Serial Killers and Parasitic Murderers | Exploring Melbourne's Darkest Stories...

I'm from Melbourne and I lived on the same Coburg street as Jill's murderer. I knew his face and saw him regularly in the neighborhood. I remember the missing posters and the march down Sydney Rd for Jill. There was a weight of sadness across the northern suburbs. The local church had a tower of flowers and candles out the front for a long time. I think you told the story very well and respectfully. Thank you for covering these stories. I really like this format.

[@roboticzamat]

Sydney Rd? I grew up on Bell Street! It's really such a sad story. 😢 Seeing familiar places makes it sadder as I was lucky enough to have only good memories.

[@zalfir]

Melbourne's such a small city sometimes, I used to pass by the Franco Cozzo (ina Brunswick, not Footascray) that they showed for IT purposes at the uni near there. She looks like a really Melbourne person, if that makes sense - as if you'd see her presenting the news on ABC or something.

[@liamfinlay2039]

I also basically lived on his street. Grew up in Coburg too. I love that area. It was very shocking, Jill and a few others losing their life around this time in similar ways. To the victims, rest peacefully and to their loved ones I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@SerenityChaos1975]

The entire country felt the sadness of what happened to Jill, it should never have happened but sentencing on repeat violent offenders is way too lenient.

My brother and I were stalked on the highway and nearly abducted by a serial killer driving a yellow Volkswagen , I can’t remember where in Florida but it was hot, I was 9 and my little brother was 7 we ran and had to climb over a dead cow that was in a dry creek bed it stunk real bad. The serial killer stopped his car and yelled out to me and my brother, he said your mommy is sick in hospital come with me! we ran and had to hide in a corn field! Bill Joe ran out of the corn field, as he wanted to go with man to see our mom but I threw a rock at my brother’s head to stop him going to the serial killer. I didn’t mean to kill my little brother! It was an accident I swear! I hid in the corn field until the serial killer left. I put my brother’s body under the dead cow. I told my parents he ran away and they believed me!😮

[@ChloAlexandra19]

My mum had a too close encounter with the Frankston Serial Killer during his active months of murders. My dad worked for a trucking company, and had a fuel deal with a local servo. Mum was told by Dad to go fuel up the car, and let the server know it was to go on that particular log. After fuelling her car, she went in to talk to the staff. There was a man serving, she was the only customer. The man told her she needed to come into the back room to sign the paperwork for it. She followed, thinking this must be the usual protocol. He closed the door behind him. She got this immediate feeling that something was wrong. Before he could do anything, there was a ding. A customer had opened the front door. The man left to serve them, and mum left too. When she told Dad about it, he was confused. He’d never been asked to sign anything. It was months later that she was watching the news, the Frankston Serial Killer had been caught. Mum recognised him immediately as the man who served her that day, the one who led her to the back room and locked the door. We don’t know what he could’ve done that day, but she was literally saved by the bell. If that random person hadn’t walked in when they did, she might not have gone on to have another 2 kids, including me.

I love the idea of Nat's track. Her story ended so tragically but the fact that her final moments on earth now have a safe place for people to travel is a statement that her killer did not win, and she did not go down without a fight and will not be forgotten, nor will anyone else suffer as she did.

I really appreciate how much you focus on highlighting and humanising the victims, while showing your distain for the perpetrators. Some reporting seems to almost fawn over the killers and barely mention their victims. While it is heartbreaking, it also really drives home the horrors of the crime and just how disgusting the perpetrator is.

After 8 ears in the Marine Corps, and two tours in Afghanistan as an Inteligence specialist, he was honably discarged as a sergeant. Soon after was diagnosed with PTSD. Hearing Jake's story hits home for me. Thanks for your interesting, and comprehensive videos, and enjoy your travels you deserve it.

I discovered this channel a few weeks ago and I can't explain how many episodes I've watched already and how I am even able to do so. I watch from the moment I wake up, while working, eating dinner, out for a drive, going to bed. This is insanity. The format, the presentation, the level of details, the story telling, down to the English accent and occasional dry British humor...it hits all the spots for me as a crime documentary junky and even spots I didn't realize I had. My only fear now is what happens if I run out of episodes and actually have to wait for them to get posted...I suppose watching them twice would actually not be the worst. How can I support this channel besides watching videos, I love your work.

I especially hate when these things happen to expats or tourists. These people come here with dreams and looking for happiness.

He was a suspect, he’d lost his wife and was so far away from his family.

