The Case of Grace Millane
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Grace Millane was a British backpacker with big plans, namely to travel the southern hemisphere. When she arrived in New Zealand in 2018, she went on Tinder and arranged a date. The man she met was Jesse Kempson, and he would turn out to be the definition of monster.

this must have been the easiest prosecution ever. The amount of shit he got caught doing in 4k
Trueee 😂
@@inspirecoffeecompany All food + produce here is expensive. It's tragic given the horrendous effect the dairy industry has had in polluting 60% of our waterways.
Im impressed with the quality of cctvs
@@inspirecoffeecompany and the USA is potatoes
HOW DID THEY CATCH YOU IN 4K!?
Holy shit this is the best CCTV camera quality I've ever seen. New Zealand really is on another level.
*Is really on another level
Edit : I love when people try to tag me to say sum and I never read any of them😂
Yes you're absolutely right, ...look how they handled the covid 19 pandemic compared to other developed countries.
I know NZ has many great perks but please read up on our housing crisis where prices increased by 100000$ in just a month, child suicide, teen pregnancy, 3rd highest homelessness in the OECD country, the literacy and numeracy of the average adult being at the age of a 13 year old, obesity, racism etc etc
@@Dantectez "really is on another level" in that context is still grammatically correct
@blu aww cmon its not that boring if you look around, might b a drive to certain things,but yea small town nz?, yeaAlil boring
Damn, literally every movement/transaction he made was recorded. It's almost like he asked a film crew along to catch him in the act.
With every new video, I was thinking, may as well put a sign on your head “I’m the killer” geesh! Suitcases, cleaners, rug cleaner, shovel.
George Orwell 1984 come to life!
My thought exactly! If only it could be like this with every case.
big brother always watching.. n the slaves ask for more..
@@danielmedina333 right, lol. A surveillance state isn't a good thing. How stupid are some people?
So gross, he's constantly checking himself out in every available mirror!
The way their police department and government handled her case was a class act!! Apologizing to the family was very touching 🥺🙏🏽
I agree! This was incredibly well-handled. So much footage and evidence, swift reactions. Text-book investigation, and by acting so quickly they've potentially prevented further murders.
The lady apologising at the press conference wasn't from the police department. She is the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Totally agree, I always feel bad when foreigner's come to the USA and end up dead. Like you can imagine what the family is thinking about said country and it's people. Horrible muder this one.
Absolutely!
It was a very heartfelt and classy apology/ press release
"Your daughter should've been safe here" that really broke my heart when she said that.
Same!
She is Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of NZ
She choked up a little when she said it. That's a leader who truly cares about their country.
I've decided Jacinda Ahern is one of the best humans to grace this planet. She is an amazing person that proves empathy in leadership is a strength not a weakness. She also had a baby, ended gun violence and defeated a pandemic during her tenure as PM.
Women should be safe from rape and murder in every city of the world.
Seeing him in the elevator with the suitcases is surreal. Even before Mike says what happened you just know what’s in there 😔
I thought the same! If you're watching one of Mikes videos and there is a suitcase, you just know they aren't planning a lovely vacations! 😉 I also said to my daughter whom works in a well known hardware store, that imagine serving a customer who was buying a spade, and turns out they used it to Bury someone. It's crazy to think isn't it
I can’t even imagine the pain of her family watching this CCTV video knowing that their loved one is in that suitcase, so heartbreaking
It turns my stomach knowing she’s folded up in there.
@@yasamanalizadeh866 More like in both of the suitcases since both are loaded.It's horrible
Right?! So so sad! What an evil man
Mike, you do an amazing job researching and collating these horror stories. As an Australian, I remember the Grace story well. Her actions were put on trial by our media also. so sad. I hadn't realised I hadn't seen her killers face or heard about his past convictions until now. Thank you for sharing this story in such detail.
Imagine finding out your Tinder date had just murdered his last hookup, that would be traumatizing for life.
I hooked up with a man who murdered his stepfather a couple months later, so.. I can empathize with the horror.
Not as traumatizing for his last date!
imagine going on Tinder in 2021 lol

I feel sad that her dad never got to see justice be served. Rest in peace. :(
no, i think he said that her dad died before this trial for the additional charges. maybe he saw the trial for her murder?
@@ugaladh That’s what I understood, too.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ multiple forms of proof
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ He is taking notes so he doesnt have to interrupt the suspect about certain points he is taking notes on...
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ the notes are for his own use during the interrogation. It’s really pretty simple. Just like attorneys take notes during trial even though there is a stenographer taking all the testimony.
If Grace was strangled…..WHY WAS THERE BLOOD EVERYWHERE?!!
That cop ABSOLUTELY knew what Catfishing was, hahaha. He just wanted the monster in front of him to have an opportunity to bury himself. It is unbelievably freaking disturbing how he calmly went on ANOTHER date, bought cleaning items, etc….so calmly and effortlessly. Not a care in the world. Grace was so very beautiful, so sweet and trusting. She deserved so, so much more. 💔 😢
I'm wondering about all of the blood, too. Was it tested? Was poor Grace his first?
@@deltacountycitizenreport2556 wow! That's a good question. That has to be someone's blood. It's crazy that she was strangled and absolutely no one questioned him about the blood, which seemed to be a lot. Maybe that's why he appeared to be so calm....wasn't his first time??
