I sat throught this trial in the courtroom and the photos of the crime scene and her injuries were brutal. The fact that his DNA was under her fingernails was the deal breaker for me as a Retired NYPD Police Detective this case was solid no matter what some think. Thanks for covering this case.
The NYPD and that Precinct are known for planting evidence, this kid did not have a reason to commit this crime plus as a retired Officer answer this question, is it normal for a murder suspect to watch Cartoons for hours during a interrogation? Also being that he was mentally challenged it was clear he was coached during the interrogation. Not to mention that New York police swabbed hundreds of Black men, illegally used a private DNA lab, and then concealed their tactics.
@@Jitbo561 They got the right guy. There are facts about this case that have not been made public. I understand some folks having "reservations" about Chanel Lewis being guilty. If you knew all the details and heard all the evidence, you would change your mind.
@@savvy1856 Oh really and doesn't seem strange too 🤔 Cops got desperate and got the wrong guy everyone can see that. You don't let a killer watch Cartoons for hours unless you know he's mentally challenged and you can get him to admit to a crime he did not commit, furthermore during the interrogation he kept saying he wanted to go home which definitely indicates he was told that he would be going home at some point, Detectives don't tell Murderers that they will be going home, if he was admitting to a homicide that he committed why would he even think that he was going home? The whole interrogation was coerced and if you claim information wasn't released to the public I think it's past time to be released to kill any doubts until then FIND THE REAL KILLER!
@@Jitbo561 The real killer is right where he belongs. None of the nonsense you are spewing about cartoons and not going home have a damn thing to do with the physical evidence. Chanel Lewis' skin was found under her finger nails. Chanel Lewis told police he punched her and cracked her tooth, that was true. Know where that fragment of tooth ended up? In Chanel Lewis' hand. That was corroborated by a doctor at the hospital his father took him to after the incident. The father was the one who brought it up to the police. Chanel Lewis told the police exactly where her body was because he dragged it off the main trail in the weeds. Chanel Lewis described in detail where the puddle was that he dragged her through as he was dumping her body. Chanel Lewis described in detail what she was wearing. Described that she had a white cell phone in her hand when he encountered her. He admitted that she fought with him. Chanel Lewis was a known hater of females. He once asked a teacher in his school if he could bring a knife the next day so he could kill all the girls. He was (and is) a sick, violent monster who now resides in prison and will for the rest of his life. I hope they put him in a cell with the other rapists so he can get a taste too.
@@Jitbo561Of course you dont think he did it 😂 i am not surprised!
As a parents you never want to find your kids in this situation. I have two boys and if something happens to them I think I would go crazy. I hope the dad is doing okay.
I don’t have kids but I imagine I’d be a wreck. I don’t know how anyone deals with this kind of loss
I felt it in my soul when you were describing that poor father
you should watch the JCS video on this. It’s in his patreon. It has video and interviews with his parents and more on the victim.
I'm a man and a runner, and I'm not the type to be scared, however, I would not go jogging on that trail alone in the evening. I would not go jogging here in the evening on the trail here either.
“He just wanted to hug his daughter one last time..” I’m sobbing
Same. It made me tear up reading his description of finding her
@@RachelShannonare you telling me that someone with no history of mental illnesses just wakes up and decides to brutally kill a girl?THERES CORRUPTION,wake up Shannon your Not stupid
A daughter that he found at night and in an area dense with weeds taller than an average man….what are the chances!?!?
@@LiveAtTheOMNIPretty friggen good considering he jogged the same route with her every day, and knew the last cellphone ping was 15 feet from the path. Let’s not forget that this is someone who responded to crime scenes most of his life. He’s a first responder. Doy.
@@LiveAtTheOMNIAlso, if my daughter was the size of a needle and someone told me that she was indeed inside of a haystack, you’d bet your ass I’m finding her, no matter how long it took.
There have been so many stories of women being killed while running alone. We should be able to go for a jog and not be murdered. I’m taking my German Shepherd with me from now one.
yes true, its such a basic human right but not for females , love your name !
@@nikkimclay5474 Running in areas known to have homeless, addicts and criminals is not a good idea - even for grown men. I'll never understand why some people think they are untouchable in those areas.
