P.s. I think you told this story with the utmost respect it deserves.

[@DaysofHorror]

We weren't sure if it was still too early to go into this story, but, as it was all over the news and the culprit was caught, we decided to do it. Also, we had quite a few people contacting us asking us to cover this story before we decided to do it.

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

Filled in some "blanks" and VERY well put across. I actually went looking for Lynsay on the Coppice as a friend of mine knew her. The other sad part is that our justice system is not fit for purpose this bloke should NEVER be released.

@@therossendalerambler-mikei7294 I agree with your assessment of the broken justice system, 100%

Great video Chris and vickie. So sad what a beautiful lady R.I.P leynsey ❤

16yrs before being considered for release. That would make him 32yrs old. He should never be released.

[@looloo4029]

Yes, should be marked “NEVER TO BE RELEASED “

[@Jkk55]

Thank you for telling the story of this poor lady what a horrible thing to happen to her, RIP Lindsay and my condolences go to the family. I hope the monster is never released. You are always respectful when talking about the poor victims of crime.

[@DaysofHorror]

Thanks for watching as always Jules. One story we really struggled with to be fair.

[@STESTOOGE]

These stories as you said Chris need to be retold,the victims are always forgotten and the perpetrators seem to be the ones remembered.The Yorkshire Ripper is a classic example, his notoriety was such that his victims( the real tragedy) are overlooked.Well done mate,your video was respectful and obviously well researched.Great content mate.

[@DaysofHorror]

Many thanks Ste, it means a lot that. We have a couple of stories recorded today, one being another unsolved murder but also one with a twist 👀

[@andreavander6197]

Poor lady said with respect . ❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Daysofhorror-vickie]

It was a hard story to cover with it being on our door step so to speak. Even walking on the coppice which she did regular, felt uneasy. Thanks for watching and commenting Andrea 😊

[@donnabooth9904]

I really enjoyed watching your new video tonight my heart goes out to Lindsay's family x😢😢

[@lazarus4936]

Tragic and shocking story about this poor lady shared in a respectful way . Condolences to all Lindsay's family and loved ones

[@DaysofHorror]

Thanks Lazarus. We struggled with covering this as it's a recent story. We thought long and hard about it that's for sure and like you, we send our thoughts and condolences to all her family.

[@brendashenda4249]

This is very good, you are very thorough with the detail. Any ideas on: Where was she for five days? Where did he get the wheelie bin? Whose it it? Why remove the soles of her shoes?

[@DaysofHorror]

There are loads of questions we should really do a follow-up video on. We have talked about doing 'debrief' videos from home, talking about the recent stories we have covered and answering questions people comment on. I think this story could help to be the first debrief we could do.

[@leighratcliffe9161]

Tragic story. Good work telling this story.

[@magaz]

This one was really close to home for me. There was a definite tension in the air in the area, people didn’t know if this was a one off thing or if it could happen again. Seeing the posters go up on every available lamp post and in peoples windows. Seeing the posts of people organising search parties. (We had a young baby at the time and didn’t take part, but we walked the local woods frequently - and still do. We were a lot more vigilant and I would often think “what’s that” and climb into a bush partly hoping not to find anything at all.) I remember one day during the middle of the search efforts seeing two people dressed in suits walking towards our front gate. We had just spent well over an hour with a crying small person trying to get her to sleep. And what I thought was a couple of religious door knockers were making a b-line for our front door with no idea that they were about to wake up a sleeping demon. I scrambled for the keys and threw the door open as the guy was about to knock hushing him almost aggressively before stepping out towards him and closing the door behind me. Turns out he was a detective and looking for CCTV that might help. I don’t think he expected a sleep deprived new father to ambush him as the door opened. But he was understanding!

[@DaysofHorror]

We weren't sure to cover this story or not, but people did contact us about it and as the case was closed, we feel it's not like we are informing people of a story no one had heard about and we think we covered it sensitively. Just hope the family are finding some closure but it will take time to heal.

[@matparks08]

Good video as always, but a tragic tale indeed. 😔

[@DaysofHorror]

Many thanks Matt 🙏

[@donna9374]

Forget you not Lindley Birbeck❤ Godbless your loved ones🙏

[@DaysofHorror]

Nicely said. Horrendous crime 😢

[@gingermolly234]

When you released this video I couldn't bring myself to watch it, as this was such a shocking crime. I can understand why Vicky didn't want to be involved. Your narrative was sensitivity done. At the time I questioned if this was a safe conviction.

[@shirleybezuidenhout2724]

Wow 😮 how sad 😢 but very good that they found her body, her family were probably very glad about that, which would give her family closure. 😢

[@dannyrolfe8953]

Deeply Tragic Story. Very sensitivity told

[@john-k6k6w]

So Sad the Poor Lady R.I.P very Respectfully Told my Friend

[@ShilohSmith]

We searched and searched for poor Lindsey, I remember me and a group of friends and some other people we didn’t even know. We were out in the local forest areas l, searching and putting up posters WELL into early morning hours. To the point we became delirious by the end of it, the need to find her mixed with the FEAR of finding her. It was awful, but absolutely nothing compared to what Lindsey suffered. It’s crazy that it’s been so long since this happened, I remember it so clearly as I’m sure many of us locals do. The cemetery she was found in, was RIGHT behind my old home so this felt immensely personal. Im glad she was found, I just wish we had been able to find her before it was too late.

[@DaysofHorror]

I work in Hapton and remember it like it was only yesterday and remember driving past on the day of her funeral. Such a tragic case in every respect.

