8 years??!! Am I doing the math right there? 8 years for a series of violent crimes including raping a woman in front of her daughter??!! That's disgusting.
Agree. The tragedy is, that those giving irresponsible verdicts like that are NOT the ones to pay the price. I wonder if they absolutely knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that if they mucked up the killer would come after their wives, their daughters, if that verdict would turn out the same!
@@blushingviolet5928 This is the #1 reason why I support the death penalty, although in this case I don't think it would have been warranted until after the murders. This creep was sentenced to 45 years, but after 5 years had more and more freedom to the point where he was able to get off on his own to kill these poor ladies and little girl. People who think that life in prison is good enough are naive if they think that no idiot in the future will let them out on "good behavior" and more innocent people will die. Further on in the video now and it gets more disturbing how many times this guy could have been stopped and wasn't.
I’m Lmaoooo cuz I came to the comments just to see how many people mentioned them and this is the first one! I’m not paying attention to Danielle either cuz that one black kitty strutting around by itself is just killing me with all of its cuteness!
It was hard focusing on this story, with all the kittens in the background, LOL. They are absolutely adorable. Especially the little black one. This story is heartbreaking, my heart goes out to the loved ones.
Awe! They really are so beautiful! These horrifying cases need a little something to give us faith in humanity! And baby animals often tick off that box!
I live in New Mexico and there was a violent crime victim named Katie Sepich that had a law created for her. she was attacked outside of her home, raped, dismembered, burned and scattered all over the town. Her attacker was another violent criminal that wasn’t caught until he committed another crime and his dna was taken. Katie’s law was made for her and has been passed in several states since. This law requires that anyone arrested on a violent crime must submit a DNA sample.
We here in kc had a cases like that just look up the name Kyler yust an you'll see, the parents don't have laws but definitely took 10 years an 2 young ladies dying for them to capture him
@@babyphatpenut Oh God, I've heard about that case. Some other true crime channel talked about it. It is infuriating and incredibly sad. The guy is a total psycho. W/o any respect for human life. Obviously, all killers are like that, but there's something so evil about him.
@@DoraSometimes this whole comment tho yes very much so a psycho I'm so glad we finally got justice the most irritating part is if they leo done did there job Jess would be here
Hanging for a guy who slit the throats and violated the bodies of 2 ladies and a little girl is absolutely not cruel punishment! Really glad this guy will never have the chance to hurt anyone again!
"Well he told me he'd get revenge on all the people who put him in prison. And then he drove by his victims home a few times, you know, one of people who put him in prison? Then he got drunk and left and I noticed my kitchen knife missing, so I went about my normal day" stellar person, that Judith Dirks...
@@michelleprieur1 you think that’s crazy. Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez are among a few known serial killers who have droves of women who want them. Fan mail and the whole bit. I can’t understand it.
I get so infuriated when people ask survivors of sa why they didn’t report. Sometimes it makes this shit worse. The judicial system is built to fail survivors and protect abusers / those in power. What a preventable tragedy. I’m only half way thru this video and I’m crying. Rest In Peace. Thank you for sharing danelle.
I agree, ive been SA and the police made me feel like it was my fault and did the absolute minimum to catch him. Where im from you're lucky if it even gets to court and if it does the sentences are ridiculous you get more for involvement with drugs.
Sadly you’re correct! Here in Scotland, a lass from my high school was raped in 2001, she reported it then at trial in 2002 she was made to hold up the underwear she was wearing on the night three times!! Sadly the lassie took her own life a week before the verdict partly because of that court ordeal. Surprise surprise, her rapist was released early on “good behaviour” with a new name etc & her family weren’t notified, her mum literally bumped into him at the supermarket!!
Danelle, you have a knack for finding the most INFURIATING cases! I cannot believe they would let this man out on a work detail! I hold them responsible as well for those 3 deaths. Thank you for bringing attention to these victims!!
She DOES do infuriating cases!! I like to listen to true crime before I go to bed and I know that I CANNOT watch Danelle before bed because the cases she covers p*ss me off sooo bad that I can't even sleep. I'll be all frustrating and thinking about it all night!!
Well he was sentenced to 40 something years, not 8. And each offense (sexual assault of other inmates, not following the rules, rape of his ex wife) should have added years
I wish people with such violent intentions and repeat behaviors like this would just get put down because they offer nothing good in the world and are beyond help. It’s also such a cowardly behavior this man showed when going to be hanged because clearly he was terrified but didn’t think of how his victims felt being tormented for lengthy suffering.
When a pardon/parole board decide to allow someone like this out of prison before they have served their entire sentence and that person goes out and they assault someone else the members of that board who made a decision to let him go knowing his history and conduct inside the prison should be able ti be charged with accessory to whatever crime that offender committed
I agree! They are driven to be good because there's a benefit. They can get out on good behavior. It's just manipulation and nothing more. If they're bad outside of prison and they're good in prison then maybe they should stay in prison. I don't know just a thought. We like people being alive so maybe prison is where murderers should live. Crazy idea right?
The VINE system is a good idea In theory... But here in Ohio most inmates are released between 8am-10am. But the victims don't get the automated call until 6pm saying the offender has been released. I signed up to get updated info for my abusive ex. And my "robot" call came through at 6:02pm. I could have been dead by then. They should alert people the day or 2 before so they have time to make plans if needed. Hopefully the vine system gets better with their alerts.
Same here in Iowa. I was supposed to be alerted when a man who sexually abused me when I was 13 would be released. It didn't tell me until about 12 hours after he was released. I already knew he was being released beforehand due to a victims unit here, fortunately. But if I hadn't been in contact with them before, I wouldn't have known until hours later that he was out. Very scary. Hopefully it does get better.
Something is seriously broken in the Washington Judicial system that a man who held a knife to a kid’s throat while raping the mother was ever given anything other than life in prison or the death penalty.
One of the laws I know is in the UK a young girl named Sarah Payne was murdered and after that Sarah's Law came into place. This meant people could call 101 or the police and ask for any background information about anyone in contact with their child to check for any child sex offenders. It has been used 708 times by parents or guardians in the UK.
That’s awesome, but how does it get around peoples privacy laws?? You would think law enforcement would not be able to give info about anyone…to another person who is not other law enforcement. Has it been in law very long?? I wonder if there will be civil rights complaints about it?? That is awesome. In Canada we can’t even get a list of sex offenders in our area. We have a long way too go!!
@@wordsleuth992 It was rolled out to all police forces in England and Wales in 2011. Once an enquiry is made police officers look into the background of the individual before confidentially revealing information to the parent or guardian. The police will only disclose the information if they believe it to be in the interest of the child’s safety. It should be a law in every country that you can see a list of child predators for the safety of everyone.
@@leahvogelsimpson she really is. I will never forget her story, I remember when it happened I was 11 at the time. I watched it on Truly too they did a good job covering her story. I think they are getting so much better with editing etc these days . They are doing really well.
absolutely insanity that he was let out on work release. especially seeing as how he clearly wasn’t being supervised while out?!?! his own mom writing to them saying he needed to be in a high security prison and if he wasn’t “it would end badly” jesus christ 😭those poor woman and child!!!! may they rest in peace
This case has always given me chills, because it’s one of my biggest fears come true. The idea of someone attacking me and coming back years later is so scary.
