My niece was brutally murdered in PA. Some, good ol’ boy ‘cops’ accused my sister of being hysterical and dismissed her cry’s for help. My sister and I tracked this guy-through his credit card purchases-and told the cops that he was in their area. They asked her if she saw “pink elephants” too. My 19yo niece was murdered a few days later. In her own home. With an order of protection (aka a piece of paper) lying on the kitchen counter. They were awful.

Just a lack of common sense. And furthermore, the neighbor told them that it sounded like someone was being choked. If someone was being choked my guess is they wouldn't be able to, at that point, respond back when they knocked.

[@Enough.Said.]

A better question is, what if it was their son, brother, uncle, father, or best male friend? Men seem to care about other men and themselves more than they care about the women in their lives. They do this because they can relate to each other and that seems to give them a human connection, where it is easy for them to see women as tools or nusances. We have to always deal with men with this in mind.

I'm going to just list some of my favorites and hope others consider doing the same, maybe we can all find new people to watch that way. Brittney Vaughn is not only great but is hilarious. She's got a great community, too, where we chat about books and cool items from small businesses. She always does bloopers at the ends of her videos and it's the funniest thing - as are her dogs. Bratterstein, great coverage and oftentimes will post super long compilations for people who need background noise in their lives. We love that. Stephanie Harlow, she's a bonafide baddie and deserves being in the top 3. So, so good! Jackie Flores, much like Rotten Mango, she's great at covering international cases many people haven't heard about. She oftentimes covers cases in Mexico. The Misery Machine, I feel like everyone knows them and we all know they're great. Jessica Anne, she's super slept on and I hope her following will soon match her coverage. I think she's only around 10k right now and it's been a pleasure watching her excitement as her audience grows. Sommer Sanchez, she covers crazy old stuff, cults and whatnot. It's past my bedtime or I'd list more. Hopefully there's at least one in there you haven't heard of. :)

Im not an american tax payer but I would rather my tax money went towards buying new doors for the false events than letting this happen.

I can not thank you enough for the compassion and empathy that you maintained throughout this entire video. I am a survivor of rape. I know what it feels like to not have anyone listen to you. It makes you feel alone and victimized. And worst of all, you begin to question yourself entirely. My rapist was never tried in a court of law. Despite the fact that I had handprint bruising on my inner leg areas. I was also told by the sexual assault nurse that my internal bruising was some of the worst she'd seen in her career. I had a wonderful detecrive that was very empathetic. He was even puzzled as to why the prosecutor chose not to take it to court. I become sick to my stomach when people say disgusting things about rape victims who do not speak up until many years after their rape has occurred. They are afraid of the scrutiny that they know they will be forced to face. When will society, law enforcement, and the judicial system stop revictimizing folks who have already been through the worst thing imaginable?

@@nicwelch seriously? Why ask something if you already think you have the answer? You think overturning Roe v Wade didn’t have the right to choose taken away from anyone? But everyone’s entitled to an opinion right?

Thank you for this channel and for spreading awareness--not only for the victims, but food for thought for those of us who don’t want to become victims ourselves.

I love your channel. Keep up the good work. Truly phenomenal ❤..love from Seattle

I love how I'm getting immediate notification when you post, 35 seconds! Happy Saturday, everyone!

[@ClaireRozier-xc7ys]

..I didn't get my notification until 7.25! - I was beginning to panic!! - my Saturday evening isn't complete until I have had my ' truly criminal 'fix!! - speaking of - I don't understand how the parents of this young lady could say they don't want the death penalty for him.. the way I see it is - their daughter did absolutely nothing wrong but ended up being violated and murdered why should her assailant be granted his life - even if it is behind bars ....

[@redrunner3536]

Best true crime channel. Well done, ladies. Keep them coming. Ill always be here.

Another fantastic video from TruCrim! I enjoyed the explanation of how data was used to reveal trends and connect things together. I spend more time in spreadsheets and databases than in the world. And so i think sometimes it's easier for me to see and understand the world as data. And so hey thanks! For doing that little data dive! Right on!

