Truly how lucky for that little girl. Much love to her and her family.

The idea that the man who killed Betty Willis was robbing her with his pants down is ridiculous. What a pathetic attempt at an excuse. Another excellent video. Thank you, Ana, and thanks to all your guests and team. Your professionalism and compassion are much appreciated. xx

We’ll done Joseph Fenity for helping this case and giving it the attention it deserved. Well done. May she now rest in peace. Brilliant justice. Cannot believe that poor lady at 76 was beaten and raped … man caught in the act took this long on camera. Shocking court system work - bad form

[@fenity]

Amen.

[@susanclow5384]

Thank you for having Joseph Fenity on. I also felt sad and angry the police dismissed this case for so long due the fact she was homeless. They label people not knowing they are much more then that label. I'm happy Joseph got involved and helped this case along.

[@fenity]

Thank you so much, Susan. I’m happy we’ve finally given Betty Willis her voice back.

[@nicolew4877]

When I saw about the little girl missing, I thought there’s no way they’ll find her alive. What a true miracle! ❤

[@jwsuicides8095]

So wonderful that Charlotte was found alive. Well done to the police. I hope her and her family can get the support they need to work through the aftermath. Wishing them every healing. 🙏

[@jwsuicides8095]

...listening further to the sequence of events: so good that the mother and the community immediately got to work to try and find Charlotte. Ana is SO right about that sense of freedom as a child when you're riding your bike. Although I was only allowed to go in to the parallel street it was the best. :)

[@abelis644]

​@@jwsuicides8095 I'm 64, I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. Those were the days when we kids would leave home after breakfast, play until lunch, leave again until dinner, then would be gone again until the street lights came on.😅 We'd ride our bikes all over the neighbourhood. They were also the days when all adults looked out for us and would give us heck if we misbehaved. The freedom we had is impossible today and I feel bad for kids now.

[@jwsuicides8095]

@@abelis644 I was also a kid in the 60s/70s. Here in the UK a lot of things changed due to the infamous "moors murders" in the 60s. It alerted parents that there were some very sick predators/murderers out there - and that included women. We did get to "go out and play" but with boundaries. It was the best fun!

[@helenoharawhite7704]

Excellent episode. Two horror stories this week. Justice for both but omg - Betty waited so so long. No reason can excuse this delay. Well done Joseph Fenity for your kind heart & dedication. Best wishes to you all and have a great weekend guys xxx

Every murder should be properly investigated no matter who the victim was. Also homeless people with no "fancy past" deserves justice!

[@juliejustus6878]

What do you mean by " fancy past"?

[@mariap.9240]

@@juliejustus6878 I mean "normal" people, people who had no special talent or something like that. She should've get justice just because she was a human being, not because someone researched her past and made it public. I hope it's understandable, English is not my first language.

[@sngray11]

Ana and Luis, I always love when you are on this podcast together! 💗 I am so relieved that Betty Jane Willis finally received the justice that she deserved. Also, it is so rare that child abduction cases end with a happy ending, so it was a very happy Monday the other week when Charlotte was found alive and reunited with her family. I wish them all of the best on their healing journey. Rest in peace Betty. 🌹

I agree! Luis is definitely the best guest. He makes great points, but doesn't interrupt or talk over Ana like most of the other guests.

[@patriciaburns1033]

I love True Crime Daily but I must tell you that Charlottes parents have asked for her face to no longer be shown so I think you should remove her image from your thumbnail to help her recover from this horrible event.

[@danchinoloves7804]

​@@Shugar212 but your desire to see the child face doesn't trump her desire to recover from the trauma that she has now got to work through for the rest of her life. Sometimes media do more harm to surviving victims after the perpetrator has been sentenced. Its common sense to leave them to heal. Before you say her face is out there yes it was because they were trying to find her but she's been found alive thank god

[@keiragalaise6435]

The defense's feeble argument that it was a "robbery gone bad" is ludacris on two levels: A) It's probably safe to assume that a homeless person isn't really going to have anything worth stealing, and B) I don't care what language barriers may or may not exist, it's a universal understanding that pulling one's pants down either before, during or after the commission of the crime is not required.

Thank you for covering the case of Betty Willis. I remember when I first heard about it on this channel I haven't heard about it before not even in the true crime community. I dont like to say it but bc she was homeless and of color, that is why it wasn't heard and tried especially with all that evidence. Thats why, it happens to us all the time.

I full-time RV and work in different resorts every season. I have often remarked how parents stop parenting the moment they pull in the parking lot. I've seen 3 year olds riding their electric scooters all over a 300-site campground with hotel and cabins, so easily 1000 people could be staying there. Imagine how many pedophiles must be there too. Look at a map of registered offenders in your neighborhood. It will shock you how many there are.

Wonderful news for both stories in this video. But everyone on the panel kept saying they don't understand why the case took so long to come to justice. I can clear that up for you quickly... 1. She was an African-American Woman 2. She was homeless That's just a FACT. In many circumstances crimes against Black people are not taken as seriously or don't get the same effort and resources afforded other races. This was even the case when there was a clear video of the rapist/killer in the act! Unfortunately this is something us as African-Americans have had to deal with and are still dealing with in our own country. THANK YOJustice and Crime Watch Daily for seeing past her color and circumstance and bringing her case to light. If it weren't for you all doing this- I don't believe she would have gotten justice.

In the second episode. you got to understand that Betty Willis was homeless, not only that. She was also a coloured woman.
