The Starcourt Killer - Murder At The Mall : Episode 2 (Gwinnett Place, Dead Malls, True Crime)

[@courtnee3]

I had several classes with her freshman year at GSU she was the sweetest smartest girl i've ever met. She was always smiling I am heartbroken and I hope she is resting in peace.

[@DeadMallWalking]

Oh damn, that's so sad! Yes, I'm right there with you - hope she's in a better place.

[@matanoon0143]

Like actually you was with her? 😭

[@BRIA16LUVNOTE16]

The guy that murdered her had plenty of complaints and cries out from his exs in high school saying he was abusive. Nobody could prove it so nothing happened to him. I wish Silling was still here today, she was one of the brightest souls I’ve ever met.

[@DeadMallWalking]

An extremely sad story. Although from what I understand, he was imprisoned for Silling's murder? At least from what I could tell...

[@moonchild1772]

Happens way too often, that abusive people get away with it, and continue to abuse others.

[@RosemarieFit]

This was my mall. I worked at Gap, Forever 21, Kay Jewelers, and the Circuit City Express. So many memories here. Makes me sad.

[@DeadMallWalking]

Oh damn! Very sad indeed. If you have any good stories from those days, please feel free share them with me.

[@Jason_lxvs]

Did they have scoops ahoy

[@robinb8907]

@@Jason_lxvs no, it’s a fake store.

[@imogend]

what a chilling story, that mall definitely has some creepy vibes about it

[@RAPIDNISMO]

Thats just weird, gives me the creeps, how the hell a murder happens and a body dumped in an old shop

[@DeadMallWalking]

Well, the mall was already virtually empty back when the murder committed. Personally I think it probably did happen in the mall but, because there’s no security footage, there’s no evidence of how it all went down other than Davis’s confession.

[@RAPIDNISMO]

@@DeadMallWalking knocked it on the head, litterally, it'd be virtually impossible to get seen, especially in the dead side of the mall, just things like this that just makes you shiver, I really wouldn't want to be the one who found the body, thank god that killer was locked up for it

[@xienfur4346]

As someone who used to walk there when it was empty it was practically dead on certain parts of the mall especially the food court. Sadly I’m pretty sure they closed off the rest of the mall since I visited the macy’s last week and everything was sealed shut

[@xienfur4346]

And I have some vivid memories of this mall one of the escalator’s lead to a 2 story shop which was a forever 21 if I’m correct also at 1:05 that shop was an aerocombie and fitch

[@TheBlackLotus]

When I was a preteen this mall was the place to be. All the kids in my school got their clothes and shoes from there and it would be packed. Got to explore the mall right around when this tragedy happened when it was nothing but a shell of a building. It was so creeeeepy. RIP to the victim

[@DeadMallWalking]

Yup, I visited when it was almost empty (even though they must have still been filming around that time) and it gave off MAJORLY creepy vibes. Was fun seeing it in The Holidate when I watched it a couple of Christmases ago, haha.

[@y0shik0ry]

This is the mall I used to shop at back in the day. Grew up around these parts

[@DeadMallWalking]

Oh that's cool! I imagine there was much more shopping to do in there back then. It was pretty dead when I visited, with very few shops open.

[@y0shik0ry]

@@DeadMallWalking yea it was the shit for a long while. Then the mall of Georgia and discovery mills and even stonecrest mall was built and the Gwinnett mall jus died out. Used to party and a huge club right next to it. Called wild bills. Now it’s the “Gwinnett coliseum”

[@David_7557]

@@y0shik0ry yeah it was Discovered 5 Months before I wounded if the actors ever had Paranormal experiences with Her spirit or something

[@ithinkyouwhatyouthink]

I was at the mall few days before the body was discovered, I remember because I was going to sears with my mom and it was before winter break or after we got out but when I was in walking around while my mom was at sears the food court area had a smell it was so dark It was tempting to walk in the food court but I got scary vibes so I didn’t bother

[@DeadMallWalking]

Damn, that's eerie - almost like you knew there was something wrong in there!

