I'm 59 now but I've always held the motto that "if you go out together, you go home together" - for safety reasons. So sad and tragic that this happened to Libby and it has, unfortunately, happened to others in similar circumstances.
Well, In the 70s when we were out at parties etc, if a girl wanted to go home, there was no question, two or three of us would walk them home. It saddens me how young women are left to walk home late at night alone these days.
i was wondering the same. despite the fact she was telling numerous ppl that she was ok and needed no help. it's better to call police/ambulance and have them assess the person than to just expect they'll be ok. a very sad story. Predators come in all shapes and sizes.... love and light to Libby's family and friends ❤❤❤
It's better to call police in these cases. Ambulances are intended for medical emergencies, so unless the person is unconcious or injured, call the police. They will take her to the "drunk tank" to sober up.
@@thatcatsis485 I agree in principal with your observation. However, a person lying in the snow at night would prompt me to think of someone being ill. How ill? Hard to say unless you are a health care professional. Even if smelling alcohol on them, alcohol poisoning can be life threatening. Better to be safe than sorry. Here in Canada we have tiered responses where calling police can trigger ambulance and fire depending on the circumstances. ❤️ from 🇨🇦
That is England for ya they never want to get involved for fear of being sued because yes you can be sued in England for helping someone in distress, and believe it or not by the same person in distress! SMH!!!
The detectives who review and decipher the cc tv are like super human. I can’t make out a single thing in those videos. There’s a road and what could possibly be headlights… I mean it’s really incredible work these folks do.
@@RedheadLondonthey can only tell because they essentially followed HER every move, or as much as possible, via the cameras, starting back at the club. And then saw the interaction with the perpetrator, when he approached her. It’s like putting puzzle pieces together. If they can find a solid starting point, where you can clearly identify the person you’re looking for in a frame, you can work backwards and forwards to follow their path of movement. Harder to do if you have no idea where you’re even looking for a person, and trying to identify an individual in a sea of people on the CCTV. I think it’s just as crazy to watch them identify a specific type of car when there’s no visual of a plate and an unclear video, just by analyzing things like how the headlights or brake lights show up in the video, etc.
@@Free420Love I suppose they followed the matchstick person step by step, and ASSUMED it was her, but you can't tell by those images who the person really was. With Sarah Everard, if it wasn't for his car number, they might not have got him either. She was wearing the yellow hat and checked trousers, so it made her stand out a bit on the dash cam. Imagine how many crimes would go unsolved if not for cameras and DNA.
@@RedheadLondon for sure CCTV has been a huge help - wish we had more of it in the U.S., it’s nonexistent in too many places where a lot of criminal activity happens. But in this case, they knew who it was because they saw the interaction outside the club with her, it was clearly her, her friends corroborated that, and then they picked her right back up near her house at the same time she would have been dropped off, and there was no one else around at that time. It wasn’t perfect evidence, but it was clear that it was her. In this case. It can definitely be very hard in others. We’re constantly advancing in technology, though, so, hopefully better and MORE cameras will be available in the future. There would definitely be a LOT more unsolved/cold cases over the last two decades if it wasn’t for the CCTC & personal security systems combined. Imagine if they would have been around 20+ years earlier than they started being used, when the majority of the prolific serial killers were at work in the 70s - mid-90s. Good point about the distinct clothing. I actually used to tell my girlfriends whom I knew walked home at night by themselves, usually after work, to wear a BRIGHT, visible article of clothing as they walked, in case something happened to them, because it stands out, and that might be THE only thing that someone remembers if police are asking about information related to an attack, assault, disappearance, etc, and could lead to recalling helpful information if they can recall seeing the victim that was wearing something memorable. Made more than a few friends brightly colored knit hats to wear for walking home in the winter over the years, after being attacked myself. Sad to think we all NEED to do that “just in case”, but it’s an easy way to potentially help yourself if you find yourself in a bad situation.
My gosh what a sick monster! Poor Libby , hearing her mom say “she had a huge fear of water and wasn’t a strong swimmer” , breaks my heart. This case is truly sad!
our governments opened up the doors to these monsters,let alone the thousands that crossed the channel either gone missing on arrival or staying in hotels and allowed to walk the streets as and when they please,the streets are a very unsafe place for women
It always makes me wonder if these fears we have (when it’s not because of a traumatic incident in their current life) I mean when they don’t know why, makes me think if it’s possible that in a past life something like this happened to us. Just an interesting thought.
@SassySam yes white men still commit sex crimes against women but,the fact still remains that more sex attacks on young women are caused by people of a different ethnic background despite being in a much smaller group of the population! have you not heard about the grooming gangs that have been a scourge across our country? maybe you should make your daughter aware that?
The escalation in this case is frightening. I see a lot of people blaming Libby's friends but I can't help but think if it hadn't been Libby, it would have been someone else. He was clearly stalking the streets in search of a victim. He is the only one to blame here. And, I hope he never sees the light of day again Rip Libby 💜
They’ll probably be battling their own demons for letting her go home alone. When I waa younger, if one of us was too drunk, we’d either all leave or make sure we took the drunk one home then headed back out.
Yeah. I don't think people who blame her friends have ever been young, had a few drinks and been ready to party themselves. My friends and I took care of each other to a certain extent, but we didn't babysit each other. If someone didn't want to go home with us when the night was over, we didn't have the right to force them into a taxi and kidnap them to get them home. They were legal adults, so we had no say. This was a group of tipsy people who put her in a taxi, gave the driver money and has every reason to believe that she would get home safe. And she actually DID get home safely, but she decided to wander off after that. She would probably have done that even if someone had followed her home. But a lot of people writing comments on UA-cam can't comprehend that something bad can possibly happen to anyone they have spent time with, even after they have separated. This is an extremely sad case, but it didn't happen because of anything her friends did or didn't do. It happened because she decided to go for a walk AFTER she got home safely, and had the unbelievably bad luck to cross paths with this psychopath. HE is the only one to blame here.
@@user-db9ed9je2j but in their defence, she did get home safely, they paid for her taxi and she arrived home but she went back out... Likely she would have done that when her friends went back to the club. It's just extremely unfortunate a psychopath was stalking the exact street she found herself wandering. It's so tragic but no one's fault other than the perpetrator.
The fact that this monster had everyone close to him fooled - his wife, his mother, his co-workers. None of them knew him for who he actually was and it’s sickening. My heart goes out to Libby’s family and friends, I can only imagine the pain they are going through. Rest in Peace, Libby 🤍
You know what I realized. And it's the reason your content is so top-notch. A lot of YT TC stuff is about murder but focuses on grizly facts and doesn't show (enough) human empathy for the victims. And other times, it's the reverse. But you manage to show empathy and explain the evidence, crime, etc, in a real, researched way. I think you're the best at this, basically.
I agree. It's so nice and thoughtful that the attention is put on the victim and the victim's family and friends. This is one of four UA-cam channels that make sure attention is brought to the right people. Nice change of pace instead of it always being about the crime and who perpetrated it. Edited: For grammar.
I’ve done the same walk from Welly blackout drunk with my equally drunk friends. I was very lucky nothing that bad ever happened. I went to uni here and still live there. I live near the memorial, and this case will haunt Hull forever. The amount of campaigning and interviews her mum has done since is a lot, she’s a very brave woman! She even requested to meet her daughters killer in prison but the coward refused 😡
What a weasel he is to disrespect her mom on top of what he has done, makes you wish you lived in Texas. They don’t fool around there, you take a life, they take yours.
Because he wants to keep the illusion of power. Meanwhile, he's ridiculously pathetic, a lame creep who had an entire family but chose to creep, expose himself, harass women who didn't want him, and take the life of someone who was likely worth 10 of him. All he does is remind people that the better person was taken and the world was left with the refuse that is this freak.
He'll be getting his jollies from tormenting her mum. He's the type of person who thinks they are more intelligent than the police. I shared a house with someone like this. It came to light that he'd been inviting girls over from Tinder, and was secretly filming them, to pass onto to his buddies. Truly vile creatures.
My son lived next door but 3 to the murderer . He was at uni in hull at the time . Libby lived around the corner from him and he was part of the students searching for her . RIP Libby x
Lisa Squire is an extraordinarily generous and brave lady, to want to meet her daughter’s murderer without any hatred is a testament to her grace and class. That he ultimately refused to meet her blaming her for him being branded a bad person shows what a pathetic, deluded coward he is. My heart goes out to Libby and her remarkable family. ❤️
He is branded a bad person because of his own actions, no one else. Yes, men have "lustful" hormones. That's Nature. But you have to keep your urges under control. Respect women. Protect the vulnerable. Prayers & condolences to Libby's family.
Why as human beings- send the message it's not good- but it's ok if a guy has a tingle in his Twinkie- he should be able to go relieve it? Just like pedophiles- every time ones released-legally- they know it's a matter of time until they return. Why? Universal fact there's no cure-they WILL do it again because that's what turns on their otherwise hibernating winky. Why? It's one of the most disregarded seemingly forgivable nasty offences. Why?
selfish people , only their own live matter , they dont care about someone getting beat up or killed in their courtyard ......... stupid enough to not even call the police ......
A Narrator's voice makes a documentary for me. I love all of your videos. They are well put together and I like how you make the videos more personal to the victim and how life was before , not all about the sad events after.
I never usually comment on youtube videos but I just wanted to thank you for focusing your videos on the victims rather than the perpetrators as I find alot of true crime channels focus too much on the perpetrator and the victims get lost and forgotten in some cases which is heartbreaking for them and their families. :(
This case happened in my city and I’ll never forget the day it was reported she was missing then when she was found… I’ll never forget this case, she should’ve been safe in Hull and I’m so deeply sorry and saddened for her family and Libby herself… rest in peace you beautiful girl 👼💔
Do you know anything about the Welly club? I noticed a fly poster outside during the news report for a DnB night - Noisia, René LaVice, Culture Shock... I wondered if it was for the Welly or somewhere else. Before I saw that I thought it was a more mainstream place.
