Murdered By A Monster: The Case Of Stephanie Scott

April 11th, 2015, was supposed to be Stephanie Scott's wedding day.
She could not be more excited, having planned every little detail. The final thing to sort out, was the handover for the teacher that would be taking over her classes while she was on her honeymoon.
But when she didn't come home from school that day, panic quickly set in...

When I was 15, I was walking home late from school with the headphones on. My route was up a small hill behind a grocery store..it's an empty area. A woman came up next to me in her car with a baby in the seat next to her. She asked me if I knew the man in the car behind me. Dirty blue van, guy with scraggly long blonde hair. I hadn't even heard him. She said he'd been following me since I left the school. He peeled out of there. She probably saved my life that day. 🙏

@@strayamate2960 I can’t believe that you’re mentioning this case- It was only this week that I found myself thinking about Laura & Colleen, I was trying to remember their names. I don’t know why they popped into my mind. I was 15 years old & doing a forensic science class in school when they were murdered. I’ll never forget my teacher sitting u down in the aftermath, especially us girls. He told us to scratch, bite, tear their eyes out, do whatever it takes. Make as much noise as possible, and if all else fails- to spit. He said _it won’t save you, but that last act may offer enough evidence that may see your family one day get answers & justice_ and I’ve never forgotten that

[@Terensworth]

He choked his teacher when he was 12, and was in a psychiatric institute for a bit of his life. Why. In the name of all that is holy, was he even allowed to work on anything, let alone a school, besides cleaning an isolated outhouse with no contact with the outside world?! I guess, with the logic behind this. If it wasn't Stephanie, it would've been someone else, probably a child. What a complete abomination of a living creature, let alone a human being.

“Predatory stalking behavior” needs to become a criminal offense that carries serious time in jail. So often police say they can’t do anything until an actual crime has been committed. Well, by then it’s too late. Why can’t we make their initial “ramp up” behaviors criminal and save lives?

[@Tsumami__]

Probably because there are too many people who try to claim they’re victims of stalking but who have never been stalked before and have no idea what it actually entails. Then when a woman is actually being stalked by a man that intends to rape or kill her, it is largely ignored

[@villasoka884]

His brother would have known, bad genetics may play a part too.

[@eadweard.]

It already is a criminal offence.

[@gingerbee98]

It already is in Australia (Section 13, Crimes (Domestic & Personal Violence) Act 2007. The burden of proof for a conviction is on the police & without any proof or evidence to take to court, there isn't much they can do. However, in today's world of digital records, phone cameras, CCTV, etc, it 'should' be easier than in days gone by. Keeping meticulous records of stalking events is a surefire way into court but it is no less a terrifying & unsafe path to travel for the stalked person.

This is why female teachers and children should always be in pairs and get checked on by security at all times no matter where they work before and after work. It would bloody help. 99% of criminals ( My opinion and a pretty good one I reckon after seeing so many of these), are always operating in the shadows and never want to be recognised let alone overpowered nor attention drawn to them. It’s a great defence to not be alone especially if you’re a woman.

He was just smirking that whole interview. What a monster 😬 prayers go out to the family ❤

[@stephz0r93]

This made me cry. How he was even able to get a job at the school, is beyond me. Should be doing background checks. Poor Stephanie, instead of marrying the love of her life she met the monster that took her life instead. How evil, vile and pathetic that he would take a precious life n then use mental health as a reason. I believe people should be put down, he should have at a young age. How he calmly spoke bout her murder, like it was just another day. Life sentence is too easy, he deserves a lot more than that. Hope he gets real justice in prison. Very sad to hear Stephanie’s father passed away a year later, my gosh how much pain does the family need to endure. Rest In Peace Stephanie n her father 🕊️🕊️

[@linamarie84]

Because. Not everyone who commits these types of crimes has a history of them.

