After several comments about the use of the word ‘homely’ to describe Danielle, we’re going to clarify why we used it here. In the United Kingdom, the word homely is used to describe someone that is a “homebird”, someone that is a friendly, stay-at-home person. Words can mean different things depending on what part of the world you’re in. We have never, and would never, use any derogatory or offensive terminology to describe anyone in our videos.
Thanks for clarifying. You are right that words have different meanings depending on location. Here in the US homely means ugly. We would instead use the word homebody to describe a person who likes to stay home and not go out much. I don’t comment often but I’d like to say I very much enjoy your work. You gals do an outstanding job with your research and production.
I still remember once when I was 12 ~ 13 years old, a man - older man - started paying attention to me and it made me very uncomfortable and embarrassed. My parents thought it was funny and would tease me about my 'boyfriend.' I cannot even put into words how furious it makes me now when parents find it amusing that their adolescent children are upset when someone makes unwanted sexual advances. It's not funny when that happens, people. Just look at how this turned out. That poor, innocent girl.
I was about that same age when a family friend starting making inappropriate comments to me, things like washing my back for me when I went to have a bath, washing my hair, etc. This was all done in front of my parents, but they didn't think it was out of order. Because I was already considered "too sensitive" by my parents, I never brought up my feelings about it to them. I still remember how I felt, though, some 50 years later...
That's disgusting, it's never funny when an older person acts like that with a teenager. My parents would never have stood by me in the same situation. If an adult was like that with my daughter I would never let that paedophile near us again.
I started getting attention from an older, married male when I was 11 and my mother shut it down immediately and I am so grateful that she did. She would have never entertained such deviancy.
Most states in Australia have a 'no body, no parole' law for convicted murderers. Something i think should be implemented in a case like this and others I've heard
Wow I didn’t know this, thank you. I totally agree, it should absolutely be implemented in any case where the person/people responsible for their death refuses to say where the victims body is! X
But Australia has shit laws two girls got away with torturing there friend it’s sick how the police said because of there age they won’t be prosecuted where I’m from you would be arrested and locked up
I cannot begin to express how angry and upset it made me to get to the end of this video and realize he has never told them where her body is. How absolutely cruel and heartless.
A local woman to me was murdered by her husband and dismembered and he still won’t tell where he put her remains. Pure selfishness and need for control
Maybe because the truth is too shocking? She might have died tied up in a basement somewhere, and as he knew the police were tracking him, he left her there to die alone of thirst, terror and hunger. People need to shun darkness and evil and embrace the goodness in themselves and in others. Rest in Peace all the defenceless people slain by evil and the families that loved and mourn them.
He will always be a risk to young girls. 20 years. Disgusting. Not saying where her body is and yet he can walk out of prison when his time is served? He should never be allowed out. Why should he have that when the family can't lay her to rest. I hate this "justice" system..
Yet he’s up for parole… time feels like it goes passed so fast regarding some things, doesn’t it? But I’m sure it didn’t go by fast for the Jones family 😢 Does anyone know if he got it? Does it really matter much? Bc If he doesn’t this time, he probably will the next… so sad.
Depends on the case. Technically someone who runs over a suicidal person who jumps in front of an unlit highway in the middle of the night is a killer.
when it comes to a grown man and a young girl, even "isolated incidents" that could be "innocent misunderstandings" one can never be too careful. This can be gut instincts and they need to be explored further.
Absolutely right. I had to learn that the hard way myself with my daughter and a "family friend" being a low life scumbag. I caught a different type of feeling about it one night and I actually came out and asked if there was something that I should know about and was told "not at all" even whenever I pointed out that I had a real strong feeling in my gut that something was wrong. Whenever the facts were exactly what I started to feel the night I had asked about something going on. Well I'm here to tell you, that was going at the situation all wrong. Instead of just doing what I thought needed to be done and being done with it; I asked him and her that night and they both lied to me. The very next day the whole situation was exposed for the truth about what was happening. I was just a fool 100 thinking that I could give another man a little bit of slack in the rope I should have had around his neck from the very first day that I was introduced to him. The more I have thought about it I really don't think that the 5yrs that he was sentenced to prison for is anywhere close to enough. Irregardless of how it went down or if they both were lying to me whenever I had confronted them both or not. 27 - 15 is nowhere near acceptable to have happening. Especially when the difference in ages is only 3 years of difference in her entire life 15yrs with a 12 year difference between them. How tf can he still look at himself in the mirror without being sick? I guess since a child allowed it to happen or in my eyes even encouraged it; that POS doesn't see where it was ever wrong. Smgdh
@Last Chance I don't mean just in this case. Overall "explored" as in questioned/investigated further to see if there needs to be something reported to the police and provide your child with medical/psychological help. Children may not say anything because they're scared or embarrassed but asking them could bring out things.
The thing is, once is a misunderstanding. Multiple times is suspicious. Guy would have got nowhere near my daughter -- especially if he had a previous conviction.
