i love how he prioritizes the victims, remembers their names and their stories. i feel like most of the time the murderers are the ones that are talked about way more than the victims.
Me three! Victims are often left out of their own murders. Thanks to all those who remind us of the people who have suffered. True crime is never entertainment.
I am humbled by Mr Swindle. I was a detective in the Met and retired in the early 1990's, and I had forgotten that there were men like him. In the last few years I have been embarrassed and furious and ashamed at the way police have behaved. Thank you for your professionalism Mr Swindle.
I think it’s great when people who work/ have worked at the police can look critically at that organization and wish for change. It feels like especially in America not many people are capable of that tho but of course I could be wrong.
@@Froggeleim a ex con low level hippe non violennt drug offender from the early 2000s. One pill landed me 10 years. . Zero tolerance state.... im 40 look 20 have zero debt and laugh that the judge who sentenced me is long dead ...cop who arrested me long got his...karma is real i wouldnt trade my life for the world
I could listen to David Swindle for hours. He's so respectful, knowledgeable and interesting. You can tell that his work was a life's calling, a vocation. I wish he'd do a podcast with some other former/retired SIO's and Forensic investigators. He comes across as a throughly decent bloke.I wish him all the best Great interview, thanks.
The scientist who he mentions in the Angelika Kluk case was actually interviewed by LADbible TV! I just watched her video, she describes having to crawl underneath the floorboards in the church to collect forensic evidence 😥 The video is called "How I caught a Serial Killer", and her name is Carol Rogers 👍
Thank heavens for people like this gentleman. His eyes looked so sad at beginning, the things he must have seen over his career. Grateful for his service 🇬🇧
Watching from New Zealand it doesn’t surprise me David was such a great detective. His memory of dates and names and instances is razor sharp and his compassion and determination for the family shines out of him. What a brilliant career.
The police get a lot of bad press… it’s people like you that remind the rest of us that we’re blessed to have officers like you solving the horrendous crimes the rest of us do. Excellent interview and great insight.
The police have a bad rep because of their behaviour. No doubt though that there are great apples like David among the rotten bunch. I only hope that one day the rotten bunch will be called out and won't be able to hide anymore.
So all the police brutality is ok then, since we've got one good police officer in front of us? All the other shitty or downright corrupt investigators don't matter as long as this one guy is ok? I like this guy, don't get me wrong, but the police are far too flawed and far too necessary to make sweeping statements either way.
@@CoRLex-jh5vx I’m not making sweeping statements. Where? I wrote the police get a lot of bad press… they do and often even deserve it… however I specifically spoke about this officer and didn’t in anyway give the force as a whole a clean bill of health.
@@DailyDamage "they get a lot of bad press" with no clarification that they deserve it 99% of the time definitely comes across as you defending them from all wrongdoing, whether that was your intention or not. 'Bad press' puts the fault on the press, not on the people they're reporting on for doing the shitty things that are then reported on.
This man has the most soothing voice - although he's talking about awful crimes he is talking with compassion for the victims & giving those people a voice, making sure we, the listeners remember the victim's names & not the murderer's names. Thank you David for your care & dedication to catching these hideous people.
Thank you for starting this video with an account about the victim. We should talk more about the victims and their experiences, and less about the perpetrators and their twisted minds.
I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Swindle speaking live earlier this year. A most engaging presenter with some fascinating stories to tell from his own career. He also laid out the realities of a complex criminal investigation and debunked certain aspects of the job that true crime buffs and armchair detectives might not have considered. For example, it's not practical or feasible to search all 40 homes that Arthur Scumbag lived in during his murder spree and dig up every garden - you need intelligence to narrow it down and hone in on key locations.
What a brilliant honest detective. You will be sincerely missed by your colleges now you have retired. Thank you for catching those evil monsters who should have hanged for what they had done to them poor innocent girls. My heart goes out to those innocent young girls and their families. Thank you again.
Professional and morally strong individual, respect. He made an interesting point about the importance of being calm and not rushing, so that you could take a step back to reassess your actions. The world rushes too much with their agreed to grow and naturally quality and care are lost.
Oh Jesus... how people can do this job and retain any semblance of normality is beyond me. An amazing interview with a truly amazing, caring and dedicated person.
The manner in which and tone of voice he’s speaking in immediately made me feel like I got a hug from a warm blanket lol. People raising their voices still terrifies me but I’ve also found voices like this are cure for the scared little girl in me. ❤❤❤ love the channel!
Thank God there are people born with such passions, to work in those fields, for the benefit of society *My heroes are not celebrities or sportsmen, but people like this gentleman, dealing with such tough jobs.
I've watched his show at the theatre. Really informative and fascinating insight into his career catching serial killers. The stuff he told about Peter Tobin made you feel sick!
What an amazing human! Thank goodness these people exist to serve their communities in such honorable ways. Incredible dedication and humanity on full display
The ending words. I have utmost respect for this man. What made me shiver though was when he described a serial killer and said: "Controlling, cunning individual whos a narcissist and enjoys talking about his favourite subject: himself" it hit me because it was like he just described my dad.
I love this man. I almost always stick up for the detectives, police, doctors, all of the people in these high pressure positions. Can you imagine the pressure they are under? Then if they make one mistake, they are vilified. I pray for them.
Wow, what amazing guy and detective! My uncle was a detective and it does take its toll on a person. You should do a podcast, I think it would be extremely interesting.
This was a fantastic interview. I especially appreciated his opinion/thoughts at the end on the nature of psychopathic individuals. Would love to hear more from him. Thank you!
I saw David's live show recently, it's worth seeing if you're interested in true crime investigations. He's obviously very passionate about bringing murderers to justice and has dealt with everything in the process from unpleasant crime scenes to incompetent superiors. He's entertaining and makes the subject engaging whilst keeping it grounded.
His work in the Peter Tobin case was amazing Police work. Not just all eight Scottish Police Forces working on that, but every force in the UK as a whole.
@02:56 It’s good to notice when someone answers a feelings based question, with a cognitive based answer. As in ‘how does that make you feel’ and the person gives answers that are rational, what they’re thinking, and with no mention of their feelings or describing their feelings.
Just want this chap to know I hope that these evil people have a change of heart that reflects how good a person this man is . And thank you for your care
Ive seen this chap on many the documentary,he comes across as a lovely,caring, professional and dedicated man.He is right serial killers love control,and ultimately they decide when and where someone will die
I’ll explain, the government wants citizens to be afraid. Because fear makes ppl irrational. The gov wants ppl irrational because they will consent to crazy policies. Therefore, the gov can get away with crazy policies. There it is, you’re welcome.
Because if life is given then there is more temptation to kill the child to eliminate any witnesses, although I completely agree that the sentences are far too lenient. Same applies for most crimes
Tobin must of done more than what he got caught for. Vile little evil oddball. Evil men are pathetic. Thank God for the dedication from people like this man to get thing's like that off the streets. RIP Peace to the victim's. Bless
Thank you to David for taking part.

