    Behind me another me viewer discretion is advised for this educational documentary Britney gargle was born to a happy and loving family on August the 31st 1996 although it was a blended family they were tightly knotted together by love and friendship Britney was born to her mother Suzanne and stepfather Everett joining three stepsisters

    Courtney Tristan and Victoria who would prove to be her best friends as she grew up she was described by her stepsisters as one of the bravest most outspoken and adventurous girls they had ever known this was something they had admired so greatly about her as a teenager she had

    Her sight set on securing her future in Hospitality she landed her first job at the age of 16 and was working as hard as she could driven to have made it in the world by the time she became an adult her family described her as a goetter

    Someone that wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted and work hard towards pursuing her goals by the time she was 18 everyone around her knew that she would flourish and succeed with ease Britney grew up in Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada this is a hugely popular city full of arts and culture

    But despite the hustle and bustle of the big city Saskatoon is also home to an abundance of natural scenery making it one of those best of both world’s locations even though many possibly most find it a delightful place to live it comes with its downfalls saskatoon’s crime rate is extremely high sadly with

    Domestic violence and femicide being a pretty alarming concern for many who reside there in March 2015 Britney was 18 years old with a hardworking life she was balancing two jobs and school living up to the Fearless perseverance that she was known for by her family despite the

    Fact that she kept herself busy she was practical enough to know that she was only young for so long Britney knew she had to enjoy life while she could this is why she still made spending time with friends a priority taking the time out of her busy schedule to spend quality

    Time with the people she loved because of this fact on March the 24th Britney had sectioned off some time to spend with her best friend Cheyenne Rose antoan they had planned to let loose and go bar hopping together drinking and dancing away the wo of the week when the

    Two got together they first went to a party there they hung out with some friends and took a selfie together after this the two started their night out on the town they began the second part of their night at the Manchester brew club they drank and danced there for a few

    Hours then they decided to leave and pay a visit to the Colonial Pub and Grill whilst they were there Cheyenne noticed Britney talking to a mysterious man thinking not too much of it she continued her night of partying but she kept an eye on Britney and the man as

    They got to know each other more more after a while Britney decided she wanted to hang out oneon-one with the man this left Cheyenne to be dropped off at a nearby Senior Living facility she stayed at this facility with her uncle there she used Facebook as a way to get a hold

    Of Britney and ensure that she was safe she wrote where are you haven’t heard from you hope you made it home safe thinking little of Britney’s lack of response she spent the remainder of the night and following morning with her uncle on the morning of March the 25th a

    Man was driving down the road when he saw a strange bundle lying to the side thinking it was a mannequin or something else strange he pulled over to inspect it as he got closer he realized that this was in fact a real female body wor that was no longer living shocked and

    Disgusted the man scrambled to call the police about his Discovery when officers arrived they were greeted by the cold and bruised body it lay without shoes and with a black belt laying beside it because of the bruising on her neck the officers could only assume that she had passed from strangulation and the

    Autopsy indeed would later confirm it she loved life she loved living it she had such a kind heart she gave everything she could to make other people happy she did what she could do to make me happy she wanted to finish school and hope with her own business and do

    Everything she could to be successful and then life was taken from her and she’s no longer with us but when I’m here I can still feel her presence luckily for the investigators they were able to use two tattoos on the woman to try and ident ify her they released

    Photos of the tattoos to the public in an attempt to find her loved ones it wasn’t long before Cheyenne called the station she identified the tattoos as belonging to her best friend Britney gargle Britney’s parents followed closely behind sadly after seeing photos of their daughter’s tattoos on the

    Television This Is How They found out about their beloved Britney’s passing cheyen detail tell to the police what had happened the night before this included the mysterious man that Britney left with that night although it was beneficial that the investigators had gotten a lead so early it would be very

    Hard to identify a man that they had very little physical description of and no name the investigators decided that the best way to track down this man was to follow in the footsteps of what Cheyenne and Britney did that night starting with CCTV foot they started with a pub where Britney

    And the man had met hoping they could at least get video evidence of the man talking with her and even further hoping that they could follow where they went when they left the colonial Pub and Grill they obtained the CCTV footage and combed through it but what they found

    Was not what they expected they saw nothing there was absolutely no video evidence of the two girls ever arriving at the pub meaning there there was no footage of them leaving either the truth was the two girls had never been there on the night of Britney’s passing something here was clearly off Cheyenne

    Had some questions to answer they turned back to the best friend now knowing that her version of events was a lie officers pulled CCTV footage from the senior living facility where her uncle lived they discovered that the time stamp for her arrival was much later than what she

    Had told the police but instead of confronting Cheyenne with this information police decided to speak with her Uncle Instead This is where the case would take a complete unexpected turn Cheyenne’s Uncle would tell the investigators his niece and Britney were together up until Cheyenne arrived at the senior living facility he said they

    Were staying in a motel with two men and there a fight broke out over eliss sub ances this was all according to Cheyenne’s account to her uncle she said she had left her calm down in the bathroom and when she returned Britney was lifeless on the floor the two men

    Had then forced Cheyenne to help them cover up what they had done threatening her life if she were to try and run away from the situation this conversation with cheyanne’s uncle gave them a much deeper insight into the kind of person that Britney’s best friend was was she

    Had a difficult home life and struggled with substance use she proved this fact to be true when she was arrested for multiple substance related charges the police took their opportunity to question Cheyenne Again confronting her with both her uncle’s account and the CCTV footage this time they spoke to a

    Very different Cheyenne she was quiet uncooperative and unwilling to answer any of their questions with the hope of a confession gone out the window the police had to pursue other avenues of figuring out what exactly had happened to Britney on that fateful night 6 months passed and the police had no

    Leads regarding to the motel or the two men morale and hope was low until that is Britney’s parents received some shocking pieces of information another witness to the events of that night had come forward and spoken with Britney’s family they said that Cheyenne had come

    To see her at around 4:00 a.m. on the early morning of Britney’s passing according to the witness Cheyenne was drunk and destroyed confessing to the true story of what had happened to Britney on that night Britney and Cheyenne had gotten into an argument this was rumored to be over illicit

    Substances this caused Cheyenne to completely lose her temper she hit Britney over the head and then proceeded to throttle her leaving Britney completely unresponsive during this conversation the woman had apparently looked at Cheyenne’s car from a distance and there she had seen a woman slumped over inside the woman who we can assume

    To have been Britney looked badly beaten whilst this evidence was a huge help to the case they needed a lot more than the woman’s statements they still didn’t have a reliable timeline of events or any type of evidence that would connect Cheyenne to the crime against her best

    Friend a shocking two years would come and go without any new leads the police knew that if they tried to charge Cheyenne now she would most likely walk free police then conducted numerous interviews They carried out numerous tests and followed almost fruitless leads desperately scraping together any

    Piece of evidence that they could find finally a real true break in the case Cheyenne’s Facebook page on March the 25th 2015 Cheyenne had posted the selfie they had taken together on that night a comment from Cheyenne was written on it 6 months later she detailed how much she

    Missed Britney and wished that she could see her again but the comment wasn’t the source of the investigator’s shock it was the outfit that Cheyenne had been wearing that night the outfit included a black belt looped around her waist the officers immediately recalled the one thing that had been found alongside

    Britney’s body laid on the side of the road on that early morning was a black belt the belts had tested positive for both Cheyenne and Britney’s DNA the police now realizing that they had in their possession the weapon that Cheyenne used to end Britney’s life this was the evidence they needed to finally

    Try Cheyenne for the murder of her best friend the they arrested Cheyenne in 2017 and questioned her again about Britney’s passing now presenting this new evidence it would take weeks of interrogations to finally break Cheyenne from the solemn silent position that she took she finally confess to her crimes

    Although very Loosely she admitted to ending Britney’s life but due to the substances and alcohol involved she had no recollection of it but police didn’t buy this story as Cheyenne wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to cover up a crime if she didn’t even remember committing it she had messaged Britney after she

    Knew that she was no longer alive she had posted about it on Facebook and had given the police two false stories it was up to the police to prove that everything Cheyenne was saying was a lie when the trial began her defense was insistent on the fact that she had no

    Recollection of ending britne in his life in addition to that the defense asserted that Cheyenne must have lost control and this was due to her history of Mal treatment from her parents saying that she was taking out her rage on Britney the defense wasn’t trying to argue for Cheyenne’s innocent they were

    Arguing that she didn’t plan it beforehand or intend to do it at all she simply committed the Unspeakable crime in a fit of blinding rage the story was that when Cheyenne looped the belt around Britney’s neck she had always intended for Britney to live through this ordeal this was

    Something that the prosecution lacked the evidence to dispute even though the prosecution wanted to prove that Cheyenne had full knowledge of her actions they still didn’t have a solid timeline or any method of establishing a motive they couldn’t prove that the best friend had meant to hurt Britney before

    The argument and in the end the two parties reached a plea deal an agreement on what cheyen had done and how she would be sentenced Cheyenne antoan plad guilty to manslaughter in simple terms she admitted to accidentally ending Britney’s life today we learned uh some details that will help with uh

    Closure uh regarding this incident Britney was a wonderful young person that uh didn’t deserve this and uh we truly deeply miss her every day she was sentenced to just 7 years in prison she will be released in 2024 no matter what cheyen intended she took a brave strong and adventurous life

    From her loving family a pain that we can imagine 7 years will never even begin to cover this is the true story of Ellie Gold a lover of animals a driven young woman someone with a bright future within her grasp but when Young Love appeared in her life things would start

    To change an unimaginable chain of events began to run rvel so what would become of Ellie Ellie Gould who was born on the 6th of February 2002 her family lived in the Wilshire town of khah nestled in a northwest six Downs an area of outstanding natural beauty it’s a

    Small community and a very close one it was the ideal place to bring up children and the ghouls were to all intents and purposes a picture perfect family Ellie was known for her bubbly and smiley personality she had a passion for horse riding and animals and had Ambitions to

    Join the Mounted Police when she started sixth form at the Harden School in Chippenham she quickly made a new set of friends Ellie was likable and put a lot into her friendships the group became close quickly and as the school year progressed it also o got bigger with

    More boys joining the group they’d spend every minute that they could together bonding over teenage things they were just normal happy Carefree teenagers living life to the fullest Ellie and her friends had their whole lives ahead of them in January 2019 Ellie’s mom received the news that every parent dreads Ellie had a

    Boyfriend after school one day Ellie had told her mom that a boy had asked her out she was giggly and shy almost embarrassed what’s he called her mom questioned he was Tom Griffith a boy from Derry Hill he was in her friend’s group at school and was a bright

    Talented Sportsman Ellie and Tom had had an on again off again thing in lower school but they made it official when they entered sixth form this in Ellie’s Ms eyes was a surprising Choice Ellie was just about to start her exams she didn’t think she was interested in a

    Boyfriend right now Ellie’s Dad wasn’t overly keen on Tom because he didn’t say much but the parents assumed this aspect of his character was just down to his age they believed the relationship would just fizzle out and it seemed they were right priorities quickly shifted for Ellie and boyfriend Tom became a less

    Important part of her life she decided to focus more on revision exams and her girlfriends by may she was was ready to end the relationship it was a normal Thursday evening when she ended things afterwards she texted her friends with relief that she finally felt free again

    But little did anyone know her Freedom would be short lived on the 3rd of May 2019 it was a regular Friday morning in Wilshire Carol Ellie’s mom was at work she’d left 17-year-old Ellie eating her cereal at home when she left Ellie would have normally been in school on a Friday

    Morning but she didn’t have any lessons that day so she was staying at home to revise her friend planned to pick her up at around 12:00 she would drive both of them to school for their history class Carol got a phone call from her husband Matt around lunchtime this wasn’t

    Anything out of the ordinary he often finded for a chat but this call was different father Matt was hysterical he said Carrie you you need to come home you need to come home Ellie’s had an accident she’s had an accident just drive carefully Ellie had an accident detective superintendent Jim Taylor was

    A senior investigating officer on the case father Matt had returned home at around 3:00 he had then walked into the kitchen and found Ellie he thought she had had an accident and immediately sought help from a neighbor they called the ambulance and the police who were were faced with a horrific scene

    17-year-old Ellie had passed away she was found faed down in a pool of her own vital fluids there she lay face down with her right arm across her body holding on to the handle of a Sharp Implement to the naked eye it looked as though she’d inflicted her wounds on

    Herself when you consider the nature of her injuries the amount of blood and Ellie’s family circumstances after all she was incredibly loved and happy the police believed there was no way that this injury was self-inflicted Ellie’s distraught parents believed their daughter’s tragic death was just a

    Mishap had she maybe put the knife in a toaster and electrocuted herself and Fallen backwards had she fallen off the cabinet whilst holding the sharp Implement while Ellie’s parents were struggling to come to terms with her passing the police were trying to piece together their own own version of the

    Story a neighbor had seen someone call at the address earlier in the day and whilst they didn’t see their face they did give a description they were male with a slim build the search for the mystery visitor was on it’s uncommon for a homicide to occur inside someone’s

    Home this suggests the perpetrator was likely familiar with a victim the police began to try and connect the darts in Elli’s friend group who if anyone would want to hurt her Ellie’s friend was questioned about the day that she was supposed to pick her friend up and take

    Her to the history class and although she was nervous about being questioned by the police she did her best to answer their questions she’d received the text from Ellie shortly before she was due to pick her up she said that she didn’t need a lift anymore the detective’s

    Questioning soon turned from Ellie to Tom the now exboyfriend the friend said I was screenshotting m messages that Tom had sent and then I looked on Snap maps to see where he was just coincidentally I thought I’ll have a look on Snap maps and it so happened to be that he was

    Still in the area she further explained I think I thought oh gosh Tom’s gone over to convince her that they should be together she thought that Ellie being Ellie would have been blunt with him and said look Tom it’s not happening we’re not getting back together you need to

    Get over it the friend Al also revealed that Tom had messaged everyone on the day of the murder he sent pictures to a group chat where he shared a photo of himself with scratches on his neck he said that he had been hurting himself going through a tough time his friends

    Offered support and urged him to talk to them whenever he felt overwhelmed for the police Ellie’s ex-boyfriend Tom wasn’t just a person of interest he was the person of interest when officers caught up with him he he had injuries to his neck which looked fresh he also

