The Case of Sarah Everard

In early 2021, Sarah Everard was walking home from a friend's house in London at roughly 9pm. She never made it there. What would follow would be a massive investigation, and lead to an outrage which would spread across the globe.

I find it extremely hard to believe that she is his only victim. To escalate from flashing to rape and murder so quickly is just difficult to wrap my mind around. I think he's done this at least once before.

[@gidget3467]

Has anyone seen the show (I’m forgetting the name 🤔but think it’s on Netflix) where the U.K. police track & arrest shoplifters? I actually think it may have been based in London. When I watched it I was astounded by the level of coordination across all types of CCTV available. They could track- in real time- a person going in and out of stores, through the city, etc… for miles! Super interesting for someone like me who doesn’t live in Europe.

[@katybug6572]

Ikr.. ugh, thank goodness for cameras.. and there was definitely someone watching out over her to at least get her some justice.. unfortunately too bad the devil won in this case but thankfully this monster was apprehended swiftly and justly so he can never ever do this horrendous act ever again to any innocent person.. ugh I wish demons like this never existed in this world.. :( Rest In Peace Sarah.. 💜🙏✌️

[@natfrog]

@@gidget3467 if you watch any CCTV of Grace Miller- the amount of CCTV is insane, there was even a camera in the Uber the murderer took. literally shows every minute of their “date” from them walking to the bar separately to then entering his apartment a few hours later. and then everything after that. we need cctv like that everywhere so that all crimes can be resolved so quickly 🙌

[@TheDramacist]

I joined the police and was trained at Ashford, Kent back in 2001. I was only 18. But I can tell you, some of the people who get in are not right in the head. The selection process seemed to favour cut throat personalities with no critical thinking skills. More than a few sociopathic oddballs with issues joined my cohort. I found the people I worked with so weird and ineffectual, I left the force within 2 yrs and looked for other ways to serve my community. One officer even fancied his chances with me, and pursued me long after I left, having made it clear I wasnt interested in him. He gave me the creeps! 15 yrs later, he's arrested for corruption, using prostitutes and stealing thousands over the years from the evidence locker. Since then, Ive worked in frontline healthcare, with a particular interest in psychpharmacology for my post-grad. So I can reflect on my time with those officers and feel confident my analysis of their personality disorders to be quite accurate. Im not saying they're all bad! There were also a few gems at police academy. But most left within a year.

Today we are led by criminals, who can't do enough for the USA, to the point we see us doing things today, we should never be doing, and have no right at all to be doing, and unbelievably doing so, before being asked, or should I say ordered by the USA, our overlords. We have nobody in this country that could or would offer to take us away from this USA stranglehold, they've had on us since 1945. And that is without any question at all going to see this country either attacked and badly beaten, or wiped out, and there is nothing at all we can do about it, or anyone else can do about it, today, we are the USA's alarm clock, who do all of you think is going to pay for all these lies, all these deceits and falsehoods being spoken by our own? The American? Or YOU? Is there a better target in this world than the undefended UK, for let's say either Russia or China to simply blow from the face of this earth than us? I can't think of one. To both Russia and China, removing the UK would see the USA immediately back down, back off and want talks. And that's great, only not for us, as we were the USA's alarm clock, If we get wiped out, the USA knows they've gone too far. I'd suggest you all start thinking about that, and not now, not tomorrow, but right now, and if any of you actually believe a word you've heard coming from this government? You're only an enemy to the rest of us in this country, today. It doesn't take a genius to see how wrong we really are. It would take an absolute fool, to believe we are right, or even within any relation of being right. We could not be any more wrong, could not be any more dangerous, and could not be any more stupid, than we are right now, today, this minute.

