As a lifelong Seattle area resident myself, I also remember reading about this case online, but moreso I remember being HORRIFIED that some women were saying in the comment section of the Seattle Times that they didn't believe the killer to be guilty, because as they put it, he was "too good looking" and "wouldn't need" to catfish anyone. I simply cannot fathom how some people can think that one's level of attractiveness is somehow a reflection of their capacity for evil!
Well, considering he was homeless, he now has secure housing, three meals a day, free medical care, access to TV/internet, books, etc. I’d say his situation has vastly improved. 🫤
if we stopped using terms like catfish and started calling them what they are… Liars, cheats, and fraudsters, people might be a bit more wary and a bit more alert as to what’s going on.
Catfish are delicious and useful in the environment. They should stop insulting catfish and use the true words to describe these fraudulent, murderous monsters.
27 years in prison doesn’t seem enough for 1st degree murder and dismemberment of someone. And, I don’t understand why she kept going out with him when she knew that he had lied to her? I hope her children and loved ones can find some kind of peace.
Killing someone is bad enough, but when they dismember the body? That just takes it to a whole different level of derangement! How awful for her daughters to lose their mother. Only to then find out she was dismembered. It's like killing her over & over! How horrible to live with something like this! Love your channel!
Imagine several decades from now, and a woman messaging someone on a Silver Fox dating site. The man has changed his name, so she doesn't know he's The Killer who has spent 27 years in prison for dismembering a woman and dumping body parts all across the city!
Here we go again! Somebody please explain to me how a man who killed and dismembered a woman only gets twenty seven and a half years in prison???? 😮 Ingrid's children will be adult women by the time John Charleton gets out. Explain please what type of message that sends to them???? The man has an obvious criminal history that showed increasing escalation and his own parents were afraid of him! Why is Charleton not behind bars or in a mental institution for life?!?!
He would have so-called mitigating factors that were beyond his control eg alcoholism or mental illness or bad role models as a child etc … and he may have said how very sorry he was…! Seriously, that would get you ten years off a twenty yr sentence in Australia most of the time.
Another sad case from my native WA. I remember this case. I was actually doing online dating myself when this poor woman was killed. The poor woman had a life worth living and it was snuffed out by a degenerate worthless creep. I can't use the words I want to use. RIP to Ingrid and my condolescences to her children and family. Ladies and gents...please be careful out here when participating in the dating pool.
This will be an unpopular opinion but this is one of the many reasons why ppl should leave online dating alone. This man was homeless. He would NOT have the confidence to approach this woman in person.
I like what you said at the end there. *Life is short* & you don’t want to miss out on fun activities w/ family, friends & loved ones. RIP 🤍 & bless her daughters
Thank you DC for another excellent and sensitive episode. I feel deeply for Ingrid’s parents and daughters. While I’m sure there are decent, kind men, I don’t date and haven’t since my husband divorced me 500 years ago (slight exaggeration). 💗✨
That sentence is in no way long enough. That man should never know another day of freedom for this haniouus crime. He took a mother of 3 children and for that he doesn't deserve to ever walk among innocent people. Shame on our broken justice system for getting this so wrong. Prayers for the victims and her family.
Well that just reinforces my decision to stay off the apps. Is there anything worse than a homicidal maniac who will want to borrow your car and "isn't looking for anything serious"?
Twenty seven years? This guy sounds like a psychopath and is a danger to society. He’s also relatively young. God help those he comes n in contact with when he is released. Shame on those who gave him such a light sentence for such a heinous act. Even Charles Manson, who was never actually at the site of either of the horrendous Tate/LaBianca murders, died where he belonged…in prison. As should this monster.
HA! I hope I'm not judged for not owning a car. I lived in NYC when I turned driving age. Wasn't necessary and still isn't. The job + home are different issues. I've stopped working at times. I do have a home though....This wasn't exactly cat fishing. He was the guy in the pics and he admitted those things to her. Why she let him in her house is a good question. RIP.
Something tells me that he may have other victims i mean its clear that he contacted Ingrid to lur her in and i think there's a strong possibility that he has done the same thing to someone else i think that definitely needs to be looked into to try to find evidence of that being the case
He didn't get life without parole? Excuse me? WTF is going on with this? He stole her life and the children's mother. He doesn't deserve to ever be paroled. 🤬
I’m sorry, but who gets involved with a complete stranger who has lied about everything and you quickly see that they have no job, no car, no place to live, and is an alcoholic?
I feel for Ingrid’s family especially her daughters. I’m a nurse and found love online but I’m a bloke so I guess there’s not as many threats out there though they do exist. So tragic you can read between the lines when someone is genuinely looking for love but Ingrid found a monster. You can never be too careful and what’s the old saying “If it sounds to good to be true it usually is’
Women need to love themselves more. Ingrid found out this guy was a liar and a total loser and she STILL kept seeing him. She had plenty going for her and didn't need to settle for this psycho. It's always depressing to see women sell themselves short. May her loved ones find peace.
Renton, Wa is a city of dirtbags, its nothing but problems everytime I go there. I remember this case though, on the news they said a woman was missing (that was Ingrid) and immediately after that they went to a story about body parts of a unknown woman. I called the news and told them its probably the missing womans body parts
@@KohalaLover True, but it happens more often with people you meet up the way she did. You know virtually nothing about them other than what they tell you or what they think you want to hear that looks good. He told her a pack of lies, didn't he?
@@GreenTT-l1lNot victim blaming but stating facts. The guy was unemployed, didn't have a home and had a serious drinking problem yet she chose to continue a relationship with him. People need to use common sense. She had her children's safety to think about, too.
This isn't cat fishing this is a psychopath and a ticking time bomb. His parents were obviously afraid of him hench they took out a restraining order on him.
@@spleeeen4it when I use the term bum I’m talking about in the dating world somebody that doesn’t own a car doesn’t have a job doesn’t have a personal dwelling. “Nice” you say? He wound up killing her, so I’m not sure if you and I watched the same video.
Statistically speaking, in the cities of Seattle and Portland, Oregon, there are more serial killers than there are everywhere else on earth collectively. The number of currently living serial killers in these two cities is actually greater than the amount of serial killers that have ever lived throughout the history of humankind.
As soon as he complete his laughable sentence, he will do exactly the same again. What will he learn positive and new in prison to offer to society on his release 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔...
Oh my gosh.. he spent the night with them ? He could have killed them all ! Thank you Dark Curiosities..always well done .. so tragic though so very tragic 1
This case can be a warning to parents who seek out dating strangers, especially those with glaring red flags. We are responsible for our children, and they should be our first priority. At the very least, dating should only happen while taking proper safety precautions. I can't even imagine how terrifying her last moments were. My heart breaks for her children and her ex.
Thankyou for the video & your hard work.There's one place i'd never go to is a Dating site.I'd sooner meet someone by the natural conventional method,,,,,even then,ya have to be careful.There's a lot of nutcases out there !!!BEWARE !!!!
@@viridianstar Agreed. Let’s blame the woman for erroneously choosing this man, but not the man for choosing to murder and dismember someone. Totally sound idea.

