Patricia Wiltshire has even written a book! It's called 'Traces: The memoir of a forensic scientist and criminal investigator'. It's really good. A little bit serious, but has many crimes solved by identifying pollen and stuff
fair, but it's weird to use it for kids who are at the time only considered missing. that being said I use past tense all the time on accident bc it's the tense I write fiction in
Yes it concerns me as well when things like use of past tense which anyone may do innocently are highlighted. However, I'm usually comforted after hearing the whole story and realise that it wasnt the entirety of the prosecution's case, there're usually other factors that led to the police looking in the persons direction in the first place and when they decide to lay a charge.
The first one really bothers me. The guy had 11"inappropriate relationships with girls 11-17". Yet he was not put in jail? Why wait until he murders someone to put him in jail? The girls life could have been spared if the legal system had done its job.
Agreed, but if I remember correctly he was either in the process of being charged, there wasn't enough evidence to charge, or he kept moving to avoid charges. Still defo should've been put in the kiddie diddler torture chamber
I watched there documentary the other day from what I remember, they said he was moving round a lot so checks were not done as “easier” after this case in the uk it’s been made easier and checks are a must just like it should of been back then

Imagine, not remembering killing someone, then willingly going to the cops because you’re scared, to get relief from authority figures, and thinking that it’s all in your head….for all of that, just to be arrested and charged soon after.

That second case is WILD. If the contact case were open and her contacts were still in her eyes, she could’ve been killed just before she was going to take them out and head to bed. The fact he could face any prison time over that and the lack of evidence leaves me completely baffled.
Yeah, same. Whats even stopping her putting them back in after he leaves also?(not that its an unusual or farfetched notion that she could have just not bothered taking them out this time)That is the weakest evidence I've ever heard.

I remember the Soham murder case, it's actually probably one of my earliest memories . I was the same age as Holly and Jessica when they were murdered. I'm from Liverpool and remember at the time it was the first time my school had ever had an assembly on stranger danger and we were sent home with letters to our parents highlighting the importance of it and not trusting anyone we didn't know. Childrens parents at my school were changing their work schedules to ensure they could pick their kids up at the end of the day. It's even more disturbing that he was a school employee and it shocked the whole of the UK to find out that he was. Even now nearly 20 years later he's still in the news. He's a remorseless evil monster who hopefully will die a slow pain filled death
I'd agree with you here on everything except for the fact that the victims knew him and Carr and it wasn't on a school day. It's so sad that it took this case for your school to finally have a "stranger danger" assembly. Cases like this aren't rare and happen worldwide on a daily basis and I feel like that should have been part of your schools curriculum and absolutely mandatory for all to attend maybe once or twice a year starting in preschool/kindergarten.
the victims knew Huntley and Carr. The lecture should not just be about stranger danger, but about only trusting adults that your parents know and trust, and keep everyone else at arms length.
I think most child molesters are people the child knows. Parents should tell their kids to always let them know if anyone has touched their genitals or done anything “weird.”
Excellent work team! You guys bring attention to these crimes. More importantly, you remind us of the victims. You tell us of how they lived, not just how life was robbed from them. Thank you. Keep it up

When Holly and Jessica went missing, I was about their age. I constantly complained to my parents that they were being too overprotective not letting me go out and see my friends, or not letting me do what my friends did. I remember vividly being sat down by my dad in front of the TV watching this on the news, him telling me how easy it was for children to go missing. I never complained again
I'm confused. He said she was getting ready for bed when he left. The contact case was open. Her contacts were still in. Ok? So, she was getting ready for bed when she was ambushed and hadn't gotten around to taken them out yet. I mean, that is the dumbest "proof" of guilt I have ever heard. I can't believe they arrested him, the prosecutor actually agreed to charge him, he didn't have an attorney smart enough to point that out, and he was dumb enough to accept any kind of deal. WTF. I'm shook. How? How is that evidence?
I think it meant he was still in the house when that happened. If her contacts were in, that means she didn't finish getting ready for bed and her husband would still been home at the time of the murder.

“Analysis qualifications, Masters in criminal psychology” I find that extremely interesting for a crime channel, I was doing a bachelors for Social Sciences (psychology, sociology, criminology) but my health became too much of a burden for me to finish my studies, I’m mostly bedridden with permanent nerve damage and PTSD. I have a HND (equivalent to 2nd year of a degree) in social sciences so obv I don’t have a degree or a Masters, but I still massively enjoy these subjects, your analysis, and exploring the thought processes of criminals involved. Keep up the fantastic work, very much enjoy the analysis whilst storytelling!
