I am flabbergasted that her sister received that note and did nothing, even after the family stopped hearing from her and then to not report her missing after not hearing from her around the holidays?? She went unheard from for nearly 2 months before she was reported missing and not even by her own family. 🤦🏽♀️ If I miss 3 calls from my mom she will speed to my house and beat the door down.
particularly in case like this! i just don’t think there’s any rehabilitation for him, he literally could not have been less remorseful, going as far as saying he wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire knowing full well he had killed her? so disgusting not to mention how his release would affect Lynsey’s children and her family
my father received parole after murdering my mother and it was the most gut-wrenching and heartbreaking time of my life. i was devastated that they would even consider letting him out into the public world. he ripped apart my family with no remorse, no sadness, no guilt. i have never forgiven him for the trauma his actions caused me, and i never will. he died in october of last year, and he died knowing that his son, his only child with one of the most incredible and wonderful women (that was entirely out of his league, might i add), hated him through and through. his family has consistently tried to reach out to me after his death, and i refuse to even give them the time of day. they saw nothing wrong with him murdering her, as she was trying to leave him (to keep me safe). i cant imagine how scared and helpless she must have felt in the last minutes of her life. it will be twenty-one years without her next march, and her birthday is coming up 02 september. i cant wait to go visit her resting place and let her know that she’s still remembered and loved.
So sorry you lost your mum like that. She will be watching over you .Please take Comfort in knowing she's with our Lord in heaven and you will see her again .
I pray that the Lord gives you strength and release you from the trauma! This is absolutely devastating and I know your mother is proud of you for staying strong! You are a true soldier guy
Absolutely ridiculous that she wasn’t even reported missing by her family and friends and that it took her SOCIAL WORKER in order for anyone to be aware of her disappearance. It was Holiday seasons and they just thought she wouldn’t reach out??
so devastating that after 53 days not a single friend or family member thought it was concerning they hadn’t heard from her, especially around the christmas/new years period and especially after the note she gave her sister begging for help
And not to mention the note that her sister ignored.. right before she went missing.. I know I can't speak on it and I'm sorry for their loss, but I can't believe that.. I feel like it could've prevented it if that note was taken seriously.
@@spaceinveda7408 yes exactly. I never mean to sound like I am putting any blame on the parents whatsoever because it was a difficult situation, but still taking in the fact her sister completely ignored a plea for help and then her mom saw her on the 15th, which they prob talked about Christmas plans and no one does anything ? Hard to wrap your head around
I cannot believe her family never reported her missing when they knew that Mitchell was abusing her. That's just disgusting. Leaving a note asking for help and it was ignored. This poor girl 😭
@@heartsoul3043 I understand what you're saying... but I'll have to respectfully disagree. If my sister slipped me a note begging for help & then I didn't hear from her for MONTHS especially around Christmas, I would report her missing or at the VERY least, ask for a wellness check to be done. I don't care how many times she went back, she had babies with this abusive piece of shit. I love my family and would do anything for them no matter what & no matter how tired of their shit I was.
you said it perfectly, the AUDACITY of this disgusting “man” to say “ for her to leave me with the kids, I wouldn’t piss on her if she was on fire” I hope he rots in prison until he goes to hell.

53 DAYS without contact and no family or friends tried reporting her missing?? and her sister taking no action on the note? its an absolutely horrific loss but all i could wonder for most of the video was how much did they really care?
As much as it’s hard to tear someone away from a toxic/abusive relationship, her family and friends failed her. They knew Mitchell was abusive. The cry for help with the note and she wasn’t heard from for 53 days? Mitchell should NEVER be released.
What I don’t understand is why the sister ignored the note knowing he was abusive and everything and how her family and friends weren’t the ones to report her missing, like…
@@RosyHeart408 girl it was a joke, did I say all husbands are murderers? Nah. Just typically in these true crime stories when they’re talking abt a married couple, 9 times outta 10 the husband did it.
It’s not even really a joke. A lot of relationships that involve marriage or cohabitation in an extremely short period of time, is usually a sign. Abusive people need to trap you quickly, because they can’t keep that mask on for too long. Live your life and do what you wanna do… But waiting a few extra months before doing any serious long-term commitments won’t do any harm and could avoid situations like this before someone is in too deep. If he’s the right one for you, he’ll respect you need time before rushing into something. Learned this the hard way.
Why not the death penalty like in America ? For me a guy like that doesn't have to suffer his whole life in jail . Get it over with , give him a lethal injection . It's a humane method
Linsey looked like the sweetest person who’s life was taken wayy too soon and it just breaks my heart to know she left such a positive impact on someone’s life that they decided to end their own because she would no longer be a part of it. RIP.
The case has left a hole in my stomach and a pain in my heart, no matter how many multiple jokes we could make about him and that hideous smile (ugh 🤢). But you know? what truly destroyed me were the words written to her children... she knew deep down the fate that awaited her and she couldn't stop it 💔 Thank you for your videos and that wonderful energy you put into them. Greetings from Mexico, Bella! 💕
I know the pain this family feels. My Mother was killed when I was 9 years old. You NEVER get over the feeling of knowing you will never see your Mom again. This breaks my heart.