    Wasn’t acting normally but then again he was a teenager who just found out that his ex-girlfriend whom he still loved was dead it didn’t necessarily mean that he was guilty but he was suspicious Tom also matched the description that the neighbor had given he was then deemed as

    A suspect and arrested at the police station Tom continued to deny any involvement in Ellie’s death he explained that on the day of Ellie’s death he’d been dropped off at school by his mom he wasn’t feeling well so he then returned home he had spoken to a neighbor about his stress ill relatives

    And about doing harm to himself and the neighbor then took him back to school he again became very upset and asked to speak to the school nurse he once again explained that he was doing physical harm to himself they then called his mother she came to pick him up from

    School and then took him back home but the evidence the police were gathering was beginning to cast doubts on Tom’s version of events when they analyzed his phone his story just wasn’t adding up at around 10:50 a.m. his phone disconnected from the family router and it didn’t

    Then reconnect until an hour later his location services were activated on his phone and they could see that at 10:53 a.m. he arrived at Ellie’s house didn’t leave again until 11:51 a.m. he’d spent almost exactly an hour inside CCTV footage from a bus company also had dash

    Cam footage of his silver for Fiesta this wasn’t enough to charge him in connection with Ellie’s death but it was enough to show that he was lying about something after he returned home there was an 18-minute Gap where he dropped off the rout again this indicated that

    He’d left his home once again for a short time time a 99-minute walk away from his home address search teams were deployed and quickly found what they were looking for the search teams found a black bin liner inside there were Blood Stained teac cloths napkins and towels they also searched Tom’s home

    Address here they found red vital fluid on a pair of his work trainers when sent to the laboratory all these items came back as a DNA match for Ellie Tom had been C red-handed armed with the damning forensic evidence police charged 17-year-old Thomas Griffith with Ellie G’s murder they had carefully pieced

    Together what had happened that day on the 3rd of May 2019 Tom was dropped off at school by his mother after emailing his teachers to tell them he was feeling unwell he walked to the bus station where he caught a bus back home his mom had also returned home briefly forcing

    Tom to hide in the wardrobe of his bedroom he didn’t want her to know that he was absent from school when his mother left he took the keys to the family car and drove to Ellie’s house following an argument Tom attempted to throttle Ellie he then used a sharp

    Implement to ATT taken from the family kitchen and jabbed her in the neck 13 times Tom had spent an hour at the house attempting to clean up the crime scene he washed his trainers in the kitchen sink and cleaned the knife using an apron before then placing it in Ellie’s

    Hand he used her finger to unlock her phone posing as her he then sent a text message to her friend telling her not to pick her up he went home to change put his clothes in the washing machine and then dumped the bag of evidence in a local Woodland a neighbor saw him

    Returning from the woodlands and drove him back to the school there he was collected by his mom after speaking to the nurse during his his Hearing in August Tom pleaded guilty to Ellie’s murder however in his defense case statement he gave a new version of events for the day that she passed Tom

    Said that he drove the car to ‘s house and they intended to study after studying for a while they began to argue about family members and at that point Tom claimed to have suffered from Amnesia he said he remembered throttling Ellie but he then lost his memory he

    Came too belli was lying next to him in a pool of her own blood this story seemed unlikely blind rage can lead to forgetting but in this case Tom had used Ellie’s fingerprint to send a final text message this wasn’t blind rage and it certainly wasn’t Amnesia it was an

    Excuse for a cold and calculated plan Tom pleaded guilty to Ellie’s murder meaning that the case would not go to trial on the 8th of November 20 9 at the Bristol Crown Court Ellie’s family came face to face with the boy who had gone from boyfriend to killer he kept his

    Head down and wouldn’t look up at anyone and although he was within weeks of being an adult he was sentenced as a child because he had no previous convictions he was sentenced to life but with a tariff of just 12 and a half years a lenient sentence that devastated

    Ellie’s family friends and and the community this is the true story of Louise Smith a young woman that was entering the adult world and that hadn’t had the easiest start in life in tough times it can be hard to know who to trust so when Louise left the house one

    Day but never came back where would the police even begin to look what had become of Louise Louise Smith was pretty much like any other 16-year-old girl she loved animals and being outdoors she was studying to become a veterinarian she was a smiley bubbly person who loved her

    Family but she also had her struggles Louise was battling with depression and anxiety social workers had monitored Louise for some time and they had put her on a child in need plan this was due to the constant risk of domestic maltreatment and neglect she was B but she was also impressionable and

    Vulnerable she often had arguments with her mother over her desire for more Independence after falling out with her mother she had been living with her cousin also known as CJ and her husband Shane in the Lee Park area of herant they were younger than her mom both 29

    Years old but they were old enough to be responsible for her and initially it was a good fit she called them her aunt and uncle and they got on well for a 16-year-old that desperately wanted Independence this might just be the perfect solution but unfortunately the perfect solution didn’t stay perfect for

    Long on May the 7th 2020 Louise heard had enough the United Kingdom was under lockdown due to the pandemic so Louise was unable to live the independent lifestyle that she so desired she texted her friends saying that she needed to leave her aunt and uncle’s home she described the couple as vile and

    Explained that they treated her like a child she also alleged that Shane had acted in appropriately she felt he was attempting to flirt with her on several occasions this made her uncomfortable and she didn’t know how to handle him she recorded Shane on her mobile phone

    As evidence to send to her friends in the video he can be seen tickling her feet so enough was enough and Louise decided yet again to leave leave her home still not on talking terms with her mom she turned to her friend Samantha bird she explained the situation to

    Samantha she then offered Louise a place to stay and even said that she would allow her boyfriend Bradley to live with her too this proposition seemed appealing to both Louise and Bradley and it was almost a done deal when CJ learned of this she reached out to

    Louise to make amends she was incredibly persistent CJ attempted to make contact with Louise over 50 times and eventually she gave in Louise CJ and Shane managed to talk it through they resolved the situation and Louise decided to stay with everything sorted they decided to celebrate with a drink Louise and Shane

    Went to the local shops Shane bought the alcohol and the two walked back to the house together Louise began drinking she wasn’t in the best mindset she desperately wanted a friend to stay with her that night So eventually her boyfriend Bradley went to the flat he couldn’t stay over but he chatted with

    Louise CJ and Shane for a little while there was some discussions about Louise disliking the way Shane was speaking to her saying he was actually flirting it was relatively light-hearted and Bradley wasn’t concerned when he decided to leave he made plans to meet Louise the next day at around 300 p.m. hopefully

    The hangover wouldn’t be too bad later that night she messaged some of her friends saying that she was so drunk that she’ passed out she also contacted a mental health helpline Louise told a person that she was struggling with the lockdown and that she was thinking of

    Doing harm to herself at some point after 3:00 a.m. she finally managed to fall asleep the next day Friday the 8th of May 2020 was V Day in the UK it was also in the middle of a nationwide lockdown there wasn’t much going on for anyone when 300 p.m. came around Bradley

    Made his way over to CJ and Shane’s house to meet Louise when he arrived he was greeted by CJ CJ told him that Louise had gone out for the day but had not yet returned Bradley pulled out his mobile phone and made several attempts to contact Louise but he had no luck at

    Around 400 p.m. Shane returned home Bradley then asked him if he had seen Louise anywhere on his way he had seen Louise only a few hours before Shane explained that he had walked with Louise to a park before leaving her to go and visit his mother he said that she had

    Gone to see some of her friends but that he hadn’t heard or seen from her since Bradley began to worry over the next few hours he tried relentlessly to get in touch with her however she was unable to be contacted everyone close to her knew of her current mental state they knew

    That she had been struggling with her Mental Health they were growing worried about what she may have done by that point Louise was pass her 6 p.m. curfew that was imposed by her aunt at 6:32 p.m. CJ made a call to the emergency services to report Louise as missing a

    Search was soon underway to find her as a 16-year-old girl the police knew that the best way to find her would be through her mobile phone Louise’s phone records told a somber story The last contact Louise had made was with a friend via Snapchat at around 12:50 p.m.

    The phone calls that Bradley made were picked up by multiple phone masks these covered the havant thicket area however at around 400 p.m. her iPhone died and disconnected from the mobile phone network they knew that her phone hadn’t left the area but it was also unusual for Louise to let the battery completely

    Die the police turned to those who had seen her last both Shane and CJ were questioned and asked where they had last seen Louise but strangely Shane changed the story that he had told CJ and Bradley instead of telling them he’d walk Louise to the park he told the

    Police that he walked to Tesco with Louise on the 8th of May before she then left to see some friends this was a small change but one that the police picked up on if one small detail can change maybe the entire story will follow suit the police also learned

    Louise was thinking of moving out and that CJ was Keen to make her stay they also discovered that Shane had been flirting and acting inappropriately towards Louise these facts along with Shane’s story that didn’t add up made the police incredibly suspicious of the couple as the search continued police

    Revisited the house several times each time Shane Mae barely had a word to say to the police officers he told them that he and Louise got got on well he also made another comment strangely asking police if he could lock Louise in a bedroom if she returned on another

    Occasion he told officers that he had searched a number of places for the teenager he also claimed on win instance that after he had walked to Tesco with Louise he then watched her walk away up near Billy Lawn Avenue he walked police along the Route he claimed to have

    Walked he and the police were all picked up on CCTV doing this but on footage from the 8th of May he was not seen on a CCTV with Louise walking this same route this raised the question for the police why would he lie what was he hiding on

    The 15th of May 2020 the couple were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping Louise’s family and friends remained hopeful that she would return but unfortunately this wasn’t the case on the 21st of May 2020 at 11:45 a.m. a body was found by search teams about 40

    M off the track in the woods the body had been torched it was barely recognizable as a result of the injuries sustained injuries which included repeated heavy blows to the Head the body was confirmed to be Louise upon Discovery several sticks were found piled on top of Louise’s body this was

    Said to have been done in an attempt to fuel a fire a lighter was also found at the scene in total there were 19 separate injuries to Louise a pathologist was unable to conclude which of them was fatal this was no longer a missing person or even a kidnap this was

    Murder the police theorized that Shane had led Louise into the wooded area and he had then attempted to force himself on her but when this didn’t work and Louise began to scream he attacked her to stop her from making any further noise he then defiled her body and

    Started the fire with no evidence linking CJ to the crime she was released her hearing was held on July the 15th at Winchester Crown Court Shane pleaded not guilty to the murder of Louise at his trial which was set after his plea however on the first day of the trial on

    November the 17th 2020 Shane admitted to killing her but claimed it was an accident and he pleaded guilty to manslaughter instead of murder the prosecution team gave a detailed account of Louise’s injuries they also showed CCTV footage of Shane leaving the crime scene DNA evidence belonging to Shane

    Was found on a stick which he had inserted into Louise on the stand Shane claimed that Louise had asked him to go there with her for a conversation and that they made their way into the wooded area where they began to argue he alleges she picked up a big stick and

    Hit him on the side he said this hurt so he grabbed it off of her and threw it on the floor he then struck her in the face repeatedly Shane explains that she fell to the ground on the second punch and that he then couldn’t stop himself when

    She was on the ground punches continued to rain down he couldn’t say how many times he struck her but he said he heard her bones crack he says that when he walked way he could still hear her moaning claiming she was still alive Shane denied that he intended to end

    Louise he tried to push the idea that he’ simply lost control when questioned as to why he created a hole in Louise’s stomach and then inserted a stick inside and then set her on fire he claimed that he did no such thing his defense claimed that somebody else must have come along

    And done these things to the body when asked why he lied to to the police Shane claimed that he had not intended to purposely lie about what had happened he believed at the time that what he was saying was true and that he simply didn’t remember correctly Shane has an

    IQ of 63 he’s in the 0.1 bottom percentile for memory range this mounted part of his defense just a quick note for me his IQ is less than that of a dolphin but on we go thankfully the jury saw through this defense the prosecution team highlighted the savagery of the

    Attack and told the jury even when he saw the blood and heard the cracks he carried on the shattering of her facial Bones the total separation of the Jawbone from her facial skull Shane Mae was found guilty of murder he gave little reaction as he found out the news

    In a victim statement Louise’s mother described her daughter as strong willed happy and smiley who had the whole world to look forward to when speaking to Shane in court she said you killed her in such a traumatic way and what you did afterwards is beyond words you damaged

    Her so badly I didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye to hold her hand or even kiss her Shane was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 25 years in January of 2021 a solicitor referred the sentence to the Crown Court of Appeals this solicitor considered the

    Sentence to be far too low sadly this appeal was rejected some people and some cases are like a strange slowmotion car crash Unsure how those involved can’t see that disaster is already in motion this is very much one of those cases the true story of Lucy MC Lucy McHugh was a normal 12-year-old

    Girl from Southampton England she lived with her mom Stacy and her mom’s partner Richard she was bright bubbly intelligent and always eager to learn her family called her brains because she was so switched on Lucy who went to Redbridge Community School loved playing with the babies in her family she had

    Her heart set on becoming a pro bono lawyer in the US aiming to help people who could not afford to help themselves her school teacher said that at one stage she wanted to be a mechanic then a fashion designer but in the end she decided she wanted to study law no one

    Had any doubt in their mind that she would achieve it because she was just Lucy in May 2017 everything changed for Lucy stepdad Richard’s friend Steven was facing the prospect of being made homeless so Richard did what any good friend may do and invited Steven to live with them

    Stacy and Lucy in Southampton Stacy put in a good word at the care home where she worked and got Steven a job there it was an opportunity for him to have a fresh start and really turn his life around up until this point life had been

    Kind of hard for Steven he had spent a large part of his childhood in care and at the age of 14 he was sentenced to 2 years in a young offenders Institute during his time in the young offenders Institute for his crime Steven along with two other inmates barricaded

    Themselves in the survery before causing thousands of pounds worth of damage and attacking staff with sharp kitchen implements in adulthood Steven struggled to find a purpose he became obsessed with reptiles and Tattoos he owned several snakes and while he was not a tattoo artist he would provide a

    Tattooing service to anyone looking for a cut price tattoo Steven was covered in artwork himself a slight or skinny man he made up for his lack of stature with his arguably impressive array of artwork including a tattoo of the word Freedom across his forehead this made him a

