[@victoriawilliams2786]

The case about Lindsey makes me want to point out something I feel is important. A lot of times young people are raised to be polite to strangers in public places and to not make a scene. I think it's very important to also teach them that it's ok to tell someone firmly NO. And that it's ok to cause a scene if that person won't take NO for an answer. That is what I wish Lindsey had done in that public place. Folks please remember that being "impolite" could save your life. Edit: Pam also received her mothers insurance money, if I remember correctly.

[@shaunicymuhammad]

Yes. This reminds me of the book called The Gift of Fear written by Gavin de Becker. He talks about how women typically are socialized to think we have to continue being nice to people even after we feel uncomfortable or feel that something is off about a person or situation. He says it's our natural instincts as animals to want to protect ourselves which is why our body will physically manifest our fears in ways like "hair on the back of your neck standing up" but women especially are often socialized to not want to hurt someone else's feelings so we go along with things we know we shouldn't.

[@jessicareeves2218]

I agree. We’re taught to be polite but it’s dangerous. I literally NEVER open the door when I’m home alone. Maybe it’s rude because they can see my lights are on and my car is in the driveway but I don’t give a shit. My safety is more important than being nice.

I’ve been waiting for someone to cover the Lindsay Hawker case. I worked for the same company as her in Japan and I actually moved out of the company apartment she moved into when she first arrived. We had many of the same coworkers. All the English teachers around the area were terrified because everyone told us Japan was “so safe.” NOWHERE IS SAFE. Especially not a place where you let your guard down because so many people tell you how safe it is. If there is something to be learned it is this: Always be vigilant. Do not trust strangers. Trust your gut. Don’t travel alone.

for the last case, it really upset me to hear that they thought the husband's reaction to finding his wife dead on the floor an "over reaction"... really? that is the stupidest and vile thing for them to say. I had tears running down my face when i heard his 911 call, i knew it was genuine

[@Catenfur]

If you listen to enough true crime stories, you will hear all the very similarly sounding cases where a husband stumbles upon their wife and seemingly appears distraught. But the reality is they were the ones who did it. Unfortunately, it’s an all too common scenario with husbands who murder their wives and it almost always never works. So while I don’t blame them for thinking it was another one of those cases, they really should have investigated more before coming to that conclusion. Bad police work all around.

[@pamelascarlett5305]

@@Catenfur I do! And yeah it's crazy. But this guy sounded genuine to me. I know many times it's the spouse. I completely blame them for looking at the husband, obviously in the end we know he didn't do it. So they wrongly convicted an innocent man. What a horrific scene to come home to and see your loved one on the floor cut up and dead! And yep..totally bad police work

[@pamelascarlett5305]

@susan ivy the whole call he sounded sincerely upset. I think if you're an extremely empathic person you'd be able to pick up on that. I know that you can't judge someone on emotions alone, bc everyone handles situations differently. Idk what kind of experiences in life you've had, but for me, personally have unfortunately had some major trauma resulting in ptsd, anxiety, depression, the shakes, etc etc.. I speak on this only as someone who had the terrible unfortunate tragedies happen. I can just pick up on authenticity. But all that said, yes for sure there are crazies out there that put on acts, etc.. and obviously they were completely wrong putting this man away. I'm glad he's found innocent and out. Imagine coming home and finding the love of your life DEAD on the floor!!!(on top of that being blamed and interrogated!!) It's unimaginable! For me, it's not unimaginable, bc i lived it. I have experienced first hand, the most gut wrenching experiences i wouldnt wish upon my worst enemy..Know one would truly know how it feels. I went completely insane and blacked out while flipping out having a complete mental breakdown. Idk how to describe it, it was a strange mixture of deep denial, pain, mental pain, anguish, despair, and anger! Very overwhelming. As I was trying to flip my fiancé s body around while on 911 I was screaming through the phone bc I could not physically do it. My body was sore for at least a week after that. I'm tearing up reliving this nightmare. This happened January 2021. I didn't care if I died, in fact, I welcomed death to get me in my sleep. I no longer am feeling that way. Healing takes time. I missed my therapy session today so if you're still reading this I am both thankful you took the time, and I'm also sorry for taking your time going on about this. Also I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. I hope everyone is safe out there, don't do drugs, literally everything is laced with Fentanyl. Drugs will claim the rest of your life and the ppl you love. And guard your heart, but at the same time have an open loving heart. Life can be pretty unbearable at times. I kind of went off topic but anyway.. I thank God for everyday, bc everyday would be literally impossible if it weren't for Him. Be kind to others and help others if you are able too! Good night and God bless you all ❤