We also convict people of crimes off circumstantial evidence way too much! Jurors, for some reason, always forget that it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt , I think there should have to be actual, provable evidence!
@@amber_Forever16 No kidding. The thought of being judged by a "jury of your peers" is one of the most unsettling things I can think of. I mean really ponder on it. The average person isn't real bright (being real nice here) and they're naïve at best and gullible as hell at worst. When it comes to getting convictions without smoking gun evidence, it's really just a matter of which lawyer can get the jury to like them and their story the best. A popularity contest of sorts. Nothing more. As easily as people are swayed into believing things, not to mention how the average person goes into trials with preconceived notions and pre-determined beliefs resulting from their upbringing and social circles, it scares the hell out of me to think of my fate being in the hands of such people.
This is the first time that i heard of a Forensic Botanist. I applaud them for going to a profession that's so rare. I'm amazed by that forensic botanist, and i know she won't see this but i thank her for doing an amazing job uncovering clues. Also, i'm glad to have found a new thing to look into. Forensic botanist seems interesting.
I'm a huge true crime fan (I rarely come across cases I haven't at least heard of it if not read/watched something about), but I'd never heard of a 'forensic botanist' either! I knew one could use _insect_ life cycles to help 'read' a scene, but I'm amazed how much info plants can provide when examined by such a trained eye. Really amazing.
Always takes me back when you cover cases so close to home. Huntley was from my home town. Between this and the Mccann disappearance I remember my Mum pretty much refusing to let me out of her sights when I was young
These were key cases I remember this. We were absolutely shocked. It massively changed as to how we kids were allowed to play out. I lived near North Sea Camp. Open prison. There would be like a siren if there was an escape. The prisoners used to bike past my house to work. They always said hello. I never felt anything like the danger of when Huntley, McCann, Sarah Payne. It just changed everything.
Yeah, so, I'm not sure about the contact lense case. I sleep in my contacts often, and how would her family know she "faithfully" took hers out? They don't live with her. I don't have a good feeling about that "evidence"
That story stunk to high heaven. Regardless of if he did it or not, that "evidence" was a JOKE at best. "Hey wait a minute, he said she was getting ready for bed, but I think her contacts are still in her eyes." GUILTY! Remarkable. So she's getting ready for bed. People do all sorts of things in the process of getting ready for bed. Did he say specifically that he saw her taking off her contacts and hop into bed, cover up and turn off the lights? If not, "getting ready for bed" could have simply meant she was in the process. You know, cleaning up a bit, putting the last dishes away, changing into her sleeping attire, taking off makeup? hell I don't know. You get the point.
I think it works, I mean her family said she never forgot to take them out plus combine that with all the other evidence against him. ( The arguments, the cheating, the knife collection.) I think it could quite help the case.
I am so sick of the guilty getting new identities to protect them. They don't deserve the protection and people dealing with them deserve to know what they did and what they are capable of doing.
I like these type of videos! Your voice is lovely to listen to, especially when I'm doing some art, or any other type of work. Awesome work as usual ! Take care man :)
Back when I used to wear contact lenses, I would go days without taking them out. If I were accused of murder because my wife slept with her contacts, and those who didn't sleep with us had convinced the cops and 11 out of 12 jurors i that it was enough to convict me, I would enter an alford plea as well. I'm not saying the guy is innocent, just that if that is the only evidence they have for convicting him of murder, it's pretty flimsy.
I agree that that wouldn’t be enough, but her family said that she never forgot to take them out. Plus with all the other sketchy stuff about the guy, it makes sense that it would be him.
I just wrote something similar! Then I scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned it. I mean when he was leaving she was getting ready for bed. She could of been brushing her or teeth? Then went to take out her lenses when the baby started to cry. So she goes to see what’s wrong & on her way back into her room. The killer (her husband) gets her. Maybe they just left out to much for us on TH-cam on this particular case?
For the second story, I'm just saying that just because her contract lenses were still in, doesn't mean that she wasn't getting ready for bed. Usually, everyone has a certain way to get ready for bed. It is still possible that she was doing other things before she took her contact lenses out. Maybe she wasn't able to take them out before the attack happened.
At 7.33 it is important to know Carr was not at home when Huntley allegedly told the girls she was in the house as a ploy to entice them into his control. Carr was out of the area visiting relatives. Her sentence was based on her behaviour in the days after she arrived home. However, the British public had no sympathy for her, likening her to Myra Hindley.
@@cheepymcpeepy she was involved in some capacity and we will never know the full extent but we do know for sure that she helped him cover up their murders and lied to give him an alibi.