    Curiosity to 12-year-old Lucy Steven was 23 a grown man with an impressive collection of reptiles it’s easy to see how he may have captured the attention of someone her age Lucy quickly developed a crush on Steven A crush that Steven disturbingly did little to diminish instead of rebuffing her

    Keeping his distance or indeed moving out Steven encouraged Lucy and sadly exploited her interest in him to him she was available in the same house even in the bedroom opposite his and he took full criminal sick Advantage notes written by Lucy told the full story of their relationship ship Hearts felt and

    Explicit the notes give details of the loss of her virginity to Steven in May 2017 the very same month he moved into her house the notes described the repeated intercourse between them which followed And the emotions which Lucy experienced throughout obviously we know that this wasn’t a relationship it was

    Simply in one note Lucy tells Nicholson that whatever this between them has to end but it did not unbeknownst to her parents Lucy was used by Steven from the moment he set foot in a family home her stepfather’s best friend was grooming her from the very moment he was able to

    Get close enough over the course of 14 months Lucy became a shadow of her former self in Lucy’s young and immature eyes she was in a relationship Steven was her boyfriend and she made no secret of this to her friends hearing reports from other pupils Lucy’s teachers were naturally concerned although Lucy denied

    Any intimate relationship to her teachers they immediately did the right thing referring their concerns to the local multi- agency safeguarding hub first of all in 2017 and then again after Lucy had moved to a different School in 2018 on both occasions a team had investigated and found nothing to be concerned about no

    Action was taken by May 2018 Lucy told her cousin that her relationship with Steven had now become a terrible burden he was violent and she was scared of him Lucy and Steven were often arguing in the house and while Lucy’s mother and stepfather were aware of the fights they

    Put it down to teenage angst the pair just didn’t get on is what they told themselves giv given her age it was normal to be withdrawn or secretive right in this case wrong eventually the arguments were too hard to ignore and Lucy’s stepfather asked Steven Nicholson to leave something wasn’t right and he

    Knew it on the day Steven moved out Lucy told Richard that he had something she needed to tell him and her mother later that night but Stacy didn’t return home until Lucy had gone to sleep the moment had passed a couple of days after moving out Steven left work early he claimed to

    Be suffering from sickness and diarrhea working in a care home that looked after the elderly Steven knew that he would not be allowed back to work until 48 hours after the last symptoms had presented themselves but Steven wasn’t actually ill he was simply buying himself time on Wednesday the 25th of

    July 2018 Lucy left her house at 9:00 a.m. a CCTV camera at the local Tesco shows Lucy walking across the car park at 9:30 a.m. just half an hour after she left home in a white top and camouflage leggings she had no phone but she can be seen walking purposefully glancing down

    At her watch she didn’t want to be late to wherever it was she was going a woman walking her dog in the sports center grounds around 10:00 a.m. recalled seeing a girl matching Lucy’s description heading towards the top of the cricket pitch but Lucy never made it

    Home when she wasn’t home later that evening her parents began to worry they phoned the police who launched a missing person’s investigation and the next morning Steven comforted Stacy and Richard they were obviously growing increasingly concerned for their missing daughter Steven sent a text message to

    Stacy saying I hope they find her safe police are good at their job and they will find her soon keep your chin up and stay positive but the police would not find Lucy safe and well just hours later her body was discovered Lucy describes the hering moment she was informed of her

    Daughter’s death I felt the blood turn to ice inside my veins the room began to spin and I had the sudden urge to vomit I dashed from the room feeling like my whole world was about to implode I couldn’t breathe on the 26th of July 2018 a dog walker found Lucy’s body at

    The Southampton Outdoor Sports Center she had been attacked with a sharp Implement until she was no longer breathing the police didn’t wait around Steven was arrested on suspicion of her murder the day after the body had been found his arrest sparked one of the biggest evidence searches in UK criminal

    History they trolled through thousands of hours of CCTV footage in the local area all to piece together his movements in the day before on Tuesday the 24th of July he founded in sick to work he told the office that he had sickness and diarrhea he knew that it was company

    Policy for carers to remain off of 48 hours after the last symptoms are passed but Nicholson was not sick at least not in that meaning of the word that afternoon he cycled up to the flat of an elderly man whom he knew in Ken Court a home situated right beside the sports

    Center where Lucy was found he was there for around 3 hours there he ordered a pair of new Trainers for delivery first thing the next morning that evening he messaged Lucy on Facebook Messenger but he deleted the messages soon after reading them we’ll never find out what

    Those final messages read at 8:15 a.m. on Wednesday Nicholson cycled from his mother’s home to the flat at keron court arriving at 830 a.m. at around 9:00 a.m. he took a trip to the nearby tescar Express he then met Lucy at the sports center CCTV unfortunately fell short

    Here but the police strongly suspected that Nicholson took her into the woods to the side of the top Cricket pitch Lucy told Steven that she was pregnant and the baby was his we can assume this was the given reason for the meeting and there deep in the foliage off of the

    Beaten path he attacked her she was found with 27 markings to her body most to the face and neck the pathologist noticed that Lucy had some stab wounds on her arms and wrists these could have been defensive wounds as if she was desperately trying to protect herself

    There was one unusual ins sized wound right across her wrist as if the murderer had initially tried to make it look as if Lucy had done this to herself damage to the koted artery led to sudden high pressure blood loss then unconsciousness and very soon after that

    Her demise after he had ended her Nicholson returned to the flat URS on court before cycling home during questioning Steven admitted to detectives that he had corresponded with Lucy via Facebook Messenger when police attempted to gain access to his Facebook account it became apparent that he changed the passwords in the day prior

    To his arrest he refused to hand over his new password officers were now at a loss there was no DNA evidence at this point and they could only hold him for 96 hours without charging him they turned to a piece of legislation often used when dealing with terrorists

    Section 53 of the regulation of investigatory Powers Act or Ripper as it’s commonly known Steven was bailed in relation to Lucy’s murder but charged again under Ripper for failing to hand over his Facebook password he then went to trial at Southampton Crown Court where he was sentenced to 14 months in

    Prison for not handing over his password this sentence B police the time they needed to continue their investigation Steven had been very careful to cover his tracks the police knew that they had their man but there was no physical evidence or DNA linking him to the scene

    The police turned to a cloud data analyst to study the location of Steven’s phone on the morning of luc’s death they didn’t have the physical phone this too had strangely disappeared before his arrest but they didn’t need it they were able to pull location data from the cloud this investigation showed

    Steven had been in a vicinity where Lucy’s body had been discovered this was obviously exactly what they expected it also showed that he deviated from the most direct route back to his house stopping off at Tanner’s Brook on his way home police immediately launched a fingertip search of the area there they

    Found a bag of partially burnt clothing including a blood soaked hoodie it contained Stevens and Lucy DNA they knew they finally had the evidence to charge their man on the 18th of July 2019 Steven was found guilty of Lucy’s murder as well as three counts of violating her the judge didn’t hold back

    As she delivered the sentence she was a 13-year-old child your selfishness and savagery have blighted her family’s lives forever the sentence is wor of life in prison Steven was sentenced to life imprisonment and told he would serve a minimum of 33 years behind bars he was also given 17-year concurrent

    Prison sentences for each of the violation charges that he faced it’s unlikely he will ever see Freedom again in life sometimes we can do all the right things but we’re not rewarded for our actions and sadly sometimes were even punished it is hard to conjure up reasons for bad things happening to good

    People and the actions of an evil few leave us scratching our heads asking the question why this is the true story of Sasha masden Sasha mden was a 16-year-old student seeking a career in child care at defiled College it takes a very specific kind of person to be drawn

    Towards caring for children children when that is nurturing patient kind and empathetic these are all words that can be easily used to describe Sasha Sasha came from a loving family in Blackpool she was born to Jane and Gary mden alongside sisters Gemma and Katie Sasha was described as an attractive bright

    Young woman someone with the prospect of a promising future ahead of her her older sister Gemma described her as cheeky and caring saying that Sasha was attached to her all the time as gemma’s little sister unfortunately though Sasha’s past had changed her significantly After experiencing an

    Assault when she was just 14 the trauma she endured had caused her to struggle greatly as she aged she frequently ran away and struggled in school fighting to deal with the pain that she had endured and the lack of accountability that ter attacker had received despite these

    Struggles Sasha truly wanted to make a difference in the world showing her true colors on her quest to become a caregiver and educator this is why she enrolled in the filed College to make a better life for herself refusing to let her as salant have any more power over

    Her life for those of you outside of the UK Blackpool is a Seaside town that act as a famous vacation spot in Lancashire England it is the stagen hen party capital of the UK in summer it thrives on tourism people love to visit its beautiful beaches the tower the zoo and

    The gardens and it’s even been voted as a UK’s favorite seaside resort but unfortunately Blackpool is not only home to Sunshine and smiles in the winter it cuts a starer shape Sasha mdom was hard at work on her College studies managing her time enough to where she began

    Looking for a job to make some extra money unfortunately Ely for her it was wintertime in a town that thrived on the Summer sun businesses were slowing down and were reluctant to hire luckily though she had met a man through a mutual friend and he gave her the

    Prospect of a job the man was named David MTO a 23-year-old Barman and groundskeeper MTO worked for the Grafton House Hotel the hotel was a quaint getaway owned by mto’s girlfriend and her mother upon meeting with Sasha he decided she would be perfect for the job

    She could work for their hotel as a cleaner during the winter months this is because his girlfriend Rachel would be away working at another job MTO messaged her through Facebook he was offering her the position and invited her to come over the following day so he could show

    Her the ropes Sasha excitedly agreed to the employment opportunity it didn’t seem too strange to Sasha when David MTO replied will it just be you because I get a bit nervous around new people she calmed mto’s mind and made plans to visit the hotel the following day David

    And Sasha had agreed that her first official day of work would be January the 31st so on that day in 2013 Sasha’s father Gary drove her to a shoe store near the Grafton House Hotel Sasha told him that she would send him a message when she was ready to be picked

    Up Gary returned home to his wife and the family continued their day as normal he was however prepared to pick up Sasha when they received her message but by the time 8 p.m. rolled around her parents became extremely worried they had called her and texted her to check

    On her status but had heard nothing back instead of panicking they decided to call Sasha’s boyfriend Dany it was possible that he had gone to pick her up instead but Dany hadn’t seen or heard from her either we can only imagine this causing an ominous feeling in the pit of

    Their stomachs Sasha’s parents decided that they needed to find the hotel that Sasha was working at fortunately boyfriend Dany knew Sasha’s Facebook password and this was a method of communication between Sasha and David MTO the man who was now her boss they quickly found the name of the hotel and

    Hopped in the car to pay a visit upon arriving at the hotel they walked inside to find David MTO at the front desk knowing that he was the man that hired Sasha they asked him if Sasha was ready to come home yet but to their surprise David explained that Sasha had already

    Gone home for the night this was a great cause for concern Sasha had no way of getting home without either her parents or Dany giving her a lift even though she had disappeared before in the past things seem different now they thought that part of of her life was over hours

    Would go by without any news and when 11:00 p.m. rolled around Jane and Gary mden knew that something had to be wrong it was time to report Sasha missing to the police the investigators that spoke with Sasha’s parents were diligent in taking down Sasha’s description and last known whereabouts when they had received

    The relevant information including the fact that Sasha was working at the Grafton House Hotel the investigator couldn’t ignore the possible connection that Sasha could have to a case they had received just hours earlier a neighbor of the hotel had discovered a fire in the alleyway behind the Grafton House

    Hotel this was after it caused his smoke alarms to go off the neighborhood recalled a man and woman coming out of the hotel to view the commotion with the man saying that it was a mannequin that had been set a blaze this man was David MTO and the woman was his girlfriend

    Rachel Butterworth during the neighbor’s attempt to put out the fire it had become increasingly clear that this was not a plastic person but a real one they were wrapped in rubbish bags carpeting scraps and bedding there was no way to visually identify the body due to the

    State that it was found in police investigators had to find another way using Sasha’s toothbrush they were able to match her DNA to that of the body that had been found in the alleyway just just hours before she had been terribly assaulted receiving 58 wounds to her

    Neck and head made with a sharp implement the only man that had any sort of connection to Sasha was David MTO the man that had hired her because of this David and girlfriend Rachel were both arrested for Sasha’s attack before they question the two suspects police had done a thorough investigation of the

    Hotel and the alleyway they had found a huge amount of of sash’s DNA namely in the form of blood vital fluids were in the alleyway Hotel halls and bathtub DNA had also been found on a knife Inside the Hotel one that would later be determined to be the sharp Implement

    That was used in Sasha’s attack in addition to this investigators found Sasha’s clothes purse and phone inside the hotel upon questioning Rachel denied knowing anything about the occurrences from that night she said said she had arrived at the hotel at around 900 p.m. smelling a strong odor of bleach in the

    Air David said that he had cut himself and got it on the carpet he had then used bleach to clean it efficiently Rachel had no clue that David was talking to Sasha or that he had hired her or invited her to the hotel that day in fact David had no authority to employ

    Anyone or pay them having absolutely no say in the business or any access to the bank account the police believed Rachel’s story they released her from custody and turned their focus to David MTO the evidence against David was overwhelming but his confession would seal it all in place despite the cards

    That were stacked against him David aggressively denied any involvement in Sasha’s passing his story went as follows Sasha had arrived at the hotel to complete her first day of cleaning while she was there she made aggressive intimate advances towards him this almost forced him into an intimately charged situation he finally succumb to

    Her advances and then he had consensual relations on the floor of one of the hotel rooms he said that she suffered a nose bed during the event this is how he explained the red fluid they had found inside of the hotel he stuck to the notion that this was the last time that

    He saw her and at that time she was alive and well even though the investigators couldn’t gain a confession they still felt confident enough to charge David MTO with ferociously ending Sasha’s life police described it as one of the most horrendous scenes they have ever investigated as they prepared for the

    Trial the evidence against David only continued to accumulate CCTV footage had shown Sasha entering the hotel along with David MTO but she was never seen leaving and even if she had had left why would she leave her clothes her phone and her purse behind in addition the investigators had gone through Sasha’s

    Phone there they found two drafted but unsent text messages the first was drafted at 458 and said pick me up at Madam two swords this is a wax figure museum nearby to the Hotel this message was sent to her boyfriend’s father this was unusual as Sasha was aware of the