The exact same thing happened to my grandmother. I never got to meet her but she was raped by a man and he wasn’t even out a month and he came back and had been stalking her house all night and eventually broke in. She was killed, along with my dads 4 year old little brother and my dad was shot, but was the only survivor. He was 8 and he still remembers every single detail. They didn’t believe in therapy back then, which he desperately needed. It still affects him to this day
I’ve got a case that I’ve been trying to get covered by someone with a decent following because of how close it hits to home and the fact that it really touches on false/coerced confessions made by an individual with a learning disability. I really want this case to get more coverage- and I’ve kinda got an inside scoop on it. My husband grew up in the home that the murders took place. Slept in the bedroom where a mother and child were killed, and worked with a close friend of one of the murderers. The case was covered by dateline a while back, but that’s all I’ve seen of it. The episode was called “Murder on Cling Lane” if I remember correctly. Robert Davis, one of the three teens convicted of the crime, was found to have made a false confession due to the police being *really* shitty during his interrogation. I believe he spent ten years behind bars, and was released in 2013. The murders took place in 2003, and my husband and his mom were the first people to move into the home after it was repaired (the killers had attempted to burn it down). The whole story is both fascinating and utterly tragic- I’m amazed it hasn’t gotten more coverage! If this case peaks your interest, I’d love to help you do some research on it and get it out there. It’s definitely impacted how police conduct interviews in my area, but I’m not sure if any particular laws have been put in place regarding interviews of developmentally disables individuals. Perhaps you could do a series on false/coerced confessions? Apologies for the long comment and any spelling/grammar errors! It’s hard to type on my phone and even harder to revise 😂.
I am at the end now and this was an atrocity of justice. 🤬 Edit: How this PoS played the system. They should have treated him the way he treated his victims, minus the death, those ten years. I agree. It seems criminals have more rights than the people they victimized sometimes.
Unless the justice system is using a program that relies on a random algorithm, there are real people with names responsible for the decisions that gave this guy opportunities to commit more burglaries, assaults and murder. THEY are responsible , not some nameless , faceless system. 😡
I love that you care about the victims. Thanks so much for not just being another TH-cam who talks about all the same cases over and over again. You're awesome!
This was a really tough case to listen to - however - having your beautiful cats and kittens in the background certainly helped to lessen the horror of the story - so thank you for that.
What a coward . He sure didn’t mind taking others lives and even that of a child. Cruel and unusual punishment is not what happened to him . It’s what he did to others .
Imagine your loved one being SA’d and child being traumatized and you decide to divorce and move away. What type of “MAN” is that. I hope he holds guilt in his heart.
It probably wasn't all his fault. She could have contributed a lot of what led to the divorce. He may have been the most understanding, helpful husband and she just wouldn't accept help or anything. That happens more than people realize. Its not always the mans fault. I don't know the actual situation so it could have been all him but to not know exactly what happened and still judge that man is wrong. Especially because he lost his daughter, the woman he loved and a good friend all in one horrible tragedy. We have to have some compassion and empathy or we're no better than the sociopaths/psychopaths that commit these crimes. And I am sure he feels a tremendous amount of guilt. It probably eats at him daily that he wasn't there and didn't protect them.
The only person who is guilty is the monster who killed them. The ex husband has nothing to do with what happened, couples split up all the time. It has nothing to do with this case. Could be many reasons the relationship broke down. Cant stay together and one or both of you be unhappy just because. I've been married 25 years and I love my husband but I tell my kids not to get married.
After reading Ann Rule's book, I got the impression that Jack Wicklund was further collateral damage of Campbell. I believe that Jack could never forgive himself for not being there to protect his wife, from the first attack by Campbell. Regardless, Jack Wicklund was killed in a car accident shortly after the couple divorced. This was years before the murders.
Judges need to be held accountable for letting these murderers out. All 3 would of lived if he had stayed put in prison. That being said, those kitty's are too adorable ❤️
I cannot imagine how it must feel to love someone so deeply and spend so much of your life with them only for them to decide that since you have trauma symptoms I can no longer be with you. My partner and I have been together for years and I was assaulted just as we got together. He has helped me through every bit of the healing process and will continue to and I am so grateful to have that since apparently it's not just a common curtesy extended to survivors by loved ones.
Absolutely this!!! I am so glad you are getting through your trauma and that your partner is helping you! You are a strong, amazing person! Don't ever forget that! ❤️
Living with someone who has trauma or mental health issues can take a toll on the other person's mental health too. Maybe the partner has their own mental health issues too. Most people are not mental health professionals, it's not their job to heal you. Nobody is obligated to stay with you just because you have trauma and everybody has the right to look out for their own mental health first. Also, there could have been other reasons for the breakup, people can just fall out of love.
@@AngelDeed obviously there's more to it because every relationship is so unique as is each individual, however I have heard this happen in a lot of cases I've listened to recently and so seeing a pattern I made a comment on my opinion about it. No one is obligated to stay with anyone of course, I'd never say such a thing. It just surprises me that a spouse can see their partner suffering and choose to leave them alone in that place. It does seem like a terrible thing to do to someone, rather than encouraging them to get help and using healthy boundary setting etc
i get so LIVID when i see a case that could so clearly have been prevented. at multiple points, these three lives could have been saved if things would have just been done right in the first place. it’s just blasphemy to me that this man was given any kind of free roam abilities at all given how obvious it was that he’d hurt every single person who crossed his path. my heart hurts for all three victims, but specifically 8 year old Shanna. that little girl had to see her own mother, already murdered in the most gruesome way, then she was attacked and killed herself. it just tears my heart into shreds thinking about something like that.
These offenders are often products of parents/authority figures who withhold consequences for unacceptable behavior in childhood. Without consequences, they don't develop a conscience, so become narcissistic sociopaths or psychopaths. It makes no sense that the criminal justice system reinforces what those offenders learned throughout childhood, putting society at risk. Then, it's ridiculous that criminals are rewarded for "good behavior" in prison when they don't have the same opportunities to fulfill their inclinations while locked away from society, but in this case the guy wasn't even well-behaved in prison yet was still rewarded for good behavior. These murders were entirely preventable.
This was covered so thoroughly and well. Thank you for making sure the victims' voices are heard. I was reminded of the boomerang effect violence and murder causes. From Renee's fear and unshakable uneasiness after her assault, to the resulting divorce. And then the wonderful neighbors were innocently caught up in the horror of the crime as well (with Barbara ultimately losing her life) and her husband being so traumatized by what he saw that he had to numb the pain with drinking and drugs, that eventually no doubt contributed to his death. And of course, the beautiful little girl, who was twice victimized and then murdered by Charles. The results of all this seems to be never ending. And as many have said, seeing so many places where the murders could have been prevented (if the justice system was working properly) is disgusting and tragic. Huge mistakes were made with no reprecussions except to the victims. So unfair and deadly. 😔
@danellehallan Renae was one of my very best friends niece. Clearview is still small but was absolutely tiny until the 1990, it is 4 and a half miles of land. It was a very much a few streets in the woods. This case was HUGE in Snohomish County. My father was high up in the government staff beginning at the end of 1980. This was a major screwup, because before this happened they, as I understand it, there was no written rules about rapists being released on work release. I was only 12, when the murders happened. I am pretty sure that she lived on 180th St off of HWY 9. Back then Hwy 9 was only a 2 lane highway. KING5 news did a 12 part series in May 1994, the day of the execution. My mom ran directly into the swat team with fully decked out with their AR rifles while they were escorting Campbell to court. There were SO many death threats against him. He was flown out of the Snohomish County Airport (where I worked from 1988 to 1992). Campbell was a huge pos... in my opinion. While in prison he grew into a seriously obese man. He fought the justice system the entire time. He said that it would be cruel punishment to execute him by hanging because the noose would decapitate him. Shannah was literally decapitated but for the skin of the back neck. It is such a devastating ordeal. I feel so sorry for Don who lost his soul mate. All because of revenge. Monroe is in Snohomish County. But he was transferred to the county jail... and then released on work release. Work release was out of the Snohomish County jail and he walked off the crew. In Snohomish County work release the do garbage maintenance off the side of the highway. I know it is ridiculous. So much of this State wanted him to die. He was so EVIL. The employee who got pregnant, in Monroe, got pregnant while he was in the prison. Anyone who has that of poor judgment to have sex with an inmate in the prison where you work, it is not surprising that she didn't say anything about his vindictivness. Judge Thibodeau was a really good judge. This case was absolutely horrible. Like I said, I was 12 when the murders happened, but I was 24, married and just pregnant with my 1st child, when the earth was relieved of the scumbag Campbell. I have some serious feelings about this case and the horrific miscarriage of justice. I know that I have more information on this case, if you want to know more please let me know . The Clearview Cafe sold white t-shirts that said "Hang in there, Campbell!!! with a noose on it. They were sold out before the execution. What a big strong man, raping and killing his victims, he went crying like the little b* he was. It took like 12 guards to get him on the board and brought to the gallows. He was over 350 lbs. Also, in January of 1993, in Clark County Washington, Vancouver, WA, Westley Allan Dodd was hanged for raped and murdered 3 little boys in September and October, 1989. (brothers ages 10 and 11 in one attack and a 4 year old separately). He was caught after trying to abduct a 6 yr old, just 1 week after his last murder... when he failed, he fled,but his ca4 broke down on the highway a couple miles away. The boy told his family immediately and the hunt did not take very long. Even though his crimes were long after Campbell's, he asked for his sentence to be escalated. He waived all appeals and was executed by hanging in the first week of 1993. He was the first execution in decades. In 2018, Washington abolished the death penalty. P.S. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, huge fan for years
Thank you for sharing your personal connection to this case! I like hearing from neighbors and people in the community where the crime occured. I hope everything has calmed down somewhat for yall! Much love ❤️
Thank you Jana. I am usually a quiet observer, but this case has always gotten to me. It was one horrific event after another. My dad commuted for 18 months and we were moving from Oregon to Edmonds, Wa.. Campbell's hometown. On May 3rd one of my friends disappeared and her body was found on May 6th. She was murdered by a 14 6r old 8th grader. He beat her to death with a hockey stick, that was found in his school locker in pieces. He was sentenced at 16 to get out on his 21 birthday with no record. It is insane but that's the justice system.
