I'm so glad you've covered this case. I'm a huge fan of yours and I had the absolute privilege of meeting Emma several times when she was head of Croydon High School. Personally touched to see you speak about her. Something you may not know, Emma was a huge advocate of making private education accessible to all. She forged a relationship with a foundation that gave children from less affluent families the opportunity to recieve free, private tuition to prepare them for secondary school exams. My daughter was chosen for the programme and she's now absolutely thriving at the school, with a bursary and an opportunity I could never have provided on my own. Emma was a huge part of that and she was truly one of the kindest, most amazing human beings I have ever met.
Perhaps but this is hardly the time or place for that argument right now is it. This is about a Mother and her young daughter having their lives stolen. I don’t think there’s any privilege you could have offered their family to make them agree to that!
@@ThePinsayshe wouldn't have had the power to change education for all but she was obviously trying to do her best to give as many as possible the opportunity and would have accomplished a lot more if she didn't have the opportunity taken away from her
I'm a teacher and reading that your daughter was provided with this life changing opportunity is so lovely and is a testament to part of the legacy Emma will leave behind. 🤍
Those of us who've loved & lost felt every word of that beautiful poem.. one of the most touching things I've ever heard. RIP in each others arms little Lettie & Emma.
Oh Em, the way you read that wonderful poem at the end of your presentation has me in tears. What a beautiful tribute you have made to Emma and Lettie in telling their story. You are a very special person and your subscribers love you for it. Thank you xxx
I'm glad that you cover these type of cases! Back in 2020 one of business partner annihilated his soon to be ex-wife, her boyfriend and their one-year-old daughter chased his 8 year old down the road in the middle of nowhere, she survived it, she's only one out of all of them, he took his life when he couldn't catch her. It hurts me how senseless it all was! It's nice to hear somebody from your profession explain the psychological part of such tragedies.
Do you know how the daughter is coping? It will haunt her forever, and PTSD is a horrible thing. I can't imagine the trauma of what you described play out and having your father try to kill you too and then take his life when he failed to do so. I hope that she has a good family to take care of her, and she manages to navigate these upcoming teenage years, which can be rough even without the trauma the child you are describing endured. I have been busy, and I have only just got an opportunity to listen to this, but I always read the comments, and yours stuck out! Family annihilation is SUCH a tragedy every single time!"
@@michellesartori6695 Thank you for caring about the situation that she went through! That is actually how I got into true crime so I could try to understand why someone would do this. The individual that did this actually cut off everyone's heads and that poor girl had to see all of it happen. I know that she had seven other siblings that were not living in the household from a previous relationship from their mother. So, she has a good family basis to go forward with. The hardest part is knowing that the "father's" family rationalizes for that individual aka the "father" who did this's behavior. I really wish this story would be told because she is a survivor and I feel like her story has not been told. This includes her mother, her baby, and her boyfriend and the detrimental effects of his long term use of party drugs "aka acid, mushrooms, and MDMA" and how it can affect the mind to the point of causing said issue. As someone who has CPTSD and has gone through a lot of childhood trauma, I can't even begin to understand how much that little girl has gone through and what she deals with every single day. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her and hope that she has the strength and resilience to move forward in life in the most positive way possible.
Hey Emma! I just received my copy of The Serial Killer Nextdoor… when I asked my Alexa what was my notification, she said, “from Amazon shopping, 2 packages have arrived, including the Serial Killer Next Door… my husband said, what? You’re having criminals delivered now?!?! 😂
That poem has me sobbing. I don't know how you got through reading that. Heartbreakingly beautiful. I'll be squeezing my loved ones that little bit tighter tonight ❤️
I met your husband on Saturday at one of your shows when buying a hoodie (super comfortable) he’s very nice! I think he was surprised I noticed him! Loved the show! Waited for 7 months! Was not disappointed!
You have such a beautiful way of connecting us, the listeners/watchers, to these families and telling their story in a way that brings such honor to the victims and their loved ones. Thank you. The ending of this one had me literally bawling.