Russ - *hysterical over dead wife's body* Prosecutor - "clearly he's faking, nobody cares that much about their wife." I wonder of that prosecutors wife connected the dots and realized how much he really cares about her 😂

[@JoejoeEng]

(He didn't say nobody cares that much about their wife. But simply that it was exaggerated) How the prosecutor was even allowed to say that I'll never know. That's not a fact of evidence, it's an opinion on somebody's reaction to an alleged murder, a psychologist or somebody should have been the one to comment that if that's how they felt. But even then I think it'd be absurd and unbecoming. Which I suspect is what the state psychologist told the prosecutor before he took it upon himself.

I’m certainly no predator, as most men aren’t. But if I try to put myself in the mindset of the predator from this case, my advice to women in this type of situation would be to draw as much attention to yourself and the man following you as fast as you could. Do something incredibly erratic in a very public space, this would make it nearly impossible for a man to continue perusing you, and they would be very likely to just want to flee the scene before they’re caught up in the situation and it’s revealed that they’d been stalking you.

About Pam's mother's death. What makes it so suspicious is that Pam, being the last to see her mother alive, left her mother's apartment and told the nurses that her mother didn't want to be bothered for dinner or breakfast the next day. They also originally ruled her death "accidental" saying the mother somehow fell *_through_* the waist high bars. When people pointed out it makes no sense that an elderly lady on Ambien could bend metal bars and then squeeze through the small space made in order to fall to her death, they changed it to "undetermined."

Living in Japan here. A few notes to add to the general context of the first story. 1) Nova is not a good company and continues to ignore their teachers and underpays them. Don't work for them. 2) A general thing, for foreigners or women, do not hold private English lessons outside of some kind of organization. Creeps are always looking to do private lessons and all kinds of things can happen. You also often should also not be doing extra work on a some teaching visas, and could get in trouble with authorities. It's a huge issue, so just don't risk it. 3) Avoid bars if not in groups. The bar scene in Tokyo can be very dangerous, especially for women. Otherwise, Japan is a fairly safe country even when living alone. But always be cautious. 4) A parasitic lifestyle is not always a red flag in Japan. A lot of people cannot make enough money to live alone, or have serious mental health struggles, etc., and the amount of isolated people known as Hikikomori is rising. If you meet someone like this, please do not automatically assume they are a psychopath. 5) Men usually do not fear the police in cases of sexual assault. Especially for women, men are rarely prosecuted and it is very hard to prove an assault occurred. This is made extra hard if you are a foreigner, as police will often downplay your experiences. I assume he wanted her dead, as there would be no real reason to murder her otherwise when, especially with parents with money, he could have easily gotten away with it.

I once met a guy at a social gathering who seemed totally fine and was very good looking. He asked if he could take me out on a date and because I didn't trust automatically, I said sure, but we're going to have to meet at a restaurant. He asked why and I said the house is being renovated. About a week later we met the restaurant we agreed upon. He got there before me and when I went to the table he was sitting at I didn't sit down yet because seeing what he was doing, I pretended I didn't know and I asked him what was he doing. On a piece of paper he'd written my name down at least a hundred times. He answered he was writing my name down but never looked up once at me as he wrote my name away like he was in a psychotic trance. So I was like hey- I'll be right back, I have to use the bathroom and he finally looked at me and said 'sit down' and I played it off saying I'll only be gone a minute silly, order me a drink and then we can see what's good to eat here.

I’m tired of these Netflix specials that turn true crime stories into drama/mystery shows.

[@maxruehl]

I found the series entertaining. It did have an oddly whimsical tone, considering the subject matter, but I suspect that's because of how implausibly convoluted the plot was and how inept Pam was as a criminal "mastermind." It was based on the Dateline episodes on the case and even had Keith Morrison as narrator. I think Russ and the family actually owe a large debt of gratitude to Dateline as their tireless investigation into Pam played a large part in seeing she eventually answered for her crimes. If not for them, Russ might still be in prison and Pam would be free, enjoying the money she stole from Betsy's kids.