I literally had to watch twice, bcuz I couldn't stop giggling at the little black kitten being so cute jumping to attack his own shadow, as well as trying to wake his/her siblings to play!! so cute!!
I always look forward to your videos. I love how you talk about cases that other True Crime youtubers don’t really cover and you’re always so respectful to the victims ❤️
She puts her pours her heart into these cases like if she knew the victims. I personally find it insulting when other channels do their makeup whilst talking about true crimes. Like if it was some casual conversation.
The irony of him not having any regard for anyone else’s life, but he fights for his own life. I feel for the victims family members, it was senseless. The justice system needs some serious reform.
Any kind of parole for violent offenders is a terrible, terrible thing. I will never change my mind on this. It causes so much additional suffering for victims and their families.
His own mom said he should be locked up and the key lost. This didn’t clue in the officials that he didn’t deserve any good behavior points? These crimes are just as much the state’s fault as his. If they had done their job properly these women would have lived.
I live in Knoxville, TN. I remember the murders of Chris Newsom and Channon Christian really freaked everyone out when I was a teenager. It was horrific and shocking. There was an issue with the judge on the case as well after the murderers were caught and put on trial which caused the families of the victims to have to be subjected to reliving this tragedy again. The Channon Christian Act came about and would do away with the state's 13th juror rule, which requires a judge to validate a jury verdict by signing a document.
Thankful for this system in Ohio. As a survivor myself I could have a little peace for 15 years to know I'd be notified as a minor victim. After 18 they no longer do updates for everything, appeals, prison movements, etc. There should also be a system AFTER release for parole updates.
Blows my absolute mind when someone is facing the death penalty( when there is without a doubt they did it ), all of a sudden they value life(even if it'sonly their own ) ...I'll never understand 😪.
What needs to be done is that the person in charge of releasing Charles to the lower security needs to be charged with Charles and held accountable for the crimes that were committed because of their insane decision to set this man loose on society. Until they are held accountable this will continue to happen. You know how the getaway driver gets charged with the bank robbers because they are all involved?? This is the same thing - and they are responsible for what that felon is doing out in society! Do they even realize that their mistake cost 3 lives??!!?? Violent offenders need to be labelled as such, serve 100% of their prison sentence and never be allowed to be held anywhere but maximum security. This is not rocket science people. Simple rules would have kept these women safe (and everyone in society, because he clearly was a danger to anyone!) Why are we allowing this violent offender ANY CHANCE to be among ANYBODY ever again??? It defy’s logic!! Where is the accountability?? What happened to the people that made the decision to move him??? NOTHING!!!! This needs to change ASAP. Why didn’t any of these neighbors call police?? Back In my neighborhood in the ‘80’s - if we saw someone out of place in the neighborhood our next call was to the police. And they would respond sometimes even catching the criminal still at the scene if it was a burglary.
I agree, they should be held accountable. And every SA in prison should've gotten him more time tacked on, the assault on his wife should've gotten him more time. But I think if he was ever released, he would've done this. Even after 45 or more years. I think the victims should've moved far away, and maybe even been given new identities. She could've also changed her name legally herself.
Why should the victims move? The did nothing wrong. That's victim blaming to suggest they could've changed names.The monster should be condemned to strict prisons for long terms most never to be released. Our laws should reflect how the ppl. feel not fretting about the perps privacy or feelings.what are these rich ass politicians doing for our $?
The argument they made about them being dead before they were assaulted makes no sense, for sure. But even if they are going to say that they were already dead, abuse of a corpse/necrophilia is also a crime... On top of it being ridiculous that they were trying to make that argument to begin with, it just seems like a really bizarre argument to try to make.
I honestly don't think many people know they exist. TH-cam loves to throw out new features...tell NOBODY....then let us all scramble to figure it out when someone finally catches it lol.
@@DanelleHallan lol of course! But loved to see those guidelines pop up before I typed. I literally heard your voice reading them! Hope it makes people think twice before leaving those unwanted comments!!
@@lorimoore5589 I’m on the TH-cam app on my iPhone! When I first clicked to add a comment it popped right up before I could even type! It doesn’t do it every time. Only happened when I went to type my first comment.
Snohomish County: Meh. He does this all the time. It's nothing new. Washington State Parole Board: Let's let him out. What's the worst that could happen? 😑🤦♀️
It's too bad none of the neighbors who saw him didn't call the police. I wonder if it would have helped? I may not have heard you right but if I did I can't believe she stayed in the same house!!!
I swear the judicial system has failed so many people and its about time to reevaluate and figure out what actually needs to be done about serious crimes like these and harsher punishment for these kinds of things. I will never understand "the law". When these people just get a slap on the wrist, they think well I can do whatever I want and not get in that much trouble.
I’m going to have to watch this video twice because I’m getting so into looking at that adorable kitten cuddle puddle on the bed! Not mad about it at all though, love your videos and all the good you’re doing!
Please, please, please talk about Jetsetta Gage. Her tragic story prompted major change. I haven't heard anyone talk about her yet, and she deserves to have her story told. At the time of her murder, I lived in the same apartment complex as her in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, so she was my "talk" about the dangers of strangers, people who hurt children, etc...
Yes very sad that the victims are the guilty party in courts! Did anybody care about those three people that died? While he made all his appeals!? Guilty people cannot have all this help to stay alive or get out of prison when the victims have none. Hey great little kittys.
Please, please, please share Amber Hagerman’s story! She is the reason for the Amber Alert System, which has been a huge system in bringing kids home safely! Unfortunately, Amber never had the chance to come home and her story deserves to be told!
As you were telling the story, this guy terrified me so much that in the middle of the video I had to google him to see if he was still alive. It made me feel so vulnerable and scared.
I don’t know what I’m focusing on more. The adorable batch of kittens in your room, or the story. I might have to watch twice because right now, respectfully the kittens are taking the lead. ☺️
you put so much work into your videos and they are always sooo well done...but i kept getting distracted by the pile of cats on the bed lol. i would love to know if you are fostering, or a cat gramma. i sure notice that they are happy little kitties!!
i love you and your channel so much! 😊 but dang these cases make me so angry. prisons seem to release all the wrong people and lock up the non violent ones 🙄
This is a really good idea for a series. Helps people know the laws, why they are important and where they originated while telling the victims story.I like this a lot
Danelle we love you! Thank you for constantly putting out amazing content. Also, I for sure think the kitties should always be featured in your videos :)
Infuriating, sad, tragic and I have no words for how disgusted I am, this piece of shit took 4 lives ( including Barbara's Husband) and destroyed many others, I love your channel, and your cats laying on the bed where just a breath of fresh air and cuteness in this dark story and world.Thank you for your awesome job ! 💕It always amazes me how the families of the victims try their best to help others after going through such horrific losses , and do their best to change this broken system...