She should burn for not reporting it! Idc how sacred you are it’s your responsibility as a freaking adult and now she gets to live with new identity instead of shame disgrace judges who are molesters themselves
Thank you fir covering the one case I suggested…Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. I watched this case from the moment it was made public until the end. Maxine Carr actually moved to Yorkshire after she was released. She changed her name but she couldn’t hide her physical identity and I was sickened when I saw her in a little town outside of Bridlington.
Thankgod I hate peoole in power so corrupt. I don’t care how scared you are it’s your responsibility to protect little girls or atleast report it!! Now instead of living in shame you have new identity freaking pathetic. Most higher ups are molesters too that’s why I’m sick of this shit
Not at all to detract from the horrible crimes that were commited; but a forensic botanist is not only a unique job, but a super cool one. Determining when a plant was last stepped on is so impressive.
I think his girlfriend bears a lot of responsibility for this crime. I don't care if she says she was "forced and scared," she let those girls down. She is a monster as well, and I'm sick of hearing women blame domestic violence for why they help their partners MURDER an innocent child. I am a survivor of domestic violence and there is NOTHING he could have done that would make me help him kill a child. I would rather die than become the very monster I hate.
that’s the flaw in your story deez nuts, you’re thinking all the other abused woman have same rational thinking like you. it’s good you think you’ll never lie for a killer’s alibi, but it’s childish to think all people have the same mindset as you. not all people endures pain like you deez nuts
It's called "Learned Helplessness". Basically, they're so afraid of their abuser that they'll do anything s/he says just to avoid incurring their wrath. (Not saying that all survivors of domestic violence would do that, but it's a common trend.)
That contact lens theory was the weakest evidence I’ve ever heard. I sometimes fall with mine on if I’m watching TV because I’m near sighted. Any decent DA would not take that BS to trial.
Forensic botanists are absolute chads that take what hunters do to new heights. Imagine loving plants and using that to bring justice, the ultimate plant daddy.
I still don’t understand how the contact case being out meant he was guilty. To me the contact case being out and OPEN meant she was getting ready for bed and was killed before she had a chance to take them out. He did say she was getting ready for bed when he left. None of that means he killed her. He didn’t say she was in bed already.
I love your content so much, thank you for putting so much effort into your channels, I get excited every time I see a new video! You deserve a special tv show on Discovery ID channel! Oh and thank you for clarifying what happened to the cat ❤️🐈 I'm so glad he found new owners!
So weird to see the Soham Murders on your channel as I live in Cambridgeshire. This case was and still is truly shocking. Huntley is pure evil and I will always be convinced Maxine Carr had a bigger part to play. RIP Holly and Jessica 💔
😱 sadly I remember the first case very well, being from the UK, it's a shame there's no death penalty here, I do know the Ian got his come upance in jail. May all the victims rest in peace, 🙏 another great video thanks raven 🖤
When I listen to UK based true crime, it does shock me that the Courts seem to bend over backwards to give every single monster a chance at Parole, no matter what they have done. And the Courts make a big deal over giving some monster a whole life order, and are so unwilling to do so unless there is sufficient public outrage. Our Courts in the USA seem tougher to the rest of the world, but that is down to sentencing inconsistencies. Our Courts throw away the key sometimes for some people, but they mostly sneak the worst of the worst monsters back into society while letting the public believe they are either in for life or serving a long sentence.
Death penalty is never a good idea. Anyway, he lives in hell now the amount of times I've seen articles about him being beaten and stabbed he's living a fate worse than death
@@meganlangreck2488 Federal courts Life is natural death, and most state courts have Life defined as anywhere from 16-25 years, Federal court doesnt even have Parole of any kind at all.
Regardimg the first story. Ian Huntley, he was my sisters (17 att) nieghbor when he lived in Grimsby (Veal Street). They were nieghbors for about two months. She said he was a basically a creep and tried chatting her up but she had an intimidating boyfriend at the time. After the murders, we were pestered by reporters for months.
I am from the UK Ian Huntley did work at the school he was the Janitor/caretaker him and his girlfriend Maxine Carr lived in the caretakers house on the school grounds. They actually found evidence in a school outbuilding. It was a bucket with the burnt remains (soccer/football tops) inside that the girls were wearing in the photo. That photo was taken the same day the girls went missing .He knew the 2 girls from working at the school, that is how he lured the girls into his house.his girlfriend Maxine was a teaching assistant at the same school and taught the girls. There has been an attempt on Huntleys life in prison.
I hate how criminals get a new identity after getting out of prison over there. I feel like you should live with that name and the shame that comes with it!
