He has a history of domestic violence yet they let him become a foster parent and if the wife kept that from the department then she's as much as fault for putting that girl in harms way.
Very true.
Absolutely agree.
Did he have a history of domestic violence when he fostered her? Had he been reported to the police and arrested and convicted of domestic violence?
I work in child protection and would NEVER place a child with someone whos got a history of DV. He absolutely did it amd his wife covered for him.
The fact the foster dad made no attempt to save her is a dead giveaway, im actually stunned at the ineptitude of the police in this case.
If the foster mother knew her husband was violent, why on earth did she think it was appropriate to be a foster family?
I think the step dad was abusing her and killed her to silence her.
No evidence of that at all.
Or he attempted to and she said she would tell.
@@thetragicyouththere is evidence he was physically violent but that's not what I think they meant. Bruising weeks before death. Statements from friends of Bruising on Billie Jo and the Foster mother of violent outbursts.
@@nannysfollyI agree.
It’s preposterous that the murder weapon was not tested for DNA.
Did they have DNA testing in the early '80s
? ?? She was born in 83" this happened in 97" @@manleynelson9419
@@manleynelson9419In 1997, yes, absolutely.
Even into the 90’s DNA wasn’t fully developed, accessible and reliable.
Testing for DNA in the 90’s destroyed the entire sample and they needed a solid suspect to warrant the testing.
Even when they retained the evidence until they had a suspect, DNA degrades over time and there might not even be enough evidence left for a conclusive profile. It could fail to be conclusive.
Court was another matter, as it took time for the laws to catch-up with obtaining DNA through court order or through discarded samples etc..
For a jury to rely on DNA was yet another matter, as it was a very new science. There were people sitting on death row after a jury disregarded the evidence despite DNA not even matching their profile.
This case in the video also happened in a relatively small town with a small budget for working cases and criminal prosecution. DNA probably wasn’t even available to them until the 2000’s and the trial cost 10 million pounds/dollars. That’s like 39 million today.
For reference: That’s enough to break the entire town, raise taxes through the roof and put it in deep debt for a decade. They really did try their best to secure a conviction.
It's more preposterous that a girl can be fostered out to a family like this. Where was the diligence??
You get a 15 year old to paint a door and when its not perfect you snap, hmm wonder what else he was doing in that family no wonder his wife moved to the other side of the world, knows something we dont,
He was said to have violent outburst, I also see it as a sign that she took the kids and went as far as possible
Goes toward the DV its all about control. Think of the film Sleepimg with the Enemey and how everything had to be perfect and there was consequences if there wasn't.
10 million pounds, 3 trials and they never got around to DNA testing the murder weapon? Something seriously awry with this case. RIP poor little girl, failed by so many.
Beyond useless
There's been no justice received in this case
Silly cliché.
I wholeheartedly believe her foster father did it. That's the reason for him running out to the store for an alibi so his daughter could find her etc.
That’s because you listen to TH-camrs like this who only rehash the official narrative instead of critically analysing any of the detail.
@@Aiel-Necromancer Which really made him look suspicious. Nice try though.
But he went in just for 3 minutes... Have I missed something?
Exactly! To kill like this is sick enough.. to leave the body for your own daughter to find is even lower. I believe he did it, too.
Poor beautiful girl, started out rough in life and ended rough, murdered by we all know who…to suffer at the hands of those who should have protected her😔💔
OMGosh....who? 😳
It is indeed suspicious that he would circle around the neighbourhood like that if he wasn't intending to do something
Very strange. He’s guilty! There’s more to that story. Wasn’t checked into right! 🤔
100% correct I was thinking the same exact thing!!!
Or do we ascribe weirdness to things we don’t know
If you are a middle aged Brit like me you will still be haunted by this case I’m sure
Nah
@@jokesonyou1373 Shame on you , your soul has already left your body , if indeed you were born with one .
I remember this case. Billie Jo never should've been placed in that household. Sorry to hear the original upload was demonetized and you had to re-upload it.
How they choose to demonetize stuff like this but mainstream media posts diarrhea all the time and that’s ok?
I don't think there's any other answer than Sean did it. Why I don't know. But lois turned against him pretty quick. I think they all knew but sadly can't be 100% proved
The foster mom could have done it
@@iknitbecuzmurderisfrownedupon She wasn't home when the murder happened. Unless she's magic or the whole family is covering for her, it's not likely, is it?