@@mongoose6685 I dont get why you responded to me ? I live in New Zealand, we can run safely also your stereotypes of homeless & addicts is disgusting
It's saddening
Take a gun or a stun gun... These Psychopaths will stop at nothing to harm you! We need to protect ourselves ❤️🙏❤️🙏
In my opinion he is guilty! too much evidence ... not embarrassed to kill poor girl but embarrassed to admit the horrible rape... poor family of the girl may she rest in peace 🙏 great video Rachel
I grew up in Ozone/Howard and spent countless days running at the local park or along the Belt Parkway up until I moved 10 years ago. I still run there when I go back to visit my dad. This case shook me. And the weeds always freaked me out. Honestly, in the 30+ years I lived there, I never stepped foot in the weeds. It's just so sad that she was taken from her family like that. R.I.P. K.V.
emah104: VERY few residents of Howard Beach run in those weeds. You could probably count them on ONE hand. Definitely less now after this tragic incident. What happened to Karina Vetrano was a tragedy that never should have happened. May she rest in eternal peace!
He seems to have definitely done something to her as he knows too much about the injuries; it's theoretically possible other ppl might have came across her and also harmed/interfered with the body but hard to say.
Good point
@@RachelShannon No, it's not. We aren't talking about a heavily trafficked area here where folks are walking all over the place. Spring Creek park is desolate and it's NOT an actual park. It's weeds. Weeds that grow to over 10 feet high and is full of bugs and other critters. 95% of the residents of Howard Beach haven't even been in the weeds. Nobody did anything to the body in the short amount of time she was dead in those weeds. You might understand better if you had ever been there.
@@savvy1856but this random kid just walks over there in a rich area ?? With nothing to do?? Do you see how you are a moron?
How would he have known her tooth was chipped if he wasn’t at the crime scene…?
@simmons3: If you read the comments of some of the morons on these boards it'll make you just as stupid as they are. It's almost contagious. "He's too dumb to kill her" happens to be my personal favorite!
That’s where my ears perked up. I’m curious to know if they told them that, or if it was in the media where he could have read it.
This is such a tragic case. I can’t imagine the pain her parents have and still endure. I do believe the right person was convicted. I don’t think evidence was planted.
Great work Rachel.
Congrats on reaching 100K 🎉 you very much deserve this honor and many more!!
Rachel! I'm so excited for you to reach 100k any minute now! Been following and watching your content for a while and you are clearly passionate about what you do, and that authenticity is why I keep coming back 💖
She's at 100k!🥳
@@KEliza23 Yay!!!!
amazing how shes also a qualified doctor as well !
@@nikkimclay5474 she's a Dr? What type of medicine does she practice in, or do you know?
@@JesusDisciple916 yes she is & paediatrics
5 hits took 5 mins! 🤔 he hit her more times than that. He knew her tooth broke! Absolutely no emotion from this piece of crap. All because he was in a bad mood! Deserves everything he gets sentencing and whilst in jail!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
@Miss O'Reilly I agree with you 100% he knew too much details about the murder!!! Almost every parent is going to believe their child is not capable of doing something like this!!! But again he knew too much details!!!!
Phil deserves happiness for life after what he experienced. No one should see someone like that but a parent seeing their child like that? must be hell.
Karina fought so hard and i hope she is living peacefully in heaven looking down on her family, especially her father
Rachel , sweetheart you are an amazing story teller , wish you so much more subscribers , you deserve it a 100*/* !!!
I am so sorry to the father and to her pretty daughter. It's very hurtful to any parents seeing you're child like that. I just hope that they didn't interrogate him because of hugging his daughter, it just added pain to him.
Agreed. I hate when people say the dad is sus, when all he did was lose his daughter
@@RachelShannonhe had
ties with mafia. She was a sacrifice for his existence i think
@@RachelShannonthe father knows CHANEL LEWIS DIDNT KILL HIS DAUGHTER
@hamedhosseini4938 I'm not a Mafia expert but I never heard of making family sacrifices for any reason
I live in the area at the time. The killer’s family and some activists tried to turn this into a racial case.
Howard Beach is a very old school, Italian neighborhood. It’s mostly quiet, conservative and close knit.
East New York, where the killer is from, is right next to it but the complete opposite (mostly black, lots of housing projects, a busy mall, etc). The 2 neighborhoods are only separated by the Belt Parkway.
These “activists” were claiming the NYPD was just trying to pin this on any random black man and racially profiled Chanel because he was roaming around Howard Beach, had a learning disability, etc.
