Unrequited Love Leads to Family Murder | Jason Alexander Downie Case Analysis

Tragic. I live in Australia and I was sick of hearing my rear neighbor bash his wife so I jumped the fence and banged on their door and called the police who sorted them out. They've never fought like that since and I'm glad I did it, never done anything like that before. If you hear something do something. Peace Dr Grande!

My husband intervened when an elderly man was abusing and hitting his wife outside a workmans club,as soon as he did the elderly couple both attacked him! I mean they were old but man were they angry! The old man got a right hook in before hubby could get away. He was frightened he’d hurt them just by trying to stop them,so he said guys guys you’re gonna get hurt trying to hurt me,then the vitriol came flying out both theirs mouths,he explained he had never heard elderly people talk like that! I said this is Australia mate! He got a slight black eye for his trouble,but being Aussie myself ( hubby is not ) i could not stop laughing at the fact my huge muscular hubby got a black eye from a geriatric! 😂.

[@AScrapOfKindness]

As a 10-year-old, I was beaten by a high-school boy on the NYC streets. It was early morning, and I was headed to school with my 8-year-old sister in tow. The beating took place at the entrance to the subway, with many adults around. Most continued on their business, the others stopped to watch, but did nothing to help. Guess they were taught not to get involved and, more than likely, have passed that mentality down to their offspring. I was fortunate to not be injured any more than I was and managed to find my way back home. I reported the incident to the school, they tracked him down and said they would take care of it. I doubt anything was done. If anyone sees an injustice, please make a call or a move -- no matter how small.

[@keekeejenkins6162]

​@@scottandrews947I remember crimes from the 80s/90s in NYC committed in plain sight. Bystanders did nothing but put blinders on. Some of these were murders. The bystanders made for horrible witnesses too. "I saw nothing" or claimed it was a black guy when it was obviously a white guy, stuff like that. Having also lived there, I believe this commenter. Not fake. Easy to find this commonplace apathy, netflix documentary series Innocence Files I think showcased a few of these types of cases.

Would you have considered him to be a very difficult person?

[@ITSFISHY]

@@btetschner uh I didn't know him super well, but from what I could see he wasn't outwardly difficult/obsessive/controlling.

@@northernnightmare7986 That does not correlate with my sentiment. Police aren’t necessarily good men either. This is why bad actors have used “swatting” so effectively. Imagine calling the police on a neighbor who is in a heated argument with his misbehaving teenage son that is buying pills from a high school classmate, the police barge in and find the pills with the homeowner also owning firearms and turning an innocent man into an instant felon. Sometimes minding your own business is also the right call.

[@andreasrau2161]

Good morning, Dr. Grande! this was a rather strange case. I would like to know exactly what Jason and his mother argued about that night and how that would have set him off to consummate his "relationship" with Chantel, especially when she was presumably ill. Furthermore, the intensity of his violence to her and her parents illustrates, as you have suggested, that Jason's frustrations had been building up within him for a long time and only now exploded. I am not sure about how the necrophilia plays into all of this, as well as his continued stabbings of Chantel and her parents after they were clearly dead because of his initial attacks on them. Trying to clean up the scene after he was done, as well as having his unsubstantiated alibi and various excuses for the cuts on his hands suggests that he was not in some sort of mental funk and that he simply couldn't decide upon a story and keep to it. But that seems to be common enough among criminals, especially if they are amateurs. But what I find most interesting is that people sought to judge him by his letters of apology. I had no idea that so many people are qualified handwriting analysts! But then, I think that handwriting analysis is another branch of pseudoscience, and that Jason simply wasn't overly "book smart" and learned to write up to better educated levels.

Then I asked what if she got killed? He said, none of my buisness. You're right some people just DON'T want anything to do with police, and courts. He was old skool.

