He had sex in an abandoned van with a 16 year old, then let her walk 7 miles home? WTH that man should be in jail as well. A 31 year old married man, now thinks he can hold his head high? Sure……you’re a real stand up guy. Kappen was just worse.
@@ElysV135 Well, Im European, and while not technically illegal it is still to this day something, that is frowned upon, that a 31y old man has a 16y old gf, let alone a married 31y old man. And my takeaway, regardless of his age and marital status, even had he been 16 too, was "gee, what a gentleman". And in case u missed it, that was very heavy sarcasm. Just f*ck her and send her on her way on foot for 7 miles in the darkness? What a total PoS! I agree with the other poster, if all, u took from that, was the age of consent, u really need to get ur priorities straight.
Hopelessly illogical nonsense. Of course people sometimes find mannequins. It's just that no one makes UA-cam videos about it when they do. "Unless you're hiking in a morgue, it's literally NEVER a body".
I know ive seen several videos by people saying they thought it was a mannequin in all different areas where bodies were found. Who would just randomly put them in these places.
Sandra’s boyfriend was a married man who didn’t have a drivers license or a car and he was cheating on his wife with a 16 year old girl. Wow. What a catch. He shouldn’t walk around with his head held high even after being cleared.
@@christolbert4628 Yeah, from what I can find, 16 was the age of consent in the UK in the 1970s between heterosexual partners (and I think that's true today). But the age differential is extremely troubling.
You covered this case amazingly! I'm from South Wales and your pronunciation was 100% perfect. This fact might not matter to many but it means so much to your Welsh viewers. Thank you for sharing this case world-wide xxxx
To be honest good detective work at the time could have solved this. He fitted the description, had a history of violence and included domestic violence; and drove the same car . They missed the ball on this . I’m pleased it’s finally solved but he escaped justice. His wife could also have told the truth ( and yes I know that’s hard- as a victim of domestic violence as a child and as an adult)
Omg I just came to comment the same thing! I’ve been so disappointed after a few new videos of not hearing it! Once I clicked this video I for sure thought her signature haunting piano riff was back but no 😢 hahaha
Thank you HC. I'm glad that the advancement in Forensics is helping solve so many tragedies. I know the families want the monsters to suffer, but as long as it's taken for some cases to be solved, it's not entirely a surprise if they're already dead. I think it's even more wonderful when the loved ones, especially the parents, actually live to get their answers. And to know at least, that the monster is meeting his punishment. He can't hurt anyone anymore. 🙏🏼💔🕊️😓
Thank you for this. Been following your channel for years - absolutely surreal to hear you talking about our local infamous crime. I'm from one of the towns mentioned in this - didn't expect to hear this case on your channel but this was great!
@@chrisrus1965her voice is always like that. I can relate to having a deeper, raspier voice. I don’t find it unpleasant to listen to at all. It’s actually kinda soothing
Right? Like I always wonder just how accessible mannequins are for the average person and how often are people discarding them in the middle of the woods or side of the road
Lung cancer is no walk in the park. The evil man suffered for sure! I pray for the victims families...and for the evil ones ex wife and child..God bless the victims & their families
I know it was a different time, but I just couldn't help thinking... why didn't the parents pick them up? Can you imagine your 16 year old daughter walking 5 miles home after midnight? My parents wouldn't have cared, but most parents would rather be a little annoyed and have their child safe and alive.
There are a number of reasons why young people wouldn't have called their parents then. They had no car, run out of change for a phone booth, didn't want them to know to which extent they partied, it may have been uncool to get picked up by them (I think that was more the case when kids were more independent), too late at night, low crime areas. That's what I take from family who were teens before the eighties.
My heart breaks for the families of all of these passionate, vibrant, loving and caring girls whose lives had just begun. Though I take away solace and gratitude that the parents of all three of these lovely girls lived to see who the brutal and barbaric monster who stole the futures that these girls still had not been written. May they now live with a little more peace and joy these last 13 years. Bravo to those who all worked hard and tirelessly for the years of never losing sight nor pushing away the importance of identifying and bringing the Saturday Night Killer out into from the shadows and sharing the brutality of this monster to light.
can I just say, that as a Welsh person myself, I'm very pleased with how well you pronounced these placenames (sorry if that sounds patronising, I promise I don't mean it to)
I’m sure there are others that haven’t been linked to this guy. Three sexual assaults and murders in rapid succession sounds like he was familiar and comfortable with doing this and got away with it in the past.
👏🏻Your channel is one of my favourite new finds (via YT recommended). Thank you for surprising me with a great vid. Only thing i can say, is 10 Downing Street is residence for the Prime Minister of England (Brittain) not the United Kingdom, little bit of a diffence there
And nowadays 21, in the states, to get into most unless it’s an underage club, meaning 18 and over. If I recall at the 18+clubs, always inferior to the 21 +, you have to get IDed at the bar and wear a bracelet, unless that’s been stopped too as that was in the late 90s.
You had to be 18 in Wales too, but they never used to enforce it. I started going clubbing at 15 - rock night on a Thursday - and my mum used to physically drag me out of bed to go to school the next day 😂
They clearly came from a large family if they were the only 2 girls in it my father himself comes from a large family which wasn't that unusual here in Ireland at the time
That was the first one solve with genetic genealogy. The UK doesn’t allow their detectives to use genetic genealogy from public sources. Just familial matches from the criminal data base. If his son hadn’t been a shitbag or he hadn’t had kids, they wouldn’t have found him.

Age of consent in Europe is usually different than in the US.
@@ElysV135 that was your takeaway from this comment? Good luck with your life. 😐

I can completely understand the sentiment of Geraldine's mother who wouldn't feel like that towards the person that took the life of their child
Unless you’re hiking in a department store, it is literally NEVER a mannequin.