    Fact that he was currently out of town the second drafted at 459 was for Dany which read I love you tell Dad to pick me up from Madam two swords this was equally as strange as there was no previous text messages between the couple in fact they almost never

    Communicated through text messages at all it was quickly deduced that Sasha did not write these messages at all they had been written by her attacker Not only was the hotel slow in the winter months it was completely closed down for renovations this meant that the fact

    That David even hid saser at all without the owner’s knowledge was completely nonsensical and at the very least suspicious on July the 15th 2013 David mto’s trial began the prosecution aggressively asserted their version of events when Sasha rejected mto’s advances he flew into a frenzied rage he defiled Sasha’s body and then

    Started Ed the fire as for the defense David’s story had changed since his discussion with the police his new story asserted that although they did have consensual relations at the hotel that night that she had in fact passed away inside the hotel after their intimate encounter in the hotel room he said they

    Had gone their separate ways Sasha was to go home and David was to finish cleaning up a short time later David had discovered Sasha’s body in a hotel corridor saying he found her maimed and defiled from an attack by an anonymous Intruder and then in a State of Shock

    And confusion he moved the body to the back Alleyway behind the hotel he did this because the sight of her made him queasy the defense asserted that the real attacker was still out there roaming the streets whilst the prosecution was pursuing an innocent bystander the prosecution ignored these accusations confidently presenting the

    Overwhelming evidence against MTO and hoping that this was enough 11 days later it was time for the jury to deliberate it only took 3 hours for the members of the jury to arrive at a unanimous decision they found David Minto guilty for everything he had done

    To Sasha masden he was sentenced to a minimum of 35 years in prison and the judge had plenty of choice words for him saying that his deeds were ferocious and SU ained and that there was no sense of humanity within him Sasha’s family is doing everything in their power to

    Ensure that David MTO never sees the light of day again Sasha’s sister Katie is ready to fight as hard as she can to make sure that MTO stays in prison forever saying he will be 57 when he gets out we believe he will do this to someone again he’s got no remorse and

    Was not sorry in court he took selfies on his phone while Sasha’s body was there this is the true story of Alexis shaki an incredibly driven popular and intelligent young influencer someone that had a life full of money beaches and Good Times ahead of her so when she mysteriously stopped replying to

    Messages and Witney stories weren’t quite adding up where would her friends family and the police even begin to look what had become of Alexis Alexis robol was born in Warren Pennsylvania on January the 25th 1994 even as a child she could light up her room with her smile when she laughed

    She had a way of making everyone feel like they were in on the joke despite growing up in a small town everyone knew that Alexis was always destined for bigger things she wanted to travel see the world and experience new things she always talked about getting out of that

    Small town after graduating from high school Alexis went on to study biology and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh she was considering going to medical school but she was apprehensive by going to medical school starting her career and planting her roots in one area she worried she could be settling

    Down for life after graduating she decided to spend the next few years checking things off of her bucket list she carefully curated her Instagram fee to Showcase her adventures she gained a lot of attention and fell into becoming an influencer she moved to Texas and worked as a bartender at Twin Peaks this

    Was to support herself while she traveled and explored new places here she met her future husband Tom shaki 23 years her senior the two had him immediate chemistry Tom worked as a consultant in the oil field and he would often travel around the country for work

    But whenever he was in Odessa he would stop into the Twin Peaks to see Alexis he seemed like a nice guy and the two hit it off Alexis and Tom got married in 2019 and eventually moved to Houston Texas Tom had friends in the area but Alexis hardly knew anyone she worked

    From home as an influencer so she download Ed Bumble as a way to meet new friends through the app she met Tanya Ricardo and they hit it off immediately Tanya introduced Alexis to her group of friends and within just a couple of weeks Alexis had formed another close-knit circle of friends she took

    Her friendship seriously and always made it a point to spend time with people outside of her relationships Thanksgiving 20120 was no different Alexis spent Thanksgiving with Tanya and her family a away from Tom they played board games and ate all day with everyone in High Spirits then at around

    Midnight another friend picked up Alexis and they went out to a bar they parted the night or the morning away until 3:00 a.m. Alexis then returned to Tanya’s house to pick up her car and drive back to her apartment the next day was Black Friday and as an influencer Alexis was

    In for a busy day it was one of the biggest sales days of the year and there for it was a big money-making opportunity for her when Alexis hadn’t answered Tanya’s calls that morning that’s what she put it down to she thought she was busy creating content

    And making sales but by midday her social media was still dark with her not posting to her feed or story at all this wasn’t like her on a normal day let alone on one of the busiest days of the year she also wasn’t responding to messages in the group chat this wasn’t

    Like a Alexis at all her life was social media so her phone was her life her friends were starting to worry but these worries were appeased when Alexis text the group chat at 5:30 p.m. she ignored the previous messages that had been sent all day and asked if anyone wanted to go

    Out that night it was the holiday so no one could really meet up but the group agreed to hang out the next day and have a chilled Girls Night in little did they know that this text would be the last time they would hear from Alexis when Alexis stopped responding to their

    Messages her friends immediately began to worry and so too did Tom Alexis husband Tom sent a text message to one of Alexis’s friend’s boyfriends a man named John he asked him if he had heard from her Tom claimed that he and Alexis had gotten into a big argument he said

    It resulted in Alexis hopping over the patio fence jumping into a waiting car and driving off with the occupants John immediately called Tom but something felt off when explaining what had happened Tom went over everything he had done that day detailing things that didn’t really matter instead of focusing

    On finding Alexis the call lasted for 45 minutes and immediately after johon told his girlfriend that something was very wrong Tom went on to call other friends of Alexis telling them different stories about what had happened that night to some he claimed that Alexis and he

    Didn’t get into a fight rather she had just got mad at him and stormed off out of the house Barefoot she then jumped into a small black car and drove off but when asked how she would go off into the middle of the night without shoes he

    Then said it was possible that she was wearing shoes but he just didn’t notice he claimed that Alexis had also left without her phone but when he spoke to other people he told them that he attracted using the find my phone application by the next morning he had

    Called and spoken with multiple people including Alexis’s mom he told very differing stories about what had happened as Alexis’s friends got up they became increasingly worried Tanya went over to Tom and Alexis’s apartment but found that no one was there together with Alexis’s mom she filed a police report her friends immediately jumped

    Into action creating posters hashtags and Instagram posts spreading awareness about Alexis being missing on November the 28th at around 8:30 a.m. something caught the eye of a sanitation worker employed by the city it looked like a mannequin abandoned at the side of the road but something didn’t sit right with

    Him he phoned his boss for help saying that he wasn’t sure what he was looking at in reality he was looking at the body of Alexis shark her body was completely clean as if she’d been ended coming out of the shower or bath and she was placed on the

    Side of the road posed in a degrading manner whoever took the life of Alexis wanted to treat her like garbage like an object they removed all clothes and left her in a very public road just 3 miles from her apartment she was there to be seen by as many people as possible maybe

    People that she knew this was no accident this was personal despite the fact that her body had no visible injuries her family and friends were certain that someone had done this to her it was just a feeling but it was correct on January the 19th 2021 over a month since Alexis passed it

    Was revealed that an autopsy ruled Alexis’s cause of death was strangulation her passing was ruled as a homicide it was also publicized that Tom was listed as Alexis next of kin he was the only person who her body could be released to but he had left her body in

    The morg for 2 months and never bothered to claim it just to note for me I really hate this leaving someone alone cold and dark even though it’s just the physical form and not necessarily the person it just really hits me these aren’t nice places after after Alexis was found Tom

    Had agreed with her mother that they should have a memorial service in Pennsylvania with her family he said he would get the body and pay for a burial that is until he stopped speaking to the family full stop Tom claimed that he felt disrespected by them in response he

    Flat out refused to pick up Alexis’s remains this left the family powerless and unable to lay their beloved Alexis to rest as the police de delve deeper into Alexis and Tom’s relationship alarm Bells began to ring the relationship wasn’t as picture perfect as it first appeared friends told the police that

    After a year of marriage Alexis had wanted to get a divorce she opened up about how Tom had been maltreating her how he would throttle her until she passed out whenever they fought she claimed that this had happened multiple times over the years and despite Tom’s promises to stop the Mal treatment had

    Only gotten worse just to note from me these people will never stop and they will never change almost without fail their behavior will get worse and worse and more extreme until we reach a situation like this be careful make a plan and get out Alexis also showed her

    Friends the messages that Tom had been sending her while she was on a trip in these messages he had called her a derogatory term he accused her of having a with other men and expressed his General hatred towards her it was also revealed that Alexis had begun to flirt

    And talk with another man outside of their relationship according to friends Alexis had met this man whilst on a trip to Mexico she wasn’t planning on it but they had simply hit it off she told him that she was in the middle of a divorce she didn’t want to start anything before

    Her marriage was ended but he had been the friend who she went to bars with on thanks giving could this have been the Catalyst for the events that led to her untimely end Tom gave multiple interviews stating that Alexis wasn’t the nice happy person that people believed but instead she was dealing

    With a lot of personal demons he claimed that she was stressed 24/7 and hated her life he said that he was the only person that she could be herself around Tom said that her friends and family didn’t know the real Alexis claiming that she had carefully crafted the perfect

    Version of herself in front of others Tom had been asked to give a sample of his DNA to the detectives on the case in order to rule him out he agreed that he would give a small sample at the time but before he did he said he needed to

    Talk to his lawyer instead he moved to Georgia the behavior of an innocent man obviously eventually the police were able to track him down and arrange for them to meet only for Tom to once again leave the state he came up with a very bizarre story later on why he

    Essentially disappeared and then a short time after that incident he relocated again to Florida progress on the case was slow as the police continued to pursue Tom that was until September the 29th 2021 when Houston Police got an arrest warrant signed they finally had enough

    To bring him in for the murder of his wife because of the high profile nature of the case and because he had been evasive with the police throughout they went very quietly about obtaining the arrest warrant after determining that he was living in Florida with his daughter

    They prepared to take him in however things wouldn’t go as planned not by a long shot the task force of US Marshals located Tom at the residence of his daughter in Fort Meyers they were able to make contact and establish that he was inside the residence but when they

    Announced arrival things took a turn Tom wasn’t ready to face the consequences of his actions when he learned that L enforcement was there for him he ran upstairs before police could do anything at all he took his own life using a firearm he passed on the scene I would like to emphasize that

    This has been a very tragic series of events for both families the robol and the Sharkies uh they’ve been through hell essentially with the attention of the public on this case um I want to put out there that no one else is suspected of any involvement in

    9-year-old girl someone that hadn’t yet experienced much of what the world had had to offer and sadly she never would when a friend lured her into the woods one day promising to show her something new and exciting why did only one of them walk back out what would become of

    Elizabeth Elizabeth Alton was born on December the 15th 1999 she was the baby of the family the youngest of her two siblings Anthony and Stephanie she was the apple of her mother Patty’s eye the family lived in St Martin’s Missouri a small town with just over 1,000 people everyone knew

    Everyone and everyone loved Elizabeth she loved all things theater and Performing and at just 9 years old had been cast in the big school play she was excited and was throwing herself into it wholeheartedly she practiced her lines every day with anyone that would read with her she would even practice her

    Songs as she walked around town she really did have her whole life ahead of her October the 21st 2009 was a typical Wednesday Elizabeth and her siblings were back from school and dinner was in the oven there was chatter and laughter and no sign of anything UN about the

    Evening it was just a normal Wednesday just after 5:00 p.m. there was a knock at the door mother Patty answered she opened the door to 6-year-old Emma one of Elizabeth’s friends she asked if Elizabeth could come out and play with her mother Patty said no it was a school

    Night and dinner was almost ready but the girls were Relentless with their Persuasions they pleaded They begged and they jumped up and down Patty knew she didn’t stand a chance Patty told Elizabeth she had 1 hour and no more she wanted her home by 6:15 p.m. the girls

    Ran off happily and Patty went back to making dinner 6:15 p.m. M came and went but Elizabeth hadn’t returned friend Emma lived just four houses away and she was conscientious she didn’t push boundaries when Elizabeth still hadn’t come home by 6:30 p.m. Patty started to worry Patty called her phone but it went

    Straight to voicemail she then rang Emma’s grandmother Karen who Emma and her siblings lived with Karen said she hadn’t seen Elizabeth either in fact in fact she had no idea that Emma had even knocked at her door that afternoon at all the sun was setting and there was no

    Way that her Elizabeth would be out voluntarily she was terrified of the Dark by 700 p.m. police officers were at Patty’s house the police started at Emma’s house Karen and Gary Emma’s Grandparents were distraught but they didn’t have any information they maintained that Elizabeth had never been

    There all they could do was join the sech the Cole County Sheriff’s Department the highway patrol and even the FBI are desperately trying to find 9-year-old Elizabeth olon well I think that the woods possibility is you kids in this area play in the in the woods in

    In the farm areas back there more than 200 volunteers including military Housewives public servants and construction workers left their jobs to join in the search contacted my supervisor asked him if we were going to assist in in any way and he he said he was going to ask for some volunteers so

    Emma said they had been walking through the Woodland near their houses they had been darting in and out of the neighboring Lawns and backyards she said that an hour later Elizabeth set off home just as she was instructed to do Emma said she watched her friend walk

    Off and that was the last time that she had seen her officers couldn’t see any evidence that pointed towards Foul Play they were more concerned that she’d gotten lost in the woods an easy thing to do by 10 p.m. almost a third of the town was out and looking but the search

    Party eventually had to slow down and stop for the night because of how dark it had gotten as soon as the sun rose they were out again in full force a few hours later with concern continuing to mount the FBI was called in to help and they moved quickly to bring Elizabeth

    Home the search team deployed dive teams helicopters and sniffer doogs All the known sex offenders in the area were interviewed the FBI also started looking at Elizabeth’s phone activity she had received a call that afternoon from someone called Alyssa six-year-old friend Emma then asked to speak to the

    Police again she had a new story but she was scared to tell detectives she said that her half sister had been the one to get her to knock on Elizabeth’s door that afternoon her half sister was 15y old Alysa Bustamante Emma said that when the two were outside playing together

    Alyssa came and joined them and encouraged Emma to leave them alone Elizabeth said she had to head home and started to walk off this timed perfectly with the call that came from Alysa Emma walked back to her house and stayed outside playing alone this left Elizabeth and Alysa out together and