Good evening Emma thanks for the consistent hard work, feels wrong to say I look forward to your content because of the type of cases you talk about but I do appreciate you x
Oh my gosh, thank you for covering this. Heartbreaking! I live a few miles away and have to drive past the school and the head’s house on my way to appointments at Epsom Hospital. I am still horrified by it- so close to home! RIP sweet little Lettie and Emma 🙏🏼🙏🏼😭💔
Emma I just have to say how much I enjoyed your book. I listened to it via audible and you did such a fantastic job with how you spoke and what was written. Can’t wait for the second one!
So sad 😢 Absolutely love the effort and depth you went into on the domestic abuse topic, though. Explained in such a way that those who are going through abuse, whom perhaps dont even realise that that's what it is, can understand it.
Saw you at your Welwyn Garden show. Amazing!!! I was the one that pointed out the toothpick on your boot. Bought a copy of your book. Your husband is so lovely. Hope you are feeling a bit better. Will be booking your show for next May ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent analysis, Emma. Your explanation of the punitive reason behind blaming Emma for the domestic violence incident in 2016, helped me understand why the same thing happened to me. My abusive partner struck himself in the face when I went to leave him and called the police to lie and say I'd harmed him. I am a teacher too and I was put in a jail cell over the weekend until the case was dismissed on the Monday. Thankfully, I did leave him.
Wow Emma! I can barely see the screen for tears. What an incredibly impactful poem. I am going to have to purchase a copy of this. I hope the school is selling this poem for funds in these two beautiful souls' names. Will research how to get a copy now. Many thanks x
Why don’t these men just get a divorce and leave, these story’s really affect me, I just can’t understand why you’d choose to kill your own flesh and your wife over just leaving!
I'm not crying... This poem is absolutely beautiful. Emma, the way you read it, I felt all of the emotions 😭 I could listen to you speak all day every day❣️ Thank you!
I’m in tears. What a beautiful poem. Excellent work on the video , Emma. My sympathy to the family, friends and students. Rest in peace precious Lettie and amazing Emma ❤️🕊️🕊️
Thanks so much Emma. You did another wonderful job representing the lives of these two, wonderful people, her sister, friends and family. The poem was amazing! You recited it so heartfelt like many others here who spoke of the tears we now shed for our own lost loved ones... 😢😢 😢
An amazing exploration of the truly sad story and a compassionate and moving delivery of the poem at the end. It's a hideous story, but this is why we watch.......an empathetic and soulful tribute to those who have been taken and dare I say it where 'lessons will be learned'. Seems not at these cases keep coming but the coverage is deep-dive, without sensationalism or unnecessary drama. Sad, but informative and sensitive as ever. Thank-you.
What a beautiful poem and what beautiful souls Emma and Elette are. I'm sure they're both in a better place now, and far away from the evil excuse for a human who murdered them.
For once, im here minutes after posting. Although i have subscribed. Emma, you are such a great storyteller, and it still marvels me that this channel isn't getting the views it rightly deserves. Ps : You are the only TH-camr i follow on Instagram, and that's thanks to your gorgeous daughter
I agree! I recommend Emma to everyone I possibly can (even on other channels) been watching her for years (on crime documentaries) and am so happy she has a channel. The best 100%
My daughter is disabled, and because of this, when she was small, we had a social worker working with us and helping us. She would visit us once every couple of weeks, bearly a few months had passed when she asked me if my relationship with my partner was OK. I told her a couple of bits not much, I didn't want to seem like I was being dramatic. From those few small bits, she told me it was abuse and helped me get away. I didn't see it for what it was, i knew i didnt want to be with him anymore but i didnt know how to leave, i had no support from my family. I had a friend constantly telling me to get away, it took an impartial person standing outside to convince me. It was years later, before I finally saw the relationship for what it was. For me, part of being in an abusive relationship was not knowing it was abusive. In my mind, I was being dramatic and probably deserved it. This is NEVER the case, it doesn't matter if you sleep with their father/mother, violence is not OK ❤
That poem was incredibly powerful. Emma clearly touched the lives of many whom she taught and worked beside. Her legacy goes on through them, as they teach those around them what was instilled in them by a beautiful woman. R.I.P Emma and Lettie
Thank you for your videos, Emma. I remember this case, and I was horrified by it. I find domestic abuse cases such as this so upsetting. I know you will handle it with sensitivity, as always x
I live a few minutes away from the college and I remember when it happened. It was a terrible tragedy that everyone in the town felt repercussions of. I remember I walked on the campus grounds about a week after that and there was a mass in their church, I assume in the intention of the headteacher and her daughter. I sat on a bench outside and a woman walking her dog asked me if I was okay. That was very nice and thoughtful of her. Right now, they have signs at the entry that prohibit outsiders from walking onto the campus and I think they have been placed there after the murder. Sad, because it is a beautiful area.