One day he took us down a track saying he wanted to show us something. He stood in front of the adult sized hole in a chain link fence, & said this is the hole that school girl was pulled through & murdered just there. Me and my friend panicked & rushed back out. I felt the blood drain out of me then & now all these years later seeing that image on the screen, matching my memory. I was going to tell my story with a note that maybe he picked a random track to scare us. But nope. Thats the one i saw. Feel horrified all over again.

I normally don't have the patience for long videos, but I have to say I really enjoyed this presentation. (Particularly liked the tour of Melbourne; have always wanted to visit Australia.) Being right there on the scene, I bet the impact hits more like a personal connection.

[@CanadaisWild]

This is an amazing format, Holy wow. The difference between this and crazy hair covid Adrian is amazing.

[@sabrinamorris53]

You do such an amazing job showing empathy and respect for all of the people in your stories. ❤

[@mercy1990]

Would love to have this as a series. Crimes grouped around cities is a great idea. Not to mention a video of yours that's nearly an hour long was awesome. Thanks so much for all you do. Please make this series permanent.

[@rickjames7576]

You are good inside, outside, and all around. Thanks Adrian, for all your excellent hard work. Great job !

[@roynorman9376]

Such an incredible video! The style of story telling was amazing! Thank you for what you do Adrian. A video like this would be great going state by state. As someone who lives in South Australia it would be incredible to see some cases from here but, I'm sure every state has its stories.

[@margaretbarnes5642]

Welcome to Melbourne Adrian.. How lovely to have you here ❤ thankyou for all your hard work in creating this channel. I especially love your little wink at the end when saying goodbye ❤ keep up the great work 👍 👏

[@flavia8504]

I like this new format. But please keep the other one as well. Thank you.

[@kimberlymerrill9892]

amazing work as always, Adrian! you always cover these heavy topics so professionally and respectfully but with your own heartfelt style. loving this new style/storytelling, too!

[@DJAzureSky]

I LOVE this format. I recently have been fond of vising "Filming Locations" of different places, there's a different vibe when you attach yourself geographically as you said. Like even traveling, I went to Akihabara in Japan and realized that the freedom of walking around in a blocked off street on Sunday was after a couple of years the Tomohiro Kato incident you covered a couple years back.

[@YTStoleMyUsername]

Love this format, looks very high quality and professional, almost a blend of journalistic/news anchor live report and documetary style video. Well done! I know they can't all be done like this, but this was really well put together, Adrian. Also, I laughed out loud when you called the guy in the first story a f***head for sharing your name, you're so chill & laid back I didn't expect that lol.

[@snehalghorpade2005]

Hey Adrian, this new series is absolutely amazing. Great work 👍

[@devorah1961]

I like the dimension of you being there and showing us the memorials set up. It adds deeper meaning to the case and honours the victims and families.

[@vasiliak5870]

Thanks for covering this in such a professional way. I would rather watch your videos on TV than the documentaries on there now. Ive heard of this case before, I'm from St Kilda and this really does re-awaken me to how different it was then to now. Thank you for your work!!

[@SoNyatium]

Bringing the story on location is a great idea, both with multiple cases or one deep dive into a single one. Really digging this new format. And the beard.

[@catlady5359]

This was a very interesting video with the added bonus of you being on location, Adrian. I’m an American living in New Zealand. I really like all of the unique stories you cover from places other than the USA. I hope you’ll cover more locations in Europe and Asia. I also love Melbourne after experiencing the city on a long weekend with my husband to see the Harry Potter play there. It’s a fascinating city in that old buildings are mixed in with modern buildings. The beautiful designs, colours and murals on some buildings make it feel quirky and fun. Great city. Australia is home to some very shocking and unusual crimes, especially in and around Adelaide. It would be worth looking into those. Jill’s death was so utterly tragic and learning about her killer’s criminal history made it especially infuriating. I hope that monster never gets out of jail; I never trust that a life sentence will remain untouched after some time goes by and attitudes and laws change (case in point the current “reforms” to criminal justice in the USA). The serial killer is just terrifying and better never get out because he will always be a danger to others; some people can’t be rehabilitated. As for the missing man, the circumstances seem to indicate suicidal thoughts to me, but could also be the result of psychosis setting in for some reason. I hope his family gets answers before much longer. It must be agonising not knowing what happened to him. Take care of yourself, Adrian. Thanks for your hard work!

[@louisecrespo6734]

Love the multiple stories in a city. Being on location is just awesome. Love the 3 stories. Thank you.

[@angelesshockley1635]

This longer format is very well made and quite informative. Good job. Thank you, I appreciate all the work put into each episode. Very good job.😊

[@HerHallOfMirrors94]

I really enjoyed this format! Great job as always. Your respect and empathy toward the victims are always appreciated. 😔

[@TheJesskeo]

Can’t bear to watch,this story is very well known and it’s so close to home

[@kirstiesanchez]

I love this series! Your videos are always well done but this change up is great!