[@hotstepper887]

TRUTH IS AS RARE AS HENS TEETH TODAY! But must always be heard. In 2015, Russia exposed the USA to the entire world, for supporting terrorists in Syria, and that forced the USA to admit to the whole world, that they had recruited - Trained - Armed - Supplied - Protected - Paid - and used brutal terrorists, the “Free Syria Army”, sorry I forgot, today, the Americans like the term “moderate head chopping fake rebels”, it's only terrorists to the rest of this world, my mistake. And do you know, that not one American, of any race or colour, has ever condemned it? Not one has done the right thing, and stood up against it? Or even protested against it? As every other society on earth, would be doing, if any of their governments were forced to admit what the USA admitted. What don't you all understand? The only society we've ever seen do this before, (not even protest against their own country's killing, once the people found out) was Nazi Germany 1933-1945, and that's the only time in modern history, that the people of any society, have done what these American people are today, or rather, what they're not doing! Far from seeing anyone of them against it?. What is the reality, what do we really see? We see millions of Americans cheering their criminal president?, and we see millions of Americans chanting USA USA USA?, (just like Nazi's) today. And we have never seen a single American, of any race or colour, stand up against it, why not? What's worse is, that we can understand today why the German people did what they did. They were starving to death with the harshness of the Versailles treaty, while also suffering and dying in large numbers during the great depression, so quite naturally they'd of supported absolutely anything that offered them hope! The American people have no such excuse. Their very own self-righteousness and their cowardly arrogance and refusal to even protest against that is appalling. It's actually really sick. 2018, Teresa May announces strikes on Syria, within 3 hours literally hundreds of thousands of people are stood outside Parliament protesting against it. 2018, Emmanuel Macron announces strikes on Syria, that evening hundreds of thousands start protesting in Paris. 2015, Russia exposes the US for supplying terrorists, forcing the US to admit what they're doing in Syria. And still 5 years later not a single American has even condemned it, let alone protested against it. This is the biggest problem facing this world today? The American people don't know right from wrong any more. And when you tell them, or ask them why they're doing nothing? These people will call you names or something as intelligent? Americans believe, supporting your own country (no matter what), is the patriotic thing to do! Unbelievably, this is exactly what these people really think today. Only, hat's not patriotism at all. It's not even close, but it is the complete opposite, It's treason, It's treachery. Americans are not patriots, as we see them all bizarrely claim all the time, because quite incredibly, they clearly don't have a clue what patriotism really is? To the rest of the world, being wholeheartedly (against) what your country is doing, when it's doing things it shouldn't, is known as being patriotic, (and even more so than it is when proudly supporting and praising your country for doing something good, or something helpful, or something right). This is something these people really do not understand! Yet it's so obvious! Because when you know it's doing those wrongs to other people, to support it, or to ignore it, or even worse, to deny it? Is actually committing treason against one's own country? Why? Obviously as you'd be, in effect, supporting the rot, supporting the corruption, supporting the terrorism, supporting the brutal murder of innocent people, and supporting your own country breaking International Law! That's what you're doing by supporting it, ignoring it, or worse, denying It. And that's no different from supporting your very own country's demise! And that's known as treachery! Not patriotism!!! The (people) of any society, only ever need to remember ONE DAMN thing??, that the easy way to figure out the right, from the wrong, (in any likely war scenario), is to simply ask yourself what you'd be fighting for? Because the answer to that question, should be showing you whose right, and whose wrong? So, If you all just ask yourselves if, the USA went to war today, against either Russia, China, Iran, or N. Korea? Then what would you all be fighting for? Now, ask yourselves what would the Russians, Chinese, Iranian's, or Korean's be fighting for? And you'll come to find, they'll all be fighting for their freedom, fighting for their own country's freedom. While you'll only be fighting for American global tyranny! That's what you're all, in effect, supporting today?, and if you really can't see that? Well, really, all I can say to that, is, the Nazi was just like that, they couldn't see it either! You'll be seen by history as the Axis powers, trying for American Tyranny over the rest of the world, who will all be seen by history, as the allied powers, fighting for their own freedom. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! You're all in for one hell of a shock, when you eventually get around to thinking for yourselves?, only by then, it will be far too late, and the bombs will be falling?, then, and only then, will we see and hear you all crying, and all sobbing, asking, what's going on?

