Ted Bundy trying to centre himself in another serial killers narrative and Gary Ridgway not wanting to take credit for another killers work are 2 totally fascinating things that make me so curious with these people and their minds
It’s clear that Bundy saw an opportunity here for two reasons. First, he was trying everything to avoid being put to death. He absolutely ran out all chances at appeals and desperately tried to convince law enforcement he could still be of use. Second, it was yet another chance for him to feel like the smartest guy in the room. He relished the opportunity to be the one with the answers. Serial killers and low-empathy criminals of all kind absolutely bask in the idea of outsmarting people, especially law enforcement. The police coming to him for help definitely boosted his ego immensely.
After Ted Bundy became infamous, with the press immortalising him as this handsome, charming, brilliant mind, MANY serial killers listed “being famous like Bundy” as a reason for their actions. I think that openly displaying their “kills” was a desire for fame & power. Did the really clever serial killers just continue hiding the bodies so well that they were never found. So many people disappear, never to be found. Do serial killers who don’t want fame, who need to kill, get away with it?
It makes me mad when people say "Oh well it's just a prostitute".....at the end of the day they're still someone's daughter and deserve the same respect as anyone else. Another great case, looking forward to the next one x
Oh, yes. Makes me absolutely livid! How dare anyone judge some of the most vulnerable, abused & endangered members of society based on their profession?! Especially knowing that SO many of them don't *at all* want to be doing sex work, or aren't doing it voluntarily at all and have been trafficked into it! Devaluing the lives of sex workers is *the* textbook definition of "punching down," IMHO.
@Voirrey M You're very welcome! Now, I do know that not ALL sex workers are trafficked, (I've actually personally known 2 people who did sex work to pay university tuition, and 2 people who had secret addiction issues and basically snuck out to do sex work when their families were at work/school, to earn money to support their habits without alerting their families by taking money out of joint bank accounts; one of the latter was actually a suburban "soccer mom" who secretly did sex work for years while her kids were at school!) but enough of them are that it makes me *livid* whenever anyone judges or demeans them! To me, it's all too similar to the infuriating refrain of, "Well, if she didn't like her husband beating her to a pulp for years, why didn't she just walk away?" Oh, gee. I dunno. Maybe because people will do a surprising amount of things they wouldn't normally do when they're brainwashed and/or literally afraid for their lives?? 🤬🤯😡 It makes me even more pissed off that nobody seems to say that, for example, former POWs are somehow morally culpable for things *they* did to survive...no matter how demeaning and shameful those things may have been. Nope, they're heroes...but a starving, homeless adolescent runaway or a child from a 3rd world village who were trafficked into sex work supposedly have something to be ashamed of and judged for?! Sorry for the TL; DR. I just get SO mad when people judge ALL sex workers as either solely victims who need to be saved, OR as solely "morally degenerate" scum who need to be judged!! Grrrrrr!!
I was working near the area that steve Wright lived when he was killing young ladies. I started to bus to work rather than walk it was a horrible feeling living in Ipswich. The way some people spoke about these girls was disgusting as they were known sex workers. Xx
I think what hurts my soul the most is the killing is bad enough for their families but to throw them away like garbage and think of them as so. That is as someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, maybe even someone’s mum 😭
Hi Emma, new subscriber here. I have a daughter named Emma, she is in heaven now, and that name always brings a warm spot to my heart. You did a fabulous job on the Green River killer. We lived not far from his dumping grounds in Oregon and I just wanted you to know, you did a fantastic with this and I appreciate the compassion and kindness you showed toward his victims! Excellent work Emma Thank You!
Hello 👋🏼😊 I’m an Emma too; I’m sorry you lost yours, I am sure she is much around you in spirit and I’m sorry for your loss, but, warmed by your seeming strength and still-kind demeanour 🙏🏼 I hope that this finds you well 🥰😘
You can tell how much you have watched and read into this as a lot of the time your speaking from memory and it shows , rather than a total word from word on a script and that’s definitely what makes you much better than most true crime channels on UA-cam for sure!!!
ABSOLUTELY best!!!! 👏👏💋 sex work out and out isn't a choice... it's totally sad and sadistic way to survive. Drugs .. food.. roofs over their heads and feeding their family...
@@melissaspier4840 women doing sex work or ones I've ever known do NOT sit and provide a home environment for their kids lol they're feeding crack or dope addictions and trying to get clean and maybe get they're kids back....
I had the misfortune of being a young woman in Seattle at this time. Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway were running loose in my town. My stepsister's best friend was a victim of Ted Bundy. If you don't think these 2 monsters affected how women in the 70's and 80's related to men when dating well it did. We're the hardest city to get a date in.
Wow that must of been so horrific ,,these killers had the same thing in common apart from blood lust they looked so normal ,,nothing stands out about them very dangerous It makes me feel sick the way ted Bundy gets idolised by some crime fans ,,
I just wrote about that. It's crazy that we had two serial killer's, picking off different demographics so no young woman was safe. I was pretty young (born in 76) but since my mom was into true crime and they were major stories at the time, I was pretty aware of it. I'm sorry about your step sister's friend. My mom was approached by Bundy at green lake. The cast & asking for help carrying something to his car. She actually got up off her towel to go, then spotted a male friend & waved him over to come help. Suddenly Bundy had it under control. When sketches started being released she knew it was him & really struggled with the fact that she didn’t pick up on anything. She had good instincts, she was aware girls were disappearing (to the point that she was considering cutting her hair, which was long & parted in the middle) & it really made her question herself. Apparently his vibe was just friendly and helpless.
Bundy went to UW & worked on the Evans gubernatorial campaign. I think he was a psych major before law school somewhere else. In 2016 I was a UW history student & had one class in a detached building I'd never been to before. I was early & just looking around and spotted a framed photo of republican governor Dan Evans at a rally or something. The image is of Evans on stage surrounded by hands holding American flags & reelection signs. I just stood there looking at it for half an hour, studying every hand surrounding him, knowing in all likelihood a hand in the crowd had taken the life from at least 30 human beings. The probability that Bundy was there is so high I'm surprised the university would display it. I guess chances are that most people wouldn't make the connection. Maybe I just have a dark streak. If I do it's probably because I grew up with people like this as the regular topic of conversation among the adults & I was always listing in. The picture is just a successful UW alumni who became governor. But Bundy is there, haunting those who remember.
Robert Pickman was working in the area at the same time, too. “The Pig Killer”, I don’t mean to add to that fear. But I was a teenager running amok at Elephant Butte Lake, just down the road from The Toy Box Killer, David Parker Ray, the entire time he was working. And no one knew he was there.
I’m only 11 minutes in at this point, but I do often wonder why a man taking part in a “sexual business transaction” is seen as indulging in typical male behaviour and not a big deal, but the woman is seen as dirty and worthless. I did my final essay of my Criminology degree this year on the relationship of pornography to crime, harm and the state. It made for some fascinating and absolutely depressing reading 🤔😫
I do believe sex workers take more risks by climbing into strangers vehicles and going to remote locations without tasers or other weapons. Maybe we should bring back Madames and bordellos.
Emma, it’s like sitting on the sofa with coffee ☕️ or glass of vino having a chat 💬 with a friend! You tell a great true story & keep us interested, thank you 🙏
My bestfriends dad in high school worked with him, we went to the place of work several times and I remember meeting him... chills me to the bone everytime I think about it!!