Just as an update, as of January 2023, Stuart was denied release. Also how about we just simply never release murderers from prison because they will ALWAYS present a danger to others.
More importantly- our tiny victims of pedophiles. They know there's NO cure as that's what gets their limp little noodle excited. They will re offend. They let them out- knowing they'll be back. With all the cameras-DNa. They will be caught. However-unfortuately- they start killing- to not go back. What a shame protective custody in prison is. Sry if I was to blunt. You are very right as well.
They didn't want to. Because they didn't want to cause trouble. Or any issues with the uncle. Which is absolutely foul. They failed their daughter and I hope they rott for it.
@@boogiedownn2870 some parents don't act because they are that overwhelmed with life that they don't know how to act, thoughts get pushed to the far back of their minds, to the point that they completely dont see a problem unless its in the open they ain't looking for trouble, most "good" people do this and when their gut is talking to them they dont act because most people will think they are over reacting being silly, stupid, even disgusted with themselves to even think like that. Their relationship was off. The mum kept saying " it was a normal day" which means it was anything but normal.
There was definitely also a societal expectation, even as recent as 20 years ago, that family ties should take precedent and you shouldn’t “rock the boat” without clear evidence, allowing a lot of sexual predators to act without restraint towards their victims. I’m glad there’s been a normalization more recently on acting on that gut feeling and not resisting burning down bridges due to “well, they’re family”, and I hope we continue to see trends in that direction because people are most often abused, manipulated and assaulted by those who should protect them.
It’s been over 20 years, does he really think keeping her remains a secret is really gonna help him in any way? Or is it just spite that’s keeping where her body is a secret? A cruel, disgusting monster that man is.
They keep the location of the body a secret because that way they can get periodic escapes from prison to talk to lawyers, police ect, and hit the vending machines in the conference rooms, the products of which they then use as payment for protection from other inmates.
I hate the fact that so many people were protecting this monster! Her friend told her dad her hand was being held by this maniac and although he thought this was weird he didn't want to get involved and cause trouble. So disappointing and so sad of a story.....just awful
I thought the same thing. I wouldn't have been thinking about any drama it would cause, I'd have told her parents "look, he was holding her hand. My daughter thinks it's weird, I definitely think it's weird. Idk what's going on, but I felt you needed to know this, as her parents." Easy as that! Let the parents take it from there.
I was knowing a teenage girl(years ago) she was 14! She told me she was abused: sexually and emotionally by her own dad! The rest of her family founds and all of them: mother, uncles said to the girl to keep quite and they protect the monster. A long horror story(english is not my language, so this is the reason it is broken)
@@mrgrumpyjinx no worries, understood exactly what you were saying. Yeah, that is quite a horror story. I couldn't imagine protecting anyone but the victim.
@@chelseapthib36 there is kinda 12 years from the story! The girl grew up as a beautiful woman (now she have, i think 25-26). I was trying to contact her but she ignores me everytime i found her on social media(she's like 300 miles away from my town). Back then, in 2010 when it was happen, there was a police investigation but the girl, under the presion of her entire family, she told to the police she lied about being sexually abused by her father but there are phone voice calls recorded when that monster admitted he abused his daughter from the age of 11 until the 14 years old when she told me what is happening. I was wondering why she doesn't tell her mom but soon i was about to found that her mom is truly evil as her father! She told her daughter if she put her dad in prison, she will abandoned her daughter! And so many other things to emotionally blackmail the girl! Again, sorry for my broken english! 12-13 yeare from that moment and i am still mad about it! Mad bcz i couldn't do more to fight against that evil family! But the weird thing is that the girl torn the back on me and one day she texted me: "please leave from this story and let it be, my dad promise me he will never touched me again and i need him in my life" the text message i was showing to the police but they said if the girl does not press charges they can't do anything! 😩😒😐
"Thirty victims over a 20-year period" after forcibly detaining a 14-year-old girl in his house... and NOTHING was done about that by the police?!? Also, yes, this was nearly two decades ago, but Danielle's parents couldn't find out any info on that at all, especially after his peculiar behavior with their daughter? Not blaming, but come on, folks... if someone made my dog feel uncomfortable like that, they would not be welcomed in my home ever!!! Still watching though & thanks for the upload. Never have heard of this case.
It is more likely that the 30 cases only came to light when Campbell was arrested and victims came forward. By the late 90's with the advent of computers, police would have acted if families had made formal complaints - sadly Danielle may have escaped his attentions if they had.
I actually stopped a friend of mine from visiting after my very sensitive and intuitive dog exhibited sings of anxiety and irritation and fear every time he visited. I took that as a conversation with my dog that said "he does bad things to me when you're in the other room" OR "this person is bad, please heed my warning" . I did this because my dog is my family, he guards me loyally, is my therapy on difficult days since I live alone and shows me love all the time. Sometimes he just has to wag his tail when I enter my kitchen and I feel better. So, yeah, parents ... come on!! Your child is the priority here. Note the price of not hearing/understanding/asking/believing? IT IS TOO HIGH!!!