I may be saying this wrong but, hunting is fun until the rabbit have a gun. I don't understand how so many killers are big and bad while walking around free. They can careless about a person an human being begging for their life. When they are caught they lie about the crime even after bragging to folks, they beg for their life please don't give me the death penalty but they didn't care about the people begging. How are u scared to die but didn't give a care about the lives u taken. I'm pretty sure they were scared to die too.
kittens oh my god!!! i’m only 5 minutes in they’re so adorable!! edit: i’m like 50 minutes in and okay what did this man do to get such good treatment when he was clearly deranged and unstable. it’s like law enforcement said “there’s no way a sexually violent sociopath with no sense of morals would go back and kill the people he said he’d kill… let’s let him out only 10 miles away!” it sounds like they were studying him to see if he’d actually do it. either that or whoever made those decisions clearly is too dumb to be in such a position. here i am again saying law enforcement should have an iq limit because people who have horrible judgment should not be in charge of the wellbeing of society! his own mother begged for him to not be transferred and they ignored her???? and committing crimes literally every other day is somehow the behavior of a model prisoner. ah i didn’t know that! i think a toddler could do a better job at assessing prisoners. this is one of those situations where i hope whoever was involved in his release is kept up at night knowing they caused the death of three innocent people. i really don’t care if it’s “wrong”, i genuinely hope they’re tortured by it and quit their jobs so their stupidity doesn’t lead to death again. i’m rly into planes and i always joke about ATC being way too laidback and indifferent for the nature of their job, but this is like the way more morbid and aggravating version. i couldn’t care less abt the actual murderer because it was inevitable that he’d kill, but my blood boils thinking of the people who allowed him to do it. the kittens in the background made this easier to digest, but it’s still such a stupidly frustrating case.
My favorite author, the late Ann Rule, did a short story on this case in the back of one of her books (I've read everything by her, and I don't remember what book exactly). This is one case that has definitely stuck with me, so I almost had a heart attack when I realized that I know this case.
Do you think that there was a kick back arrangement between the prison and the businesses that the inmates were providing cheap labour for? So there was motivation to get inmates into that program regardless of suitability?
I will say as an ex Juvenile Court Counselor there are no real consequences for kids who commit crimes unless it is extreme. They focus more on rehabilitation by providing mental health services or prosocial activities but even then that is also unsuccessful.
The mental health services those kids really need is teaching them consequences for their behaviors so they will develop healthy consciences. Our society needs to realize that administering appropriate consequences is not a form of emotional abuse, but helps children develop into happy and productive adults, while protecting society.
Theres a case of a missing young man (21) from Plymouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. His name is Zack LeFave his been missing since January 1st 2021 I dont personally know him but I follow the facebook page for him and his family is brokenhearted wondering what happened to him. Maybe getting more coverage would help solve his case!!
I think it's hilarious when these evil killers get scared and fight when it's time to carry out there death sentence. Karma, God, whatever you want to call it always come calling. Especially if your an evil person.
I absolutely love your videos anyway. However, I have even deeper love and respect for you with the "educational video series" (I just named that now haha). I recently learnt about Andrew Harper's BRUTAL death in the UK. His wife, Lissie fought years to introduce Harper's law, which came into force last week (28 of June 2022 i believe). Which allows people to be sentenced to life if they kill a emergency worker whilst committing a crime. I may be actually Australian, but that was a case has effected me lately. You would be the ideal prefect to bring light to Andrews story, whilst also educating people ☺️ Sorry to ramble to much ! Hope everyone ans thier families are doing well, keeping safe and healthy 😅
I was going to say the same about Harpers Law! I just watched MrBallens video on his tragic death and it gutted me. I can't imagine less than 30 days after I marry the love of my life, he is taken from me in such a violent fashion. Then those boys showed absolutely no remorse and were laughing and smirking when walking out of the courtroom. Absolutely disgusting. I hope they rot in hell honestly. That story struck a real chord in me! Definitely hit hard.
Danelle, you probably already know of this one but MrBallen recently uploaded a video titled "They had to make a special law because of him". I would highly recommend you do a video about that story.

8 years??!! Am I doing the math right there? 8 years for a series of violent crimes including raping a woman in front of her daughter??!! That's disgusting.
Agree. The tragedy is, that those giving irresponsible verdicts like that are NOT the ones to pay the price. I wonder if they absolutely knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that if they mucked up the killer would come after their wives, their daughters, if that verdict would turn out the same!
@@blushingviolet5928 This is the #1 reason why I support the death penalty, although in this case I don't think it would have been warranted until after the murders. This creep was sentenced to 45 years, but after 5 years had more and more freedom to the point where he was able to get off on his own to kill these poor ladies and little girl. People who think that life in prison is good enough are naive if they think that no idiot in the future will let them out on "good behavior" and more innocent people will die. Further on in the video now and it gets more disturbing how many times this guy could have been stopped and wasn't.
@@lizajane2971 to see how these murders were entirely preventable was the hardest thing for me.
Huh. 8 years for even MURDER sounds like UK sentencing 🙄. It's a joke over here too!
I think it wasn't even 8 years. Around 6, as he was arrested 2 or 3 years after
Only 7 minutes into the video but I just can't get over the CUTENESS of your kittens in the background! 😍
I was just gonna say the exact same thing! Kittens! I love seeing her cats in background:)
It's a literal pile of tiny kitty cuteness!!! So cute!! I' m not even listening to poor Danielle!
Absolutely beautiful…The little panther in the beginning 💕💕💕
I’m Lmaoooo cuz I came to the comments just to see how many people mentioned them and this is the first one! I’m not paying attention to Danielle either cuz that one black kitty strutting around by itself is just killing me with all of its cuteness!
KITTENNNZZZ!!!!!!
It was hard focusing on this story, with all the kittens in the background, LOL. They are absolutely adorable. Especially the little black one. This story is heartbreaking, my heart goes out to the loved ones.
I’m working so I have only been listening! Then I started to read comments and found out there’s kittens!!!!😳🥰😳🥰😳🥰😳🥰
He was so cute in the video. 😺
I thought that was a blanket! LOL
I.
I had the same problem!
I think kittens should be in EVERY TH-cam video Danielle! So freaking cute! Thanks for sharing:)
they're heart melting
Do you happen to know how many kittens Danelle has?! I was trying to count and then I'd miss the story..LOL
@@laurieclarkson9180 maybe 6. It's hard to tell because they are all dark and um not sure how many are behind her
I too believe that kittens should have at least a background role in every video from now on lol! ❤️
Awe! They really are so beautiful! These horrifying cases need a little something to give us faith in humanity! And baby animals often tick off that box!
I live in New Mexico and there was a violent crime victim named Katie Sepich that had a law created for her. she was attacked outside of her home, raped, dismembered, burned and scattered all over the town. Her attacker was another violent criminal that wasn’t caught until he committed another crime and his dna was taken. Katie’s law was made for her and has been passed in several states since. This law requires that anyone arrested on a violent crime must submit a DNA sample.
We here in kc had a cases like that just look up the name Kyler yust an you'll see, the parents don't have laws but definitely took 10 years an 2 young ladies dying for them to capture him
@@babyphatpenut Oh God, I've heard about that case. Some other true crime channel talked about it. It is infuriating and incredibly sad. The guy is a total psycho. W/o any respect for human life. Obviously, all killers are like that, but there's something so evil about him.
@@DoraSometimes this whole comment tho yes very much so a psycho I'm so glad we finally got justice the most irritating part is if they leo done did there job Jess would be here
Omg that is horrible like why do these ppl keep getting out
@@Stateyourclaim Right? Why is the system designed to protect offenders and not victims?
Hanging for a guy who slit the throats and violated the bodies of 2 ladies and a little girl is absolutely not cruel punishment! Really glad this guy will never have the chance to hurt anyone again!
I like that he balled up in the fetal position and acted like the B he really was
Agreed. That's why I don't like that punishment. He deserves cruel punishment.