[@ithinkyouwhatyouthink]

@@DeadMallWalking Exactly, I didn’t even know the body was discovered till like 2019 I was looking up Gwinnett place mall videos cause of how dead it was the last time we went there and we haven’t been there since summer 2019 and I remembered the time that we went to sears (before it was closed) and I walked around cause I was bored and I saw the food court and it had a smell so i also could of witnessed a dead body but I didn’t want to go over the counters because there was cameras so I was scared I would get kicked out so I didn’t bother walking in cause it was closed and I didn’t want cameras at me walking in

[@GWhiz-wn5zw]

I was there by myself just days before and I remember walking to the food court and making a pass around. I remember seeing that very white trashcan in these videos. It was the only light in the food court. Everything else was dark. It was super creepy. I was freaked out when I saw the story on the news they had reported her missing, but had not found her body.

[@Not_Mushrooms]

@@GWhiz-wn5zwvery creepy I’m glad ur safe

[@jamiebhoy8]

I just discovered this and wow, he was basically a couple of meters away from a rotting body, that’s crazy

[@nole8923]

I would love to go back and see this once beautiful mall back in the 1980s.

[@ethanoliver7895]

I was in this mall many times as a kid i remember it was 2015

[@Marbann218]

Same

[@anamouthaan5103]

Growing up I remember this was the mall everyone went to, then as you stated Mall of GA and Sugar Loaf Mills Mall came along and unfortunately hurt this Mall. I wanted to add that I remember one time my family and I were going to spend some family time together and guess what? We went to the Mall of GA instead. I went to this mall today, obviously I was only able to see this mall from the outside, there was no security or anyone to ask to see if I could get a sneak peak and go inside. I sure do miss this mall and it's sad to see what has become of this mall.

[@MrJestyler]

Was a great mall in its heyday. Packed with shoppers almost everyday. Mall of GA, about 10 miles up interstate, opened in 1999 was the beginning of the end of Gwinnett place. Mall of GA is and was a Bigger mall with higher end stores. The demographics around gwinnett place changed dramatically beginning in late 90’s until current. Gwinnett place couldn’t keep up with change and increasing crime around mall kept people away. At one time during late 80’s there was 3 movie theatres around mall with 12 screens in each. Grew up in area before any of it was as there. 🥲

[@dq636]

that mall never gave me the creeps. I remember being in it when I first moved there in 2007. It was packed and they used to have a nice spencers, hot topic and pac sun/ I ate at that subway a few times too. Fry was across the street. Shame about the murder. I wonder if I ever saw her?

[@DeadMallWalking]

Sounds like you were visiting it closer to its prime! (If it ever had a prime…) The mall appears on the movie The Holidate absolutely packed with extras and it isn’t creepy at all - I only got weird vibes because it was so empty when I was there! Another commenter actually knew her, such a sobering and sad story.

[@Jishwa0_0]

Someone recently explored the abandoned mall and posted it on tt. In the section closed off, in one of the rooms there was crime scene tape and dried up blood on the floor 😰

[@megaratosgamer8387]

Yeah i see it too

[@axlh.1827]

I came here exactly from that video!!

[@sunootaerae]

What's the @ of the tiktok user?

[@abrahamhernandez4070]

Me and my bros went to the mall about a week or two after the murder and we snuck into the subway and there was a weird sticky substance on the table we knew someone got killed there but it was scary when we found out later that the body was found In the subway. Very creepy it was so empty.

[@DeadMallWalking]

Damn! That is wild…

[@JonathanWilder-cg2lx]

"Me and my bros went to the mall about a week or two after the murder" How would you know when the murder happened? 🤔

[@jermalshemism3367]

Glad I found this channel gonna watch all your content, love eerie things like this perfect for the halloween season

[@ashkaash9819]

I was middle school classmates with the killer. He was a shy quiet dude. Never would have expected….

[@DeadMallWalking]

Wow, that's wild. Sure seems like things changed since back then...

[@xentaza]

I know Emmitt Davis in Richard’s middle school and central Gwinnett 9th grade now idk him anymore after I heard about this when this story first came out on FB FEED…

[@reinaldoburgos5235]

Thats crazy i used go to that mall years ago. I grew up in Gwinnett county

[@DeadMallWalking]

Damn, I'd have loved to have seen this place back in its prime. The REAL Starcourt!

[@monicakievit6929]

I got a creepy feeling the last time I was there.

