Behind The Killer's Mask... | The Senseless Case of Jeffrey Hazelwood

In August 2016, the discovery of Carter Davis' and Natalie Henderson's bodies left the small city of Roswell in fear. And as investigations moved forward, all available evidence would lead them to the deranged and twisted mind of Jeffrey Hazelwood…

I went to school with Carter and was in the same graduating class. This happened the morning of the first day of senior year so the school gave him an honorary diploma at graduation. His younger sister walked the stage to receive it and there probably wasn't a dry eye in the whole place. He will be missed.

I remember that vividly. Carter and I were classmates in junior year, and while we weren’t friends he always treated me with decency and respect. Graduation felt somewhat somber seeing his sister going up to receive the diploma Carter was robbed of.

Hello, thank you for making this video. I was in marching band with Natalie (she was in color guard, but we all saw each other regularly). This completely affected not only myself mentally but our entire community of Roswell. I have never really felt safe here ever again. The Publix where this occurred is very nearby my house and Ive never been able to step foot near it without feeling sick. Natalie was a beautiful person. My fondest memory that I have of her is when we were eating before one of our marching band home games. She invited me to sit with her and her sister, was nothing but kind and inviting to me, and even sang to me and her as we sat there. She had a beautiful voice and I will always remember her in this way and I hope all of you will as well ❤😊

[@dixierae6063]

I just started watching these true mystery stories and have noticed such an enormous change in my alertness both inside and outside my home. Because I have a large dog I was constantly forgetting to lock my doors and had a bad habit of going and standing by people's car doors that I didn't know and chatting with them through duh window. I weigh 110 lb and someone would be able to yank me inside in a few seconds. I even met this man and I told him I was having a difficult time finding anyone to cut my lawn for me. He took my number saying he knew someone and he'd have them give me a call he called on a Sunday and said you know I don't have anything to do why don't I come over and take a look and he says I have a big driving lawn mower and I can probably take care of it for you in no time. The guy ended up asking for $20 for gas and calling back two weeks later apologizing for not following through and that he would get the 20 bucks back to me. He was obviously an absolute loser that probably ran out of beer money figured out a way to take advantage of a nice lady and did. When I watch these shows I get so angry with myself because I never should have allowed a complete stranger to even set foot on my property guard dog or not. We watch all of these random act of kindness videos on KZbin and the reality of it is people are simply not spending their time helping other people. My new rule if they offer to help I walk the other way quickly we live in a very scary world and not everyone looks as creepy as this kid did. Anyway I'll keep on watching until it gets so ingrained in my head that I will never be careless again. I realize so often it's being in the wrong place at the wrong time but bless these kids hearts if they hadn't got together behind a grocery store at 3 a.m. in the morning they would still be here with us. They are of course not responsible but that was a bad choice.

[@catlady5359]

I’m so sorry to hear this. My nephews are adopted brothers saved from drug addicted parents who abandoned them to starve. The eldest was whip smart, but ended up a homeless drug addict by choice (despite all of the love and care and help his adoptive parents gave him or got him). The youngest was a drug baby and had a learning disability, but he ran away (as an adult) and learned a trade and supported himself elsewhere. Then he eventually returned to his home town, got a job, met a woman and had a child with her. They’re still together and stable. It’s almost random how children with a trauma background and related health problems turn out. It’s difficult to find effective help, but all parents can do is their best. I hope you’re able to find real, effective help for your child.

[@artofescapism]

Thank you for the respectful video. Jeffrey was my best friend in elementary school- I can promise you he was not faking or ‘acting crazy’. Everything you described is as I remember him when we were children- he was well known in school to have no impulse control or judgment of right and wrong, and would, on occasion, get up on the desks and howl like a wolf, and even bite people. We would often play imagination games during recess, and the ‘invisible dog’ thing was a common part. I was never allowed to go home with him, but I met his grandparents, and they seemed kind, like they were doing their best, but were simply overwhelmed. The last time I saw him was the December before the murders- I was home from college, and he was working at a craft store near North Point Mall. I remember remarking to my mom that he seemed more stable, and I was happy for him. And then the next time I hear of him, it’s this on the news. It was such a shock.

The gun was stolen property and he could have been arrested and gotten help for his state of mind at that time. The grandparents knew he was a ticking time bomb.

[@eldeefitty4473]

I'm not kidding, I served Jeffrey and his gf food at Town Center Mall at the time of his crimes. My coworker and I were talking about the weird way they held their food when they ate. We weren't people watchers, they grabbed our attention. Jeffrey came up for a refill when I noticed his Rush - Spirit of Radio shirt, I said "Nice shirt, I love Rush!" He quietly switched instantly and looked at me quizzically, asking "Do you? Love Rush?". I confirmed and he continued, "What albums or songs do you like?" Innocent enough so I listed my favs, why not, but something was up the way he was. To my list he knodded and replied, "... Okay..." He took his drink and sat down. I knew our exchange was something specific. A few weeks later, my coworker texted me an AJC picture of Jeffrey in court wearing county jail jumpsuit, followed by the article after I said "is that the guy?" I recognized him immediately and followed the awful case. Since then I wonder if he considered me for an "assassination" target if I didn't pass the "Rush Test". Who knows, either way I was kind and genuine towards the guy. You never know who you're talking to or what they have in mind, for better or worse. Thoughts and prayers for those kids' family and friends.