It is a well known club in hull but I’ve personally never been to that club especially after what happened with Libby… but I’m not sure regarding DnB night 🤔
@@rebeccawithill536 the establishment itself shouldn't be tarred with a bad rep because of Libby,that monster was driving round the around for hours,any female out alone was at risk that night no matter where they had been
If society lets these sex pests know they can get away with "milder" forms of their predatory behaviour, they will continue doing those and escalate. And then his mother saying that his depraved sexual predator of a son is a good boy and respects women (LOLz) tells us the rest of what we have to know about how he turned out like this.
The problem was apprehending him as he simply wasn't on the police radar. The guy sounds like a complete psychopath who his his offending from his wife, so the fact that his mother couldn't connect him to such a heinous crime is perhaps not indicative of anything other than him being an expert at covering up his sexual deviancy when he wasn't in a position to act on it.
@@Lucy-mf5gk - more likely than not but behaviour like this can result from head injuries or influences from outwith and/or unknown to his family including the parents.
@@simonw1313 Except he didnt have any 'head injuries'! his love of violent and degrading porn helped shape a depraved mindset. However, his deluded Mum said that AFTER he had pled guilty to masses of offences against women while married so how on earth could she say he respected women when he himself said he didnt!
Libby’s my colleagues niece. It’s really heartbreaking to see the effects on the family such a tragedy leaves. To this day they keep her memory alive...she never deserved what this disgusting monster did
This is why you NEVER leave a person under the influence alone - you never send them back home or anywhere else alone. Someone should've escorted her, this is common sense. For such a social and likeable girl it's unreal that none of her friends did the right thing
She made the decision to get drunk it's just like drinking and drinking it's a choice grow up and stop pointing your finger at others for a grown woman's decision
@@matchhunter7012 no, it's not her friends' fault BUT maybe they should have cared a little bit about their friend especially if she was clearly drunk. I've been in similar situations (well, when I was young) and I didn't just ignore that my friend might have needed assistance if they weren't thinking rationally for themselves. It's what good friends are for!
I’ve got so much admiration and respect for Libby and her family. I followed this tragic story from day 1 on local news. Hopefully, Libby has saved and protected the lives of vulnerable people who have unnecessarily become separated from their friends. ❤
Such a tragic story. You cover each story with such respect and I have never been so gripped by another show like this. Thank you for doing what you do! It would be interesting to see some videos of crimes that have happened in Plymouth, UK. These aren’t covered often but there have been a lot of late. Thank you
Another case from far away that I never would have heard of were it not for your channel. These innocent victims deserve for the whole world to know their names and remember them. Thank you for the work you do.
I’m a cab driver so for once I feel as though I’m qualified to speak on a subject with some sort of guile. In this kind of instance where one girl is so drunk that she can barely stand, I will always ask the group if one person can sacrifice their night out & come with the intoxicated girl. Because you never know what can happen. You could get to the destination & she’s totally passed out, you could get there and the alcohol especially if drinking spirits could still be hitting her & she’s actually a lot more drunk when arriving at the destination than she was at the start of the journey and you have to physically aide or in some cases even carry them into their own house - which does happen albeit rarely. The other common problem is that the destination given at the taxi rank is incorrect and the person in the car is too drunk to tell you where they live. So then you have the situation where you have to go through their belongings with their consent to try to ascertain where they live, failing that you have to take them to the police station until they sober up. Its a good thing that all U.K. taxi drivers need to pass all kinds of background checks to prove they are a decent human being. In this situation it’s hard to establish fully where the blame lies. Can’t blame Libby for drinking too much because at that age you don’t know your limits & you need nights like this to figure out your own alcohol tolerance. The friends can’t be entirely blamed because they did responsibly get her into a cab & send her home. Maybe someone could have gone with her but I certainly wouldn’t put the blame at any youngsters door for not doing so. Maybe the cab driver could have done more to make sure she was ok, but at the same time I understand fully why he doesn’t want to because once the person is out of the car & no cameras or microphones are around - it’s one persons word against another. In this instance I would have knocked the car off & walked her to her actual door of the building and at least made sure she was inside or found someone that knew her that could take over. Perhaps some things could have been done differently to try to reduce the risk of what happened, but at the end of the day…. In a big city like hull with lots of drunk young girls….and a guy out there lurking around with sinister intent. It was just gonna be the first one that he found on their own and very drunk. That unfortunately happened to be Libby. RIP to the beautiful young lady & I hope the friends don’t beat themselves up too much, they’re young & naive and loving their lives. Maybe a 30+ year old would have seen things a bit differently and gone back with her, but that’s hindsight and the knowledge that comes with experience of life. Just a tragic loss all around.
@angeldimariagreaves4582 I agree. Its the code for girls especially. But women are also 'taught' that we're safe once in a cab. Personally I grew up with 'the code'.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. In my country, we aren't safe in a taxi, so most of the time when a friend took a taxi, doesn't matter if she was sober or a bit drunk, we wrote the licence plate and call her asked to call us as soon as she arrived if we were at a place with a phone (before cellphones) or at least we had that info. Now with Uber and smartphones, friends can share their location or send a text immediately when they arrive at home, that's a code. It's good also that most drivers, specially at night, wait until one has safely entered home to leave. I honestly think that there are preventive measures that can be taken, but there's only one to blame here. No one else is to blame but the man who stalked and took Libby, hurting her and killing her in one of the most henious ways.
I so feel the mothers heart in her statements. About forgetting and then fully waking and remembering. The horror…the pain in her heart…there are no words 😭
Thanks for covering Libbys case so well, I hope that guy rots in hell for what he did to her ... he should have been locked away long before this happened R.I.P beautiful Libby, another young life so cruelly snatched away 😢💔
I don't understand why the British taxpayer has to give this evil man free bed and board for life. Why not deport him back to Poland? How many foreign criminals are filling British jails?
As frustrating as it is that her friends just sent her home in a taxi when she was that intoxicated, the only one that deserves blame is the monster who attacked and murdered her, end of story.
She was using discernment and the comment was empathising with those who are blaming the friends yet stating facts about the culprit. You must be slow and lack comprehension skills. You and three others. 🙃
That is exactly what friends should do. Nothing frustrating about it. They made her in a taxi with money and address and the diver left her literally on her doorstep. No need to put any blame on the friends. They did everything right.
Thank you for the effort you put into these cases. Love this channel, it’s one of my top 5. The narrator has such a mellow, calm voice and each story is told with compassion and respect. Outstanding content every single time. 🤩♥️
I like hearing an English accent occasionally amongst the masses of American channels. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I'm just from England so it's more natural for me to hear 👍🏿
@@slayingroosters4355 try Danielle Kirsty, coffeehouse crime, dark case documentaries, bizarre bazaar, disturban… there’s tons of English crime channels… 😊 oh! And That Chapter! ♥️
@@SnowWhite717_ thank you so much for the recommendations for some reason the algorithm is against me 😅 I'll give them all a try, you can never have too many great channels to watch
As someone who was at the university at the time and helped searched for her after she went missing. This was too close to home. I walked up and down that road multiple times alone and intoxicated. It hurts my soul that this happened to her. I'll remember her everyday. Thank you for coving her case. I hope he rots in jail.
Wow so many offences and he was still out there, I bet he was proud of himself for not getting cought. Glad he's behind bars but at a loss of a lovely girl. RIP Libby.
First off, thanks for the upload, sisters. I've never heard of this case before. Hope Libby is resting in peace. How sad for her family and friends. She obviously had her whole life ahead of her that this POS monster chose to take away. And his thinking that the Squire family was "portraying him as a bad person"... well, he certainly was... and then some. And the fact that his mom had this belief that her son was "a good boy who respects women" even with what was revealed he had done up to that point, before being charged with Libby's death... good God, do these parents even know their own children I wonder sometimes. And evidently his wife had no clue what a psycho her husband/the father of her children was, so I feel bad for her and for her kids as well, having to grow up without their father and learning later in life why that is. And lastly, his disgusting claim that Libby "threw herself at him"... I mean come on, a lady in her inebriated state and him being a married man, he couldn't have just stuck by his marriage vows and said no, if that were in fact the case?!? Please!! He is absolutely pathetic and a disgusting human being. Anyhow, hope he never gets out of prison!!! So hope you are enjoying your weekend, ladies, and stay safe out there!! Oh, and did want to point out that I can't believe how many people saw her that night and tried to help her out, as well as the police getting right on it! Bravo to them!!!
He's a sociopath. Of course he was never going to meet with her mother and she needs to give up on him telling her how her daughter was at the end. If she did meet with him he'd just say something to hurt her more. That's what they do.
If you are a decent person and/or you are in a group, and you find someone, who is clearly drunk, and alone on the street when it's already very late, you don't leave even if this person tells you she/he is ok!! You call an ambulance and wait with this person till the help arrives, period!! This is what you do. Because we live in a world full of predators who actually do search for the victims and sometimes they wait for an 'opportunity', exactly for such vulnerable victims as Libby. So to all young people: please remember this, if you encounter a vulnerable person, drunk or not but even confused, alone late at night, please call the ambulance even if they tell you it's all ok, and wait with this person till the ambulance arrives. Rip Libby. I send my warm thoughts to her family and friends from Poland. I'm sorry that this crime was committed by a member of my nation. But we know evil is in all nations, places, people of all races and sexes. Tragic.
It’s sinister that none of her friends escorted her back home from outside Welly’s. Where I come from (in the States) you never ever let an intoxicated woman leave the premises alone. These people she was with were not her true friends.
@@BenSussmanproI don't believe they were sinister, just naive to the fact that she should have been escorted by one of them. I'm sure they feel terrible.
I was wasted & wandering around on my own in the middle of London one night years ago & a female bouncer at a club told me to come in, sat me down & gave me a pint of water, then told the bar staff not to serve me. Bouncers can & do exercise empathy & common sense, but sadly it's rare. If it's freezing cold & it's a young lady, just let her in & put a 'don't sell me booze' rubber stamp on her hand.
