    Idk why but it breaks my heart that in the chippie when he's completely off his head and can't string a sentence together he still remembers to say please.

      And 'thank you' to the bus driver. That must've been drilled into him all his life, he sounded like he was responding to the chippie bloke like 'one _please'_ as though he was a mum asking 'one what..?' to a child, lmao.

      Avid Fan Not literally, my arse is still firmly attached, but yeah it did actually make me laugh to hear him talking to the bloke like a frustrated child being denied a treat until he asked nicely enough while the guy is just like 'yeah okay fine, please, but one _what_ mate??' and both of them having no idea what the hell the other one's problem is.

    Personally I think Damien was for sure on something stronger than weed that night, possibly pills which he may have got in the pubs he was going into which would explain his odd behaviour on the CCTV. I also think Chris knows way more about Damien's drug use than he let on in the documentary, including that Damien was on drugs that night, had a much bigger drug habit than previously known and that this may have played some part in his death. He might be hiding that because he doesn't want to admit that he left his mate high and alone on the night he went missing.

      I recently moved from London to the countryside and was weirded out by people saying thank you when they got off the bus. In London if you do that, people look at you as if you are strange, including the driver. I am extrmeely socially anxious and even making brief eye contact with someone else in a train carriage or on a bus is just not seen as normal or acceptable. I am a very polite, people-pleasing person to the point others say me beign uptight makes them uncomfortable so there is always this internal struggle in me whether to say thank you or not. I don't even lie saying hello or goddbye to anyone because I feel like I'm being arrogant enough to assume anyone cares if I'm there or not. Thanking your Uber driver is actually more of a typical thing to do because it is someone giving you a ride in his car (often in the front seat with one-on-one interaction) and thus in a far more i'ntimate' context than a bus driver in a large commercial vehicle who just stops and opens the doors barely noticing anyone geting on/off.

    Looks like he was in a acid loop, especially in the chips shop. Probably tried it on previous occasions but definitely seemed in a mental loop due to some drug use. Explains the paranoia aswell and for those of you saying it reminded you of a stroke patient. I am a nurse and it is very very rare for a 16 year old to suffer from a stroke like brain injury without cramps or loss of physical functions.

    Thank you so much for covering this case Georgia. I think it's important that these older cases do not get forgotten.

  • @deettekearns9092

    I disagree about your thoughts abut the power of a drug dealer in this small community. Yes, it was a small community but that doesn’t mean that the guy didn’t wield power. Notice that the men in the drug community didn’t come forward until he was dead. So the fact there was a community says something. In addition, the police department doesn’t sound competent. How many murders do they really get and they lost ALL the evidence? They also didn’t investigate the “missing person” aspect of the crime until much later and even then, they were looking for the wrong person. It’s like the police didn’t want to get involved.
    Just my opinion.

      I wonder if someone who worked for the police had a child , partner , sibling or themselves were in debt to the drug dealer. Even if the police person was a customer with no debt it could be the end of their career if their drug use got out . Maybe that police officer who was "death with" .

      Flash forward to now, there are two documentaries about the 43 on netflix. I only watched one. Fascinating but horrifying story. Seems quite clear that corrupt police and/or military in Mexico mass executed and incinerated them in the nearby military base crematorium. 'Enforced disappearances' are common in Mexico, apparently the Mexican government have been getting away with it because they can make claims that the disappeared were trouble makers, enemies of the state kinda' thing. When it happened to 43 children though, and there's documentary evidence that some were shot dead by police aside of those that were never found.. well that was different. I had no knowledge of this at all before I saw it on netflix. I have much appreciation for netflix educating me about important atrocities with some of its content, it's terrible that things like this are not widely known about though, and that privileged people in better off countries have the audacity to complain about being offended but don't seem to care about something like this because it's a different country.

    I loved your bus comment! I moved to the UK from Poland almost 20 years ago and it was one of the first things I've noticed as it wasn't customary where I come from. Years later, while visiting relatives in Poland with my children, we used public transport quite often and said "thank you" every time we were leaving either a bus, or a tram. The drivers and other passengers were so shocked I couldn't help but laugh. Thankfully, it is changing, and more people start to show common courtesy these days. Anyway, great video, as always.

You are good at this, not in the professional way of some TH-camrs and how they present things, but in a personable way that forces us to love you. You are so relatable and a joy to listen to and watch. Thank you for what you do. I've thought about making similar TH-cam videos one day, and would love to collaborate on one with you.