Because it would help the society oh so much to have these people driven from anywhere, not being able to get a job and basically forced deeper into antisocial lifestyles?
@@AntediluvianRomance it would help society to know who these monsters are so they can avoid them. So yes it would help society. The only ones it wouldn't help are the murderers and r@pists that don't deserve anything more than pine box as far as I'm concerned. Sorry I'm not a criminal sympathizer. I had a cousin murdered by her boyfriend while he was high on drugs who then plead temporary insanity and got 16 years in prison. He should have got the electric chair. Atleast he won't get a new identity and people will know who he is when he gets out soon
@@KyleCotton1 Yup, the society will have someone to abuse while active criminals, yet unknown, go unnoticed as always. The society will get more people guaranteed to participate in robbery, prostitution, drug dealing etc. It will get even less people talking to police because they would try to avoid the stigma of associating with a proven criminal. The woman did not participate in the murder itself. Had your cousin's boyfriend killed someone else and threatened your cousin to help him get rid of the evidence, would you want her to be shamed for the rest of her life too? I bet someone blamed her even as a victim for having stayed with a violent drug addict, but I'm sure you understand that life is not that simple, don't you?
@@AntediluvianRomance I’m on both sides, I think nonviolent criminals (like non violent drug offenses and such) should absolutely have the right to change their name and identity to help them reintegrate into society, but violent criminals like muderers and child predators absolutely shouldn’t be allowed to do that.
These are one of my favorite types of videos from this channel!! Always awesome and keeps me hooked. I love all the videos on this channel , keep up the amazing content!
Love your video, as always! It is well searched. Your voice is amazing and your accent is cristal clear, I'm not native, and sometimes I can't listen to a video without subtles because of the accent, but yours is perfect!

Goodness gracious!! Goes to show, truth can be stranger than fiction. Appreciate the hardwork, dedication, that goes into these videos. Thanks team. 👍🙏👌💚☺️
Good video guys. Was wondering if you'd ever mention the Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman case. My mum actually did psychiatric nursing agency work at the prison she was held in giving her medication. She's now out of jail with a brand new identity courtesy of the tax payer. Ian Huntley is now rotting in a cell playing his X-Box everyday as any prison they put him in, usually results with him having his head kicked in.
Genuinely- EWU always remembering to inform us that the pets were safe afterwards, immensely important. It's somehow one thing to listen to the story of a human dying, and another to hear about a pet being hurt.
Wow, opened this video up and boom a case I remember when I was 14. It took the nation by storm. It was all that was over the news, in the papers, the talk of school. This one hits home.
Speaking of Portsmouth, could you please do the murder case of Keith Bevis? He was killed in May 2013 by a guy who was jealous over Keith's relationship with his gf, he wanted her for himself. Keith was a great guy and didnt deserve what happened to him. He was stabbed 19 times and it was the last one that killed him. I miss you man, still think of you from time to time ❤
Having lived in Southsea for years in the past, it was really interesting to hear a case from there! Especially one involving cat DNA, lol. Good ole Tinker.
2. I feel like there is so much more to this story that no one knows. I don't think he's guilty, or at least I'm not convinced about it. 3. This is interesting. He got charged because of his cat, it is truly spectacular.
The first story about Huntley led to stricter, more in-depth checks on all people working/volunteering with children in the UK. This included any ancillary staff etc. The man was pure evil!
The forensic botanist is just mind blowing. As for all the information about the school care taker and his previous history with young girls is just horrible, and still got a job in a school. SMH!

I find that extremely interesting for a crime channel, I was doing a bachelors for Social Sciences (psychology, sociology, criminology) but my health became too much of a burden for me to finish my studies, I’m mostly bedridden with permanent nerve damage and PTSD. I have a HND (equivalent to 2nd year of a degree) in social sciences so obv I don’t have a degree or a Masters, but I still massively enjoy these subjects, your analysis, and exploring the thought processes of criminals involved. Keep up the fantastic work, very much enjoy the analysis whilst storytelling!
Fascinating video! I love that even the smallest piece of evidence can convict the most precise and calculated of killers!
The Son of Sam was caught because of a parking ticket.
We also convict people of crimes off circumstantial evidence way too much! Jurors, for some reason, always forget that it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt , I think there should have to be actual, provable evidence!
