Jill Dando was known as TV's Princess Diana, and in the 90s, she was one of the biggest names in the UK.
Tragically, her life was cut short on April 26, 1999, when she was shot dead in broad daylight outside her London home.
As a BBC presenter on the Six O'clock News, Holiday, and Crimewatch, she was loved by thousands and her death sent shockwaves across the country. It became the largest murder investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police, since the hunt for The Yorkshire Ripper.
There were so many theories surrounding her sudden murder. Did it have something to do with her work on Crimewatch? Was she the victim of a Serbian professional hitman? Or was the whole thing just part of a massive BBC cover-up?
A year after her murder, they charged Barry George, a bit of a local oddball, based mostly on this single particle of gunshot residue found in his coat. He spent eight years in prison before they acquitted him.
Now, there’s a twist. After 25 years, the police may finally have a new lead. Their new suspect is a convicted Serbian assassin named Milorad Ulemek. He matches the descriptions of a mystery man seen near Jill's home on the day she was killed.
Could this finally solve the mystery of who killed Jill Dando?

😂 she did well! Good job Eleanor ❤
If I watch any more of your videos, I am going to start speaking in a British accent 😂
I binge watch your channel too often 😅
i fucking cackled 😂💀👹
Urban wtf 😂
Sammme 😂😂😂
OMG I can’t believe you’re covering this!!! The man that got prosecuted for it I met him by accident outside of my student accompdation we were both waiting for the bus. He started talking to me and opened up the convo to show me a news article on his arrest! I was freaked tbh
Was he like serious or bragging? I would have been so scared
Omg that’s so scary
He obviously isn’t right in the head, he’s an oddball, but it also doesn’t mean he’s guilty
@@bloochoob yeah no he defo seemed to be a bit off in the head but yh. Still watching episode though so idk what’s mentioned in this lol
oop 😳 that’s wild
PLEASEEEE cover princess dianas case. Like I’m literally BEGGING 🥲🥲
Is there any more to know about Diana's death than is already in the public domain though?
Didn’t she cover it already?
Why? It's been talked about so much. Just let her rest in peace.
@@lucysutton7420probably not but tbh I’ve never looked into her death. I basically know nothing about her so I’d love for Eleanor to say everything that happened and compile that into one video
@@her7450there isn’t really anything to cover literally Diana case is very small and if you wanna know search a video about her Diana
Jill went through so much. My son was also born with two holes in his heart, and he was blue too. He would have to choose between breathing and drinking bottles. He would wheeze 24/7 and could barely sleep. At 6 months old he also had open heart surgery and he became a brand new baby. He and his twin brother will be 4 in July and he is just the same size and has the same amount of energy as his twin. I’m so proud of him. Jill, rest in peace. You were given a second chance to live and someone took that away... it’s not fair.
Im so halpy that your son could get the surgery to save him 🥰
Blue? Could someone explain
@@blueboozle774 yes I can explain. They quite literally turn the color blue. That is the color that someone can turn whenever they have a lack of oxygen/ in their blood flow. It’s terrifying to witness 💔
@@Kwaaz12thank you so much. I just got done having a tickle fight and tbh I can’t even help but tear up a little bit. I am so blessed. The doctors and nurses did a phenomenal job.
During his procedure, we stayed at a place that was a 2 minute drive away from the hospital called the “Ronald McDonald House” they gave us free gas, money, food, free housing, free clothes, and quite literally anything else we could ever ask. These days I donate to them any time I possibly can through the little change jar at the McDonald’s drive thru. They helped save my son’s life! I’m so blessed. I am grateful every single day.
@@ash_tray thank you a lot, that must have been painful , I’m glad your son is doing much better

Ellie, as a 52 year old mom, I have to say you are the most gracious person when explaining to new generations what communications and internet-less life was like😂
That is a nice compliment to one who is so young!
I turned 40 last month and feel 80 when ppl describe the days of dial up or before everyone had phones lol. Where did all the time go, it went so fast.
@@mousemd Agreed. Even though I'm 41 and have used and seen fax-machines used a few times in my life, mostly as a kid, when at my mom's work, the way she explained the process was spot-on and would totally make sense for someone that has never seen or heard of a fax machine.