Thank you so much for what you said at the beginning about sex workers! I'm sick of how the media plays it when they are involved like they aren't talking about an actual human being. Even in the recent Ripper documentary on Netflix one of the investigators made a comment regarding the victims "not being innocent"! My jaw hit the floor. Hopefully more people can start to have your attitude x
That whole "innocent victims" thing with the Sutcliffe investigation makes me so angry I could spit! Good on Emma for speaking out against what's still so often such a pervasively horrific, harmful and rotten stereotype! Sex workers are human beings...full stop. It needs to be said. Thank you, Emma!
Agree, I was a sew worker. The amount of men that thought i was" fair game" I was an autistic vulnerable adult. Not asking for sympathy. Just greatful that Emma made that comment about us being human beings.maybe if I had been diagnosed as ASD early on, I may have not taken thst path. I have put my exsperience to good use In helping others.. iv blown my anominity so please, no abuse. e
Emma is the best true crime investigator and presenter of victims I've ever seen , she highlights the people that are lost, which is what everyone forgets , she gives victims a voice that they never had , a true passionate and intelligent woman , who has always worked her ass off , with her hubby Pete,
It doesn't matter if you do a story that is covered a lot because you offer what many channels don't - the psychological component. You hold a unique spot because you are one of the few professionals doing this on You Tube. It is so worth listening to you regardless of how many others have covered the same thing. I am in the field and I benefit, learn something I didn't know or see a different perspective, every time I watch an episode. Plus, you are the coolest thing going in true crime, lol.
One of the most interesting vids on Gary Ridgeway, thank you. Can you do a vid on Samuel Little, serial killer, active from 1970 - 2005? He confessed to killing 93 women, they've confirmed 60 of his list. He did remarkable drawings of his victims from memory which aided in the ability to solve the ones they did. Plus, relatives were astonished at the likeness. Thank you.
Yes! Black serial killers seemed to kill for decades without anyone really knowing. Even tv shows like Criminal Minds & books on serial killers STILL state that most serial killers are “straight white men”. That’s not true! Killers tend to kill victims of the same race. Highly vulnerable, black women were even less cared about when they went missing than vulnerable white women.
You have a level of professional knowledge and experience that a lot of youtubers don't have. That's why people ask you to cover people that many other youtubers have covered. Gary Ridgeway is why I yell at hitchhikers "don't you know hitchhikers get picked up by serial killers?!" lol I don't actually yell it AT them, I don't humiliate people like that. However, I will drive past them and holler it in my car lol
I watch a lot of true crime on UA-cam. Of the self narrated shows, Emma's is the best. She has a knack for story telling, and hers are the ones that can hold my attention for an hour or more. Keep the great content coming!
Gary Ridgeway reminds me of Dennis Rader. In fact, I sometimes confuse the two. Both were capable of being almost two completely different people, and they were able to keep from slipping into complete madness as so many often do at the end.
This made me chuckle.. thought I'd just been down the true crime rabbit hole too long when she covered Rader and I'd had that thought. She was talkin' about his childhood and had said somethin' about it bein' a rather normal one and my immediate thought was, 'what about the mom washin' his junk after he peed the bed into his teen bit, that ain't normal' before she said Rader's name again and it registered. Glad to know I ain't alone in kinda categorizing them similarly, if nothin' else. 😹😹
Emma your UA-cam is brilliant, it’s my regular chill time ! I love the different cases and the psychology behind these criminals . Your channel is addictive ! ♥️
Most these criminals have such a way about them that they present themselves like decent people, yet what they're talking about is the worst thing imaginable. Creepy.
They don't fit what society describes as "monsters". People look for the overtly "creepy" bloke who more often than not has profound mental illness or learning disabilities and is more of a danger to themselves than anyone else. No one is looking for the church deacon or factory worker
Truth. I went to school with the daughter of a serial killer, and whilst people generally thought of her dad as "strange" or "a bit off," etc., certainly nobody ever thought, "Hmm, I wonder if he's murdered more than a dozen people?" And, FWIW, although this isn't an example of a murderer- there was a family on the street I grew up on in which the mother turned out to have been sexually abusing their child for many years...and these folks weren't merely seen as "normal," they were downright "pillar of the community" types! It's terrifying, knowing that it's basically impossible to know...
We don’t get to see them at their point of murdering too, sometimes surviving victims have said they flip Coroners say, these injuries had to have been inflicted in fits of extreme rage Bundy lost it in court, flaring up like a demonic bird and I think it was the prosecution or judge that said, that’s how his victims would have seen him...Kemper was similar. So placid and submissive in front of men, yet he got triggered when speaking to a woman psychiatrist I think it was, or an author. Got triggered, started rearing up, and she felt that’s the Kemper his victims saw. It is very scary to think how these decent appearing people, have terrifying switches in them and are capable of causing great harm. Their fronts must really create a false sense of security
Women have been hated forever. It's so painful to carry the pain around of all those poor lives and feel it deep inside. Thanks for all you do, Emma. ❤️
I think Gary Ridgway showed remorse because being forgiven in the eyes of God helps him absolve himself. I don't think his tears were empathy for the victim/s or the father, only himself. I love your content thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos.
I lived in San Diego while Ridgeway was in the Navy. There was a huge spike in murders of prostitutes, but the police never released any details of the victims. Then it just stopped. I’ve never heard of any follow up. Your work is exceptional. Thank you, Richard
Looking forward to this, one of his police interviews when he is asked about going back to the corpse and committing necrophilia. He is confused by the question, as though it's totally normal. Unbelievable, all the best Emma and everyone 👍❤️
@@bibleartgiftsyorkshire4326 hope you are good bible, yes obviously their moral compass is that out of kilter these abhorrent actions feel like they are acceptable or in some cases the norm( but the elephant in the room.) Have a good night 👍
Yes!! Same thing with Dennis Rader & Russell Williams- they answer the questions with such a blasé, casual affect that it literally brought gooseflesh to my arms watching their confessions! Like you said, it's not merely evident that Ridgway et al find their own acts totally non-repugnant in their own minds...it's like they genuinely seem unable to even comprehend why or how *others* will almost invariably perceive their actions as nightmarishly, inhumanly obscene to an unimaginable degree! (Conversely, Jeffrey Dahmer repeatedly interjected his confession with such statements as, "This is going to seem so horrible," "you're going to think I'm a monster," etc., demonstrating at least *some* understanding that others would indeed see him as monstrous.) IMHO at least- that casual, unbothered attitude can actually seem *more* horrifying than an unhinged, overtly violent and/or bloodthirsty one! To paraphrase one of Ridgeway's prosecutors: "He was so pleasant & polite I had to remind myself that, given the chance, he would strangle me and violate my corpse." I think her statement just about perfectly sums up *why* his unruffled affect is so chilling...perhaps especially to women. All the best to you and everyone else, as well! Sorry I missed the chat- you were all so welcoming & lovely the time I joined in! Hope to be there next time...
That'd be an interesting one! Still infuriates me how she got off. I was glued to that case & tuned into Courttv daily while it was going out. It dumbfounds me how she walked.