I cant help thinking he was angry over the paint job and flipped..
@@Fourleafclover9 Or Sean wanted to molest her and she wasn’t interested.
@@Fourleafclover9I agree maybe he lost it because she made a mess as he went to buy white spirits to clean up paint 🤔
Thank you for covering this. I was born and bred in Hastings, and this case shook the town to it's core. There's not a person in that town that believes Sion Jenkins is innocent.
There's so many odd things that he did. Firstly the two loops around the park - that area is always busy, it's a cut through to town from various residential areas but also used by heavily used by learner drivers as you have to regularly stop to dodge parked cars and oncoming traffic. Likewise there is a massive roundabout and traffic lights depending on which way he went to what was B&Q (now an Aldi) in Ore, so not a quick route in the first instance. Secondly Lower Park Road was a really nice area to live in, the houses are big with the view over Alexandra Park. At the time, the park didn't have a great reputation but this was mostly the more northern end towards Bohemia Road (as it's more enclosed at that end, rather than the end towards town, which was nearer the Jenkins' house). It was OK to walk through in the day, but you wouldn't cut across it at night. So it would be easy to blame one of the various drug addicts and alcoholics that were often seen there as the culprit. Likewise there were/are a number of residential care homes for the mentally ill on the other side of the park and which is about 5/10 minute walk depending on how far away you are.
There was a rumour going round town at the end (I worked in a hairdressers at the time so was privy to a lot of gossip!) that Billie-Jo was going to go public about previous SA from Sion and the fact she was pregnant, but this was never confirmed or denied. She was also known as being quite a loud individual which adds weight to the rumour.
I personally think he did it, but then I also think that Sheila Bowler (another local murder - there was a film made about it "Anybody's Nightmare" with Patricia Routledge) is still guilty.
Poor soul. Hope who ever did this will pay for it. RIP Angel 👼🏻💝
I think the foster dad did it, but I think BJ was dead before they went to the DIY store for a basically bogus reason. If you have paint, you have cleaning spirits.
And if you’ve been driving you have a wallet with your license, and probably credit cards, in it, especially if you’re someone who is generally not broke. I know credit cards weren’t as ubiquitous then as now but I rather doubt he needed cash.
🎯💯🎯
@@littleblackcar "if you’ve been driving you have a wallet with your license" in the US but in the UK you don't have to carry your license. It all started with him just going to pick up one of the kids so he may not have grabbed his wallet. I imagine he got home, saw she made a bit of a mess, annoyed went out to paint cleaner, realized he didn't have money, had to go back home getting even more annoyed, a quick bash (x9) and then left her for his daughter to find.
@@Punatik In what Western country today do men leave without their wallets? Not only the police ask for I.D. and not only I.D. is carried in wallets. Regardless, I simply cannot fathom (given the totality of the circumstances) who else but Sian killed poor B.J.
@@plynn136US woman here and If I’m just picking up my kid from school I often leave with just my DL. But, as I speculated in my last post, I think he was pissed about the mess and believe, like you, that he killed her.
The thing that strikes me about this case is the lack of, or inadequacy of background checks.
So often you hear of Foster children being placed with abusers, but the school not checking his references was frankly bizarre.
Neither of these are acceptable imo, anyone placed in positions of authority or influence NEED to have far more stringent checks.
How do you get released from police custody via the Mental Health Act?
Never tested the tent peg. Cops are one of a kind, aren't they?
I'm so sad about this case. This poor girl with my name had an even worse childhood than I had. I hope she's resting in peace. 🙏
On a side note- it was cool hearing my name spoken by the narrator in her lovely accent even if she wasn't talking about me.😊
Again failed justice in the UK
Why would that mother agree to or seek out the placement of a foster child if he was so violent?
Obviously the wife would be under immense stress, unless she has connections to Australia and Tasmania a divorced woman with four kids moving all that way and to not the mainland but a island it seems that there may have been a lot more going on regarding his violent outbursts and how frightening and threatening were they ?