@@xtina6569 aww yeah, dial-up internet was the worst...
am i the only member of gen z that has actually seen and understands fax machines 😭😭😭 there’s no way
i love how she doesn't just talk about the death. ive seen so many people treating muder victims as an interesting story and not people. its why i love this channel so much
So i’m american, and when she was explaining what BBC meant, I JUST now realized what ABC means…i am too for far in my life to just now realize this
this comment just made me realise
I’m confused can u explain this pls I need to know
@@meganferguson2977 ABC is an American tv channel and when she was explaining BBC i realized ABC means American broadcasting company.
Dudddde 😅
I’m so glad I’m not alone in this lol 😭
to add to the sleeper spy theory, it would make sense that the police were reluctant to investigate suspects if they already knew the perpetrator was a spy and therefore wasn't any of the other potential suspects. they can't openly admit to letting a spy infiltrate england and murder a public figure, but also shouldn't put an innocent man in jail just to cover it up. so instead they play it dumb.
however, the constant pressure from the media and the public likely pushed detectives to find someone to take the blame: someone that could fit the stalker stereotype, someone that would struggle to defend themselves in court, someone that could be easily portrayed as a violent outcast that the public were bound to dislike.
The clarification of what BBC stands for made me giggle a little 😂
i didnt even realise why she had to clarify but... 😭😭😭
😂😂 you listen to case files & reports while you do chores like the rest of us do to YOUR stories while we do our chores😂😂
LITERALLY
Ur so real for this
Inception
I listen to them while I'm at work, I stock a grocery store 3rd shift so it makes the time pass as I'm putting products into the shelf all night 😅
For real
I’m not usually a big “it was a hit man” believer, but damn the way she was killed really does sound like a hit. My problem with Barry being the killer is that he seemed to be a potential sexual predator (the stalking, hiding in bushes with rope and a knife) and I don’t think he would have just killer her quickly, it’s not really a match to his type of crimes. Allegedly.
The un-usual disclaimer took me by surprise! It feels very appropriate for the channel. A fitting tonal shift.
It’s honestly a bit of a jarring change for me as I know her original disclaimer by heart

@@rx500androidhahaha same!!
Would you consider covering the brutal murder of my previous teachers at Malmölatinskolan, Victoria Edström and Sara Böök and also the outrageous claims of the defence lawyer, Anders Elison, trying to explain away the planned attack with autism which was enraging, then the murderer Fabian Cederholm, 18 years old, a student at the school.
They were killed at a place where they should've been able to feel safe..and so brutally taken as well, I think it was with an axe if I remember correctly..
It's a Swedish case so it isn't really talked about much internationally..but not even in Sweden anymore which just breaks my heart because it just feels so forgotten and that doesn't feel fair whatsoever!
It has been two years now since it happened and I've graduated, which feels very weird to say.
I've managed to get through and graduate and leave a lot of the trauma behind thankfully but it still affects me and many people to this day. I think it has affected me a lot because my friend was a room away from where it happened, made you think, it could've been her, could've been me, could've been anyone, but I was also home that day.. I don't know but for a long time I wish it had been me. Even though I wasn't there I often got vivid images of the attack in my head and got a lot of trauma from it and I'll be honest probably didn't get enough support because I was already struggling to be in school so wasn't too noticed when it took about 6 weeks to be able to get to a lesson. Though the school was doing their best with what they knew because they weren't prepared for something like this, how could they?
Might sound selfish but also for some sort of closure..? This case has really affected me, I think also because my friend was literally right next to where it happened, it could have been her, it could have been anyone..at times I even wish it had been me.... I for some reason was home that day.
Either way it's been really hard and I think it could bring quite a bit of peace knowing people are talking about them and sharing their story.
Not only do their names and stories deserve to be known I think you could learn a lot from the case.
Like how to prevent these things from happening and also to learn what to do if you ever got into a situation like this at school and how to support the students and teachers as much as possible.