I'm sorry, I never victim blame but in this case, what the hell is wrong with her parents? They don't want to cause trouble in the family and they don't want to upset the uncle? They don't have to be nasty... Simply tell him that he's embarrassing her and needs to back off. If he doesn't get the message then he needs to be asked to leave - and if it causes problems, too bad!
I agree. Whether it's 1901 or 2001 an uncle imposing and forcing himself into the life of his shy 15 year old niece should have set alarm bells ringing . But hindsight is always 20/20.The hate and loathing the parents must feel for the murderous pervert would be beyond words.
Maybe you should read up on hindsight bias so you can stop asserting it. It’s often only after the abuse has taken place, with the benefit of hindsight, that social workers and psychologists can recognize grooming behaviors. I'm sure the parents had conflicting feelings and valued those relationships, esp the parent whose family of orientation it was. Clearly it was going to cause rifts bc even after his arrests, including the c.p. charges, their relationship blew up irreparably.
I can’t imagine the guilt those parents might feel - years of red flags and they never shut him out. I know it is more complicated when it is family, but the line was crossed many times.
What’s with the friend’s father not telling her parent’s about the hand holding incident?? WTH? Danielle had told her friend, his daughter, the daughter told her dad (they clearly knew it was wrong, so they both tried to tell a responsible adult - and that “adult” chose to keep stum so that HE was not to be seen as a person interfering. You’re kidding me? What a cop out, he’s culpable too. When kids say something to you about creepy Inappropriate behaviour, it is your bloody damn duty of care to do something about it. Hope he sleeps well at night - 🤬 Pathetic man.
I know exactly what it's like to be a mother of a murdered child. My son was murdered in 2015. The worse thing a person could go through. My prayers for them. Love from Iowa.
Sadly it's probably VERY likely that he'll NEVER give up the body, that way he always remains in control of her and also because without her body nobody will be able to tell what horrible acts he committed on her! I think Helens law is a great law!
Unfortunately the justice of the UK still feels that killers should be released, even if a body location is never revealed by the killer, eventually. That is UK justice for you. And the judges still have the front to be termed "justice".
Also if he admits where the body is he can’t say he was railroaded..like he did with all the other girls and still claims his innocence!! Everyone needs to see this, he’s about to get out!!
Beside believing in Biblical eye for an eye , imo they need solitary confinement until location is released, it’s ridiculous to let these people hold the bargaining chips when they have no humanity themselves
Man, what kind of dad lets some creep make his daughter uncomfortable? I don't care if he's family or not, that isn't happening to my daughter! And if the rest of the family has a problem with it then they can invite him over to play with their kids. I don't need them in my life if they want to defend someone like this. Your kids look to the parents for protection and safety and should always feel safe in their own home. That's one of the reasons it's called home. Incidents like this are some of the most disturbing that I see on any channel. Damnit, when your kids tell you something, believe them! And take action to protect them because, like it or not, that's your damn job!
Yes, I'm not quite sure why the parents and the rest of her family (i mean the adults) were so hesitant to take action or at least ask Danielle the right questions. They are not to blame though; normal people don't assume the worst from other people all the time. And also, I'm sure the parents have taken their own guilt trips a million times. 😞
Blaming the parents, who are victims also inthis case, is very unreasonable and unfair. We have the benefit of hindsight and the knowledge of what actually went on. Danielle's parents did not. Also, times were a little different in 2001. We were not as fully aware of the degree and complexities of such crimes as we are today. Remember! No UA-cam; no FaceBook or other such sites except for a few much less used sites. But most important, is the fact that Danielle's loving parents are NOT in any way to blame for not being able to foresee the awful futuree that they would all face.
I'd not hesitate to stop contact with a husband of either of my sisters if they behaved that way towards my daughter. I also question the father of her friend not saying something. Tragic.
I’m sure he picked people who had no boundaries to be his victims. You refuse to protect yourself and you leave your loved ones unprotected as well. The father let this guy he didn’t trust marry his sister and be in his house most days a week and didn’t even kick him out then 🤦♀️. I mean, he can’t control what his sister does but why wouldn’t you do something more if you didn’t like the guy. Ugh. He’s probably been abusing her since she was a child or something and then finally killed her! 🤦♀️
@@pineywoodslawandcrimeI feel bad for them but they were enablers. Letting him Come over 3-4 times a week having multiple incidents and letting him hang with their 15 year old. These parents failed plain and simple.
This is the channel that I personally look forward to the most... Y'all nearly always put out cases that I haven't heard of before and anyone into true crime knows how rare that is! I just wanted to let you guys know how appreciated y'all really are, and also let y'all know that I'm constantly plugging the channel when I comment on other videos. I can't wait to see you guys get the recognition y'all so clearly deserve. Prayers and Blessings from Bayou Sorrel, Louisiana!