I believe that Sion killed Billie-Jo. Suffice to say I was part of a military investigation regarding the murder of a soldier by his comrade. The killer had very little blood on him but what was found belonged to the victim. It was quite the conundrum until I tried to replicate the blood splatter. The murder weapon which was determined to be an entrenching tool was never recovered. There are ways to bludgeon someone to death without getting much, if any, blood on yourself. The culprit was tried by court martial and sentenced to life without parole. The police botched this investigation. RIP Billie-Jo.
I believe it was the foster dad
You'd need to be more specific really.
I believe it probably was him. But without hard proof not really anything they can do. They tried to get him convicted and then he was acquitted years later. Because the Jury just couldn't decide. A Jury decides who did it based on evidence. There clearly isn't enough for a safe conviction.
@@louwinters508 yep, well said
Sean did it.
Poor Billie Jo had a rough life and then gets murdered. I hope in time, the murderer will be found.
RIHP Billie Jo.
I never believed he was innocent.
HOW COME " THESE" PREDATORS " ARE FLOATING AROUND THE 🌎! DON'T THEY DO " BACKGROUND ✔️ ON FOSTER FAMILY??😞😞😞
I’m only two minutes in, but my belly says foster-father Sean/Shawn/Shaun SAed and murdered the poor child, Billie-Jo.
Also, how did bio-mom have “no other option” but to abandon her daughter? What struggles? Why did Debra NEED to opt out of her child’s life?
Billie-Jo was dead before Shawn left for the clarinet pick-up.
This is horrific.
I remember this so clearly and it's mind bending what really happened and who did it? Obviously the father does look guilty but he was cleared.Hope Billie Jo is at pease 🙏💖😢
Peace ✌️
He was not cleared
@@plynn136 Correct, not cleared. The jury failed to reach a verdict in the 2nd and 3rd trials. I don't think anyone seriously believes that Sion Jenkins didn't do it.
His wife looks like she was abused too
How can something cost the tax payers so much money when they didn't even do the most basic investigation work? It's absurd that cost $10 million dollars for nothing?
Well each person is paid and over time. Lunch meetings, celebratory meetings with food and drinks etc solicitors fees, court fees, wrongful arrest compensation etc etc etc oh and bonuses!
Lois moved to the other side of the world with the children of a man ultimately found not guilty. I want to know what steps, if any, Siôn has taken to contact or attempt to regain partial or full custody of his kids. Because whether or not he's tried to get his kids back points directly to his qualities as a father, and may cast further suspicion upon him in Billie-Jo's death.
I'm a bit confused about the accounts of "a nose blood bubble" at the moment that she has"bin plastic bits" pushed up her nostrils. Any ideas??????
Not entirely sure what you're asking.
That confused me too but then i thought maybe she had the plastic in her nostrils and a blood bubble at the same time.
I feel like he got angry at Billie for refusing his advances in the shed and hit her and punched her in the nose. She fell to the floor, semi-unconscious. She had blood pouring out of her nose, so he ripped off some pieces of plastic nearby to plug it while he thought about what to do.
I think he knew he had gone too far and there was no way Billie would keep quiet now. So he panicked, grabbed the tent peg and ended her life.
I feel like the 3 minute return was to check that she was definietly dead, check no-one had found her, cover her body or lock the shed.
I feel like he was going to the store to buy things for cleaning and disposal of her body. Thats why he plugged her nostrils, so there wouldn't be as much blood to clean.
I think he changed his mind about the cleaning and disposal and tried his luck 'finding her', calling 911 like many killers do and hoping he can charm detectives into believing he wasnt involved.
Could have been plastic up one nostril and blood bubble coming out of the other.
Thanks everyone billy joe is my auntie and we still trying to get justice
Whatever the truth of the matter (although it seems obvious), neither the foster father nor the local government (incl. the police and the foster agency) are doing a very good job of looking blameless. The government, in particular, seems to be trying to dishonor itself even further by wasting millions in taxpayer funds just to prove an obviously guilty man innocent, and then turning him loose.

I remember this case from years ago . Very sad
Wow! With that name, I thought it was in the Southern United States!
Nope. We're everywhere! Lol!
Stop giving kids to people and giving them money to take care of them.....that is literally the only reason these people keep the children in the first place.
Can you think of any downsides to removing funding for fostering?
@eadweard. Loads unfortunately.
