The Deadly Passion of James Fairweather

In the town of Colchester, UK, a man walking home met a horrific end. Horrific for this small, safe, English town. Then, three months later it happened again, and no evidence or clues were left behind. Almost a year later, a dog walker would spot a creepy boy hiding in the bushes - James Fairweather.

Next time I report a Crime, or want to report something suspicious... I'm gonna surf the web looking for any possible rewards first... and well.... you know... if there aren't any on offer.... I might just hold back a little bit. When they finally do offer a reward... I'm not going to jump at it... let me wait a year or two... they may just increase the amount... then maybe I'll surf the net again... and just see if there are any other offers (like any 2 for one specials, or something)... hell, I'm not gonna rush in and fall for this nasty business of reporting a crime to the wrong authorities... (clearly there are there more than one "authorities"). Hard luck lady.... I feel your pain.

One of the things that irritates me the most is when people defend killers saying "oh they were bullied". They tried that with the Columbine kids, no in reality THEY were bullies. The Parkland shooter, HE was a bully. I got bullied tremendously all through my K-12 years, you know what it did to me? It didn't make me a killer, it made have MORE compassion for people, not less.

[@swongsonvanee]

If he didn’t like being bullied he’s gonna really hate prison…

[@hansmahr8627]

People are not defending killers, they're trying to explain why they became killers. An explanation is not an excuse. And understanding why these things happen is important to try and prevent these developments before shit hits the fan. People aren't born as killers, they become killers because of a multitude of different factors interacting with their given personalities. You're right that not everyone who's bullied becomes a killer. But that doesn't mean much because everyone is different. Everyone's circumstances are different. Some people are more resilient, others are less resilient. You don't need to look at serial killers to see that: some people get over mental issues and survive while others kill themselves. And while people like to generalize, in reality, every case of bullying and every case of childhood trauma is unique in some way. Personality-wise you have some major factors like a lack of empathy and a lack of impulse control. These can be caused by early childhood trauma but they can also occur naturally as a result of issues in the frontal cortex of the brain. There are famous cases of people becoming cold-hearted assholes after accidents destroying part of that region of the brain. All in all these are highly complex issues that can't be waved away by saying 'I was bullied and I'm not a killer so it can't be because of the bullying'. Life is rarely that simple.

It's so skeevy that crime stoppers have that little loophole; especially considering that that woman was so close to most likely being attacked. They KNOW that almost everyone's first thought is to call the emergency police line, and not Google the crime stoppers number. I guess crime stoppers is only good for strong leads that catch a killer, but i'm sure there are more loopholes they've figured out

I wouldn’t call it a loophole. If the effect is that the public is vigilant and aware, they are helping reduce police workload by dealing with (real and prank) calls about sightings while a killer is on the loose… they have done their job. Crimetoppers at its peak was watched weekly by every household in the country, and offering that payout was what brought a lot of small criminals to justice.

[@bwj4893]

I have watched several other true crime channels, but none come close to Mike and how he tells the stories. I believe I have watched every episode of That Chapter, but only a few of the other ones. Most are kind of monotone, or they use gimmicks like putting on make-up while relaying the information. The worst are the ones where it takes them an hour or more to tell the story, and they're mostly reading the script with little or no video or other supporting pics. Mike, you're the King of True Crime on KZbin--you rule!

[@AnyoneCanSee]

I thought this bordered on disrespect. It's one thing to mock the criminals for getting caught and whining about themselves etc and entirely another to make light of two brutal murders in which a woman had her eyes cut out while she was alive. Do you think you'd find him standing there with a knife for laughs funny if that was your child? I hope he rethinks that sort of thing as these crimes are not a joke.

I am not trying to say that one victim is more important than another but the lack of comments grieving her death is genuinely disturbing.

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

I imagine not a lot was said publicly because it is against their religious rules for a woman to walk in public without a man. I’m sure his parents really laid into him for this not only for the sin by also for not protecting her. Also, women aren’t allowed to take pictures of themselves because it’s vain. Chances are there aren’t any pictures of her since she was five years old. That’s why the news doesn’t have any pictures because there aren’t any. I can’t imagine how on earth she could find vanity when she’s dead.

@Night Haze I think it might be because there wasn't much information on her case. It might be due to the family not wanting alot released but that's just speculation on my part but I agree with you, she came to this country to better her life and probably thought of it as a safe place and sadly only got to enjoy it for 6 short months and it ended in such a tragic way. He should have had to endure what they went through for his punishment because jails are not punishment or a deterrent in fact alot live better inside jail than out and I'm speaking from experience, it was basically a 6 month holiday I got. Alot of these creeps are living it up while their victims family's suffer, too much emphasis is on the criminals rights and not victims, criminals should loose most rights when sentenced like TV's, game consoles etc they lost those rights when they couldn't live civilly in the community, it's disgusting in my opinion.

That's actually a grave misunderstanding of human psychology. People who commit murders like this didn't end up that way overnight.

I always feel bad for the victims in these, but the first guy, Jim/James, really got me, due to the fact my mother also got brain damage from a car accident when she was in college. A portion of her occipital lobe just died off, with no chance of recovery, so she saw double when she woke up and had to learn to write with her left hand, among other things. And she wasn't even the worst effected. She's learnt to deal with it, of course, but I just wanted to tell everyone to take driving seriously, don't do it if you're drunk or sleepy, and try to always keep your eyes on the road! Also always carry something to defend yourself wherever you're going to, if you're going alone. Be safe.

Don't 'carry' anything to defend yourself because if you're stopped you'll be charged for possession of an offensive weapon.