If someone witnesses or hears about abuse or inappropriate behavior of an adult towards a minor, please SPEAK UP, regardless of how it may affect relationships, etc. The welfare of any child is far more important. 🗣👮♂️
Hello, I'd like to report the abuse of over 1,400 children in Rotherham, (Police) can I have your address, someone will be round asap to take your children into care!
This is my favorite true crime channel. I love your narration and the clips and photos you include for viewers. You present the facts without the weird inflections and biases. It’s not too sensationalized. You cover cases that are interesting (and tragic). Excellent work!
As a father to a beautiful baby girl stuff like this makes me paranoid about the future. How to strike the balance between keeping them safe and not being overprotective and the importance of your daughter being comfortable to share anything and everything with my wife and me Such a sad story this
congratulations on your baby! here are some things to keep in mind that i've learned. be honest with your child and learn how to handle difficult subjects in an age-appropriate way. treat them as a person and not as an object from day one. if you want to be respected as a parent, you have to earn it; you're not entitled to it. learn to manage anger so you never yell at your kids or worse hit them. listen to your child and engage with them so they know that their thoughts and interests are important. set a good example for them on how to deal with other people. lastly, apologize to them when you're wrong or make a mistake so they know they don't have to hide their own errors. parenting is hard but if you try to be a good parent and you reach out for help when you need it you'll do fine. with regards to keeping them safe from child abusers, know that most of the time it's someone they already know. you were probably raised with warnings of stranger danger but that's not sufficient. you need to teach children about consent. it's not just about sexual things; your child is a person and has the right to bodily autonomy. if they don't want to be hugged or whatever then that must be respected. a child that knows they can say 'no' is a much safer child and one that will develop sympathy for others better. the statistics of abuse are scary and sometimes despite your best efforts it happens. if it does happen remember that it's probably not your fault and with the above advice you're going to catch it early. good luck! i'm sure you'll be a good parent because you are already concerned about their future.
Excellent comment Kris. As a parent myself to 4 daughters - I think the best thing I ever did with my girls was to repeatedly tell them all that if ANYBODY ever even made them feel uncomfortable .. no matter WHO it was then they must tell us. No matter if it was a family member/ neighbour/teacher or whoever. And that I would always believe them and would ensure that they would never be left alone with them.
I was overprotective of my two sons. The thought of them being taken, was too much for me. I didn’t let them out alone. Overprotective? Yes. Do I still have my children, grown men now? Yes. Do I wish I’d have been less productive? I can’t answer that. I have them around now, how can you say you would do things differently? I remember when James Bulger went missing, and I remember thinking “it won’t be mine” and I think I’d be worse if I had girls.
Always listen to your gut feelings, take note of your first impressions (they are never wrong) and be observant of all interactions men have with your daughter. I will never forget when my next door neighbour, who I had perceived as a creep but had nothing to base it on, was over at our place for the 1st time, went to pick up my then 2 year old daughter. She yelled NOOO, pulled away and ran into her fathers arms. That spoke volumes to me as I had never seen her react like that to anyone and confirmed that my 1st impression was spot on.
Helen's Law is a great start, but why would they EVER release a killer?! How can a killer ever be deemed "no longer a risk to the public?" Self defense is one thing, but a murderer will always be a murderer and should never be released upon the public no matter what sort of "reform" they've experienced.
That's not true at all. Risk of committing another serious crime goes way down for most people (men) as they age. Often young people do things impulsively that they can't undo. But it is different for people like the guy in this case.
@@no_peace if it was in a state of rage and in a fight but not this monster. he groomed her for quite some time and lured her to wherever he took her. this is calculated premeditated abduction, imprisonment, murder, and most definitely sexual assault. he can’t be fit or cured. he’s cold blooded sycophat.
I wonder how long Tony's sister stood by her perverse, vile husband? I can't imagine defending a man after horrendous pornographic images of children were found! Hell, no! That person would immediately be filed under "dead to me."
I have become obsessed with your channel. Its all I’ve been watching now for the past 3 days. You do an excellent job narrating what has happened! Thank you RIP to all victims
Your voice needs to be on tv …. Great knowledge you tell it so you can really Grasp the depths and severity of the case .. you deserve more recognition for your great Chanel
I was groomed by a family member as an adolescent girl. Luckily, I somehow found the strength to break off the utterly inappropriate "friendship" and my parents made sure to keep him away. My family were completely cut off by the rest of the family, and 35 years later, have no contact with them. Apparently, in the family's opinion, protecting a 14 year old girl from a man twice her age is worse than the man's inappropriate actions.
In dysfunctional families, there's a fear that if you pull a loose thread it will all come apart, and more victims will disclose, and half the family could end up being charged. "If he goes to jail I couldn't afford to keep the house." Or even worse "I didn't complain when your grandfather did the same to me, so stop making trouble " Many former victims become enablers.
