- THE MURDER OF JERSEY BRIDGEMAN!
In 2011, a young Arkansan girl escaped abuse at the hands of her stepmother and drug-abusing
father. Back in the full time care of her loving mother, she began putting the past behind her and
was enjoying a happy childhood. But that all changed when a predator, hiding in plain sight,
entered her world. This is the tragic story of a young life, marred by abuse, cut brutally short.
This is the murder of Jersey Bridgeman

I have heard of so many kids being abused because they "steal" food. A child should always be allowed to eat when they're hungry, they are never "stealing" food.
In an effort to add levity... my son would STEAL food. That boy would creep through the house and eat EVERYTHING. He once ate 7 pounds of chocolate from his sister's kindergarten valentines cards. He is 15 now... we gave up and just bought him his own fridge. I swear he has a hollow leg... eating was and is like a hobby to him. Luckily, NOW he chooses healthy foods to eat constantly.
On a serious note, though, I agree that children do not "steal" food when they are hungry. They eat what they can get their hands on, anything to make their hunger lessen. It is heartbreaking to hear cases where a child is so hungry that they have to sneak food.
Yeah I agree. I know someone who's kids ask permission for EVERYTHING, they can't have crisps or a snack without asking and because of that, the snacks in my home are easy accessible to my son. He has his own little drawer in the fridge with his yoghurts and things, he knows that if he wants a snack, he can have one (unless I'm making dinner 😂 ) but I never want my child to feel like they need to ask me to eat, this is his home and he feels so comfortable in this home that he can help himself and that's what I want.
@@XjaXemX Lol! Thanks for sharing! And agree!
Couldn’t agree anymore. We have a rule in this house. If your hungry or thirsty you don’t need to ask. Even when the kids friends come round and ask. I always replied our home is your home help yourself you don’t need to ask.
I always yell this at the television! There is NO SUCH THING AS STEALING FOOD! Even if your child is overeating, there are easy ways to make sure they get on track and you can always have healthy foods available. I've heard the argument that the child was overweight, so the fridge and cabinets are locked. No. Never. Get off your ass and get to the root of your child's needs. In these cases, though, it's usually/obviously because the child is being starved. It's such a sickening element of abuse. No child is ever stealing food.
I was actually a friend of Jersey. I grew up right next to her and our parents were friends. I appreciate you covering this story.
I was emotionally (and sometimes physically) abused as a child throughout my teens and no one listened to me. I really appreciate you bringing a voice to this Emma
I'm sorry you had to go through all that. You are a survivor. 💖
😢😢💔💔❤️❤️
Emma's righteous maternal anger is second to none ❤
Truly. And I live for it.
Agreed. Hands down.
Wonderful as a UA-camr she could have had a career in modelling so gorgeous
I really hope that Desaree has left her "best friend" in the dust after she turned and supported her murdering, child abusing husband. Rest easy sweet Jersey. Your killer is behind bars.
I NEVER SUPPORTED ZACHARY IN ANY WAY. AS SOON AS HE CONFESSED, I FILED FOR DIVORCE 😡🤬
@@amandahines-britner7704Weren’t you on his side when he filed an appeal?
As someone who has suffered with BPD depression & anxiety since I was 13 years old knows that NONE of that gives me a free past for my choice of actions and if you are “well” enough to lie about your actions then you KNOW what you did was wrong therefore any free passes are null & void - rest in peace sweet Jersey, I pray your sweet soul finally knows nothing but peace & love and will be reunited with your mom & little sister again ❤️ #JusticeForJersey
Luv❤
I’ve got same illness I didn’t get a chance to raise my child. She’s with her Nan and I see her once a month & video call her once a week. People who abuse children are NOT mentally unwell, they are purely evil & sick! This is why innocent people with mental illness gets their child taking of them, because people let others get Away with their actions & abusing children by saying their mentally Ill. So pissed! Hope you are having “ok” days alately hunny, because us with borderline personality disorder are never guaranteed a good day. Lots of love and prayers ❤
❤ I have the same diagnosis had my daughter at 19 wasn’t properly diagnosed until 23 because of the hard bonding and the daily changes in me I only had one kid she is 19 on 20/12/. And she is my most precious achievement. There is no excuse for child abuse sending love to you all ❤
I suffer from the same things and I love my son with my heart and soul. If you lie about what you've done then you know it's wrong full stop! It makes people think that if you suffer with bad, anxiety and depression you're a danger to your child and that's just not the case andbit makes me so angry when monsters use these illnesses as an excuse for their evil behaviour.