Reality is he was indeed roaming, had no business going into people’s driveways, whether he was black, white or purple. So yes, he stood out and the cops went after him to investigate further. He voluntarily gave his DNA and confessed.
He is exactly where he should be.
RIP, Karina. May her family find peace. ❤
Crying "racism" is a BS cop out. I'm absolutely sick of it. Too many criminals are being allowed to roam the streets because the cops and judges are afraid to treat a criminal like a criminal because of possible race riots.
Right. The police also put his DNA under her nail. It's disgusting how they always try to play the race card. Also, the local authorities should have dealt with that area, cut the weeds down, etc. There was no need for this tragedy to happen for them to take action.
Even if he did have a learning disability, I don't see that an excuse to m*rder someone. I have ADHD, GAD, MDD, C-PTSD and Auditory processing disorder. Will I attack a random person as revenge to all the abuse I lived at the hands of former male partners??? No. It makes me want to help people, rather than harm them.
How does ANYONE think he’s innocent after that confession?! I’m so confused. Still haven’t finished the video yet tho.
What confession????? The police confession? This is OBVIOUSLY scripted and the police are prompting him what to say! Come on people … y’all can’t be that dumb!
And the criminals suspects lawyer is sleazy and will say anything to twist things around and will do anything and say anything for money. You may as well call Saul Goodman from better call Saul.
Rachel is the true crime queen of you tube..much love to ya Rachel keep it up
As thank you!
Happy 100k! Thanks for the great videos, Rachel.
Thanks for sharing this story Rachel.💕
Thank you for watching!
Just found her today. She seems super cool x
Congrats for the 100K subs!! Love your channel, and you nailed it with your hair color!!!
Wow! Talk about leading questions from that detective! Seems so rehearsed. Good thing for DNA technology! This case could have been thrown out of court!
So true!
Thanks for covering this case❤
Rachel congratulations on 100,000 subscribers 👏. I always looked forward to that.
Thank you so much! It’s very exciting :)
The iced tea bottle at the scene could've been in those weeds before the crime ever took place. And the hand in the photo of the hand injury could possibly not be his, but what does that matter when it's been confirmed he DID actually have a hand injury? Also, is the defense saying his hand wasn't injured, or that it was too injured for him to drag her? Which is it?
Exactly my thoughts with the hand injury. And I also agree about the bottle- it seems like a red herring. That bottle easily could have been there beforehand.
Defense will say anything .. they defend the most evil people on the planet and DNA doesn't lie
RSZ229: This man gave details about the scene, what she looked like, what she was wearing, where he dragged her to and best of all admitted that he punched her in the mouth. The autopsy showed she had a broken tooth. Know where the missing part of that tooth ended up? In Chanel Lewis' hand!!! The right man is in jail folks. Stop worrying.
Yay to 100k! You work so hard
Honestly, I think he did it. Too much evidence and circumstance. Why would you admit to murder in so much detail the way he did. He knew every detail. What a sad sad case. I feel so heartbroken for her father. Thanks for all the new uploads! ❤
He knew what the public already knew. If you listen to his confession, it was a TON of I don't knows, and maybes. And then the leading questions definitely helped. I'm not saying he didn't do it, I truly am torn by this one.. but legally, I think the cops messed up and it shouldn't have been able to be used.
I definitely see how someone would confess to something they didn’t do- it happens all the time. But I agree- with all of the evidence coupled with the confession, I personally think he’s responsible
@@RachelShannon I can see where he'd be guilty for sure! But what's the most concerning.... The fact that there could have been someone else involved. 🤔 I hope to God there isn't a second monster, still roaming free!
Oh I Believe He Did it
I agree
Hi Rachel your a Great UA-camr and You do a Good Job on telling these true crime stories
Thank you!
Can this detective lead him anymore ??? I'm sorry to the family of this beautiful young lady for their loss.. but, this confession seems so rehearsed its terrible.. if he's guilty I'm glad he's caught .. but , what if he's innocent ? The real killer is still out there and this guy took the fall ... imo...
She had his dna under her nails, how do you explain that.
@@susiefoxy8130 it wouldn't be the first time grimey cops planted evidence. Sad
Like OJ Simpson?
Try to use your brain just a little bit… he was the one who mentioned all the evidence of the actual murder! Not the cop. Listen carefully.