It is shocking that you were being served while drunk earlier but it is good that later the bar staff refused to serve you. I don't understand the pleasure of being intoxicated, vulnerable and out of it and open to accidents and all sorts of thing. Many people don't take any sort of personal safety responsibility but that is their choice, no wonder predators have easy pickings
This is my home town, the university I go to, the nightclub I have been going to since I was 17. It freaked everybody out and put most of us girls on edge about going out. So sad what happened to her
what a vile p.o.s. if Libby wasn't the victim that horrible night it would have been someone else. his behavior was escalating. my sincere condolences to her family and friends.
@deathbycheese850 I completely disagree , it was obvious that he (the scumbag who ra**d her and murdered her) spent at least 5 minutes going back and forth making sure she was alone and intoxicated, the claim that if it wasn't libby it would have been someone else is utterly insane , how often do you see 5'3 extremely drunk girls walking alone with clothes completely inappropriate for the circumstances she was in ( freezing weather and drunk at midnight) and with no phone or any manner in which she can ask for help if anything went south. She was an extremely easy prey and that monster took advantage of her to the fullest very very easily Obviously if it was a sober girl with cell phone and had at least 1 or 2 people with her ( preferably a man ) it would have been 100x more difficult for that trash to do what he did , her friends and the taxi driver also made mistakes that objectively helped him get what he wanted Your take is litrally helping sex offenders , women who read this will 100% be like " yes I should get wasted wearing practically nothing in the middle of the night alone with nobody there with me and with no phone whatsoever , congrats , you have now increased r*pe cases by at least 20% Every single person on earth has a responsibility to protect others and to protect themselves from danger, I cannot go to the swamps of Florida at night and sleep next to the alligators and if anything bad happen to or I got eaten you cannot reasonably think to yourself " oh he did nothing wrong and people shouldn't judge his decisions whatsoever" You said women " should be" In life we do not go with our life with "should and could" , this is life we operate on what is , bad shit happen and you have to protect yourself and make sure you are safe
Poor Libby. I wish she had taken her phone that night. We are all so vulnerable after a few drinks. Take care of yourselves and those around you when out and about. RIP 🕯🕊🌹
Thank you @Truly Criminal for another of your awesome productions. Your work is fabulously put together and read/written just perfectly. Thank you! 👌🏻🌟🥰
I remember when this story broke. Hull wasn't too far away from me in a neighbouring city and it was a very unnerving since my sister had started uni and was working a night shift, which was cheaper for her to walk home after. I made her install at least two different family tracking devices on her phone and thankfully, nothing untoward has ever happened. I also always told her, if she goes on a night out, NO-ONE is to be left on their own. If one wants to leave, you all leave. Doesn't matter if someone wants to keep partying; if something truly awful happens to anyone in the group, you won't have anyone left to party with again. Such an incredible shame that has happened to Libby. Gone far, far too soon. May she rest peacefully. At least that vile pervert is off the streets. Hope he rots.
While this case didn't end the way anyone had hoped, I think the police deserve huge credit for the way they reacted. Too many times, especially here in the US, we hear the initial response of "she's an adult, she can do and go where she wants", "give it 24 hours and see if she shows up" etc. The way the police immediately took Libby's disappearance seriously should be the standard.
Ppl have become numb or too scared to show compassion for others. If you see a vulnerable person call the cops at least. If you hear someone’s scream at least call and report it. We’re living in such a strange world. My heart goes out to her poor mother. 😔
@@Beth15678people have their own lives and responsibilities and can’t be expected to babysit a drunk aggressive stranger. Adults need to be responsible for their own safety and not get ridiculously drunk.
@@paperplane-db8qf no one said anything about “babysitting”. Multiple people chose to stop to try and help her but none of them took the initiative to call emergency services which is what any decent person would do. They could’ve called, given the location and description and left. You should be able to get drunk without someone taking advantage of that and murdering you.
I've said it on another video. My bestfriend and I were with a lot of other friends tailgating super early in the morning. We ALWAYS knew the plan if one of us wandered. She needed the restroom before we went into the game. We were drunk by 9am. I took her bag and went into the game and realized she was gone to long. Looking down her phone was with me. I knew walking out I wouldn't be allowed back in. I found cops and told them. I ran out the game towards our meeting spot and she was in a car with strangers. I ripped her out the car and the cops allowed us back into the game. FIND friends that won't leave you behind!!
I was quite the hell raiser in my younger years and did a ton of stupid stuff along with being an asshole, but I cant imagine just sending a friend that intoxicated and during winter months off in a cab without anyone with them or at their final destination to make sure they get home. Hell one night a buddy left me in his car and I woke up in his neighbors house and to this day have zero clue how I got there
That's exactly what you do. Put in a taxi with money and address. The cab dropped her literally on her doorstep. Not the friends fault she wandered off. They could have taken her home, but the ending could have the same; she wandering off from her flat. This is not her friends fault. They did everything right.
NO. Also, stop acting like you were in the conversation between her friends and her. They may have very well offered to leave with her but she refused them. We don't know. But you people act like they just left her to her own devices. They made sure to get a cab, see who TF was driving the cab, even the cab driver looked after her a bit, and only then did they go about their business. Stop with the lack of accountability.
This poor poor girl. I have a daughter at uni and I can’t begin to imagine what her parents and family are going through. Luckily when my daughter or her friends have been intoxicated they end up all going home together and it puts my mind at rest. Women should be safe and not have to worry about taking a simple walk.
Cases like this always bring back the memories of my drunken nights and the dangers I put myself in many times when I was younger, all because of alcohol. I thank God for protecting me from myself and others who wanted to do me harm. I went through something like Libby and, if it wasn't for God to put people close to me that night to save me, I'd probably not be here today. But I had many other nights where my "friends" chose to party instead of making sure I was safe. Please, women, don't drink yourselves to oblivion! Don't count on "friends" because they'll most like leave you on your own as Libby's did.
You and me both. I'm 45 now, but I think about so many stupid situations I put myself in. It haunts me to think about what could have happened. It wasn't every situation. I had very kind friends who all watched out for each other, but I myself put myself in horrible situations. I was young and honestly never realized what danger I put myself in until years later
Smh I started drinking at 14 on New Year’s Day 2010. & used to get BEYOND WASTED ! I’d fall flat on my face & jump right back up like “fuuuccckkk biiitchhhh let’s get another fvcking drinkkkk” 🤦🏽♀️ I’m now about to be 28 & I haven’t had a drink since my birthday May 4th 2020 but even before then I had already started only drinking on occasion by 21 because I was just over it. I don’t even like clubs or anything like that, I’m a full blown couch potato now & I’m glad because this couldn’t ended up being my story. I was ALWAYS by myself (loner) & making temporary friends while out being ridiculously friendly & oblivious to everything else around me.
Women should be able to walk the streets drunk or not, without being raped and murdered. Don't blame the victim. Remember, this does happen to sober people too.
So God protected you? By that logic God wanted Libby to be raped and murdered. You are claiming God choose to put people with you to help you. Then he chose not to do that with Libby and instead sent a rapist. How about just accepting God doesn't do jack shit to help or otherwise. If he did we could see statistically that religious people who prayed would have better outcomes in life. There have been many double-blind studies that prove this isn't true. Sick people do 100s of times better with modern medical intervention and no better through praying. Because God isn't doing anything. Religion is definitely making the world a worse place but the invisible god of the Bible isn't doing jack or shit.
@@deathbycheese850 In a perfect world that is true, but we do not live in that perfect world, now do we? The fact is, she should not have been drinking to such drunkenness that she had to be babysat like a child by her friends. Not victim blaming her, but the world is a nasty place, and women are already at a disadvantage as it is. Why the hell put yourself at even more of a disadvantage by drinking so much in public that you cannot function? If she doesn't get shit-faced that night, she would still be alive because she would have never been put into the position to run into that piece of shit in the first place.
Such a beautiful girl. Friends should always make sure their friends get home safely and by that I mean when they are inside their home, especially because she was very intoxicated.
Actually I’ve heard multiple other stories where the victim’s friends didn’t do half as much as Libby’s did. It was definitely a problem that she left her phone at home. So sad when someone so young dies.
She was an adult woman. She chose to leave her phone at home. She chose to go out and get sloshed. Her friends rang her a cab to take her home and saw that she got inside. They don't deserve a modicum of blame for what happened.
@@Bubba__Sawyer I have to agree. Why did she leave her cell at home, and did the cab driver drop her off at her place (I missed that)? Did Libby choose not to go in. I'm not clear on this.
@@Bubba__Sawyer Again , those who claim that we shouldn't "victim blame" any person who gets violated in anyway under the name of femnisim and defending women rights is litrally doing nothing but harm to women and any vulnerable group of people , she made multiple bad mistakes that objectively helped the freak get what he wanted , the friends and the taxi also deserve to be blamed
@@Greyy66copy & paste the same comment? Bruh... it was said that he wanted to kill someone, drunk or sober. Yes she made mistakes - we all have - but the reason she's dead is cause some sick freak was out to rape and kill someone.
Poor Libby and please stop blaming her friends. I am positive they blame themselves and are suffering now from horrible guilt. Hindsight is 20/20, many many mistakes happened and her friends I'm sure are suffering.
They shouldn't feel any guilt. They did all they could reasonably have been expected to do. Libby was an adult woman. If you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to be expected to handle your liquor.