[@hotstepper887]

I promise you, if any of you had a clue what we are all watching today?, you'd be mortified! This absolute and outright denial, we see from so many of you, today, will only affect and harm all of you. That's just something you've not got around to understanding yet. But you need too. I can tell everyone exactly what it is we are all watching take place today! I can make sense of all of it. Everything we've seen, and are going to see. Only you watch people read this, and only because they don't want to believe this, will we then see them all only try to deny this? And they'll deny it, while being unable to give a single reason, for their denial?, or even being able to offer anything themselves?, (that makes any sense), but they'll try and tell me I'm wrong? This really is the mentality we're really dealing with today, you'd like to think everyone would want to know and understand? Or at least try?. Only today, it seems that nobody cares, or has even tried to work any of this out? But it's not even rocket science?, it's actually pretty obvious?, only it's the consequences of what this means, that people can't comprehend today?, so they all just deny it. Well, how much longer can they all continue to deny this? Where to start? Well, what we have all seen, and what we all really do know?, is always a good place to start, right? So, let's just look at what we really have seen? Honesty is also key, without that you have nothing, and bullshit helps nobody. So, what have we really seen? We've seen all Western governments, and the mainstream media, following the same scripted lies, (and that's unprecedented in history), so, we must surely know that it's got to be leading to something huge, something catastrophic? So, let's try to explain it all? And explain it in a way we can all understand? The USA has known for many years that their economy had to collapse, (and they've actually planned for it). Here's how, and why... They've been printing enormous amounts of currency, while also always increasing their military budget yearly. After the collapse of the USSR, the USA had no real enemy left, and back then it was thought that China wouldn't become a global force for another 50 years, yet the USA continued to build more military hardware, and continued to gain more military bases throughout the world. With no real enemy left?, why would the USA do that? Because the USA has had a plan for many years now, that if they can gain full global military control, they can then introduce (force in), a single world currency, (what this is ALL about). And here's why... The USA has put all her eggs into one basket, as they've known for a long time, that the only thing that could prevent the USA from complete and total collapse?, is, if they can force in a single world currency, as the effect as, such, would see the USA, overnight, become completely debt free, (explains their enormous military overspending, and it explains their willingness to allow China to purchase so much US debt, with so many US government bonds - $1.2 trillion). And it would see the USA, achieve, full global military control, as well as, full global financial control, (a very nice achievement some might argue). In other words, for those people that don't know?. That effectively means “American Tyranny”, and that's no different from Nazi tyranny. How Ironic is that?. The US dollar Is the world's reserve currency, and it's currently used by many other countries to sell/purchase their oil/gas/energy etc, meaning that billions, if not trillions, of dollars, are kept by those countries for their energy purchasing. What that allowed the USA to do, is, to print billions of dollars in currency, without ever showing the true rate of inflation that would normally arise from such massive currency printing. They can only do that, because so much of the US currency sits in vaults all over the world, (to purchase those countries energy), that those dollars would never find their way into the actual US economy, (meaning the USA could hold their level of inflation well below the rate It really always should have been). Well, the inevitable huge problem we're now seeing?, is that all these countries like Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Europe, and many more around the world, are going to be selling and buying their energy in other currencies or gold, not the US dollar! That's going to see each of those countries having to dump/exchange all those dollars they've held for so many years, to replace them with the gold, or the currency, they're going to use. The obvious huge issue for the USA today, is?, when those billions, if not trillions, of dollars begin to filter back into the main US economy?, the inflation will explode, (as It can't be hidden any more). It's going to see hyperinflation, and the price of a loaf of bread, (for example), will skyrocket to well over $200, crippling the USA, collapsing the USA, as we've never seen before. Basically, it will see the USA in massive debt for hundreds of years to come, yet with no way of creating any more debt. It will all be over! And this is exactly why we're seeing this attempt to drag Russia, and also China, into a war. As I'll also explain... After the collapse of the USSR, the CIA was bribing Yeltsin all throughout the 1990s, while also helping to dismantle Russia's military, even gaining access into Russian nuclear silos. They helped to sell off many Russian resources, (in illegal corrupted auctions), carried out by the CIA, (with their “in pocket” Oligarchs), and it ended with the USA really believing Russia couldn't ever become a threat to them again. Only they were wrong. And now, today, (right when they need too) they can't force in a single world currency, with the likes of Russia and China's nuclear threat saying get lost. They nearly had it done with the collapse of the USSR. What a bonus that was?, it meant they could do it without war! But they messed that right up, because the USA took their eye off one man - Putin. The United States really believed they had finished Russia off after the collapse of the USSR, to the point that Russia couldn't ever become a threat to them again. They helped to keep Russia in a state of pandemonium through Yeltsin's reign, believing they had sealed Russia's fate to the toilet. When Putin came to power, the USA could not work him out, but when they invaded Iraq and Putin (craftily as it bought him the time he needed), did not veto them?, they believed they still had Russia under their control, and Putin was just a pushover like Yeltsin. (History will see Putin's tactic of not vetoing the Iraq invasion as world changing), as it really fooled the USA to not bother to look at Russia as any sort of potential threat, and that really damaged their plans. As, while the USA was invading countries all over the world, with their "war on terror" excuse. Putin had quietly begun creating Russia an extremely effective military defence, and upgraded all Russian weaponry to a level able to hold its own, If not beat, any other nation on the planet. The USA, blind to this, carried on as they used NATO to murder Gaddafi, carried on, as they kept Iraq destabilized, (by transferring well known terrorist commanders into Iraq from Guantánamo Bay, in the hundreds), to help keep it in chaos over the next decade. The USA then set their sights on Syria, and they were preparing for a ground invasion, (as with Iraq), when out of the blue, Putin vetoed that action, stunning the USA, it stopped them in their tracks, (and the USA then took a much closer look at Russia). When the USA had understood how they'd misread Putin, they then set out to demonise him across the world. But it still left the USA unable to use ground troops in Syria. This is when we saw the USA, and their CIA, start the troubles in Ukraine. Cont'd...