@@amber_Forever16 No kidding. The thought of being judged by a "jury of your peers" is one of the most unsettling things I can think of. I mean really ponder on it. The average person isn't real bright (being real nice here) and they're naïve at best and gullible as hell at worst. When it comes to getting convictions without smoking gun evidence, it's really just a matter of which lawyer can get the jury to like them and their story the best. A popularity contest of sorts. Nothing more. As easily as people are swayed into believing things, not to mention how the average person goes into trials with preconceived notions and pre-determined beliefs resulting from their upbringing and social circles, it scares the hell out of me to think of my fate being in the hands of such people.
Would you have convicted on the contact lens theory?
The fact you give pet updates in your videos is proof you're the best!
This is the first time that i heard of a Forensic Botanist. I applaud them for going to a profession that's so rare. I'm amazed by that forensic botanist, and i know she won't see this but i thank her for doing an amazing job uncovering clues. Also, i'm glad to have found a new thing to look into. Forensic botanist seems interesting.
I'm a huge true crime fan (I rarely come across cases I haven't at least heard of it if not read/watched something about), but I'd never heard of a 'forensic botanist' either! I knew one could use _insect_ life cycles to help 'read' a scene, but I'm amazed how much info plants can provide when examined by such a trained eye. Really amazing.
Always takes me back when you cover cases so close to home. Huntley was from my home town. Between this and the Mccann disappearance I remember my Mum pretty much refusing to let me out of her sights when I was young
These were key cases I remember this.
We were absolutely shocked. It massively changed as to how we kids were allowed to play out. I lived near North Sea Camp. Open prison. There would be like a siren if there was an escape. The prisoners used to bike past my house to work. They always said hello.
I never felt anything like the danger of when Huntley, McCann, Sarah Payne. It just changed everything.
The cat-alogue… that has cracked me up
Me too 😻
Yeah, so, I'm not sure about the contact lense case. I sleep in my contacts often, and how would her family know she "faithfully" took hers out? They don't live with her. I don't have a good feeling about that "evidence"
That story stunk to high heaven. Regardless of if he did it or not, that "evidence" was a JOKE at best. "Hey wait a minute, he said she was getting ready for bed, but I think her contacts are still in her eyes." GUILTY! Remarkable. So she's getting ready for bed. People do all sorts of things in the process of getting ready for bed. Did he say specifically that he saw her taking off her contacts and hop into bed, cover up and turn off the lights? If not, "getting ready for bed" could have simply meant she was in the process. You know, cleaning up a bit, putting the last dishes away, changing into her sleeping attire, taking off makeup? hell I don't know. You get the point.
@@commonsense5188 or all of the above lol
Yeah that one kind of seemed like they really just wanted to close the case and be done with it.
Fr, I think the knife "turning up" was a bigger point than the contacts 🤔 but we COULD chalk that up to police mishandling evidence.
I think it works, I mean her family said she never forgot to take them out plus combine that with all the other evidence against him. ( The arguments, the cheating, the knife collection.) I think it could quite help the case.
I am so sick of the guilty getting new identities to protect them. They don't deserve the protection and people dealing with them deserve to know what they did and what they are capable of doing.
As a lover of true crime and sahm pushing through my duties, EWU never fails me!! Thanks for the amazing content!!
I love how this channel updates to us what happens to the animals related to the cases, it might be a small thing but makes me so fkin happy
💯❤️😺🐾
Liking video before I even watch. Cuz that’s how the Crew rolls! 😀
Yuppers!
Exactly
W
Do you still have your dogs around?.
Yes! I do the same thing every time! We ride together we die together!
I like these type of videos! Your voice is lovely to listen to, especially when I'm doing some art, or any other type of work. Awesome work as usual ! Take care man :)
Thanks for all your hard work EWU, it truly makes a difference in my days!
I just got done watching episode one on the unsolved channel. Can’t wait for this one!!
Back when I used to wear contact lenses, I would go days without taking them out. If I were accused of murder because my wife slept with her contacts, and those who didn't sleep with us had convinced the cops and 11 out of 12 jurors i that it was enough to convict me, I would enter an alford plea as well. I'm not saying the guy is innocent, just that if that is the only evidence they have for convicting him of murder, it's pretty flimsy.
I agree that that wouldn’t be enough, but her family said that she never forgot to take them out. Plus with all the other sketchy stuff about the guy, it makes sense that it would be him.
@@silentvoid2875 Stop saying that! Thats the stupidest piece of “evidence“ there could be!
@@HereIsWisdom1318 But it makes sense ? Plus the guy is guilty isn’t he ?
I just wrote something similar! Then I scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned it. I mean when he was leaving she was getting ready for bed. She could of been brushing her or teeth? Then went to take out her lenses when the baby started to cry. So she goes to see what’s wrong & on her way back into her room. The killer (her husband) gets her. Maybe they just left out to much for us on TH-cam on this particular case?