I completely disagree , it was obvious that he (the scumbag who ra**d her and murdered her) spent at least 5 minutes going back and forth making sure she was alone and intoxicated, the claim that if it wasn't libby it would have been someone else is utterly insane , how often do you see 5'3 extremely drunk girls walking alone with clothes completely inappropriate for the circumstances she was in ( freezing weather and drunk at midnight) and with no phone or any manner in which she can ask for help if anything went south. She was an extremely easy prey and that monster took advantage of her to the fullest very very easily Obviously if it was a sober girl with cell phone and had at least 1 or 2 people with her ( preferably a man ) it would have been 100x more difficult for that trash to do what he did , her friends and the taxi driver also made mistakes that objectively helped him get what he wanted Your take is litrally helping sex offenders , women who read this will 100% be like " yes I should get wasted wearing practically nothing in the middle of the night alone with nobody there with me and with no phone whatsoever , congrats , you have now increased r*pe cases by at least 20% Every single person on earth has a responsibility to protect others and to protect themselves from danger, I cannot go to the swamps of Florida at night and sleep next to the alligators and if anything bad happen to or I got eaten you cannot reasonably think to yourself " oh he did nothing wrong and people shouldn't judge his decisions whatsoever" You said women " should be" In life we do not go with our life with "should and could" , this is life we operate on what is , bad shit happen and you have to protect yourself and make sure you are safe
@@Greyy66 your comment is riddled with victim blaming and perpetuates rape culture. It doesn’t matter what you wear: rapists rape people, not clothes. I don’t know if you think women are idiots, but no one will read the comment and think ‘yes I should get wasted wearing practically nothing in the middle of the night alone with nobody there with me and no phone whatsoever’ as you stated and that’s not even what happened in this case! And even if that was what happened in the case, why would women think that when the girl this happened to was murdered? You can’t call the claim that if it hadn’t have been Libby, it would have been someone else ‘utterly insane’ because you are not the killer and don’t know what he was thinking, despite your thoughts being just as misogynistic. Many mistakes were made on this night: Libby not taking her phone, friends leaving her alone when she was in no state to be and not alerting the housemate who stayed in to make sure Libby got home safely, the taxi driver not ensuring that she safely went into her house etc. but who are you to say that even if she had had her phone that night, that the outcome would have been any different? Ultimately, the man who murdered Libby is responsible for her murder. Comparing Libby’s murder to you ‘going to the swamps of Florida at night and sleep[ing] next to the alligators’ is utterly stupid and ridiculous; she got drunk with friends on a night out. As someone from Hull and living in Hull as this case unfolded, take your unhelpful views elsewhere.
Sick AF! This is all so terrifying. The way this entire thing gets increasingly scary because it's so random and could have literally been any of us. Wow 😢
The friends did their part. I don’t blame them for putting her on a cab instead of going with her. They were having a good time, probably drunk and didn’t feel like interrupting their fun and/or think about the potential dangers. I’ve put a very drunk friend on a cab before, but only because the driver was another friend’s brother and she had a phone on her. Hindsight is 20/20 guys, don’t be so quick to judge.
The friends did nothing wrong at all. If you're old enough to go out drinking then you're old enough to deal with the consequences that come with that. Everyone else's night shouldn't have to grind to a halt because one person couldn't control their liquor.
Doesn’t really matter what our “judgements” are… as they’re going to have to live with what happened for the rest of their lives. I hope you have and choose to be a better friend and know those drunk nights aren’t always worth it.
Although looking back now, I'm sure they would have done even more but her friends did try to get her home safe. A few other cases where women have died, the friends just left them completely to their own devices. My daughter keeps telling me that she should be able to go for a walk alone and I said yes you should be but that's not the world we live in. My heart hurts for her family.
I mean she did technically make it home safe. They found her keys in the garden directly outside her front door - clearly she had tossed them. She chose not to go inside her home. There’s a good chance that even if her friends took her home personally that she would have gone back out again.
Such a sad story. My heart goes out to Libby's family. May she rest in peace... and may her attacker experience the same horrid acts he inflicted upon his victims. This guy is a despicable creature, and people like him are lucky that someone like me wasn't around when he was committing any of the acts which he was convicted of.
So you want people to expose themselves to him and masturbate in front of him? And what about those people doing those acts, should they suffer the same fate? And then on and on, people all around masturbating in front of each other all in the name of Aristedes Karma
@SteRDLK Yes, the people already in prison with him may very well be his "karma". He did much more than just masturbatiation, so you dont even know what you're saying. He commited sa and murder upon this poor girl, as well as the vile acts he committed upon other victims as well. I believe those who put people through some of the worst trauma someone can endure, should experience the same in return. Eye for an eye. He should fear for his life and experience pain just as his victims did. If you feel bad for this person, you are part of the problem in this world. And it's ok for you to disagree with me. People are allowed to disagree and debate things. This is my opinion, and you have yours. We are both entitled to it, so please don't take it personal if you are "offeneded" by my beliefs.
Libby’s friends realising that she’s too intoxicated, they responsibly booked a taxi to take her home safely. She then directed the driver to drop her off at some dark park for some strange reason. She then proceeded to go sit on a bench, all alone, in the middle of night and still drunk. A predator prowling the night looking for a victim spotted her and the rest is in the documentary. Some people here saying that her friends should’ve taken her home as she was intoxicated, that’s a big ask to expect a group of young varsity students, on a night out enjoying themselves, to stop and take her home. She’s an adult, she was drinking at a fast rate compared to the others, and they did a responsible thing to book her a taxi home. What she decided to do afterwards is not their problem. I’ve seen and heard of these young people who go on a nice night out, allowing their mate to walk home alone or not even bothered to book them transport home, but it was not the case here
A rare voice of reason in this comment section. Thank you. Her friends did all that could reasonably be expected of them. Libby was an adult woman. Adults are deemed responsible enough to handle their liquor and be out and about in the real world on their own. If they need a babysitter then they shouldn't drink or go out late at night.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Very true !! Putting the blame on d friends is a grave sin. Let's put d blame where it actually belongs... on monster who did this and not her friends who has no idea that somethin terrible was going to happen to her !!
Well said… I’d say we have all been in a similar situation in our lives? I know I have. I look back at certain situations and cringe. Her Mum is a force to be reckoned with. What an incredible woman
I thought for SURE when it was said that her friends gave money and her address to the cabbie after Libby was refused entry to the bar, that he was going to be the perpetrator!
@@amymckay23 because she was with a group they absolutely could’ve let her in & refused to serve her/made her drink water while at the bar/club to help her sober up but still be safe & enjoy time with her friends.
Would be nice if, one day, it will be made possible for a young lady to be able to go home from a night out and not be preyed upon! The scary thing about this case is that, Libby wasn't his only choice. If he hadn't found Libby, he would have done it to another young woman instead. He was circling that area specifically to attack a young, drunk woman. Literally sends shivers down my spine x
Here come all the victim-blaming comments about Libby being extremely drunk and walking around alone and her friends not coming back with her...the only person responsible for her murder is her murderer. End of story. I'm sure her friends tortured themselves over what happened, but when you put your friend in a taxi you assume they'll be safe, they couldn't have predicted that Libby would decide not to go in after being dropped off, and they definitely couldn't have known that there was such a dangerous individual out that night.
People get very confused about this. The only person responsible for the murder is the murderer. The only person being an irresponsible, drunken idiot was the victim.
So who should we blame? Your mother? Of course it’s the victims fault. What’s this new age of people that are so afraid of victim blaming. I BLAME HER, she went out, why did she get inebriated? And if she did why didn’t she carry her phone, cash? Why didn’t she have a trusted +1? Why’d she refuse help? Why’d she get in his car?
@Sanket Kulkarni As I said before, how about blaming the monster who killed her? A person can make all sorts of poor decisions, but they never deserve to be murdered. She was a student enjoying a night out, how many of us have made questionable decisions when we were that age?
she could have even had an accident as intoxicated such as falling into a local river, or get mown down at night by a car. You may not be aware, but being drunk can carry risks... ask paramedics The more people are ignorant about life they will continue to have short lives
@@Sabrinajaine Saying a victim made poor decisions doesn't mean someone is saying they deserved to die. Why do all you "victim blaming" snowflakes make such an insane leap in logic?
I'm 59 now but I've always held the motto that "if you go out together, you go home together" - for safety reasons.
So sad and tragic that this happened to Libby and it has, unfortunately, happened to others in similar circumstances.
Let this case be a warning to others.
"Very True".
Such a true statement if at all go with a group if friends if possible.
I'm 56, we had the same motto. It is so sad about Libby.
Well, In the 70s when we were out at parties etc, if a girl wanted to go home, there was no question, two or three of us would walk them home. It saddens me how young women are left to walk home late at night alone these days.
How do you find someone lying in the snow, clearly drunk or ill and not call an ambulance?!
i was wondering the same. despite the fact she was telling numerous ppl that she was ok and needed no help. it's better to call police/ambulance and have them assess the person than to just expect they'll be ok. a very sad story. Predators come in all shapes and sizes....
love and light to Libby's family and friends ❤❤❤
It's better to call police in these cases. Ambulances are intended for medical emergencies, so unless the person is unconcious or injured, call the police. They will take her to the "drunk tank" to sober up.
@@thatcatsis485 I agree in principal with your observation. However, a person lying in the snow at night would prompt me to think of someone being ill. How ill? Hard to say unless you are a health care professional. Even if smelling alcohol on them, alcohol poisoning can be life threatening. Better to be safe than sorry. Here in Canada we have tiered responses where calling police can trigger ambulance and fire depending on the circumstances. ❤️ from 🇨🇦
@@thatcatsis485 The police lol they'd probably do what he did
That is England for ya they never want to get involved for fear of being sued because yes you can be sued in England for helping someone in distress, and believe it or not by the same person in distress! SMH!!!
The detectives who review and decipher the cc tv are like super human. I can’t make out a single thing in those videos. There’s a road and what could possibly be headlights… I mean it’s really incredible work these folks do.
Me neither. I don't know how they can tell those figures are Libby and the murderer.
I thought the same thing.
@@RedheadLondonthey can only tell because they essentially followed HER every move, or as much as possible, via the cameras, starting back at the club.
And then saw the interaction with the perpetrator, when he approached her.
It’s like putting puzzle pieces together.
If they can find a solid starting point, where you can clearly identify the person you’re looking for in a frame, you can work backwards and forwards to follow their path of movement.
Harder to do if you have no idea where you’re even looking for a person, and trying to identify an individual in a sea of people on the CCTV.
I think it’s just as crazy to watch them identify a specific type of car when there’s no visual of a plate and an unclear video, just by analyzing things like how the headlights or brake lights show up in the video, etc.
@@Free420Love I suppose they followed the matchstick person step by step, and ASSUMED it was her, but you can't tell by those images who the person really was. With Sarah Everard, if it wasn't for his car number, they might not have got him either. She was wearing the yellow hat and checked trousers, so it made her stand out a bit on the dash cam. Imagine how many crimes would go unsolved if not for cameras and DNA.