Although I subscribe to and watch many other true crime channels, Truly Criminal is my absolute favourite and I look forward to every new video! You are respectful, victim focused and incredibly detailed. I learn more information from your obvious meticulous research, even when I've seen or heard the case covered elsewhere. And despite me being from the UK you always manage to cover some cases, such as this, that slipped by me. Thank you for your hard work 😊 x
I remember when I was walking home from school, a man pulled up in a grey car, and asked directions, asked me if I would show him . I ran off and am so glad I had the presence of mind to run
The care and respect you give the victims in your videos is, in my opinion, second to none, and it's also really nice to see that you give some time to think of the officers involved in such cases who are likely deeply affected too, especially the family liaison officers. Please keep doing what you're doing by bringing attention to these cases
Children get taught about stranger danger but it's always the ones closest to home to be careful of. I learnt that myself the hard way growing up,now I trust no one around my 3 nieces. And I'm talking FAMILY MEMBERS. Not strangers,people who have married into the family or family friends. Actual FAMILY. So sad you can't even trust family members but unfortunately it usually happens within the family to young girls. Mine started with comments and remarks that made me feel uncomfortable and a serious interest in what I was doing,who I was with,where I was if I wasnt home. Look after you're daughters/nieces etc. It ruins lives forever the damage that gets caused not only to the victim but others so if you think something isnt right then say something, if they are lying you will know. I was asked and I said no in fear what he may do to me until I had no choice because it broke me mentally and now 14 years later and after a pregnancy by my abuser her I still stand trying to be the best auntie I can be to those girls. I wouldnt wish what I've been through and what I'm still going through on my worst enemy. Stay safe everyone 💜💙
It never mentioned if they had investigated the neighbour's decking he said he was building the day Danielle went missing. Though it's highly unlikely they didnt. I think the police did a thorough investigation which ultimately allowed for a murder conviction despite there being no body found. They also worked tirelessly on trying to locate her body, as did the public volunteers. May she be found and laid to rest giving her family at least some comfort.
Good thought! Or possibly any other construction projects he may have been on at the time... Or what about the area towards the diy shop he supposedly had as an alibi? If he did go there actually after the murder perhaps he ditched her somewhere along that travelled path, and it's just that no one remembered him being in the shop like he thought they would have ...
It's more likely he buried her at the construction site of a supermarket in Grays. This happened around the same time construction began. I still live in Grays, and I remember how big the construction was. I took up the space of a large bus station, several car parks, and rerouted several roads, as well as diverting a lot of footpaths. The construction began in 2001 and was completed some time in early 2002, with the store opening in May of that year.
Please consider doing the cold case of 2003 Megan McDonald Middletown NY.. it was a big case for the mid Hudson Valley i think she was 17-18 & the teen was found in a dumpster murdered ..everyone who ran in that inner circle know who killed her the fact they have not been brought to justice is just crazy.
I was just reading about her case today, funny to see you're requesting it! I actually watched a video of her mother pleading for any info in the case. Very sad!
@@Lissa11638 YES!! NYS Trooper/Sherrifs dropped the ball somewhere, every few years they put up a crimestoppers billboard about her - Middletown /Newburgh are not large cities but they have a dark underbelly of drugs coming up from NYC.. and the boyfriend ran in those circles
30 Victims over 20 years?! Who let this Demon out of jail? & for what purpose!!!!?😡smh. I’m getting sick and tired of hearing these sick predators out of jail! That’s why they keep re-offending because their not held accountable. But of course for weed, they literally think your El Chapo and will go above & beyond to persecute you. IT’S DISGUSTING & I’M MAD.
As a parent, if the Uncle was released and allowed out in public, I would make sure he could never harm another child again. I would beat the hell out of him, until he told me where my child's remains are and if he died and I went to prison, at least I would die knowing my child was found and that my family could have some closure!
There was one parent who shot the predator after his son was molested. One shot. He didn’t care if he was going to jail or not, he wasn’t going to let him possibly walk free. And probably would of as the predator was very smug and confident
This family had a lot of serious inner-politics that got in the way of something crucial--addressing this problem with their uncle before he could act.
UNBELIEVABLE that the perve was still cruising around, FAKING text messages, and not in custody. HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY HAPPEN even AFTER they’d found his & her DNA on her stockings???? What kind of a backwoods is that???? This INFURIATES me. Why wouldn’t the father want to visit him in jail and apply pressure? Way to go Woke Essex, protecting criminals is the antithesis of your duties.
Because he's white...whites on whites are much more lenient......if you haven't noticed.... So accept the consequences by not being strict on justice as you do against blacks..
So sad. I remember this case from when it happened but not really finding out this much info about it. Credit to the Police and the number of people who searched. It always amazes me. RIP Danielle.