Please do a video on Charles Allbright "The Eyeball Killer". He kept eyes as trophies. I would love an analysis of his childhood and how obsessions start. Thanks. Love your videos. 💕
For me it's not important how many times and by who each case was covered.. You are always putting something new and interesting to this. There is no one else talking about cases like you. You're not only telling the story, for me you putting everything into new perspective. Xx
I’m binge watching after discovering your channel a couple of months ago. This was absolutely fantastic Emma, definitely one of my favourites so far. I’ve seen this covered a few times on t.v but you are SO compelling and bring so much more to the table. X
I'm really looking forward to your take and opinion on this case Emma! I've watched loads of videos on him, but I think yours is going to be the most interesting. You also add emotion and your own opinion in your cases which I really enjoy you doing. Other ones I've watched are just cold analysis of the case. I also love the way you're uploading twice a week now. I really look forward to your videos and they really help me take my mind off my problems and other things. Thank you so much Emma xx 🥰🥰
We love you Emma, you're awesome! Best t-shirt yet btw🤘🇦🇺🤘 You could be talking about the manufacture of brown paper bags and we'd still listen hun, it's your telling and ability to draw your audience in that makes you so good at this.
I agree with you about Freud. I’ve yet to meet someone who wanted to have sex with their parents….. I think several aspects of psychoanalysis are applicable, such as defence mechanisms, for example….but Freud is just too weird! Insightful and impeccably researched videos, Emma. Thanks!
I don’t think Freud was correct the general public having sexual attraction towards their parents. I think HE felt that way and justified it by saying that EVERYONE felt that way. Nice try, weirdo!
Yeah.. Freud may have contributed to psychology and made some great points and theories but I really think the attraction to your parents thing is incredibly far fetched and strange
In Freud’s defense I think he had to exaggerate things because he was essentially inventing psychology- Inventing the idea that not everything was on the surface. And I think this is what he means by the Oedipus and Elektra complexes. The desires and confusion is normally subconscious . That doesn’t mean they don’t mean anything, but it does mean that in most (modern) societies These feelings are going to remain below the surface. They are not going to be overt and Acted on literally. I see it all as a part of an acknowledgment of our animal / mammal origins. Many mammals have “incest” (ever own gerbils?) and I think it’s highly likely that such behavior was engaged In in pre-moral human cultures just as one has to imagine that to survive some of our ancestors ate human flesh despite modern civilization’s taboos on both of these behaviors. I’m not arguing that we should engage in these things now. It’s just that we should be aware that generations of these behaviors in our evolution Can be contained now -but not entirely erased from within us.
Partner : I will get dinner . Shall we watch the football? Me: Do not be silly . I have a date with Emma . You know how I feel about Emma time . Partner : Yes . I know how you feel about Emma time. ;) - He knows me well since I watch nothing . Till now :) . Thank you again Emma . Honestly thank you . Xx
@@susanwalton7729 I wish I thought of that one . Stored in the memory box for next time . He did buy in dinner for me to watch the football lol so I had sound cancellation headphones on watching this episode eating triple black olive pizza . :) . Xx
I’ve been really poorly this week and genuinely watched your videos for 5 days straight while being laid up and I can’t stop! You are so good at what you do and how you read people. Honestly my favourite true crime channel
Emma - I've only recently started watching your channel, however I must compliment you on the detail you provide. Most of the subjects I have already heard about or watched the televised trials in some detail, however you always seem to provide a little bit more information that often goes unnoticed or unheard of.Thank you for your dedicated and thorough input. It doesn't go unnoticed x
Cracking content, as ever. Not many have the stomach to explore the depths of depravity as you do, and of those, even fewer can talk about it with such grace and compassion. Amazing work. I'd like to suggest Eddie Lee Sexton as a subject for a video. The case is not well known in the UK, so far as I'm aware, and is darker than midnight in a coal mine...
The man who runs the “Soft White Underbelly” channel often interviews sex workers in LA. It’s truly shocking how many believe that they have (in recent years & past decades) narrowly escaped serial killers! They state that they have lost many friends in the same business, to serial killers & the police STILL don’t care! They may have stopped openly using the deplorable label of NHI “No Humans Involved” but cops in LA haven’t lost the attitude.
Yessssss,I watched practically everything about Gary but I still wanted to see your coverage because I know it will be different and very good,thanks Emma. 🖤🔥
Nooo! Missed the live chat! Which is especially frustrating, as I've (totally coincidentally!) found myself reading/watching everything I can find about Ridgway recently. I'd really been looking forward to an opportunity to bounce some questions off of this community...or even possibly Emma herself. Oh, I'm kicking myself *so* hard right now, but also SO looking forward to the episode! Thanks again, Emma, for doing this. It's amazing and you're so very deeply appreciated!
This was so prevalent during the Peter Sutcliffe/ Yorkshire Ripper killings. The police and media were so degrading towards the female victims who were prostitutes and even went so far as to talk about 'innocent victims' when Sutcliffe murdered an office worker. Many of these women ended up in sex work due to poverty or having left an abusive husband and needed to support their children, they were not talked about with any kind of compassion. There was so much misogyny in that whole situation. And it had a terrible effect on their children too, hearing their Mums being referred to in that way.
Emma, love your breakdowns of all these fascinating cases. Could you go deep on the childhood psychology of Luka Magnotta? Just finished watching the Netflix series but it doesn't cover why he turned out like that in the first place. Also can I request the Ken and Barbie killers to be covered too pleaaase? Thank you for your awesome work.
Hi Emma! Hoping you might consider covering the "Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs" this one has always stuck with me...Loving your work/this channel... ...Pantera!! Hell yes!
I’ve been watching all of your crime videos & as soon as I saw that this was about GLR - Green River Killer - my first thought was the guy who forgave him in the courtroom. That gentle man made such an impression on me that he’s the first person I think of when I think of forgiveness, Robert Rule. I’m glad GLR didn’t get the death sentence but I think he should have been sentenced to hard work! He got it too easy, way too easy! Thanks to Emma for putting these episodes together & sad to say this but I doubt you’ll ever run out of people to do episodes about!
You are just the gift that keeps on giving, Em!! Fantastic as always. The highlight to my Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Thank you for bringing each and every crime story in so much depth to us. Xxx
My heart breaks for that poor woman. I hope she's had plenty of good support & therapy and has found some measure of healing in the past ~18 years! She sure deserves it!
Once again Emma you have done an amazing job covering this story. Mondays and Thursdays are my favourite days of the week, (As i live in Australia) once my twins are at school i can sit and watch with a cuppa coffee. Would love you to do one about Ivan milat one day please
I hope he gets lots of special treatment in his jail, maybe the other inmates will allow him to have a glance into how Lindsay must have felt being abused by him, I bet he is not so fast to throw hands with men equal in size and strength.
You tell a story like an angel 😇 so clever and on the ball...! I could Liston to you voice all day..well done Emma your a one off special person..! Keep them coming x
Emma you did it again ! And I agree with you about Freud definitely a strange individual. I like psychoanalysis but some of his theories are bizzare. Good Job on this case , covered many times but you always bring something to the table that sets you apart, precisely your personality .
Oh my goodness! Now THAT would be fascinating!! (Have you read the book, "The Burning of Bridget Cleary?" If not, I highly recommend it!) What a profoundly tragic, confusing, bizarre case that one is...
@@maneckineckbeard1749 I love it! It was my first case as I’m near the area so that’s how i got into true crime! I just find no one does older cases anymore and they are some of the craziest
I live in Washington, about thirty minutes from Seattle. I grew up in the 80s and my parents would discuss Ted Bundy and who the Green River Killer was. Even so far from where the crimes occurred, people were terrified. No women would go out alone. It was crazy.