The Lindsay Hawker case haunts me to this day. I lived over the road from that family and saw her several times growing up. I remember the news crew outside the street all the time and while I was young I understood what happened. 4 years later I was learning to drive and it was her father Bill Hawker who was my teacher and he was so professional and kind as I am not a fast learner at all. I then got a job at the hotel in the same village and had the pleasure of talking to both Bill and Julia, lovely parents. I've moved on from Brandon village years ago but I wish them all the best in life nobody deserves to go through what they did.

This channel is better than any crime show I've ever seen, truly quality content guys keep up the good work

[@keshiawaldron2744]

Not ad good as Bailey Sarien. BUT YES CLOSE

I think any rational person could tell that the husband was clearly Showing actual emotions on that call

[@B0ppers]

I have watched y'alls stories for years now and enjoyed them all so much, one thing i did love from this video is how you included the red flags as well as the preventions in the first case. I think that this is a really good way to bring awareness to these things as normally many people do not think about these things in the moment. Well done crew

[@case8037]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate EWU!! Every night I am able to find new stories I haven't seen yet. Thanks for all of your hard work!!

[@Riff_Raff.]

Absolutely love your channel. The work you put into your videos is outstanding, thank you. 💛

[@rinpaisys]

I just immediately went “pam did it” the first time you said her name, and it kept getting worse. Shocker, she was, in fact, guilty.

[@709-Nate]

Found this channel about a month ago and its quickly become one of my favourite on this site. I've watched every video from start to finish, great content!

[@yoshi5159]

my best friend killed himself a few years ago... I was shaking, yelling, crying and vomiting. you can't overexaggerate how traumatic and devastating SEEING your loved one dead because of (what he thought was) suicide. there's no limit to how awful it feels to learn that your favorite person killed themselves. i feel so bad for that poor man being accused of overexaggerating his sadness and being his wife's murderer

[@ms.chievouz789]

Japan might be "safer" in regards of many things compared to other countries, as in, you can leave your stuffs unattended in public place without getting stolen, children can go out by themselves since such a young age, etc. BUT keep in mind this is also a country with very high rate of women harassment. It is never safe enough for women to let their guard down anywhere in the world, sadly

[@dea9457]

As a Japanese teenage girl who is currently living in japan. I can say sexualization of children and idolization of "baby faced" girls are insane here. There was a famous news about japanese medical university which secretly lowered the score of female student's entering exam. so women can not be future doctors. I assume other university is still doing such. Just not get caught yet. I learned English just to leave from this country. sexism is still a thing. Unfortunately japan is only awesome for travelings. In this world we women still have to face danger from men. Stay strong ladies.

[@aimeealbertson3216]

One (of the many) reasons I LOOOOOVE your channel is because I rarely hear you cover a case I've heard before. And when you do cover a case I've heard before, your episode is always better. The Pam Hupp case i have heard a handful of times from others. But i was still incredibly impressed how you were able to summarize it so succinctly. Thank you so much for all your hard work EWU crew!

[@driving_all_over]

As a Brit I can’t believe the Lindsey Hawker case was 15 years ago, it feels like yesterday seeing it on the news. Absolutely horrific case though and mad that it took them 4 years to convict him As for that last case, what a dreadful miscarriage of justice. That poor husband. Makes you wonder if Pam did indeed kill her mother now

[@Ceerads]

What do you think? She’s a stone-cold psychopath.

[@CherryPi314]

Twists & turns WOW! I must say I really like how you’re tying up the ending with the ‘what not to do’ & ‘red flags to look for’...gives everyone the perspective to ALWAYS have their guard up, don’t be afraid to decline offers that make you uncomfortable, it just may save your life! ✌🏽

[@starfosh]

You can absolutely tell how much Russ loved his wife. I hope he is doing better now. It hurts so much to hear especially when you’ve got a partner who you are devoted to.

[@anjatoledo8078]

You have THE best narrator voice , this is my new favourite channel, I just can't believe your channel doesn't have a few million subs yet with this kind of quality content

[@telltruthshamethedevil2488]

I've just discovered this channel & I can't stop watching! Thanks for the upload!🍿🥤👀

[@welzkelz8691]

EWU is one of the best channels on KZbin and the Raven has a brilliant voice for narrating. Very few times do I subscribe to a channel but had to with EWU as it's very well made and as a true crime fan I am hearing about crimes I've never heard of before. Keep up the Great work guys.