And I'd be more than glad to help out if you needed inside stories or translation help. Hope you would consider it at least. And I'd gladly help with translation or with inside information. I know I've rewritten and posted this comment a lot it would just really mean a lot to me and I hope you can at least consider it.
Much love x
(And for those wondering, yes, I have made a video case request.)
:O never heard of this case, when did it happen??
@@shanablack5737 2 years ago now, on the 21st of March.
I think you could also request it from Rotten Mango, I don’t know how to do that but I’m recommending her cause she works on a lot of international cases from different parts of the world all the time to shed light on the victims so she’d be a good option to request this from, she also goes in depth and tells the stories with attention to detail and full respect to the victims. She even makes sure to have researchers and translators from the origin country of the case as well as even sometimes interviewing victim’s loved ones for more insight.
@@fadak3163 I second Rotten Mango if Eleanor doesn’t cover this
Definitely request this for Rotten Mango!! She recently covered a requested case I was requesting too.
As an American, I learned what Head Boy and Head Girl was in Harry Potter....lol
Does anyone else find it soo weird that not only do Jill and Princess Diana look very similar, Jill was known as TV’s version of princess Dianna, They were similar in age and they also Died only 2 years apart. Like that is something that has just always blown my mind.
*Edit* - (omg, I knew they were similar in age but just found out Jill was 37 when she died and that is how old Princess Diana was when she died as well. (If I’m not mistaken) so that is yet another similarity. So now my mind is now even more blown than it already was.)
I remember when Princess Diana died and I remember when Jill Dando died. I was only young but remember it very well. And I just can’t believe how long it has been. Scary to think how fast time actually goes.
Princess Diana was 36.
They are born in the same year.
And people speculate diana was murdered too
@@debidehm9129 a you are correct, my mistake.
But they where born in the same year (PD July 61 - JD Nov 61) and the fact that they were more or less the same age give or take x amount of months really does just blow my mind. The constant similarities between them are just crazy.
And like someone else mentioned, a lot of people believe Princess Diana was murdered as well. Which I believe also, personally.
But, yeah thank you for the correction. As Princess Diana was 36 not 37.
Not really about the way they looked, that was the style at the time even my mum who had waist length dark hair got highlights and that cut everyone looked like that 😂
I was born in Yugoslavia and lived through that war... the horror of it...
What was day to day life like?
This case effected so many people emotionally, especially around the area. She was so beloved.
Affected not effected
@@MrYorickJenkinswho cares??
@@MrYorickJenkins did you really feel the need to correct my grammar? No need to be a jerk
@@MrYorickJenkins I was talking about a woman who was beloved, and killed, and I made a faux pas.... Did you feel better correcting my grammar?
@@MrYorickJenkins either way, you were wrong
Whilst I understand the reasoning for the retrial (the gunpowder residue), I’m still shocked that he was found not guilty. Surely the fact that he was spotted in the area, was a known stalker, tried to arrange an alibi with the taxi company, and was once found in Princess Diana’s bushes with a hunting knife, surely all of the circumstantial evidence was strong enough to convince the jury that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt! Or I am a missing something?
the pictures of women as well - it's all really concerning behaviour. Hopefully after getting out he got some help, but based on the circumstantial evidence points to him being potentially dangerous
None of this proves or suggests that he was the killer though. All it shows is that he was capable of creepy behaviour towards women. If anything it points towards him being a sex offender - NOT a ruthless gunman.
Jill's murder was apparently completed in under a minute after she arrived at her home. There was no altercation and no real struggle before the killing. Pretty much everyone agrees that the killing was not sexually motivated.
@@stephenbain389 I don't think it proves he is the gunman, but I do think it shows he has the potential to he someone dangerous. So I hope he got some help either in person or after release 🙏🏻
@@hchorrorshowyes it shows he is a potential danger, but that's as far as it goes.
There was nothing concrete that linked Barry George to either Jill or the murder. For someone who stalked women, took photos of women and was obsessed with celebrities there were no photos of Jill's house itself or any letters or flowers addressed to Jill.
George may have been a local weirdo but the case against him sounded at best weak and vague.