    Alone if what Emma was saying was true she hadn’t been the last person to see Elizabeth that day as far as they now knew it was actually Alysa meanwhile a search Party in the woods made a strange Discovery a group of volunteers had stumbled upon a huge hole that been dug

    Up and then covered back over they alerted the police right away but strangely there was nothing under the soil the hole was empty and there was no sign of Elizabeth or anything belonging to her in that area area but detectives had seen a hole like this before in fact

    They discovered more than one when detectives had been at the buston house talking to Emma they had noticed several holes in the garden that look similar in size and shape to this one with all signs pointing towards a buster Monte house a warrant was issued to search the

    Home everything seemed normal and in order until they entered Alyssa’s room it painted a very troubling and chilling picture it was in disarray everything was everywhere there was writing all over the walls one of them reading It Was Written in Blood It Was Written in Blood cards from her father who was in

    Prison was scattered around the room detectives then found Alyssa’s diary when entry read if I don’t talk about it I bottle it up and when I explode someone’s going to die they also noticed a paragraph that was scribbled over in pen fortunately though investigators were able to uncover some of the

    Original text to do this they simply sha a light at it from behind two words stood out slit and throat born in 1994 Alysa came from a troubled and very broken family both of her parents had substance addictions her father was in and out of prison and her mother would

    Often leave the home while she spiraled downwards eventually Alyssa and her siblings went to live with her grandparents Karen and G the couple soon gained full custody of the children Karen adored Alysa and although the children had had a tough life she did her best to raise them well and be a

    Constant and supportive presence in their lives as she entered her teenage years Alysa started causing harm to herself she was admitted into a psychiatric hospital this was after she took an overdose and began to Mark words into her arms doctors that assessed her described her as being violent and angry

    She was diagnosed with severe depression and was prescribed anti-depressant when she was released things only began to get worse and more concerning on her various social media platforms she changed her list of hobbies to killing people and cutting she often told friends and her boyfriend

    She wanted to know what it was like to kill someone she also said that she had a dream of burning down a house with a family still inside it Alysa was brought in for a formal interview alongside her grandmother and a juvenile officer Alysa started off by recounting her day she

    Said she had come back from school at around 3:30 p.m. she had then gone for a walk in the forest at around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. by this point Detective knew that Alysa had actually skipped lessons that day so pretty much straight away she was already trapping herself in lies

    She said she was supposed to take Hammer her dog on a walk but she decided not to take her as she was annoying instead she walked alone where she saw the two girls she then returned to the house an hour later she maintained that she had never

    Been out with Elizabeth on her own when confronted about her diary entry the interview would take a drastic turn Alyssa’s demeanor had now changed she was shaking and quivering however she still didn’t tell the truth right away Alyssa now changed her story she said the pair had been

    Playing out in the forest Elizabeth had fallen hit her head head and then died instantly now panicked she had tried to conceal the body by burning it given the final page in her diary detectives knew that this wasn’t true however this was the start of the truth coming to light

    Detectives simply had to keep chipping away and poking holes in her Stories the final entry in her diary that had been scribbled over had now been completely uncovered and it read as follows I just killed killed someone I strangled them and slit their throats and stabbed them

    Now they’re dead I don’t know how to feel at the moment it was amazing as soon as you get over the oh my God I can’t do this feeling it’s pretty enjoyable I’m kind of nervous and shaky right now though okay got to go to church now LOL this entry had been

    Written on the same day that Elizabeth had gone missing October the 2th first when confronted with the diary entry everything started to unravel they showed Alyssa her final journal entry they asked her if Elizabeth’s throat had been cut she said yes and Karen elissa’s grandmother burst into tears and walked

    Out the room Alyssa told police that she told her sister to go over and ask Elizabeth to play once Elizabeth was led out of her house Alysa told Emma to go home Alyssa told Elizabeth that she had something to show her but it would be about a 15minute walk into the woods

    Alysa was already armed with a kitchen knife while she was holding the hand of 9-year-old Elizabeth the two girls arrived at a shallow grave Alysa had actually dug this hole 5 days before this was premeditated she had been planning this for quite some time Alysa began throttling Elizabeth she then

    Grabbed a sharp Implement jabbing at her a total of seven times in the chest Alyssa then dragged this same sharp Implement across Elizabeth’s neck she then buried Elizabeth and covered her with leaves police knew that to be able to find Elizabeth’s body they would need

    Alysa to guide them to her of course she knew exactly where Elizabeth was Alysa agreed to take police to her remains she lay just 15 minutes from home and her body wasn’t exactly buried very deep some of her body parts were protruding from underneath the leaves the Search

    For Elizabeth Alton had come to a devastating end a day after Elizabeth was found police announced that they had placed the 15-year-old under arrest Alysa had been charged with first-degree murder police also interviewed Alyssa’s boyfriend and asked him to undertake a polygraph test although they suspect did he likely knew that something had

    Happened they determined that he didn’t have anything to do with the murder of Elizabeth he wasn’t implicated any further Alyssa had dug two graves in the weeks before she was essentially waiting for the perfect opportunity it remains undetermined who if anyone the second grave was intended for but police

    Suspected she was actually planning to kill her two younger brothers well by opening the November hearing the judge will allow the general public to attend the trial as well as keep the suspect in custody at that CER certification hearing judge beum will decide whether to try the 50-year-old suspect as a

    Juvenile or an adult despite her lawyer’s efforts to get her Alessa charge on the grounds of a troubled childhood and her age the judge ruled that Alyssa would be tried as an adult Alyssa pleaded not guilty and trial preparation got underway in June 2011 a huge blow came for Elizabeth’s family

    And the prosecution alysa’s defense team requested that her lengthy confession should be thrown out the judge ruled that because of her age and the line of questioning put forward at least part of her statement would not be admissible in court her trial was delayed and set for early

    2012 knowing they were up against it the prosecution decided to offer Alysa the option of plea deal therefore Alissa withdrew her not guilty plea and pleaded guilty to second degree murder this spared her the chances of receiving the death penalty as part of the deal Alyssa had to recount what had happened that

    Day in all its awful detail the tension in the courtroom was palpable and everybody was sitting in stunned silence the defense team heavily relied on Alyssa’s childhood upbringing and mental health issues they claimed that her prescribed medication made her more prone to violence despite this Alysa was

    Sentenced to life in prison for second degree murder and 30 years for armed criminal action under Missouri’s law Alysa May seek parole after 30 years Alyssa repealed her sentence in 2014 but it was Denied sister still have the knife yeah and what is going on there I don’t know I just woke up okay who am I talking to now her daughter okay and what’s going on there who has the knif my sister okay do she still have him Mom okay what happened born on May the

    Placed their trust in the Caring Hands of Lucy letby a nurse that had recently begun working on the unit Lucy was described as a sweet innocent nurse one that the Whit Fields were happy to have taken care of their newborn bundle of joy on November the 20th Lucy sat beside

    Baby Felicity and then the peaceful atmosphere was shattered the sound of alarms pierced the air and Lucy sprang into action she pressed the emergency button to call for reinforcements doing what she could to restore the baby’s Health as the medical team rushed into the room they worked tirelessly to save

    Felicity’s life with intense focus a life which had suddenly taken a dark turn felicity’s lungs had collapsed she was holding on to Life by a single thread the medical team was able to fully incubate and stabilize the new baby but questions still remained about what exactly had caused such a drastic

    Change this would be the first of many suspicious occurrences at the Countess of Chester Hospital the next 2 years would remain relatively quiet in a neonatal unit at least as far as unexplained complications were concerned however on June the 8th 2015 that all would change baby a one of

    A pair of twins began displaying signs of distress and all too common occurrence in a place where newborn babies are closely monitored while Baby A’s mother was concerned about the distress the nurse in charge had told her not to worry as she monitored his progress but within 26 minutes that same

    Nurse recognized the gravity of the situation they urgently called for a doctor to intervene the baby’s stats were tanking and it wasn’t looking good among the chaos the baby’s mother anxiously awaited for news on her child’s fate watching as doctors crowded around her baby the nurse tried to

    Reassure the mother in a calming manner offering words of comfort in the most difficult of moments however the situation took a somber turn as the urgency escalated before the Clock Struck N9 on that night babya struggle came to a heartbreaking end leaving medical professionals to Grapple with an

    Unexplained loss in the aftermath the nurse extended a gentle gesture to The Grieving parents offering to bathe and dress the baby giving them intimate time with him before he was taken to the Mory in the wake of Baby A’s tragic loss the entire neonatal unit endured intense

    Emotional strain and just 28 hours later the unthinkable happened baby b Baby A’s twin sister suddenly collapsed a sense of urgency filled the air once more as another emergency situation unfolded in those tense moments baby b was successfully resuscitated saved from the same fate as her twin brother while

    Relief washed over the team and the parents questions still swelled as to what exactly had gone wrong they performed testing to try and discern exactly what had happened finding that baby b had Loops of gas filled bowels indicating that a bowel obstruction had caused the collapse this was not a cause

    For immediate concern baby b was monitored closely as she eventually gained health and she was eventually discharged with her still grieving parents on June the 14th 2015 baby ca made its entrance into the world he was born 10 weeks before his due date his arrival was met with cautious optimism

    Requiring no immediate medical attention and seemingly in good health despite this good news the fact that he was premature landed him in the neonatal unit the staff in this unit closely monitored baby C’s progress and all seemed well until another Grim turn took place in the midst of the challenge to

    Save his life a nurse’s hushed words to Baby se’s mother carried the weight of the world she said he’s going despite everyone’s efforts baby C’s condition just couldn’t be repaired he passed away within a day of his birth leaving another unexplained crisis on the books Baby D was brought into the world

    6 days later as a full-term infant however she found herself in a neonatal unit since a mother’s water had broken early medical professionals had given her a clean bill of health but kept her in for observation however as the early hours of her life unfolded baby D enjoyed a series of unexplained crisis

    Throughout the course of two horrifying hours baby BBD coded time and time again nurses noted that she had skin discoloration each time they had to rush to her Aid Baby D would suffer yet another collapse just 34 minutes later this sadly ended her life before it could even truly

    Begin now after four unexplained emergency situations in just one month the head of the neonatal Department Dr Brewery took notice of the strange occurring es he conducted a meticulous review of Baby D’s case as well as the three previous unexplained incidents however no definitive conclusions arose from the investigation leaving only

    Further questions about what was happening at the hospital babies e andf were born 10 weeks premature they resided in a neonatal unit under the care of a medical team on August the 3rd 2015 the their mother visited the unit milk bottles in hand but her Discovery left

    Her concerned she noticed that baby e had a red liquid around his mouth she called out to the nurse nearby to check on him the nurse quickly caled her nerves saying it was simply a result of tube irritation in baby E’s stomach the twin’s mother was calmed but tensions

    Only grew as a doctor visited on his rounds the next morning upon inspection of Baby E the doctor had noticed the same thing they found fresh red fluid coming up baby E’s tube from outside the unit baby E’s mother heard the familiar sound of her own child’s horrendous

    Crying she rushed to find her baby in distress as resuscitation attempts were being made but despite their best efforts Baby E was the fourth Baby that had lost his life suddenly and without reason less than 24 hours later baby F crashed as well leaving the Hopeless mother in a state of utter despair

    Luckily though baby F was able to be restored to full health but this left behind another suspicion that could no longer be ignored it was at this point that nurses became suspicious of these occurrences further testing showed abnormal levels of insulin in baby F’s system this could not be explained away

    Easily the nurses began to suspect that someone had overdosed the infant with insulin this must have caused a myriad of complications from the extreme Levels by October three more infants had passed away unexpectedly something had to be done nurses doctors and even Dr Barry went to their supervises and Consultants to beg

    For some kind of Investigation from upper management but their cries were muffled by words that claimed they were making a fuss even though some kind of Investigation was promised it wouldn’t take place until February of 2016 Dr Barry had waited too long he knew he had to take action after

    Ordering a thematic review to the now extremely high toll of lost lives he found one common factor that existed among every single and explained occurrence one nurse that had been on staff during every single collapse this nurse’s connection to mortalities and scares were met with confirmation from doctors and nurses that were

    Uncomfortable with working with her suspicion within the unit had already been growing about her behavior Dr Barry called a meeting to discuss his findings the findings were sent to the medical director of the hospital Ian Harvey Dr Barry begged for an emergency meeting to take action but no such meeting would

    Occur for three more months during this 3month period two more babies experien life-threatening circumstances that could not otherwise be explained they were found with either air or extreme amounts of insulin within their system this couldn’t be an accident these actions were clearly intentional other nurses and doctors were refusing to work

    With this one nurse the nurse that was becoming increasingly more suspicious taking action to the best of their ability the nurse of Interest was no longer allowed to work on night shifts she was banned until the confusion was settled on May the 11th Dr Barry would finally get his urgent meeting with

    Harvey and Allison Kelly Kelly being the director of nursing it was during this meeting that Barry would spout his complaints his concerns and alarms about the nurse who everyone was now afraid of with seemingly nothing being done to stop the huge spike in child mortality rates however the only response that was

    Received was an assurance letter from the NHS trust this is the organizational unit in charge of that hospital according to this letter there was no evidence whatsoever to suggest that a nurse was causing this huge mortality rate they put it down to purely coincidence with nowhere to turn doctors

    And nurses in the neonatal units were forced to return to work knowing that every day would be riddled with anxiety over the next child’s Collapse by June of 2016 directly after another strange crisis the nurse in question had taken a vacation to ither everyone was now able

    To settle and breathe at least for a little while during this two week vacation no emergent situations occurred within the neonatal unit but on June the 23rd the nurse had returned this was just in time for another life on a neonatal unit to end Child O was a

    Perfectly healthy baby he was due to be discharged to his parents as had always occurred he collapsed unexpectedly leaving shocked and distraught parents behind 13 minutes later baby O’s triplet brother met the exact same fate this was the final straw it had to end here too many lives had been

    Lost doctors and nurses were tired of standing by and doing nothing of receiving no help from above upon investigation it was found that baby o had an injury to his liver air had been injected into his bloodstream this once more was no accident someone had deliberately done this to to this poor innocent

    Soul Dr BR urgently called Karen Reese she was the duty executive of the hospital telling her what had just happened and demanding that the vicious nurse be removed from the unit Reese instead of finally launching an investigation simply said that the nurse was safe to work and that she herself