Children remaining with unsafe parents / situations, more foster homes, rushed adoptions .... sad really although it would be nice of people fostered for the right reasons.
lying on a CV confirms that you are not trustable in a murder investigation? wtf?
🤨
🤣@@__logan__duvalier__
I'm from Hastings. I was 8 at the time of this and grew up with news stories of this. I also went to the secondary school that he was deputy head master of, though it was after he left obviously.
The case has always fascinated and disturbed me. I dont understand how it's not covered more
I had forgotten that they never convicted anyone in the end. 😢
Poor baby girl....
Bless her she's be 40 now., same age as my daughter., I recall this as if it was y.day. RIP sweetheart. X
When was the original video uploaded?
This is another case of the usual "ive got a child in my house who isnt biologically mine." And then the S-abuse starts and then they need to keep it hush, or the victim threatens to tell or says they are going to tell. Panic ensues and then murder.
How did they not figure that out?
Our system is broken. It has always been so. They need to reform from the bottom up. If you don't care how can you choose good caring fosters? Or adopters? There's not enough good people for those carreers. Money is alot of the time the only thing that matters. There are alot of young entrepreneurs making millions using the internet and trying to get more to drop their careers and go for the easy money. They're going to end up using AI for everything and that is terrifying to me. And terribly sad. These kinds of careers need a personal touch. Caring. This poor innocent girl! Just gets my blood boiling. I doubt most of us old folks will be around for most of that stuff but I worry for the young ones. Worry about my grandkids. My granddaughter is in college studying on a 4yr ride that she earned all the way thru her 13yrs of school. She's almost done with this leg of her schooling. Studying child psychology. I wonder if her chosen field will be available to people for much longer. Will they faze out the human touch? The actual caring? Or will AI start taking over? Obviously no one cared enough for this child. And SO many more. It's only getting worse. I hope Billy Jo is at peace now. Free. No more suffering. I hope the loved ones, those who really DID love her, will get the answers they need and the monster that took that girls life is caught. Thank you DC🙏🏼💔🕊️
Foster dad seems the obvious culprit. Big, strong man demolishes a young, beautiful girl. What a tough guy! Some people are sick.
I thought it was weird that he took only 1 of the girls to pick up the clarinetist why not take both? Billie-Jo was only 13 and she was a foster child, it was very irresponsible to leave her.
A sad case.
Today I found out that my uncle went to primary school with Billie-Jo Jenkins and knew her. He also went to the secondary school that Sion Jenkins worked at (William Parker) around the same time that he would have been working there. I also went to William Parker but that was long after Sion Jenkins worked there. Not a claim to fame, just a weird coincidence. That same uncle of mine was also in the newspaper after he hijacked a bus and crashed it.
Condolences 💐
HOW U FORGET UR" 💰"🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 REST IN PEACE 🕊️ BILLIE JO, NO MORE PAIN 🙏🏽 NO MORE TEARS 😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😞😞😞😞😞😞🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Was him 100%…probably was abusing that poor girl then had to keep her from talking..shocking mistake to let him off and it cost us 10 million for it !
Its one thing when biological parents abuse their children its another when foster parents do the same i mean why even bother putting your names forward as foster parents if thats how you treat a child under your care it makes no sense to me
They get paid to do it.
Easy access to already victimized kids. It's beyond sick. And common.
Yeah you ever heard of the two little boys in California? Cinsere and Classic were adopted by trezell and jacqueline west, they had adopted many kids bc the more kids you adopt the more the state pays you. Not to mention you get more food stamps money too, based on how many family members you've got. Billie Jo lived in England but it's probably similar there. Either way trezell and jacqueline both just got life sentences for killing the boys. Abuse of foster and adopted children is very very common because people don't take in kids out of the kindness of their hearts. Its for the money.
For the easy money.
UK.
So he went in to get money but never.said anything to the girl? And never did go to the store but drove around the neighborhood? Case closed.
Shaun should have been convicted of the murder for BEATING THE KIDS! WTF?!?!?
We as she tested for pregnancy or previous sa? Seems like dad got away with it. 😢
RIP Billy Jo. I am so sorry for what happened to you.
Step-father killed her.
Who hasn't been economical with the truth on their CV? Means nothing.
There's embellishing qualifications a bit. And then there's doing what Sion Jenkins did, writing a complete piece of fiction. He's a bare-faced liar. And almost certainly a murderer.