@Andrew Dorsey you first
I'm so glad he was scared as a biatch when they hung him.
You forgot strangling the dog and who knows what else .
"Well he told me he'd get revenge on all the people who put him in prison. And then he drove by his victims home a few times, you know, one of people who put him in prison? Then he got drunk and left and I noticed my kitchen knife missing, so I went about my normal day" stellar person, that Judith Dirks...
You took the words right out of my mouth; dude isn't even good looking. How in the world did he get any woman???
She should've been in prison too. I hope neither of his kids are like him.
@@michelleprieur1 you think that’s crazy. Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez are among a few known serial killers who have droves of women who want them. Fan mail and the whole bit. I can’t understand it.
@@michelleprieur1 maby a FEW THOUGHT he was, but no,he's barely average
She worked in the prison aswel as a drug & alcohol advisor.. the irony would be hilarious if it wasn't so disgusting & tragic.
I get so infuriated when people ask survivors of sa why they didn’t report. Sometimes it makes this shit worse. The judicial system is built to fail survivors and protect abusers / those in power. What a preventable tragedy. I’m only half way thru this video and I’m crying. Rest In Peace. Thank you for sharing danelle.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with your statement!! The perpetrators SHOULD be the ones being treated like the criminals that they are!!
I agree, seems like the judicial system is more focused on protecting criminals' rights. It's sickening
I agree, ive been SA and the police made me feel like it was my fault and did the absolute minimum to catch him. Where im from you're lucky if it even gets to court and if it does the sentences are ridiculous you get more for involvement with drugs.
Sadly you’re correct! Here in Scotland, a lass from my high school was raped in 2001, she reported it then at trial in 2002 she was made to hold up the underwear she was wearing on the night three times!! Sadly the lassie took her own life a week before the verdict partly because of that court ordeal. Surprise surprise, her rapist was released early on “good behaviour” with a new name etc & her family weren’t notified, her mum literally bumped into him at the supermarket!!
@@AlbaFire that is horrible
Danelle, you have a knack for finding the most INFURIATING cases! I cannot believe they would let this man out on a work detail! I hold them responsible as well for those 3 deaths. Thank you for bringing attention to these victims!!
She DOES do infuriating cases!! I like to listen to true crime before I go to bed and I know that I CANNOT watch Danelle before bed because the cases she covers p*ss me off sooo bad that I can't even sleep. I'll be all frustrating and thinking about it all night!!
Yes she does it drives me nuts
@@laurieclarkson9180 j
If you ever need a case to justify the death penalty THIS IS THE ONE . Super sad
Well he was sentenced to 40 something years, not 8. And each offense (sexual assault of other inmates, not following the rules, rape of his ex wife) should have added years
Unfortunately, here in Washington they have abolished it.
I wish people with such violent intentions and repeat behaviors like this would just get put down because they offer nothing good in the world and are beyond help.
It’s also such a cowardly behavior this man showed when going to be hanged because clearly he was terrified but didn’t think of how his victims felt being tormented for lengthy suffering.
It was cowardly to strangle a dog,rape and murder women too.But then that's what he was.
When a pardon/parole board decide to allow someone like this out of prison before they have served their entire sentence and that person goes out and they assault someone else the members of that board who made a decision to let him go knowing his history and conduct inside the prison should be able ti be charged with accessory to whatever crime that offender committed
*parole boards* needs to be held to higher standards!!!
They should be removed from making these decisions at least...
When will they wake up to the fact that good behavior in prison means nothing!
PREACH!!!
CLASSIC COMMENT!!!
Completely agree!!
(My baby is a 1973 Dodge Duster)
It just means they are clever enough to play the system! People who were dealing drugs have had longer sentences than scum like this!
I agree! They are driven to be good because there's a benefit. They can get out on good behavior. It's just manipulation and nothing more. If they're bad outside of prison and they're good in prison then maybe they should stay in prison. I don't know just a thought. We like people being alive so maybe prison is where murderers should live. Crazy idea right?
And it wasn’t even good behaviour! He stile from the kitchens and SAed his cellmates!
The VINE system is a good idea In theory... But here in Ohio most inmates are released between 8am-10am. But the victims don't get the automated call until 6pm saying the offender has been released. I signed up to get updated info for my abusive ex. And my "robot" call came through at 6:02pm. I could have been dead by then.
They should alert people the day or 2 before so they have time to make plans if needed.
Hopefully the vine system gets better with their alerts.
Same here in Iowa. I was supposed to be alerted when a man who sexually abused me when I was 13 would be released. It didn't tell me until about 12 hours after he was released.
I already knew he was being released beforehand due to a victims unit here, fortunately. But if I hadn't been in contact with them before, I wouldn't have known until hours later that he was out. Very scary. Hopefully it does get better.
Something is seriously broken in the Washington Judicial system that a man who held a knife to a kid’s throat while raping the mother was ever given anything other than life in prison or the death penalty.
Plus he strangled a dog,which is bad enough,but it's prelude to other crimes.
Sadly most states judicial systems are like that.
Omg! Those kittens! An added bonus! Love you and how you tell these stories! You are just wonderful! ❤️
They are soo cute🖤🖤🖤
Omg i know i I literally melted. Were trying to breed our 2 kitties atm so may have our on kittens in the future!
Don't breed them!!! Adopt! Do realize thousands of sweet innocent kittens are murdered every week at the pound.duh!
One of the laws I know is in the UK a young girl named Sarah Payne was murdered and after that Sarah's Law came into place. This meant people could call 101 or the police and ask for any background information about anyone in contact with their child to check for any child sex offenders. It has been used 708 times by parents or guardians in the UK.
That’s awesome, but how does it get around peoples privacy laws?? You would think law enforcement would not be able to give info about anyone…to another person who is not other law enforcement. Has it been in law very long?? I wonder if there will be civil rights complaints about it?? That is awesome. In Canada we can’t even get a list of sex offenders in our area. We have a long way too go!!
@@wordsleuth992 It was rolled out to all police forces in England and Wales in 2011. Once an enquiry is made police officers look into the background of the individual before confidentially revealing information to the parent or guardian. The police will only disclose the information if they believe it to be in the interest of the child’s safety. It should be a law in every country that you can see a list of child predators for the safety of everyone.
I just saw her story on Truly Criminal. Sarah's mother is an inspiration and a very strong person.
@@EvilStrikesTrueCrimeChannel that is awesome
@@leahvogelsimpson she really is. I will never forget her story, I remember when it happened I was 11 at the time. I watched it on Truly too they did a good job covering her story. I think they are getting so much better with editing etc these days . They are doing really well.
Judith should totally have gotten trouble as well. How would you NOT report that?! I'm absolutely stunned.
absolutely insanity that he was let out on work release. especially seeing as how he clearly wasn’t being supervised while out?!?! his own mom writing to them saying he needed to be in a high security prison and if he wasn’t “it would end badly” jesus christ 😭those poor woman and child!!!! may they rest in peace
This case has always given me chills, because it’s one of my biggest fears come true. The idea of someone attacking me and coming back years later is so scary.
Extremely scary.
The exact same thing happened to my grandmother. I never got to meet her but she was raped by a man and he wasn’t even out a month and he came back and had been stalking her house all night and eventually broke in. She was killed, along with my dads 4 year old little brother and my dad was shot, but was the only survivor. He was 8 and he still remembers every single detail. They didn’t believe in therapy back then, which he desperately needed. It still affects him to this day
Wow, I'm so tired of the many chances these psychopaths get. It's really not fair to us law abiding citizens, especially us women.