[@2RG_]

Bringing quality content on a lazy Sunday, thank you 🤙🏼

[@rorybannon]

in regards to the last case, if someone is calm and or showing a lack of emotion when they discover a loved one diseased it’s seen as suspicious, however in this case the husband’s reaction was seen as suspicious because of how upset he was to the point they played it off as acting. it’s like no matter how you react it can be seen as suspicious

[@tracesee681]

Russ was totally screwed by the police…. So glad Pam was finally caught.

[@sharksdonteatcake3060]

As a female just a bad feeling is more than enough for "reasons"

[@Silvery115]

I really love these videos! the red flags, all the details, the psychological insights… makes them super interesting

[@1wor1d]

17:24 I laughed when I saw Warren Philip Welch's photo, then I was surprised to hear that he had a girlfriend, then she dumps him and so he gets another one. Looking at that mug shot I would have predicted the closest he could get to a girlfriend was a restraining order.

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

Alright EWU Crew keep the the great work guys miss you guys a lot always binge watch your videos

[@doranvee5944]

I really like the high amount of info, the commentary, red flags, and the characteristics of people like psychopaths.

[@TinyGrandma]

Love love love this channel! Best narrator ever!

[@isabella8208]

A lot of girls could be spared if we didn't continuously hammer into their heads to be 'kind' to others. Lindsay like many others felt uneasy but brushed it off. I say it's perfectly fine to say 'no' and not be 'kind' if you don't want to be.

[@devinxoxo8350]

I agree but that really doesn’t apply to Lindsay she had been warned not to be so trusting and naïve but didn’t take it seriously because she believed she was in such a safe country and she was going to say no but then changed her answer when he offered her a large amount of money, that’s not really the same thing as what you’re describing.

[@90sHONEY]

Exactly what I sm saying! It starts with the wrong "values" that girls grow up with. Someone here called Lindsay stupid. I know exactly why she was acting that way and it has nothing to do with stupidity but with not wanting to be "bitchy", "unreasonable" or "hysterical".

Her poor husband. All the hell and time in prison he went through, plus dealing with finding his wife dead. There is no way I would have convicted him with the flimsy circumstantial evidence they had. Awful.

[@ricekk6670]

Just wanted to say finding the EWU channels has really been great. All of the videos are very well done and we'll researched and the narrator has honestly one of the best voices I've heard for narrating true crime stories. I used to watch the show Crime Watch Daily before it was cancelled and had been looking for a good replacement to watching that show ever since. Ewu has definitely filled that void.

[@verandream6675]

Russ case makes me so angry cause the first trial felt rushed and the police jumped to conclusions without even checking other suspects throughoutly. If they did things would have gone differently

[@melecslol6873]

in a couple months i am moving to japan to teach english in an eikaiwa similar to lindsay's... this case has hit too close to home since i heard of it a while back. so sad, such a bright girl with tons of potential. great video as always ewu :)

This is the first time I’ve commented on this site. Who is the person who narrates!? I love his voice!!! I’ve been listening and watching EWU for only a few months. I work for the courts in exhibits and as you can guess we get some horrific stories. Yet I can’t get enough! I agree with the other commenter who said some of the things you hear on this program can save your life. Thank you to the narrator- I could listen to you all day!

[@vituperativedetritus3628]

[@Foggy_Til_Noon]

It is understandable of Betsy's husband to assume she had taken her own life based on her grim cancer prognosis. A woman in the town I live in was diagnosed with cancer and waited in the doctor's building in the bathroom for the building to close and then jumped from the roof of the building (about 10 stories), in front of many witnesses. One witness being a local judge here. Very very tragic.

[@VishusVenom]

So you also tell your own BS stories huh? This one is even dumber than the other lies. Lmao.

[@Foggy_Til_Noon]

@@VishusVenom Damn you must live one hell of a boring life or something. Bet you would believe I'm lying about my sister's brother-in-law being shot by his wife in the back (paralyzing him), then after a police chase, taking her own life. Yeah. I just make stuff up cuz I'm mental...and bored. It was in the newspapers look up "Girl says 'Mommy shot Daddy'" New York Times. Happened in Toronto, Ohio. Look up "Woman jumps from building after cancer diagnosis Steubenville, Ohio." Or "Man jumps to his death in Steubenville court house" that's another crazy one I got to personally see them wheel him out on the stretcher. Living at the Fort Steuben in view of the courthouse. Yeah I've seen and heard some shit. You should get out more. Perhaps read your local paper.

