@Ban Me Nots, I Want You To Remember yes but the 13 year old boy heard screams coming from outside when she was taken. the little boy immediately told his brother and called 911 and the big brother took off after the car that Anita was forced into but unfortunately lost the car.

I found it kind of comforting that these people heard the scream and rather than ignore it, or just call the police and leave it, they actually went out and tried to help. Classic aussies tbh

[@lauren9004]

Right! Aussies and a lot of British people would do that. I’m British and I currently live in the US and truthfully Americans wouldn’t do that. Idk if they are scared that the perpetrator has a gun but they don’t really do anything apart from ignore or call 911. They wouldn’t make this much of an effort lol.

[@A88-p5e]

@@lauren9004 yes I'd suspect you're probably right and it has a lot to do with gun crime in the US. There, the first thing they are probably thinking is that "that perpetrator probably has a gun I need to stay safe" whereas in other places you might think "this person needs help" before you even consider there might be weapons involved. Although I believe this crime was before the gun ban laws existed in Australia. However, the 80s were also a very different time

This whole case is so heartbreaking but to me especially the fact that her husband must have been so happy that week in his mind he’s moving back in with the love of his life he’s going to start that life they dreamed of and then she’s just dead

[@nicolegonzalez8364]

I read a book a while ago on this case and her husband went through a lot. She was the love of life, and he changed his name due to the guilt and association it had, he got into drugs and then spent a long time hiding from knowing the details of the case. I think a few years ago, maybe 2013-2017, he changed his name back and has watched documentaries on it and learned about the case. The book is titled “Remembering Anita Cobby” and its fairly new book, from 2015?

The first time I found this case I couldn’t sleep after. It was just so brutal and violent, and my mind couldn’t even imagine it.

I’ve only started the video so idk if this fact is mentioned, but when the boy followed the car to the field with an adult, they saw an abandoned car on the side of the road by the field, which was the same model as the car that kidnapped Anita Cobby. The boy and adult didn’t see anyone around the car, they shone the torch onto the field and saw nothing, so they left. It turns out that the killers heard the car of the boy and adult pull up, and they all got on the floor and covered Anita’s mouth, they saw a torch shine onto the field and stayed hidden on the floor and saw the two people leave. If only the two people had shone their torches down further, they would have seen the killers hurting Anita Cobby and she may still be alive today 💔

She had also had bone cancer which resulted in her losing her leg, and if I’m not mistaken, the remains were found because of her prosthetic leg. It’s a case that really impacted my hometown and my childhood, and the ten year anniversary passed in 2020.

My 68 year old dad is a very old school tough man but this is one case that broke his heart, he said he balled his eyes out when this happened to Anita and still struggles to talk about it today, he didn't even want me to read a book he had about it. I think it stuck with a whole generation in Australia sadly!

bella i don’t think i’ve ever seen ur hair this long

Happened 5 minutes from my house, my dad went to high school with one of the men that murdered her. Dad says this case still gives him nightmares

[@tiffanyironrage3872]

Those ppl who heard the screams and then know the out come must be broken. Also at the funeral my heart broke for her husband . 😔 This is so tragic

[@pinkfluffydino8217]

It does restore some of my faith in humanity though. You hear cases like LuluLemon and so many people heard her screaming and calling for someone to help her and they just decided they didn’t want anything to do with “their drama” and did nothing at all while that poor young woman was brutalized and murdered! I hear way too many cases where this happens and it blows me away that people are so self centered that they can’t even be bothered to call the police. You don’t even have to be involved past dialing 3 numbers and giving a the location, you can call it in anonymously! It always makes me feel just a little bit better to know that there are some decent human beings left out there. I pray that those poor boys weren’t too traumatized by the fact that they weren’t able to find her and save her. I hope they take some comfort in at least having tried and that they ultimately did the right the right thing even if it didn’t have the desired outcome.

I live in Sydney and Blacktown is still known as one of the most unsafe places around.

You know what's better than going for a walk in the morning going for a run in the morning it's a relaxing feeling

Bella’s not wearing any awesome earrings today👀

[@diablocell]

@SeeNoEvilHearNoEvil showing off her wild earrings is a part of her content. It is odd for her to not have any on, not even a repeat.

[@alyssaharvey7471]

@@diablocell it isn’t “odd” 😂😂 she often says on more intense and upsetting cases she doesn’t wear them bc the focus should be on the victim.

[@AliceA333]

@@alyssaharvey7471Huh? All of the content for this day of the week is intense, she still always wears silly earrings. Every single week. It's weird that she isn't, and it's immediately noticable.

[@nicolakelly3263]

that poor woman! people are truly monsters! little not so fun fact but still to this day- when a new group is going through the NSW police academy, the crime photos from this case are shown and any person who walks out or can’t look at the screen, is cut from the program. this is how horrific the crime scene photos are.

[@laurenwhite4365]

This is the first case in a long time that’s made me cry :(

[@courtneymark10]

literally my fav series on youtube EVER!!❤️

[@TrueCrimeQueen]

Love Mystery Mondays! Stay safe everyone ❤️

[@baileesclubhouse2328]

So heartbreaking 💔 the description of how broken John became had me in tears. She was not only beautiful on the outside but inside as well as she was a nurse who helped so many.

[@nikitajain8159]

We get a small cut and it hurts so much nobody can ever know what the people who go through these types of vicious attacks go through. Hope her family is healthy ❤

[@Tdubs98]

I just wanna say this was really well made, the editing and the effort to source everything! Very well done! Love the inclusion of all the interview clips/images

[@TheChrischris27]

this story always terrifies me and gives me the shivers. blacktown still isn't the safest area to walk around especially at night.

[@isabelcolthrust6937]

This story is really heavy. I haven’t felt so emotional watching one of these in a long time

[@vali4487]

You’re killing us with part 1.... 😁 looking forward to see part 2! 🤗 You’re doing an amazing job!

[@butterkuup]

Daaaamn, this really breaks my heart :(

[@silviaquintero2206]

This is the first time I cried during one of these. I’m devastated for the family.

[@babybluecheeks]

I heard about this case a while ago, its horrific what they did to Anita.

[@BrunaRibeiroUSA]

Yay a solved case!! Please do more of those

[@reviebyrnes9527]

I’m crying my eyes out and I’m only half way through. The sadness on the fathers face and just imagining the amount of pain the family have been through. For what? For a psychopaths 5 minutes of fun?? A whole life taken 😢

[@muumonyt]

just the video gave me goosebumps this is the most gruesome case for me