I’ve got a case that I’ve been trying to get covered by someone with a decent following because of how close it hits to home and the fact that it really touches on false/coerced confessions made by an individual with a learning disability. I really want this case to get more coverage- and I’ve kinda got an inside scoop on it. My husband grew up in the home that the murders took place. Slept in the bedroom where a mother and child were killed, and worked with a close friend of one of the murderers. The case was covered by dateline a while back, but that’s all I’ve seen of it. The episode was called “Murder on Cling Lane” if I remember correctly. Robert Davis, one of the three teens convicted of the crime, was found to have made a false confession due to the police being *really* shitty during his interrogation. I believe he spent ten years behind bars, and was released in 2013. The murders took place in 2003, and my husband and his mom were the first people to move into the home after it was repaired (the killers had attempted to burn it down). The whole story is both fascinating and utterly tragic- I’m amazed it hasn’t gotten more coverage! If this case peaks your interest, I’d love to help you do some research on it and get it out there. It’s definitely impacted how police conduct interviews in my area, but I’m not sure if any particular laws have been put in place regarding interviews of developmentally disables individuals. Perhaps you could do a series on false/coerced confessions?
Apologies for the long comment and any spelling/grammar errors! It’s hard to type on my phone and even harder to revise 😂.
I believe she has a case suggestion form in the discriptiom box.
I’m definitely interested in hearing more about this story!
Is this a Canadian case?
I am at the end now and this was an atrocity of justice. 🤬
Edit: How this PoS played the system. They should have treated him the way he treated his victims, minus the death, those ten years.
I agree. It seems criminals have more rights than the people they victimized sometimes.
Unless the justice system is using a program that relies on a random algorithm, there are real people with names responsible for the decisions that gave this guy opportunities to commit more burglaries, assaults and murder. THEY are responsible , not some nameless , faceless system. 😡
I love that you care about the victims. Thanks so much for not just being another TH-cam who talks about all the same cases over and over again. You're awesome!
This was a really tough case to listen to - however - having your beautiful cats and kittens in the background certainly helped to lessen the horror of the story - so thank you for that.
What a coward . He sure didn’t mind taking others lives and even that of a child. Cruel and unusual punishment is not what happened to him . It’s what he did to others .
Imagine your loved one being SA’d and child being traumatized and you decide to divorce and move away. What type of “MAN” is that. I hope he holds guilt in his heart.
He probably does feel guilt. I think she probably also closed down and that relationship just couldnt heal.. Just my thoughts..
It probably wasn't all his fault. She could have contributed a lot of what led to the divorce. He may have been the most understanding, helpful husband and she just wouldn't accept help or anything. That happens more than people realize. Its not always the mans fault. I don't know the actual situation so it could have been all him but to not know exactly what happened and still judge that man is wrong. Especially because he lost his daughter, the woman he loved and a good friend all in one horrible tragedy. We have to have some compassion and empathy or we're no better than the sociopaths/psychopaths that commit these crimes. And I am sure he feels a tremendous amount of guilt. It probably eats at him daily that he wasn't there and didn't protect them.
The only person who is guilty is the monster who killed them. The ex husband has nothing to do with what happened, couples split up all the time. It has nothing to do with this case. Could be many reasons the relationship broke down. Cant stay together and one or both of you be unhappy just because. I've been married 25 years and I love my husband but I tell my kids not to get married.
After reading Ann Rule's book, I got the impression that Jack Wicklund was further collateral damage of Campbell. I believe that Jack could never forgive himself for not being there to protect his wife, from the first attack by Campbell. Regardless, Jack Wicklund was killed in a car accident shortly after the couple divorced. This was years before the murders.
@@valley_crime wow another tragedy
Judges need to be held accountable for letting these murderers out. All 3 would of lived if he had stayed put in prison. That being said, those kitty's are too adorable ❤️
I cannot imagine how it must feel to love someone so deeply and spend so much of your life with them only for them to decide that since you have trauma symptoms I can no longer be with you. My partner and I have been together for years and I was assaulted just as we got together. He has helped me through every bit of the healing process and will continue to and I am so grateful to have that since apparently it's not just a common curtesy extended to survivors by loved ones.
Absolutely this!!! I am so glad you are getting through your trauma and that your partner is helping you! You are a strong, amazing person! Don't ever forget that! ❤️
Living with someone who has trauma or mental health issues can take a toll on the other person's mental health too. Maybe the partner has their own mental health issues too. Most people are not mental health professionals, it's not their job to heal you. Nobody is obligated to stay with you just because you have trauma and everybody has the right to look out for their own mental health first. Also, there could have been other reasons for the breakup, people can just fall out of love.
@@AngelDeed obviously there's more to it because every relationship is so unique as is each individual, however I have heard this happen in a lot of cases I've listened to recently and so seeing a pattern I made a comment on my opinion about it. No one is obligated to stay with anyone of course, I'd never say such a thing. It just surprises me that a spouse can see their partner suffering and choose to leave them alone in that place. It does seem like a terrible thing to do to someone, rather than encouraging them to get help and using healthy boundary setting etc
@@AngelDeed Yes, because being selfish and all about yourself is what it’s all about…
Who says he left her? It is also very possible her trauma led her to have issues with the relationship and her husband.
i get so LIVID when i see a case that could so clearly have been prevented. at multiple points, these three lives could have been saved if things would have just been done right in the first place. it’s just blasphemy to me that this man was given any kind of free roam abilities at all given how obvious it was that he’d hurt every single person who crossed his path. my heart hurts for all three victims, but specifically 8 year old Shanna. that little girl had to see her own mother, already murdered in the most gruesome way, then she was attacked and killed herself. it just tears my heart into shreds thinking about something like that.
These offenders are often products of parents/authority figures who withhold consequences for unacceptable behavior in childhood. Without consequences, they don't develop a conscience, so become narcissistic sociopaths or psychopaths. It makes no sense that the criminal justice system reinforces what those offenders learned throughout childhood, putting society at risk. Then, it's ridiculous that criminals are rewarded for "good behavior" in prison when they don't have the same opportunities to fulfill their inclinations while locked away from society, but in this case the guy wasn't even well-behaved in prison yet was still rewarded for good behavior. These murders were entirely preventable.
This was covered so thoroughly and well. Thank you for making sure the victims' voices are heard. I was reminded of the boomerang effect violence and murder causes. From Renee's fear and unshakable uneasiness after her assault, to the resulting divorce. And then the wonderful neighbors were innocently caught up in the horror of the crime as well (with Barbara ultimately losing her life) and her husband being so traumatized by what he saw that he had to numb the pain with drinking and drugs, that eventually no doubt contributed to his death. And of course, the beautiful little girl, who was twice victimized and then murdered by Charles. The results of all this seems to be never ending. And as many have said, seeing so many places where the murders could have been prevented (if the justice system was working properly) is disgusting and tragic. Huge mistakes were made with no reprecussions except to the victims. So unfair and deadly. 😔
First true crime TH-camr I ever found! Still going strong all these years later! Thanks for everything you do Danelle!
Edit-- oh my those kittens!!!!!
Cases like this make me so damn mad. The justice system does not care one bit when it comes to women and children. It’s disgusting.
As a professional victim and family advocate, this case is absolutely gutting.
Judith should have been charged for failing to intervene
@danellehallan
Renae was one of my very best friends niece. Clearview is still small but was absolutely tiny until the 1990, it is 4 and a half miles of land. It was a very much a few streets in the woods. This case was HUGE in Snohomish County. My father was high up in the government staff beginning at the end of 1980. This was a major screwup, because before this happened they, as I understand it, there was no written rules about rapists being released on work release. I was only 12, when the murders happened. I am pretty sure that she lived on 180th St off of HWY 9. Back then Hwy 9 was only a 2 lane highway.
KING5 news did a 12 part series in May 1994, the day of the execution.
My mom ran directly into the swat team with fully decked out with their AR rifles while they were escorting Campbell to court. There were SO many death threats against him. He was flown out of the Snohomish County Airport (where I worked from 1988 to 1992).
Campbell was a huge pos... in my opinion. While in prison he grew into a seriously obese man. He fought the justice system the entire time. He said that it would be cruel punishment to execute him by hanging because the noose would decapitate him.
Shannah was literally decapitated but for the skin of the back neck. It is such a devastating ordeal. I feel so sorry for Don who lost his soul mate. All because of revenge.
Monroe is in Snohomish County. But he was transferred to the county jail... and then released on work release.
Work release was out of the Snohomish County jail and he walked off the crew. In Snohomish County work release the do garbage maintenance off the side of the highway.