My father in law was convicted for possessing child abuse material and was a sex addict. He was a ‘pillar of the community’, super religious, upstanding citizen type. On the surface he seemed like a ‘nice guy’, yet I always felt slightly uncomfortable around him but didn’t know why.
What a great hour and a half. I have to say that I have seen quite a few programs about the 'delightful 'Gary Ridgeway but your telling of his story has been the only one that I couldn't take my eyes away from 🤓. The time that you have taken from your day to research this story totally shines through, leaving me with a much greater understanding of this man and the way his mind works to enable him to commit such heinous acts against humanity. The signs of empathy and understanding you showed towards these women who were not considered worthy members of the population by large groups of people not just the reprobate Gary Ridgeway bought tears of real 😢sorrow to my eyes. You really are an amazing story teller, because I am sure that I am not the only one watching who felt this way. I hope people 🙏do subscribe in their thousands because l know it will bring a big smile to your face 😊 and you deserve all of it 😘
Hi Emma! I’ve always loved the way you break down a cases and you are truly mesmerising to watch! You were always my favourite narrator on tv shows so I’m so happy you’re doing this!!! Well done!! Big fan here!!
No matter how many people put videos up on cases I love hearing other points. Especially now yours it brings things I have never heard or thought of. So please always consider it no matter many times cases spoken about.
EMMA THE FACT THAT THESE STORIES HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE MEANS NOTHING. DONT LET THAT PUT YOU OFF DOING THEM AGAIN. LIKE YOU I HAVE WATCHED THE GARY RIDGEWAY STORY MANY TIMES BY MANY VLOGGERS BUT I JUST FIND THAT YOU MAKE YOUR STORIES SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING. SO MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER VLOGGER. I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR TAKE ON ALL THESE STORIES EVEN THE OVER DONE ONES. YOUR WAY OF TELLING THESE STORIES AND THE QUIPS YOU PUT IN MAKE IT UNIQUE. I WOULD STILL RATHER WATCH YOUR VERSION THAN ANYONE ELSES. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOU CAN DO THE STORY EVEN IF ITS BEEN DONE 1000000X BEFORE. YOU ARE JUST MORE INTERESTING TO WATCH.
Emma, I love your insight in these videos, you give incredible details!! Please, if you get a chance, could you do one on Paris Bennett ? I would love to hear your take on that horrendous crime !! Many thanks 😊
Emma, I nearly fainted when you said he was fanatically religious! I never expected that, and it's the 1st I have heard of it, even though I have seen many documentaries and a movie about him.
Kudos!! Emma. You have endless stamina and are a great orator. It's evident of the great amount of work you put into the presentation and is certainly well-formed and knowledgeable. Your channel is fabulous!💕👍✌🇻🇬
No way I'm first! Interested to see what you have to say about this one. You always manage to give us some delicious little details that we haven't come across in other true crime resources. I love that about your channel! You think you know a case, and Emma comes along and gives you some tidbits of info you didn't even know existed! Still holding out for a show on Abel/Furlan or any other mission based killers.(Insert broken record sound HERE. 😄) I was also thinking that any content you could do on female family annihilators would be fantastic, too. (NOT women who killed their children because of PPD, like Andrea Yates.) You're the bees' knees, Emma. 🐝 Our adoration for you continues to grow. Cheers!
Female family annihilators are under-studied (for various reasons that I've read of) & certainly under-reported by true crime media in general. Excellent suggestion!
It’s interesting that he chose strangulation because it was “more personal & rewarding” but he always did it from behind not looking into their faces. Many serial killers liked the power of watching life drain away. Some would allow their victims to revive & strangle them repeatedly but Ridgeway wanted it fast & clean…🤔
I k ew about this story but you have given us so many details that I had no idea about. I do enjoy your way of telling us the story of what happened. I’m so curious if you write down what you are going to cover or you just have this great memory and can remember every single detail of what you researched? I think it’s the latter. Anyways do enjoy what you do! Don’t ever stop please! 😊😊😊😊😊
I strangely had the same thing, and was really confounded by that. Pity for him, very strange when we know the horrendous things he's done. Maybe because he took responsibility & showed some emotion during his trial?
Another fascinating case, thank you Emma. I really appreciate hearing your input on what makes these people tick. Could you please take a peek at Jamie Osuna, would love to hear what you think!
I watched a Documentary on him years ago , absolutely horrific. I don’t know why I am so obsessed with crime documentaries. 5 years ago I found my self laying in bed watching one on UA-cam . I used to watch unsolved Mysteries when I was a kid and crime watch daily. Hooked on Emma version of crime , the way she tells a story , and gives a victim a true story and deep dive into all the characters lives gives me a better understanding why and how a killer becomes a murderer . I now look at a lot of people and think I bet that one’s a serial killer lol . But seriously I’m more aware of my surroundings now and what goes on in the real world .
Ted Bundy trying to centre himself in another serial killers narrative and Gary Ridgway not wanting to take credit for another killers work are 2 totally fascinating things that make me so curious with these people and their minds
yeah, it seems like they still live by a code, its just a completely skewed code.. its really crazy.
@@nicole6323 serial killer code
It’s clear that Bundy saw an opportunity here for two reasons. First, he was trying everything to avoid being put to death. He absolutely ran out all chances at appeals and desperately tried to convince law enforcement he could still be of use. Second, it was yet another chance for him to feel like the smartest guy in the room. He relished the opportunity to be the one with the answers. Serial killers and low-empathy criminals of all kind absolutely bask in the idea of outsmarting people, especially law enforcement. The police coming to him for help definitely boosted his ego immensely.
After Ted Bundy became infamous, with the press immortalising him as this handsome, charming, brilliant mind, MANY serial killers listed “being famous like Bundy” as a reason for their actions. I think that openly displaying their “kills” was a desire for fame & power.
Did the really clever serial killers just continue hiding the bodies so well that they were never found. So many people disappear, never to be found. Do serial killers who don’t want fame, who need to kill, get away with it?
@@sarahtoll8400Wasn't Bundy an exemplary inmate, too? So strange...
It makes me mad when people say "Oh well it's just a prostitute".....at the end of the day they're still someone's daughter and deserve the same respect as anyone else.
Another great case, looking forward to the next one x
Oh, yes. Makes me absolutely livid! How dare anyone judge some of the most vulnerable, abused & endangered members of society based on their profession?! Especially knowing that SO many of them don't *at all* want to be doing sex work, or aren't doing it voluntarily at all and have been trafficked into it!

we should say the same about the John's who end up dying due to their own stupidity
@Voirrey M You're very welcome!
Now, I do know that not ALL sex workers are trafficked, (I've actually personally known 2 people who did sex work to pay university tuition, and 2 people who had secret addiction issues and basically snuck out to do sex work when their families were at work/school, to earn money to support their habits without alerting their families by taking money out of joint bank accounts; one of the latter was actually a suburban "soccer mom" who secretly did sex work for years while her kids were at school!) but enough of them are that it makes me *livid* whenever anyone judges or demeans them! To me, it's all too similar to the infuriating refrain of, "Well, if she didn't like her husband beating her to a pulp for years, why didn't she just walk away?"
Oh, gee. I dunno. Maybe because people will do a surprising amount of things they wouldn't normally do when they're brainwashed and/or literally afraid for their lives?? 🤬🤯😡
It makes me even more pissed off that nobody seems to say that, for example, former POWs are somehow morally culpable for things *they* did to survive...no matter how demeaning and shameful those things may have been. Nope, they're heroes...but a starving, homeless adolescent runaway or a child from a 3rd world village who were trafficked into sex work supposedly have something to be ashamed of and judged for?!
