    Jill went through so much. My son was also born with two holes in his heart, and he was blue too. He would have to choose between breathing and drinking bottles. He would wheeze 24/7 and could barely sleep. At 6 months old he also had open heart surgery and he became a brand new baby. He and his twin brother will be 4 in July and he is just the same size and has the same amount of energy as his twin. I’m so proud of him. Jill, rest in peace. You were given a second chance to live and someone took that away... it’s not fair.

      During his procedure, we stayed at a place that was a 2 minute drive away from the hospital called the “Ronald McDonald House” they gave us free gas, money, food, free housing, free clothes, and quite literally anything else we could ever ask. These days I donate to them any time I possibly can through the little change jar at the McDonald’s drive thru. They helped save my son’s life! I’m so blessed. I am grateful every single day.

    I’m not usually a big “it was a hit man” believer, but damn the way she was killed really does sound like a hit. My problem with Barry being the killer is that he seemed to be a potential sexual predator (the stalking, hiding in bushes with rope and a knife) and I don’t think he would have just killer her quickly, it’s not really a match to his type of crimes. Allegedly.

    to add to the sleeper spy theory, it would make sense that the police were reluctant to investigate suspects if they already knew the perpetrator was a spy and therefore wasn't any of the other potential suspects. they can't openly admit to letting a spy infiltrate england and murder a public figure, but also shouldn't put an innocent man in jail just to cover it up. so instead they play it dumb.
    however, the constant pressure from the media and the public likely pushed detectives to find someone to take the blame: someone that could fit the stalker stereotype, someone that would struggle to defend themselves in court, someone that could be easily portrayed as a violent outcast that the public were bound to dislike.

    *Edit* - (omg, I knew they were similar in age but just found out Jill was 37 when she died and that is how old Princess Diana was when she died as well. (If I’m not mistaken) so that is yet another similarity. So now my mind is now even more blown than it already was.)

    Would you consider covering the brutal murder of my previous teachers at Malmölatinskolan, Victoria Edström and Sara Böök and also the outrageous claims of the defence lawyer, Anders Elison, trying to explain away the planned attack with autism which was enraging, then the murderer Fabian Cederholm, 18 years old, a student at the school.
    They were killed at a place where they should've been able to feel safe..and so brutally taken as well, I think it was with an axe if I remember correctly..
    It's a Swedish case so it isn't really talked about much internationally..but not even in Sweden anymore which just breaks my heart because it just feels so forgotten and that doesn't feel fair whatsoever!
    It has been two years now since it happened and I've graduated, which feels very weird to say.
    I've managed to get through and graduate and leave a lot of the trauma behind thankfully but it still affects me and many people to this day. I think it has affected me a lot because my friend was a room away from where it happened, made you think, it could've been her, could've been me, could've been anyone, but I was also home that day.. I don't know but for a long time I wish it had been me. Even though I wasn't there I often got vivid images of the attack in my head and got a lot of trauma from it and I'll be honest probably didn't get enough support because I was already struggling to be in school so wasn't too noticed when it took about 6 weeks to be able to get to a lesson. Though the school was doing their best with what they knew because they weren't prepared for something like this, how could they?
    Might sound selfish but also for some sort of closure..? This case has really affected me, I think also because my friend was literally right next to where it happened, it could have been her, it could have been anyone..at times I even wish it had been me.... I for some reason was home that day.
    Either way it's been really hard and I think it could bring quite a bit of peace knowing people are talking about them and sharing their story.
    Not only do their names and stories deserve to be known I think you could learn a lot from the case.
    Like how to prevent these things from happening and also to learn what to do if you ever got into a situation like this at school and how to support the students and teachers as much as possible.
    And I'd be more than glad to help out if you needed inside stories or translation help. Hope you would consider it at least. And I'd gladly help with translation or with inside information. I know I've rewritten and posted this comment a lot it would just really mean a lot to me and I hope you can at least consider it.
    Much love x

She even makes sure to have researchers and translators from the origin country of the case as well as even sometimes interviewing victim’s loved ones for more insight.

    Eleanor, you made a comment at 28:16 when you said, it's like a class. You are a teacher because I learn a lot when watching your videos. I saw a true crime episode about James Bulger (sp?). It is a devastating story that stuck with me for the longest time. Mainly for what they did to young James but, the age of the perps. I have 2 sons, so it hit too close to home for me. I know you mentioned if someone said you were beautiful like Princess Diana you would be extremely happy. I think you look a lot like Princess Fergie when she was younger. I wish I could post the picture that I am speaking of. You also have the same look as me in my early 20's but you are so much prettier than I ever was. Thank you for all the research that you do for your videos. Your dedication shows through your work!!!

