      At 18 you hardly know what's going on in life and hence should still be in the protective home of your parents where you can receive solid guidance. These kids these days think they know it all at such a young and vulnerable age and hence find themselves in trouble and sometimes, it is deadly and tragic. May she RIP.

    • @LotusStitchandSketch
      @LotusStitchandSketch Před rokem +6

      it's kinda hard to explain it second-hand, it's one of those things you almost have to go through yourself to understand why. I was in an abusive relationship for 2 years because he had me feeling so horrible about myself to the point where I decided that his bad attention was better than no attention at all. He would say things like "you should be glad I pay attention to you in the first place because if I didn't NO ONE would" and "why do you even bother with make-up? It's not like it'll make you look any better" and he would constantly put me down and criticize me about stuff. I FINALLY had the courage to get a restraining order against him when my father walked IN ON the abuse. We'd gotten into an argument one day and he had raised his hand like he was going to hit me and obviously I had turned away from him so that at least he wouldn't hit me in the face. Neither of us realized that my father walked into the room until he shoved Tyler to the ground and threatened to kill him if he ever came near me again. He took me to the Police Station right then and there and they arrested Tyler for domestic abuse. At the time my self-esteem was so low that if he'd handed me a gun and told me to shoot myself I probably would have done it, that's how bad it had gotten by the time I was finally able to get out of the relationship. I was only 15 at the time it started and it was 2 years of absolute HELL.

In this case at least, we know that the attorney had even warned him about the trap, and still he was fooled.

    There’s something that seems quite wrong about the stealing of his car and secretly breaking into his house…not because they shouldn’t search it but how do you trust these police when they’re allowed to actually steal your things and break into your house. It’s very different to openly taking the car and searching the house…forget this case in particular; if I was on a jury and I found out the police had stolen the car and then lied about finding it as well as secretly going through his family home (regardless of whether they are allowed) I would be very hesitant to trust any evidence they claim to have found. It just sounds so snakey and I wouldn’t be able to trust their alleged evidence at that point. Having watched many of these videos, the Canadian police just don’t seem trustworthy to me. I don’t expect them to be open about everything but I feel like it makes some of their evidence very questionable. If you’re going to steal his car then why wouldn’t you just plant some evidence? If you really think he did it…what’s the harm right? Nothing specific about this case, but I just don’t like their tactics. I find them to be as untrustworthy as the criminals they are supposed to be better than.

      Yes, it was kept secret from the suspect but even if a warrant is shown to a suspect, they are not physically there to watch what is being looked at or photographed or ultimately found. So your suggestion that something nefarious is going on solely because the person is unaware of the search doesn’t really hold true.

      My guess is that he did it at night. probably had a lantern or large flashlight so he could avoid being seen. Gotta give him major props though for using an actual grave. First time I've ever heard of a killer doing that. Normally if there's a graveyard involved in the other cases I've heard of it's either the killer leaves the body in the graveyard but out in the open or they've desecrated a grave to steal the body that was already inside. Got to admit he was rather smart in that respect, since that's one place that police don't normally look for a murder victim since you'd already expect someone to be buried there unless there's suspicion of poison and that person is linked to the suspect and therefore potentially a victim themselves

    • @OddJames

      It's a common slip up I believe it's one of the Freudian slips but it's a red flag that they look out for when people talk about somebody in a past tense while everyone else including the police are still looking for them and talking about them and their current state it's a red flag to talk about them in a past tense outside of recalling a memory etc
      So if you've seen investigation or interrogation tapes people slip up with this and other Freudian slips all the time. Even body language speaks more volumes Than Words most of the time which is another good thing to look into. It's not admissible in court but when somebody tells you something and they stand strong that's confidence in what they just said when they say something and they immediately put them hands in their pockets or they cross their arms they're protecting themselves from the LIE they just said etc, people can get nervous and stuff like that so they always start off with a simple Baseline of questioning like what's your birthday where did you grow up to see how people react to those kinds of questions and compare that to more intense line of questioning and responses later. etc. cheers
      edit: my mom passed away a few months ago and she was my rock and I still talk about her as if she still alive it's natural and uncomfortable to talk about her in the past tense. I still don't want to accept it so my brain triggers my speech pattern to talk about her and what she does instead of what she did, death is really weird.