    @englishsweetpea 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I'm so glad that you covered this case, Georgia. I moved to the island a few years ago and somehow tripped over the documentary. My husband, who was born and raised on the island, hadn't heard of the case, but to be fair, he had left the country by that point. I was so incensed that the cops bungled this so badly and it was never solved. I feel awful for his family. I think the one punch theory holds a lot of weight. Growing up in a small rural community myself, I know how much power petty criminals can hold. If you put them into a city, they would be nothing, but in a small community they can be pretty powerful - big fish in a small pond scenario. I do hope that Damien's disappearance gets solved one day, but I think that's pretty unlikely, sadly.

    Just a food for thought! I’m from quite a rural area and you would be surprised at the drug problem we have here, from what I’ve heard it’s common too. A lot of people turn to drugs as something to do, or social problems etc.ith such a tight knit community it’s more likely that people all know each other in some way so, and probably know someone in the police force that could be manipulated or perhaps leak something etc. So I can see it happening!!

    @blytheseay3341 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Here’s just a thought. Watching the video of Damien in the chippie reminds me of whenever parents are trying to get their children to say class. So, their child may say “one” referring to whatever they want, and then the parent responds with “one what?” In an attempt to get the child to say “one please.” I definitely think he was under the influence of something and was confused, big that was my first thought.

    • @bryntendo
      @bryntendo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Same, I actually laughed when I heard it because it was so unexpected. He sounds like he thinks the chippie bloke is a mum trying to coax the word 'please' out of him, and when the chippie bloke keeps getting just as confused at the answer it's like some kind of bizarre feedback loop. I was surprised there weren't many more comments mentioning that, it really stood out to me =/

    Can you cover the story of David Blake? He went missing from Kennesaw Mountain in Kennesaw Georgia, where I live. It's a very odd case and there's not much to it but I think with publicity that it doesn't have now, it could be solved. It's as if everyone around me has forgotten and even though I never knew David, I feel crushed that his family has no answers. He went to school down the road from me and we probably bumped into one another at the grocery store. His case just needs more coverage.

  • @joziroguszka2865
    @joziroguszka2865 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have good knowledge on this case from years of studying it, watching and reading things on it, even read years worth of the Isle of Wight news archives as I was interested in reading about the exploits of some of the suspects, one of whom was a regular in the paper for his ridiculous shenanigans, as well as obviously reading on reports concerning Damien in the IoW news from that time through to today.
    This is a very good video and you clearly have researched well, going to give some feedback based on some things I know or have read or heard:-
    3:29 - It's true that Damien was said to have been asking about his sister in pubs. Possibly he was using this as a cover story for being in the pubs when he should not have been. However I have an awareness that Damien had actually been expecting his sister to be back for the weekend that weekend. I believe he had recently visited her at University and she had said she would be coming back that weekend, or a weekend soon (the weekend of his disappearance). I believe this was mentioned a little in the BBC documentary from two or three years ago, and I've read it on the Damien Nettles Facebook group I'm in (facebook.com/groups/damienrichardnettles/) or the page I follow (facebook.com/damiennettles/). One or the other.
    8:57 - I don't recall ever having seen anything on a blue Ford Fiesta so good find there... unless, one account I'm aware of is that he had been seen trying car door handles outside the pub, and that a man had approached him and asked what he was doing. If that's the Ford Fiesta you're speaking about then I have read/heard about that.
    10:12 - I had figured that when he was telling that guy "they're watching us", he was either referring to the CCTV in the street which was quite new at that time, or the police officers who apparently had been parked outside Yorkies. Apparently during the CCTV of Damien with the fellas inside Yorkies, a police car pulls up outside and one of the guys in the CCTV (the stocky one with crew cut and light coloured jacket as I recall) jokes about getting a lift to "the club" with the police. Also it has been said that two ladies got out of the police car when it pulled up outside.
    10:12 - Speaking about dialogue in the Yorkies CCTV. A while back I listened to it closely. The sound is terrible and some '90s hardcore rave music is playing in the shop which makes it even more difficult, however I can confirm that I did hear the crew cut guy mention the police car when I watched it. You can just make it out. Only other thing I can really remember making out is that the guy with kinda' curtains hair and a fleece talking with Damien at the counter seemed to be talking to him about fish saying "that's cod, that is".. unless he was saying "that's odd". Anyway what I am sure I heard him say to Damien a little later is "you need to work on your communication skills". It's the clearest piece of dialogue in the CCTV for me. Damien had been seemingly incapable or properly conversing with the guy, so he says "you need to work on your communication skills", but seemingly in a nice kinda' jokey way, and then he leaves saying something along the lines of "have a nice night"/"see ya' later" something generic like that. When Damien is trying to order in the most (in)famous part of the CCTV, one thing he says is "I've got communication skills".. but he kinda' mumbles it, and gets it wrong because the guy had told him he needs to work on his communication skills, not that he has them. This isn't much significant I don't think, wasn't really anything in the CCTV that made the guys look that significant to me, but I think this just further reinforces just how inebriated Damien was.