@@RedheadLondon for sure CCTV has been a huge help - wish we had more of it in the U.S., it’s nonexistent in too many places where a lot of criminal activity happens.
But in this case, they knew who it was because they saw the interaction outside the club with her, it was clearly her, her friends corroborated that, and then they picked her right back up near her house at the same time she would have been dropped off, and there was no one else around at that time. It wasn’t perfect evidence, but it was clear that it was her. In this case. It can definitely be very hard in others. We’re constantly advancing in technology, though, so, hopefully better and MORE cameras will be available in the future.
There would definitely be a LOT more unsolved/cold cases over the last two decades if it wasn’t for the CCTC & personal security systems combined. Imagine if they would have been around 20+ years earlier than they started being used, when the majority of the prolific serial killers were at work in the 70s - mid-90s.
Good point about the distinct clothing.
I actually used to tell my girlfriends whom I knew walked home at night by themselves, usually after work, to wear a BRIGHT, visible article of clothing as they walked, in case something happened to them, because it stands out, and that might be THE only thing that someone remembers if police are asking about information related to an attack, assault, disappearance, etc, and could lead to recalling helpful information if they can recall seeing the victim that was wearing something memorable.
Made more than a few friends brightly colored knit hats to wear for walking home in the winter over the years, after being attacked myself.
Sad to think we all NEED to do that “just in case”, but it’s an easy way to potentially help yourself if you find yourself in a bad situation.
My gosh what a sick monster!
Poor Libby , hearing her mom say “she had a huge fear of water and wasn’t a strong swimmer” , breaks my heart.
This case is truly sad!
our governments opened up the doors to these monsters,let alone the thousands that crossed the channel either gone missing on arrival or staying in hotels and allowed to walk the streets as and when they please,the streets are a very unsafe place for women
Imagine if the world was expunged of pornography!
It always makes me wonder if these fears we have (when it’s not because of a traumatic incident in their current life) I mean when they don’t know why, makes me think if it’s possible that in a past life something like this happened to us. Just an interesting thought.
@SassySam yes white men still commit sex crimes against women but,the fact still remains that more sex attacks on young women are caused by people of a different ethnic background despite being in a much smaller group of the population! have you not heard about the grooming gangs that have been a scourge across our country? maybe you should make your daughter aware that?
@@dazspurs9899 what does this even mean?
The escalation in this case is frightening. I see a lot of people blaming Libby's friends but I can't help but think if it hadn't been Libby, it would have been someone else. He was clearly stalking the streets in search of a victim. He is the only one to blame here. And, I hope he never sees the light of day again
Rip Libby 💜
They’ll probably be battling their own demons for letting her go home alone. When I waa younger, if one of us was too drunk, we’d either all leave or make sure we took the drunk one home then headed back out.
It could have been no one if the friends kept her safe
Yeah. I don't think people who blame her friends have ever been young, had a few drinks and been ready to party themselves. My friends and I took care of each other to a certain extent, but we didn't babysit each other. If someone didn't want to go home with us when the night was over, we didn't have the right to force them into a taxi and kidnap them to get them home. They were legal adults, so we had no say. This was a group of tipsy people who put her in a taxi, gave the driver money and has every reason to believe that she would get home safe. And she actually DID get home safely, but she decided to wander off after that. She would probably have done that even if someone had followed her home. But a lot of people writing comments on UA-cam can't comprehend that something bad can possibly happen to anyone they have spent time with, even after they have separated. This is an extremely sad case, but it didn't happen because of anything her friends did or didn't do. It happened because she decided to go for a walk AFTER she got home safely, and had the unbelievably bad luck to cross paths with this psychopath. HE is the only one to blame here.
Well said👏
@@user-db9ed9je2j but in their defence, she did get home safely, they paid for her taxi and she arrived home but she went back out... Likely she would have done that when her friends went back to the club. It's just extremely unfortunate a psychopath was stalking the exact street she found herself wandering. It's so tragic but no one's fault other than the perpetrator.
That creep didn't like being portrayed as a bad person. Hello.... You ARE a bad person!!!
My thoughts exactly
No, he is not a bad person, he is a MONSTER!!
I can’t believe not one person went with her to make sure she made it home safe if she was that drunk. How sad
Sadly it’s life.
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 no
Right. This is what annoyed me the most. How the hell did they think she was going to get inside if she was that drunk?
Exactly. And why was she wandering the streets and refusing help but readily got inside that monsters car?
@@SanketKulkarni10 maybe she had a mental health issue?
Seeing that monster smile and laugh it off, infuriates me. So glad he's off the streets. My heart breaks for Libby, and for what she had to endure💔
The fact that this monster had everyone close to him fooled - his wife, his mother, his co-workers. None of them knew him for who he actually was and it’s sickening. My heart goes out to Libby’s family and friends, I can only imagine the pain they are going through.
Rest in Peace, Libby 🤍
So many serial killers treat their families like gold and others like garbage. So sickening.

Q😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Which is really strange considering he had a string of convictions for rape
You know what I realized. And it's the reason your content is so top-notch. A lot of YT TC stuff is about murder but focuses on grizly facts and doesn't show (enough) human empathy for the victims. And other times, it's the reverse.
But you manage to show empathy and explain the evidence, crime, etc, in a real, researched way.
I think you're the best at this, basically.
I love how the focus is always on the victims as the beginning of these docs.I love how they talk about their personalities,families and their dreams.
I agree. It's so nice and thoughtful that the attention is put on the victim and the victim's family and friends. This is one of four UA-cam channels that make sure attention is brought to the right people. Nice change of pace instead of it always being about the crime and who perpetrated it.
Edited: For grammar.
I could care less. I just wanna know who did it and how they got caught. I skip the victim part most of the time.
We wouldn't know who the crime was against otherwise so its always handy.
@@samle9131 lol ;)
@@scottal True😂 I feel like in some channel it kind of skims over their life.
I’ve done the same walk from Welly blackout drunk with my equally drunk friends. I was very lucky nothing that bad ever happened. I went to uni here and still live there. I live near the memorial, and this case will haunt Hull forever. The amount of campaigning and interviews her mum has done since is a lot, she’s a very brave woman! She even requested to meet her daughters killer in prison but the coward refused 😡
What a weasel he is to disrespect her mom on top of what he has done, makes you wish you lived in Texas. They don’t fool around there, you take a life, they take yours.
Because he wants to keep the illusion of power. Meanwhile, he's ridiculously pathetic, a lame creep who had an entire family but chose to creep, expose himself, harass women who didn't want him, and take the life of someone who was likely worth 10 of him. All he does is remind people that the better person was taken and the world was left with the refuse that is this freak.
How disgusting that the culprit refused to talk to Libby's mum.
He'll be getting his jollies from tormenting her mum. He's the type of person who thinks they are more intelligent than the police. I shared a house with someone like this. It came to light that he'd been inviting girls over from Tinder, and was secretly filming them, to pass onto to his buddies. Truly vile creatures.
Aww, girl please be safe out there. The people in this world are losing their ever loving minds. 🥹🙏🏼 stay as aware and vigilant as possible. ❤
My son lived next door but 3 to the murderer . He was at uni in hull at the time . Libby lived around the corner from him and he was part of the students searching for her . RIP Libby x
Lisa Squire is an extraordinarily generous and brave lady, to want to meet her daughter’s murderer without any hatred is a testament to her grace and class. That he ultimately refused to meet her blaming her for him being branded a bad person shows what a pathetic, deluded coward he is. My heart goes out to Libby and her remarkable family. ❤️
He is branded a bad person because of his own actions, no one else. Yes, men have "lustful" hormones. That's Nature. But you have to keep your urges under control. Respect women. Protect the vulnerable. Prayers & condolences to Libby's family.
It’s the fact that several people spotted her and did try to help…
So many people hear screaming and do nothing. Happens all the time. Unbelievable.
Why as human beings- send the message it's not good- but it's ok if a guy has a tingle in his Twinkie- he should be able to go relieve it? Just like pedophiles- every time ones released-legally- they know it's a matter of time until they return. Why? Universal fact there's no cure-they WILL do it again because that's what turns on their otherwise hibernating winky. Why? It's one of the most disregarded seemingly forgivable nasty offences. Why?
selfish people , only their own live matter , they dont care about someone getting beat up or killed in their courtyard ......... stupid enough to not even call the police ......
To be fair, I'd likely put it down to kids messing around in the woods. You wouldn't expect it to be a murder next to your house.
well they either used to hearing it, they dont really care, or they were half asleep and didnt fully register it at the time.
I just thought I heard screaming in my neighbourhood, so I went to my front door to check. Turns out my neighbours are watching a really loud movie 🤭
Her parents statement at the end is so beautiful and eloquent ❤
A Narrator's voice makes a documentary for me. I love all of your videos. They are well put together and I like how you make the videos more personal to the victim and how life was before , not all about the sad events after.
I never usually comment on youtube videos but I just wanted to thank you for focusing your videos on the victims rather than the perpetrators as I find alot of true crime channels focus too much on the perpetrator and the victims get lost and forgotten in some cases which is heartbreaking for them and their families. :(
Ahh, you are my favorite update of the week ! Your videos are so top notch. I love your voice also, very easy to listen too! Happy Saturday!
This case happened in my city and I’ll never forget the day it was reported she was missing then when she was found… I’ll never forget this case, she should’ve been safe in Hull and I’m so deeply sorry and saddened for her family and Libby herself… rest in peace you beautiful girl 👼💔
Do you know anything about the Welly club? I noticed a fly poster outside during the news report for a DnB night - Noisia, René LaVice, Culture Shock... I wondered if it was for the Welly or somewhere else. Before I saw that I thought it was a more mainstream place.
It is a well known club in hull but I’ve personally never been to that club especially after what happened with Libby… but I’m not sure regarding DnB night 🤔
@@rebeccawithill536 the establishment itself shouldn't be tarred with a bad rep because of Libby,that monster was driving round the around for hours,any female out alone was at risk that night no matter where they had been
If society lets these sex pests know they can get away with "milder" forms of their predatory behaviour, they will continue doing those and escalate. And then his mother saying that his depraved sexual predator of a son is a good boy and respects women (LOLz) tells us the rest of what we have to know about how he turned out like this.