@@terrinorrell8290 the reason for all the blood is because strangling someone to death isn't easy, sadly tv and film makes it look quick and relatively non violent... as someone who was nearly choked to death, let me clear it up for you.
Firstly, you fight. Hard and instinctively. You'll kick out at anything and everything to try and get away, to get a grip on something to get some leverage, and this often ends with a bunch of bruises, cuts and scrapes. Also common are head wounds and broken bones like noses and throat bones; head injuries bleed a LOT, and it was a narrow space and she would have been thrashing about. So she probably had a few cuts on her scalp from coming off the bed, it looks like there was some blood on the shelving unit so she probably hit her head on that. She would have also been bleeding profusely from her nose, which bleeds a fuckton, especially when you're fighting for your life and the adrenaline is pumping. Plus, she was almost certainly also bleeding from her throat and mouth, which will have most likely caused her to vomit up the blood she swallowed, causing more blood spread.
Sorry if this is graphic.. but that's kind of the point. For some reason the media, tv and film, and even "true crime" shows, especially ones who do reenactments, have decided to portray being choked to death (or suffocated) as this strangely.. quiet and, dare I say it, quick and peaceful death, when it really REALLY fucking isn't.
Hope this answered your questions.
@@piratemousie I'm so sorry to hear that you were put in that situation. I just can't imagine the fear you surely felt. Thank God that you were somehow able to escape your situation. I pray that you are doing well and able to live a happy life 🙏 I do have to admit that you opened my eyes as to how the blood may have gotten in his room. I never would have thought of all of the scenarios that you brought up. My heart breaks for her!! She looked so at ease and happy entering his apartment. What a horrible way to die...
It's because sometime when strangling someone u can pop the coroted (I don't know if I'm spelling it right) but the vain in the persons neck which will cause them to bleed out through the mouth
Not only does he kill her, he makes out like it wasn't his fault and then has a go at the judge as if he doesn't have the right to punish him for his crimes. Man I wouldn't lose any sleep pushing the button for the electric chair on this guy.
You don't actually see THAT many people having a go at the judge like that after being charged. Hopefully that and all his lies on appear will factor in when he tries to get paroled at age 45. Because it can be deemed "lack of remorse."
I'd actually volunteer for it!
He says these lies because he knows she’s dead and can’t speak for herself . He’s a pirate of shit and killed an innocent girl. Don’t understand what he gained from that. If he’s gonna kill and act tough he should act tough in court and police stations as well.
does that also make you a killer?
@@anamaria91106 na it would make them a fighter of justice lol dude deserved to be buried under the damn prison
Mike, I am an Irishman, living in New Zealand since 2014. The Case of Grace Millane was definitely something that captivated the country for a long time. The killer was granted name suppression but it didn't last very long. We are grateful he is behind bars for a long long time. Kudos on the Māori pronunciation, you are trying your best, just like myself hahahaha. It was crazy go watch a video of yours so close to home, instead of in America. Cheers!
Also living in nz and like how he shows Queenstown (my home town) when talking about the north island. I will forgive him though.
since when was 17 years a long long time, the piece of shit should have got a minimum of 30
Captivated the country? For sure? Youre not Betlehem
He still has name suppression. People just breached it on social media.
The law doesn't apply in UK though, so Mike's allowed to name him.
It don't matter where you go in this world there's always someone who's capable of taking your life.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ lol ya a very high percentage of them turn out to be surprised that they weren't as smart as they thought.
Or saving it.
Obviously...
That's exactly what I was thinking - looking at him walking around so carelessly thinking he got away with murder....all the while he just stole someone's life. 😔 And she told her friend she really liked him... I don't know 9f it's because I know what he did but I didn't hear anything special when I heard him talk - he seemed kinda bland to me. A bit off as well.
Props to New Zealand! That CC footage is awesome - it’s like movie quality! Meanwhile, the CC footage here looks like one of Edison’s first films.
As a solo Brit who lived in Northland during this time, it was truly a shocking occurrence. Auckland and NZ as a whole felt so safe and this murder rocked this innocent country. Jacinda Ardern's speech was both moving and spoken from the heart. RIP Grace, let's hope that Jessie rots! And lastly, thanks Mike for highlighting Grace's case and for making Tuesdays in Lockdown bring a smile to my face when those two words are uttered... "hey you"
NZ has such a progressive leader. One of the best on the planet.
It is truly naive to think you can meet a guy on tinder and go back to his room. There are so many dangerous people out there. It was a crazy thing for her to do. Nevertheless, it was just a terrible thing that he was the one she swiped on, poor Grace, what a monster. Do not go back to hotel rooms or anywhere without checking out this guy. If she had done some digging bet she would have found something on him. It does not matter the country, it matters to not do this.
The same lady who covered up sexual misconduct by her staffers?
Grace lived in Wickford, Essex, not Brentwood. It’s my family home village. We were all so shocked and there was a beautiful memorial of flowers laid by all the locals in the centre of our town to remember her. This was/is just so so tragic. RIP Darling girl Grace.
Sorry for your loss. She seemed like a beautiful person. Too trusting perhaps, but her murder is not her fault.