[@ShilohSmith]

@@DaysofHorrorI bet Lindsay would have been extremely touched and grateful for the effort we all put in. We really wanted to find her. I hope she’s resting peacefully.

[@ShilohSmith]

@@DaysofHorroralso Hapton woods we’re the exact woods we were searching, we thought it would be a good place to check considering all the steep cliffs and inclines.

[@jeepsthetimebandit]

I remember this one being in the news. I'm glad he didn't get any lenient kind of sentence because of his autism. I have aspergers and ADD, but I've never hurt a soul, let alone murder anyone! My thoughts are with Lindsay's family.

[@grottybt5006]

If he was from a different community his low IQ would qualify as mental health problems.

[@nicolalangham9554]

Hi I'm a new subscriber. I find your videos really interesting. Please could you cover the case of the pottery cottage murders? It would be interesting to know where the victims lie in rest.

[@DaysofHorror]

Now that sound ominous. Pottery cottage murders? I may have heard something but not sure. I'll take a look this weekend. Also, many many thanks for subscribing!

[@nicolalangham9554]

@@DaysofHorror lovely. It is such a tragic and sad case. Thank you. I look forward to watching your other videos.

[@kashifzia9005]

Your hard jab❤❤❤

[@tombaker4586]

It's like and epidemic nowadays, all those husbands or partners with their loved one going missing, many times it is murder of someone they PRETEND to love. I think more and more people than ever think the world revolves them. Tom, Belgium.

[@stebishopnomad1838]

My son has autism and ADHD but his iq is phanominal. Another very well put together and excellent video you two, this murder touched my self and my sons mother.😢

[@vicsaunders9710]

You and your good wife do make interesting videos 👍👏🇬🇧

[@DaysofHorror]

Many thanks Vic. We try our best, not only at getting out to film them, but also to try and find these stories that in many cases have been forgotten about. The Lindsay Birbeck story we were reluctant to do to begin with, but a couple of people politely asked us to cover it. Modern stories we tend to shy away from, as you can probably tell, but everynow and then, something does get mentioned and we try to accomodate our viewers best we can.

[@AcornElectron]

41:10 I’m still not sure you know. There are a lot of stories still going around here about ‘someone else did it and Rocky is just doing the time for them because you don’t grass and you do what you’re told in some communities’. That’s just speculation of course.

[@stebishopnomad1838]

Yes we were in the search,my son lives near her house. terrible how she was mutilated to fitt in the bin 😥

[@JacquelineHobbs-m7h]

was "rocky" perhaps also a "victim"?

[@DaysofHorror]

It has been said by a few that he wasnt responsible for Lindsay's death, especially by his family and friends.

[@stebishopnomad1838]

There's things about this video you don't know about. But I'm afraid you don't realise that autistic people mostly have no empathy. did you know she was having an affair whilst married. Her husband isn't totally pure..we know a few things you don't if we meet up anytime I Will tell you. Great video though.

[@tmcurly]

Out of breath!??☺️

[@annebeckettmorris577]

lots from the area do not believe that Rocky killed Lindsay

[@DaysofHorror]

We did spend sometime thinking to cover this or not, but like a couple of other stories, we got people asking us if we would do it. I honestly don't know what to think. I think I say in the video Rocky was guilty, but I don't know now. A few people have said the same, he is isn't.

[@AcornElectron]

Aw… no… still too soon man. Yeah… too soon. I love your stuff but this was fucking horrible and literally down the road from me. I don’t care what all the nobheads say about her personal life, she was just a person. Cardiac is the trail on that side of the hill really not the actual hill, the one that goes up the centre not the winding one that you’re on.

[@DaysofHorror]

Cardiac Hill was a difficult one to pin down. Many said it was the path we were on so we had to go with that 🫤. But thanks for clarifying Konix. That was the first time we had walked in that location, got to say, not a place I would want to visit alone. That might be because of what happened, but it just felt claustrophobic in places.

[@AcornElectron]

Lovely on a sunny day but yes, if you’re alone up there it can feel very isolated to say it’s in the middle of Accrington and a park.

[@paulmurphy2144]

Good video Chris, but I do take issues when anyone with learning differculties are prosecuted for any crime. I was waiting for you to mention DNA linking the young lad. If that was my son I would demand it as the case of Stefan kiszko and the forced and fabricated evidence the police made up imprisoning him on a crime he never committed

[@Jkk55]

Just out of curiosity did Rocky deny being involved? (Apart from being paid to get rid of the body) did I hear correctly that his parent took him to the police surely, they must have had reason to do so?

[@paulmurphy2144]

@@Jkk55 my first inclination was they must have alot of respect and faith in their own son. Still say the police have fitted up, many people with learning differculties up in the past for a quick conviction. Listening to Chris I never heard DNA linking the boy to the crime, which to me sounds very weird and suspicious. If you read Timothy Evans statements, he confessed to actually killing his wife and we all know the truth there.

[@DaysofHorror]

Strange thing was, we never once saw anything mentioning DNA that belonged to Rocky 🤔 I know they found one of Lindsay's trainers that had also been cut up to try and either dispose of it or to hide some evidence but we never read anything mentioning DNA which is odd.

[@paulmurphy2144]

@@DaysofHorror that to me would set off alarm bells chris

[@daveflick12]

Good story telling, I thought Id thought I heard of this story, I knew when you shown the blue bin. Haven't a clue who has done it though.