The problem was apprehending him as he simply wasn't on the police radar.
The guy sounds like a complete psychopath who his his offending from his wife, so the fact that his mother couldn't connect him to such a heinous crime is perhaps not indicative of anything other than him being an expert at covering up his sexual deviancy when he wasn't in a position to act on it.

@@simonw1313 Except he didnt have any 'head injuries'! his love of violent and degrading porn helped shape a depraved mindset. However, his deluded Mum said that AFTER he had pled guilty to masses of offences against women while married so how on earth could she say he respected women when he himself said he didnt!
Libby’s my colleagues niece. It’s really heartbreaking to see the effects on the family such a tragedy leaves. To this day they keep her memory alive...she never deserved what this disgusting monster did
This is why you NEVER leave a person under the influence alone - you never send them back home or anywhere else alone. Someone should've escorted her, this is common sense. For such a social and likeable girl it's unreal that none of her friends did the right thing
So now it's the friends fault and not her drinking until being drunk?
You're right, particularly when it's young woman because men can take advantage of her situation.
She made the decision to get drunk it's just like drinking and drinking it's a choice grow up and stop pointing your finger at others for a grown woman's decision
@@matchhunter7012 no, it's not her friends' fault BUT maybe they should have cared a little bit about their friend especially if she was clearly drunk.

It's what good friends are for!

Excellent coverage of this tragic case, as always! Your uploads definitely brighten up my day/night.

Everything this channel publishes is extremely good and of extremely high quality. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us.
I’ve got so much admiration and respect for Libby and her family. I followed this tragic story from day 1 on local news. Hopefully, Libby has saved and protected the lives of vulnerable people who have unnecessarily become separated from their friends. ❤

Love your videos. Hello from Canada. 🍁I love the narration and appreciate how you treat each case. I watch them all. Thank you 💗
Such a tragic story.
You cover each story with such respect and I have never been so gripped by another show like this. Thank you for doing what you do!
It would be interesting to see some videos of crimes that have happened in Plymouth, UK. These aren’t covered often but there have been a lot of late.
Thank you
So many people were offering to help her that night while out she was out walking prior to that guy showing up. So sad
Another case from far away that I never would have heard of were it not for your channel. These innocent victims deserve for the whole world to know their names and remember them.
Thank you for the work you do.
I’m a cab driver so for once I feel as though I’m qualified to speak on a subject with some sort of guile.
In this kind of instance where one girl is so drunk that she can barely stand, I will always ask the group if one person can sacrifice their night out & come with the intoxicated girl. Because you never know what can happen. You could get to the destination & she’s totally passed out, you could get there and the alcohol especially if drinking spirits could still be hitting her & she’s actually a lot more drunk when arriving at the destination than she was at the start of the journey and you have to physically aide or in some cases even carry them into their own house - which does happen albeit rarely.
The other common problem is that the destination given at the taxi rank is incorrect and the person in the car is too drunk to tell you where they live. So then you have the situation where you have to go through their belongings with their consent to try to ascertain where they live, failing that you have to take them to the police station until they sober up.
Its a good thing that all U.K. taxi drivers need to pass all kinds of background checks to prove they are a decent human being.
In this situation it’s hard to establish fully where the blame lies. Can’t blame Libby for drinking too much because at that age you don’t know your limits & you need nights like this to figure out your own alcohol tolerance. The friends can’t be entirely blamed because they did responsibly get her into a cab & send her home. Maybe someone could have gone with her but I certainly wouldn’t put the blame at any youngsters door for not doing so.
Maybe the cab driver could have done more to make sure she was ok, but at the same time I understand fully why he doesn’t want to because once the person is out of the car & no cameras or microphones are around - it’s one persons word against another.
In this instance I would have knocked the car off & walked her to her actual door of the building and at least made sure she was inside or found someone that knew her that could take over.
Perhaps some things could have been done differently to try to reduce the risk of what happened, but at the end of the day…. In a big city like hull with lots of drunk young girls….and a guy out there lurking around with sinister intent. It was just gonna be the first one that he found on their own and very drunk. That unfortunately happened to be Libby.
RIP to the beautiful young lady & I hope the friends don’t beat themselves up too much, they’re young & naive and loving their lives. Maybe a 30+ year old would have seen things a bit differently and gone back with her, but that’s hindsight and the knowledge that comes with experience of life.
Just a tragic loss all around.
Thanks for being the kind person that u are. And keeping girls safe on your watch.
You just don't leave ya mate on her own 😢
@angeldimariagreaves4582 I agree. Its the code for girls especially. But women are also 'taught' that we're safe once in a cab. Personally I grew up with 'the code'.
Thank you for sharing tis insight.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts.
In my country, we aren't safe in a taxi, so most of the time when a friend took a taxi, doesn't matter if she was sober or a bit drunk, we wrote the licence plate and call her asked to call us as soon as she arrived if we were at a place with a phone (before cellphones) or at least we had that info.
Now with Uber and smartphones, friends can share their location or send a text immediately when they arrive at home, that's a code. It's good also that most drivers, specially at night, wait until one has safely entered home to leave.
I honestly think that there are preventive measures that can be taken, but there's only one to blame here. No one else is to blame but the man who stalked and took Libby, hurting her and killing her in one of the most henious ways.
I so feel the mothers heart in her statements. About forgetting and then fully waking and remembering. The horror…the pain in her heart…there are no words 😭
Thanks for covering Libbys case so well, I hope that guy rots in hell for what he did to her ... he should have been locked away long before this happened
R.I.P beautiful Libby, another young life so cruelly snatched away 😢💔
Agreed
I don't understand why the British taxpayer has to give this evil man free bed and board for life. Why not deport him back to Poland? How many foreign criminals are filling British jails?
It makes me wonder if their were more victims, and if anything happened in Poland.
They're not sending their best.
As frustrating as it is that her friends just sent her home in a taxi when she was that intoxicated, the only one that deserves blame is the monster who attacked and murdered her, end of story.
she was also mentally ill
@@rule_brittania2142 they`re guilty of abandoning her mentally ill and drunk
She was using discernment and the comment was empathising with those who are blaming the friends yet stating facts about the culprit. You must be slow and lack comprehension skills. You and three others. 🙃
Isnt that what you are doing tho...?
That is exactly what friends should do. Nothing frustrating about it. They made her in a taxi with money and address and the diver left her literally on her doorstep. No need to put any blame on the friends. They did everything right.
Hard to forget this one! What a tragedy. Poor young woman, poor family and friends. What a monster to do what he did.
Total respect and love to this family for fighting for the rights of others, through their pain.
This case really upsets me😢 What a awful way to die. In this case a prison is just not enough of a punishment. RIP Libby.
Your telling of these stories is a magic tribute to the victims of these horrific acts (evil at work). Thank you 😢
Thank you for the effort you put into these cases. Love this channel, it’s one of my top 5. The narrator has such a mellow, calm voice and each story is told with compassion and respect. Outstanding content every single time. 🤩♥️
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
I like hearing an English accent occasionally amongst the masses of American channels. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I'm just from England so it's more natural for me to hear 👍🏿

As someone who was at the university at the time and helped searched for her after she went missing. This was too close to home. I walked up and down that road multiple times alone and intoxicated. It hurts my soul that this happened to her. I'll remember her everyday. Thank you for coving her case. I hope he rots in jail.
Wow so many offences and he was still out there, I bet he was proud of himself for not getting cought. Glad he's behind bars but at a loss of a lovely girl. RIP Libby.
First off, thanks for the upload, sisters. I've never heard of this case before. Hope Libby is resting in peace. How sad for her family and friends. She obviously had her whole life ahead of her that this POS monster chose to take away. And his thinking that the Squire family was "portraying him as a bad person"... well, he certainly was... and then some. And the fact that his mom had this belief that her son was "a good boy who respects women" even with what was revealed he had done up to that point, before being charged with Libby's death... good God, do these parents even know their own children I wonder sometimes. And evidently his wife had no clue what a psycho her husband/the father of her children was, so I feel bad for her and for her kids as well, having to grow up without their father and learning later in life why that is. And lastly, his disgusting claim that Libby "threw herself at him"... I mean come on, a lady in her inebriated state and him being a married man, he couldn't have just stuck by his marriage vows and said no, if that were in fact the case?!? Please!! He is absolutely pathetic and a disgusting human being. Anyhow, hope he never gets out of prison!!! So hope you are enjoying your weekend, ladies, and stay safe out there!!
Oh, and did want to point out that I can't believe how many people saw her that night and tried to help her out, as well as the police getting right on it! Bravo to them!!!
THIS BREAKS MY HEART.
GOD BLESS ALL THE FAMILY........
He's a sociopath. Of course he was never going to meet with her mother and she needs to give up on him telling her how her daughter was at the end. If she did meet with him he'd just say something to hurt her more. That's what they do.
Or toy with her and try to get a reaction even if his story is true or not.
Your footage is amazing. Best true crime channel, you capture all the details.
If you are a decent person and/or you are in a group, and you find someone, who is clearly drunk, and alone on the street when it's already very late, you don't leave even if this person tells you she/he is ok!! You call an ambulance and wait with this person till the help arrives, period!! This is what you do. Because we live in a world full of predators who actually do search for the victims and sometimes they wait for an 'opportunity', exactly for such vulnerable victims as Libby. So to all young people: please remember this, if you encounter a vulnerable person, drunk or not but even confused, alone late at night, please call the ambulance even if they tell you it's all ok, and wait with this person till the ambulance arrives. Rip Libby. I send my warm thoughts to her family and friends from Poland. I'm sorry that this crime was committed by a member of my nation. But we know evil is in all nations, places, people of all races and sexes. Tragic.
It’s sinister that none of her friends escorted her back home from outside Welly’s. Where I come from (in the States) you never ever let an intoxicated woman leave the premises alone. These people she was with were not her true friends.