So sorry for your loss
I’m in Basildon a stones throw away, I vaguely remember hearing about this. That poor girl smart and beautiful with so much to live for all ruined for this animal
Damn that is the best CCTV quality I've ever seen. Yet for the most part, America still films with a potato..
Dude, right? There's so many cases where kidnappings, murders, and robberies are caught on camera, but you can't even make out a person because the camera quality is that of an undercooked potato
Dude, potato cams are better than nothing. And way better than yam cams, catchy name but only work in the tropics
Be fair, we started boiling the potatoes in 2014.
America's behind the rest of the Western world in most every way imaginable.
You're comparing a country with a population of 330 million to one with 5 million??
This POS is literally the guy your Mom warns you about. My heart goes out to her family ❤️
If a guy can't hold down a job, that should be a red flag to anybody, man or woman.
@@jimmym3352 it would be if they weren’t meeting random people and going to have sex with them without knowing anything about them. Tinder and the like are a menace.
@@jimmym3352 Would've said this myself before the insanity of the pandemic hit last year. Huge sections of the employment market suddenly wiped out leaving people with years of employment suddenly left turning to the dole for the first time in their lives. My neighbour is 42 and had been working the same company since he was 21... until the pandemic left him jobless.
@@debshaw680 I don't think that the bar scene is much better.
@@_TOD33 I'm sorry, man, but that's bullshit.
Nobody rapes anyone by accident, in spite of what Kobe Bryant might have said (if you haven't heard his statement at the end of his rape trial, it's disgusting.)
I'm sorry your mother saw so little humanity in you at the age of four to tell you essentially not to debase, degrade and knowingly and permanently alter another person's life for the worse.
I’m so glad you didn’t include all the sexual nonsense the media did because it’s so disrespectful. Also the fact her father flew out there as soon as he found out about his daughter being missing shows he was determined to find/ protect her. For him to die not long after is horrendous. I hope the two of them are together now x
Also they're dead so obviously they're not together lol
@@Buttington_Headerson your comment is unnecessary af . Regardless of what you believe these are people who died be respectful.
ohhhhh, what sexual nonsense???
@@crieverytim @ice la honk speculation around whether she was into bondage, choking and rough stuff (which would give his story any credibility at all) I'm guessing.
It may have been necessary for the trial, but it's horrible for a muder victim's most intimate private life be scruitinised and exposed on TV for sheer entertainment.
As soon as he played the elevator clip I was like "oh so she's in the bags"
Same
Yep. We are a broken and jaded people.
creepy 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@ I bet you’re fun at party’s.
I know a lot of people that knew her and so many were devastated especially at the fact that he tried to blame it on her wanting to do “bondage”. Poor girl, rest in peace Grace.
Note to self: never get drunk while with a complete stranger.
Remembers past TC videos: Nor with people you know. Or go out alone. Or with friends. Or at all. Or stay at home...

@@dortesandal4303 being the life of the party is out of the question too
Honestly, after watching these videos, I get nervous just taking my dog out to pee and I am a 49 year old 6'4" 350 pound man. At least they couldn't carry me away I suppose.
This case still gets us, she was meant to be safe here, I can’t even tell you how many girls I know, myself included have been out into Auckland town without thinking and something could’ve happened, but didn’t because we’re a ‘safe’ country, it’s still heartbreaking!
I got attacked in Parnell around 8PM a few years ago, after that I realised how unsafe our country is..
yes, it is so misleading. When I was in Australia, it was known as a 'safe country' when I was out backpacking but around the time I was there, Ivan Milat was there stalking backpackers in the region I was that. I was lucky in that I mostly look tour buses out with a group of people, rather than venturing outside in the bush on my own. Even in those days, I never hitch hiked. Also the drugs situation was bad too there, but the British press and the Tourist media focussed more on pretty landscapes and kangaroos. Psychopaths are everywhere and they are such manipulators. The tourist industry ignores real life.
no country is safe ....nowhere is safe ...and as long as you know that you'll be ok
@@1exeldave exactly...
1 word Tinder
What a beautiful apology she made to the victim’s family. Very classy.
yes, you could hear in her delivery that this really affected her
She was almost 😢 crying
This case is truely heartbreaking. The footage of the 2 suitcases in the elevator sends chills down my spine. Knowing an innocent woman is stuffed in there. We are so sorry Grace 💔
the clip before the story even started--you know she's in there. Like, that is also just how bad he was at covering it up that even with very little context other than 'this story is about a murdered woman' and you see someone awkwardly lugging a cart carrying suitcases into an elevator...yikes.
@@Jimmybarth wat?
No kiddin. Not that I travel much, but I’m going to start being suspicious of every single man with multiple suitcases now :0
She really behaved very recklessly
@@georgiaskrepetos6705 How so
"I have a question, am I being arrested for something I didn't do?" What a weird way to ask this question???
He didn't want to show for one second that he was worried he'd been caught so that's why he phrased it that way.
It’s always interesting to me seeing people guilty of these crimes trying to act like someone innocent but not having any idea how an innocent person would actually react to an accusation as serious as this.
What was the guys response to this? I couldn't quite make it out.
@@mariomanno1 the police officer says "you haven't been arrested"
If I was that cop id simply reply...."No"
The fact the father died before seeing justice, is truly sad.