Emma's 100% authentic reactions and "side conversations " are the reason why I absolutely LOVE this channel!!! ❤️😍👍🏻 #TrueCrimeRoleModel #ShesTheBest
100% agree 🥰
She is good 👍
I appreciate you doing these cases about child abuse. Hopefully with education we'll learn the signs and prevent these tragedies.
M
I hope it does prevent this
Thanks Em, for covering this difficult story.
Agreed, sadly, it’s always “lessons will be learned.” Hopefully by more people knowing, they will listen to our voices call out for change.
People need to speak up! Regardless of not knowing for sure! Better safe than sorry!
I was sexually and emotionally abused from 4-14. I vowed that I would never do that to my children. I had a daughter and was so intent on bringing her up in a good home that I spoiled her a bit. She's 34 now, but she is responsible, a good mother, and a bit spoiled. I would rather have her be spoiled than live a life where you're afraid of what each day is going to bring.
Good of you I'm proud to hear this keep spoiling and loving her
Don't worry, all whyte men have sexually abused kids or at least though about it, I guess it's their culture.
Spoiled is ok 🥰
And you really think this is about you right? Typical 🙌🏿🤣🤣🤣
@@bee-sting You're an as-😚!!
This case as a single mum of 3 with bpd, depression, anxiety and ptsd makes my blood boil!!!! I fear you can't trust anyone anymore, especially with your babies!!! They say it takes a village to raise a child but what if that village is full of demons then you're on your own and that is a very sad state of affairs.
Thanks for another brilliantly presented case Emma I know these must take a mental toll and I'm so gratful you do these with such respect and above all honesty you say what we are all thinking merry Christmas and God bless to you and your beautiful family xxx
Agree
Poor Jersey! She was so close to having happiness and security. Best wishes to her sister and Desirée❤️
So heartbreaking isn’t it. She had her wonderful loving mother despite the horrible things she went through with her father, she had a little sister who she adored and I’m sure adored her right back. Jersey is such a pretty name for such a sweet little babe. It brings tears to my eyes every time Emma covers a child case
I will never understand how this type of individuals get to act on their crazy, disgusting, fantasies. He looked after that beautiful little girl, he knew what she had gone through, and for goodness sake, she was just an innocent 6 year old baby! People who torture and kill children should get special treatment in prison. I don't care if it sounds barbarous. For me, if the devil exists, he works through the actions of this type of perpetrator.
Emma, thank you so much for your passion and all the depth you go into with each case.I learn and benefit tremendously from listening to your analyses, and really enjoy your marvellous sense of humor. 🌻
Agree totally!!! I hope he goes through unbelievable pain in prison, the worst humans in the world are the one that take the innocence away from precious little babies 😢 That child could of cured cancer, that baby could of stopped a war, that girl could of done anything and now we will never ever know xo 😞
@@Bonnie_Lou, that’s exactly how I feel about children who are murdered in their mother’s wombs. Nearly 70 million since 1973. I sincerely believe that one of those precious babies would have discovered the cure for cancer and other ones would have discovered the cure for many diseases, like diabetes and Alzheimers. And one would have come up with a way to stop world hunger and another one would have perhaps even discovered a way to stop pedo’s from becoming pedos before they can hurt children. So many people who claim to love children and advocate for them, are the same ones who march in the streets and protest to make sure that women can continue to k!ll their own babies in the womb and some advocate for women and doctors being able to do this even after a child is born alive during a botched abortion. They want to let the baby die on a cold steel table alone, or be thrown in a trash basket and left to die alone.😢 I will never ever ever understand that. I wanted more children and wasn’t able to have more, I would have gladly taken one of these babies. And these women just throw them away in the name of convenience.🤬
Rest In Peace precious Jersey, you deserved so much better in life. It’s comforting to know that you are safe now, and that no one will ever be able to hurt you again. I’m so sorry for everything that happened to you.🥺😢
Poor, poor Deserae. It really is every parents worst nightmare, x10. I’d never heard of this case before now, loved Emma’s deep dives and respectful insights as always ❤
She got out of a abuse home only died from a predator that’s so tragic I never heard of this case
Emma you are totally amazing!! The way you tell the painful life stories of victims with such passionate understanding and genuine heart whilst at the same time ripping the perpetrator into pieces with well deserved brutal sarcasm, quick wit and wise intellect - there is no one like you!!
