went to prison, and the home was surrendered to the police, and shuttered. Their only child was left behind, only about 12. Her life stripped from her, as she learns the dark truth of her family. She grew up to become an animal rights activist. Today, we will be learning the entire story as we explore this abandoned crime scene mansion. If you enjoy leaves a thumbs up and consider subscribing for more exploring content !

    Ok, I know this property personally! I rode through it as a kid and so did many horse owners in the area. This was not a dark house...it's original owners were author George Plympton's parents...Francis and Pauline. It was white with dark shutters and well kept. Mr. Plympton used to wave to us as he went down the long driveway in an old Rambler station wagon. He passed first. Mrs. Plympton donated the large meadow at the rear of the property to The Nature Conservancy upon her death, which promptly closed off access to horseback riders as they don't believe horses should ride on their properties...they're extremists. The house then remained on 7 acres. After the estate was settled these horrid people bought it and ran it to ruin. She a psychiatrist and he a dermatologist. They painted the awful colors around the house. On the day in question a friend and fellow horseperson who lives nearby was called by a local veterinarian the police had contacted to assist in examining and helping with the many necessary euthanasia needed on site. She told me how she cried the whole time...said it was the most horrific scene she'd ever experienced and it still haunts her. Late last fall the house finally went into a sales contract. As it can't be seen from the road I don't know whether they are gutting the interior or demolishing it for new. It was a lovely place until those sick monsters bought it. I can't believe he's still has his medical license!

    You would have thought two physicians would have had enough money for a housekeeper, a cook, a kennel for lots of dogs and several maids to keep everything in order.
  • Can you imagine what that little girl felt, when her whole world fell apart. So sad.
  • @somersetflower
    Sleep easy Emily after all your sadness and struggles, be sure you will be remembered for your good works not for your parents' hateful deeds. RIP ❤

    If you cant take care of your animals please surrender them to a shelter. I will never understand cases like this.😮😢
  • Emily Gladstein passed away due to a car accident. The young lady was 28. How very sad. And her father was a dermatologist. Not sure who it was in the comments that said the parents were psychiatrists, but not true. Emily passed in 2022 and was an animal rights activist.

    I went back to watch your 1st explore before going further. It's amazing to see what nature (and vandals) has done over 6 years. Those pics brought the explore to another level of sadness. Thank you for returning and also giving us the update on Emily.
  • @ladyryder703
    Thank you for taking us with you! Upsets me that Doctors( no matter what type) their job is to help others be healthy but obviously didn't care about animals.
  • @vickyginn7264
    Thank you for being so respectful of Emily and her family’s belongings. So very very sad to hear Emily passed away. The video tapes of Poirot were circa 1990’s and British actor David Suchet was the lead actor.
  • @user-randi1987
    Took a break to look up the story of this house, very sad. It was a beautiful home once but the neglect and abuse of the animals inside made it terrible. Something terrible happened here, for whatever the reason it was not good. Just because Emily had a beautiful home and lots of toys does not mean she had a great childhood. Rest in peace, young lady. Thanks, Devin
  • I love that you are so respectful of the things left behind. Also how you talk about the little girl with so much care and seems love. Definitely going to look for the first video.
  • The pain and suffering of all those innocent animals must linger in the air.
  • @vialogan
    Can you imagine being the patient of a doctor who is arrested for such a crime? Would make my skin crawl.
  • @andyderby150
    A lot of explorers will not show family photos, but the pictures really give you a feel of the history and of the home and you can feel the good times and the sadness of their lives, best exploring video I have seen.

    Wow, nature is tearing it down. Thanks for updating the story. I looked in a bit further and you know how internet research goes. The details of Emily's death have been kept quiet but apparently it is related to a car accident. She was living in Florida. She passed in June of 2022 at the age of 28 but she did have 2 other siblings that may have came after the animal cruelty charges against her parents. Everything was left because as soon as HAZMAT took control of the scene, they declared the mansion "condemned" and no one was allowed to enter it, not even the owners the retrieve any belongings. It was seized by the police department but later they (state) tried to sell it for 1.5 mil (SMH). I tried to find how long the parents were incarcerated but in appears that other than the initial jail time when officers found the home with the animals, they were arraigned and ordered to pay 142,000.00. There's no mention of a sentence for either parent and the father is still practicing dermatology now in the state but away from the area. I loved Emily's "rooms". When my daughter was an only child, the entire end of our house consisted of her "rooms" - bedroom, bathroom and playroom. She was an only child for 7 years and spoiled like Emily. Emily was precious. No matter how she passed, may God bless her with eternal rest. Her world was turned upside down and some children don't do well under those circumstances. I love the floral wallpaper! Ha! Great video. Take care, stay safe & God bless! xoxxo Kat Oh and there was 1 cat in the mix - I bet it stayed on the ceiling. Talk about walking on eggshells!!
  • The missing milk carton is referring to when kids would go missing in the 80s that they would put the missing kids faces on the actual milk carton.
  • @Kristinapedia
    I don't think this place was built in the 30's. I do believe it's from the late 1700's to mid 1800's. I'm researching it now. Often times, what it says in public record is when a house was renovated. I'm going to ask in a few genealogy groups to see if there's any historical information about it. You were almost in MY neck of the woods! About 45 min. away lol. BTW, the house was sold in 2022.
  • @artemis2666
    The music queuing in right as you began your approach toward the doll house made my eyes well up. I can feel the history of this house. It's very bittersweet. You can sense there were roots laid for joy to flourish...but clearly mental health issues choked the life out of this place & everything in it.
  • @vickisawyer7405
    I don't understand, how can the parents be so smart and let their lives and their children's lives be destroyed? All of those animals too. What the hell happened? I'm not the best housekeeper and my house might not be in the best shape, but my cats are fat & happy. They will never suffer any neglect. I just don't get it...