Sorry for the TL; DR. I just get SO mad when people judge ALL sex workers as either solely victims who need to be saved, OR as solely "morally degenerate" scum who need to be judged!! Grrrrrr!!
I was working near the area that steve Wright lived when he was killing young ladies. I started to bus to work rather than walk it was a horrible feeling living in Ipswich. The way some people spoke about these girls was disgusting as they were known sex workers. Xx
“Someone’s daughter” yes, but also Someone.
I think what hurts my soul the most is the killing is bad enough for their families but to throw them away like garbage and think of them as so. That is as someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, maybe even someone’s mum 😭
Hi Emma, new subscriber here. I have a daughter named Emma, she is in heaven now, and that name always brings a warm spot to my heart. You did a fabulous job on the Green River killer. We lived not far from his dumping grounds in Oregon and I just wanted you to know, you did a fantastic with this and I appreciate the compassion and kindness you showed toward his victims! Excellent work Emma Thank You!
❤ so sorry for your loss .
Sorry for your loss prayers 🙏 😔 it is a beautiful name
Hello 👋🏼😊 I’m an Emma too; I’m sorry you lost yours, I am sure she is much around you in spirit and I’m sorry for your loss, but, warmed by your seeming strength and still-kind demeanour 🙏🏼 I hope that this finds you well 🥰😘
Heres another one, i hope you get another warm spot❤
Lol but they were all prostituttttes though.
You can tell how much you have watched and read into this as a lot of the time your speaking from memory and it shows , rather than a total word from word on a script and that’s definitely what makes you much better than most true crime channels on UA-cam for sure!!!
She’s really great..
ABSOLUTELY best!!!! 👏👏💋 sex work out and out isn't a choice... it's totally sad and sadistic way to survive. Drugs .. food.. roofs over their heads and feeding their family...
I Love that Emma Is not reading. It's very unique
@@melissaspier4840 women doing sex work or ones I've ever known do NOT sit and provide a home environment for their kids lol they're feeding crack or dope addictions and trying to get clean and maybe get they're kids back....
Agreed
I had the misfortune of being a young woman in Seattle at this time. Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway were running loose in my town. My stepsister's best friend was a victim of Ted Bundy. If you don't think these 2 monsters affected how women in the 70's and 80's related to men when dating well it did. We're the hardest city to get a date in.
Wow! That must have been a really scary time! I can't imagine living through something like that and constantly watching your back! 😱😱
Wow that must of been so horrific ,,these killers had the same thing in common apart from blood lust they looked so normal ,,nothing stands out about them very dangerous
It makes me feel sick the way ted Bundy gets idolised by some crime fans ,,
I just wrote about that. It's crazy that we had two serial killer's, picking off different demographics so no young woman was safe.
I was pretty young (born in 76) but since my mom was into true crime and they were major stories at the time, I was pretty aware of it. I'm sorry about your step sister's friend.
My mom was approached by Bundy at green lake. The cast & asking for help carrying something to his car. She actually got up off her towel to go, then spotted a male friend & waved him over to come help. Suddenly Bundy had it under control. When sketches started being released she knew it was him & really struggled with the fact that she didn’t pick up on anything.
She had good instincts, she was aware girls were disappearing (to the point that she was considering cutting her hair, which was long & parted in the middle) & it really made her question herself. Apparently his vibe was just friendly and helpless.
Bundy went to UW & worked on the Evans gubernatorial campaign. I think he was a psych major before law school somewhere else.
In 2016 I was a UW history student & had one class in a detached building I'd never been to before. I was early & just looking around and spotted a framed photo of republican governor Dan Evans at a rally or something. The image is of Evans on stage surrounded by hands holding American flags & reelection signs.
I just stood there looking at it for half an hour, studying every hand surrounding him, knowing in all likelihood a hand in the crowd had taken the life from at least 30 human beings.
The probability that Bundy was there is so high I'm surprised the university would display it. I guess chances are that most people wouldn't make the connection. Maybe I just have a dark streak. If I do it's probably because I grew up with people like this as the regular topic of conversation among the adults & I was always listing in.
The picture is just a successful UW alumni who became governor. But Bundy is there, haunting those who remember.
Robert Pickman was working in the area at the same time, too. “The Pig Killer”, I don’t mean to add to that fear. But I was a teenager running amok at Elephant Butte Lake, just down the road from The Toy Box Killer, David Parker Ray, the entire time he was working. And no one knew he was there.
I’m only 11 minutes in at this point, but I do often wonder why a man taking part in a “sexual business transaction” is seen as indulging in typical male behaviour and not a big deal, but the woman is seen as dirty and worthless. I did my final essay of my Criminology degree this year on the relationship of pornography to crime, harm and the state. It made for some fascinating and absolutely depressing reading 🤔😫
fascinating. and yes porn is destroying society
To sell > To buy : All around
Used to really be that way - in every way. it’s a lil diff now, but it lingers especially in realm of ‘service’
Maybe you should publish on Google professional
I do believe sex workers take more risks by climbing into strangers vehicles and going to remote locations without tasers or other weapons. Maybe we should bring back Madames and bordellos.
I bet that is a fantasting read. It's something that really interests me actually.
Your giddy appreciation for this audience gave me a huge smile! You add value wherever you go, Em!!
🥰
Emma, it’s like sitting on the sofa with coffee ☕️ or glass of vino having a chat 💬 with a friend! You tell a great true story & keep us interested, thank you 🙏
Same here! 🫖☕️ 🥰
🌹❤️🌹
My bestfriends dad in high school worked with him, we went to the place of work several times and I remember meeting him... chills me to the bone everytime I think about it!!
“Repugnant” is a word that comes to mind immediately after I hear his name.
Thank you so much for what you said at the beginning about sex workers! I'm sick of how the media plays it when they are involved like they aren't talking about an actual human being.
Even in the recent Ripper documentary on Netflix one of the investigators made a comment regarding the victims "not being innocent"! My jaw hit the floor.
Hopefully more people can start to have your attitude x
Yes great comment Emma made about this.
That whole "innocent victims" thing with the Sutcliffe investigation makes me so angry I could spit! Good on Emma for speaking out against what's still so often such a pervasively horrific, harmful and rotten stereotype!
Sex workers are human beings...full stop. It needs to be said. Thank you, Emma!
It’ll be wonderful when no one is looked down on because of their profession!
Agree, I was a sew worker. The amount of men that thought i was" fair game" I was an autistic vulnerable adult. Not asking for sympathy. Just greatful that Emma made that comment about us being human beings.maybe if I had been diagnosed as ASD early on, I may have not taken thst path. I have put my exsperience to good use In helping others.. iv blown my anominity so please, no abuse.

@@rainbows9060 No hate to you my dear xxxx I am one too ❤️
Emma is the best true crime investigator and presenter of victims I've ever seen , she highlights the people that are lost, which is what everyone forgets , she gives victims a voice that they never had , a true passionate and intelligent woman , who has always worked her ass off , with her hubby Pete,
It doesn't matter if you do a story that is covered a lot because you offer what many channels don't - the psychological component. You hold a unique spot because you are one of the few professionals doing this on You Tube. It is so worth listening to you regardless of how many others have covered the same thing. I am in the field and I benefit, learn something I didn't know or see a different perspective, every time I watch an episode. Plus, you are the coolest thing going in true crime, lol.