Blimey. Just before lockdown I spent a year around Clapham and Tooting, and I am familar with her route. I did walk it during the day with my bf to see what it was like. The road by Clapham Common, is long dark and creepy, even during the day, it was quite unpleasant, with lots of bushes. Poynders Road has bus stops and houses so he took a big risk, in a big city, even in lockdown, buses were about and key workers. I would say that it is quite an anonymous area. I didn't see any buses when I worked from Letchworth Road at the time. Even so, he has to be so arrogant and stupid as obviously there would be ANPR, CCTV, dashcams, doorbell cams etc. Just shows how mad with sex and violence he was that would just go mad, and even risk losing his family and kids. We are now not far from Brixton having moved nearby, was there a few days ago, but it is creepy you said it just was 10mins from you. We have just moved, so I haven't worked out my bearings yet. Yes ,it could have been you, he was out stalking for hours beforehand. Occasionally I was out late in Clapham but I did find Clapham a bit anonymous and creepy when I was there. Good to know there are TC fans from Brixton. Keep safe and buy some 140db personal alarms, predators hate noise, and some personal alarms have a strobe light that could blind them temporiily though I am not sure if that is UK legal though

Had they taken a different path home or had they decided to get something to eat, causing them to arrive a little later, they'd still be alive. It's disturbing to think about these things.

It was normal for police officers to approach you out and about and tell you 'please make sure to go home'. Once I heard about this, I was of course upset. The pure evil of a man to use a current living situation to his advantage. And I saw myself in her. Because if I am honest, I would have also gotten into a police car worried to be breaking a law.

Well covered Mike, I live in S London so this case hit home. It's a disgrace and the only reason the media was involved was because a serving police officer was the prime suspect. Sarah's murder has recently been followed by the murder of a young teacher in another area of S London. Sad times.

