The Disappearance of Helen Bailey

Helen Bailey was a successful British author, who went missing in 2016. Helen Bailey disappeared while out on a walk with her dog, and when her partner, Ian Stewart called the police four days later, the search was on. From the start the police were suspicious of Ian Stewart, until a neighbour reveals something awful hidden beneath the house.

@John Barber Shame on you for judging a person on a KZbin comment. And quite wrongly I might ad.. Being wealthy was part of what made her attractive. You might not like that.

John Barber um.. I’m sorry what?

[@chelssss]

@John Barber I think he meant that she had a lot going for her. She obviously worked really hard throughout her career and earned her wealth. So, it's not necessarily her wealth, but her hardworking, driven nature that's what makes her a desirable person.

[@Liliquan]

@@chelssss She had a lot going for her indeed. But I guess intelligence, skill, creativity, caring etc. weren't worth the mention. Only her looks and money were worth mentioning. I guess she's lucky though, because most females only get the pleasure of having their looks appraised by men online.

[@chelssss]

@@Liliquan the same could be said for men, only they are judged solely by their wealth. Regardless, we don't get to know her personality through this video. The only facts we can take from the video are: 1-she was wealthy and 2-she was physically attractive. To comment on her personality you'd have to make assumptions based on wealth and appearance, because that's all we actually know about this woman. OP couldn't possibly comment on her personality. IMO, making assumptions about one's personality based on wealth and appearance perpetuates an unhealthy way of thinking. Just as you believe it's unfair that women only get praise for their appearance, and I believe men only get praise for their money. It is extremely unfair (and sometimes even dangerous) to make assumptions about someone based on their attractiveness and social status.

I mean, if you’re just looking for someone to murder, you can do it a lot less conspicuously than getting in a long-term relationship with them first. So I find it more likely he was legitimately trying to find love, but inside he was demented and it eventually turned to violence. Either way, agreed he is absolutely an evil person.

He is truly revolting...but it's how psychopaths work, unfortunately. they might not be 'physically' gorgeous, but from the sounds of it she was infatuatd with him and couldn't see him for what he really was. When psychopaths want something from you, (in her case her money) they can absolutely convince you that they are charming, loving, kind, generous, and affectionate. they play the long game for just long enough until they don't need you anymore. Then you will be brutally and callously discarded- either emotionally or literally! I think our perceptions of him vs her perception of him speak volumes to how these APD malignant's methods work.

@@riotgrrrl5924 That's awful to hear. When you're young it's easy to feel like nothing bad will happen...until it does. I'm a fairly strong swimmer, or at least I was then, but it doesn't matter if you're Michael Phelps, when that current grabs you it's not going to get tired no matter how long it fights to pull you away. Drowning is not peaceful. It was just a few seconds after I made the decision to get in the water that I realized I made a mistake. It took just a few minutes to exhaust me completely and I was extremely lucky to make it out of the water. Read this to them if you think it may help communicate the dangers of powerful currents. I've had friends in great shape drown in calmer waters than what I survived. Once you're in that water, it's up to nature to be forgiving, and that's not a common occurrence. Please be safe, little one. You've got a long life ahead of you filled with so many great experiences. Don't let a trip to go swimming be the last thing you do.