Congrats on 100k Rachel 🥳 🎉 🎈
Thank you so much! ♥️
🥳Congrats on reaching 100k. Been subbed when you only had a few💁🏽♀️Glad to see your channel grow🤗
Thank you so much! And especially for sticking with me ♥️♥️
If it was blood DNA evidence from his knuckle injury, I would say he's probably guilty, because when blood is drawn into a vial, there is some chemical in the vial, that keeps it from coagulating, and there are traces of that chemical in the blood.. so it makes it much harder to plant blood DNA evidence..
Why would someone try to frame him anyway lol he’s kinda a nobody
monoxidewindego: The DNA evidence used to convict Chanel Lewis was not blood from his knuckle. The knuckle injury he sustained by punching her in the tooth occurred on August 2nd, 2016. The police didn't begin questioning Chanel Lewis until February 2nd, 2017. That injury would have been long since healed. Karina Vetrano fought very hard for her life and scratched Chanel Lewis multiple times. His skin was under her fingernails. Because she fought for her life so valiantly, Chanel Lewis was brought to justice!
i'm pretty sure he did it - but man, the amount of leading questions in that interview, talk about confirmation bias.
Exactly. I think he did it… but that interview isn’t good
GIRL - the amount you’ve been uploading! bless u 🤍
Exact thought lol
hi Rachel !! excited to watch💜
Hey there!
Guilty as charged, ty Rachel
Congrats for reaching 100k Followers!You deserve it ;)
Thank you so much!
And no one finds it odd that detective Russo all of a sudden a very long time later remembered a very important detail. Huge red flag there.
Sounds 🐠 y
Harry’s shave gel is actually off the chain!!! 😊
It makes me smile as I think of a massive and strong inmate with nothing to lose, who's having "a bad day".. take his anger out on this pathric coward in the same exact way. That would be justice
Exactly. Eye for an eye.
He was mad at his neighbor. Good fight the neighbor. Oh wait is your neighbor a man? DAMN COWARD BEATING ON AN INNOCENT WOMAN. So sad😢
Congrats on 100k 🎉🥂🍾
Thank you so much ♥️
Awe, she's absolutely gorgeous! I hope she's at peace and that her loved ones get closure. It's a shame that such awful things happen to people 😔 😞 💔, and leave their friends and families with such vile and horrific "memories" of cruelly either having to read the autopsy reports or court proceeding reenactments, confessions, etc.
I can't even imagine what a nightmare going through such a thing must be. Some people are dealt such an unfair hand.
I have 5 living daughters and, sadly, lost 1 before she was born. Sometimes I feel so scared that because I have so many, it may increase the likelihood something horrificly tragic is going to happen to 1 of them. I get so worried that sometimes I almost hope I won't live too long because I know there's no way I could handle it if someone hurt 1 of them. I know it's irrational to feel that way but sometimes I can't help it...we don't get to choose our intrusive thoughts.
My heart goes out to anyone who has been a victim, survivor, or relative/friend of violent crime. I wish everyone who reads this love 💘, hugs 🫂, ladybugs 🐞, and pugs 🐖(closest animal).
@April I am the opposite of you in my reality, but I can definitely understand your trepidation. I, unlike you, have no children, and I have thanked God many times that I do not have that worry. I know the stress would have sent me to an early grave, worrying about circumstances which are out of our mortal control. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind and loving comment, it brought tears to my eyes. Wishing you and your family all the best ❤❤❤
100k!!!!!! Rachel you did it!!!!!

What a Sicko, He is so guilty it came out of his own mouth, I hope he never sees the light of day again. Keep up the great work Beautiful I love your channel I found it today!!!
Guilty as charged! He confessed clear as day and recounted everything to the detectives. It’s really sad how someone can confess and then plead not guilty.. shame on him!
Yep. The cops didn't tell him what she was wearing.
@@annehedonia156 the news did
Ur wrong n narrow minded
@@Clarividentedulcemaria Okay, thanks. Still, DNA doesn't lie.
@@Clarividentedulcemaria rather than take your word for it, I’m going to research myself because I don’t recall Rachel mentioning in the video about the media leaking the specific details of what clothes she was wearing. They showed the location of where it happened and gave a basic description of the condition of how her body was found. Why would they include a description of what she was wearing unless she was a missing person or a Jane Doe? I’ve never heard or read any story covered by the media about a murdered person and giving a description of what said person was wearing unless they are (as already stated) a Jane Doe case because it would be completely irrelevant.