    Would take the responsibility for any further situations Dr br was met with more disappointment knowing that this wouldn’t be the end he decided to remove the nurse from the unit anyway placing her on clerical duties in the way carve in action again the mortality rate had slowed and the strange collapses ceased

    Three months of Peace would preside over the neonatal unit until in September of 2016 the hospital would receive a letter of grievance from Lucy letby the nurse that that had formerly worked on the neonatal unit before suddenly being forced to work in a clerical position the letter detailed the unprofessional

    Behavior and attitude that she had received from other doctors and nurses on staff saying that she was constantly bullied for months in response to this letter all doctors and nurses were forced to write a letter of apology to Lucy after writing the letter of apology another cry for an investigation ran out

    Towards the NHS trust an investigation that did happen and took 2 months to complete the trust found in November of 2016 that nothing out of the ordinary was occurring in the neonatal unit every path had been exhausted and there was nowhere left to turn maybe they had just

    Been wrong maybe Lucy letby was just the sweet funloving and bubbly nurse that everyone else said that she was if that that was the case what else could have been causing such crushing chaos nurses and doctors combed through every option they could think of viruses contaminations anything they could grab

    On to to explain the horror that had been happening they tried as hard as they could to come up with an alternative explanation but no such explanation could be found it had to be harm inflicted at the hands of a nurse and that nurse had to be Lucy

    Letby a year would pass until in May of 2017 police were finally called in to investigate the Carnage in the neonatal unit at the hospital after the Staggering mortality rates were finally seen on paper after considering the option of naturally occurring reasons it was more likely that the Lost lives

    Would a result of deliberate harm and it didn’t take long for police to point to a prime Suspect with just the Coincidence of her shifts alone Lucy letby was arrested Lucy is it hello my name please step two seconds yes yeah thank you anybody problem

    Going to put you in the back seat over here okay to take a seat in there for me Lucy I’ll move that seat forward a bit short I’ve just had new surgery oh right okay her initial interview would yield nothing Lucy insisted that everything that happened was out of her control she

    Said that the whole neonatal team wondered together what may be occurring they told me that there would be a lot more Des that I’ve been linked to somebody that was there for a lot of them did you have any concerns that there was a rise in mortality right yes

    Okay so tell me about that what concerns did you have I think we don’t just notice as a as a team in general than this and stuff that this was a rise compared to previous years however this did not deter investigators this only prompted them to investigate for physical evidence instead of a

    Confession searches of Lucy’s home as well as her parents’ home provided the Staggering evidence that they needed Lucy Had strangely been hoarding patient records this was along with multiple handwritten notes about her thoughts and experiences among these notes were the words I am evil I did this in Lucy’s bedroom over

    200 Handover sheets were discovered in shopping bags sheets which detailed the depressing ends and emergent situations of the babies in the neonatal unit police continue to search turning next to Lucy’s computer investigation into her search history found that Lucy Had searched for 11 of the affected families on Facebook additionally es on her

    Smartphone discovered a photo of sympathy card one that was sent to one of the families the card was signed with Lucy’s name the police would spend the next year combing through the thousands of pages of reports and interviews finally gathering enough evidence to charge Lucy leby with her heinous crimes

    In November of 2020 all the evidence pointed to one fact Lucy letby was responsible for ending these infants lives a supporting role of this evidence included the text messages that Lucy would send in correlation with each lost life she would bask in the sympathy she received as the unsuccessful hero in

    These infant lives she would say things like it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do hard coming in tonight and seeing the parents she would continue to Garner the sympathy of her friends over each chaotic emergency detailing each loss and complication it was clear that Lucy Had No Remorse for

    What she had done years after these numerous incidents families were forced to Grapple with the fact that they did not lose their children due to Natural circumstances and that nothing had been done to stop it happening again as news broke that these infants had passed away

    At the hands of a nurse the powers in Westminster released a statement saying they would be launching an independent inquiry to investigate the inaction of the NHS trust families look back on her interactions with Lucy with one mother realizing that she had witnessed one of Lucy lebe’s attacks despite not being

    His designated nurse baby C’s mother had seen Lucy standing over her son’s monitor this was just moments before the emergency alarm sounded Lucy letby had been injecting that baby with there and she had been injecting air and Insulin into the IV bags and the intubation tubes of every single baby leading them

    All to either extreme Health complications or to the end of their lives additionally it was found that Lucy Had injected some of the infants multiple times after their lives didn’t end with parents discovering the true Horrors that the children had gone through at her hands all of this and

    More would be revealed at her trial in in October of 2022 there every detail of her crimes would be aired out by witness statements Lucy faced the weight of 22 charges she plad not guilty to each and every one the most compelling evidence that the prosecution would produce was the

    Handwritten notes found inside of Lucy’s home the notes containing the troubling confessions of her evil nature and the fact that she did it was difficult for the defense to combat however what was also present were notes declaring her innocence leaving the question of her guilt extremely unclear what proved to be truly haunting

    Were the witness statements expert witness Dr jury Evans took the stand testifying to the harrowing instance involving Child G he revealed that under Lucy’s care the baby had received far more milk than prescribed one that couldn’t be anything other than a deliberate act one with intent to harm

    As the courtroom drama continued another startling statement came to light from Lisa Walker a coworker of Lucy’s according to her testimony not only had Lucy leby neglected to help when one of the infants was in distress but had also chastised another worker for Lending a hand Lucy squeaky clean nice Lucy facade

    Was beginning to Rumble as witness testimonies continued Lucy’s supervisor detailed the odd behavior that she exhibited during her time on the unit she would spend excessive Time with babies that were not assigned to her care with doctors witnessing her watch the oxygen levels drop and do nothing co-workers detailed how Lucy would

    Neglect her own assigned infants in order to latch on to other infants in the unit other infants which would later have health complications as the trial progressed the jury was shown Lucy’s diary in which she had written the initials of each of the babies who had passed away or that had

    Experienced serious emergencies the amount of time that officers spent Gathering the evidence proved to be useful as Lucy’s Act was being destroyed May of 2023 would Mark a pivotal moment in the trial as Lucy took the stand in her own defense with a voice full of emotion she made the Declaration that

    She had only ever done her best to care for the infants saying that she was there to take care of them not to harm them as her questioning continued Lucy introduced an unexpected claim she said that the tragic occurrences were the result of Plumbing issues within the hospital and that nurses were neglecting

    To wash their hands this was something that the prosecution hadn’t prepared for they scrambled to continue their fight to prove Lucy’s guilt Nick Johnson lead prosecutor had succinctly summarized what the jury was meant to do it was their duty to weigh the evidence presented deciding whether Lucy was

    Truly guilty of her crimes of injecting air and Insulin over 22 times into various infants ones that otherwise would have had the very real promise of life as the jury deliberated for 22 days to match her 22 charges the legal team of both sides considered what the

    Outcome may be while Lucy did have an overwhelming evidence against her some of the 22 charges included multiple attempts against the same baby but attempts that ultimately resulted in their survival would the entire trial be thrown out over any of these charges ultimately Lucy leby was found

    Guilty of 14 of the 22 charges she was found guilty of ending the lives of seven infants and attempting to end the life of seven more Lucy refused to leave her prison cell for the sentencing hearing apparently unable to Bear The Shame of the families of which she had

    Destroyed it was during this hearing in August of 2023 that the judge would equate luc’s acts to sadism this was a cruel calculated and cynical campaign of child murder involving the smallest and most vulnerable of children knowing that your actions were causing significant physical suffering and would cause Untold mental suffering you created

    Situations so that collapses or causes of collapses would not be obvious or associated with you you removed and retained confidential records of events relating to your crimes and checked up on bereaved p parents there was a deep malevolence bordering on sadism in your actions during the course of this trial

    You have coldly denied any responsibility for your wrongdoing and sought to attribute some fault to others you have no remorse there are no mitigating factors in their totality the offenses of murder and attempted murder were of exceptionally High seriousness and just punishment according to Law requires a whole life

    Order Lucy letby on each of the seven offenses of murder and the Seven offenses of attempted murder I sentence you to imprisonment for life because the seriousness of your offenses is exceptionally High I direct that the early release Provisions do not apply the order of the Court therefore

    Is a whole life order on each and every offense and you will spend the rest of your life in prison Lucy became the fourth woman in English History to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Lucy is currently working to appeal this sentence hoping

    To see the outside world once more on the other side of Justice Nick Johnson announced that his team would be retrying Lucy on just one of the accusations one story involving a baby girl in February of 2016 a trial that will not take place until June of

    2024 Nick Johnson will not be able to retry this case until after Lucy appeals the original conviction in the meantime the attention of many is turning to the NHS trust the organization in charge of the hospital healthcare workers who had worked alongside Lucy have come forward to shed light on a troubling workplace

    Environment they have recounted experiences of a hostile atmosphere for those who had tried to raise concerns about Lucy and her crimes early on and the pervasive fear of a destroyed reputation that swept it under the rug throughout Lucy’s trials several pediatricians who worked alongside her had repeatedly voiced their concerns

    About her behavior only being met with resistance on the part of management Dr John Gibbs a member of the department disclosed that pediatricians were definitely concerned that Lucy had been harming neonatal patients but responses to these concerns would take months upon months to arrive many of the families

    Staff and public firmly believe that if the hospitals management to take an appropriate action that many lives could have been saved Dr Jam a doctor that had raised concerns about Lucy letby in October of 2015 stating that the truth needs to come out about why no action was taken

    To protect the innocent lives within the hospital Additionally the delayed involvement of the police is an even more concerning Factor highlighting a systemic issue within the NHS issues that could perhaps stem from the systemic underfunding of the NHS the overworking of NHS caregivers of unfathomable bureaucracy of needless

    Middle management and the funneling of taxpayer money away from actual health care and into private entities and donors Pockets altogether this contributes to a lower level of care arguably by Design jwy Evans the expert witness for the prosecution among many others strongly believes that there should be a police investigation into

    The hospital Executives who consist consistently ignored the claims against Lucy lawyer Tamlin Bolton is representing the families of several babies who were the victims of Lucy leby making civil claims against the trust in charge of the hospital Bolton emphasized that the importance of scrutinizing what the trust knew about the situation must

    Be uncovered for proper Justice to be served highlighting the compliance they hold in the tragedies that occurred while the British government did launch an independent inquiry into the trust many representatives of the victim’s families have argued that this isn’t enough letters have been sent to the revolving door of Health secretaries

    Demanding the government to establish a statutory inquiry an inquiry which would compel individuals involved to provide evidence as opposed to the independent inquiry which allows for them to opt out of providing evidence Rob bons the man who is leading the fight against the trust has stressed that this moment m is

    Pivotal in the history of the Health Service underscoring the need to understand why patient safety isn’t given as much importance as the reputation of the management teams the call for a more comprehensive investigation and the protection of those who raise concerns is a significant step towards addressing systemic issues in the Health Care

    System and in gaining True Justice for the families involved that endure such heartache one of my employees did not show up for work this afternoon at 4:00 okay which is totally uncharacteristic of her she and her boyfriend are splitting up and he can be a real jerk with her this is

    One of the most shocking cases I have ever investigated it involves things that no person or animal should ever witness or experience a truly difficult course of events to break down and present to you this is the tragic case of Tina Herman Cody and Sarah mayard and

    Stephanie sprang Tina Herman a mother of two Cody mayard and Sarah mayard was born on February the 13th 1978 Tina’s biggest joy in life was being a mother she appreciated the simple things in life her favorite flowers were sunflowers and she would collect figurines of dolphins daughter Sarah was born in April

    1997 and Son Cody was born on September the 16th 1999 both were good in school and participated in multiple athletic and sports teams Cody mayard was described as having an enormous heart if he was to no as bullying he would put a stop to it Sarah mayard was described as

    The epitome of bravery and an inspiration Tina was by this time divorced from her children’s father Larry mayard at that time he was living in New Jersey with his new wife Tracy and their son AJ after moving Tina Herman quickly became best friends with another mother in the neighborhood Hood

    Stephanie sprang the pair became Inseparable Stephanie was also a mother of three she had a bubbly personality and was always smiling the most important thing to Stephanie too was her children they lived in a county of Mount Vernon called Knox County at the time it was known mainly for its agriculture it

    Is surrounded by parks and lakes and its residents are known to be friendly people it has a population of over 16,000 with a tight-nit community feel it is located around an hour’s drive from Columbus the capital of Ohio on the morning of Wednesday November the 10th

    2010 Greg left the house for work at around 3:40 a.m. that morning he was working at the Target Distribution Center outside of Columbus this was around an hourong driveway from the family home Greg wasn’t planning to return home for a few days he had plans to stay at a friend’s house nearer to

    Work and play some golf and hang out back at the house Tina Herman now aged 32 was getting her kids Cody age 11 and Stephanie age 13 ready for school Cody and Sarah left the school and attended their classes at East Knox Middle School after the kids had left the school Tina

    Left the house before 9:00 a.m. to run some errands boyfriend Greg had sent Tina a text message when he left for work and he received a reply at around 11:30 a.m. Tina explained in a text message that she had fed the family dog a miniature pincher called Tana Tina had

    A scheduled shift at work at 400 p.m. at the Dairy Queen in Mount Vernon she got on well with her co-workers and had a good attendance record she was not one to just not turn up she had also planned to meet with her neighbor and best friend Stephanie they were going to

    House hunt for a new home for Tina’s family to move into between the time that she sent the text message to boyfriend Greg and the time she was due to start work at Dairy Queen Tina had her whole day planned out the home where the family lived was fairly isolated

    With few neighbors living in the area when Tina returned to the family home after going to the store she discovered that she was not alone shortly after entering the house she was strucking the head in an attempt to knock her out this attempt failed in an escalation she was

    Then struck multiple times in the chest and back with a sharp Implement by an unknown man in the master bedroom coincidentally during the attack neighbor and best friend Stephanie entered the family home Stephanie rushed to the master bedroom to check out the loud noises that she could hear after

    Seeing her best friend being viciously attacked a distraught Stephanie started to yell she too was attacked by the as salant in the same way as Tina the attacker struck her in the chest repeatedly with a sharp Implement until she was no longer breathing after both women were tragically lifeless the