@@BenSussmanproI don't believe they were sinister, just naive to the fact that she should have been escorted by one of them. I'm sure they feel terrible.
Woohoo! Excited to watch another one of your impeccably put together videos :)
I was wasted & wandering around on my own in the middle of London one night years ago & a female bouncer at a club told me to come in, sat me down & gave me a pint of water, then told the bar staff not to serve me. Bouncers can & do exercise empathy & common sense, but sadly it's rare. If it's freezing cold & it's a young lady, just let her in & put a 'don't sell me booze' rubber stamp on her hand.
Yeah if only more places did this, at least they can wait inside until their friends are done partying
Exactly.
I hope more nightclub staff read your post. This is a great practice, and could really help people stay safe. I'm glad you made it through.
It is shocking that you were being served while drunk earlier but it is good that later the bar staff refused to serve you. I don't understand the pleasure of being intoxicated, vulnerable and out of it and open to accidents and all sorts of thing. Many people don't take any sort of personal safety responsibility but that is their choice, no wonder predators have easy pickings
That's not a reasonable expectation to put onto these establishments. They have absolutely ZERO duty of care to babysit some drunk idiot.
How he even be considered for parole after doing such things. Disgusting.
This is my home town, the university I go to, the nightclub I have been going to since I was 17. It freaked everybody out and put most of us girls on edge about going out. So sad what happened to her
what a vile p.o.s. if Libby wasn't the victim that horrible night it would have been someone else. his behavior was escalating. my sincere condolences to her family and friends.
@deathbycheese850 I completely disagree , it was obvious that he (the scumbag who ra**d her and murdered her) spent at least 5 minutes going back and forth making sure she was alone and intoxicated, the claim that if it wasn't libby it would have been someone else is utterly insane , how often do you see 5'3 extremely drunk girls walking alone with clothes completely inappropriate for the circumstances she was in ( freezing weather and drunk at midnight) and with no phone or any manner in which she can ask for help if anything went south.
She was an extremely easy prey and that monster took advantage of her to the fullest very very easily
Obviously if it was a sober girl with cell phone and had at least 1 or 2 people with her ( preferably a man ) it would have been 100x more difficult for that trash to do what he did , her friends and the taxi driver also made mistakes that objectively helped him get what he wanted
Your take is litrally helping sex offenders , women who read this will 100% be like " yes I should get wasted wearing practically nothing in the middle of the night alone with nobody there with me and with no phone whatsoever , congrats , you have now increased r*pe cases by at least 20%
Every single person on earth has a responsibility to protect others and to protect themselves from danger, I cannot go to the swamps of Florida at night and sleep next to the alligators and if anything bad happen to or I got eaten you cannot reasonably think to yourself " oh he did nothing wrong and people shouldn't judge his decisions whatsoever"
You said women " should be"
In life we do not go with our life with "should and could" , this is life we operate on what is , bad shit happen and you have to protect yourself and make sure you are safe
Poor Libby. I wish she had taken her phone that night. We are all so vulnerable after a few drinks. Take care of yourselves and those around you when out and about. RIP 🕯🕊🌹
I’m impressed with the good job of all of law enforcement and their diligence. This monster was just getting started and now he’s off the streets
Love your channel. Fab work as usual! From Cumbria, UK :)
Thank you so much!
Thank you @Truly Criminal for another of your awesome productions. Your work is fabulously put together and read/written just perfectly. Thank you! 👌🏻🌟🥰
I remember when this story broke. Hull wasn't too far away from me in a neighbouring city and it was a very unnerving since my sister had started uni and was working a night shift, which was cheaper for her to walk home after. I made her install at least two different family tracking devices on her phone and thankfully, nothing untoward has ever happened. I also always told her, if she goes on a night out, NO-ONE is to be left on their own. If one wants to leave, you all leave. Doesn't matter if someone wants to keep partying; if something truly awful happens to anyone in the group, you won't have anyone left to party with again.
Such an incredible shame that has happened to Libby. Gone far, far too soon. May she rest peacefully. At least that vile pervert is off the streets. Hope he rots.
While this case didn't end the way anyone had hoped, I think the police deserve huge credit for the way they reacted. Too many times, especially here in the US, we hear the initial response of "she's an adult, she can do and go where she wants", "give it 24 hours and see if she shows up" etc. The way the police immediately took Libby's disappearance seriously should be the standard.
Truly criminal,so so many thanks for your wonderful video's 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Your channel is the Queen of CCTV FOOTAGE! 👏🏾 that’s your secret sauce. Your channel is thoroughly enjoyable. Keep up the good work.
Ppl have become numb or too scared to show compassion for others. If you see a vulnerable person call the cops at least. If you hear someone’s scream at least call and report it. We’re living in such a strange world. My heart goes out to her poor mother. 😔
Agreed.
Many people stopped to try and help her
@@SpandexSuperstarryet not one of them called emergency services
@@Beth15678people have their own lives and responsibilities and can’t be expected to babysit a drunk aggressive stranger.
Adults need to be responsible for their own safety and not get ridiculously drunk.
@@paperplane-db8qf no one said anything about “babysitting”. Multiple people chose to stop to try and help her but none of them took the initiative to call emergency services which is what any decent person would do. They could’ve called, given the location and description and left. You should be able to get drunk without someone taking advantage of that and murdering you.
I've said it on another video. My bestfriend and I were with a lot of other friends tailgating super early in the morning. We ALWAYS knew the plan if one of us wandered. She needed the restroom before we went into the game. We were drunk by 9am. I took her bag and went into the game and realized she was gone to long. Looking down her phone was with me. I knew walking out I wouldn't be allowed back in. I found cops and told them. I ran out the game towards our meeting spot and she was in a car with strangers. I ripped her out the car and the cops allowed us back into the game. FIND friends that won't leave you behind!!
Your friend sounds incredibly stupid and irresponsible. I hope you didn't continue to go on drunk nights out with them.
I was quite the hell raiser in my younger years and did a ton of stupid stuff along with being an asshole, but I cant imagine just sending a friend that intoxicated and during winter months off in a cab without anyone with them or at their final destination to make sure they get home. Hell one night a buddy left me in his car and I woke up in his neighbors house and to this day have zero clue how I got there
Great story
Blame the perp.
@@Idonotcommentanymore no
That's exactly what you do. Put in a taxi with money and address.
The cab dropped her literally on her doorstep.
Not the friends fault she wandered off.
They could have taken her home, but the ending could have the same; she wandering off from her flat.
This is not her friends fault. They did everything right.
NO. Also, stop acting like you were in the conversation between her friends and her. They may have very well offered to leave with her but she refused them. We don't know. But you people act like they just left her to her own devices. They made sure to get a cab, see who TF was driving the cab, even the cab driver looked after her a bit, and only then did they go about their business. Stop with the lack of accountability.
The note from her mother broke me. Rip Libby.
This poor poor girl. I have a daughter at uni and I can’t begin to imagine what her parents and family are going through. Luckily when my daughter or her friends have been intoxicated they end up all going home together and it puts my mind at rest. Women should be safe and not have to worry about taking a simple walk.
Cases like this always bring back the memories of my drunken nights and the dangers I put myself in many times when I was younger, all because of alcohol. I thank God for protecting me from myself and others who wanted to do me harm. I went through something like Libby and, if it wasn't for God to put people close to me that night to save me, I'd probably not be here today. But I had many other nights where my "friends" chose to party instead of making sure I was safe. Please, women, don't drink yourselves to oblivion! Don't count on "friends" because they'll most like leave you on your own as Libby's did.
You and me both. I'm 45 now, but I think about so many stupid situations I put myself in. It haunts me to think about what could have happened. It wasn't every situation. I had very kind friends who all watched out for each other, but I myself put myself in horrible situations. I was young and honestly never realized what danger I put myself in until years later
Smh I started drinking at 14 on New Year’s Day 2010. & used to get BEYOND WASTED ! I’d fall flat on my face & jump right back up like “fuuuccckkk biiitchhhh let’s get another fvcking drinkkkk” 🤦🏽♀️ I’m now about to be 28 & I haven’t had a drink since my birthday May 4th 2020 but even before then I had already started only drinking on occasion by 21 because I was just over it. I don’t even like clubs or anything like that, I’m a full blown couch potato now & I’m glad because this couldn’t ended up being my story. I was ALWAYS by myself (loner) & making temporary friends while out being ridiculously friendly & oblivious to everything else around me.
Women should be able to walk the streets drunk or not, without being raped and murdered. Don't blame the victim. Remember, this does happen to sober people too.
So God protected you? By that logic God wanted Libby to be raped and murdered. You are claiming God choose to put people with you to help you. Then he chose not to do that with Libby and instead sent a rapist.
How about just accepting God doesn't do jack shit to help or otherwise.
If he did we could see statistically that religious people who prayed would have better outcomes in life. There have been many double-blind studies that prove this isn't true.
Sick people do 100s of times better with modern medical intervention and no better through praying. Because God isn't doing anything. Religion is definitely making the world a worse place but the invisible god of the Bible isn't doing jack or shit.
@@deathbycheese850 In a perfect world that is true, but we do not live in that perfect world, now do we? The fact is, she should not have been drinking to such drunkenness that she had to be babysat like a child by her friends. Not victim blaming her, but the world is a nasty place, and women are already at a disadvantage as it is. Why the hell put yourself at even more of a disadvantage by drinking so much in public that you cannot function? If she doesn't get shit-faced that night, she would still be alive because she would have never been put into the position to run into that piece of shit in the first place.
there are monsters like this in every town/ city...absolutely shocking
I absolutely love love this channel ❤.
You are such a good narrator. I never tire of hearing your stories.
Such a beautiful girl. Friends should always make sure their friends get home safely and by that I mean when they are inside their home, especially because she was very intoxicated.
If she doesn't want help just call the police and have them stop her.
Exactly, and wait until the cops turn up whatever mood she was in!
@@anneperry9014Yes
Actually I’ve heard multiple other stories where the victim’s friends didn’t do half as much as Libby’s did. It was definitely a problem that she left her phone at home. So sad when someone so young dies.