I am so glad you are addressing this issue. It is so often that the Influencers cover the same stories over again.The ones we have all seen.They are repeating again.If I see one of them doing Ted Bubdy again I will scream Thanks You are a treasure.
What a treat. It’s my 50th birthday today and I’ve got you to watch/listen to.
Perfect end to a lovely day.
Thanks Em.
Happy birthday ..i hope its a blessed one!
Tomorrow is my 50th.. Lord how time flies huh? ❤❤

thank you Emma for covering this tragedy in such a professional and passionate manner💙
Emma again you have presented this case with so much compassion.
My heart hurts for Jersey & what she went through in such a short life.
OMG the wedding photo, speaks volumes. How the other half live.
Emma thank you for fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.
As s former Corrections Officer, trust me, he will get his in prison. Just wish I had a front row seat and a bottomless popcorn bowl.
I have been following your channel for the last year or so. I have no idea how you have the strength in your soul to talk about these cases without breaking down every single time. But i am so glad that you are bringing light to these heinous crimes against the most precious and innocent members of our world. They make me cry, they make me cuss, they make me want to throw things, and throttle the perpetrators, and serial abusers. You are such a strong woman, Emma. I wish I had just a little tiny bit of your strength, poise, and grace. Bless you in every single way.
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warmly upon your face, and the rains fall softly upon your fields, and until we meet again, may god hold you in the palm of his hand.

I'm in Arkansas less than 1 hour away from where this case happened. It still makes me so mad but breaks my heart at the same time. thank you for covering this sweet baby and helping others notice the signs that we need to be more aware of. Rest in peace sweet girl 💔
I'm in Fort Smith and it's just horrible. They all are, but how did so much get missed?
How did he get joint custody if he had a meth addiction? I just don't get it.
I was Jersey's neighbor and grew up with her too and even though I was young it still made my heart break.
I can't say what I want to say about that... amoeba... without being banned. Thank you for doing this gut-wrenching work to raise awareness, Emma.
Thanks again Em this is another case I haven’t heard of. My god what the F is wrong with these sick individuals that little girl was stunning just heartbreaking to hear about these cases but time & time again we need to do more to stop child abuse. Fly high Jersey girl taken far too soon 💔💔💔
After 65 years!!!!!!
The name has finally been found out!
Joseph Augustus Zarelli (13 January 1953 - February 1957), formerly known as the "Boy in the Box", was a boy whose naked, badly beaten body was found on the side of Susquehanna Road in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 25 February 1957. He appeared clean and well-groomed, with a new haircut and trimmed fingernails, although he had suffered severe physical abuse before his death and had numerous bruises on his body. He was also found to be malnourished. The body was covered with scars, some of which were surgical in nature (mainly on the ankle, groin and chin). Police believe the cause of death to be blunt force trauma homicide.[4] He has also been dubbed "America's Unknown Child".
This case stuck with me from second grade. Being from Philadelphia, it was a story told to scare children into always making themselves accounted for. "You don't want to end up like the boy in the box, do you?"
I'm elated that Joseph got his name back! America's Unknown Child will now rest with a name ❤️
Thanks for sharing! Another really sad case! At least now he’s known. Hopefully knowing who he was will help determine who did this to him. Though I know it’s not that simple, surely there’s someone that will still be around that knew him 🤞I really hope he is resting in peace 🙏
That poor little boy 😭😭 It just blows my mind & breaks my heart how anyone can harm a child 💔 rest in peace #Joseph
Cannot believe he finally has a name and an age, after 65 years... Nothing is impossible and we always must keep hope alive.
Urgh. I'm so glad he has been able to be at rest properly. Did he have any family that were out looking for him, when he disappeared?
Always find it disgusting and disturbing a child having to sneak food from a parent or guardian... I would give my last everything for my children or any child. No child should go hungry
Such a beautiful little girl , RIP Jersey, it's just so heartbreaking my heart goes out to her family xx
This was a tough, tough one Em. I hope they fully supported and investigated the potential he was also abusing other kids in his life? So heartbreaking but you did her proud as always with your compassion and insight, love ya! 🧡
Poor baby, by someone she trusted! Rest in peace, fly high with the angels!
What a case. So heartbreaking. Thanks em. Stay safe everyone.