I think he died before the further charges were brought for what he did to the other victims. He saw justice for his daughter's murder. It's still all heartbreaking of course.
Reminds me of a Forensic Files episode called 'Badge of Betrayal'. I wasn't ready for the ending
17 years isn't justice. Pathetic.
Also, let’s not forget his wife, her mother … i cannot fathom the absolute heart ache
My current girlfriend, she had a ex that was very psychotic. I am glad that I am in her life and plan to be for a long time. I will protect her the next time he tries pulling some sneaky ninja crap again.
The spokesperson, wow, she was on the brink of tears apologizing to the family. What a lovely gesture. I’ve never seen that here in the states.
That spokesperson BTW is the NZ Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. She's amazing - look her up. I'm an Aussie BTW and I'm very jealous of our cousin's PM.
or in England!
I thought that too, it was very moving / touching - makes the situation more real and not sterile
@@KC-lz9qg I was reading that she has phoned the families of every NZ Covid death to personally apologise; that's the level of accountability ALL world leaders ought to aspire to.
The 'spokesperson' is the PM............
That “JESSE!” Thing killed me. MIKE, you’re so great.
How the hell did he not know every inch of New Zealand is apparently covered in really top notch security cameras
Seeing how New Zealand handled this is impressive. The way the people of the country actually felt for the victim’s family is the way all of us should be. New Zealand from America you are awesome.
Jacinda Ardern is a great Prime Minister and that has a lot to do with it. When is the last time any of our presidents have addressed the country over a single murder of a foreign visitor? And genuinely express how upset they are that they didn't keep them safe?
And let's not forget that when the Christchurch Mosque terror attacks happened, she wore a hijab and paid for not only the 45 or so funerals, but also has given the victim's families financial support going forward.
THAT is how a leader of a country should conduct themselves.
@@-Dr.N- No she's not. She's a literal communist. They wouldn't shut up about this damn story even though they had the guy locked up not long after the murder. New Zealand is a joke and I'm ashamed to live here with a bunch of communist traitors who think our current prime minister is even remotely capable of anything other than blowing hot air up the asses of New Zealand citizens.
@@GareWorks go home? im positive your ancestors arent from NZ
This guy must think we are all more stupid then he is. "I was all over the place and didn't know what to do" all the while he's methodically doing errands to clean up his crime and bury this girl. I mean did he really not know he's on camera everywhere he goes! What a psycho monster!
Not to mention the smarmy, insincere "apology" he offered up on social media about having learned his life lessons whilst KNOWING he planned to murder that same day.
Also he went on another date during the day!
Yea he is horrible fr smh its not excuse for this but happens so much im am not at all victim shaming but me and my wife always tell the females and males in our families that are younger or older that "tinder" and hooking up on the first date is not ok and sorry especially as a women once again not blaming the victim. Its just in reality there are fucked up people out are that are evil and you never know who you can come across. As a women hold your self to a higher standard and have more love for yourself because there is danger everywhere I don't even let my wife catch the bus or barely an uber and she doesn't trust no one ever im glad that as beautiful that she is she knows her worth
He even went and bought a second identical suitcase to take back into the hotel.
thAn*
The fact that he went on another date after killing her.. WHILE HER BODY IS LAYING IN HIS APARTMENT?
Sign of a true psychopath
I am surprised the hotel cleaning made didn't run into her. Unless he put in a "don not 🚫 disturb" sign 🤔. Poor Grace 😢
@@migz121 wasnt a hotel was his apartment
@@crystalrosas2844 it was? Looked like a hotel
:(
I just found your channel not long ago so I'm trying to catch up but you're the only true crime I can listen too bc of the slight spin and humor you try to sprinkle in it makes these disgusting cases much easier to learn about thanks
My weak heart cannot handle the recording of Jesse casually pushing two suitcases with an innocent woman's dead body inside. 😢😢😢😢
"if there's a key somewhere, you should prob-ba-nly "trow" it away.." yes!!!! That guy will never be proper. Screws weren't just loose in his head, they weren't there to begin with.
Does anybody else love how much effort he puts to make these look like actual documentaries
It's so much better than the the alien abductions and boogeyman mysteries he started with.
They are actual documentaries
"That's how we improve in the exam of life."
"Oh Jesus."
I found that to be hilarious.
I was living next door to this apartment/hotel the night that this happened and went out at the same time that they arrived. It constantly haunts me knowing that I crossed paths with them and I just wish that I had known and could have done something. A truly awful case, sending love to her family.
You know anything about the other Tinder date girl ??? She seemed really suspicious, super guilty, knows way to many details
@@GardenGuy1942 you’re obsessed with her

That was a fantastic video Mike, one of your best. Thanks
Mike's not kidding, i've never seen a murder case with more CCTV footage !!!
I know right!!!
And such good quality. 👍
Like why bother with a trial at all, everything you need is right there on camera
He looks like he bought all his clothes 10 years and 50 pounds ago.
And now I can't unsee it. Damn
Looked like he was wearing stretch leggings.
Oh thank you for that. I mean I am 63 but........... those dopy pants are atrocious.
Lolol and he only had 3 outfits
@@prescott1960 I don't know about that. He could be turning the stretch jeggings inside out. So, 2 1/2 maybe?