She was an adult woman. She chose to leave her phone at home. She chose to go out and get sloshed. Her friends rang her a cab to take her home and saw that she got inside. They don't deserve a modicum of blame for what happened.
@@Bubba__Sawyer I have to agree. Why did she leave her cell at home, and did the cab driver drop her off at her place (I missed that)? Did Libby choose not to go in. I'm not clear on this.
@@Bubba__Sawyer
Again , those who claim that we shouldn't "victim blame" any person who gets violated in anyway under the name of femnisim and defending women rights is litrally doing nothing but harm to women and any vulnerable group of people , she made multiple bad mistakes that objectively helped the freak get what he wanted , the friends and the taxi also deserve to be blamed
@@Greyy66copy & paste the same comment? Bruh... it was said that he wanted to kill someone, drunk or sober. Yes she made mistakes - we all have - but the reason she's dead is cause some sick freak was out to rape and kill someone.
Poor Libby and please stop blaming her friends. I am positive they blame themselves and are suffering now from horrible guilt. Hindsight is 20/20, many many mistakes happened and her friends I'm sure are suffering.
Yes. The guilt they must feel. 😔
They shouldn't feel any guilt. They did all they could reasonably have been expected to do. Libby was an adult woman. If you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to be expected to handle your liquor.

@@Greyy66 your comment is riddled with victim blaming and perpetuates rape culture. It doesn’t matter what you wear: rapists rape people, not clothes. I don’t know if you think women are idiots, but no one will read the comment and think ‘yes I should get wasted wearing practically nothing in the middle of the night alone with nobody there with me and no phone whatsoever’ as you stated and that’s not even what happened in this case! And even if that was what happened in the case, why would women think that when the girl this happened to was murdered?
You can’t call the claim that if it hadn’t have been Libby, it would have been someone else ‘utterly insane’ because you are not the killer and don’t know what he was thinking, despite your thoughts being just as misogynistic.
Many mistakes were made on this night: Libby not taking her phone, friends leaving her alone when she was in no state to be and not alerting the housemate who stayed in to make sure Libby got home safely, the taxi driver not ensuring that she safely went into her house etc. but who are you to say that even if she had had her phone that night, that the outcome would have been any different? Ultimately, the man who murdered Libby is responsible for her murder. Comparing Libby’s murder to you ‘going to the swamps of Florida at night and sleep[ing] next to the alligators’ is utterly stupid and ridiculous; she got drunk with friends on a night out.
As someone from Hull and living in Hull as this case unfolded, take your unhelpful views elsewhere.
Sick AF! This is all so terrifying. The way this entire thing gets increasingly scary because it's so random and could have literally been any of us. Wow 😢
The friends did their part. I don’t blame them for putting her on a cab instead of going with her. They were having a good time, probably drunk and didn’t feel like interrupting their fun and/or think about the potential dangers. I’ve put a very drunk friend on a cab before, but only because the driver was another friend’s brother and she had a phone on her. Hindsight is 20/20 guys, don’t be so quick to judge.
The friends did nothing wrong at all. If you're old enough to go out drinking then you're old enough to deal with the consequences that come with that. Everyone else's night shouldn't have to grind to a halt because one person couldn't control their liquor.
@@Bubba__Sawyer bit of a harsh reply given the circumstances.
@@Bubba__Sawyer Sure, so just because someone is drunk, being raped and murdered should definitely be the consequence. 🤦🏼♀🤦🏼♀
@@Bubba__Sawyer so what you are saying is that because she had too much to drink, poor libby got was she deserved right? You f**king idiot
Doesn’t really matter what our “judgements” are… as they’re going to have to live with what happened for the rest of their lives. I hope you have and choose to be a better friend and know those drunk nights aren’t always worth it.
Excellent storytelling. Thanks
libby grew up in wycombe, same as me so i do have a special heart for libby . rip xx

@@alanalangley9675 drinking is not a necessity and getting drunk beyond control is even more not necessary especially compromising safety..
The fact that he returned to the spot after he did what he did… sick…
They always do sooner or later
He went back to dispose of Libby's body. From where he murdered her it's about 200m across the playing fields to the river
Narrator has a beautiful voice 🙂
I love the beautiful music you play at the beginnings it gets the vibes going 🥲🥲🥹🥹
I send my condolences to the family and friends. I also give you the upmost prop and credit for the perfection on telling Libby's story.
Although looking back now, I'm sure they would have done even more but her friends did try to get her home safe. A few other cases where women have died, the friends just left them completely to their own devices. My daughter keeps telling me that she should be able to go for a walk alone and I said yes you should be but that's not the world we live in. My heart hurts for her family.
I mean she did technically make it home safe. They found her keys in the garden directly outside her front door - clearly she had tossed them. She chose not to go inside her home. There’s a good chance that even if her friends took her home personally that she would have gone back out again.
Such a sad story. My heart goes out to Libby's family. May she rest in peace... and may her attacker experience the same horrid acts he inflicted upon his victims. This guy is a despicable creature, and people like him are lucky that someone like me wasn't around when he was committing any of the acts which he was convicted of.
So you want people to expose themselves to him and masturbate in front of him? And what about those people doing those acts, should they suffer the same fate? And then on and on, people all around masturbating in front of each other all in the name of Aristedes Karma
@SteRDLK Yes, the people already in prison with him may very well be his "karma". He did much more than just masturbatiation, so you dont even know what you're saying. He commited sa and murder upon this poor girl, as well as the vile acts he committed upon other victims as well. I believe those who put people through some of the worst trauma someone can endure, should experience the same in return. Eye for an eye. He should fear for his life and experience pain just as his victims did. If you feel bad for this person, you are part of the problem in this world. And it's ok for you to disagree with me. People are allowed to disagree and debate things. This is my opinion, and you have yours. We are both entitled to it, so please don't take it personal if you are "offeneded" by my beliefs.
This is so sad and tragic. My thoughts to Libby's family.
💜💛💜💛💜🕊
Rest in peace beautiful young Lady x
My heart goes out to all of Libby's family and friends 💕
Libby’s friends realising that she’s too intoxicated, they responsibly booked a taxi to take her home safely. She then directed the driver to drop her off at some dark park for some strange reason. She then proceeded to go sit on a bench, all alone, in the middle of night and still drunk. A predator prowling the night looking for a victim spotted her and the rest is in the documentary.
Some people here saying that her friends should’ve taken her home as she was intoxicated, that’s a big ask to expect a group of young varsity students, on a night out enjoying themselves, to stop and take her home. She’s an adult, she was drinking at a fast rate compared to the others, and they did a responsible thing to book her a taxi home. What she decided to do afterwards is not their problem. I’ve seen and heard of these young people who go on a nice night out, allowing their mate to walk home alone or not even bothered to book them transport home, but it was not the case here
A rare voice of reason in this comment section. Thank you. Her friends did all that could reasonably be expected of them. Libby was an adult woman. Adults are deemed responsible enough to handle their liquor and be out and about in the real world on their own. If they need a babysitter then they shouldn't drink or go out late at night.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Very true !! Putting the blame on d friends is a grave sin. Let's put d blame where it actually belongs... on monster who did this and not her friends who has no idea that somethin terrible was going to happen to her !!
She was dropped off at her house, she then wandered off, he then took her to the park etc etc.
Well said… I’d say we have all been in a similar situation in our lives? I know I have. I look back at certain situations and cringe. Her Mum is a force to be reckoned with. What an incredible woman
@@TheSonicdruid72 Not well said, the op doesn't have the facts right.
Please always take your fully charged phone with you.
Everyone if you have friends, epecially drunk friends, please make sure they get home safe and dont leave them alone
I thought for SURE when it was said that her friends gave money and her address to the cabbie after Libby was refused entry to the bar, that he was going to be the perpetrator!
They didnt want to go home - they had gone out. The club should've let her in.
@@Lucy-mf5gk No they shouldn’t have…
@@amymckay23 because she was with a group they absolutely could’ve let her in & refused to serve her/made her drink water while at the bar/club to help her sober up but still be safe & enjoy time with her friends.
How about don't drink.simple
great crime documentary, love the way truly criminal put their videos together
Would be nice if, one day, it will be made possible for a young lady to be able to go home from a night out and not be preyed upon!
The scary thing about this case is that, Libby wasn't his only choice. If he hadn't found Libby, he would have done it to another young woman instead. He was circling that area specifically to attack a young, drunk woman. Literally sends shivers down my spine x
Her moms Facebook post broke my heart, I actually couldn’t stop crying 😢 her poor family, I hope she wasn’t alive when she went into the water 💔
Here come all the victim-blaming comments about Libby being extremely drunk and walking around alone and her friends not coming back with her...the only person responsible for her murder is her murderer. End of story. I'm sure her friends tortured themselves over what happened, but when you put your friend in a taxi you assume they'll be safe, they couldn't have predicted that Libby would decide not to go in after being dropped off, and they definitely couldn't have known that there was such a dangerous individual out that night.
People get very confused about this. The only person responsible for the murder is the murderer. The only person being an irresponsible, drunken idiot was the victim.
So who should we blame? Your mother? Of course it’s the victims fault. What’s this new age of people that are so afraid of victim blaming. I BLAME HER, she went out, why did she get inebriated? And if she did why didn’t she carry her phone, cash? Why didn’t she have a trusted +1? Why’d she refuse help? Why’d she get in his car?
@Sanket Kulkarni As I said before, how about blaming the monster who killed her? A person can make all sorts of poor decisions, but they never deserve to be murdered. She was a student enjoying a night out, how many of us have made questionable decisions when we were that age?
she could have even had an accident as intoxicated such as falling into a local river, or get mown down at night by a car. You may not be aware, but being drunk can carry risks... ask paramedics The more people are ignorant about life they will continue to have short lives
@@Sabrinajaine Saying a victim made poor decisions doesn't mean someone is saying they deserved to die. Why do all you "victim blaming" snowflakes make such an insane leap in logic?
I genuinely cannot wrap my head around leaving a friend go home alone. No night out is worth your friends safety