Let me start with saying your coverage of this case is so eye opening. As a resident of the area of Arkansas where this took place I have learned things after listening to your coverage about this case that is new to me. I unfortunately am discovering after watching this that Amanda was my neighbor a couple of years ago and I was always very disturbed by her energy and how she behaved not knowing that she was “The Amanda” this gives me such horror knowing I lived right next to her. I have a six year old daughter and always had this instinct that something was off about her and all of the people in her household. She at the time of my being my neighbor would baby sit neighbors kids and always had children around…Please please please look into this women there are so many things not right with her and so many red flags that her involvement or knowledge that Holly was inappropriate with Jersey at least should be considered!
Wow so you had instinct about her it makes you wonder why her mother didn’t pick up anything but as I keep saying her little daughter had already went through enough and then she gives trust to these pair I believe the mother was ridiculous to let anyone look after her I agree mostly with Emma but disagree that the mother could’ve saved her daughter from this
@@margaretmaclure6164 not everyone can pick up on the vibes of other people. And if she had been friends with her for years, she may have honestly never seen or heard anything off about her.. these types of people are very good at deception. Being a single mom is hard AF, and not all of them are lucky enough to have a family support system to lean into . Child care is really expensive, having a friend who you think you can trust and you've never seen or heard anything bad about them, how would she have known? She's obviously not psychic..
Exactly.. I thought the same thing, only because pedophiles usually don't murder their first victim, and they usually target their own children first. Not to mention 5he disgusting fact that she stood by him, knowing he not only raped a precious little girl, he murdered her. I also can feel the "vibes" of people, but, as I'm sure you know, not everyone has this ability.. I would almost bet everything I own that he was SA his own children, or the children that were living in their own house. Amanda may also have been SA them. Women like that will do ANYTHING to keep a man, even if it's to offer babysitting for free to gather victims for them. Because she's SUCH a good hearted person right? 🤢
I can't imagine the mental and emotional guilt this poor mom has went through, because even if she hadn't left the door open, she would've blamed herself for something else. That monster would've found another way to get to his desired victim. Imagine getting your baby back, finding out she suffered abuse by her own father and stepmom to only lose her to a disgusting monster and his sidekick. 8 can't believe that Amanda wasn't arrested, or at least her children weren't interviewed and removed from her care..
@@reneecaballero9624 sorry but as a mother myself I had hard times as well I wasn’t a single mother but you know although I was married had my hubby but in a way I was like a single mother as my husband was away from morning till night working so I looked after my own kids more or less all the time but are you trying to say her mother made no mistakes here cos the father had a meth problem first of all so number one I don’t care there’s no way my sons or daughter would go to someone who cares more on their drugs so that’s a mistake straight away so after what that little girl went through at the hands of her own father and the girlfriend had already went through crap so after that happened my daughter would not be left with anyone I would have to make sure nothing like that happened again but then she leaves her with a friend and the man so ok even if she trusted her she was leaving her with her friend and this sicko also leaving a door open at nighttime where anybody walking by at anytime could’ve went in that’s very careless and so you have your opinion but as far as I’m concerned a mother does her best to protect and there was too many mistakes not just vibes she made mistakes big style
@@margaretmaclure6164 So, she should've been homeless with her children then? Unless you've been a single mom, without any financial assistance from the father, you can't judge a parent for doing her best. I, fortunately had a younger sister and mom to help me out while I had to work 96hrs a week to support my children after divorce. We don't know that the father had this addiction when she met him. This could've been something he picked up after meeting his wife.
Unless you keep your children as prisoners in their own homes, monsters, once they have their mind set on a victim will do whatever is necessary to get them. It's an obsession, if that means killing anyone who's an obstacle, they will.. child care was $200 a week per child when my children were growing up. If she had paid for childcare in a facility, she would've been homeless and jersey would've been removed from her, places in the foster care system and we know that abuse is prevalent in the foster system.. Having someone who you can lean on at a time when you don't know how in the hell you're going to be able to afford everything to raise your children is a blessing. How many children are kidnapped a year? I suppose you blame all those parents too?
I sincerely hope that you're never in the place of these parents, because children have snatched from their own backyards, blaming the parents when they've done nothing wrong, is extremely narcissistic.. Being perfect such as yourself must be nice, I can't believe they've not made a movie showing how you're the perfect mom . Idk the ages of your children, but I imagine that they've never been more than inches from your person their whole lives have they? Never stayed after school, went to play at a friend's house, play sports, participate in after school programs? Quite frankly, you're the type of person I wouldn't allow my children around, because if you expect perfection at all times, your children are going to end up traumatized.. bye .