@@murk1352 Again, please look at my comment below the original one.
Also the forensic botanist. What a kickass lady she is. I completely admire any and all of the people involved in solving these crimes.
For the second story, I'm just saying that just because her contract lenses were still in, doesn't mean that she wasn't getting ready for bed. Usually, everyone has a certain way to get ready for bed. It is still possible that she was doing other things before she took her contact lenses out. Maybe she wasn't able to take them out before the attack happened.
At 7.33 it is important to know Carr was not at home when Huntley allegedly told the girls she was in the house as a ploy to entice them into his control. Carr was out of the area visiting relatives. Her sentence was based on her behaviour in the days after she arrived home. However, the British public had no sympathy for her, likening her to Myra Hindley.
She was a willing accomplice, she deserves the hate for her actions.
@@smith549371 I don't see what she did to deserve that sentence? It sounds like she was utterly uninvolved
@@cheepymcpeepy she was involved in some capacity and we will never know the full extent but we do know for sure that she helped him cover up their murders and lied to give him an alibi.
@@smith549371 Ah, thank you! I must have zoned out when that was covered. Thank you!
She should burn for not reporting it! Idc how sacred you are it’s your responsibility as a freaking adult and now she gets to live with new identity instead of shame disgrace judges who are molesters themselves
I’ve seen a bit of these cases. Always good to be covered. I’ll always watch anything covered by Ewu.
Same. Instant click for me every single time.
Thank you fir covering the one case I suggested…Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. I watched this case from the moment it was made public until the end. Maxine Carr actually moved to Yorkshire after she was released. She changed her name but she couldn’t hide her physical identity and I was sickened when I saw her in a little town outside of Bridlington.
Thankgod I hate peoole in power so corrupt. I don’t care how scared you are it’s your responsibility to protect little girls or atleast report it!! Now instead of living in shame you have new identity freaking pathetic. Most higher ups are molesters too that’s why I’m sick of this shit
What town outside Bridlington? Im originally from Filey so intrigued where she was spotted!
@@graceburton3369 just outside of seamer on the way to Scarborough
There’s worse people than her to be this sickened. What’s important is she rectified it- nothing she could’ve done can bring those kids back
Thanks for letting us know about Tinker 👍
6 years in jail isn't full justice, Bass should've been awarded a minimum of 10 years for the crime, without parole. Prostitutes too are human beings.
Not at all to detract from the horrible crimes that were commited; but a forensic botanist is not only a unique job, but a super cool one. Determining when a plant was last stepped on is so impressive.
I think his girlfriend bears a lot of responsibility for this crime. I don't care if she says she was "forced and scared," she let those girls down. She is a monster as well, and I'm sick of hearing women blame domestic violence for why they help their partners MURDER an innocent child. I am a survivor of domestic violence and there is NOTHING he could have done that would make me help him kill a child. I would rather die than become the very monster I hate.
that’s the flaw in your story deez nuts, you’re thinking all the other abused woman have same rational thinking like you. it’s good you think you’ll never lie for a killer’s alibi, but it’s childish to think all people have the same mindset as you. not all people endures pain like you deez nuts
It's called "Learned Helplessness". Basically, they're so afraid of their abuser that they'll do anything s/he says just to avoid incurring their wrath. (Not saying that all survivors of domestic violence would do that, but it's a common trend.)
No, it’s called women dodging accountability
@@countof3everybodyOD Not going to listen to someone with such a vulgar name. Way to be awful.
That contact lens theory was the weakest evidence I’ve ever heard. I sometimes fall with mine on if I’m watching TV because I’m near sighted. Any decent DA would not take that BS to trial.
I love that you included an update on the cat ❤️ thanks, EWU!
Forensic botanists are absolute chads that take what hunters do to new heights. Imagine loving plants and using that to bring justice, the ultimate plant daddy.
I still don’t understand how the contact case being out meant he was guilty. To me the contact case being out and OPEN meant she was getting ready for bed and was killed before she had a chance to take them out. He did say she was getting ready for bed when he left. None of that means he killed her. He didn’t say she was in bed already.
I love your content so much, thank you for putting so much effort into your channels, I get excited every time I see a new video! You deserve a special tv show on Discovery ID channel!
Oh and thank you for clarifying what happened to the cat ❤️🐈 I'm so glad he found new owners!
Your voice and the way you present all the cases is brilliant I’m subbed keep up the good content 😊
That fact that you know us well enough to give us an update on the cat, Tinker. This channel is class.