I know it is ridiculous.
So much of this State wanted him to die. He was so EVIL.
The employee who got pregnant, in Monroe, got pregnant while he was in the prison. Anyone who has that of poor judgment to have sex with an inmate in the prison where you work, it is not surprising that she didn't say anything about his vindictivness. Judge Thibodeau was a really good judge. This case was absolutely horrible.
Like I said, I was 12 when the murders happened, but I was 24, married and just pregnant with my 1st child, when the earth was relieved of the scumbag Campbell. I have some serious feelings about this case and the horrific miscarriage of justice. I know that I have more information on this case, if you want to know more please let me know .
The Clearview Cafe sold white t-shirts that said "Hang in there, Campbell!!! with a noose on it. They were sold out before the execution.
What a big strong man, raping and killing his victims, he went crying like the little b* he was. It took like 12 guards to get him on the board and brought to the gallows. He was over 350 lbs.
Also, in January of 1993, in Clark County Washington, Vancouver, WA, Westley Allan Dodd was hanged for raped and murdered 3 little boys in September and October, 1989. (brothers ages 10 and 11 in one attack and a 4 year old separately). He was caught after trying to abduct a 6 yr old, just 1 week after his last murder... when he failed, he fled,but his ca4 broke down on the highway a couple miles away. The boy told his family immediately and the hunt did not take very long. Even though his crimes were long after Campbell's, he asked for his sentence to be escalated. He waived all appeals and was executed by hanging in the first week of 1993. He was the first execution in decades. In 2018, Washington abolished the death penalty. P.S. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, huge fan for years
Thank you for sharing your personal connection to this case! I like hearing from neighbors and people in the community where the crime occured. I hope everything has calmed down somewhat for yall! Much love ❤️
Thank you Jana. I am usually a quiet observer, but this case has always gotten to me. It was one horrific event after another. My dad commuted for 18 months and we were moving from Oregon to Edmonds, Wa.. Campbell's hometown. On May 3rd one of my friends disappeared and her body was found on May 6th. She was murdered by a 14 6r old 8th grader. He beat her to death with a hockey stick, that was found in his school locker in pieces.
He was sentenced at 16 to get out on his 21 birthday with no record. It is insane but that's the justice system.
I literally had to watch twice, bcuz I couldn't stop giggling at the little black kitten being so cute jumping to attack his own shadow, as well as trying to wake his/her siblings to play!! so cute!!
I always look forward to your videos. I love how you talk about cases that other True Crime youtubers don’t really cover and you’re always so respectful to the victims ❤️
She puts her pours her heart into these cases like if she knew the victims. I personally find it insulting when other channels do their makeup whilst talking about true crimes. Like if it was some casual conversation.
Completely agree! Danelle’s openness and empathy is a perfect match with her determination!!

The irony of him not having any regard for anyone else’s life, but he fights for his own life. I feel for the victims family members, it was senseless. The justice system needs some serious reform.
Any kind of parole for violent offenders is a terrible, terrible thing. I will never change my mind on this. It causes so much additional suffering for victims and their families.
KITTENS!!! ♥♥♥ Aside from the cuteness, thank you for being such a vocal advocate for victims. This story is infuriating!
His own mom said he should be locked up and the key lost. This didn’t clue in the officials that he didn’t deserve any good behavior points? These crimes are just as much the state’s fault as his. If they had done their job properly these women would have lived.
I live in Knoxville, TN. I remember the murders of Chris Newsom and Channon Christian really freaked everyone out when I was a teenager. It was horrific and shocking. There was an issue with the judge on the case as well after the murderers were caught and put on trial which caused the families of the victims to have to be subjected to reliving this tragedy again. The Channon Christian Act came about and would do away with the state's 13th juror rule, which requires a judge to validate a jury verdict by signing a document.
I live in Chattanooga and I remember that case as well. It was horrific and sad.
Thankful for this system in Ohio. As a survivor myself I could have a little peace for 15 years to know I'd be notified as a minor victim. After 18 they no longer do updates for everything, appeals, prison movements, etc. There should also be a system AFTER release for parole updates.
Blows my absolute mind when someone is facing the death penalty( when there is without a doubt they did it ), all of a sudden they value life(even if it'sonly their own ) ...I'll never understand 😪.
Never heard anything so foul in my life. The justice system has blood on their hands.
I'm so in love with the pallet cleansing kittens. Not so in love with this dudes ability to leave prison. RIP and love to all involved
What needs to be done is that the person in charge of releasing Charles to the lower security needs to be charged with Charles and held accountable for the crimes that were committed because of their insane decision to set this man loose on society. Until they are held accountable this will continue to happen. You know how the getaway driver gets charged with the bank robbers because they are all involved?? This is the same thing - and they are responsible for what that felon is doing out in society! Do they even realize that their mistake cost 3 lives??!!??
Violent offenders need to be labelled as such, serve 100% of their prison sentence and never be allowed to be held anywhere but maximum security. This is not rocket science people. Simple rules would have kept these women safe (and everyone in society, because he clearly was a danger to anyone!) Why are we allowing this violent offender ANY CHANCE to be among ANYBODY ever again??? It defy’s logic!! Where is the accountability?? What happened to the people that made the decision to move him??? NOTHING!!!! This needs to change ASAP.
Why didn’t any of these neighbors call police?? Back In my neighborhood in the ‘80’s - if we saw someone out of place in the neighborhood our next call was to the police. And they would respond sometimes even catching the criminal still at the scene if it was a burglary.
I agree, they should be held accountable. And every SA in prison should've gotten him more time tacked on, the assault on his wife should've gotten him more time.
But I think if he was ever released, he would've done this. Even after 45 or more years. I think the victims should've moved far away, and maybe even been given new identities. She could've also changed her name legally herself.
Why should the victims move? The did nothing wrong. That's victim blaming to suggest they could've changed names.The monster should be condemned to strict prisons for long terms most never to be released. Our laws should reflect how the ppl. feel not fretting about the perps privacy or feelings.what are these rich ass politicians doing for our $?
Why the heck was this guy granted parole?!?! He should’ve been serving a life sentence in prison! He’s a lunatic! 🤦♂️🤬
Parole boards need to be held to higher standards!! Something needs to be changed!!
The argument they made about them being dead before they were assaulted makes no sense, for sure. But even if they are going to say that they were already dead, abuse of a corpse/necrophilia is also a crime... On top of it being ridiculous that they were trying to make that argument to begin with, it just seems like a really bizarre argument to try to make.
Every authority involved in this case should be held responsible.
Look at this hair! Love the braid. But LOVING the guidelines for this channel.. why aren’t more YT channels doing this?!
I honestly don't think many people know they exist. TH-cam loves to throw out new features...tell NOBODY....then let us all scramble to figure it out when someone finally catches it lol.
@@DanelleHallan lol of course! But loved to see those guidelines pop up before I typed. I literally heard your voice reading them! Hope it makes people think twice before leaving those unwanted comments!!
Where did you see guidelines?
@@lorimoore5589 I’m on the TH-cam app on my iPhone! When I first clicked to add a comment it popped right up before I could even type! It doesn’t do it every time. Only happened when I went to type my first comment.
@@T333kz Thank you! It didn't happen for me but I was using a tablet so maybe that's why. It should show up no matter what device you use.
The fact that he could easily get out and murder these 3 innocent people infuriates me! And his GF not speaking up, their blood are on her hands.
Snohomish County: Meh. He does this all the time. It's nothing new.
Washington State Parole Board: Let's let him out. What's the worst that could happen?
😑🤦♀️
This is why people don't speak up about sexual assault.
Stay safe everyone the world is crazy and hope you have a good day
OMG THE DEFENSE SAYING SHE WASNT SA’D WOW I AM SO MAD
It's too bad none of the neighbors who saw him didn't call the police. I wonder if it would have helped? I may not have heard you right but if I did I can't believe she stayed in the same house!!!
I swear the judicial system has failed so many people and its about time to reevaluate and figure out what actually needs to be done about serious crimes like these and harsher punishment for these kinds of things. I will never understand "the law". When these people just get a slap on the wrist, they think well I can do whatever I want and not get in that much trouble.