    Intruder began dismantling their bodies in the bathtub of the family home the beloved family pet Tanner was present throughout the event he would not stop barking as he saw his entire world being torn apart the man then shockingly ended the life of Tanner in much the same way

    The Barking could have been drawing attention to the scene the attacker then put the bodies of all three into trash bags he then attempted to clean up some of the mess in the house during this time Cody and Sarah had returned home from school on the school bus taken a

    Short walk home and then entered through the front door as soon as they entered the house the as salent jumped at the startled children he struck 11-year-old Cody in the back of their head with a sharp Implement sadly ending him in an instant although Cody had already passed

    The craz the salent then continued to strike him after witnessing the unbelievably harrowing attack on her brother Sarah took this chance and fled to into her bedroom in an attempt to escape however she was unable to flee from the living nightmare that had become her reality she was chased and

    Caught by The Man by then he had already taken four precious lives but for dark reasons the man decided to spare the now shattered life of Sarah he tied her up with a cord from the fan in her bedroom he then carried her down stairs to the

    Kitchen where he gagged her and left her to wait he returned to the horror in the bathroom room disposing of Cody in the same heartless manner as before with three people now packed into black plastic bags the man carried them out to the garage here Stephanie’s jeep was

    Parked he loaded the bags into the boot of her car he then returned to the family’s kitchen to blindfold Sarah and placed her in the car with the bags just a note for me I find this just so awful it’s actually impossible to imagine what this experience must have been like for

    Sarah or for any of of them I guess maybe luckily at this stage she didn’t know the full extent of what had or what was about to happen it’s just really really awful the man drives Stephanie’s Jeep around a mile away from the house at this stage he changed to his own car

    A Toyota Yaris during this time Sarah was unaware that the lives of her loved ones were now over and they were now in the bags placed beside her the man transferred Sarah and the bags into his own car and then drove Sarah to his home home upon arrival at his house he locked

    Sarah in the bathroom he then left for a period of time and disposed of the bags at a sight far away from his home when he returned he decided he needed a nap he then tied Sarah to him fearing that she might Escape Sarah now took a chance

    To look around she saw that her kidnapper’s home was strangely filled with leaves the walls were lined with bags stuffed with leaves and the floors were completely covered with loose and bagged leaves it’s hard to imagine just how surreal and confusing this whole thing would be in yet another

    Heartbreaking moment when the man woke up Sarah was intimately violated multiple times back at the house and in the community the absence of the family did not go unnoticed later that day Tina’s manager at the Dairy Queen grew concerned Tina had not turned up for her

    Shift not only that but she had not heard anything from Tina that day at all this was not normal for her she called Knox County Police and reported the unusual behavior sherff Barber’s office hi my name is Valerie hathorn uh and I work at a Dairy Queen I’m the general

    P.m. and again at 11:00 p.m. however there was no answer and they noticed nothing unusual at this stage there were no grounds to enter the home Tina’s lack of contact was something that the manager just couldn’t ignore she drove to Tina’s home herself the next day on

    Thursday November the 11th she wanted to to get to the bottom of this growing mystery the first thing she noticed was that Tina’s car was not in the garage and when she looked into her window of the home she noticed that something was not right in a decision not taken

    Lightly she broke a back window accessible from the yard and entered into a nightmarish scene she discovered an excessive amount of spatter around the house she searched through the home in an attempt to find some answers while in the bathroom she came across a bizarre marking in the bath tub it was a

    Rim of a red substance around 2 in high in the tub she immediately called the police again and told them what she had found this is deuty s I can help you yes this is Valerie haythorn I called in last night about Tina Herman being

    Approval from Tina Herman’s boyfriend Greg the police entered the family’s home the deputy sheriff noticed the family pet Tanner was not at home whilst trying to unearth answers as to where the family could be the deputy noticed the man sat in a car across the street

    From the house he asked the man what he was doing there and to see his license the man told him that he was waiting waiting for his girlfriend named Sarah not knowing what to make of it B the deputy let the man go however he did

    Make a note of this strange encounter a man hunt was immediately called for as the police continued to investigate the Herman family’s home they located Tina’s pickup truck which was found 7 miles away from her home near Kenyan College police called Tina’s boyfriend Greg in for questioning Greg was at work during

    The time of the disappearances and afterwards he went to buy beer at a nearby store and then went golfing just as he said he would do before the incident he was captured on CCTV and it was clear that he was not the suspect that they were looking for Greg was

    Quickly released as he had a solid Alibi police had found a Walmart bag which contained heavyduty black bags and a tar at the family home during the search they checked the product codes on the items and after matching these to store records they were able to verify the

    Date and time that they had been purchased police officials then identified the man who had purchased the these items by checking the surveillance video at the store in the CCTV footage they were also able to see this new suspect driving his Toyota Yaris when leaving after checking records for

    People who owned a Toyota Yaris in the area they finally found their suspect it was a man named Matthew Hoffman 30-year-old Matthew Hoffman was once a tree surgeon police obtained a search warrant for Matthew Hoffman’s Columbus Road home on November the 14th quickly after accessing the house they found

    Sarah mayard tied up and gagged in his basement still alive under the circumstances a 13-year-old girl being held captive for 4 days by a total stranger uh I would call her the epitome of Bravery while the police continue to search for the missing family members Matthew Hoffman was arrested for

    Kidnapping on the 15th of November everybody’s you know worried about what’s going on everybody’s scared wanting to know you know is everybody okay and everybody’s just worried mainly there’s a lot of thoughts running through my mind and I guess all we can do is pray that they come home safe to

    Everybody for Neighbors who live near Hoffman the news that 13-year-old Sarah was found just steps away is disturbing it’s it’s really scary knowing that I could spit on his porch for my house he’s just weird he uh he doesn’t go to the grocery store he’s very paranoid I

    Know that he was very and he only had two friends in one year that I’ve seen come over there he was fun and stuff at first and then recently um he choked my friend and um that’s when she she told me not to let the kids over in the yard

    Okay I think you know what what we want to talk about but we need to find some find some people man can you hear me the only reason that I don’t know where Tina Stephanie and Cody are is because we had to spend a lot of time into the scene okay we will

    Know we will find them and if it’s going to come to it that it’s not with your help then so be it but I’m going to be the first guy to tell the jury that I guarantee you that I sat in an interview room with this

    Guy and all he want to do is close his eyes and blink them until I walk out of the room and then he opens his eyes and gets his drink of water now am I a prudent person what kind of person do I think that is you know other

    People there’s family members out there of other people and they alls they want is closure that’s all they want they’ve been up for days like you and I have you know I I don’t understand sign language man is that your heart you’re say heart broken your heart’s broken because of what

    Happened no someone broke your heart I don’t want to hurt anyone it’s not me you know what antipsychotic medication is I mean it doesn’t read about it it doesn’t directly address the problem it’s just powerful it tranquilizers take it if I have to be crazy why do you think

    That something bad that wouldn’t be wow that can you work through okay potentially I can’t you know guarantee these things what facility you might go to you know where you might go what might happen and and and the attitude that the people in the system are going

    To take toward you can be affected by the fact that you decided at this point to do the right thing thing from the moment we broke into your house found you and found her in the basement you owned it all you own it all okay you

    Can’t do anything about the part of it you own and you know you I mean if you didn’t have a plan and you just put them in the Jeep you just pulled over somewhere there’s weeds in the Jeep so it looks like it’s probably pulled into a field somewhere and that’s how the

    Weeds got on there if it’s a random Place give me an idea where Street it might be on or off of but you got to be able to narrow the field on CY The Dumping itself has to be less dramatic to recall than all the stuff going on in the bathroom just just

    Tell us word look and I will stand up in court and see what you did and I will I will go I will go to Sarah myself and tell her that you did I don’t want you to get upset but the reason we’re driving around and we don’t

    Have to drive around okay remember I came in here saying that I didn’t want to drive around unless there was some value in it okay right that’s the whole point is will you see something that will you know prompt your memory but I want to talk about I want to talk about

    What what the possibilities would be from that location okay in other words not across the street you’re not going to put bodies across the street what would you do you know from there you know if in terms of a place you might go we’re not going to be mad at you if

    You don’t know exactly your memory is not exact because you you have said that you want you want to know you’re afraid to find out but you but there’s a part of you that wants to know if it doesn’t happen genuinely then it doesn’t happen I’m not going to be

    Upset you know drive you let you see and kind of see what happens I mean I may ask you Chris ask you an occasional question but that’s all that’s all we’re trying to do okay water yeah you want to go to the bathroom before go are you good I think I should go

    Okay walk out with me Hoffman appeared on a video arrangment on the 16th of November and was given a public defender the judge ordered for him to be held under a $1 million Bond on November the 17th after several days of searching for the missing family the sheriff announced his

    Concerns that the three missing people had most likely had their lives cut short however they continued their search to find them holding on to Hope Matthew Hoffman in a ple agreement to avoid the death penalty and with one very strange stipulation finally gave the police police family and Community

    The answers that they were looking for he informed them that the bodies of the family could be found in a hollowed out tree in the kosing Wildlife Area it is highly unlikely that the police would have ever found the bodies without having Hoffman tell them the hollowed

    Out opening of the tree stood around 35 ft into the air the strange stipulation requested by Hoffman was that the tree must not be cut down during his trial it was mentioned that he had a noticeable interest in trees perhaps an obsession Hoffman also proved to be an unreliable

    Witness his admissions regarding his treatment of Sarah during her time of captivity were conflicting to the statements of Sarah and other evidence he stated that he tried to make her comfortable fed her and treated her with respect and dignity however these were simply lies during the trial Sarah

    Bravely stood up to her kidnapp her the very same man who had catastrophically taken the lies of her family and friend the judge listened and her relatives weeped as the prosecutor read a letter the young girl wrote to her attacker all I was thinking about is if my family was

    Okay and if I was going to be able to live especially when he was putting the ropes on me I said ow that hurts he said I don’t care if your arms and legs turn purple Justice will never be served I will never be able to get my mom and

    Brother back until I see them in heaven Matthew I want you to know that you will never be forgiven by me but I’m not scared of you Matthew I’m going to stand up for myself and live my life Hoffman never looked up not once as more family

    Members spoke before you R in hell did you be treated and tortured as you have done to our family members before the judge sentenced Hoffman to life in prison without parole his attorney spoke for his client who again never looked up this was a random burglary that went terribly terribly wrong it’s

    Tragic can’t undo what is done the apologize this was my daughter here this Stephanie trying to remember the uh the things that were and uh bring him into the future with us but it’s it’s hard it’s very hard Hoffman tried to spin a Web of Lies that the crime was

    A burglary gone wrong Hoffman had already spent 8 years in jail after burning down a condo that he burglarized in 2001 during the trial Hoffman said I did not enter the house to kill those people I did not know a single one of them them I did not know their names and

    I did not know who lived at the house I chose the house to break into because there were not any close neighbors and I noticed the garage door was a jar however all evidence led to a different agenda Hoffman who had a previous criminal record of burglary aren and

    Theft had purchased the sharp Implement days before the attack Hoffman had already spent 8 years in jail after burning down a condo that he burglarized in 2001 it was also brought to light that he had had camped in a wood nearby the family’s home the night before the

    Attacks in his confession Hoffman told investigators that he did not take anything from the family home additionally he stated that he had used black bags that he had found within the home however this is known to not be true the bags were in fact the thing that identified him when the deputy

    Found the man waiting near the family home in his car in a sickening twist Hoffman was the man that said he was waiting waiting for his girlfriend named Sarah however Hoffman was actually there because he planned to burn down the family home destroying all evidence Hoffman had already spent 8 years in

    Jail after burning down a condo that he burglarized in 2001 on January the 6th 2011 Hoffman pled guilty to 10 counts and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole this case is almost too senseless and too sad to mention there are now

    Over 100 cases on my channel and I am never not disappointed and horrified with human nature all I can say in Comfort is that there are more good people out there than bad so as you watch my channel always remember that reassuring fact Lily civan was born in

    Penbroke in Wales she grew up in clat a small Market town in Karen Shire there she lived with her mother Anna Lily was an only child and her mother understandably doted on her after a tragic 14 miscarriages Anna had finally given birth to a healthy baby girl she

    Had all but given up hope until that is Lily came along and gave her real purpose to her life Lily was a beautiful girl inside and out however she couldn’t always see that for herself growing up she lacked self-confidence she was an amazing artist and kind to everyone but

    She was shy this made it hard for her to find where she was meant to fit in in high school however by her late teens she had found her place she had started college and she was truly thriving yes she was quiet but she was also quick

    Witted a wise old head on young shoulders she wasn’t one for following the crowd either but she had made new friends and was enjoying the Independence that college was bringing her she had just gotten her first tattoo a spider in the middle of her chest with ivy leaves going over her shoulder

    Really coming into her own she had just started driving lessons and loved her part-time job at a supermarket her life was really just beginning it was 2021 when Lily turned 18 in the UK this opened up a world of socializing opportunities for her she now spent her

    Friday evenings in the local pub going on to dancing into the early hours of Sunday mornings with her friends in clubs this was a different world and for a girl that loved house music she was now truly in her element on December the 16th Lily was heading to a Christmas

    Night at out a nightclub formerly known as paddles in penbroke at around 7:30 p.m. Mother Anna had dropped Lily and her friend Lara at the castle Pub for pre-drinks the girls were understandably excited to let their hair down and everyone was in the festive Spirit Lily’s mother drove away from the pub

    Wondering what stories of shenanigans the pair would come home with she normally wouldn’t have to wait too long the plan was for Mom Anna to pick up Lily and her friend at the end of the evening and the friend was then going to come for a sleepover however this plan

    Never came to fruition Lily and her friends stayed at the castle Pub for around an hour before meeting five other friends and then walking to out once inside they got more drinks and then took photos by the flower wall no one could have anticipated that these would

    Be the last photos as a group the club was packed out it was the festive season after all a few hours later Lara asked Lily if her mom was coming to get them she wasn’t feeling great and didn’t want to stay out but Lily was having a great

    Time she had met someone whilst in the club 31-year-old lewiis Haynes who was also out with his friends for the night lewiis was a well-known Cricket player in the area one who liked to party and celebrates his wins tonight though though he wasn’t celebrating a win instead he’d fought with his girlfriend

    And was trying to drink it off and now it seemed that his girlfriend was the last thing on his mind throughout the night luris was showing Lily a lot of attention he was buying her drink after drink and showering her with compliments his friends had warned them that Lily

    Was only 18 but he ignored them and continued to focus his attention the pair was spotted kissing in the corner of the club seemingly in their own little bubble at around 1:00 a.m. Lara started to have a panic attack outside of the club she wasn’t sure how it

    Started but she did have them often so this was a relatively normal occurrence amidst the panic attack there was a scuffle happening in the background ls’s female friend was shouting at him and Lily she said what are you doing she’s only 18 she she continued you have a

    Girlfriend and a baby at home and then Lily walked off with Louis and that was the last time that Lara ever saw her best friend at 2:47 a.m. Mother Anna was parted to nearby garage waiting to pick up Lily and Lara she phoned Lily and

    Told her to get a move on Lily told her that she was on her way and will be with her in just a couple of minutes the phone call then ended abruptly Mother Anna tried calling back but there was no answer this was unusual Lily never hung

    Up on her mom but Anna could maybe put this down to just a drop in Signal she was coming from a club after all leaving a club is often a pretty hectic scene if I remember correctly while Anna was waiting for Lily she founded her friend

    But she said that Lily was no longer with her and that she herself was staying with her grandparents Anna attempted to call her daughter 30 more times but each time the call went to voicemail we can only imagine the Panic Rising within her at around 3:10 a.m.