This case is overwhelming. What a absolutely beautiful little princess 💕💕.
First time watching and I must say the style in which you report the story draws you in deeply… creating a very real and tragic situation be seen. Crimes involving innocent children need harsher punishment…
I love your take on things and your empathy and wit. You obviously have so much heart. But I just can't watch so much horrible things happening to kids. It's so heartbreaking.
Unfortunately he’ll have his own little cell in there. If only he were mixed with other inmates. Emma I’m hoping that you’ll cover the Takoda Collins case, I really want to hear your take on the women in that house. I’ve listened to every interview/ news report/ jail call I can find, I just can’t get my head around how blasé the women are including their mum after it all. Probably one of the worst cases that haunts me
I really like you Emma ,you are an inspiration really and you do the children proud when you cover these cases .😀
As a LIFELONG True Crime fan, I cannot believe I just found your channel last week... You are incredibly compassionate, brilliant with words and research, and overall just the best person to share Jersey's story. 💔💔
Literally the same for me!
Oh Emma, how heartbreaking. My heart goes out to her loving mother. Thank you for bringing these cases to light, despite how difficult it must be to do so. Rest in peace, sweet Jersey. 💖
Hooray! It's Wednesday! Can't wait! Bringing attention to the Adrian Jones case again. Please dear Em, add him to your page long list. A young boy, brutally tortured and murdered, all publicly shared with the world on facebook and in the end fed to the pigs.
Thanks also go to your brother who is helping you with this difficult task. I wish you all, from the bottom of my heart, a wonderful pre-Christmas season 🎅🎄🎅 xx Tina, Emil 🐈 & Emma 🐈 from Germany
Agreed! For how horrific his case is, I'm shocked how little attention it gets. 😞
Absolutely. No matter how painful it is to hear, his story should be told.
@@thesquidling IT MUST BE! THATS SERIOUSLY A "MUST"
Ring in my mind of the pure evil inflicted on little Thomas valva, for which his evil dad was jailed just this week. His poor mom was screaming at everyone to help but no one did
Such a beautiful child! So heartbreaking!
I feel terrible for the life of torture that Jersey was made to endure at the hands of her father David and stepmother Jana, as well as the disgusting death that she was made to suffer at the hands of her, "Uncle Zachary" the nextdoor neighbor. However, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that something feels very off about DesaRae allowing anyone to get near Jersey after what she'd already been through. Perhaps she is or was a bit naive, but children of abuse are far more likely to be revictimized. These monsters can sniff it out and in this situation Holly was more than likely made aware of the situation via the friendship between DesaRae's and Amanda. I believe that whatever DesaRae shared about their life is what caused Amanda to be so eager to help with the girls, to the point that they had an open door policy. Where most husbands would balk at the responsibility of an extra set of children for very little compensation, Holly was clearly more than happy with that situation, which should have raised her eyebrow if not been a full blown, waving, red flag. In the end, I still have an abundance of compassion for her loss and I pray that no child ever suffer this abuse nor parent suffer this loss and I'm sure she has regrets every day of her life for ever letting her guard down.
I wait patiently for Wednesdays and Sundays to watch you Emma, truly are the highlights of my week! I met you on your Serial Killer next door tour and you really are such a sweetheart. I've not connected with any other UA-camr like I have with you. Hearing how passionate you are about people with mental illness not automatically becoming abusers really gives me some sort of ease. Admittedly can make me feel ashamed to speak up on things I have experienced incase people view me as a monster too with psychosis but you are so right. The majority of us wouldn't dream of hurting a soul. Hearing someone like you, not judge us helps ease the pain somewhat, so thank you for always being so empathetic and compassionate whilst telling the most heinous stories.
This case hit hard and truly has made my blood boil. Holly is a sick fuck and I really hope everyday he is paying for all the pain he inflicted on that poor little girl. 💔
Rest in Peace Jersey, you are safe now sweet girl x
Glad u made that distinction he was a monster WITH psychosis. Thank u for realising the psychosis had nothing to do with it. I've been abused in past relationships had broken nose etc I ended up getting psychosis thru the trauma ....I'd never hurt anyone while Ill im likely to hurt myself...last time I fell out a third floor window...shattered my pelvis... sorry u have experienced evil men too. They aren't all like it xx
It is terrible what Holly did to Jersey. The entire story is horrible. Holly’s abuse as a child totally screwed him up as an adult. It’s the cycle of abuse which is common in individuals who have been seriously negatively affected by enduring their own worst nightmare.