This part about abuse and trying to tell a loved one that is what they are going through made me cry. My 26 yr old son has finally broken out of an abusive relationship, she has done such a good job at gaslighting him, and 2 months on, he still doesn't trust his own thoughts. 🥹 As his mum this just kills me.
I was also abused by a evil narcissistic man. I would urge you to learn about narcissism so you can better understand what your son went through and if he can also watch to understand what happened to him. This is the first step to start pulling away from the trauma. Watching many videos on you tube about what happened to me helped in a way no one could have. I wish your family well.
36:29 what Emma said here is so important and I’m glad she mentioned it. Giving the impression that everyone who ends up in an abusive situation must be highly sensitive and/or vulnerable is so far from the truth. I’m highly sensitive and when I was younger was 100% *highly* sensitive and *highly* vulnerable and that was taken advantage of, my mum however is sensitive in her own way but outwardly a very tough lady. She was in the army, then she was a prison officer; she’s one of those people who is calm and level headed in almost all situations, she gets emotional like 99% of human beings do but she’s very good at controlling her emotions and from the outside you’d never ever think she’s someone who would be abused. You’d think, and many people did, “hell no she would never take that kind of nonsense, she’d defend herself and she’d kick said abuser out on their ear and never let them near her again” but that wasn’t the case sadly. My dad beat her badly many times, and she kept it a secret from everyone. She did the typical “no I fell over in the shower and hit my head on the tap”. Not because she wanted to protect my dad, but because I think deep down she didn’t want to appear weak. Of course we all know being abused does *not* mean you’re a weak person but I think that’s what was going on in her mind. It’s really important that we change this narrative that only “weak” or “vulnerable” people can be abused because it’s the furthest thing from the truth
My dad was killed with a shot gun. My brother (11) and I (7) found his body. Listening to Emma explain how it really does destroy a body brought back some bad memories. Very little people understand what a shot gun does to a person. It's horrible
I hadn’t realised I’d not finished this. Em, you recited that poem so beautifully… I’m sat here sobbing wishing my mum could send me her jumbled texts that we needed a degree to decipher. I’d give anything for her to ring me just as I’m going to bed at 11pm and her tell me I’m young stop going to bed early (lol despite having 2 kiddos one who got up 4.30-5 am every morning lol). I’d give anything to her my mums rambling about nothing at all. Miss you so much mum my only comfort is that your reunited with my daddy, your one true love (my dad died when I was 9 weeks old, my poor mum was a widow for longer than she lived as a. Child, teen, girlfriend and wife) this case is so horrific may Emma & Lettie, may you both be in the bigger beautiful beyond
OMG I'm from this area and had not heard about this case... Wow recently there's been quite some happenings in Surrey 😢 very pleased you covered a UK story thank you Emma
I havent been able to watch for awhile as life has been too hectic. Nice to have some time to enjoy your videos again ❤ Such a beautiful woman and gorgeous little girl 😢
I'm good falling like always and also have the additional symptom of not being able to feel my hands properly. There are people worse off and hearing cases like this really hammers it home how fortunate i am. The poem was beautiful. Thanks for sharing that xx
When you were talking about how precious children are I for some reason thought about the little girl in Gaza carrying her even more so little sister girl to hospital to get treatment for a broken ankle. Some lives are more precious than others, some childrens lives matter not at all.
