Hiding In Plain Sight: The Disturbing Case Of Daniel Marsh

In April 2013, the community of Davis - Yolo County, California - was rocked by a horrific double murder. When 87 year old Chip Northup and 76 year old Claudia Maupin, were found dead in their condo, the race was on to find the killer. Was the killer hiding in plain sight the entire time?

Drugs both prescribed and illegal are abused. Therapy is refused and minor crimes such as theft and vandalism become prevelant. At what point shouls this person be denied freedom?

When Daniel was on the stand, saying he didn’t want to remember the crime he committed because he couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that as a youth he could have done something so heinous, his testimony rang very hollow. I think he is adept at being deceptive, as many psychopaths are; they tell you what you want to hear. When I heard the daughter say that Daniel had gotten a tattoo of her mother’s mortal wounds that really showed me what kind of person he still is and that is one who is beyond rehabilitation.

I'm always curious if people would apply that same logic to people who murder animals daily as their job? What kind of psychological affect do you think it has on those workers? If you want to breed people who have no feelings about murder I'd say that's a pretty good way to do it. Empathy and compassion starts with the most innocent of creatures (animals/ children). If you can kill those for your job then I'd imagine you are capable of anything. I'm just curious why we see someone who tortures a cat as a sick psycho and someone who murders hundreds of animals a day as being totally sane?

@@msjibberjabberhodge Thought provoking. However, I think killing to provide sustenance for yourself or others can be and is different. They aren't preying on vulnerable animals and torturing them.

@@nafsimohamed2392 Exactly! No evidence on top of the fact he was dealing with his own extremely serious mental health issues is beyond disgusting to me! To find out that as usual, absolutely no-one was held responsible is sickening! Yet not surprising in the least bit. It's exactly the same as here in the UK, law enforcement, Judges, CPS, Psychiatrists ETC... basically ANYONE in a position of power and meant to have responsibility, are NEVER held ACCOUNTABLE. NEVER. Regardless of any evidence showing their clear misconduct or negligence. There's a case here in the UK where social services (same as CPS) failed again and AGAIN to protect a child, actually removing them from the care of their grandparents and giving then back to the parents after the father was released from jail. This was even after the grandparents had told the judge 'You will have blood on your hands one day and have to explain yourself' Well...... I'm sure you can guess how it ended up! The father ended up killing the child. This was after the grandparents had spent their entire life savings trying to fight the custody decision in court.. While the couple were issued with free legal aid. Well they obviously lost this battle which ended in them also loosing their grandchild. Within weeks of this the grandmother actually died leading just the grandfather left. He wrote a letter to the judge and stated how hurt he was and how he felt totally failed by the 'system' yet simply requested a sorry from the judge in writing Well, while trying to grieve both his grandchild's MURDER and then the death of his wife.. His whole world! His life-partner for decades... He was totally ignored and has never had an apology or even been acknowledged by the same people who failed both him and his late-wife but even more importantly, had totally failed to protect that child again and again. So many points it could have been avoided, the amount of times they could have done their job correctly, investigated the claims and put a stop to everything is actually crazy... And EXTREMELY infuriating. The worst part is that it's not even like this is an isolated case within the UK, as shown in the case in this video, seems it doesn't matter with who you are dealing with or the geographical location! People in authority positions are never held accountable, therefore why would they show any responsibility for their actions! Never been made to do so for the whole of their careers so why change now?.... Seems to be their attitude. Sorry for the rant! Last few days I've seen this exact thing happen in multiple videos from all different crime channels and it's honestly just infuriating, the last one I watched was regarding the blatant police failure to investigate a man who was found absolutely TORTURED in his own apartment, blood everywhere and was found in water. Had holes all over him and black and blue from head to toe. Within a few days the mother is contacted by his 'GF' who he had never mentioned yet she was claiming they were about to move in together, open joint bank account and planning kids, even going as far to say she had already miscarried one baby. Yet later on while talking with the mother slipped up she had only seen him in person 4tines, and every one of those times matches to him ending up in hospital after being drugged and poisoned. From the start it's clear she was the suspect even before all the other stuff she did/say. Yet the police... Well for the 2nd case from the same county... They claimed he had beaten himself into a coma and even though his toxicology came back clean, even before the results were back and the first time on the crime scene the detective was already claiming it HAD to be meth. This was literally the same day, as soon as CSI had done their job of documenting the scene. Upon further look it was also clear that there had been a clean-up attempt. Bleach wipes hidden in bizarre places as well as the walls showing cleaning fluid had been sprayed on top of the blood, his spare key was also missing... The 'GF' later stated she knew about the key and had used it in the past. So instead of doing their job, they were so quick to close the case as self inflicted wounds and overdose. This decision was later changed again and AGAIN. Its crazy! So this guy was apperantly high on meth (although perfect toxicology report) had tortured himself for multiple days even though he had a great job and had a bright future ahead of him. After this he took the time to try and clean up only to end up beating himself into a coma to then put HIMSELF into a cupboard, turn down the thermostat and lay there for multiple days dying! As when found he had soooo many wounds which were all at different points of healing. His mother had seen him only days before he stopped answering his phone and within a week of him being found. The case is such a clear first-degree homicide it's unreal, and finding out it's the 2nd case in the same county under pretty much the exact same conditions to be ruled 'self inflicted'. It's a 2pt video put up a few days ago! If interested let me know and I'll give you the name of the creator. She did a fantastic job on a case which is so captivating and has so much evidence showing exact OPPOSITE of what the police found. With her daughter they did their own investigation and recorded meetings with this supposed 'GF' along with phone calls and the results are clear to see. Yet again, pure negligence and laziness on behalf of the local police yet no accountability from any of them. As long as they can close the case and do as little work as possible along the way, regardless of the fact you are allowing a sick, twisted individual roam the streets... Well that's just fine 🙄