I'm early enough that you might see my comment! Would you please consider doing the case of Ginger Gasaway from posey County Indiana USA? She was my cousins grandmother (on their mother's side, I'm related to their father.) It was a gruesome murder that happened when I was 8, and it still haunts me. No one ever talks about it though, so I'd love to see the case get acknowledged
I am so sorry that that happened to your family! And the fact that her murderer was LET OUT is infuriating. I think he’s back in prison now but WOW. What a disgusting person. Again, I am so sorry.
Thank you Bella for your eloquent and insightful explanation of why victims of domestic abuse often return to their abusive partners. So many people judge without understanding the complex dynamics of a manipulative, abusive relationship. Thank you for your wise word, understanding and respect for the victim.
as a survivor of domestic abuse, i appreciate the insight you have and that you took the time to share about the immense hold an abuser has over their victim and the invisible chains they have them locked in. even as a survivor, i find it difficult to know how to articulate and explain this. from my standpoint, i feel that you did a phenomenal job of getting this across in this video such a heartbreaking end to lindsay's story. her family will be very grateful for you sharing the link to sign the petition - because nobody should have to live in fear the way her children and family do.
i live quite close to where this case took place and there’s something so different about listening to a case that is more local, thank you for covering this
Even when I was in an abusive 4 1/2 year relationship and cut off contact with my family, they found ways to contact me, they always sent me birthday cards and they tried to phone me, when I phoned my mum crying that he was abusive and she was right, she took me right in, comforted and loved me even though I’d put her through absolute hell.
Oh my god, her diary entries about her love for her kids absolutely shattered my heart. I can’t imagine the emotions they felt reading that for the first time and what it meant to them once they became parents themselves.
Haven’t watched the story yet, just came to say Bella I hope everything is ok. I know it’s rough talking about true crime. But you are usually upbeat when talking about casetify at least lol sending love! We missed you!
I don't get how the brother helped him with moving and cutting her up like wouldn't any rational human say no and call the police even if they were a sibling or family member.
This was specifically such a hard case to listen to because her family and friends failed her repeatedly. The fact that he even got life in prison with the possibility of parole is insane given the fact that he dismembered her body and most likely even plotted to kill her for a while before he actually did it. Also, the way he was behaving throughout the investigation and trial?! Insane. No remorse whatsoever. He will most definitely kill again if he’s let out. I just hope Lynsey is resting 💔
I am an advocate for a Domestic Violence Center where I live. Thank you so much for trying to advocate and teach about why victims of abuse done leave or go back to their abuser. We see it too often that the blame is placed on the victim, and videos like this are amazing ways to teach about the reality of abuse. Thank you so much.
Lindsey seemed like a beautiful sweet soul who wanted love and a family, being a survivor I understand how hard it is to leave. I hope she’s resting beautifully
This story just tears my heart to pieces. Any story with little babies involved is so gut wrenching. I can’t even imagine being without my mom. I just want to go back in time and hug them and give them all the love and life this world has to offer. I’m truly gutted.
Definitely. Someone who does everything to win you over before the relationship even starts is just an abuser trying to secure their victim. People, take it slow, let your sweetheart sweep you off your feet slow and gentle. Don't let then yank you off your feet and start running with you over their shoulder. Take it slow and if the other person doesn't relent, then distance yourself. 20% of the time theyre just awkward and following youtube dating advice while 80% of the time their compensating for a toxic flaw that will reveal itself once they feel like you're under their control.
As soon as you said about a petition, I signed it straight away. How on earth people like that are ever eligible for parole baffles me. Its incredibly insensitive and just wrong, love and hugs go out to the family. What is the point in getting justice when you still have to live everyday, worrying that monster will one day just be able to be out and free. Just breaks my heart :(
That Mitchell is a disgusting creep for what he did to Lynsey and the fact that he laughed and joked about Lynsey being missing shows much of a disrespectful monster he is which infuriates me. Also he doesn't even care how much pain he has caused towards Lynsey's family as well as causing his children to grow up without their mother and I hope that loser never gets released from prison.
There’s a good episode of “Faking it: Tears of a crime” about this case. Mitchel had it in for the lead investigator because he publicly said he thought it was Mitchel. Mitchel reached out numerous times to meet the lead detective who said that he would only ever meet Mitchel when he was coming to charge him with the murder.
The way you keep the delivery so sharp is really impressive, massively inspiring for us new true crimers to keep growing, massively hats off to you, love your work
bella, I am 1/2 way thru this video just about now and honestly this is one of the hardest cases I’ve watched. Being in a former abusive relationship myself I understand how hard it is to cut someone like that out of your life. This is very eye opening because it could have been me.
I'm new here, been binge watching the hell outta your videos, they're just that great, and as soon as I saw this notification I was just super excited 😊 I'm sick rn, so this definitely made things better for sure!
I just want to say how much I enjoy all of your videos. I came across your channel about a week ago and since then I have been watching your videos, while I do my make up, drive to work and even listen to you when I have a hard time sleeping. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re amazing at it :)
Wow his brother used his "expertise" as a butcher 2 help dismember her?! That's sum sick, twisted, unbelievable thing 2 do 2 a human being! Lock his ass up with NO chance of parole EVER!! Glad her kids r ok. I can't find the petition 2 sign!
Please be careful out there! I was a vicim of domestic abuse for a long time. I was love bombed at a young age and got engaged too soon. I am lucky to have escaped him, but it can easily escalate. Get out as soon as you safely can.