I know I've made the suggestion to you in the past, so I don't mean to be a bother, but it would be really great if you took a look into the cold case of Kelly Nolan out of Madison/Waunakee, Wisconsin. It's been almost 15 years since her passing, and there's been no progress on the case. You could inspire a new investigation.
I must say I find it very strange, disturbing and evil that the parents of her father, HER GRANDPARENTS, weren't on their sons side and rather went with the daughter who braught the murderer of their grandfaughter into the family.
@@slinkiegirl2001 Many things are difficult to explain... But your comment is very accurate among many families...Dont want to get too deep on youtube 😐
The police said that this man had been taking photographs of young teenage girls for a twenty year period and only turned into the police on one occasion. Even then he was able to conceal the facts from his family, so he was obviously extremely manipulative and adept at appearing very harmless in his actions around Danielle. I suspect Danielle was naïve and simply thought that he was her friend right up until the moment he showed his true devious intent.
I'll NEVER understand why Child Predators are allowed out of jail, if the authorities even get that far, after a few years! As far as I'm aware, of everything we know about these monstrous people, in the vast majority, Rehabilitation isn't possible for them. Mostly, they just get better at hiding it, at manipulation. They don't reform! So why aren't they treated that way?! Preying on innocent children is arguably the worst of offenses, together with rape/other sexual assault/incest/molestation, and murder. Their sentences & treatment in the judicial system should reflect that! Prey on a child, get caught & convicted, you should be locked away from society, for the protection of other innocents, for the rest of your life! Such crimes are heinous & should be regarded & punished, as such!
Guys, the quality of these videos is just incredible. You're probably now the best true crime channel I follow. I really hope you keep growing because you deserve ten times the followers you have already.
This is partly the fault of her parents, if anybody was too interested in my child I would not care how embarrassing it might be I would tell him to Stay the Hell Away from them, or else. Police would be called if it ever happened again. If they had called they would have learned of his history.
Love this channel!! Always so accurate and interesting. Always covering cases that are rarely heard of. Thank you!!! Stuart is a sick and dangerous man. What he did is unforgivable. I don't think there is ever closure when a child is taken so heniously. 🙏❤️🕊️
Shouldn't she have used the word homebody?🤔 Meaning: a person who likes to stay at home, especially one who is perceived as unadventurous. Homely (BRITISH meaning) (of a place or surroundings) simple but cosy and comfortable, as in one's own home. "a modern hotel with a homely atmosphere" The American meaning for homely is 'unattractive or plain in appearance'.
Another well produced video. Very creepy, the uncle must’ve disposed of her body in a public dumpster or something to get rid of it so quickly and with no trace of her ever being found despite all the search efforts. Maybe a video sometime on Millie Dowler or the serial killer that was mentioned?
I live where this horrific and tragic case happened, and I can tell you that this still haunts the community and to this day people still are affected by this case, it’s no lie when it’s mentioned how it affected everybody here, it truly did and does, Danielle jones will never be forgotten around here
Im surprised this channel doesnt have more subscribers, the work you put into your channel is amazing and greatly appreciated. Sending ✌ and ❤ from Chicago.
Smashing job. Well done, you! This is such a heartrending case. That poor, poor family. I cannot even imagine not ever knowing where Danielle's body is located. Just horrible. RIP sweet girl. Love and Bless to the family. Thank you for doing yet another incredible job of research and editing. You're both bloody brilliant.
No one wanted to interfere, no one wanted to rock the boat, no one wanted to cause strain with family relationships, so they allowed him to prey on her. I grieve for her parents, but I'll tell you this, none of that would have happened under my watch. None of it.
I'm really loving your channel!! I am hooked on these crime cases and know most of them!! You do them very well and have a very soothing voice!! This is a terrible cases, poor girl prayers to her and her family!!🙏🙁
Campbell is absolutely disgusting. His voice is so creepy and sleazy. It's clear that he was obsessed with Danielle and underage girls in general.Poor baby. Danielle had her whole life ahead of her. RIP Danielle ❤️
The cheography / video production quality of this video is absolutely outstanding. I've watched every single one of your videos since the very beginning and this 1st class.
It should 100 percent be against the law to not give the body’s whereabouts or what they did, and not get instant life. No parole. “No body, no parole” instead of “no body, no crime” 🤦🏽♀️
To imagine saying goodbye to my daughter as she leaves for school and never see her again is just heart breaking. And for these parents its reality, can't imagine how difficult it is.
I really enjoy your videos so much. When I first started listening I wondered if they were reposting of a episodes from a true crime tv channel; they really are that impressive, to me. You are truly very talented and produce professional quality content. I look forward to your videos each week.
What happened to Danielle could have been prevented if her parents had told Stuart to stay away from her. Tbh, I wouldn’t give a damn if I caused a riff in my family by telling a creep to stay away from my kids. If certain members of my family defend the creep, I will cut off contact with them! It’s a parent’s job to protect their kids and Danielle’s parents failed in that department because they never sat her down and made her tell them what was going on. If Danielle had told her parents what Stuart was doing to her, they could have put a stop to it and she would still be alive today!