Emma is there any chance you will cover the case of the women in the UK that unalived her parents then lived in the house with them for years, the way she was so calm and telling the police where they would find her parents as if she was telling someone where her lost watch is was crazy
What a beautiful tribute at the end. Wow! Sometimes I listen to true crime back to back through my working week and sadly forget the gorgeous soles left behind after someone takes their life but this had me in tears. Such a very tragic case & loss to the world ❤
Thx Emma. And Thx for making clear that the incident where the police was called was part of controlling her. Successful women are often seen negatively to feed the narrative that only men are capable to deal with pressure and are brilliant, kind and loving.
I love you so much Emma. You just GET IT and you are doing such incredible work in educating people about domestic abuse and coercive control. Thankyou.
Such a sad story but so important to dispel the myth that women who are abused are weak or a certain way. She'll be remembered for the way she loved and lived, not for the way they died.
So glad you covered this, remember this on the news. Please look at Alex Skiel, this is the flip side (hate that term) but it looks into female assault and coercive control on her male partner
I guess I'm lucky and had a blessed life, but family is where you go back to when you need help. " Mum, I'm pregnant," dad, my car, broke down. My family just took me in without judgment. I am sorry for people who don't have a safe house.
I was watching a documentary and you popped up in it. I can't remember which one but you were being interviewed. I screamed at my husband 😂look it's Emmaaaa!!! 😂😂😂
This is another awful case, Emma and that beautiful little girl deserved so much better than that murderer in their lives - how can one half of couple feel jealous of their success they should be so proud of them! Thanks for another in depth case as sad as it is. Only just managed to finish your book today, brilliant and I had never heard of two of the women serial killers. X
My 'Human lie detector' hoodie arrived today! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! It was supposed to be for Christmas but I can't wait, I'm wearing it today 😂 The quality is beautiful, it's so warm. Thank you Em and your beautiful family for always making sure that your crime cult get the best of the best! I have so much love and respect for you guys ❤ If anyone has been hesitating on getting any merch because of being unsure, go for it! I now have 3 hoodies and two t shirts and have no plans on stopping there! 😂 ✌🏻🙏🏼❤️

I’d give anything for her to ring me just as I’m going to bed at 11pm and her tell me I’m young stop going to bed early (lol despite having 2 kiddos one who got up 4.30-5 am every morning lol). I’d give anything to her my mums rambling about nothing at all. Miss you so much mum my only comfort is that your reunited with my daddy, your one true love (my dad died when I was 9 weeks old, my poor mum was a widow for longer than she lived as a. Child, teen, girlfriend and wife) this case is so horrific may Emma & Lettie, may you both be in the bigger beautiful beyond
OMG I'm from this area and had not heard about this case... Wow recently there's been quite some happenings in Surrey 😢 very pleased you covered a UK story thank you Emma
How incredibly tragic and devastating! Emma the way you read the poem was incredible! I am in tears.
I havent been able to watch for awhile as life has been too hectic. Nice to have some time to enjoy your videos again ❤ Such a beautiful woman and gorgeous little girl 😢
You make me cry, the way you talk about children all being beautiful ❤
What a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing that with us. ❤️
Such a sad case! You always manage to insert an incredible amount of emotion into your videos Emma. Also, the poem was very poignant and touching x
Lovely ending to such an awful tragedy ... poem was top drawer ❤
Yay Emma Time always good from when I'm recovering from the new treatment I'm on a new car and Emma today always awesome xx
Hope you are ok? X
I'm good falling like always and also have the additional symptom of not being able to feel my hands properly. There are people worse off and hearing cases like this really hammers it home how fortunate i am. The poem was beautiful. Thanks for sharing that xx
When you were talking about how precious children are I for some reason thought about the little girl in Gaza carrying her even more so little sister girl to hospital to get treatment for a broken ankle. Some lives are more precious than others, some childrens lives matter not at all.
