SOLVED: The Devastating Case of Pelin Kaya: MURDERER ADMITS HE'S A "PROUD PSYCHOPATH" BEFORE MURDER

Having anti social personality disorder is actually pretty dangerous and not an excuse. A simple asshole or jerk does not murder people unless there's something more wrong. Again, it doesn't justify the actions.

All my respect to you, Rachel! You are uploading very often and introduce us to lesser known and/or international cases. Thank you

[@RachelShannon]

Thank you so much!

[@barbrothers2]

I love that you cover international cases. I'm so sick of true crime channels that cover the same old stories, these stories from other countries need to be heard too.

[@RachelShannon]

There definitely are! There’s plenty

[@nunyabeeswax256]

I'd just like to remind you to do your due diligence and actually take the 30 seconds to click on a creator's profile. If you go back to her early vids, they're all Jon Bonet, Madeline McCan, Stacy Peterson, Caylee Anthony, etc. Every true crime channel I've watched starts with those because those are what get the most views. That being said, I do agree Rachel cover some lesser known caes now that she already has a good following and doesn't need to go fishing for views. But before jumping to conclusions about other channels, go ahead and look at their "about" tab which will tell you when that channel was created.

[@barbrothers2]

@@nunyabeeswax256 ​ It doesn't matter what she started with, it matters what she's covering now. There are channels with a million subs still covering the same murders we've heard a million times before, and they're covering them NOW. Like, I recall one big true crime youtuber(don't remember who) making a video about the Tylenol Deaths last year, when every true crime watcher already knows about that case. I would never give grief to a new youtuber for covering old cases, I just wouldn't watch them. But I don't like when big youtubers cover famous cases-its just a money grab. They aren't really bringing any new exposure to cases because their fan base will largely be aware of those cases already. Rachel's videos that I've watched over the past six months or so have exposed me to cases I would have otherwise never heard of, and that means other people likely would have never heard of them. I appreciate her putting in the effort to research cases from different countries despite language barriers.

Rachel, first of all, thank you for reporting this atrocity correctly. Pelin is my cousin I grew up with, my precious sister. I live in America; that morning, I called my mother first and said I would call my sister later, but when I called my mother, I learned that I had lost my sister. I will never forget what I experienced that morning and how I greeted my sister without hugging her a few hours after we both returned to our country. This man is a sane villain. At the last hearing, his lawyer asked him to go through psychological control again to prolong the case process. The following case is on March 16. I am no longer living, my family is no longer living, and we have turned into a corpse walking on the ground. Thank you for empathizing with our pain without making it magazine material. Take care of yourself.

[@Krazy4Pink_Kerry]

The drugs just allowed him to act on the thoughts and feelings he already had in his depraved & evil mind. Such a senseless crime. I pray Pelin is at peace and her friends and family are able to get through this heartbreaking incident.

This is what always makes me furious. A person showing violence for years and nobody stops them. It must end in a big tragedy, usually with innocent victim(s) for the monster to be stopped... Gosh, I hate the system. It fails innocent good people. In each and every country all around the world. Pelin celebrated her 30th and last birthday. What a tragedy for her, her bf, her family, because nobody stopped a monster rolling dangerously around FOR YEARS!!! Drugs or not, there were already other victims of his behavior!

Rachel, I completely agree with what you said about this sorry excuse for a human being. I absolutely think he intentionally hit Pelin. I don’t think his drug use was to blame. Maybe the drugs gave him less inhibitions but he already wanted to kill someone. He’s disgusting. I’m not writing his name on purpose because I also agree that he deserves ZERO ATTENTION! He should go to prison for the rest of his life and be forgotten. Pelin Kaya is the person who should get all the remembrance. May she Rest in Peace.

[@txtoco5579]

Sharing his name does not mean you care nor does it give him any attention. Sharing his name and using him as a reference for analysis of people who act like he did, can help to have more information to stop the next person who acts like him. If we just sweep him under the rug we then do a disservice to the entire world by avoiding talking about the root issues. If we ignore him we ignore the facts that could lead us to see in another person similar behavior and avoid any other person potential harm in the process.

Hi Rachel, THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! I am used to seeing a lot of true crime videos and what is really different with you is that you ONLY FOCUS ON FACTS !!!! This is amazing ! You don't even spent a second discussing about Jeremy's family, his childhood , his life or whatever and THIS IS AMAZING ! I'm tired of the videos gaving informations on all of this, we don't care ! Nothing, Nothing in this world can explain, justify or give any "excuse" or cause for what he have done ! No one forced him to do it, no one threatened him ! He decided to take drugs, he decided to drive fast, he decided that he was going to kill somebody that night, he decided to throw stones at that poor girl on the ground after overthrowing her, he decided to attack the police ! Even if he was drugged he was conscious of what he was doing ! Unfortunately I saw the video and when he got out off the car he wasn’t panicked, confused, lost, NO he walked to the girl calmly looking for stones to throw on her. I hate it when lawyers try to make them look crazy or irresponsible for their actions !!!! In this case there is NO question of madness, this guy is a piece of S...... he don't even deserved to be called a human being for me...Pelin was so beautiful , talented and young, she had all her life in front of her, this is unacceptable ! Thank you again for not given him any attention, the only thing he deserves is to be locked in a jail till the end of his miserable life with the most dangerous criminals of all times surrounding him and become their "thing" then he will understand what it is to be a victim ! I pray for Pelin's family, I saw so much horrible stories but this one is the most , forgive me for this words ... stupid and painful because it was as you said, at the time at the wrong place I'm sure that her boyfriend and friends will forever be thinking : if she had left a few minutes later...if her boyfriend had picked her up at the restaurant and not on the way, if she didn't returned when she came to see her parents in Turkey....this is really hard.