This case is so heartbreaking. I think her poor brother was dealing with guilt alongside the grief. It is baffling that this happened in Southport - so close to home
I’m six minutes in and this whole time I’m thinking “this guys looks SO familiar.” Right when you said he looks like Frankenstein I LOST ITTT. He absolutely does, oh my gosh. 😭 Side note: I’m absolutely disgusted that the system would even consider letting this guy out. Like, HE WAS ON FUCKING TV showing no signs of remorse. Do they SERIOUSLY believe he won’t do this again? Fucks sake.
I’m at work and I was looking for another video and you blessed me with another video💕 thank you so much your videos are awesome I love listening to your videos
@@angelaozz Exactly. I was 16 and talking to a older person who made comments about me not being old enough for them and sexualizing me, I liked them so much I overlooked the grooming. You can't blame the victim for how the other person acted. Infatuation and being charmed can blind you.
my biggest question is why didn't her family report her missing???? they knew the situation she was in. as someone who has been in abusive relationships, i can see how being on the outside and constantly helping the person get out and have them go back can be frustrating. it seems like they are just starting over, however it isn't that simple. the power the abuser has on the person is immense and they are so good at pulling the person back in. statistically, people return to their abuser on average 7 times before leaving for good and each time it becomes more and more dangerous for them because the abuser can feel their power slipping and the abuse starts to escalate. no matter how frustrating, please stand by the person being abused. they will leave when they are ready but until then getting frustrated and leaving them will only make them feel more alone and isolated and make it harder for them. there are resources for people who have a loved one in an abusive relationship as well
You can't expect people to give up their whole life trying to help someone who goes back to the abuser every time. They will give up after a while and concentrate on their own mental health and wellbeing. Trying to help a victim can be unhealthy for the helpers too.
Honestly just think if you are her family member and this pattern repeats for several times what you will do or think? They must have think its same old routine and she will get back to him anytime as usual. I think its not fair to blame the family. They tried to help her but she failed to help herself.
Omg, this hit SO close to home for me: my ex started out with massive love-bombing (which unfortunately I was too young and naive to recognize at the time) and moved on to abuse and gaslighting. I feel so lucky to have gotten away, but my heart breaks for Lynsey and all the women like her. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her! 💔
And Bella, you just made my skin crawl!! I get sleep paralysis, and now I'm going to be SO scared that next time it happens I'll be seeing Mitchell lurking in the corner clutching a beer and glowering at me! Eeeek! 😱😱😱 "Gross" is definitely the right word for him- as far as I'm concerned, you can't say it enough! Ugh!
Bella I'm so glad you said something saying how ugly he was. I don't feel so bad now. The second I saw him I actually yelled out Eeeeesh! 😂. But domestic violence I like to call it the spell. I've worked with clients, or had loved ones, friends, that were in DV or intimate violence relationships. Some of them were even involved in law enforcement or Human Services where they worked DV cases. And they still could not see themselves a DV relationship. They couldn't see themselves being in danger. No matter how much rationality you try to talk to them. It's like they're under a spell. That's why I call it the spell.
Being under a spell is the perfect description. I'm a survivor of DV and it's difficult to explain to people who have never been in that situation why DV victims stay with their abusers.
@@rebeccacrash9272 I once knew a girl who was police officer she would arrest people for the same thing. she was in a domestic violence marriage but she couldn't see it. That's why I called the spell for sure. And I think it isn't until you can get survivors to leave enough and give enough space for them to get perspective. It doesn't always work. The average survivor has to leave 6-7 times before she or he leaves officially. But I'm really proud of you and I'm glad you're a safe place right now.
Wow, that outburst he had was nuts! I have BPD and admittedly, I’ve thrown things when I’m angry (alone and not at anyone obviously). But I don’t think I’ve even been angry enough to want to break all the windows in my house. Let alone having the lack of impulse to actually do it. Crazy. I wish she could have gotten out sooner but I understand that abusers have a hold on you.
Hey, Bella. Thank you SO much for calling out Mitchell's lovebombing! When you were describing their "whirlwind" romance I kept saying "red flag, red flag, red flag... ". I think it's so important to expose narcissistic tactics and narcissists themselves.
Wow the fact that he is with the kids after he killed their mother - there should be a law that puts the children with other family members, even if its just "suspiciom"
my mom was in a marriage like this and is still married to the guy but they've been separated for 2 years now. I used to be terrified, absolutely TERRIFIED, that her story would end up like this. but thank God it didn't. may Lynsey rest peacefully in paradise
I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK EVEN IF YOU MISS A WEEK I’M DEVASTATED😂 SIGNED THE PETITION!! PRAYING HE NEVER GETS OUT! YOU SEEM TO BE A LITTLE DOWN BELLA MAYBE IN WRONG BUT I HOPE YOUR HAPPY YOU DESERVE ALL THE BEST💛🙏🏼💛
Thank you so much for making this video. This is so important especially with the petition to keep this monster inside the prison. Thank you for pointing out that it is not her fault. I know it can be hard to understand for someone who has never experienced it, for me it is, but it is no excuse to abuse and murder someone.