He stalked her at school I don't think them telling him would have prevented this, I highly agree they're at some fault in this but they needed to move and leave get far away from that disgusting monster.
@Meep Mop-Nope, don't move away...a FAT LIP, BLACK EYES or BROKEN RIBS would have solved the problem nicely. Maybe an ACCIDENTAL TRIP DOWN SOME STAIRS, perhaps a "kitchen accident" involving a sharp knife. A one-eyed predator approached my tall, beautiful 12yo daughter in the elevator in the building where we lived. She ran down the hall to our apt & told me what happened. I raced down 5 flights of steps, confronted him exiting the building & PROMISED TO FINISH BLINDING HIM if he so much as breathed the same air as my daughter. At the time, I was brandishing a SHARP, 24" long, 2-tined BARBECUE FORK. He sputtered apologies, claiming he did not know how young she was because of her height. I reiterated my "PROMISE" & I have not seen him from that day (18years ago) to this. My daughter is now 30yo, with a great career & relationship.
You blaming her parents and the victim is in very poor taste. You have no knowledge of the inter workings of their family, family dynamics or what they went through at the time. The only thing that would have prevented any of this is if Stuart had not done what he done. Full stop. You’re very weird, judgmental and you fail in the empathy department. See how easy that was?
My parents would not have hesitated to tell him to step off and if someone treated my child this way, so would I. If you’re in this position it’s your DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN. (That’s the TL;DR) The days are gone when this type of behavior should ever be excused away or overlooked. You can say the facts without moralizing, or protecting the parents conduct or blaming the parents and remain neutral bc the fact is that if they had to do over again they’d almost certainly do it differently! If they were speaking they would tell people to do it differently with their own children. I know that for a fact, as Danielle’s mother (in the actual documentary this is based on) said that she wishes she had. She said you can get over a row or argument if it comes to nothing, but you cannot ever get over losing your child! Danielle’s friend and her friend’s father knew that Danielle’s uncle took her to the movies and held her hand! That parent didn’t interfere out of worry that he’d be interfering in their life, even knowing it was very wrong and telling his own daughter it was not ethical conduct. **If you see your child’s friend subjected to this, you need to address it with the parents, and if they don’t act, report it!** The cases we DON’T hear about are cases where the right things were done. We don’t hear about arguments people have. We’ll never know how they might’ve turned out.
Thank you to all the police officers that searched n worked endless days n nights in search of this girl they were really great with this one huge thanks 🖤
I was a child who lived in the same town as Danielle, when i got older I went to her school. They had a beautiful indoor garden in memory of her next to the science department. I am not sure if it is still a fixture in the school, but i hope it is. Of all the true crime I have listened to on YT, I've not heard anyone covering this case. Thank you for doing this. I havent lived in East Tilbury for many, many years, but I can tell you how insular and connected the community was in those days, and her loss was felt for many years after her disappearance. Any information that provides closure for her family is long overdue, gods know they deserve it
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode! 👌🏼 is this a new variety of content? ie; "Vanished"? I think this type of installation would be really popular and you have so many cases of missing people in Wales alone that could warrant lengthy episodes!
I love this channel you’re superb! So sorry for Danielle & her parents.. This monster should be denied food & rest until he tells police where she is, it’s disgusting behaviour
Remember her disappearance vividly, especially as my sister was about the same age as Danielle at the time so it struck a chord with my parents. Remember watching the Crimewatch episode too, seeing the pain in her parent's faces. The scariest part is there's a chance Stuart Campbell could be released one day soon, even his own brother is trying to keep him behind bars. I just hope Danielle can be found and laid to rest one day.
I’ve been working in East Tilbury, Essex a lot over the past 6 months, especially along Coronation Avenue where Danielle was last seen! Each day I’ve driven through the area wondering where she could be!
Parents need to protect their children from 'innocent' attention at all costs. I don't care if it means fighting with your family. They should have stopped him from even coming to the house. I'm not saying it's their fault but unfortunately you can no longer trust anybody with your child.
My dad wouldn’t have anyone coming to the house that made any of his girls uncomfortable and my mum would certainly not be slow in making it known no creepy behaviour would be tolerated
So many people who saw things but “didn’t want to interfere” or “didn’t want to cause issues in the family”. We all need to do better to protect the children in our communities. This is shameful.
This is super sad. The UK still has a big problem with child predators. I'd like to hear your take on grooming gangs, and how fear of being racist has hampered prosecution of these monsters. Unfortunately, someone close to the victim is often the one who is taking advantage. Hopefully, the UK will take steps to warn the public of sex offenders as they do in the US. You did a good job with this story...