Love the multiple channels it works well rather than having everything together
The contact lens theory definitely shouldn’t be enough to convict someone of murder!
So weird to see the Soham Murders on your channel as I live in Cambridgeshire. This case was and still is truly shocking. Huntley is pure evil and I will always be convinced Maxine Carr had a bigger part to play. RIP Holly and Jessica 💔
More importantly, WHO THE HELL FUNDS A CAT DNA DATABASE!?!!? 😂😂😂
😂👍👉😺🐾
Pink Panther?
😱 sadly I remember the first case very well, being from the UK, it's a shame there's no death penalty here, I do know the Ian got his come upance in jail. May all the victims rest in peace, 🙏 another great video thanks raven 🖤
the state should not have authority over the deaths of its citizens. no exceptions
When I listen to UK based true crime, it does shock me that the Courts seem to bend over backwards to give every single monster a chance at Parole, no matter what they have done. And the Courts make a big deal over giving some monster a whole life order, and are so unwilling to do so unless there is sufficient public outrage. Our Courts in the USA seem tougher to the rest of the world, but that is down to sentencing inconsistencies. Our Courts throw away the key sometimes for some people, but they mostly sneak the worst of the worst monsters back into society while letting the public believe they are either in for life or serving a long sentence.
Death penalty is never a good idea. Anyway, he lives in hell now the amount of times I've seen articles about him being beaten and stabbed he's living a fate worse than death
That seems to be universal in all prisons, pedophiles are shunned/tortured/killed. It's heartwarming 😉👍
@@meganlangreck2488 Federal courts Life is natural death, and most state courts have Life defined as anywhere from 16-25 years, Federal court doesnt even have Parole of any kind at all.
Keep them coming
Thanks guys.
I loved the fact that they told us what happened to Tinker, glad he found a new home
Regardimg the first story. Ian Huntley, he was my sisters (17 att) nieghbor when he lived in Grimsby (Veal Street). They were nieghbors for about two months. She said he was a basically a creep and tried chatting her up but she had an intimidating boyfriend at the time. After the murders, we were pestered by reporters for months.
I thought I'd somehow gotten unsubscribed from your other channel, imagine my glee to discover that it's a new channel instead! Great work as always
I am from the UK Ian Huntley did work at the school he was the Janitor/caretaker him and his girlfriend Maxine Carr lived in the caretakers house on the school grounds. They actually found evidence in a school outbuilding. It was a bucket with the burnt remains (soccer/football tops) inside that the girls were wearing in the photo. That photo was taken the same day the girls went missing .He knew the 2 girls from working at the school, that is how he lured the girls into his house.his girlfriend Maxine was a teaching assistant at the same school and taught the girls. There has been an attempt on Huntleys life in prison.
Thanks for the update on Tinker, he's probably convicting more felons as we speak.
Thank you for all your hard work and research. Excellent production. I'm hooked 😍
I actually feel very sorry for Hilder cause he didn't even know what exactly he did but he knew something wasn't right
Oh dang. early. I've been listening to alot of your videos while I work over the last few weeks. Keep up the good work
The “Cat-alog!” 🙀🤣
I just love it when you upload!!!
Thankyou so much EWU crew ❤️😩
Well done EWU,thanks for working so hard for the Crew!
Since I’ve discovered your channel (which was yesterday) I’ve been obsessed !!! Keep up the great work !!!
all those murders and I was concerned about Tinker, thanks for clearing that up.
I hate how criminals get a new identity after getting out of prison over there. I feel like you should live with that name and the shame that comes with it!
Because it would help the society oh so much to have these people driven from anywhere, not being able to get a job and basically forced deeper into antisocial lifestyles?
@@AntediluvianRomance it would help society to know who these monsters are so they can avoid them. So yes it would help society. The only ones it wouldn't help are the murderers and r@pists that don't deserve anything more than pine box as far as I'm concerned. Sorry I'm not a criminal sympathizer. I had a cousin murdered by her boyfriend while he was high on drugs who then plead temporary insanity and got 16 years in prison. He should have got the electric chair. Atleast he won't get a new identity and people will know who he is when he gets out soon
@@KyleCotton1 Yup, the society will have someone to abuse while active criminals, yet unknown, go unnoticed as always. The society will get more people guaranteed to participate in robbery, prostitution, drug dealing etc. It will get even less people talking to police because they would try to avoid the stigma of associating with a proven criminal.
The woman did not participate in the murder itself. Had your cousin's boyfriend killed someone else and threatened your cousin to help him get rid of the evidence, would you want her to be shamed for the rest of her life too? I bet someone blamed her even as a victim for having stayed with a violent drug addict, but I'm sure you understand that life is not that simple, don't you?