I feel so sad for Lynsey 🥺 her as a naive and vulnerable pregnant teen falling into this abuser’s trap. It seems like her home life was not so well either 😢
do you think you might be able to cover the “Bodies in the Suitcase” case that’s just happened in New Zealand at some point in the future once the whole thing is settled? I feel like those poor babies deserve to be heard about
I will be signing forsure. Absolutely disgusting that he even has parole right now! He should never be let out and be able to live another life while this family will have to live with this for the rest of their lives. And the fact that another life was taken because of this monsters actions is just so heartbreaking. My heart goes out to her family and friends I am so deeply sorry for your losses. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Bella for doing this case. Lyndsay seems to be forgotten here in the UK now and not many you tubers will cover this case. I am really pleased you have chosen this case to cover. Lyndsay should never be forgotten. Thanks again. ❤️
Watching this reminds me of Chris Watt's personality and how he tried to get away with murdering his children and wife. The only reason they were able to convict Chris Watss was technology like the Ring and neighbor security cameras. But really the identical traits this guy has to Chris Watt is unsettling.
I never knew this case was set so close to home for me, I also live in birkdale, thank you for covering this case, just shocked her sister didn’t do anything with the note and that her family didn’t even report her as missing 💔
Hi dear Bella, I really appreciate your videos, I think you’re so good at presenting the different cases. No matter how *unlovely* the people in these different cases you talk about are, you manage to deliver each case in an unique way, you keep it real, but you make it manageable for me to keep listening to every videos you upload ❤️ (English isn’t my first language so I apologize in advance for any misspellings- and/or grammar mistakes) With kindness, respect & love 💕 , GraceGoogh
He reminds me a lot of my ex (not in appearance but the way he talks and is so entitled about everything) and I can imagine exactly what she was going through as this happened to me 2 yrs ago, my ex ran after me with a knife after I said I wanted to break up and the only thing that saved me was convincing him that I loved him and had changed my mind. WARNING ⚠️ if you are ever in this situation DO NOT CONFRONT HIM, ask for help and go somewhere safe before breaking up! I was so lucky that my family and friends came to rescue me bc it got to the point where he was locking me at home, taking my car and destroying my phone chip so I couldn’t go anywhere. Be safe
This story has some of the most ridiculous details, one odd thing after another. Each more crazy than the last. I hate to down a family who lost a loved one but wtf was wrong with them? She must have felt so all alone.
I get being frustrated by her going back to him but no matter how I feel about my siblings choice to stay or leave their partner, if I get a note asking for help to get out I'm gonna help, especially knowing their history. I also can't believe her family didn't report her missing, it's so sad.
I’ve seen it so much where the victim continues to see her violent partner. What is it that’s so appealing? It’s a cycle. Honestly everyone failed her. She was gone for that long and no one knew this? Where were her loving parents? Please please check on your married girls and talk to them. On the side note Bella reminds me so much of Mila Kunis!
@Pops "She chose to be a victim" Let's not blame her for him killing her. She was in love with someone and was unable to comprehend that his strange bouts of anger could transform into such a gruesome murder. She was kindhearted and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
@Pops please do some research on domestic violence. when you get into a relationship with someone during a vulnerable period in your life, in this case being so young and pregnant, it is so easy for them to manipulate you as well as make you dependent on them for support. abusers are also experts at making you believe they’ve changed and won’t do it again, and making you feel like you’d be the bad person for not giving them another chance. not to mention she had a kid with the guy, which is an easy point of manipulation. if it was so easy to leave abusers, abuse wouldn’t exist. but even the most intelligent people can become trapped in that cycle. the risk of violence actually increases the moment you try to leave. but of course, judging by the tone of your comment you don’t know any of this or you would have empathy. this woman did not deserve to be abused and she did not deserve to die.
@Pops no one chooses to be a victim.. You really should educate yourself on abusive dynamics. To say this about a murder victim makes you sound ignorant.
@Pops Nope, she was a victim because he chose to victimize and dehumanize her. It’s not on her to make him stop. She was trapped, manipulated, threatened and terrified. It’s easy from the outside to say “she should have made better choices.” When you’re in it, as I’ve been, it’s never that simple or even a safe choice to make. Claiming she could have stopped the situation is like saying, if she wasn’t drinking; if she wasn’t walking home alone; if she wasn’t wearing that outfit. To listen to this story and judge her more than him-the actual abuser and murderer- is gross
@Pops It’s empowerment to give victims empathy, and help them reclaim their autonomy and become free. It’s not empowerment to expect them to be able to escape abuse and murder, and imply that they did something wrong if they couldn’t
This case was so heartbraking, how did her family not know she was gone before the socialworker? And he is one of the worst killers ever, just smirking and being just obnoxious
I know what is like to lose a sister much like this family did. This case hit very very very close to home for me. My sister bf/ father of her kids, only got 11 years, even though he committed first degree murder. He only served 8 years. My families hands were tied. I pray this family is able to get the signatures they need. I signed the petition.
Bella I love how honest you are "he is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life" my thoughts exactly

What is roflmao
@@hlw_art Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.
He's a serial liat. Do you actually believe he slept with loads of women?😆😆
I don't!
Bella: so within a week they were enga-
Me: THE HUSBAND DID IT
Yep! Every time!!
@@RosyHeart408 its a joke
@@RosyHeart408 girl it was a joke, did I say all husbands are murderers? Nah. Just typically in these true crime stories when they’re talking abt a married couple, 9 times outta 10 the husband did it.
It’s not even really a joke. A lot of relationships that involve marriage or cohabitation in an extremely short period of time, is usually a sign. Abusive people need to trap you quickly, because they can’t keep that mask on for too long.