I honestly find the confession being false to be plausible. Seems like he has developmental issues and they really should not have been able to question him alone; he also uses some weird language like her top was "intact" and there was another instance I am forgetting. The DNA thing is a big deal though.
They read him his rights and what he can do. He could have asked for a lawyer or someone to come in. They gave him that chance and during the interview as well. He chose not too. I was kinda side eyeing how he spoke too. If it wasn’t for dna evidence and him saying somethings the media didn’t know only police and the killer would I would be like he’s innocent.
many extreme cases are committe by people with low IQ or really high IQ. My sisters friend had stepson who was mentally well ... and she had to commit him when he got to his teens, he attacked other children and even mom also the attacks were sxully motivated. They might have undeveloped mind but body of an adult.

Good Afternoon Rachel.ive Not Heard of this case
Are you suprised?
@@gronofilmy8538 Nope Not At All
If this Forest Gump impersonator googled "familial DNA" in between reading about the case, showed no negative emotions during the interrogation (fear or anger), he is not as slow as he sounds and he is not a hapless victim being bullied into confessing...
You mean the same company her parents are invested in lol
I would love to see your coverage of Athena Brownfield thank you for the amazing coverage
she said to put requests in via her official request form !
The confession sounds coersed to me. The suspect seems to be hunting to find the answer the detective wants. It's almost as if he is looking for approval each time he gives an answer.
Looking at it how you perceive it… I can totally see it with the “ok” “alright”… he just seems like an odd person and he is telling it…Easily. Looks to me like he told it once and this was a light version after knowing he is being videoed.
MaccaBased: What you are seeing is a young man with mental health issues. A man that had a history of hatred towards women. Some that were family members and some that were strangers. He once asked a teacher at his school if he could bring a knife to school the next day. The teacher asked "why?" He said, "because I want to kill all the girls." Just because he has diminished intelligence doesn't mean he can't kill someone and be violent. The reason he was in "the weeds" that day is because he had an argument at home with female family members and he went there as an escape, which he did quite often according to what he told detectives. The right man is in jail.
my alarm bells went off as soon as that detective claims to 7-8months later "remembers" sth very specific and then "happens" to find the right guy to charged for the crime. i wouldn't be surprised if this guy would've framed, however odd he comes off in the initial confession... he's continuously being fed the information and the answers the detective wants him to say. the only part he says on his own accord is that he was in the park that day.
@@dvstcod Your comments are all made with an absence of knowledge of factual evidence in the case. You DID NOT see the entire interrogation. In the FULL interrogation Chanel Lewis made comments and admitted to facts only someone at the scene would have personal knowledge of. For example: He knew that she was dragged from a well-worn path in the weeds (or a trail) and hidden in higher weeds to keep her out of sight. He knew there was a large puddle in the vicinity where he encountered her and what the shape of that puddle was. He knew specific details as to the clothing she was wearing. He knew she was carrying a white cell phone. He told detectives he punched her in the mouth (Karina suffered a chipped front tooth) - and the next day when his father took him to the hospital to treat injuries to his hand, the doctor removed that portion of Karina's tooth from Chanel Lewis' hand. The doctor did not know exactly what it was at the time but corroborated subsequently that it was very likely a piece of human tooth. There was HUMAN SKIN under Karina's nails at the autopsy! How could they have planted Chanel Lewis' SKIN under her nails when they didn't find him until MONTHS LATER?
@@dvstcod Not sure how familiar you are with police investigations but it's not "out of the ordinary" for killers to be caught because of the excellent instincts of officers & detectives. Chanel Lewis was a frequent flyer in Howard Beach and he was summonsed on NUMEROUS occasions for trespassing when he was found in the backyard of more than one home in Howard Beach in possession of a crowbar. If a strange man was in YOUR BACK YARD with a crowbar, I guarantee that would raise your suspicion level through the roof! Especially when that person is wearing long pants, a long sleeve jacket and a wool hat (all black clothing) in the middle of the summer and it's 80's degrees out! Let's PLEASE stop pretending that this guy was framed. The evidence is OVERWHELMING and only folks that don't want it to be him refute that. Chanel Lewis is where he should be.
Thanks for sharing and giving insight. In the end it became more about him than the victim- beautiful soul (Karina) hat lost her life?