As i said, the whole picture is so terribly sad.
I also blame society for being dysfunctional.
However, I don’t dispute that Holly had to be removed from society to ensure this scenario could never be played out by him ever again
😢Yes, thanks Em for the educational tips on Mental Illness. Your support without shame brings such comfort!😊❤
It makes me suspicious if he was abusing his own children and if Amanda knew about his sexual attraction to children and that's the reason she offered to babysit Jersey.. I don't believe that jersey was his first victim because monsters like him don't usually murder their first victim.. I can't believe that Amanda was able to keep custody of her own children. It's mind boggling to me that NO ONE thought that he was abusing his own children and that Amanda was aware of it..
Poor little girl 😢 thank u for telling jerseys story Emma 🙏💜
Hi Emma. Thanks so much for being an advocate for Jersey and for (sadly) so many abused children.
Sending love from Tennessee! Only Emma can tell stories like this. We love you!
Rest in peace Jersey. You deserved so much more. ❤️
Thank you as always Emma ❤ not an easy case at all to cover! Take care!
Thank you Emma for all that you do. I am new to your channel. I have seen you in documentary’s of crime on tv. I just love the raw emotion you show to the point that it moves me, even though I am already moved. The emotion you put forward as a human being, is the way we all feel. Thank you for everything you do.
So good to see you here Emma! Love all your Tv work and your ethics and passion ❤
Excellent and compassionate analysis, revisiting cases.
I’m diagnosed as SEVERE anxiety disorder and I have 4 beautiful babies 1 of which has special needs, is non verbal and limited mobility and on a feeding tube…. And I have NEVER abused ANY CHILD! I HATE when people use mental health issues as an excuse for their own horrible actions, OR addiction for that matter! THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO HURT A CHILD! Let me also say I am a recovering addict with 4 years clean AND I had 2 of my babies when I was in active addiction and I never abused nor neglected my children even then! I was not the best mom and I did things I regret ( NOT ABUSE I NEVER ABUSED MY KIDS!) like that my son was running around with ratty looking shoes etc…. But it KILLS ME to hear these cases where bc they were in active addiction they hurt their kids, or bc of mental health issues….NO!! STOP GIVING BAD NAMES TO OTHERS WITH THESE DISEASES!!! Addiction DOESNT MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON And doesn’t mean all addicts abuse or neglect their kids!! Mental health issues DONT MAKE A PERSON ABUSE THEIR KIDS, nor does it make them dangerous or more prone to anger …. And you wonder why cops KILL people in mental health crisis??!!! Ugh!!! This guy CHOSE TO DO WHAT HE DID!! Nothing NOTHING MADE HIM DO IT!! I signed my kids over to my parents and got clean and got them home now…I take care of my kids and I have made amends to the ones that had to see me in addiction and you know what??? My oldest son told me he knew “something “ was going on but he just thought I was sick 😢 but he NEVER felt unloved or like I treated him “different “ or “ worse”, and I still have a ton of guilt but at least I know my kids don’t hate me for it… they’re just glad they have their mommy back and that I am healthy today…. And I’m grateful for that….but don’t think just bc someone has substance issues or mental health issues that they are abusive or dangerous ….
Emma: From America we thank you, most sincerely for featuring the innocent, little ones whose lives are brutally ended by the most devious that society holds. Have seen you on other shows and am always impressed by your analysis, poise, intelligence, knowledge, and heart. It surely is most difficult to present the cases concerning little ones. All the same you do it well, exposing the chosen evil underlying the crimes. On a lighter note, it doesn't hurt that you are also a beautiful woman and so poised. I think that helps to draw your audience in. Thank you, Emma.
A child is not going to lie that young, poor little girl
My daughter was born November 2008 and is 14 now. Just thinking this poor baby would be only 16 now just starting life and it breaks my heart. Also idk about the UK but in the US you don't have to give dna without a warrant from a judge.