Live your life and do what you wanna do… But waiting a few extra months before doing any serious long-term commitments won’t do any harm and could avoid situations like this before someone is in too deep. If he’s the right one for you, he’ll respect you need time before rushing into something. Learned this the hard way.
When you dismember a body you should never ever ever be allowed parole ! He needs to rot in solitary confinement !
Why not the death penalty like in America ? For me a guy like that doesn't have to suffer his whole life in jail . Get it over with , give him a lethal injection . It's a humane method
She must’ve been an amazing sister. For her poor brother to not be able to recover from losing her…so sad for the whole family!
Linsey looked like the sweetest person who’s life was taken wayy too soon and it just breaks my heart to know she left such a positive impact on someone’s life that they decided to end their own because she would no longer be a part of it. RIP.
The case has left a hole in my stomach and a pain in my heart, no matter how many multiple jokes we could make about him and that hideous smile (ugh 🤢).
But you know? what truly destroyed me were the words written to her children... she knew deep down the fate that awaited her and she couldn't stop it 💔
Thank you for your videos and that wonderful energy you put into them.
Greetings from Mexico, Bella! 💕
"I don't want to insult poor Frankenstein" 😂
That had m cracking up 🤣🤣
I know the pain this family feels. My Mother was killed when I was 9 years old. You NEVER get over the feeling of knowing you will never see your Mom again. This breaks my heart.
I am so sorry, may your mama rest easy🥺.
I'm early enough that you might see my comment! Would you please consider doing the case of Ginger Gasaway from posey County Indiana USA? She was my cousins grandmother (on their mother's side, I'm related to their father.) It was a gruesome murder that happened when I was 8, and it still haunts me. No one ever talks about it though, so I'd love to see the case get acknowledged
I am so sorry that that happened to your family! And the fact that her murderer was LET OUT is infuriating. I think he’s back in prison now but WOW. What a disgusting person. Again, I am so sorry.
Commenting to boost!
I hope you help get the coverage this deserves, so sorry you and your family had/have to go through that.
You could try asking Gabulosis as well. She only does older cases and is also fantastic!
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Thank you Bella for your eloquent and insightful explanation of why victims of domestic abuse often return to their abusive partners. So many people judge without understanding the complex dynamics of a manipulative, abusive relationship. Thank you for your wise word, understanding and respect for the victim.
as a survivor of domestic abuse, i appreciate the insight you have and that you took the time to share about the immense hold an abuser has over their victim and the invisible chains they have them locked in. even as a survivor, i find it difficult to know how to articulate and explain this. from my standpoint, i feel that you did a phenomenal job of getting this across in this video
such a heartbreaking end to lindsay's story. her family will be very grateful for you sharing the link to sign the petition - because nobody should have to live in fear the way her children and family do.
i live quite close to where this case took place and there’s something so different about listening to a case that is more local, thank you for covering this
“Sleep paralysis demon” x_x You are the best story teller.
I loved this description as well!
Im calling everyone I despise my "sleep paralysis demon" from now on
Even when I was in an abusive 4 1/2 year relationship and cut off contact with my family, they found ways to contact me, they always sent me birthday cards and they tried to phone me, when I phoned my mum crying that he was abusive and she was right, she took me right in, comforted and loved me even though I’d put her through absolute hell.
Oh my god, her diary entries about her love for her kids absolutely shattered my heart. I can’t imagine the emotions they felt reading that for the first time and what it meant to them once they became parents themselves.
My heartbreaks for her parents, losing both of your children ugh I can not even fathom their pain.
Haven’t watched the story yet, just came to say Bella I hope everything is ok. I know it’s rough talking about true crime. But you are usually upbeat when talking about casetify at least lol sending love! We missed you!
thank you, appreciate you 🫶🏼 i’m okay! just want to be respectful to Lynsey’s case
I thought i was the only one that noticed 🤭
@@bellafiori You're a darling 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking the same. 🤍
I was thinking the same thing!!!
I don't get how the brother helped him with moving and cutting her up like wouldn't any rational human say no and call the police even if they were a sibling or family member.
I'm more surprised he didn't get more time in jail as well, he help dismember someone 😖
he was clearly a narcissist. An absolute perfect example of a very dangerous one.
I think he (allegedly) was a narcissist, too. 🙃
A piece of crap who should never be released.
This was specifically such a hard case to listen to because her family and friends failed her repeatedly. The fact that he even got life in prison with the possibility of parole is insane given the fact that he dismembered her body and most likely even plotted to kill her for a while before he actually did it. Also, the way he was behaving throughout the investigation and trial?! Insane. No remorse whatsoever. He will most definitely kill again if he’s let out. I just hope Lynsey is resting 💔
I am an advocate for a Domestic Violence Center where I live. Thank you so much for trying to advocate and teach about why victims of abuse done leave or go back to their abuser. We see it too often that the blame is placed on the victim, and videos like this are amazing ways to teach about the reality of abuse. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Bella, for the thought and respect you have ensured when discussing domestic violence. 💛
Beautiful Bella. Thank you for another case. Your calm voice even with hard stories is so soothing. Thank you for all you do!