[@melcatsss]

[@kastaway2]

?????

[@FronteirWolf]

FASD can cause incredibly poor judgement and impulsivity. People with FASD can also have incredibly good verbal skills, which with one sufferer allowed him to get through a job interview only to be incapable of doing the job. People with FASD can appear very capable due to verbal abilities, but in fact are profoundly disabled and need intensive support from family, employers, carers etc, but with the right support can succeed at life. Jeffrey would have had a lot of trouble with exercising good judgement, he simply wouldn't have thought murder through, the consequences wouldn't have occurred to him, he could have been verbally very articulate though making him look a lot more competent and able to think things through than he actually was.

The first I'd been made aware of regarding the city. Also, there's more to Georgia (state) than sweet tea (which, I just call syrup so I agree...).

No such thing as a British accent. Britain is more than one country with many, many accents.

[@MrDeanmfitz]

@@trevorcook3129 so how would you verbalize the category that each of those accents exist under

[@Silentgrace11]

While I don’t agree with the way Trevor addressed it, they’re probably referring to the fact that there are different regional distinctions. While I don’t know specifics on Britain because I haven’t lived there (and I wouldn’t expect anyone to know these distinctions unless they live in the area) it’s much like how you can break down accents in the US like an east coast accent, a country accent, a west coast accent, a Midwest accent, etc. These of course can be broken down by state, and further broken down by areas of the state (as someone who lives in Ohio, for example, I can tell you who has spent some time in northern, central or southern Ohio based on accents). But so long as you’re not using an accent to discriminate against or generalize other people, it’s not hurting anything. I laugh when someone says I have a country accent. I discuss stories when people say they can’t tell where I’m from specifically because I’ve lived in many places, and in general my accent adapts slightly to who I’m speaking to. But I can guarantee you, discussing someone’s accent shift in this context, to contextualize an abnormal shift in someone’s vernacular, is not generalizing a community or speaking poorly towards them. It’s identifying a clear and distinct change, and particularly to something that would otherwise be abnormal for them given their circumstances. The person expressing that generalization isn’t going to know every potential sub category

I have a friend who fought for over a month to get her son, suffering from fetal alcohol disorder, out of being fully restrained in a small room in the ER and into a residential care facility. She fortunately had the support and finances to do this, but she knows many other parents of children who need the same help and cannot get it. Our systems are broken. We wait for someone to commit a crime and then lock them up. It’s easy to say they should have gotten him help, but seeing what it took for her to get that help was eye-opening. (And this put one of her other kids into a massive panic attack once the event was finally over, requiring her to be hospitalized for a short while as well.) Our prison system should not be the biggest provider of mental health services, but here we are.

What Jeffrey needed is mental health therapy. And strict discipline with consequences for his behavior. When they heard him saying that people are gonna get hurt that's a red flag and he should've been evaluated by mental health professionals. He could've stayed in a mental health hospital for a complete mental health evaluation and diagnosis and they could've decided the best course of action from there. If he had gotten treatment way earlier maybe things would've turned out differently.

[@jaynenunya6070]

I think it's pretty hard to pin down Jeff's motives, but just using my gut, I feel like Jeff had retreated to a place he felt was isolated from others bc he was upset. maybe he was even contemplating suicide. Then come these two teens, ready to have fun, which infuriates him. how dare they intrude on him. I think that he probably looked at them as normies and imagined them as his complete opposite: able to have a fun fling while he was in mental anguish, probably able to go home to a stable family life, able to have a bright future. so he lets out all his rage on them, because how dare they. That's only a guess, though.

It's tragic all around. I pity him. He was dealt a horrific hand in life by his mother's substance abuse before he was even born. It seems pretty clear he didn't get the professional help and support he clearly needed to manage the mental health conditions that start in life gave him. What he did was monstrous, but it seems to be a product of so many failures from so many people.

[@Roasty420]

I mean, don’t most serial killers snap? Richard Ramirez was born into poverty and his older brother got him into selling drugs, doing drugs, and living a life on the streets. The Green Ridgeway killer had a father with horrible views towards Women, as he would teach his son that Women who dressed like trash or sold themselves for money, were no better than trash. This would also drive the son to hate his mother as well, as she would dress a certain way in and out of the house. Which is the reason why I think he killed all the Women that he had issues with and then he dump their bodies into the river. Aileen was betrayed by friends and family, so at that point she sold herself off to make money, but she became mentally unstable and ended becoming insane. Jeffery Dahmer and Ed Gein were also people who had issues as children. Dahmer had certain tendencies towards Men, sexual tendencies. I believe he could it expressed these feelings and that’s he became the way that he was. Ed Gein was abused by his mother frequently and had lived a sheltered life, which made him go crazy when his mother passed away and at that point he started killing people. I believe everyone has a limit before they snap, so imo I believe people should be nicer, more respectful, and parents shouldn’t force their awful beliefs onto their children.