The bandaged hand after their ‘date’ was obvious and immediately noticeable from the footage.
Footage of him walking in with her, her not walking out, his wound, the suitcase, car rental, etc should take about 5 minutes to cover in the police interview and for jury deliberation time. She arrived Alive and departed Dead so… You Sir, May Fook Right Off! (Gavel)
Side note: HE was the ‘catfish’ (predator), not revealing who he truly was until his prey was behind closed doors with no witnesses and no help. Let’s hope his prison cell offers him much of the same. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Oh my... Please don't go home with strangers... That one night stand isn't worth the risk...
First of all, kudos to the entire country of New Zealand for their handling of this tragedy. Kudos to the Auckland detectives who searched all the security cameras and the city for installing so many CCTV cameras that actually work.
And I’m devastatingly sorry for the family and loved ones of beautiful Grace Millane, a young woman who had her whole life in front of her. Whose naivety from a seasoned con artist and a habitual liar caused her to trust a person who showed the true monster he was as soon as the door closed in that apartment. May she RIP and May he rot in the depths of hell.
I have a baby girl myself and seeing her father during the investigation coverage shook me deeply. I can't imagine how horrifying this was for her family. I'm not a religious person, but I hope that him knowing he had a terminal illness was also comforting, because he knew he'd be with his girl again soon.
New Zealand has the best CCTV footage I've ever seen I must say 👍
It’s wild that he got tinder dates. This guy’s got a face only a mother could love.
the look of the detective around 10:10. Love em.
That’s so sad her dad died before he was convicted 😭😔
the cameras though!!!
It’s crazy how advanced we are that you can literally watch someone in 4K throughout their day committing their murders and cleaning up
Just a note but Australia is known as " down under " . New Zealand is known as "the land of the long white cloud"
Fun fact!
Oh thanks. I didn’t know about New Zealand
I just know NZ as kiwiland, or hobbitland.
'Down under' refers to both, but more commonly Australia since that song by Men at Work.
@@gregarmstrong6077 Such a great song. Men at Work were just starting out when l lived in Aus and were my local pub band.
Meeting over the internet has seemed wrong to me from the beginning. I'm sure there are lots of happy stories, but I'm old school and gonna stay that way.
But a guy/girl met in person at a club/bar/church/social gathering can also be a weirdo/creep/rapist/murderer.
We all like to think they come with a big red flag or sign saying 'I'm dangerous' but some of them just don't......and then it can be too late.
Me too, this is NO criticism of Grace as I know a lot of young women used TINDER but it makes my skin crawl to hear young women take such a risk with a total stranger. Her poor Dad, so ill when he had to visit NZ desperately looking for his daughter only to find out she had met a creep who had killed her.
I'm curious if anyone else finds it suspicious that the police found a large amount of blood in his apartment?
I always thought the amount of blood loss a strangled person has equals to zero. It's possible someone else was murdered in that room...
I wondered this too 🤔. There was blood all found in the room which wouldn't be consistent with strangulation. My own mom asked me did he dismember her before putting her body in a suitcase because she didn't understand how blood could be there either.
@@anitaknight3915 yea it makes no sense and, he didn't dismember her, yet he bought cleaning supplies.
He also smuggled out 2 cases, the content of the 2nd case was not discussed at all. It might have been another woman he got rid of that day.
,in terms of what he's going for as he tells his story or what. But I can agree, that's a pretty big detail to not go over. But 17 years is all they gave him? Smh.
Yeah, I think you guys are mid reading Mike when he narrates like that. He said, That is what he gave as his official statement of what happened. Then the crime scene tells us that's all complete BS. But he totally dismembered her putting her in two suitcases like that. And then when they recovered her they know that he did. But I can't remember if his actual charges reflected brutalizing a corpse or if they even do that in NZ like here in the states. Mike doesn't go completely full into the cases in complete detail like that
@@MijoShrek yea it's odd that it's not affecting the verdict. Usually Mike's a little more keen on those details and it wasn't mentioned at all, but if you break some bones you could eventually fit a corpse in a case if it's a larger one. It just struck me odd ^^"
I saw the thumbnail, my first thought was “woah she’s cute whose she?” And then I see the channel it’s from and my heart broke
Just looking at him..he creeps me out..
Got to say watching this was kind of difficult. I live in Auckland City so seeing all these familiar places in connection with such a horrible act of violence and the things that followed is very troubling. I cry every time I think about Grace because no matter what you think of her actions of traveling alone, no one deserves what happened to her. The court of public opinion focused on her actions rather than that of her killer. You should be able to travel alone without fear of being hurt or killed by strangers. This guy was a monster and should never have been offered name suppression. This is the first I'm seeing of the cctv footage without blurring and he looks cool as a cucumber. Makes me sick
I agree about travelling alone - I did it for years. BUT you have to be careful too and not go home with someone you've only known for a few hours. I would never have done that myself...and I'm a Guy.
@Holly333 You're right. I should have said 'horrible act of violence followed by cold and calculated efforts to cover up a crime'. My bad
So the reason he got me suppression is his sister was/is a high ranking police officer. He was in the psych part of Mt Eden, not because he was at risk of harming himself, but because he was such a coward and everyone in there fucking hated him for what he did, for bragging and trying to be tough, and then constantly running to the guards literally crying that people were being mean to him lol
Basically, anyone traveling in a foreign country alone needs to just be a bit cautious. I live in NZ and tourists have been violently assaulted even when with another person. I’m not saying that people need to not do things that they want to, just that violent people can be anywhere so be aware and don’t take risks with people you don’t know or camp in isolated areas. NZ is quite a safe country for the most part, but never assume that there are no bad people around.