What you said at the end was so very beautiful. Thank you Emma, i really, really needed to hear that today. 11 11
What a beautiful poem Emma 💜 I believe in angel numbers and that our loved ones wait for us 💜
Oh Emma. That poem broke me. So beautiful.
Emma is there any chance you will cover the case of the women in the UK that unalived her parents then lived in the house with them for years, the way she was so calm and telling the police where they would find her parents as if she was telling someone where her lost watch is was crazy
The word is dead. No such word as unalived. Get it right
Wow what a powerful poem that was
I never miss an episode Emma. You are amazing! This case makes a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Heartbreaking ❤
Thank you x
That poem is so beautiful. What a gifted writer that former student is
Wow that one really got me today. I honestly have no words apart from sleep tight you too sweet angels. 😢 💔💔
I just loved your discussion around importing wine! 😂
What a beautiful tribute at the end. Wow! Sometimes I listen to true crime back to back through my working week and sadly forget the gorgeous soles left behind after someone takes their life but this had me in tears. Such a very tragic case & loss to the world ❤
I love the poem in the end, thank you! ❤
Thank you Emma xx
Oh that beautiful poem got me at the end! What a waste of two beautiful lives. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔
What a beautiful poem. A wonderful way to end such a touching, upsetting case. Rest in peace ❤
Thx Emma. And Thx for making clear that the incident where the police was called was part of controlling her. Successful women are often seen negatively to feed the narrative that only men are capable to deal with pressure and are brilliant, kind and loving.
Beautiful sketch... Beautiful Poem...😢♥️💚💜🇨🇦
That touched me in a way I did not expect, what a beautiful poem, a sad story.
I love you so much Emma. You just GET IT and you are doing such incredible work in educating people about domestic abuse and coercive control. Thankyou.
Rip Emma and Lettie 🤍
The beautiful photograph at the end and the touching music brought tears to my eyes.
That beautiful poem 😢 such a tragic case
Such a sad story but so important to dispel the myth that women who are abused are weak or a certain way. She'll be remembered for the way she loved and lived, not for the way they died.
Hi Emma❤ love your channel- never miss an episode
Couldn’t agree with you more Emma , in regards to how precious our beautiful babies are. ❤❤ I hope Etta Blu is thriving.
So glad you covered this, remember this on the news. Please look at Alex Skiel, this is the flip side (hate that term) but it looks into female assault and coercive control on her male partner
I guess I'm lucky and had a blessed life, but family is where you go back to when you need help. " Mum, I'm pregnant," dad, my car, broke down. My family just took me in without judgment. I am sorry for people who don't have a safe house.
I was watching a documentary and you popped up in it. I can't remember which one but you were being interviewed. I screamed at my husband 😂look it's Emmaaaa!!! 😂😂😂
Omg Emma that was beautiful so sad and Beautiful at the same time. 😢😢
Love the top Emma! Very cool!
Beautiful poem x very sad case x
This is another awful case, Emma and that beautiful little girl deserved so much better than that murderer in their lives - how can one half of couple feel jealous of their success they should be so proud of them!
Thanks for another in depth case as sad as it is. Only just managed to finish your book today, brilliant and I had never heard of two of the women serial killers. X
Wow 😢 thank you ❤
My 'Human lie detector' hoodie arrived today! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! It was supposed to be for Christmas but I can't wait, I'm wearing it today 😂
The quality is beautiful, it's so warm. Thank you Em and your beautiful family for always making sure that your crime cult get the best of the best! I have so much love and respect for you guys ❤
If anyone has been hesitating on getting any merch because of being unsure, go for it! I now have 3 hoodies and two t shirts and have no plans on stopping there! 😂 ✌🏻🙏🏼❤️