Those are all EXTREMELY circumstantial to the point that it would be unethical for them to find him guilty wtf
THAT JAMES BULGER ONE WAS HORRIFIC
It still disturbs me to this day and only a few cases make me cry like that. RIP poor baby James
I agree!! My daughters were born in 1995 & 1996 and they never went anywhere without reins on, if we went out in public, until they were around 3 - 4 and even then I was so strict with them, as to how they walked along side me! Poor Denise Bulger (now Fergus), let go of James’ hand, for just a few seconds, to get her purse out, to pay the butcher and James was gone!! It was an horrific murder, made worse, because of the age of the perpetrators!! I get upset, every time I hear about it!!
I don't understand how ANYONE could do that to a child, let alone a couple of ten year old kids.
PLEASE do a whole video on princess diana that would be everything!!
Jill was such a bad ass, one of the coolest women in recent history . if she was still here with us, i know she wouldve accomplished so much more. she is still such a huge inspiration and her work has provided so many of us with the courage to achieve what we want in life. i hope shes resting easy knowing she will not be forgotten anytime soon
I saw the notification and i was like: "Is it spooky friday?"
Freaky Friday and no lol
@@christinac2652it's friday for me lol
I thought it was Freaky Friday toooooo. I bet it’s hard af to find cases to cover for that particular (genre)?
@@melaninandaura9713well isn't freaky Friday just a series where she talks about basically anything she wants that doesn't fit into her regular videos?

I would love for you to cover the case of princess diana it has plenty of conspiracies about her death and it would just be amazing to dig into!
YES!!! I would love that!
agreed!!
Omg this 👏🏾
Me Too💯💯
im surprised she hasn't already, would deff love to hear her cover it
tbh as a serbian, the sleeper agent theory is crazy. the country was in shambles internally and most they could do at that time is make threats. i think the ex hired a hitman.
and yes, slobodan killed journalists- domestic ones. she wasn't the only famous foreign journalist to call attention to the situation and i don't think she'd be a primary target
Exactly 😭 serbian sleeper agents? Girl thats too fancy for us
Bruh exactly, Slobodan had other problems to worry about at that time than some british journalist talking about Kosovo
as an albanian from kosovë, the sleeper agent theory is the one i believe the most. maybe its the bias lmao
@@mrsbearz i get the bias but that would be too fancy for us as someone above said lol
If it was tito then it would make more sense
Every time I hear about this case I think about John Walsh. Two legends in the true crime community. One whose career began as an unsolved true crime case, the other ended as one.

Eleanor, you made a comment at 28:16 when you said, it's like a class. You are a teacher because I learn a lot when watching your videos. I saw a true crime episode about James Bulger (sp?). It is a devastating story that stuck with me for the longest time. Mainly for what they did to young James but, the age of the perps. I have 2 sons, so it hit too close to home for me. I know you mentioned if someone said you were beautiful like Princess Diana you would be extremely happy. I think you look a lot like Princess Fergie when she was younger. I wish I could post the picture that I am speaking of. You also have the same look as me in my early 20's but you are so much prettier than I ever was. Thank you for all the research that you do for your videos. Your dedication shows through your work!!!
My grandfather lived 92 years with a hole in his heart
I was a teen in the 90s and YES after Columbine, both dark music and trench coats were highly criticized and seen as suspicious, to an absurd degree. A kindly monk could have been seen in a trench coat and people would have crossed the street. It was wild.
Same! I was a teen in the Bible Belt at the time and the trench coat fear crossed over with the remnants of the satanic panic in disturbing ways. I remember locker searches and bomb squads after it was found out that some of us went to a Metallica concert.
I love that your videos are slowly getting longer and longer. I’ve been manifesting this for years

My second son had a medium hole in his heart, doctors found there was an issue on his 6 week check. Then it was lots of test, then monitoring and he had the hole patched up at 4 years old. Scary as hell as a parent but it is amazing what they can do. My son is 18 and other then checks every 4-5 years and the advice of doctors to never smoke or have tattoos or piercings its all normal after, oh and the massive scar down your chest.