I’m not sure if anyone has suggested Col Russel Williams? Interesting to get your take on him.
Fascinating case
YES
One of the most interesting vids on Gary Ridgeway, thank you. Can you do a vid on Samuel Little, serial killer, active from 1970 - 2005? He confessed to killing 93 women, they've confirmed 60 of his list. He did remarkable drawings of his victims from memory which aided in the ability to solve the ones they did. Plus, relatives were astonished at the likeness. Thank you.
Yes! Black serial killers seemed to kill for decades without anyone really knowing. Even tv shows like Criminal Minds & books on serial killers STILL state that most serial killers are “straight white men”. That’s not true! Killers tend to kill victims of the same race. Highly vulnerable, black women were even less cared about when they went missing than vulnerable white women.
You have a level of professional knowledge and experience that a lot of youtubers don't have. That's why people ask you to cover people that many other youtubers have covered. Gary Ridgeway is why I yell at hitchhikers "don't you know hitchhikers get picked up by serial killers?!" lol I don't actually yell it AT them, I don't humiliate people like that. However, I will drive past them and holler it in my car lol
I watch a lot of true crime on UA-cam. Of the self narrated shows, Emma's is the best. She has a knack for story telling, and hers are the ones that can hold my attention for an hour or more. Keep the great content coming!
Gary Ridgeway reminds me of Dennis Rader. In fact, I sometimes confuse the two. Both were capable of being almost two completely different people, and they were able to keep from slipping into complete madness as so many often do at the end.
IV always thought that
This made me chuckle.. thought I'd just been down the true crime rabbit hole too long when she covered Rader and I'd had that thought. She was talkin' about his childhood and had said somethin' about it bein' a rather normal one and my immediate thought was, 'what about the mom washin' his junk after he peed the bed into his teen bit, that ain't normal' before she said Rader's name again and it registered. Glad to know I ain't alone in kinda categorizing them similarly, if nothin' else. 😹😹
@@rosiellagrace i always mix the two up as well. they are the same type as far as appearence and demeanour is concerned.
Same here!
Nooo raders method of killing was so much more fucked up
Emma your UA-cam is brilliant, it’s my regular chill time ! I love the different cases and the psychology behind these criminals . Your channel is addictive ! ♥️
I love how Bundy pretended to want to help catch him. As if he didn't want him caught so he didn't kill more women than him 🙄
Likely wanted to insert himself for personal pleasure.
😂😂😂
Most these criminals have such a way about them that they present themselves like decent people, yet what they're talking about is the worst thing imaginable. Creepy.
They don't fit what society describes as "monsters". People look for the overtly "creepy" bloke who more often than not has profound mental illness or learning disabilities and is more of a danger to themselves than anyone else. No one is looking for the church deacon or factory worker
Truth. I went to school with the daughter of a serial killer, and whilst people generally thought of her dad as "strange" or "a bit off," etc., certainly nobody ever thought, "Hmm, I wonder if he's murdered more than a dozen people?"
And, FWIW, although this isn't an example of a murderer- there was a family on the street I grew up on in which the mother turned out to have been sexually abusing their child for many years...and these folks weren't merely seen as "normal," they were downright "pillar of the community" types!
It's terrifying, knowing that it's basically impossible to know...
We don’t get to see them at their point of murdering too, sometimes surviving victims have said they flip
Coroners say, these injuries had to have been inflicted in fits of extreme rage
Bundy lost it in court, flaring up like a demonic bird and I think it was the prosecution or judge that said, that’s how his victims would have seen him...Kemper was similar. So placid and submissive in front of men, yet he got triggered when speaking to a woman psychiatrist I think it was, or an author. Got triggered, started rearing up, and she felt that’s the Kemper his victims saw. It is very scary to think how these decent appearing people, have terrifying switches in them and are capable of causing great harm. Their fronts must really create a false sense of security
Even after hearing a spesific case many times, you always give a new perspective to it. You never dissapiont.
WoW Emma, I’ve seen lot’s of documentaries on this killer. But the amount of extra information you have is amazing, absolutely number one 👍 thanks ☺️
Watching with potato waffles, beans and a fried egg and with Emma Kenny it doesn't get much comfy and cosy than that 👍
I thought that I knew everything about this infamous case! Thank you for your great research & presentation & just being YOU Emma! 5⭐️ as always!
Gary Ridgeway is just the strangest guy. He seems so normal and chats away like its nothing. I'd like to see you discuss Ed Gein
He is on the way. Em xx
Ed Gein had schizophrenia. I'm more fascinated by serial killers without mental illnesses.
Women have been hated forever. It's so painful to carry the pain around of all those poor lives and feel it deep inside. Thanks for all you do, Emma. ❤️
I think Gary Ridgway showed remorse because being forgiven in the eyes of God helps him absolve himself. I don't think his tears were empathy for the victim/s or the father, only himself.
I love your content thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos.
I lived in San Diego while Ridgeway was in the Navy. There was a huge spike in murders of prostitutes, but the police never released any details of the victims. Then it just stopped. I’ve never heard of any follow up. Your work is exceptional. Thank you, Richard
Looking forward to this, one of his police interviews when he is asked about going back to the corpse and committing necrophilia. He is confused by the question, as though it's totally normal. Unbelievable, all the best Emma and everyone 👍❤️
Reminds me of Fred West thinking (as a youth) his treatment of his sister (SA) was what everyone did…
@@bibleartgiftsyorkshire4326 hope you are good bible, yes obviously their moral compass is that out of kilter these abhorrent actions feel like they are acceptable or in some cases the norm( but the elephant in the room.) Have a good night 👍
Anyone notice the picture with the kitten.
His hands around its throat
Yes!! Same thing with Dennis Rader & Russell Williams- they answer the questions with such a blasé, casual affect that it literally brought gooseflesh to my arms watching their confessions! Like you said, it's not merely evident that Ridgway et al find their own acts totally non-repugnant in their own minds...it's like they genuinely seem unable to even comprehend why or how *others* will almost invariably perceive their actions as nightmarishly, inhumanly obscene to an unimaginable degree! (Conversely, Jeffrey Dahmer repeatedly interjected his confession with such statements as, "This is going to seem so horrible," "you're going to think I'm a monster," etc., demonstrating at least *some* understanding that others would indeed see him as monstrous.)
IMHO at least- that casual, unbothered attitude can actually seem *more* horrifying than an unhinged, overtly violent and/or bloodthirsty one! To paraphrase one of Ridgeway's prosecutors: "He was so pleasant & polite I had to remind myself that, given the chance, he would strangle me and violate my corpse." I think her statement just about perfectly sums up *why* his unruffled affect is so chilling...perhaps especially to women.
All the best to you and everyone else, as well! Sorry I missed the chat- you were all so welcoming & lovely the time I joined in! Hope to be there next time...
@@christina82jones50 YES!!!
i would love to see you do the casey anthony case, be interesting to see what your views are
Ooooh, yes!
Yes!!
That'd be an interesting one! Still infuriates me how she got off. I was glued to that case & tuned into Courttv daily while it was going out. It dumbfounds me how she walked.