Lindsey seemed like a beautiful sweet soul who wanted love and a family, being a survivor I understand how hard it is to leave. I hope she’s resting beautifully
This story just tears my heart to pieces. Any story with little babies involved is so gut wrenching. I can’t even imagine being without my mom. I just want to go back in time and hug them and give them all the love and life this world has to offer. I’m truly gutted.
if someone rushes that quick into a relationship it’s suspicious as hell
Definitely. Someone who does everything to win you over before the relationship even starts is just an abuser trying to secure their victim. People, take it slow, let your sweetheart sweep you off your feet slow and gentle. Don't let then yank you off your feet and start running with you over their shoulder.
Take it slow and if the other person doesn't relent, then distance yourself. 20% of the time theyre just awkward and following youtube dating advice while 80% of the time their compensating for a toxic flaw that will reveal itself once they feel like you're under their control.
As soon as you said about a petition, I signed it straight away. How on earth people like that are ever eligible for parole baffles me. Its incredibly insensitive and just wrong, love and hugs go out to the family. What is the point in getting justice when you still have to live everyday, worrying that monster will one day just be able to be out and free. Just breaks my heart :(
That Mitchell is a disgusting creep for what he did to Lynsey and the fact that he laughed and joked about Lynsey being missing shows much of a disrespectful monster he is which infuriates me. Also he doesn't even care how much pain he has caused towards Lynsey's family as well as causing his children to grow up without their mother and I hope that loser never gets released from prison.
We also have to remember how young she was. When I was that young, when anyone is that young, we make mistankes and get confused
There’s a good episode of “Faking it: Tears of a crime” about this case. Mitchel had it in for the lead investigator because he publicly said he thought it was Mitchel. Mitchel reached out numerous times to meet the lead detective who said that he would only ever meet Mitchel when he was coming to charge him with the murder.
The way you keep the delivery so sharp is really impressive, massively inspiring for us new true crimers to keep growing, massively hats off to you, love your work
The petition only needs 13,500 more signatures. I know we can do that ✍🏼✍🏼✍🏼
only about 7 or 8 thousand now, its creeping up!
@@aye70aye 6k more!
I said it before but I really want your take on the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez so interesting. Please Bella!🥺🥺
bella, I am 1/2 way thru this video just about now and honestly this is one of the hardest cases I’ve watched. Being in a former abusive relationship myself I understand how hard it is to cut someone like that out of your life. This is very eye opening because it could have been me.
I'm new here, been binge watching the hell outta your videos, they're just that great, and as soon as I saw this notification I was just super excited 😊 I'm sick rn, so this definitely made things better for sure!
I just want to say how much I enjoy all of your videos. I came across your channel about a week ago and since then I have been watching your videos, while I do my make up, drive to work and even listen to you when I have a hard time sleeping. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re amazing at it :)
Wow his brother used his "expertise" as a butcher 2 help dismember her?! That's sum sick, twisted, unbelievable thing 2 do 2 a human being! Lock his ass up with NO chance of parole EVER!! Glad her kids r ok. I can't find the petition 2 sign!
The Petition is in the description
Please be careful out there! I was a vicim of domestic abuse for a long time. I was love bombed at a young age and got engaged too soon. I am lucky to have escaped him, but it can easily escalate. Get out as soon as you safely can.
Omg the timing for this video is perfect, I'm no longer bored :)
This case is so heartbreaking. I think her poor brother was dealing with guilt alongside the grief.
It is baffling that this happened in Southport - so close to home
IM SO GLAD YOU SAID HE LOOKED LIKE FRANKENSTEIN!!! My thoughts exactly. Love you bella, thankyou for doing these videos.
I know this case already but didn't know there was a petition which I am immediately signing so thanks for using your platform to help her family!
I’m six minutes in and this whole time I’m thinking “this guys looks SO familiar.” Right when you said he looks like Frankenstein I LOST ITTT. He absolutely does, oh my gosh. 😭
Side note: I’m absolutely disgusted that the system would even consider letting this guy out. Like, HE WAS ON FUCKING TV showing no signs of remorse. Do they SERIOUSLY believe he won’t do this again? Fucks sake.
I’m at work and I was looking for another video and you blessed me with another video💕 thank you so much your videos are awesome I love listening to your videos
I’m so shocked that she would marry him after a week of dating. Unbelievable
Why is everyone being so blamey in the comments???????? When you see yourself falling for someone you can't help what happens
@@jessklaroliner8758 exactly. how was she supposed to know what would happen to her? 😕
@@angelaozz Exactly. I was 16 and talking to a older person who made comments about me not being old enough for them and sexualizing me, I liked them so much I overlooked the grooming. You can't blame the victim for how the other person acted. Infatuation and being charmed can blind you.
@@jessklaroliner8758 you can't help falling in love but you can absolutely can control your actions.
i’m more shocked that he abused and murdered her really
Thank you for getting this case out there. Im glad that we can help keep this family feeling safe.
my biggest question is why didn't her family report her missing???? they knew the situation she was in. as someone who has been in abusive relationships, i can see how being on the outside and constantly helping the person get out and have them go back can be frustrating. it seems like they are just starting over, however it isn't that simple. the power the abuser has on the person is immense and they are so good at pulling the person back in. statistically, people return to their abuser on average 7 times before leaving for good and each time it becomes more and more dangerous for them because the abuser can feel their power slipping and the abuse starts to escalate. no matter how frustrating, please stand by the person being abused. they will leave when they are ready but until then getting frustrated and leaving them will only make them feel more alone and isolated and make it harder for them. there are resources for people who have a loved one in an abusive relationship as well
You can't expect people to give up their whole life trying to help someone who goes back to the abuser every time. They will give up after a while and concentrate on their own mental health and wellbeing. Trying to help a victim can be unhealthy for the helpers too.