[@katmanluke7187]

Totally agree. All the softies sympathetic for this evil degenerate & his mental defects or find the death penalty too much for your sensitive tummy please step aside. This monster deserved a swift execution, not to be incessantly interviewed, studied, & locked in a cage for life at the citizen's expense. Wth became of eye for an eye? He knew what he was doing was evil & wrong, & knew she was about to marry the love of her life. In fact I think that was a point of contention for this underage girls stalking loser unable to even strike up conversation with a girl. I'd have gone so far as to let her devastated fiance carry out the sentence, giving him a metal pipe to do so. Look at it as less time this poor, evil psycho gets to suffer. Unlike poor Stephanie. Can you imagine anyone being more angry, devastated, & heartbroken all at once than her fiance? I'm so happy for him that he eventually found love with another pretty girl. Though I'm sure there are moments he remembers Stephanie, at least he now has someone to temper that. The uncivilized, vile crimes monsters commit more & more, & yet so many societies today are leaning away from harsher, more just punishments as being "uncivilized". Criminal deterrence thru punishment has largely evaporated, & yet they wonder why these violent crimes continue going up? I just don't get it. And as for this degenerate's twin brother getting just 15 mths in jail for being a key accessory to the murder of this innocent woman & covering it up, clearly the AU criminal justice system is part of the problem! He should've gotten at least 15 yrs no parole for his involvement!

[@katmanluke7187]

@@linamarie84 lacking a history of these type crimes is pretty irrelevant after committing this one now isn't it? Classic example of the warning signs were there & went ignored. Simple as that. Poor Stephanie became a victim & lost her life thanks to that failure. Not to mention AU has also stripped away a person's right(particularly concerning denying vulnerable pop. incl/women) to carry a concealed firearm to protect their life. If she'd only had one odds are he would've been dead before realizing she did. And she'd be alive today, probably with her own family. So tragic. In countries where you still have this right, I sure wish more women would stop assuming the cops will come to their rescue in time & assume responsibility for their own safety in the dangerous world we live in today! So many tragic & preventable stories out there...

@@liliesrnice not victim blaming at all. I just wish things had gone differently for what by all accounts was such a nice girl deserving of a bright future. There's a difference. And in case you misread what I meant by all the warning signs were there, I'm talking about her killer. Not Stephanie. She had no way of knowing her killer was a quack. She had every right to of all places a school to feel feel & BE safe. Clearly she wasn't. That's the dangerous world we live in today. There's no blaming, just that women in particular need to learn from these tragedies. Not to be paranoid, but be ready if caught in one of these dangerous situations all alone.

Idont think the father said anything wrong... he seemed to be too disgusted to want to know the why behind his sons crimes. For him its a loss and tragedy too, and hes distanced himself from his own son. It seems appropriate to me

[@Sarah-sj6lj]

some people just smile when they talk, even when talking about sad things, and I think that is the case with the brother. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between actually smiling and it just being how someone's face rests.

[@caroldavis7169]

I remember this story when it happened, the newspapers titled her a runaway bride and the police were slow on the uptake of this case, the poor family were looking for her and no one was taking them seriously, they were looking at paying for helicopter to help in the search for Stephanie. This was such a heartbreaking case, I’ll never forget it.

[@bb1kari]

can you explain more on how the police initially neglected the case? im doing a case analysis on this ^^ :)

[@caroldavis7169]

I remember that the Courier Mail which is a Queensland newspaper labeled her as a runaway bride and I think they apologised when they found out the Stephanie was murdered. As for the police, I remember that her family and friends were frustrated at the lack of concern that they seemed to show. I think they all thought she got cold feet and took off, however the family knew that was never the case. Everyone was shocked what happened to Stephanie. Her father was killed 18 months later by a logging accident on their property. The whole story is shockingly tragic…

[@DizzKola3]

This is the type of killer that terrifies me the most. He talks so calmly and nonchalant and has no real reason for killing this poor girl. It’s so scary to think these people exist, walking amongst us as “normal” people. My heart goes out to her family. Absolutely devastating.

If the school kids were calling this caretaker a psycho, then why were the school administrators and teachers not paying heed ?