Please do a video on Charles Allbright "The Eyeball Killer". He kept eyes as trophies. I would love an analysis of his childhood and how obsessions start. Thanks. Love your videos. 💕
For me it's not important how many times and by who each case was covered.. You are always putting something new and interesting to this. There is no one else talking about cases like you. You're not only telling the story, for me you putting everything into new perspective. Xx
Fascinating… and perfect timing before the match. X
I’m binge watching after discovering your channel a couple of months ago. This was absolutely fantastic Emma, definitely one of my favourites so far. I’ve seen this covered a few times on t.v but you are SO compelling and bring so much more to the table. X
I'm really looking forward to your take and opinion on this case Emma! I've watched loads of videos on him, but I think yours is going to be the most interesting. You also add emotion and your own opinion in your cases which I really enjoy you doing. Other ones I've watched are just cold analysis of the case. I also love the way you're uploading twice a week now. I really look forward to your videos and they really help me take my mind off my problems and other things. Thank you so much Emma xx 🥰🥰
Emma is spoiling us! Almost a two-hour episode. ❤️
We love you Emma, you're awesome!
Best t-shirt yet btw🤘🇦🇺🤘
You could be talking about the manufacture of brown paper bags and we'd still listen hun, it's your telling and ability to draw your audience in that makes you so good at this.
I agree with you about Freud. I’ve yet to meet someone who wanted to have sex with their parents….. I think several aspects of psychoanalysis are applicable, such as defence mechanisms, for example….but Freud is just too weird! Insightful and impeccably researched videos, Emma. Thanks!
I don’t think Freud was correct the general public having sexual attraction towards their parents. I think HE felt that way and justified it by saying that EVERYONE felt that way. Nice try, weirdo!
I can’t even imagine having thoughts of attraction to your parents. I suppose it might be a symptom of a dysfunctional family dynamic.
Look how his grandson turned out!!!
Yeah.. Freud may have contributed to psychology and made some great points and theories but I really think the attraction to your parents thing is incredibly far fetched and strange
In Freud’s defense I think he had to exaggerate things because he was essentially inventing psychology-
Inventing the idea that not everything was on the surface.
And I think this is what he means by the Oedipus and Elektra complexes.
The desires and confusion is normally subconscious .
That doesn’t mean they don’t mean anything, but it does mean that in most (modern) societies
These feelings are going to remain below the surface. They are not going to be overt and
Acted on literally.
I see it all as a part of an acknowledgment of our animal / mammal origins.
Many mammals have “incest” (ever own gerbils?) and I think it’s highly likely that such behavior was engaged In in pre-moral human cultures just as one has to imagine that to survive some of our ancestors
ate human flesh despite modern civilization’s taboos on both of these behaviors.
I’m not arguing that we should engage in these things now.
It’s just that we should be aware that generations of these behaviors in our evolution
Can be contained now -but not entirely erased from within us.
Thank You for covering this case you were brilliant telling the story of this ferocious monster

Another 1st class video from the best crime story teller on UA-cam
I’ve been really poorly this week and genuinely watched your videos for 5 days straight while being laid up and I can’t stop! You are so good at what you do and how you read people. Honestly my favourite true crime channel
It blows my mind that he plead guilty to "only" 48 murders. If he's capable of that many lives, then he's capable of so many more
Emma - I've only recently started watching your channel, however I must compliment you on the detail you provide. Most of the subjects I have already heard about or watched the televised trials in some detail, however you always seem to provide a little bit more information that often goes unnoticed or unheard of.Thank you for your dedicated and thorough input. It doesn't go unnoticed x
Fantastic! Always look forward to watching True Crime every Wednesday and Sunday Emma 😊
Cracking content, as ever. Not many have the stomach to explore the depths of depravity as you do, and of those, even fewer can talk about it with such grace and compassion. Amazing work. I'd like to suggest Eddie Lee Sexton as a subject for a video. The case is not well known in the UK, so far as I'm aware, and is darker than midnight in a coal mine...
The man who runs the “Soft White Underbelly” channel often interviews sex workers in LA. It’s truly shocking how many believe that they have (in recent years & past decades) narrowly escaped serial killers!
They state that they have lost many friends in the same business, to serial killers & the police STILL don’t care! They may have stopped openly using the deplorable label of NHI “No Humans Involved” but cops in LA haven’t lost the attitude.
Thank you for covering this case!
You always add something different to the cases you cover and we love hearing your insights. ❤️
Yessssss,I watched practically everything about Gary but I still wanted to see your coverage because I know it will be different and very good,thanks Emma. 🖤🔥
Nooo! Missed the live chat! Which is especially frustrating, as I've (totally coincidentally!) found myself reading/watching everything I can find about Ridgway recently. I'd really been looking forward to an opportunity to bounce some questions off of this community...or even possibly Emma herself.
Oh, I'm kicking myself *so* hard right now, but also SO looking forward to the episode! Thanks again, Emma, for doing this. It's amazing and you're so very deeply appreciated!
Yes Emma, we are here for YOUR perspective on these cases.
YES! Thank you for calling them women, not prostitutes. The accountant example is so true and it infuriates me every time.
This was so prevalent during the Peter Sutcliffe/ Yorkshire Ripper killings. The police and media were so degrading towards the female victims who were prostitutes and even went so far as to talk about 'innocent victims' when Sutcliffe murdered an office worker.
Many of these women ended up in sex work due to poverty or having left an abusive husband and needed to support their children, they were not talked about with any kind of compassion. There was so much misogyny in that whole situation.
And it had a terrible effect on their children too, hearing their Mums being referred to in that way.
Men need a word to be called for using prostitutes
Emma, love your breakdowns of all these fascinating cases. Could you go deep on the childhood psychology of Luka Magnotta? Just finished watching the Netflix series but it doesn't cover why he turned out like that in the first place. Also can I request the Ken and Barbie killers to be covered too pleaaase? Thank you for your awesome work.
A lot of the cases you cover have been done by other true crimers but I like your perspective and it’s always good to cover them again anyway
😊❤️
You are awesome. Never doubt it. I would give my right arm to anywhere near as clever, thoughtful and insightful as you Emma. Keep the fath in you.
Hi Emma! Hoping you might consider covering the "Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs" this one has always stuck with me...Loving your work/this channel...
...Pantera!! Hell yes!
Glad to know I'm not the only one cheering for her shirt choices each episode, hah!
that is why I love and like Emmy,you are alway giving us extra details with empathy and sympathy for the victims and their families
You’re doing a great job with the channel, and it’s awesome. I also love that you are a Metalhead . Keep it up Emma I’m enjoying it
I’ve been watching all of your crime videos & as soon as I saw that this was about GLR - Green River Killer - my first thought was the guy who forgave him in the courtroom. That gentle man made such an impression on me that he’s the first person I think of when I think of forgiveness, Robert Rule. I’m glad GLR didn’t get the death sentence but I think he should have been sentenced to hard work! He got it too easy, way too easy! Thanks to Emma for putting these episodes together & sad to say this but I doubt you’ll ever run out of people to do episodes about!
You are just the gift that keeps on giving, Em!!
Fantastic as always. The highlight to my Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Thank you for bringing each and every crime story in so much depth to us. Xxx
OMG how awful for his poor wife she must have been devastated
My heart breaks for that poor woman. I hope she's had plenty of good support & therapy and has found some measure of healing in the past ~18 years! She sure deserves it!