Here in the Philippines, life insurance is not really a thing. Majority sees it as a burden and unnecessary to be included in the budget list. It is not mandatory but yes, land ownership and money can be a reason for envy, greed and yes again, killing 👏 Thank you for the red flags, hope police are taking note of these Ewu Crew, never disappoints me👌❤️

That Pam lady definitely was definitely the killer she tried to inflict the same injuries on herself that were used to murder Betsy . Puncturing the neck and wrist .

[@DutchIsraeli]

Oh gosh Pam Hupp! Poor Russ, I've always felt so awful for him... The pain in his voice is so obvious in the call. Imagine what he must have been going through all that time... What a nightmare 😱

[@lelawarren2356]

You have such an amazing voice that you could easily narrate shows on big networks. I listen to you for entertainment and to sooth me to sleep. You rock! 💓 Please make sure the narrator of this video sees this! 😘

[@frosty_teacup]

I feel so terrible for Russ. The way he was sobbing when he found his wife broke my heart, because I'd read the comments and went into that story knowing he was innocent. He had to go through hell. I hope every breathing moment for Pam is spent in agony.

[@JLeppert]

She is in agony. She's caged. People like her live by no rules.

[@TimothyWenger]

I love these videos. I have to say, the last case in this video is definitely one if THE most twisted I’ve seen in a while.

[@crystalhilliard9656]

The gross negligence in case 2 from all forms of 'professionals' from fire dept to law enforcement to sbi etc. Please explain to me how NO ONE found Danny's corpse found in almost the exact same spot as his wife? The total amount of mistakes made in Case 2 by law enforcement is shocking to say the least. The family did all of their jobs for them, so freaking appauling! I can't even fathom what that family went through! The amount of cases that could've been solved so much sooner were it not for law enforcement/fire dept incompetence or corruption is absolutely infuriating.

[@Meimei-os2nk]

As a parent this is ONE of the most fearful scary things is to have that worry feeling not wanting your child to go but you know you can’t completely stop them 😭 knowing this and so many other things are the worry ugh worst feeling ever!!!

[@TheLeadingCat]

I'm not one to easily cry, but hearing Russell and how absolutely frightened, distressed and saddened got to me HARD! You could tell the man loved his wife a lot. The fact the police even suspected him when you could hear the raw emotions in his voice is just disgusting to me. This isn't the kinda thing you can just act out of the blue just like that. Also gotta love how the police didn't think about immediately looking at the murder weapon. They just wanted to solve that case quickly.

[@A.S.N444]

I love that you end the video with red flags and warns People about things related to the case. Thank you for great content and advice

[@voteforscience]

We have to stop ignoring the messages from our fight or flight system. We instinctively recognize when a predator has identified us as potential prey and our sympathetic nervous system triggers fight or flight along with a message to ‘run’ or ‘hide’. These are different from the everyday intrusive thoughts that we all have. Your internal warning system tells you to do things that would be beneficial to you, such as ‘run’ upon encountering danger. Intrusive thoughts instruct you to do things that would be abhorrent to you as a reminder to not do that thing, such as ‘Jump off that bridge for no reason’. In summary: Intrusive thoughts are things that would hurt you. Do not do them. DO listen to your fear response and possibly survive a predator. Thank you. 🙇‍♀️

[@peachiep2734]

I love this narrator!!! The best voice for this content...♥️🔥🔥💯

[@anamuntean3276]

Sadly Lindsey ignored a lot of red flags. The brightest red flag was to go with him to pick up her payment. She already didn’t have a good feeling about hiM hence she met him once in a public place. But then accepted to go to his house, even his door step was crazy. I would have waited in the taxi or ask him to drop off payment in her mail or at the door and never see him again.

[@spencerjames8989]

Surprised there aren't more subscribers to this channel, the videos are very well put together. There's a lot of cases brought up that I'd never heard of and I watch a lot of material like this.

[@BrigitteGoodman]

Problem is that Lindsay never learned to say no to people she didn't like to be with. She was naive and she thought she needed the money. Never a good reason for being with a stranger.

[@awright119021]

In the Russ Faria case, the prosecutor was brand new and said when she ran for the elected position, she never thought she would win. She was way under qualified and never should've put herself in that position. Then the judge on the case was also brand new and had ZERO experience trying criminal cases. She made so many errors. The detectives had complete tunnel vision. The lawsuit decision said that they hid evidence, manufactured evidence and ignored everything that exonerated Russ. The prosecutor said afterwards that she never expected to get a guilty verdict, so why did she charge him?? They should all be criminally charged