[@oscar__1992]

i remember hanging out at that mall with my brother when we were kids

[@undergroundretail]

Awesome Video! Great Job! 🔥

I used to go to that mall when i was little

i visit gp mall almost every month because there is a korean mega mart that i have to go grocery shopping

Gwinnett place mall used to be so vibrant then moonbeam came and snatched it up

[@jtgentlemenoutlaw1909]

I live in Toronto OH, roughly 10 - 15 minutes from the Fort Steuben Mall in Steubenville, I give it not even a year until it becomes another Dead Mall.

[@SelahSeaver]

This is the starcourt mall where stranger rhings was filmed, this was closed down after a university student was murdered there. The mall was already going out if business and i guess the state didn't pay for cleanup

[@monkeh958]

It makes me remember about fear street part 1 where Maya Hawk got killed by the ghostface wannabe

[@DeadMallWalking]

Yup, similar vibe for sure. I actually thought that movie was decent, but I can't say I've watched the next two instalments in the trilogy...

[@moonchild1772]

​@@DeadMallWalkingThey're good. You should. Sadie Sink is in two of them.

[@kunnida]

This really got close to home. We used to frequent the mall in the 90s when it was still very popular. The mall didn't completely close at that time bc they still had stores such as MegaMart, Macy's, B&BW, VS, Gap, etc. When Silling's drawing first circulated on the news, we were all shocked as we had just gone to the Mall a few weeks before. The food court was definitely vacant, but i was surprised that you can still walk throughout the empty mall. When her identity was released, we were all so sad for her and her family, especially in our Khmer community. I remember volunteering at the temple one morning and her family were doing a 100th Day ceremony there. It was kept very private and quiet in there. I went to go pay my respects afterwards. I'm still wondering why an Uber would take ppl to the Mall 4 am in the morning. It's true that the police released a lot of info that didn't make sense. I was also surprised to see the setup of Stranger Things filming there everytime I drove by. The mall has been bought many times and also say they have plans for it, but then, plans were shut down. So now, all the other stores are closed besides MegaMart and perhaps Macy's. They turned the Sears wing into a Covid vaccination center during the start of the pandemic. Just to respect Silling's memory, I think the mall should be demolished and turn into a garden type of park.

[@ftfdreamz850]

Where is the link for the video of the walkthrough the day before the body was found?

[@DeadMallWalking]

Down in the description! It was a Facebook live stream, if I remember correctly.

Lived 15 minutes away but already had a bad reputation when I was growing up

[@lilbeng5690]

This was the shit in 2005

[@kamspus100]

If we ask permission to explore this mall, it might be a good idea.

[@DeadMallWalking]

I haven't tried, not least because I'm thousands of miles away(!), but I think it's *very* unlikely that the owners would grant permission to explore this place.

[@megaratosgamer8387]

In this mall is the rest of the victims blood in a room...

[@DeadMallWalking]

I’m sure the Subway where it went down has looong since been cleaned up before filming began.

[@artqueen227]

Damn

[@Jon-fm2ne]

I'm late to the party but I was exploring that mall a long time ago when it was dying I love going there as a kid in the 90s I went to the subway to generally try to get something to eat thinking that it was open I smelled a weird smell over there also and I kind of picked my head in and was like this is weird I said hello nothing happened so I walked back to the MegaMart by the time I was halfway to the MegaMart dude with the cornrows was like following me with two other guys he was stomping around there like he was Darth Vader the scariest tiny man I've ever seen I thought he was about to confront me but he didn't say nothing just kept walking fast then later on I see on the news what went down and I thought well I'm glad him and his henchmen didn't take me out and put me in the cooler also

[@wrench4203]

I wonder why the hell he killed her poor girl

[@MissMarshall]

If you’ve ever lost a pet, you’d know a body will undoubtedly begin to stink after only one hour. We are all animals.

bro rip sister bru like I only saw her once bro this so so unbelievable though so happy that dude got life sentence

Is that Omega Mart?

[@DeadMallWalking]

Nope, just Mega Mart! Which was a Korean supermarket located in the mall.

[@David_7557]

Isnt That mall a filming set for stranger things i think that show might be bringing bad luck with it

[@DeadMallWalking]

That's correct, David! Although this was before the show, so maybe it's the show that's been cursed by the mall rather than the other way around.

[@David_7557]

​@@DeadMallWalkingI'm sure they Filmed in 2018 Tho Because Millies Hair was Kinda Short Still What if they were in a Mall with the dead body in it Creepy