Oh, and I want to ask about apps like Tinder: does everyone who meets on Tinder hook up? There was another case of a NZ woman in Australia who met a guy on Tinder and went to his place. It’s not known exactly what happened, but he claimed that she became combative and wouldn’t leave his apartment after they partied and had sex. He ended up putting her out on the balcony and locking the door. When she couldn’t get back in she tried to climb to another lower balcony and fell to her death. Some people think he was more involved in her death. And he left the building and got something to eat after she fell. Then I think he called his dad. So, another person who seemed disconnected from the death of a woman he was just with.
Why do women choose to hook up with strangers to have sex when they’re away from familiar places? It seems so risky and unnecessary. And men are also at risk from strangers in these scenarios. Some women can become unhinged and violent in certain circumstances. Is it because they’ve hooked up with strangers before with no negative consequences? No one deserves to be attacked or killed no matter the circumstances. I just wish more forethought and caution would temper the inclination to go home with a stranger. Sadly, it has always been a thing (the 1973 “Mr Goodbar” murder of Roseann Quinn, for example).
20:15 murder so rare in their country the PM announces the arrest rather than the police chief.
There is also fotage where he checking her handbag and testing if she remebers where she left her bag
I always hears it's common for people in New Zealand to refer to themselves as kiwis but at 20:19 when she says the kiwis I have spoken to, just made me smile. Her whole statement felt so sincere not just someone trying to push good P.R.
My respect for New Zealand for having CCTV protection everywhere and once authorities were involved with the case how quickly they brought that monster to justice. Good police work! My heart goes out to Grace's family. But at least she's in heaven with her Dad. 🙏💞
the downside to cctv is that they have algorithms looking for body language the may be a crime so they can bust people before a crime takes place. Pre-crime is not a crime.Also even with all the CCTV the bars which were 24 hours now have to shut at 1 am because police cant effectively manage crimes all hours. yawn lazy
Just curious. How do you know she or her dad went to heaven?
Having just watched someone caught on camera leading a victim to his room and subsequently getting rid of her body, referring to those cameras as "protection" is pretty ironic. Cameras don't protect people, the death penalty doesn't discourage murderers and neither does the threat of hell by the way.
he did kill her. Nothing about bondage here. he Killed her and hoped that he could cover it up and not get caught… but BOOOM!!! CCTV sold him out!
I remember the news when it happened here it was devastating I know as a little country we were horrified we couldn't keep her safe during her visit
I am a kiwi and I am sorry this happened to Grace 🙏🏼 our country is beautiful but nothing is perfect is it😞😞
It’s like the Truman Show this guy’s every move was recorded on cctv.
The woman who walked away from the date sure has a story to tell... especially with the video of him with her. 😵
He should have sent the luggage somewhere via an airline. She would have been lost for years.
"So there is like a key 🔑 and they should like, throw it away." The things you say...🤣😂
No way that was his first murder! He was way to collected and calm afterwards and he will be out sooner than later..
He panicked? Didn't seem panicked when he was preparing to dispose of her. How horrid.
He was concerned about getting cat fished 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s all over the T.V……
You know he has killed before!! They need to track his travels bigtime!!
This man was legit broadcasted in 4K the entire time. Why can’t cases in the US be this clear?
Like DAMN. Love to see it!
I’m going to check out your channel!! You’ve got some awesome stuff!!
Right!? That was the clearest CCTV footage I've ever seen!
Won't fit the media narrative.
@@OdintheGermanShepherd thank you brother!🙏🏼
@@twown that doesn't make any sense
That cop questioning him looks so over it. Like when he says, “Tell me what happened Saturday” and doofus says, “From the beginning?”. Dude looks like he wants to smack him!
Not to mention that cop was HUGE.
“From the beginning?”
“Yea!”
he was talking so slow and fake gasping for air ugh I would lose it if I was the cop. I would be like oh bullshit quit the lying and fake nonsense
“Police dogs can’t find a body if it’s buried more than 4 feet.”-Things not to say on a 1st date
:)
No, it’s great thing to say because any sane woman would run after hearing it. I wish all psychos gave themselves away on dates like he did.
@@surefire8568 So true, if only they could all go a step further and just say "I'm an abuser/rapist/killer/whatever" so the women can run away and block them forever.
Red flag!!!
I wonder what he said to Grace on their first date : "did you know that most people don't get caught after murdering a date?"
I cannot believe how many cameras Auckland has, and the quality...
true
other countries need to take note
@@holynun5693 that goes for other things New Zealand has accomplished as a country. Exemplary.
The quality!! I am so not used to actually being able to see a face detail on cctv
I can’t believe women date guys who do this kinda stuff...
Grow up women...just grow up...
The case when all cameras were working, and had a perfect quality! Amazing.