I’m glad your son is ok! I’m genuinely curious do doctors recommend not getting tattoos or piercings due to the health risk of getting them or something else? That’s really interesting
Why no tattoos or piercings? AFAIK they have nothing to do with heart conditions so I’m genuinely curious why they’d say that specifically and not other things
@@Ghostface13139there’s not really a health risk for your heart though, not any more than drinking, having rambunctious sex with strangers, playing sports, or jumping out of planes, none of which they told him
I remember this. I couldn’t believe how anyone could do this to Jill Dando.
This is such a fascinating case, and I'm so glad you're covering it with your care and nuance. You really give the victims a voice and let us get a feeling for who they were, and I really appreciate that.
Faxes - We still have a fax machine at my work that rarely gets used, but it still is there. I am right in the age bracket where I grew up with the first computers so I know what fax machines are and how they work but never really used one very often. But I have NEVER heard it referred to as a "old text message" and that is quite possibly the most BRILLIANT comparison I've heard.
I heard that the reason nobody heard a gunshot was because it was pressed so close to her head that her head absorbed most of the sound.. so sad
If you cover Diana, please show her as the complicated and complex woman she was, not just the myth of her being sweet and kind and charming. she was those things. but she was also difficult, manipulative, had multiple affairs of her own. she was a shining beautiful light for a lot of causes, but she was more than that. she was a whole complicated person. please show the whole Diana, not just the sweet angel pie
(coup is pronounced coup)
Unfortunately on so many of these cases the person telling the case gives glowing reviews of the person (ie: the person “lit up a room” etc.). I do agree though it would be so interesting to watch a real telling about the real Diana. She was loved and that won’t change, but she was human with human flaws and not so nice sides.
Jill was visiting her Gowan avenue home every week on a Monday morning at around 10/1030 am , her fiancé stayed there with her a week previously. Anybody could've pick up on this routine. The random version is bs from Hamish Campbell's blinker visionary on Barry George. If you listen to Richard Hughes , Jill's immediate neighbour. He stated in the reconstruction it was Jill's time home. He heard her distinctive car alarm. This explains why a man was hanging around an hour earlier, Jill was particularly late that morning by an hour almost. He was acting agitated as she hadn't turned up at her normal time.
Coup is pronounced "coo," the p is silent ❤
I struggle to understand how the police cleared Bob Wheaten so quickly. He owed Jill 35,000 pounds and showed he had the money. However, he had not attempted to pay Jill back. That to me is suspicious, not proof he didn't have her killed. They had been separated for years and yet he had not settled his debt. Could he have been jealous Jill was moving on without him? Was he upset she was now talking of marrying, settleing down and starting a family?
Would you want to pay your ex that much, even if you had the money? I’d draw it out until someone made me 😂 maybe that makes me a crap ex but it doesn’t make me a murderer
i was just a child when this happened. i remember it like it was yesterday, shook my whole town.
I always think of this case and how her life was just ended in broad daylight.. awful.
Theory you can take with a grain of salt - Jimmy Saville hired the hit (didn't have to be the entire BBC in on it) because Jill Dando could've found out or was close to finding out about what he was doing. The hitman could've been a Serbian hitman, and given the professional work of hitmen and the people who hire them, the person seen wearing a trench-coat and the angry guy in the car were diversions. And Jon Roseman being her agent might've brought it up to someone from the BBC that she would be going back to her home that day to pick up her faxes (or she mentioned it herself - after all, if her killer or the person who hired her killer knew, they probably wouldn't tell the police they knew). Of course, it could be people being posted around her home or being followed from her fiancé's home in a car (or if diversions were ready, multiple different cars). Regardless, if they knew she wasn't home often, maybe they expected less witnesses - add that with diversions and it's even harder to link to an unaffiliated assassin. But eh, just a far-fetched random theory.
*For all those born post 2000 :*
please take a moment to google, with volume on, what a fax machine sounds like if you accidentally call one…..
YES! Cover Princess Diana for one of your shows. I am the exact age she would be and it was great to live through the Diana Years. You will have so much to cover. RIP to Jill and Diana. Tragic.
Nothing better then crocheting and watching Eleanor talk about true crime cases XD
I think her agent should be investigated more. He was the only one who knew she was going to her house and they let him off just cos he was a charming guy and he swore he had no beef with her?