Honestly just think if you are her family member and this pattern repeats for several times what you will do or think? They must have think its same old routine and she will get back to him anytime as usual. I think its not fair to blame the family. They tried to help her but she failed to help herself.
Omg, this hit SO close to home for me: my ex started out with massive love-bombing (which unfortunately I was too young and naive to recognize at the time) and moved on to abuse and gaslighting. I feel so lucky to have gotten away, but my heart breaks for Lynsey and all the women like her.
May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her! 💔
And Bella, you just made my skin crawl!! I get sleep paralysis, and now I'm going to be SO scared that next time it happens I'll be seeing Mitchell lurking in the corner clutching a beer and glowering at me! Eeeek! 😱😱😱
"Gross" is definitely the right word for him- as far as I'm concerned, you can't say it enough! Ugh!
“but i don’t wana insult poor frankenstein” 😂😩 bella is so adorable. RIP Lynsey🙏🏼❤️
You're absolutely my new favorite true crime UA-camr. Im appalled that i just discovered you!!
I laughed so hard when you said “pardon me” and compared him to Frankenstein lmao. What a MONSTER.
Your hair your attitude your accent I'm OBSESSED 😭😭
The wording in her book leads to believe that she knew she wouldn’t be there to give the book to her children …. So sad
Bella.. I love you. You touch on important cases and make them informational, yet entertaining. thank you for being here hehe
Yay! It’s always a good day when Bella uploads 🫶🏼
I feel so bad for the parents. The trauma this man has caused to everyone In her family is unfathomable. RIP Lindsey.
Bella I'm so glad you said something saying how ugly he was. I don't feel so bad now. The second I saw him I actually yelled out Eeeeesh! 😂.
But domestic violence I like to call it the spell. I've worked with clients, or had loved ones, friends, that were in DV or intimate violence relationships. Some of them were even involved in law enforcement or Human Services where they worked DV cases. And they still could not see themselves a DV relationship. They couldn't see themselves being in danger. No matter how much rationality you try to talk to them. It's like they're under a spell. That's why I call it the spell.
Being under a spell is the perfect description. I'm a survivor of DV and it's difficult to explain to people who have never been in that situation why DV victims stay with their abusers.
@@rebeccacrash9272 I once knew a girl who was police officer she would arrest people for the same thing. she was in a domestic violence marriage but she couldn't see it. That's why I called the spell for sure. And I think it isn't until you can get survivors to leave enough and give enough space for them to get perspective. It doesn't always work. The average survivor has to leave 6-7 times before she or he leaves officially. But I'm really proud of you and I'm glad you're a safe place right now.
Wow, that outburst he had was nuts! I have BPD and admittedly, I’ve thrown things when I’m angry (alone and not at anyone obviously). But I don’t think I’ve even been angry enough to want to break all the windows in my house. Let alone having the lack of impulse to actually do it. Crazy. I wish she could have gotten out sooner but I understand that abusers have a hold on you.
Thank you for providing the link for the petition! He deserves to rot in hell with every other man who ever abused a woman!
Hey, Bella. Thank you SO much for calling out Mitchell's lovebombing! When you were describing their "whirlwind" romance I kept saying "red flag, red flag, red flag... ". I think it's so important to expose narcissistic tactics and narcissists themselves.
I think he's (allegedly) a narcissist, too. 👎
Love you Bella!!! Thank you for your hard work!
Omg!! I thought the exact same thing when I first saw his photo!! You literally took the words right out of my mouth!! Love you Bella!! ❤️
Wow the fact that he is with the kids after he killed their mother - there should be a law that puts the children with other family members, even if its just "suspiciom"
That would make no sense, you would need for someone to be charged with something 1st
my mom was in a marriage like this and is still married to the guy but they've been separated for 2 years now. I used to be terrified, absolutely TERRIFIED, that her story would end up like this. but thank God it didn't. may Lynsey rest peacefully in paradise
I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK EVEN IF YOU MISS A WEEK I’M DEVASTATED😂 SIGNED THE PETITION!! PRAYING HE NEVER GETS OUT! YOU SEEM TO BE A LITTLE DOWN BELLA MAYBE IN WRONG BUT I HOPE YOUR HAPPY YOU DESERVE ALL THE BEST💛🙏🏼💛
Thank you so much for making this video. This is so important especially with the petition to keep this monster inside the prison.
Thank you for pointing out that it is not her fault. I know it can be hard to understand for someone who has never experienced it, for me it is, but it is no excuse to abuse and murder someone.
Never been this early but I can’t wait to hear this story!!!
i live where this happened and this is legit a horror story we get told growing up, it’s crazy. thank you so much for covering it
I feel so sad for Lynsey 🥺 her as a naive and vulnerable pregnant teen falling into this abuser’s trap. It seems like her home life was not so well either 😢
do you think you might be able to cover the “Bodies in the Suitcase” case that’s just happened in New Zealand at some point in the future once the whole thing is settled? I feel like those poor babies deserve to be heard about
I will be signing forsure. Absolutely disgusting that he even has parole right now! He should never be let out and be able to live another life while this family will have to live with this for the rest of their lives. And the fact that another life was taken because of this monsters actions is just so heartbreaking. My heart goes out to her family and friends I am so deeply sorry for your losses. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love your work Bella! Love and light from Christchurch New Zealand 💕
Thank you Bella for doing this case.