@@AntediluvianRomance I’m on both sides, I think nonviolent criminals (like non violent drug offenses and such) should absolutely have the right to change their name and identity to help them reintegrate into society, but violent criminals like muderers and child predators absolutely shouldn’t be allowed to do that.
I have been waiting for your story this week, thank you very much! Great job 👍💖
Why do they need to compare Tinker's DNA to a database? Just compare the hair to Tinker's lol
Thanks!
6 years in prison for taking a life ?😢 that’s nowhere near enough
These are one of my favorite types of videos from this channel!! Always awesome and keeps me hooked. I love all the videos on this channel , keep up the amazing content!
That Botanist is a marvel!! Kudos to her!!!...
But, he was a "care taker" at an elementary school?!?!?🤬🤬 Bloody hell, WTF?!?!! Coming from a mother of 5 children & 7 grandchildren...hell NO!!!!!!
I didn't know forensic botany existed, but figuring things out due to the nettles is amazing!
Love your video, as always! It is well searched. Your voice is amazing and your accent is cristal clear, I'm not native, and sometimes I can't listen to a video without subtles because of the accent, but yours is perfect!
The second case reminded me of a french case, Alexia Daval. That would be great if you talked about it in a video
Goodness gracious!! Goes to show, truth can be stranger than fiction. Appreciate the hardwork, dedication, that goes into these videos. Thanks team. 👍🙏👌💚☺️
I’m glad Tinker ended up in a loving home!
17:00 when he said Catalogue, I giggled a bit. Cat-alogue.
Me too 😻
This became my favorite crime story👌,THANK YOU EWU❤
Good video guys. Was wondering if you'd ever mention the Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman case. My mum actually did psychiatric nursing agency work at the prison she was held in giving her medication. She's now out of jail with a brand new identity courtesy of the tax payer. Ian Huntley is now rotting in a cell playing his X-Box everyday as any prison they put him in, usually results with him having his head kicked in.
I just saw something on this case yesterday!! That's so strange, glad to hear that POS is getting his head used as a ⚽ while incarcerated..
Xbox in prison is ridiculous! They don't deserve that luxury
Incredible channel
Genuinely- EWU always remembering to inform us that the pets were safe afterwards, immensely important. It's somehow one thing to listen to the story of a human dying, and another to hear about a pet being hurt.
Wow, opened this video up and boom a case I remember when I was 14. It took the nation by storm. It was all that was over the news, in the papers, the talk of school. This one hits home.
Another well produced episode, good work EWU! Also learned that there is a Cat DNA database :)
Speaking of Portsmouth, could you please do the murder case of Keith Bevis? He was killed in May 2013 by a guy who was jealous over Keith's relationship with his gf, he wanted her for himself. Keith was a great guy and didnt deserve what happened to him. He was stabbed 19 times and it was the last one that killed him. I miss you man, still think of you from time to time ❤
Honestly that forensic botanist thing seems like a very underrated profession.
I love this narrators voice. It adds ominous feeling to the story. ❤
.... Too expensive to excavate the lot.... So we called NASA" Shit had me laughing lol
Thank you so much. I was running out of true crime stories
The fact that they knew he had relationships with eleven! underage girls and he was still free… Revolting. Absolutely revolting.
And a school still employed him !
Just in time thank you EWU CREW and raven 😊🥰 so many heartbreaking cases I just can’t sometimes 😞🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.
Having lived in Southsea for years in the past, it was really interesting to hear a case from there! Especially one involving cat DNA, lol. Good ole Tinker.
2. I feel like there is so much more to this story that no one knows. I don't think he's guilty, or at least I'm not convinced about it.
3. This is interesting. He got charged because of his cat, it is truly spectacular.
The idea that there is a database of cat DNA in the UK fills me with so much joy, like holy shit what a move.
😺😸😻
I am really amazed by that forensic botanist. She really did a great job and that was a big help in solving the case.👏👏👏
The first story about Huntley led to stricter, more in-depth checks on all people working/volunteering with children in the UK. This included any ancillary staff etc. The man was pure evil!
#EWU👋🏽, hey ty 4 postn.. soooo sad😌🤦🏽♀️. Narration always 💯✌🏾
We need to make a series about Wiltshire and his work as a forensic ecologist asap. That's a cool skill
Perfect narrators. Best on TH-cam
The forensic botanist is just mind blowing. As for all the information about the school care taker and his previous history with young girls is just horrible, and still got a job in a school. SMH!