Why would a district attorney argue about the balcony window during a press conference? Prosecutors are some of the worst people

[@hsuanlin0227]

It’s extremely sad to see, this wonderful , talented young lady , whom can bring so much to this way . And lost her precious life because of a sick , disgusting thing .

[@lionelluva]

The police have to be held responsible for crimes like this. So many women suffered because the police refused to do their job.

[@Night-Jester]

*murder noises* Police - "Must have been the wind." Police vs Skyrim guards to see who tops who for incompetency. (In this case)

[@eadweard.]

What are Skyrim guards?

[@Night-Jester]

@@eadweard. Skyrim is a video game. The joke is basically when you're trying to be stealthy in a video game and the enemy notices you they forget about you in a minute because of bad Artificial intelligence and say it must have been the wind.

[@eadweard.]

@@Night-Jester Ohh, I see. Thank you.

Society needs to take rape as serious as murder . It is unacceptable the attitude towards it

[@ninascott-stoddart9031]

Thank you for your sensitive and clear retelling of this case.

[@MariBluethunder24]

If the police broke in she might have been a live jerks

[@ashleyquam]

The police should be ashamed of themselves. The killer was most likely still in her apartment as the door was closed at the patio when they were there she could’ve possibly even been alive. How could they take seven minutes to show up on the priority one call and then refused to go in after what the neighbors reported.

[@TS-rd7oy]

How are they ashamed? A bunch of males who dismiss and laugh at women's suffering

[@karendoherty1738]

Such great telling of horrific crimes...what amazing parents...

[@Areniapixie]

A minute in and I’m already infuriated! wtf we’re the police thinking?! I hope they live with the pain of their incompetence every day Oh and it just gets worse 😡

[@lisathomas627]

These poor women ,to be violated and dismissed by the people that are supposed to look out for you. They might have been able to save the Young lady life and caught him if they had listened,saving many more.This is why people don't report rape or s/a,they don't trust the police or legal system.Hope these women and families find peace.😢

[@Lucy-mf5gk]

It didn't occur to them it was quiet because she was dead or unconscious.

[@missindependent1973]

Oh, this pisses me off. A call comes in stating he heard a woman screaming “Help me”, the neighbour below heard a scuffle and the cops do NOTHING?? WTF is this?? 🤬

[@kal22222]

The public in general has no idea how uneducated and what little training most cops have.

[@MsAliemm]

Truly heartbreaking. What really drives me insane is the statute of limitations on crimes..in this case, five years for rape. For the victim, the impact of that rape doesn't magically disappear after five yeats. The system is giving the perpetrators a free pass after that passage of time...and with speed and urgency that many departments deal with these crimes it's literally almost guaranteed that they are home free no matter whst they do sexually. A friend of mine reported her rape, went through the added trauma of having a rape kit done, only to have it sit on a shelf waiting to be processed for the next 4 1/2 yrs. The serial rapist was caught and charged but not with her rape, it was just over the five yr mark and according to the system.... it hadn't happened. She is a much different person now 😥.

Thank you from your biggest fan in Seattle ❤️🙏🏿

[@lspbeautea4791]

Unbelievable! The police have blood on their hands. I can’t imagine how I would feel if I was one of the neighbours.

[@mxmmianaxo1160]

The amount of strength and courage the family have, is absolutely INCREDIBLE, I cannot find a word that describes them, after what the monster did, to their child, and not wanting him to get the death penalty, and to wish he has peace?! WOW, that is strength in itself, and just shows what kind of beautiful souls they are, R.I.P Shannon🙏🏾💔 I know she would be proud of her parents and family , my heart goes out to them ❤️

I'm from Philadelphia & "The Center City Rapist strikes again" was the dreaded reports. Rip 🕊🙏✨️❤ I even worked in C enter City. I'm saying this bcuz it was in 97-98 unbelievable. SUCH A MONSTER.