This will probably get lost since it's been 8 months since this video was aired. I knew Grace personally, we were on the same marketing courses at Lincoln University (we were part of a group project during second year). I remember my girlfriend at the time asking me in late 2018 'do you know of a Grace Millane? She's been reported missing'. My group of mates were spooked but thought she'll be found alive, just someone travelling who may have got too drunk and lost her phone ( it happens on nights out at uni). When her body was reported, it sent shockwaves amongst the uni and everyone who knew her. I went back through my google drive and saw a few presentations we'd done together for Service Marketing and it's strange knowing someone who we joked about skipping seminars sometimes (like anyone else does) to end up murdered. Utterly surreal. I t feels so weird to see someone who I studied with son closely - who I also graduate within my cohort be murdered. She was just enjoying herself and this is how her life ended... It just hurts me mate.
This is an undiscussed and hard to comprehend pain. Thank you for posting this, I hope it helped you.
This one has stuck with me since Mike first posted it. She looks like such a sweet gal, just disgusting what he did, especially the lies. He is creepy looking to me, I don't know why she was attracted to him at all. But at any rate, I will never forget her story.
I can’t imagine being that 2nd Tinder date and realizing how close she had come...
Unlike Grace, that girl's female intuition about the creep was strong, and she listened to it - she could not get away from him fast enough. Grace was literally an innocent abroad. She came from a respectable, middle class home, I doubt she had ever been in any kind of risky situation before, so didn't recognise the potential danger Kempson posed.
She was young and naive, bless her. She lapped up a predator's flattery, and agreed to be alone with him behind a locked door. Which turned out to be a literally fatal mistake. So sad.
Or the other assault victims realising they are lucky to even be alive.
@@glamdolly30 intuition???? He was talking about dead Bodies for christsakes!
Right. No doubt he would've killed her too!
I bet she spreads the word about not feeling badly about trusting one's instincts. It's easy to minimize and think you're being paranoid.
The New Zealand lady addressing the media near the end was so sincere. Her voice cracking when she said "Your daughter should have been safe here, and she wasn't, and I am sorry for that." 😢
That " New Zealand lady " is their Prime Minister, Jacinda Adern .
Never mind her. She's good at pretending to be sincere.
Easily fooled then?
@@cosmicdebris42 Alas, yes.
@@nzcamel3 She scares me and i'm in Scotland My friend. Its Grimm here to man. There is no free speech. I cannot leave my house wothout being tailed by the Road Pirates Following me or just driving past. Its like a Police state.
This all unfolded right next door to my work, I used to go to that last bar Grace was at next to his apartment (Blue Stone). I was there nearly every day after work, it was eerie looking up and seeing through his apartment window that looked over the bar, it had plastic lining inside his room for some reason. Forensics, clean up, renovations, I dunno. I shudder to think what her last moments were like. Poor Grace and her poor family, so unnecessary. One of the waitresses at Blue Stone was one of Jesse's tinder hookups, the one who left her glasses at Jesse's place and teased him about him giving them back to her since he literally lived 5 steps away, she seemed rather shaken up for a while after the revelation of what happened to Grace. She was often absent a lot to attend court so it gave her identity away to the regulars there. Poor girl, she is lucky to be alive. Blue Stone has since closed down due to rona so that puts an end to that strange and tragic chapter.
As a New Zealander , I felt deeply ashamed when this happened. As our prime Minister said , she should have been safe here. I think her father passed away a year or so after the court case. The murderer got name suppression until after he had been jailed. I didn't think this was fair, someone from overseas put his name on Google and this caused a stir , it had to be taken down. I sometimes wished New Zealand had the death penalty, Jesse Kempton will do this again. I doubt he can be " rehabilitated" .
R I P Grace, much love to your family 🙏
For a dude who spent his life lying he sucks at it.
I had the same thought, he was tragic
Indeed!☺️
Spend your life lying and getting caught in one will unravel the rest.
He was fking hopeless at it!
falling asleep during the shower and found her dead?
"I was panicked"
He says, killing someone and then going out on another date
He is crazy!
@@eupiaeupia2647 please stop calling evil, “crazy”.
@@hillarybillary21 Those are not mutually exclusive
Crazy for sure🤬
*wearing the same clothes even!! 🧐
I almost expected CCTV footage of him burying her in the woods.
I did too. Very disappointing.
Shout out to Aussies for the excellent CCTVs.
I thought he said they had it
LMAOOOO
@@monicdavis6150 you mean New Zealand? Pretty sure CCTV here in Australia is crap just like America 😂
Finally a surveillance camera doing its job-clearly
Lol in every single other case the CCTV footage quality is like half a frame per second with a resolution of 4 blurry, poorly lit pixels, like you might as well guess what it is you're seeing
Imagine this took place at a bank sheesh
Cameras can do their job if there are cameras!
There are private businesses installing cameras on their private property it has nothing to do with 'government surveillance. "
Europe you cant get away w shit like that in the big cities they have CCTV on every fucking corner its top tier
17 years and eligible for parole!?!? What a joke
This is the only part that the Kiwis should feel any shame for.
They always use that “rough sex” defense. Disgusting filth taking pics of her dead body and getting off on that. I can’t imagine my loved one going missing and being murdered in a foreign country. What a helpless feeling having it happen so far away.
Stay safe out there ladies, and fellas, when meeting up with strangers. It’s a scary world.
sad about her Dad dying of cancer shortly afterward, can you imagine the grief he experienced?