It was a wake up call for all of us. I remember talking to my mother after it came out what had happened; she’s a tough, resilient person and she’s not some angry feminist or man hater either, yet when she said the fear she feels walking alone at night even in areas she’s known all her life, I was quite shaken. My friends all felt the same having discussed this with women in their lives. It’s not right at all that people should fear just being on the street without someone to protect them.

OK guys.... listen carefully. The term chef's kiss is used to convey huge applause for something 👏 The police officer had his real belt and badge, and identification and as Mike explained, during the lock down it would have been very easy with his authority to convince someone who legitimately had been with a group (wasn't really meant to be doing that at the beginning of the year when this happened) to think they had grounds for an arrest. Nothing Sarah did made it her fault, that's all on the cop. He'd have been a predator in any walk of life, but him being in a position of authority made him arrogant and plied his narcissism to the maximum.

[@MissGumShoeMeg]

[@katief4633]

I used to live in that area and always felt completely safe. The scariest part would be the too tame foxes. I was living in Ireland at the time of her disappearance and felt sick. This case still makes me cry, it hit home like no other. I went on runs in Clapham Common, I walked home from my local on those roads. She put her trust in the police and it took her away. And then they handled it all horribly. I'm glad more police have been fired and charged since then, but there is clearly a huge problem with rape culture in the police force.

If advising women to avoid walking home alone late at night is victim blaming, what are the police supposed to advise when there’s a homicidal grapist on the loose? I don’t think telling all grapey men to mend their ways will stop the homicidal grapiist from stalking his next victim. The Police can’t provide an escort for every woman in the neighbourhood until the culprit is caught so all they can do is recommend we curb night time walks until grapey is apprehended

This one is hard to swallow I feel because it’s so raw and very fresh. The fact that a police officer abused his power in this manner is absolutely disgusting and horrendous. They obviously need a overhaul of their department, if he can be nicknamed “the rapist” and be given the authority he had it shows something is very wrong deep within the system. I’m hoping cases like this and of gabby petitos change the systems and save innocent lives before they are lost by monsters in sheep’s clothing.

[@annunakkk1]

Depends why he was nicknamed the rapist. He may have just looked creepy and rapey so people called him that behind his back. That doesn't indicate anything. That's not cause for an investigation and it surely is no reason to prevent someone from becoming a police officer. You have to judge people on their actions and behavior, not on a vibe you get when looking at them. I know it's a scary world but there's no perfect system that would completely eradicate evil.

There have been some horrific murders of women in London the last few years. The murder of the two sisters during lockdown after having a picnic in the park is one that particularly disgusts me. I lived in London for 15 years and moved back to Yorkshire at the beginning of lockdown and sadly it really reinforced my decision to do this as I just would not feel safe in London anymore. Sad really as I didn’t personally experience much crime while I was there (save for being SA on the tube which I’m pleased to say the police took very seriously)

@@crieverytim Yeah! As Mike stated in his pinned comment, this was the hardest episode he's ever done. It's so fresh and the guy was sentenced just days ago for what he did to her. Also to see a UK case of life WITHOUT parole is absolutely crazy. You could commit say 3 murders, get 3 life sentences charged concurrently and be out within 15-18yrs. Even for some crazy crimes people have only gotten life which in the UK is 25yrs yet you end up doing sometimes as little as a half of your actual sentence. I'm sure there are others but the only other person I can think of with life without parole is actually someone I used to live with in a house share called Joanne Dennehey. She ended up killing our landlord (who was an utter scum bag) and then getting 2 other people I know involved to help her, one driving her around the country as she wanted to kill others and actually managed it. I have some insane stories about living with her. Was also a crack dealer and a guy straight out of prison living in the house share. Plus the landlord owned the house next door also full of 'colourful' characters. I experienced 2 armed raids by police with them making the crack dealer walk out the house backwards with his hands in the air while he was only wearing his boxer shorts. Was absolutely insane period of my life.