His mum's response gave me full body goosebumps. Imagine carrying a child for 9ish months and THAT is what you get...
Okay my support of this channel just went thru the roof… YOU FOSTER!!!
@danellehallen amazing coverage!
Anyone else automatically hit the like button before the video even starts? 💯🕵🏻♀️❤️
LOL yeppers!
Happy to see you bring back the series! It’s awesome to see and become educated on laws and different ways these cases have helped in future cases
The unsolved case of Amber Hagerman in Texas 1996...that inspired todays missing children "Amber alert"
Already on the list!
I’m going to have to watch this video twice because I’m getting so into looking at that adorable kitten cuddle puddle on the bed! Not mad about it at all though, love your videos and all the good you’re doing!
Please, please, please talk about Jetsetta Gage. Her tragic story prompted major change. I haven't heard anyone talk about her yet, and she deserves to have her story told.
At the time of her murder, I lived in the same apartment complex as her in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, so she was my "talk" about the dangers of strangers, people who hurt children, etc...
The black kitten with the bobbed tail has my heart 💕
Yes very sad that the victims are the guilty party in courts! Did anybody care about those three people that died? While he made all his appeals!? Guilty people cannot have all this help to stay alive or get out of prison when the victims have none. Hey great little kittys.
Please, please, please share Amber Hagerman’s story! She is the reason for the Amber Alert System, which has been a huge system in bringing kids home safely! Unfortunately, Amber never had the chance to come home and her story deserves to be told!
sentenced to 40 years in prison and had 35 years of that dismissed for good behavior? what about the bad behavior that earned him that sentence?
As you were telling the story, this guy terrified me so much that in the middle of the video I had to google him to see if he was still alive. It made me feel so vulnerable and scared.
Why Do thease People Get Let out
I don’t know what I’m focusing on more. The adorable batch of kittens in your room, or the story. I might have to watch twice because right now, respectfully the kittens are taking the lead. ☺️
you put so much work into your videos and they are always sooo well done...but i kept getting distracted by the pile of cats on the bed lol. i would love to know if you are fostering, or a cat gramma. i sure notice that they are happy little kitties!!
i love you and your channel so much! 😊 but dang these cases make me so angry. prisons seem to release all the wrong people and lock up the non violent ones 🙄
This is a really good idea for a series. Helps people know the laws, why they are important and where they originated while telling the victims story.I like this a lot
Danelle we love you! Thank you for constantly putting out amazing content. Also, I for sure think the kitties should always be featured in your videos :)
Infuriating, sad, tragic and I have no words for how disgusted I am, this piece of shit took 4 lives ( including Barbara's Husband) and destroyed many others, I love your channel, and your cats laying on the bed where just a breath of fresh air and cuteness in this dark story and world.Thank you for your awesome job ! 💕It always amazes me how the families of the victims try their best to help others after going through such horrific losses , and do their best to change this broken system...
All the cuteness in the background, love them. Always makes the cases easier to listen to. It's so sad people have to die for laws to change.
It's distracting❣️
I’m dying over your kitties! So cute!
The kittens!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can’t focus on the story I’m dyin from the sweet kittens!!
I may be saying this wrong but, hunting is fun until the rabbit have a gun. I don't understand how so many killers are big and bad while walking around free. They can careless about a person an human being begging for their life. When they are caught they lie about the crime even after bragging to folks, they beg for their life please don't give me the death penalty but they didn't care about the people begging. How are u scared to die but didn't give a care about the lives u taken. I'm pretty sure they were scared to die too.
kittens oh my god!!! i’m only 5 minutes in they’re so adorable!!
edit: i’m like 50 minutes in and okay what did this man do to get such good treatment when he was clearly deranged and unstable. it’s like law enforcement said “there’s no way a sexually violent sociopath with no sense of morals would go back and kill the people he said he’d kill… let’s let him out only 10 miles away!” it sounds like they were studying him to see if he’d actually do it. either that or whoever made those decisions clearly is too dumb to be in such a position. here i am again saying law enforcement should have an iq limit because people who have horrible judgment should not be in charge of the wellbeing of society! his own mother begged for him to not be transferred and they ignored her???? and committing crimes literally every other day is somehow the behavior of a model prisoner. ah i didn’t know that! i think a toddler could do a better job at assessing prisoners. this is one of those situations where i hope whoever was involved in his release is kept up at night knowing they caused the death of three innocent people. i really don’t care if it’s “wrong”, i genuinely hope they’re tortured by it and quit their jobs so their stupidity doesn’t lead to death again. i’m rly into planes and i always joke about ATC being way too laidback and indifferent for the nature of their job, but this is like the way more morbid and aggravating version. i couldn’t care less abt the actual murderer because it was inevitable that he’d kill, but my blood boils thinking of the people who allowed him to do it. the kittens in the background made this easier to digest, but it’s still such a stupidly frustrating case.
I can't stop staring at that pile of fluff muffins. 😍
My favorite author, the late Ann Rule, did a short story on this case in the back of one of her books (I've read everything by her, and I don't remember what book exactly). This is one case that has definitely stuck with me, so I almost had a heart attack when I realized that I know this case.
Love the kitty pile. Keep doing good work with the stories you cover.
And there are people serving life sentences for crack possession 😑 🙄
Do you think that there was a kick back arrangement between the prison and the businesses that the inmates were providing cheap labour for? So there was motivation to get inmates into that program regardless of suitability?
Always follow the money.....
The kitten action 🥺💜
🧡🧡🧡
Yep, criminal justice system is about maintaining justice for the criminals. Sick
I will say as an ex Juvenile Court Counselor there are no real consequences for kids who commit crimes unless it is extreme. They focus more on rehabilitation by providing mental health services or prosocial activities but even then that is also unsuccessful.
The mental health services those kids really need is teaching them consequences for their behaviors so they will develop healthy consciences. Our society needs to realize that administering appropriate consequences is not a form of emotional abuse, but helps children develop into happy and productive adults, while protecting society.
I’ve been here since your vlogging days! It was so comforting to me at a time while I was struggling as a single mum 😊 xx
Theres a case of a missing young man (21) from Plymouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. His name is Zack LeFave his been missing since January 1st 2021
I dont personally know him but I follow the facebook page for him and his family is brokenhearted wondering what happened to him. Maybe getting more coverage would help solve his case!!
I get (possibly) a year or two knocked off, but 37 years? Give me a break
I think it's hilarious when these evil killers get scared and fight when it's time to carry out there death sentence. Karma, God, whatever you want to call it always come calling. Especially if your an evil person.
so off topic but the kitty playing on the bed behind you at the beginning was the cutest thing ever 😭
Case starts at 4:04
I absolutely love your videos anyway. However, I have even deeper love and respect for you with the "educational video series" (I just named that now haha).
I recently learnt about Andrew Harper's BRUTAL death in the UK. His wife, Lissie fought years to introduce Harper's law, which came into force last week (28 of June 2022 i believe). Which allows people to be sentenced to life if they kill a emergency worker whilst committing a crime. I may be actually Australian, but that was a case has effected me lately. You would be the ideal prefect to bring light to Andrews story, whilst also educating people ☺️
Sorry to ramble to much ! Hope everyone ans thier families are doing well, keeping safe and healthy 😅
I was going to say the same about Harpers Law! I just watched MrBallens video on his tragic death and it gutted me. I can't imagine less than 30 days after I marry the love of my life, he is taken from me in such a violent fashion. Then those boys showed absolutely no remorse and were laughing and smirking when walking out of the courtroom. Absolutely disgusting. I hope they rot in hell honestly. That story struck a real chord in me! Definitely hit hard.
@@janasmith1682 Thats exactly where I learnt about Andrew's story !! It also made me sick his killers will get out the same age as Andrew died
Last time I checked, a corpse can’t give consent, so how was it not SA??
Danelle, you probably already know of this one but MrBallen recently uploaded a video titled "They had to make a special law because of him". I would highly recommend you do a video about that story.