The timing of the kill had to be so exact, since she just showed up at her house and the killer was already prepared. No sign of struggle or forced entry. Allegedly no sign of someone stalking her. So how would the killer know to camp at her house?
this is perfect timing i was just coming to watch more cases
My daughter has congenital heart disease. She had a critically stenosised bicuspid aortic valve. She had 3 balloon cath procedures that got us to 8 months old until open heart surgery. She is now turning 7 in 2 weeks. She is a normal kid ,no meds. She however will need intervention and valve replacement through her whole life but right now she is great.
Honestly i love just putting elanore's videos on in the background of doing stuff, her voice is really comforting tk me and the cases are interesting in themselves-! I havent finished this video yet but im already intrigued
I live in Weston super mare and we have a Jill Dando remembrance garden in the park in the Center of town. When it first opened thousands of people came to see it. I really hope this lead goes somewhere. X
Reflecting on Jill's story, it's heartbreaking to think that her opportunity for a renewed life was so cruelly cut short. Both stories remind us of the preciousness of life and the importance of cherishing every moment we have, especially after overcoming such immense challenges. Your pride in your son is truly inspiring, and it echoes the bittersweet feelings that come with remembering those who have passed.
IM SO GLAD YOUR DOING THIS ONE WOW ITS WILD

I am sitting here watching this with my husband of 12 years. 14 years between us 😂😂😂
My parents are 14 years apart as well lollll
Love that crimewatch is back it's so useful it should never have been cancelled I remember some of those huge cases being talked about including Peter Tobin which was in my area
I was born with tetralogy of Fallot and double outlet right ventricle.... I was a blue baby too... I have had 6 heart surgeries... I have pig and cow valves in my heart to fix it, and a patch for the hole... I also have little tiny wires holding my ribs together from where they have had to be cut open... Pretty cool stuff. Don't need anymore surgeries though! Yay!!! Oh, and I also died once.... I have brain damage from complications from being on the heart lung machine for so long and many many times. I have damaged vocal chords... from being intubated too many times and improper removal of them... Love my life now though and honestly I wouldn't trade it for anything... also have scoliosis… but I’m perfectly imperfect.
Great video, as always!!!
please cover princess diana!! i’m a silent viewer who has watched you for years. love your videos ellie
I so so so appreciate the time and effort you and your team put in these video's. I love the fact that you cover every important detail of a case, so we have the full picture.
I am kind of surprised you didn't mention that the bullet used to kill Jill Dando had been altered to use a smaller charge, likely to make it subsonic. This is usually done because most of the noise a gun makes is the actual bullet breaking the sound barrier and when combined with a silencer can make a weapon as quiet as a movie silencer.
It also speaks of a lot of knowledge about gun 'science', the cartridge that you are firing, your ability to craft ammo, and is in general not something that you would expect from anyone in Britain who is not on the government's payroll as an actual assassin. It is standard ammo for ex-Yugoslav hitmen though...
genuinely i would love nothing more than a deep-dive about Princess Diana! i think you'd do a great job covering everything
Im actually surprised you’ve never seen a fax machine!! I was born 1999 (almost 25) & they are still used here in the US !!!
(I work at a bank and people come in to ask if we can fax for them more often than you’d think, I’ve even done it once or twice to other banking departments, most everything is digital now though!)
I was born in 1992 (31) and I remember my mom buying one late 90s / early 2000
born in 2004 here! i’m 20. i’ve seen a few in my grandparents home
I know the James bulger case is on this channel cause I went all the way back to your first video and watched every single one of your videos😂😂
My brother had the same surgery at 2 years old in 1989. That procedure had come such a long way by then, thank God. He’s great 35 years later. It is so heartbreaking when someone comes through something like that and is a fighter only to be taken away by murd*r.
This case really hits, my parents were friends with jill they became friends in the 80s when jill moved to devon. I spent many weekends at her house while my parents and their friends and children had game nights and drinks. She was absolutely lovely i remember her well. My parents remained friends until her passing. They had many conversations about her job offer in London and were so happy she took the leap. She was so lovely and caring my parents often speak of her to this day they lost a great friend the day she was taken ❤
So excited for this case, I read about it ages ago.
i would LOVE a princess Diana video!!!!