Once again Emma you have done an amazing job covering this story. Mondays and Thursdays are my favourite days of the week, (As i live in Australia) once my twins are at school i can sit and watch with a cuppa coffee. Would love you to do one about Ivan milat one day please
please can you do Mitchell quy next? its a local case and he's up for parole so if you could cover it that would be amazing
Oh yes that was an awful story but I’m also interested
I hope he gets lots of special treatment in his jail, maybe the other inmates will allow him to have a glance into how Lindsay must have felt being abused by him, I bet he is not so fast to throw hands with men equal in size and strength.
He's up for parole?? Horrifying!

A very thorough telling of the story of Gary
You tell a story like an angel 😇 so clever and on the ball...! I could Liston to you voice all day..well done Emma your a one off special person..! Keep them coming x
Have you done a video on Luca Magnotta ? I would love to hear your thoughts on the horrific murder of Jun Lin.
That’s what’s so frightening. Serial killers tend to be absolutely normal. That’s why I assume everyone is a serial killer 😂
Emma you did it again ! And I agree with you about Freud definitely a strange individual. I like psychoanalysis but some of his theories are bizzare. Good Job on this case , covered many times but you always bring something to the table that sets you apart, precisely your personality .
This is a total long shot but any chance you’d do Bridget cleary from Ireland. It’s not one many people cover! I’d love to hear your take on it!
Oh my goodness! Now THAT would be fascinating!! (Have you read the book, "The Burning of Bridget Cleary?" If not, I highly recommend it!) What a profoundly tragic, confusing, bizarre case that one is...
@@maneckineckbeard1749 I love it! It was my first case as I’m near the area so that’s how i got into true crime! I just find no one does older cases anymore and they are some of the craziest

I live in Washington, about thirty minutes from Seattle. I grew up in the 80s and my parents would discuss Ted Bundy and who the Green River Killer was. Even so far from where the crimes occurred, people were terrified. No women would go out alone. It was crazy.
My father in law was convicted for possessing child abuse material and was a sex addict. He was a ‘pillar of the community’, super religious, upstanding citizen type. On the surface he seemed like a ‘nice guy’, yet I always felt slightly uncomfortable around him but didn’t know why.
Took them a long time to find this bloke!
Yes definitely!
What a great hour and a half. I have to say that I have seen quite a few programs about the 'delightful 'Gary Ridgeway but your telling of his story has been the only one that I couldn't take my eyes away from 🤓. The time that you have taken from your day to research this story totally shines through, leaving me with a much greater understanding of this man and the way his mind works to enable him to commit such heinous acts against humanity. The signs of empathy and understanding you showed towards these women who were not considered worthy members of the population by large groups of people not just the reprobate Gary Ridgeway bought tears of real 😢sorrow to my eyes. You really are an amazing story teller, because I am sure that I am not the only one watching who felt this way. I hope people 🙏do subscribe in their thousands because l know it will bring a big smile to your face 😊 and you deserve all of it 😘
Hi Emma! I’ve always loved the way you break down a cases and you are truly mesmerising to watch! You were always my favourite narrator on tv shows so I’m so happy you’re doing this!!! Well done!! Big fan here!!
No matter how many people put videos up on cases I love hearing other points. Especially now yours it brings things I have never heard or thought of. So please always consider it no matter many times cases spoken about.
By the way another amazing analysis 👏 x
EMMA THE FACT THAT THESE STORIES HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE MEANS NOTHING. DONT LET THAT PUT YOU OFF DOING THEM AGAIN. LIKE YOU I HAVE WATCHED THE GARY RIDGEWAY STORY MANY TIMES BY MANY VLOGGERS BUT I JUST FIND THAT YOU MAKE YOUR STORIES SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING. SO MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER VLOGGER. I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR TAKE ON ALL THESE STORIES EVEN THE OVER DONE ONES. YOUR WAY OF TELLING THESE STORIES AND THE QUIPS YOU PUT IN MAKE IT UNIQUE. I WOULD STILL RATHER WATCH YOUR VERSION THAN ANYONE ELSES. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOU CAN DO THE STORY EVEN IF ITS BEEN DONE 1000000X BEFORE. YOU ARE JUST MORE INTERESTING TO WATCH.

You did a really good job on this case. I know this case pretty well but listened to you present it until the very end.
Yes I've seen a fair few videos about this guy, but your insights are invaluable Emma !
Emma, I nearly fainted when you said he was fanatically religious!
I never expected that, and it's the 1st I have heard of it, even though I have seen many documentaries and a movie about him.
Episode suggestion, I would love to hear your perspective on the Chris Beniot Double Murder suicide from June 2007, if at all possible.
Kudos!! Emma. You have endless stamina and are a great orator. It's evident of the great amount of work you put into the presentation and is certainly well-formed and knowledgeable. Your channel is fabulous!💕👍✌🇻🇬
Yaayyyy!! My favourite UA-camr, back with some more top tier content! 🧚💚
No way I'm first! Interested to see what you have to say about this one. You always manage to give us some delicious little details that we haven't come across in other true crime resources. I love that about your channel! You think you know a case, and Emma comes along and gives you some tidbits of info you didn't even know existed! Still holding out for a show on Abel/Furlan or any other mission based killers.(Insert broken record sound HERE. 😄) I was also thinking that any content you could do on female family annihilators would be fantastic, too. (NOT women who killed their children because of PPD, like Andrea Yates.) You're the bees' knees, Emma. 🐝 Our adoration for you continues to grow. Cheers!
Female family annihilators are under-studied (for various reasons that I've read of) & certainly under-reported by true crime media in general. Excellent suggestion!
One of the best comments I’ve ever read …so much adoration! Emma deserves this kind of 💕 love !
It’s interesting that he chose strangulation because it was “more personal & rewarding” but he always did it from behind not looking into their faces. Many serial killers liked the power of watching life drain away. Some would allow their victims to revive & strangle them repeatedly but Ridgeway wanted it fast & clean…🤔
I k ew about this story but you have given us so many details that I had no idea about. I do enjoy your way of telling us the story of what happened. I’m so curious if you write down what you are going to cover or you just have this great memory and can remember every single detail of what you researched? I think it’s the latter. Anyways do enjoy what you do! Don’t ever stop please! 😊😊😊😊😊
I'd love your take on the highway of tears 😢❤️
I strangely had the same thing, and was really confounded by that. Pity for him, very strange when we know the horrendous things he's done. Maybe because he took responsibility & showed some emotion during his trial?
I find it fascinating that the police asked Ted Bundy to help them catch Gary.
and he was spot on saying he would return to the bodies
Another fascinating case, thank you Emma. I really appreciate hearing your input on what makes these people tick. Could you please take a peek at Jamie Osuna, would love to hear what you think!
I watched a Documentary on him years ago , absolutely horrific. I don’t know why I am so obsessed with crime documentaries. 5 years ago I found my self laying in bed watching one on UA-cam . I used to watch unsolved Mysteries when I was a kid and crime watch daily. Hooked on Emma version of crime , the way she tells a story , and gives a victim a true story and deep dive into all the characters lives gives me a better understanding why and how a killer becomes a murderer . I now look at a lot of people and think I bet that one’s a serial killer lol . But seriously I’m more aware of my surroundings now and what goes on in the real world .
YAY!! Got my snacks & I’m ready❣️❣️Emma Kenny’s Crime Time- highly intelligent & thoughtful analysis of heart wrenching crimes & incomprehensibly evil murderers 🥺🥺❤️🩹❤️🩹💐💐🙏🙏👑👑🤩🤩