Thank you for the link. Much respect, sir.
Thanks to everyone for the lovely comments. Great to speak to the team at Ladbible, amazing professional people.
Hi David, I’m from Glasgow and vividly remember when Vikki went missing. Thank you for catching this beast.
Do you think Tobin was also Bible John?
Thank you for your work Mr. Swindle.
@@garywilliams7086100%
Ur a legend sir. Please give your thoughts on the Bible John link with Tobin would love to hear your side
Do you remember Jackie McLaughlan (Gallagher),Paisley 1996?
i love how he prioritizes the victims, remembers their names and their stories. i feel like most of the time the murderers are the ones that are talked about way more than the victims.
A true good cop does it for the victims. A not so good cop does it for the name and recognition.
@annika.a that really touched me too (that he remembered the names of every victim). Feel lots of respect for this guy.
I just came here to say the same.
Me three! Victims are often left out of their own murders. Thanks to all those who remind us of the people who have suffered. True crime is never entertainment.
Well said. Thank you.
He’s exactly who you’d want working the case of a friend or family member. Intelligent, compassionate, strong, and dedicated. The best of the best.
What a genuinely nice guy! Could listen to him talk for hours. Can tell he’s so proud of his career
His show is touring the uk just now it’s absolutely brilliant. Such an interesting speaker and he comes out to speak to everyone at the end too.
Unlike so many detectives in his position, he seems to have so much compassion and light about him. 🥰
Subtitles wouldn't have hurt
@@samuelkeogh1058they have subtitles…

It's great that we get his perspective and the forensic perspective in a different video on the same case
This Detective is to be respected for sure. I knew Tobin before he committed his final crime, he was scary.
You knew him? How? What kind of scary was he?
Wow, what amazing guy and detective! My uncle was a detective and it does take its toll on a person.
You should do a podcast, I think it would be extremely interesting.

His work in the Peter Tobin case was amazing Police work. Not just all eight Scottish Police Forces working on that, but every force in the UK as a whole.
So you should be proud …. You helped bring some type of closure and justice for many victims & their family & friends.

I will never understand why child rapists are ever let out of prison. They don’t change. You cannot fix a sick psychopath.