By the way, it's pronounced Ka-pun-da... like a bad pun. Locals believe that Jason did not work alone. They suggest he is covering for his brother - but this is hearsay. The neighbour was on the News saying that he heard it but didn't want to get involved in a domestic violence situation. Ugh!!!! Friends close to the family are still struggling with the loss. Jason's mother is devastated and no longer contacts him - understandingly

In case you are interested, Kapunda is pronounced 'Cup Under' rather than 'Cup oonda' Love your work Dr Grande, gday from Australia 🦘

[@melodyann44]

Dr Grande ~ I'm a lady from Oregon - I would love to see you cover the Ward Weaver murders. He killed 2 innocent young girl's. His narcissistic character caused law enforcement confusion. Check into it~ I would love to hear your opinions on Ward Weaver.

[@princeanalytical7542]

Dr Grande, please cover the Atatiana Jefferson case

[@bense7enreilly]

there needs to be a comic book universe consisting of characters dr. grande created from the circumstances of these cases, i'd love a crossover between the loopy letter ripper & the assassin bears

[@kayem9909]

Dr. Grande please do the Casey Anthony Peacock Documentary. Thank you!!

Jason Downie is going to Scotland in his 50s wow that is great news for Scotland! i'm being sarcastic...

[@cadavreambulant3626]

I liked very much your analysis of the letter.

[@MustacheCashStash125]

Please make a video about Peter Scully

His upbringing enabled him to do this horrific crime. I hope his parents have been stigmatized for raising someone who has no value for life other than his own. Society is also at fault for allowing courts to diminish the value of victims’ lives by handing out such lenient sentences. The damages of losing such good people are incalculable to a functioning society. His letter was most likely at the behest of his parents, who realize they contributed to this terrible tragedy, as well.

I think you should paint your wall, having the white wall makes the background a bit drab

I’m OCD-ing over those cacti’s placement, I’d love to just switch the lamp with the one on the far right; now I have to rewatch the video 🙃

I’ve suggested a calm, primary colored abstract painting. Perhaps go easy on the red…it’s pretty hard to install a brick wall:)

[@deanhopkins4729]

No way , I think the color is perfect. It looks clean and shows up the colored lights .

Dr G I would love to hear your take on the disappearance of Paddy Moriarty in Larrimah, Australia. There is a theory he was baked into a pie.

Wow. We lived in small-town NZ for 8.5 years. 5000 people. We were kind, loving, giving and generous. I accidentally hurt one person while there and apologised to the best of my ability, and took responsibility for my stupidity, but that was just before we left, when we were extremely stressed and traumatised. People who'd lived there forever had no issue being vicious and not allowing us to fit in, literally trying to split our happy marriage and also hating each other behind each other's backs, while smiling at each other. We had to save our dog by rehoming him because, we found out later why his behaviour went funny - two local lads would come onto our section (during school time) when I went out and beat him. They were caught one day and told to vamoose, but we were never told until it was too late. We loved our dog so much. It was all so confusing. Like a group-think situation. We moved to a small city and the relief of finding genuine people has been palpable for us. The fact that Australian town worked at accepting him is so admirable. I'm so sorry for what happened to these people. So very sorry.

[@bunnymad5049]

@@strwbrywoman You obviously need a dictionary - like the people in the small town who got mad at me for using "big words" - that were three syllables long. I said what I meant. I'm sorry if that goes over your head. 😊

Too bad he’s not in prison for life, horrific! I love how he said jn his apology letter how he regrets it and proceeds to go in about how he lost his car and his job, infuriating 😡 The loopy letter ending comment made me chuckle as I was about to fall asleep:)

Great video Dr G, and the neighbor definitely won't win the award 😂

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

The Kitty Genovese case in New York in the sixties was/has always been the "poster child" case for people NOT calling, and it was the "go-to" example for DECADES. BUT (AND IT A BIG BUT) there's a "flip side" to MOST of these cases. Abuse relationships usually have a long history (perhaps not in this particular case) so all these comments about "call the cops" often begs the question: after dealing/tolerating/enduring the impenerable stupidity of most CO-DEPENDANT relationships, why blame the neighbours for not calling in?? They're put up with it for years.

[@tallblonde1976]

Its scary that a "normal" person can commit a horrible triple murder.

Interesting. Thank you.