I think it’s about remembering Karina, but also the outcome of what happened to her, which heavily (obviously) involved him. You really don’t have much of a crime to discuss (hence, true crime) if you solely focus on the victim. It would be more of an “in memory” channel. I think she did a wonderful job!
@@lace1245 I get that. It’s frustrating.
100K subs!!!! Yayyyyy!
Thank you!!
100K?! Awesome ❤
Thank you! :)
I lived on 86 street the father lived on 84th St. he had a police car in front of his house for a whole year I saw it every day why would he need to be protected? I don’t think Chanel was going to kill her father.From what I was told a source that knows someone in the 106 precinct, this girl was brutally beaten it seems like 2 people were involved.I don’t know what the father did but I heard he owed the Russian mafia money.He used to jog with his daughter every time but that day he didn’t so they killed her to send a message somehow he found her first.I went to see her memorial, and as I was leaving Phil was going there he visits her memorial every day i’m wondering if he has any guilt.
He definitely has guilt as you said there were over 100 people looking for her and he knew her exact location he should have been investigated
Sounds 🐠 y
An NYPD detective called 911 to report a suspicious person….make it make sense!
It doesn't, The Father has close ties to the NYPD
Sounds 🐠 y
That man did not do it
How is it racist! Wow!
This one made Me cry. I watch true crime heaps and feel kinda bad in saying not every case gets Me fully emotional, often I just concentrate on the facts and evidence. This one made Me cry buckets. I just want to wrap My girls up in My arms and never let them go!
me too, especially the dad finding her, being a daddys girl myself I know how strong that bond is
Noooo, I was really hoping that her dad wouldn't be the one to find her 💔💔
He knew straight away without thinking that it was 5 o’clock
I FIND IT QUITE INTERESTING THAT ALL THE FORMER NYPD DETECTIVES THAT ARE HAVE MADE COMMENTS HAVE YET TO REVEAL HOW THEY KNOW HOW THE EVIDENCE WAS OVERWHELMING WHEN THE COURT DOCUMENTS AND EVIDENCE HAS NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC
This is what we call a "coach interrogation ", it's bullshit
Thank you for putting out such great content! I have been in and out of the hospital since New Year’s Eve facing an MS diagnosis at 40.

If I had a dollar for Everytime you said "He said that...." 😂. But love you and thank you for telling this beautiful young lady's story.
I think he's guilty, but if I were on the jury, I would've voted not guilty because there is plenty reasonable doubt.
That’s a really good point. I don’t know what I would have thought
Depends if it was your daughter, I’ve told my daughter to scratch the hell out of anyone who ever attacks her, his dna under her nails says it all
wasn't his dna under her nails ?
My heart goes out to her family 💔🙏
It’s a shame you can’t even exercise and stay safe
This beautiful girl ❤may she rest in heaven
It’s truly devastating 💔
Exactly. Women just pretend they are really free. We always have to be aware and cautious of our surroundings. If you try to explain it to most men, you will find they have no real experience with the fears we live with.

I completely believe in racism bias, esp in law enforcement... however, it is a waste of time and resources to abuse this very real phenomenon every time a CLEARLY guilty black man's defense has no other strategy. Not to mention, it is a slap in the face of TRUE victims of racial bias in the court system.
Yeah. When his lawyers mentioned that I was like so we are going to ignore dna under her finger nails and other dna that was also his. Like why would his dna be on her or anything of hers when they don’t know each other. For me this wasn’t racism at all from police. This just makes victims of true racial bias look bad when it’s not there fault. Out of everything his lawyers could do they had to throw that one in.
I think he's absolutely guilty. I think the whole thing he said about thinking it was his lawyer he was talking to is just a lie, the prosecuting attorney clearly stated that he could request a lawyer at any point. I do agree that the investigation is questionable when it comes to the racial issues. But I do believe the right man has been charged with this horrific murder. Thank you for covering this case Rachel, it's one I'd never heard of. What a sad case. Rest in peace to Karina, it sounds like she was a lovely person. And I hope getting justice has at least given her family some closure, and I wish them all the best and truly feel for them.
Great job as always, Rachel! You're always so respectful to the victims, and you very obviously do extensive research which I appreciate. Have a lovely day!