Lyndsay seems to be forgotten here in the UK now and not many you tubers will cover this case.
I am really pleased you have chosen this case to cover.
Lyndsay should never be forgotten. Thanks again. ❤️
Watching this reminds me of Chris Watt's personality and how he tried to get away with murdering his children and wife. The only reason they were able to convict Chris Watss was technology like the Ring and neighbor security cameras.
But really the identical traits this guy has to Chris Watt is unsettling.
I never knew this case was set so close to home for me, I also live in birkdale, thank you for covering this case, just shocked her sister didn’t do anything with the note and that her family didn’t even report her as missing 💔
Hi dear Bella, I really appreciate your videos, I think you’re so good at presenting the different cases. No matter how *unlovely* the people in these different cases you talk about are, you manage to deliver each case in an unique way, you keep it real, but you make it manageable for me to keep listening to every videos you upload ❤️ (English isn’t my first language so I apologize in advance for any misspellings- and/or grammar mistakes)
With kindness, respect & love 💕 , GraceGoogh
thank you angel, i appreciate you endlessly! 🫶🏼
@@bellafiori likewise 🫶
That's what makes these crimes even more horrific, what a stunningly beautiful girl says about them!
He reminds me a lot of my ex (not in appearance but the way he talks and is so entitled about everything) and I can imagine exactly what she was going through as this happened to me 2 yrs ago, my ex ran after me with a knife after I said I wanted to break up and the only thing that saved me was convincing him that I loved him and had changed my mind. WARNING ⚠️ if you are ever in this situation DO NOT CONFRONT HIM, ask for help and go somewhere safe before breaking up! I was so lucky that my family and friends came to rescue me bc it got to the point where he was locking me at home, taking my car and destroying my phone chip so I couldn’t go anywhere. Be safe
unfortunately this is not an isolated case and happens everyday everywhere
This was a great video Bella! You said so many things perfectly.
i would’ve immediately drove back over there after seeing that note omg
You nailed a Narcissist: the love bombing, gaslighting, getting their ego needs fed by breaking down their partner or family member type thing.
This story has some of the most ridiculous details, one odd thing after another. Each more crazy than the last. I hate to down a family who lost a loved one but wtf was wrong with them? She must have felt so all alone.
Bella you are so consistent with your murder mysteries i appreciate it soooo much you’re an angel bless🙏🏼❤️
I get being frustrated by her going back to him but no matter how I feel about my siblings choice to stay or leave their partner, if I get a note asking for help to get out I'm gonna help, especially knowing their history. I also can't believe her family didn't report her missing, it's so sad.
Thank you Bella for using your platform to share petitions, you are an amazing human ❤️ from a kiwi fan ❤️
I’ve seen it so much where the victim continues to see her violent partner. What is it that’s so appealing? It’s a cycle. Honestly everyone failed her. She was gone for that long and no one knew this? Where were her loving parents? Please please check on your married girls and talk to them. On the side note Bella reminds me so much of Mila Kunis!
@Pops "She chose to be a victim" Let's not blame her for him killing her. She was in love with someone and was unable to comprehend that his strange bouts of anger could transform into such a gruesome murder. She was kindhearted and gave him the benefit of the doubt.
@Pops please do some research on domestic violence. when you get into a relationship with someone during a vulnerable period in your life, in this case being so young and pregnant, it is so easy for them to manipulate you as well as make you dependent on them for support. abusers are also experts at making you believe they’ve changed and won’t do it again, and making you feel like you’d be the bad person for not giving them another chance. not to mention she had a kid with the guy, which is an easy point of manipulation. if it was so easy to leave abusers, abuse wouldn’t exist. but even the most intelligent people can become trapped in that cycle. the risk of violence actually increases the moment you try to leave. but of course, judging by the tone of your comment you don’t know any of this or you would have empathy. this woman did not deserve to be abused and she did not deserve to die.
@Pops no one chooses to be a victim.. You really should educate yourself on abusive dynamics. To say this about a murder victim makes you sound ignorant.
@Pops Nope, she was a victim because he chose to victimize and dehumanize her. It’s not on her to make him stop. She was trapped, manipulated, threatened and terrified. It’s easy from the outside to say “she should have made better choices.” When you’re in it, as I’ve been, it’s never that simple or even a safe choice to make. Claiming she could have stopped the situation is like saying, if she wasn’t drinking; if she wasn’t walking home alone; if she wasn’t wearing that outfit. To listen to this story and judge her more than him-the actual abuser and murderer- is gross
@Pops It’s empowerment to give victims empathy, and help them reclaim their autonomy and become free. It’s not empowerment to expect them to be able to escape abuse and murder, and imply that they did something wrong if they couldn’t
Thank you so much for covering this case and for sharing the link with us so we can sign the petition !
This case was so heartbraking, how did her family not know she was gone before the socialworker? And he is one of the worst killers ever, just smirking and being just obnoxious
I know what is like to lose a sister much like this family did. This case hit very very very close to home for me. My sister bf/ father of her kids, only got 11 years, even though he committed first degree murder. He only served 8 years. My families hands were tied. I pray this family is able to get the signatures they need. I signed the petition.