My money ison the nasty step father, angry because she made a mess of the painting.
Very peculiar motive.
I reckon she was being s,a'd
@@louisasmiles What's that?
Sexually assaulted @eadweard.
Not really people with a short temper get ticked off at stupid things all the time.
✔️
BEAUTIFUL 🪦, 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Poor girl. She was placed there to be safe.
The foster dad is very sus, however why would he shove plastic up Billies nose? Bit of an odd coincidence that he would do such a random thing at the same time there was a nutter in the area who enjoyed shoving plastic in bodily orifices.
To delay time of death, or make sure she was dead if you thought you might be discovered and left the scene.
Also could be to put suspicion elsewhere
@@faithoverfear1722 Was he aware there was a nutter in the area who liked shoving plastic places? Otherwise it woul dbe a very odd choice of thing to put suspicion elsewhere.
The "nutter" you describe is called Mark Lynham, a local inadequate, who catergorically did NOT kill Billie-Jo Jenkins.
I reckon the foster dad is guilty.
They should all be sacked for placing her in that home with an abusice father. I would sue them.
He got away with murder. She was dripping paint, and I think he lost his temper and killed her.
With the name Billie jo. Was there more to this ?
Unfottunetly, double jepordy prevents someone from being tried more than once, if found not guilty.
Not in UK law
That was dropped years ago. A ridiculous antiquated system. With ever-improving technology people who walked free before can now be put away with new forensic evidence.
If new evidence comes to light, that could substantially alter the outcome , the a defendant can be retried .
Poor Billie Jo.
They should have taken in billies real father. He may have hired someone. He was in prison. Or the wife of sion that moved to tasmania. Perhaps the whole family did it. They all hated or was jealous of her. Because there is no way this case could remain onsolved for such a long time. I belive that it was more than one person involved.
If he did do it, what was the motive?
Use your imagination.
Billie Jo's mother sounds like a selfish and childish person---imagine, running out of the service because she saw the foster mother, when she herself had given her daughter into the foster system! SMH
You have no right to condemn a mother for reacting strongly to an emotional trigger at her own daughter's funeral.
@@Leelz247shouldn’t have had a baby if she was too retarded to take care of her.
I'd have stayed and told that stupid w*tch to leave. It was the foster mothers job to keep Billie-jo safe, not put her in danger with a 'violent man' in her words!!!
@@Leelz247 I didn't condemn her, I said she acted selfish and childish, which I actually do have a right to do.
You didnt mention tne piece of plastic bag that was found in her nostril (if I remember correctly). This was connected to a local man who had an obsession with such plastic bags. I'd have to check why the man wasn't arrested for or if he was , and subsequently released, why. It was a while ago now and I've forgotten all the details
I play clarinet!!!
Why do you guys keep reuploading old videos as if they're new?
ALOT OF CHANNEL COVERED THIS CASE!!! ITS BRAND NEW MY FRIEND ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
@JenSmyre Looks like they've added a notice that's it's a reupload because they're frequently demonetized.
It says due to demonetization in the description
Actress, not actor.
No, the word actor is used now.
Hollywood has been phasing out the word "actress" for about three years now. "Actor" is now used as a universal term.
Hollywood are trying to phase out the word ''actress'' now in another of their attempts to pretend men and women are the same androgynous blobs
@@lehighguyYou are completely correct... people in the business don't want the gender difference brought into it...
The father was certainly weird, but I never thought he murdered her, and I think he spent time in jail as an innocent man. If you want another case where I think there was a huge miscarriage of justice, and the man is still behind bars, who I believe is innocent look at Jeremy Bamber, whose family was all shot. Another weird case
For beating the poor foster kids, he should be in f*cking prison! Screw you!
Why was she painting a door? Was this some type of punishment for her? He came back and snapped when he saw that the door was not painted right. Just seems weird to me that he was not painting the doors but she was, just a weird chore for a little girl.🤔🤨🫤🧐
I have ALWAYS thought that. I wouldn’t know how to paint doors or anything like it at thirteen.
@@borleyboo5613 Not really, I would have given it to my 10 year old as practice, at 13 she was decorating an entire room. Also wasn't his 10 year old daughter doing something similar?