I can agree about the phonecall potentially being racially bias, but the phenotyping, not so much. I get what she's saying "why did they decide to persue the black dna on the body"... well, because its the only dna they had. The killer coukd have been a white guy and the dna they were analyzing was just a coincidence... but i. That case, collecting the white killers dna still woukdnt have meant anything since they didnt find andly on the body to compare. Police have limited resources, and alot of people to cOmb through, the first round is always gonna be narrowed down as much as you can just to conserve resources, then expanded later if they dont recieve a result. You wouldnt call it sexist that the police didnt ask for women to give their dna just in case the killer was a woman with androgen insensitivity. Even finding a DNA match only proves that so.eone was somehow in contact with the victim. They knew she was in contact with a black male, they looked for a black male. He could have been her boyfriend, he could have been her cab driver, he coukd have been her fitness trainer. Dna doesnt tell you that, the rest of the evidence does, so, no, i dont think starting the search looking for a black man based on phenotyping is racial profiling in and of itself.
Why do they confess to the murder but never to the SA? Like that makes them look worse? Kinda impossible to look worse after what he did to her for just jogging alone
Exactly. I think he just didn’t want to look as bad with confessing to the rape as well
jenn6764: So you want a guy who is clearly mentally ill to say and do things that make complete sense to normal people? This is not common sense.
This poor woman lived every parent’s and woman’s worst nightmare. 😢
She was a pretty girl it is heartbreaking that this awful crime happened to this beautiful girl 😢😭💔
So sad😪
200% agree with everything you said. Guilty but sketchy process.
Truly sad and heartbreaking case, gives me shivers because August 2nd is my birthday.
The way supporters who said that he is innocent was so stupid
The defense is soooo nuts…😂
Dammmmm sad story crazy how small the world is that it all connected to one person great job police and family
So sad
Is it possible he did leave her on her back but she tried to roll over and crawl. Explains why she had a handful of grass and being too weak and injured to pull her arm from under herself. Ugh this is terrible terrible
Explain how the NYPD were originally looking for 2 Jacked up White males? She looked like she was in great shape, chanel was Fragile, skinny I'm sure she could have man handled him, Someone else did this to her.
Imo, it's not racial profiling if they know the race of the man by phenotyping. That's doing an efficient investigation based on known facts.
Rachel, by putting "Killer claims innocence" in bold letters adds to the racial divide, a left-wing attempt to use a monster who brutalized a young woman as a means to further divide. Would Rachel have used this same rhetoric had the victim been a black female jogger? I didn't think so either.
I don’t know if anyone noticed but at the beginning of the conversation they asked the gentleman what time he got to the park and he said around 5. However at the 36 min mark he said around 1 or 2
It seems to me like they for sure have the wrong guy. Way too much there to honestly believe he is guilty. Shame on them. I'm sorry for the family, but truthfully, I think they've coerced this guy into a false confession.
@Mynameismvd: Please explain all your reservations about this man's guilt. How did you reach this conclusion?
Ugh this poor girl...💔
She was so beautiful. This case is wild I think he is guilty.
I think there is too much here to say otherwise. I agree- I think he is responsible.
I really don't know how to feel about this case! Ugh I usually have such strong feelings on cases, but this one I just don't and it irks Me lol. I do feel like the 'confession' was very.. blah. Like he just gave them the bare minimum answers, and a ton of I don't knows. And the cop was asking the most leading questions I have ever heard .. I feel like legally, they should have thrown it all out because of it all.
Agreed- I hated all the leading questions. But I personally think there was a lot of other evidence that pointed to him. If we didn’t have that evidence, I agree. I wouldn’t take the confession alone
The cop was definitely leading him. For sure!
Cops plant evidence ALL THE TIME!!!!! Something is SOOOOOO wrong about this case and conviction.
Dna doesn’t lie.. he’s guilty Plain and simple
His DNA was under her nails. Explain that
He did it. He mentioned that he broke her front tooth to the investigators. It wasn’t mention before,that I noticed.
@mythoughtsnotyours.8140: And do you know where that piece of her tooth ended up? Wedged in Chanel Lewis' hand! That fact was corroborated by a doctor his father took him to see after the incident occurred.
@@savvy1856you making stuff up you clearly racist dude lol how pathetic
He said he said he said he said
It is so annoying when she does that!! 😭😂
This made me feel sick
What a beautiful young lady. I’m just sad that she was taken from this earth so sudden. I’m no detective but my gut is telling me that kid had nothing to do with this murder. Something just isn’t right.
Something feels off
Aww this case 💔💔💔💔💔💔 my heart 😭.
Same here 💔