As far as I understand, here in the U.K. it is standard practice to be photographed, fingerprinted and DNA tested on arrest. I’m not sure whether they actually process the sample from every arrest (I would presume that it is only financially viable to process the samples from cases that are going to prosecution and even then, not all). It is basically part of the booking in process. At least that was my experience on the one occasion that I was arrested. Though I should probably stipulate that I have never been charged with an offence.
I respect everything you stand for Emma and I appreciate you delivering these stories the way you do ❤ also love the Christmas tree in the background x
Managed to keep it together until the dedication at the end and you saying goodbye sweetheart. Can’t hold the emotions in any longer. That angel looks so similar to mine at that age, this broke me. Thanks for covering these Uber important child cases Em
What a beautiful little girl. If only she could have had the childhood she deserved…..
How can any one child be so unfortunate to not be the victim once but twice from two completely unrelated people! I would have liked to have thought once she escaped the first, that she had already had her way more than her fair share tragedy and pain for a lifetime, and she would have been free to live a long happy life after that.
Such a cruel world we live in.This case is truly heartbreaking 😔
Covered with such respect and sensitivity as always Emma x
Merry Christmas to you Emma and our crime cult. ♡︎
Merry Christmas back my lovely x
I was abused mentally and physically. I'm now 70 years old and I can say with a clear heart that I have never intentionally caused another person harm in any way. I do understand that some people decide it happened to them so tough, I have somehow the authority to do this to you. A broken mind I believe. However I think the death penalty is too good for such persons. They should be shut in a cement room. Given enough to eat and drink to keep them alive. Then that's it. They get to sit there the rest of their unfortunate life.
Heartbreaking, Emma you brought me to tears at the end. Sending love to her family
How unfair on the mother though to arrest him at the funeral! How could she possibly concentrate and say goodbye to her daughter after literally just finding out who it was and see him taken away
What? Do you think it’d have been better if he attended?
Justice!!
Totally the PERFECT place to see him carted off to jail!
Wow utterly heartbreaking, see why you have to pace these horrific cases, soul destroying.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Amazingly true crime told with emotion and true feelings! Just such a tragic crime !! Breaks your heart, but well done I was glued ! From Sandy United Kingdom 🇬🇧 x
Love your passion, I am similar in your beliefs, such a tragic thing, I hope she is resting easy and is at peace 😢
Even when I was active in my addiction and I'm talking bad active addiction I still held down a full time job and I had dogs I took very good care of. They were still fed, didn't have to lay in their own filth, had water and vet visits when needed. Infact I had a pup that had gotten parvo during that time and I paid over $2000 just to get him better. So I don't understand how someone can not treat their own child like this even being an addict. There is no excuse for this insufferable behavior.
This story was horrific. It was hard to hear.
And it was certainly very hard for you to bring to us, thank you Emma. Though you have a professional background in this kind of thing, as do many of us, it *must* hurt your heart and rend holes in the equanimity with which you begin your days. But it's important, as you know.

Stories like this are important, as you asserted, to bring these ugly issues to the light of our collective reflection. As caring adults in this world, we are tasked with recognizing the mal-use of young people in our lives. We're all responsible to speak up, and damn the torpedoes, if we think we're seeing violence (and words can be violent, as can negligence) against someone so young they cannot speak for themselves. Better to be wrong than to allow one more Harley to roam his perverted landscape of young bodies.
My heart hurts so much for this beautiful little girl and her mum beyond words 😢
Really sad to hear what this little girl went through😢
I'll Never understand Abusing an Innocent, Defenseless, Helpless, Baby, or Child!! LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE is what they Deserve! If the Baby, or Child Dies, then the Death Sentence!
After watching this again another thing I noticed was your ability to weave in necessary sarcasm regarding Amanda, Holly, and his mother. Well done.
I’ve never seen your video’s before. I appreciate your passion when speaking about the horrific events this piece of trash caused. Rest peacefully Jersey. You deserved more than you were given in this life.
Of course people who are deep into addiction do things they never imagined they'd do. But it takes more than just addiction to abuse a child like they did. Those people have no souls
You are, dear Emma, one of the most strongest women i have never met. I broke down at the end of this horrific event you spoke of... when you said, " Rest easy, sweetheart, until you and your mommy see each other again." Knowing now that you were pregnant with your own daughter when covering this little girls end. God bless and keep you and Etta safe... always
Love you Emma! Best crime documentariest along with Eleanor neal both fantastic channels 👌😊
“Do you know the difference between mental health and you, they are not murderers” oh my this woman is brilliant. The empathy and the passion to tell these true crime situations is amazing. You feel along with Emma the Empathy, sympathy and the way she puts herself in that situation is the reason why she is the most compassionate human being ever. ❤
Emma. I hate to stereotype but this crap is about as Redneck as it gets. Poor Jersey. I also feel sorry for her Mum. Bet the Holly dude gets a really bad time inside. I truly hope so.