Double the broken heart for her mother and family! What a piece of trash he turned out to be. My goodness, wish she never went up to his place with him. So sad she couldn’t of known. This broke my heart. Because she’s almost the same age as my first. Ughhh....a chance of parole after 17 yrs? Oh hell no 😡😡😡
People tend to let their guard down (if they have any) when on vacation and especially in foreign countries.
BIG MISTAKE.
If only people listened to their "gut" feeling more
Along with the rough sex defense they always say it was the girl who wanted to do it. Blaming the victim.
What disturbs me was that she genuinely was having a good time and this monster was probably planning his actions the whole night
Absolutely. His apology amounted to just emotional manipulation. He found someone who couldn't decode it.
An hour after she died he's looking for burial sites and then porn. That's just next level fucked up.
@Christopher Meisner that's the worst part out of all of it (murder aside). It possibly could have been prevented, he might have been on probation and barred from using dating apps. I think Gable Tostee uses them now!
@@kylieh123 Were the other crimes reported before the murder investigation? I thought the other 9 charges were brought as they found out more from previous dates/victims. I don't think I can go back and rewatch. Not for awhile anyway. I feel so awful for Grace's father. Has cancer but still outlives his daughter.
I hadn't heard of that Tostee guy before. Was he acquitted by claiming self defense? Sounds like a prick. "The best cure for feminism is a good root" and referred to his murder acquittal saying: "the only thing I murder is p***y".
@@joshuadowdle9691 he actually had a record at that point so it's scary that he wasn't on some kind of watch list.
Gable Tostee was the guy who had a tinder date on the gold coast with a girl (from new Zealand coincidentally) and she died from a balcony fall. He was found not guilty of pushing her.
This is why my daughter being on Tinder gives me stress and anxiety.
Initially I didn’t understand her need to go on Tinder while having only two weeks left in NZ - but of course it was to meet up for sex. Not knowing that she’d connect with his evil person.
You’re absolutely right to be worried it is full of porn obsessed perverts. Your daughter should stay well away!
Its disgusting. Meeting strangers for sex! What are the youngsters doing! In my generation people who had one night stands were consider tarts or slappers! And now it's just 'living a full life". Its not.. its disgusting, dirty and dangerous!
Youd think had brought it on herself if she went hitch hiking. Isn't hooking up for casual sex even worse. She brought it on herself.
@@kenfryer2090 , no, she didn’t bring it on herself. She made an unwise choice and this *man* brought death on her. He deserves all of our contempt and outrage. She never asked for a violent death.
@@kenfryer2090 It’s not the victim’s fault, dude. Hooking up has been going on since the dawn of man. You can stop clutching your pearls and get your head out of your behind.
That second woman was so damn lucky. Her intuition was spot on, it probably saved her life.
No kidding. Can't imagine how that date would have even gone. "Oh, don't mind the mess"
I hope they searched other missing person cases?
Agreed but it still needs improvement because she was using Tinder to begin with
Let's hear it for the bitches of the world, these videos have cured me of ever being forgiving and sweet on a first date. Red flags and uh byebye!!! I am single. AND ALIVE!!!!
I seriously wonder what he would have done if they 'hit it off'. Take her back to his place!? Go with her to her place and fucking kill her there? Or did he think he could just go on and live a normal life with a dead body back at his apartment?
@@evabakker I’m pretty sure Grace was his test run, he got exhilarated with the murder and went prowling for a second victim. He would definitely become a serial killer.
It was such a terrible, unnecessary killing and all because the lust of a narcicist psycho. It is very sad. She had her whole life ahead of her. Very sad to hear that her dad died of cancer shortly thereafter. May they both RIP and my prayers are with the surviving family.
You are so right, it is absolutely devastating.
yes, he was a sadistic narcissistic manipulative predator
Terrible, senseless, and also stupid. Like I know that is very much not the focus here, the focus is the life thats been lost but he did a bad job of this whole murder thing and was caught the whole way in HD, so on top of being a narcissistic, predatory, delusional liar, he's a dumbass as well.
Yeah like he literally had no other reason besides wanting that narcissistic psychopathic ego boost.
Exactly, i hope that the other Tinder date girl gets put in jail too, definitely guilty
Every week, it's a beautiful cycle of forgetting what day it is, refreshing TH-cam and randomly finding a That Chapter video on my homepage :')

Jesse to judge: "You have no reason to convict me." - Apparently Jesse has an OJ Simpson-like understand of the law..
This bastard made sure she didn't make it to her birthday the next day. The fact that he left her dead on the floor and then went on another date... I can't even believe how evil he is. May Grace and her father rest in peace together.
why is her dad dead too? damn thats a hard blow for the family if thats the case.
@@georgecostanza831 Yes - and the reason her mother couldn't come to NZ when she was missing was because she had cancer. Then her father died of cancer. So sad for her two brothers.
@WiLD CHiLD i comment too early. story of my life really.
@@BellaLeoLicorice Kinda puts your own problems into perspective doesnt it.
This one made me angrier than most. That post he made apologizing and acting like he's turning a new leaf and he's sorry but he's learned from his mistakes. Did I understand correctly that he posted that the day he murdered grace?