Hmmm. Chances are if the “Wedding Vows’ were followed between this couple, this particular crime would never have occurred. Like so many other like situations.
@@KohalaLover - Hmmm. I never indicated who was to blame, unlike your comment to me. The ‘vows’ were exchanged by this couple. At least one of them failed to make good. Pretty simple puzzle to solve for a person with average intelligence, right?
Tev: Your logic is hard to understand. The message here is that strangers and those close to us can be dangerous. What if she was being abused and broke her vows to protect herself. Or her husband broke his vows for the same reason? Staying together isn't always healthy. In fact, most murders are done by the spouse of the victim. So?
So you’re implying that if she had ‘done the right thing’ (in your opinion) and stayed with her former husband, this crime would never have happened, which you think is her fault because you are against the idea of divorce (which you have no right to presume anything about in her or anyone’s situation, by the way). That’s like someone saying, ‘I am against the eating of animals. If Joe Shmoe hadn’t eaten that burger, he wouldn’t have choked to death, which I am considering to be his fault.” Are you beginning to see how your logic, if you can call it that, might be flawed? I would refrain from making comments about other people’s intelligence.

I wouldn't call this 'catfishing'. It's just a psychopath who decided to act out his worst fantasies on a very unfortunate victim.
The fact that John's own parents took out a restraining order against him proves how dangerous that he is
Under 28 years for killing someone. Probably released into the society in less time than that. That's not justice!
It should have been life without parole. This guy is a monster.
He's a compulsive liar on top of being a murderer
I remember this case, which, as a lady actively dating in Seattle during this time I was chilled to the bone
As a lifelong Seattle area resident myself, I also remember reading about this case online, but moreso I remember being HORRIFIED that some women were saying in the comment section of the Seattle Times that they didn't believe the killer to be guilty, because as they put it, he was "too good looking" and "wouldn't need" to catfish anyone.

Oooh. I live in Seattle right now this is a very creepy and disturbing case.
Another reminder that this online dating scene can be extremely dangerous.
Exactly, still think being introduced by multiple people who know both parties well is the best way to
I think background checks are a good idea particularly when meeting this way
The dating scene in real life can be dangerous. Unfortunately 1 out of 3 women experiences intimate partner violence.
So "meeting someone in a bar", which is, and probably always has been, a fairly common way to meet a romantic/ life partner is a safe alternative? 🤔
@@pulaski1yep, better than internet dating.
Those poor little girls….to lose their mother like that….😢😢
I know. That's a trauma they will never fully recover from. I truly hope their dad does all he can to help them through the years. 😢
This Scottish lass ALWAYS does a very respectful and professional job presenting these cases !!
Only 27 years for taking someone's life and destroying lives is ridiculous.
Well, considering he was homeless, he now has secure housing, three meals a day, free medical care, access to TV/internet, books, etc. I’d say his situation has vastly improved. 🫤
Good Lord,
What a grisly crime!! What kinda creature does this to another human being?!
A monster

Yeah plus this isn’t catfishing it’s just lying. Catfishing is when you use someone else’s photos and identity, not just when you lie

Thank you for the positive description of the Seattle area. Washington is a beautiful state. I remember this case, so tragic.
I remember when this story was in the news and I’ve seen it covered on a number of crime shows. Never gets any easier to hear.
I remember this case as it was developing. Her poor family: none of them deserved that. He was so vile.