I cannot keep listening to true crime before I fall asleep.. the dreams I have when listening to this stuff is so scary.
If someone wants you to change your appearance for their approval, walk away. Or at least stand your ground and say flat-out that your body is your own, they don't get say anything, and for them to do so is entitled and controlling. If they bawlk at that, walk away.
perfect video to listen to while I drive to the airport!
You doing a Princess Diana deep dive would be amazing!!!
I would LOVE a Princess Diana deep dive.
And the gun didn't have a suppression device attached to it, the projectile/casing would've had a distinctive marking. The bullet was perforated, most likely emptied of gunpowder, then filled with cordite to lower gun sound bar and flash emissions. With cordite it dissipates the gunpowder odour. The crimping/folding was an individual design, not the conveyer belt manufacturer from Russia or Serbia.
I feel so bad for her :(
AHH I LOVE YOUU! this case is so sad. im always so excited for your posts💗🙏
Its weird how true crime reporters have fallen prey to mysterious deaths or as accused in real life. Same thing happened to Sohaib Iliyasi who reported real life crime show in India and was allegedly accused of his own wife's murder. Eleanor, may be you should cover this case too.
This is horrific
I just came across your channel, and this story is fascinating.
Being in my early 20s in the States and a new mom to boot at the time of these events, I have never heard this story, so please forgive me if there is information that is common knowledge in the UK that I don't know, but had anyone ever looked into the possibility that Barry George was activity stalking her and while creeping around her house that day accidently witnessed her murder?
If he was scared enough of the murderer or traumatized enough by the event, it would explain his bizarre behavior with the taxi company, possibly being identified as the trench coat guy and if he touched her after the assassin left it would explain the gun powder residue. I know this is a major theory with NO evidence or knowledge other than this video to go on, but it popped in my head.
Just came back from work, and I just started two days ago with this new job. Thanks for keeping me company ❤
A lot of studies say cracking your knuckles isn’t harmful. It’s moving like air bubble things. Some people (like me) have a condition where u need to crack things or they seize up
LMAOO “The- the student body president?” yes Eleanor you nailed it tbh that accent caught me off guard it was kinda good
Please do a Princess Di story. She was my hero!
‘The student body president’ 😂😂😂 it actually wasn’t bad. I couldn’t do a British accent if my life depended on it😂
I was born with the same congenital heart defect and I have to give so many thanks to science. So many people lost their children decades ago because of lack in medical technology. It’s amazing to hear the success stories, even though the device still doesn’t have a ton of research on long term effects. Also thank you for always telling the best stories, and making every video personable and enjoyable!😊
A Serbian subscriber here 🙋🏼♀️ Wow I had no idea about the recent developments regarding Ulemek being connected to this case (I've known about this case for a while), funny how I found out about them from you because that's not covered by the Serbian media at all. Serbia is a very corrupt country (even today) when it comes to government affairs, Ulemek is serving time for the assassination of our PM at the time and I remember the trial being televised and him claiming that he was actually good friends with the PM (there were a lot of connections between Ulemek and our government at the time, it is believed that he basically acted as a henchman, which makes sense when you look at his military history). I personally am torn on his role in the assassination of the PM, since it is possible that the PM himself had connections that would've wanted him gone. That aside, it is possible that Ulemek obeyed the task from the government and had something to do with Dando's murder. Definitely interesting, I'll look it up!
Im so happy your covering this case you are the one true crime youtuber I love to listen to
Nice to see you! I need this right now❤❤❤❤
Absolute YES to a Diana episode!
I can't believe it was 25 years ago.
I remember when it was absolutely scandalous that Jane Pauley was not only going to anchor the news through her pregnancy.. she cut her hair *gasp*!
Her being on TV while showing was a huge deal and debated for months. I’m not surprised Jill Dando faced the image demands she did. Shameful but normal for the time.
been binge watching your videos all week!!! love from South Africa xx