Wow Emma you are awesome! First time watching, horrible sickening case btw, but your delivery is amazing and I'm definitely a new subscriber. You're very easy to listen to and follow and I very much appreciate your insight and passion. Keep up the good work 🤗 Looking forward to seeing more content. Cheers!
RIP beautiful Jersey ❤️ You're in God's house now and you'll forever be shielded from further pain. Sending love and comfort to the friends and family ❤️
Wow Emma, what you said at the ending was so beautiful and heartfelt, 'Rest easy sweetheart, until you and your Mum see each other again', 😔 😢 that got me, poor little girl amd her family xx bless her heart x you did her justice as ever Emma x ❤️
Hello I truly thank you for speaking about these abuses and crimes against children , I suffered sexual abuse as a very young girl for years I told adults I trusted they gave me a pat on my head and sent me home telling my Mother” there was a problem “ if I could have felt comfortable telling my Mother I would have but there was much dysfunction I needed help but didn’t get it . I’m new to your channel but I love it Thank you I subscribed too of course ! Keep highlighting these cases ,Justice will be done, I pray in these cases . We all as a society need to be more vigilant and protective of our children and loved ones . I can’t believe the horror this poor little girl endured it’s despicable she trusted him he’s just vile. I will pray for her Mother and family they’ve been through a shit show it’s utter filth he says “ sorry” Really !?sorry that’s all he has to say? Uughg it’s good he’s off the streets I hope he has an awful time in prison. Fuvvvkkkk! He’s a Piece of shit .
Yes, powerfully important to shed light on these cases of Children... They must be protected
Emma you had me cracking up at your sarcasm & passionate anger. I’m with you there, love from 🇨🇦 😅
Lady Emma your the best love you from across the pond.
😭 It's soul destroying to imagine little Jersey going through this horror at the hands of this bastard she trusted. To be snatched away in this evil way... Absolutely heartbreaking. I hold you forever in my heart Jersey. 😔💖
The wedding image has squillions of yucky adjectives stampeding into my brain.
Hi from 🇦🇺
Hey Emma my heart was bleeding with yours as you told this story. Still on death row?? Sick. That poor little beautiful angel. She’s at peace thank God. Her poor Mum who seemed wonderful has so much she has to process. Thank you Emma for sharing this sad sad story of beautiful Jersey❤❤❤❤
Its the Amanda impression for me. I will never understand mothers that defend men like this. She’s not just someone who was once a 6 year old girl, but she is a mother! I hope shes not bringing more predators like this around her own babies, but she probably is. I have 4 daughters and I cant imagine this happening to us. My heart breaks for her parents. Rest In Peace beautiful Jersey ❤
Thankfully, it was Solved so fast!
Could you please consider covering the horrific case of baby Brianna Lopez, and baby Sterling kohen very Very sad and disturbing, but people need to know about how human beings can do inhumane things to babies and children, and I know you would do these beautiful babies justice they deserve. Thanks for all your hardwork and dedication to the cause .
That was one of the worst cases I’ve ever heard of, that and Gabriel Fernandez.
I’m from Arkansas! I’ve never heard this case! Thank you for the coverage.
This poor girl…the one time a child gets rescued from horrible abuse they still end up dead💔I hope your resting peacefully beautiful Jersey💗🤍
Sometimes I feel like the people who created these monsters should be held responsible in someway. It’s their creation, it’s what they’ve bestowed on the world, and they are perpetuating the cycle of terrifying human behavior.
I agree. We hear time after time these monstrous perverts have had atrocious childhoods themselves yet their parents are not held accountable for what they've let loose.
Thank You, Emma. Prayers for Jersey, and her Family. Truly Heartbreaking! 🥀🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I’m seething 😤 as a childhood survivor myself these are people I wish we could press a button and send them straight into the garbage disposal, how dare you put your filthy desires above a precious child’s life! Go play in traffic first! 😡
I really like the way you stand up for the victims Emma!