[@FLSTCKT]

Thanks for the new story 😊 !

[@SaymaVasvi]

Absolutely love this format. Love your storytelling and compassion for the victims. Please do one in London.

[@winkipedias6557]

thank you so much for shedding light and covering this cases. this video feels so personal since most of the places you were in this video is very familiar to me.

[@scaredy-cat]

Not blaming the victim, but don’t put yourself in a potentially dangerous position

[@jessirodriguez7664]

Every position is a dangerous position when a man is involved and you're a woman.

[@robotzombie2481]

Thats why you need to avoid walking anywhere alone after dark because monsters are banking on it.

[@davidjensen9395]

Welcome to Melbourne Adrian! We’re so glad to have you. Now that you’re here, please remember that sex work is real work and we don’t use words like “prostitute” in this progressive city. We use the term “sex worker” which is politically correct. Aside from that, another excellent video. Looking forward to more ❤

[@christiandaugherty6339]

They aren't workers though; they aren't employed by wage Labour.

[@Warriorwithin09]

sorry bro but i don't think Melbourne is famous for it's coffee. In fact i just checked on Google different links with the reasons why Melbourne is famous and not even one mentions coffee.

[@okayno4045]

Didn't have to fact check that as I'm pretty sure it's just a cheeky comment about how he drinks all the coffee everywhere he goes.

[@k.forsythe5242]

On location reports are brilliant ! Seeing the actual locations provides me with a reality that in studio presentation can’t provide. I wonder if you feel like a reporter instead of a researcher who presents stories. Also, I love the longer and multi “story” format. Thank you Adrian!!!

[@SuperDelightfulone]

I absolutely love everything you do, but I really enjoy being able to get several stories at once

[@enizahm8660]

I like the irl travel aspect of this video. As you said yourself grounding yourself in the location really makes a difference. The other true crime channels I watch haven't done something like this to my knowledge. I very much like this type of video, it should be a series.

[@saffhana7521]

babe wake up theres an hour long coffeehouse crime video!!!! additionally i love it! its a nice change to your regular content (not that it was at all stale) while adding a little more depth to it! ive been watching you for a few years now and youre always a delight to see

[@judyedwards7144]

It definitely brought these cases closer and much more personable to see the actual locations. I would like to see you go to some places in the states. Safe travels to you Adrian 😊 RIP to the victims 🙏

[@sheilareza2188]

Thanks for these series .. Isn't it better to be more aware and concious while enjoying our own cities and countries?

[@l-b284]

I've seen some other stories about this guy on other channels, but this story has all the dots connected and thoroughly explains the details. Thanks for all your hard work and posting this 😼😼

[@vigilante351]

THanks for this whole episode! I hear you're a member of our Australian society?! Gratz, and welcome! Jil's case was the one that blew up the Australian rage to no end. I mentioned this case to you middle last year, so im glad you came over and covered it.

[@CissyBrazil]

Despite the horrific stories you had to tell, it was refreshing to see you in a different place, and outside. You obviously had a cameraman, and he needs to get some credit. Thank you, Adrian, again!

[@Wamptuk]

I’m loving the candid Adrian video, Adrian driving, Adrian at the beach, Adrian still talking about Murder😂. Your the man bub

[@gayledodds733]

Thank you for this presentation it was heartbreaking though refreshing. It was about time that someone talked about the crimes in Australia and you have done this for Melbourne with dignity ❤

[@QueenOz]

So glad you’re looking at some of the crimes of my home town

[@56music64]

Great, watched the whole vid and found it fascinating, well researched and engaging. Yes more please!

[@jrnewts7790]

Thanks for doing these stories justice. Our city (melbourne) is amazing. But it does have alot of darkness in it. Youa handled these story with respect man 🤙

[@shontellepayne551]

Thanks for another great video and I love this format! Melbourne is my home for the past 18 years ❤and I knew a lot about Jill as it was recent but not the others in that much detail. Really well done Adrian!

[@Lombreee]

Loved this!!!!!! 💕❤️🎉🥳 You visiting the areas was very interesting.

[@mssramsunker4820]

Love and Greetings from South Africa! I love your channel, Adrian; and the immense RESPECT when you are reporting on the victims! Sad cases indeed! RIP Angels!

[@sherrigates463]

I'm from Pennsylvania, USA. I absolutely loved this video. Fantastic job on the detailed description of case. I'd love to see more. Thanks.