Should have charged him with statutory rape. But, laws are different in the UK.
Her old married so called boyfriend - left a 16 year old girl to walk 5 miles at night alone, shameful .
@@christolbert4628 Yeah, from what I can find, 16 was the age of consent in the UK in the 1970s between heterosexual partners (and I think that's true today). But the age differential is extremely troubling.
I know she had to be terrified of him, but a shame the wife didn't tell law the truth regarding his alibi. What a scumbag.
He definitely suffered at the end. I am glad the parents were alive to see the suspect found.
Very satisfying conclusion and told with great detail. So often the parents never know...

I’m from south Wales 🏴 brilliant research and pronunciations well done heavy casefiles love this channel ❤
Wow....
Love how you cover these lesser known cases..❤
It's a really big case in the UK.

Love this channel. That background guitar, the narration, it's all soooooo good and always respectfully done.
This is just one of numerous cold cases up to today that the murderer got away with it
God knows what they did.
What happened to that haunting piano riff? The guitar riff is cool but nothing beats that piano piece. Bring it back please!
Omg I just came to comment the same thing! I’ve been so disappointed after a few new videos of not hearing it! Once I clicked this video I for sure thought her signature haunting piano riff was back but no 😢 hahaha
Someone else uses this too. Criminally Listed

Yes but she sounds like she's about to lose her voice.
@@chrisrus1965her voice is always like that. I can relate to having a deeper, raspier voice. I don’t find it unpleasant to listen to at all. It’s actually kinda soothing
Never assume that its a mannequin because it usually isn't
Idk I found some pretty rad mannequins on the side of the road a few years back
Right? Like I always wonder just how accessible mannequins are for the average person and how often are people discarding them in the middle of the woods or side of the road
This is monsters literally has a shirt that says "it's never a mannequin"
It’s a defence mechanism for the mind - it can’t handle seeing a corpse so it substitutes another explanation.
Jiles from this is monsters channel says the same
Lung cancer is no walk in the park. The evil man suffered for sure! I pray for the victims families...and for the evil ones ex wife and child..God bless the victims & their families

Good morning 🌅 and thank you VERY much Heavy Case Files 💓
The part about the thunderclap during his exhumation is very eerie. Evil really is a force in the world, alas.
Great video as usual! I do miss the other song you alternate with. This one's been in the last 5 videos.
Thank you. I love that your give the victims and their families a voice. It's very clear that they are your focus.
Always love seeing videos from you! Thank you for your hard work
I enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing 😅
So sad the police didn't catch Kappen back in 1973 when they interviewed him. He died knowing he got away with horrific crimes. Did he kill more?
My heart breaks for the families of all of these passionate, vibrant, loving and caring girls whose lives had just begun. Though I take away solace and gratitude that the parents of all three of these lovely girls lived to see who the brutal and barbaric monster who stole the futures that these girls still had not been written.

Bravo to those who all worked hard and tirelessly for the years of never losing sight nor pushing away the importance of identifying and bringing the Saturday Night Killer out into from the shadows and sharing the brutality of this monster to light.
Your music is a tad too loud this time. You have such a nice, soothing voice that it makes it hard to hear you :(
The police turned out to be very close, by making Kappen's father a suspect in the first place.
Well done, as always. Thanks, HC.
Thx for your hard work ❤
A sad story again but a great video thnx.
Enjoyed this episode, well done.... 👌
Thank you HCF! ❤️
I can't believe that man thinks he can walk around with his head held high
My country !
I did a little of stupid stuff in my younger life but I’ve never done anything bad enough that I’d have to worry about in the age of DNA and all.
We gotta get this channel bigger. Others have like 800k subs.

Interesting that at 16 they got into clubs. In the states you had to be 18 to get into clubs in '73.
And nowadays 21, in the states, to get into most unless it’s an underage club, meaning 18 and over. If I recall at the 18+clubs, always inferior to the 21 +, you have to get IDed at the bar and wear a bracelet, unless that’s been stopped too as that was in the late 90s.
They probably pretended to be 18. Often all a club owner would do was ask your birthday. They didn't ask for ID then.
1973*
You had to be 18 in Wales too, but they never used to enforce it. I started going clubbing at 15 - rock night on a Thursday - and my mum used to physically drag me out of bed to go to school the next day 😂
In the States at least in Los Angeles it was 21 in Hollywood. My mother had a fake ID in the 70’s before she turned 21.
Chilling video 🥶
Victims and Family and ❤❤❤
RIP 😔
Look at the girls side by side n listening to case makes me think of Libby n Abby on the track
👍
How sad that she almost made it to the road. Rest in peace ❤️🙏🏻
Oh FFS… it’s never a mannequin 😢
16 at nightclubs . Parents need to take some responsibility
They clearly came from a large family if they were the only 2 girls in it my father himself comes from a large family which wasn't that unusual here in Ireland at the time
✔️
💕✨You've got me hooked with those 🎥👀 incredible casefiles!✨💕(´∀｀)♡
Original Nightstalker case taking all the credit

Parents, teach your daughters to stay out of clubs and bars! Your sons too for that matter.
I really wish you would not play that background music.
The voiceover sounds like #truecrimecam
Your video content and your telling of this story is excellent BUT get rid of that background music it’s very distracting and kinda annoying!
Paying rent to your parents at 16 makes no sense to me. Maybe if you're still living at home at 21 but not 16.
It does in Europe
Sept 16th is my birthday
Why are you telling us this?
I'm not right in the head.
Happy birthday
RIIIIIIICOOOOOLAAAAA!!! 📯😲⛰