    Anna noticed a man walking by acting suspiciously he was shaking his head and then holding his head in his hands Anna decided to follow the path that he was taking she was just curious but soon she lost sight of him he lost her as he headed down towards a wooded area Anna

    Had no idea at that moment that the person she had been watching was the very same man who had just murdered her daughter only moments before she began driving around the local area to search for Lily but she eventually went home she lived in hope that her daughter had

    Gone to stay at a friend’s house she did however continue to send text messages to Lily’s phone praying that when she did wake up there would be an apologetic reply and a really good explanation but as we know this sadly would never come in the early hours of the morning lewiis

    Haynes returned to the home he shared with his girlfriend he was crying hysterically and kept repeating take me to my mom I need to speak to my mom on the way there he confessed to killing someone he said I’ve strangled somebody they’re in mil Pond I’ve been in mil

    Pond Lewis told his parents how he had met Lily at the nightclub and told them what he had done Lewis’s dad then drove to the pond where sadly he found Lily at around 4:00 a.m. on December the 17th the police were called to the mil Pond area after receiving a call from Lewis’s

    Dad he told them that a female body had been found in the water she was found with her cream lace top removed it was found next to her in the water her brown leather jacket and her phone were found in the alley nearby the police and the ambulance service arrived but despite

    Their resuscitation attempts Lily was was already gone when police attended Lewis’s home he told them I strangled her he was arrested for murder and taken to the police station he then frustratingly gave a no comment police interview but he later gave a statement in this statement he said he had met

    Lily for the first time on that night he said that he couldn’t recall Lily’s age ever being mentioned but he remembered his friend saying that he had a daughter and a partner at home he explained that the pair had sat on a wall chatting after they left the club they then

    Kissed and Lily had suggested that they go back to his house he explained that it wasn’t possible as he had a girlfriend he then alleges that Lily said he would tell his girlfriend that he had violated her he said that he tried to walk away but she was hitting

    His back and saying she was going to ruin his life saying that his daughter would now will be ashamed of him he said he lost it and grabbed Lily’s neck and threw her sideways this caused her to go into mil Pond he said he tried to lift

    Her out but by that time she was a dead weight he thought that she was now dead so he went home LS Haynes was charged with Lily Sullivan’s death on December the 20th in May 2022 Lewis Haynes pleaded guilty to manslaughter and he was du to stand trial for murder on June

    The 20th however he changed his plea to guilty on the charge of murder on the 13th of June this was due to the overwhelming evidence against him during his trial Lewis had admitted to strangling but insisted that the attack was not carnally motivated he also

    Stated that he had gone into the pond to try and save Lily but the prosecution argued differently there was bruising to Lily’s left eye her cheek lower jaw and upper neck there was reading near her collarbone her left arm was scratched and her right arm was bruised there was

    Also tiny spots of bleeding under the skin these were consistent with manual strangulation he hadn’t just grabbed her neck and thrown her into the pond this was an altogether different kind of attack and the judge agreed before sentencing Lewis he said I’m sure a degree of intimacy occurred in the alley

    I’m equally sure it did not progress to intercourse or anything close to it I’m sure that did not happen as Lily did not want that to happen there was no indication of distress but a clear indication she was now coming to meet her mother that phone call ended

    Abruptly she did not want the intimacy between her and Louis Haynes to go as far as intercourse I am sure from the evidence that Lily did not remove her top voluntarily to be naked in the middle of the night in December I am sure Mr Haynes took it off her his

    Account of her threatening to tell people what he had done with her does in fact have an element based in truth I find she did say she would complain not that he had actually red her because he had not but because he had tried to force for himself upon her against her

    Will the court heard that Lewis had a great deal to lose because he was in a relationship and he was going through Family Court proceedings to have access to his child he felt threatened that Lily could impact the outcome and so he wanted to silence her the judge said he

    Throttled Lily to prevent her from telling people that he had tried to get her to go further than she was willing his intention was to silence her he did want anyone to know what had happened in the alley the judge then stated you brutally murdered Lily Sullivan because

    You wanted intercourse you strangled her face to face she must have been terrified an 18-year-old girl alone in the dark with a powerful man entirely at your mercy and you showed her absolutely none you were only concerned about your self-preservation he sentenced Haynes to 23 years before

    He will be eligible for parole a sentence that falls short of Lily’s mother Anna called Lis pure evil she said that she would never forgive him for what he’s done she stated overwhelmingly I feel it’s all so senseless it didn’t need to happen what I can’t come to terms with is that the

    Man who killed Lily knew I was waiting for her and passed me by the garage he chose not to help he did nothing which I can’t forgive do you think the punishment fits the crime here what do you think could be done to avoid something like this happening again in

    The future please do let me know down in the comments be careful out there and I’ll see you soon

    1. In the US, a minor cannot receive the death penalty, nor can the mentally ill. Also, intellectually challenged cannot receive the death penalty. So, Alyssa was not up for the death penalty.

      As an American, I find the justice system confusing, concerning the death penalty. Justice is supposed to be equal, yet some states have the death penalty, while others do not…And, if you have found, by DNA evidence (that cleared the wrongfully convicted person post mortem), that you have put people to death, why would you continue to do so?

    2. I had a horribly abusive childhood and issues with substances but I never killed anyone especially not my best friend. Also that case really bothers me because they had the murder weapon, DNA, accounts from the uncle and other friend but went with a crappy plea deal because they had no time line?? Make that make sense.

    3. Dude…your voice is miserable. I’m sorry. You don’t have to sound like you’re narrating a horror movie. Your vocal pattern is very repetitive. Soften your voice. Bless these poor people who lost their lives. But I only made it 20 minutes in this video.. I know this is just my opinion and that’s ok.

    4. "His IQ is less than a Dolphin’s" that smooth interjection had me creasing. Louise was failed, child services should always be involved when a child is moving house with a male present. Shane is clearly a nonce and I don’t trust that silly cow. I think she’s as guilty as he is and she should have gone down for neglect. You know when your husband is being a nonce. She had an obligation to keep her safe. Everything he did to her points to a violent sexual attack, and even the damage to her stomach. The final terrible insult being setting her alight. This dumber than a dolphin really thinks some other nonce is going to find her and interfere with her and then set her alight? Most offenders don’t like to share and they would have no motivation to inflict further injury. Basic psychology. He made no attempt to truly hide Louise, he wanted her humiliated. He wanted to destroy her so no one else could have her. Using fire as a means of concealment of sexual crimes serves two purposes, destroy evidence and destroy the victim. Strangers don’t usually do that in sexually motivated homicides. That’s an intimate act, they know the face and they want to erase it. I do not know how he could have managed a fire hot enough to burn a body but nobody saw smoke. Unless he had localized the fire to specific areas of her body. 

      How many excess deaths of women and girls were a result of lockups? I’d be interested if they kept numbers on that or if they were all lumped in as coof cases. Someone needs to answer for this. DV calls spiked everywhere, how could they not. Lockdown left people already in danger little chance of surviving or escape. The British government and that stupid Muppet, Boris needs to answer for that, considering rules didn’t apply to him and all. 

      Biological Women are murdered at a rate of 137 a day worldwide. I’d like to see what the numbers were for lockdown. I believe the UK has 5 femicide cases a week. I’m getting off track. Lockdown is partly to blame for Louise’ death, CJ bears responsibility and whoever was in charge of her care plan. She had her whole life ahead of her. I hope that nonce has a miserable time in jail. I hope he lives in constant fear, every minute of every day and I hope his cell accidentally gets left unlocked for an hour or so. He stole her life from her, and he stole her right to have loving hands hold her. The last people to hold her were strangers, and the cruelty of that only adds to his awful acts.

      Louise didn’t deserve this; no victim deserves this, but sexually motivated crimes against children are always the most egregious. There is no forgiveness to be had for these monsters.

    5. "Public figure". Lmao! Where does she get her info from!!??
      In the eyes of the law, public figures are usually politicians or celebrities, who have limited rights to claim that they've been libeled or defamed, thanks to a 1964 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    6. These cases are certainly DARK…The victims didn't deserve their lives taken and some were in such horrible ways…Men who were manipulating creeps, raping children, then trying to put the blame on their victims and making them out to be ' loose ' or asked for it!…🤮🤮🤮…The teenagers committing murderous acts, through plain jealousy, hatred or manipulation from adult Men…It's sad, because they were still kids, whose lives were ruined…Imagine knowing something/someone was responsible for multiple deaths and you were forced to apologize, to that person, because they cried ' bullying '…I hope the Trust is investigated further and the Nurse involved never is released…The Hermann family…SHOCKING!…From the dispatcher to the Sheriff, SHOCKING SHOCKING SHOCKING!…Thing's could have been different, had those two ' key ' people taken the woman callers concerns SERIOUSLY!…Also that child would not have been RAPED repeatedly…How do those two IDIOT'S sleep at nights?…As for the 🐷, why is he still breathing?…

    7. Sickening to think that Cheyenne girl will be out in 2024! How screwed up. All of these are screwed up but I mean people sit in jail longer for marijuana yet this girl can get away with murder basically. 7 years big whoop.

    8. The guidelines for whether a person is beyond evil and beyond absolutely wicked is astounding. Their outward appearance or are they educated nationality kind of family where they live their upbringing etc.. are not what should be considered in every case but evidence is the point and in this case there was plenty with the first baby. Massive brainwashing of who and who would not commit such a horrid horrific horrible inhumane caveman animalistic heathenistic act against another human is unfathomable regardless of age because age does not determine if that's a child because no matter what age we all are somebody's child. Look in the eyes of a Mother or Father when given the news of their loss and you'll see no sign of age in their suffering just unbearable unbelievable pain.

    9. I'm so tired of all these killers using their trauma from childhood as a cop out. My father was abusive, beating my mom, me and my brothers, except when she would take the beatings for protecin us. I could go on and about how badly my childhood was but It would take a book. Except I don't treat my kids anything like that. I vowed when I was little that I would give my children the childhood I never had…. It's just another tactic to not take responsibility

    10. Sorry Andrew ma bad it's only
      Dani absalutely love him as I love

    11. Sadly we live in a world where insanity is no longer treated but now accepted with this diversity BULL$HIT. We have men and women who "believe" that they are the opposite sex than what they actually are or scientifically are, and we are supposed to "accept" that and be "diverse". To live or believe a lie or live in a world of nonreality certainly is not sane but is factually insane. It was beyond clear that this woman had – Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

      – The term schizophrenia was coined by Eugen Bleuler in 1911 to describe a group of severe mental illnesses.

      – The scientific name for schizophrenia is schizophrenia.

    12. It sure sounds like the girls got into Meth. Such a nasty drug from my understanding. It makes people very paranoid. There was a case in my County and three girls got paranoid of the fourth being an informant. They beat her up and stuffed her in a barrel. They were returning to the barrel and were dismembering her little by little, throwing the parts in the river. The girls got 50 years.

    13. It would solve a lot of problems concerning such varying sentences if the law was mandatory life for life. If not the death penalty then life in prison. I hear he got 7 years, 15 years, etc. it would be interesting to see if the murder rate decreased with a mandatory life sentence.

    14. Daniel forgives himself by telling himself that they did him wrong so he'd get revenge on both of them by killing her and setting him up to take the fall. No remorse whatsoever. Not one person believes he didn't do it!

    15. Umm Saskatoon doesn't have a lush forest anywhere near by, like shown in the picture. Saskatoon doesn't have all that beautiful scenery either. It is a much nicer and cleaner city than Regina.

    16. It seems that more and more serious crimes are being committed by kids who are not yet old enough to make a major purchase on their own or to vote, and yet they end the life of a best friend or an ex-girlfriend. We seem to be raising kids who absolutely cannot take no for an answer and who think that the way to solve any problem is to pick up "a sharp implement" and stick it in someone causing a loss of all their "red bodily fluid". BTW, the way YT makes us describe someone being s**t or sta****d and the contortions we must go through to talk about how someone has been "unalived", is downright stupid. If they don't want children to read graphic details of a crime, make true crime stories available only to people over a certain age. This has reached the point where it is ridiculous.

    17. The story regarding Louise and Shane Mayes is awful. Although having an I.Q. the same as a dolphin isn't an excuse to harm others. Much love and healing to all ❤

    18. What parents let some twenty something stay in the same house as their 12 year old daughter without keeping an eye on the situation, I never had a daughter but I was just as careful with my son.I would never allowed a man to stay in the same house as my child. Regardless of the circumstances.

    19. I love how they blanked out the cat’s face in the Story of Louise 3 story.

      I imagine, I, have a rampant imagination, the following situation.

      The horror of that cat’s family to see one of their own furry family members on YouTube of all places involved in a murder. Ohhh, the shock on that poor cat’s mum. Sorry couldn’t resist.

    20. The real hero here is the manager of Dairy Queen who went into the home by breaking a window to get in & alerted police about the blood inside! Hoffman would have burned the home down by then, had the police not came after her 2nd call. They’d have lost all of the pertinent evidence.