[@charmingbandit4725]

@ActualReality, I totally agree. Same with the age factor playing a big role in sentencing. Society has changed very much and there are more and more young people killing other people. People should be sentenced by their crime, not by their age. Plus there's psychopaths out there who's brain is wired in a way that they have an uncontrollable urge to hurt and kill and who don't feel empathy. They cannot help themselves, their brain is dysfunctional for participating in a society. The latter needs to prevale above the unfortunate misproduction of the psychopathic mind of an individual, so they should be kept out of society foregood.

Had I witnessed him killing that cat, these murders would not have taken place, because he would be dead (after being tortured in a similar manner). That may seem extreme to some but animals are the absolute innocent victim and perpetrators of such vile acts on an absolute innocent, shows the true depravity of a person and they would easily do it to a person. Animal abusers do not face harsh enough crimes and the legal system does not recognize how strong the link is between those crimes and violent crimes against people.

While most of what you say is true, there is no link to murderer's and animal abuse, millions of people abuse animals but do not murder

[@sainjawoof3506]

@@roslynbyers5415 your statement is 💯 incorrect, there's been proof of a relationship between animal abuse and serious violent crimes for decades. Thompson, the National Sheriff’s Association deputy director says, “We need to take animal cruelty seriously if we’re going to start solving other crimes-but it took me 20 years to accept that.” The FBI "elevated animal cruelty to its own category in the system, to be tracked alongside crimes such as homicide and arson." However, "(animal cruelty is not a mandatory part of police training (officers can choose to take it as a module)." "Eighty percent of law enforcement still doesn’t know about that link, but once you show them, they get it right away,” Thompson says. “It’s huge. The more people know about it, the more crimes we’re going to solve.” "1986, a study in the International Journal of Law and Psychiatry found that almost half of rapists and a third of child molesters reported committing animal abuse during childhood or adolescence. In 2001, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention determined that nearly two-thirds of inmates who commit crimes of aggression might also abuse animals. More recently, a study by the Chicago Police Department “revealed a startling propensity for offenders charged with crimes against animals to commit other violent offenses toward human victims.” A survey of women in domestic-violence shelters indicated that 71 percent had partners who abused or threatened to abuse pets."People who commit animal cruelty are usually criminals in other ways." theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/08/melinda-merck-veterinary-forensics/538575/

I agree he should be kept away from society probably forever, but I’m struggling with whether it should be in a prison or mental institution. I’m no bleeding heart, but I do think that people who have been deemed to indeed have mental illness shouldn’t be punished for something that the mental illness caused them to do. So again for those who’re going to try and label me whatever they want, I do not think this boy should be released back into society where he could hurt people again, however jails are for punishment. They stopped rehabilitating people in jail a long time so therefore, I’d suggest he be sent to a mental institution. Not a bleeding heart but I also don’t have some sort of blood lust for punishment and don’t just want to throw away the key for everyone who sets foot in a court house. What he did was horrible but if mental illness is the reason, then a mental institution should suffice. They are not an easier alternative to prison as some people (including Defendant’s who will feign mental illness in order to be sentenced to a mental institution) incorrectly think. These places are max security prisons/hospitals which in addition to being a prison also offer them cognitive behavior therapy and any other treatment for mental illness that their particular condition requires.

He always just seemed to be a relatively quiet, sometimes moody, sometimes serene, ultra-skinny skater looking kid. I remember him having a sly-and-dry kind of humor, nothing especially macabre. Then one day, he vanished, and most of us didn't really know what had happened. The absence dragged on longer and longer... but the confused silence did not. At that time, Davis was hell of a sleepy town, and the shock was palpable.