    • @joziroguszka2865
      @joziroguszka2865 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      15:50 - Yeah Nicky Mac is the guy I was on about actually, that is all over the IoW archives. The guy was a regular occurrence in the paper, doing stupid shit like one time hiding from the police in an allotment wearing a black curly haired wig, after they had chased him for something.. possibly for having a shotgun in his boot although that may have been a separate occurrence to the hiding in an allotment with a stupid wig. Violence and fights were the reason for every time he was in the paper except when he died and it was obituaries. Interestingly he had a relative called Katy.. if I recall correctly his sister, but maybe cousin. Anyway Katy was a rate good dancer and there's a local dance championship/cup named after her. The Katy McNamara cup. Just think it's interesting how she's got such a positive legacy and him such a negative one. And that other suspect Spencer.. well for one thing way younger than he looks, because when Nicky was in the paper for stupid petty crimes as a young adult in the 1980s Spencer was still a kid, in the paper for winning marathons. He was a long distance runner. Also in the paper for doing well in football. It's sad considering what he was upto ten years later.
      16:00 - Nicky Mac died in September 2002 here is his online obituary (drugskill.wordpress.com/2002/09/21/nick-macnamara/). The comments make for an interesting read, seeing the perspective of the people who loved Nicky, and some of them perpetuating a feeling that Nicky was a victim himself in that he was corrupted by others, ruined by drugs I think one comment alludes to someone (unnamed) being responsible for Nicky's demise in the sense of being responsible for getting him back into drugs or stopping him getting clean or something, as it also appears that he was trying to get sober. Nicky's son actually served in Iraq.. or Afghanistan, which is interesting. Although he's followed in his father's footsteps in recent years having been in the IoW news for stupid crimes in relation to a drug addiction.
      18:00 - Spencer was working in construction even back then I believe, and I had read somewhere a while back that there was a construction site that Spencer may have been working on that was active at the time of Damien's disappearance. Maybe the body was no longer where the source had known it to be by the time he spoke about it.
      20:36 - Can't remember how I know this but Spencer has or had a relative working in the Cowes police force... I'm pretty sure. Again I think this is something I read that one of the locals had said.
      21:22 - Some locals have said that police in Isle of Wight, particularly Cowes and particularly back then, were quite degenerate. Druggies, not to generalise, but that a fair few were, or were involved in other dirt. This alone could give the drug dealers a degree of power or influence. Also small community where some of the police were friends or relatives of the drug dealers. By the way Cowes is a notoriously rough area in Isle of Wight. Apparently people like Nicky Mac and his crew were quite abundant in certain areas of Cowes especially back then.
      Good video anyway. It's good to see people talking about this case although it's been stalled for years now. No progress. It's frustrating.

    Well covered. I've been reading about this case for over a decade.
    The only thing I would add is that on the IoW drugs and crime can be a problem in parts. Like a lot of seaside/retirement places, in contrast there is also a druggy undercurrent. Often to do with small communities and social problems linked with unemployment out of tourist season. I'm told the Isle of Man is the same.
    Similar cases you could cover are Luke Durbin and Nicola Payne.

    Omg so sorry to comment twice but I was offered a Nanny position on this Isle of White...I have been trying to figure out what to do?
    I would like the police to start over in this case. I have seen a documentary on this case. I am going to go against the Nicky MacNamara theory.
    The amount of mistakes that the police made are astronomical. I also have a different take on this young man’s behavior that evening.
    I have wondered if we have missed the obvious in favor of rumors in this case.
    Who is more likely to get away with a crime?A bored junkie who deals drugs on a very small Island or four Military men who have each other’s backs and don’t talk? I really believe that Nicky M was a small time punter who would have bragged about killing anyone to boost his ego.However the person or persons who did this have kept their mouths shut . If the small time drug dealer did this then the body would have been located. It’s not easy to burn a body and it would have had to be burning for days.Also,Nicky was well known to make people work off debts by dealing for him.This was something that he spoke about often.Also the individual who said that he saw him burning a sleeve asked for reward money.
    I believe that he would have walked home through the park and I believe that he walked into a trap or someone who had seen him before. I just have noticed that people are very quick to rule out the four men in the shop?They don’t really have any reason to kill but it could be something as simple as they were amped up and didn’t like something he did or said at the chippy. It could have been something like they thought he was gay and bashed him. It’s just odd that they were never considered suspects.This body was well hidden which means that someone with a functioning mind or minds was able to do this. I don’t see how Nicky and his loudmouth friends could have covered up the crime properly?
    Ps.We say thank you to the Bus drivers in Canada too!