    Faxes - We still have a fax machine at my work that rarely gets used, but it still is there. I am right in the age bracket where I grew up with the first computers so I know what fax machines are and how they work but never really used one very often. But I have NEVER heard it referred to as a "old text message" and that is quite possibly the most BRILLIANT comparison I've heard.

    I struggle to understand how the police cleared Bob Wheaten so quickly. He owed Jill 35,000 pounds and showed he had the money. However, he had not attempted to pay Jill back. That to me is suspicious, not proof he didn't have her killed. They had been separated for years and yet he had not settled his debt. Could he have been jealous Jill was moving on without him? Was he upset she was now talking of marrying, settleing down and starting a family?

    Jill was visiting her Gowan avenue home every week on a Monday morning at around 10/1030 am , her fiancé stayed there with her a week previously. Anybody could've pick up on this routine. The random version is bs from Hamish Campbell's blinker visionary on Barry George. If you listen to Richard Hughes , Jill's immediate neighbour. He stated in the reconstruction it was Jill's time home. He heard her distinctive car alarm. This explains why a man was hanging around an hour earlier, Jill was particularly late that morning by an hour almost. He was acting agitated as she hadn't turned up at her normal time.

    At 3 a.m. Iwona left the club where she had been with her friends and decided to walk home alone. City surveillance cameras recorded her at 3:07 am when she was heading towards the seaside promenade. It was a few kilometers from Sopot to her home. Before 4 a.m., the 19-year-old's phone had switched off and at 4:12 am , she passed entrance no. 63 to the beach in Gdańsk Jelitkowo. There, she was recorded by a surveillance camera and the trace of 19-year-old Iwona ended at that place. She was no longer recorded by other city surveillance cameras.

    My paternal grandmother was a blue baby. She was born in the early 1900s and there wasn't any surgery to treat blue babies until around 1944, I believe a doctor at Duke University discovered a surgical treatment for the congenital heart defect. My grandmother was already married and had adopted my dad and his twin sister by that time. She had lost one leg well above the knee due to gangrene. I don't have too many memories of my grandmother as she passed away when I was 8 years old. I remember her sitting in her favorite chair with her crutches next to her. She always had stale fortune cookies on a plate for us kids when we came over to visit. They may have been stale but we ate them anyway because our mom was type I diabetic and we never got to eat anything sugary treats. Those stale fortune cookies were a real treat for my sister and me. 🥠
    I remember when Jill Dando was killed. It made the news over here too. She was truly a beautiful woman. She did kind of resemble Princess Diana.

    The American accent was hilarious! I hadn’t heard the story at all at that point and immediately gave the video a thumbs up! Love your channel! Didn’t lose my American subscription ❤

      America has so many accents alone that I think almost any impression of an American accent could fit in

    Can we stand the the fact the she died after she announced her engagement… she broke up with her ex due to work but got engaged to another man which i think would have ticked off her ex as he is a control freak in and out.. why was the only suspicion of him financial… thats my theory. He got jealous and hired someone to off her.

    Theory you can take with a grain of salt - Jimmy Saville hired the hit (didn't have to be the entire BBC in on it) because Jill Dando could've found out or was close to finding out about what he was doing. The hitman could've been a Serbian hitman, and given the professional work of hitmen and the people who hire them, the person seen wearing a trench-coat and the angry guy in the car were diversions. And Jon Roseman being her agent might've brought it up to someone from the BBC that she would be going back to her home that day to pick up her faxes (or she mentioned it herself - after all, if her killer or the person who hired her killer knew, they probably wouldn't tell the police they knew). Of course, it could be people being posted around her home or being followed from her fiancé's home in a car (or if diversions were ready, multiple different cars). Regardless, if they knew she wasn't home often, maybe they expected less witnesses - add that with diversions and it's even harder to link to an unaffiliated assassin. But eh, just a far-fetched random theory.

    I just came across your channel, and this story is fascinating.
    Being in my early 20s in the States and a new mom to boot at the time of these events, I have never heard this story, so please forgive me if there is information that is common knowledge in the UK that I don't know, but had anyone ever looked into the possibility that Barry George was activity stalking her and while creeping around her house that day accidently witnessed her murder?
    If he was scared enough of the murderer or traumatized enough by the event, it would explain his bizarre behavior with the taxi company, possibly being identified as the trench coat guy and if he touched her after the assassin left it would explain the gun powder residue. I know this is a major theory with NO evidence or knowledge other than this video to go on, but it popped in my head.

      He was at the disability centre at the time of the killing, he didn’t witness anything. His odd behaviour was because police often picked him up for crimes so he was trying to cover his back.

    The saddest thing to me is that when I looked her up, the results weren't clips of her doing what she loved but just videos about her murder. She was so much more than her murder. So sad.