I’d like to hear your take on the Grooming gangs too. I’m in Australia and it’s hard to find out more about it, there is a few documentaries but not as many as you’d expect on these horrific crimes.
If you actually believe that these crimes are a more significant problem in the UK than in the US then you’re either greatly misinformed or delusional. No other highly developed country comes close to rivalling America in terms of these predatory offences (and I have no allegiance to the UK nor the USA).
@@deathbycheese850 agreed! Complete Gronks. And some are now out of Gaol too! I’d also like it if they covered the “Family Murders” of South Australia (the group of SOuth Australian elites kidnapping, raping and holding captive for days/weeks then killing them.) ive been fascinated about this since I was a kid, there is a great book about it, but only really 2 documentaries about it. And a couple of podcasts. It’s just crazy that this case was so gruesome and high profile at the time and especially when they took the news readers son. But there is hardly anything out there about it? As you probably know they only ever convicted one bloke, but he was like the groups lackey, an expendable part of the group, of high profile elite members of society who many say were doctors, lawyers, judges etc. those poor young boys. They thibgs that were done to them are truly horrific
There is two people from Waterbury, CT missing . The first one is Lynette Hunter aka Winkle. She used to play with us in out yard. Winkie disappeared in 1988. She went to NYC with a male friend and went into a store and was never heard from again. This disturbs me much. Also a young man ten years later missing in NYC after going to store. I don't know the young man's name but I knew his father most of my life. No one is looking for these people. Can you take a look. Maybe someone is willing to say what happened back then now 😶
I remember watching this when I was younger and being terrified. Tilbury is 10 minutes from where I grew up. Heartbreaking case. I hold out hope that one day she will be found
Why did the school only call the parents at 14h30 to say their daughter was not at school? Surely the school should've called in the morning when they saw she was not there. The police could have started looking for her much sooner!
@@erickaklocek240 I live and work in Turkey now. If a student is not present at my class I notify principal, they call the parents and make sure the kid is safe. Even if the kid was present in previous class and is not in my class the procedure is same. school calls parents. If teacher is absent or something happened and can’t attend the class, kids are not just dismissed and sent home. they can call parents to come and get them, but otherwise they stay put till the end of the class day. I like this system. It leaves no window for the students to just wonder off. I always tell my students to notify me if they are going to skip the class some do some don’t but hey at least we try
I live in Birmingham 🇬🇧 and we have a huge underground child abuse ring thing. Disgusting it really is, so sick the world we live in. I'm going to hug my daughter even more tonight. Hope this family has atleast learned to be happy again after this. Poor girl my condolences
wanted to add ,i think your uploads are amazing..very well done..also its refreshing to have somone that cares about the videos produced rather than comedick lol adverts that i think ruin and insult people featured in these videos that have gone through peoples worst nightmares..thank you again..
What’s wrong with telling the guy to back off, that you want some privacy with your family and his constant presence is interrupting that. Happens all the time in families where one person oversteps their boundaries and need to be reminded of it. Jeez.
Danielle was clearly uncomfortable with her uncle sitting beside her on the couch. That would have been the time to remove that so called piece of humanity from her presence and to let it be clearly known he was no longer welcome anywhere near their daughter, or home, ever again. I realize hindsight is a wonderful thing but by gosh all the signs were present, even to her father's gut feelings. Never, ever let your concerns for upsetting family dynamics be the reason you do not intervene. I do so wish Danielle had been able to confide in her parents about the notes and other things but as a survivor of such abuse I fully understand why she could not and did not. I'm just so sorry for her parents that Danielle was taken away from them by this conniving, cowardly, heartless predator.
After several comments about the use of the word ‘homely’ to describe Danielle, we’re going to clarify why we used it here.
In the United Kingdom, the word homely is used to describe someone that is a “homebird”, someone that is a friendly, stay-at-home person.
Words can mean different things depending on what part of the world you’re in.
We have never, and would never, use any derogatory or offensive terminology to describe anyone in our videos.
Thank you for the succinct explanation! Never knew, despite having a brother on duty at UK's Air Force base haha
Don't even explain yourself people are always offended about one thing or another when they don't mean a thing.
Great story, done extremely well.
Thanks for clarifying. You are right that words have different meanings depending on location. Here in the US homely means ugly. We would instead use the word homebody to describe a person who likes to stay home and not go out much.
I don’t comment often but I’d like to say I very much enjoy your work. You gals do an outstanding job with your research and production.
In the US we call ignorant, self righteous, holier than thou individuals "butt wipes" which means exactly that.
I still remember once when I was 12 ~ 13 years old, a man - older man - started paying attention to me and it made me very uncomfortable and embarrassed. My parents thought it was funny and would tease me about my 'boyfriend.' I cannot even put into words how furious it makes me now when parents find it amusing that their adolescent children are upset when someone makes unwanted sexual advances. It's not funny when that happens, people. Just look at how this turned out. That poor, innocent girl.
I was about that same age when a family friend starting making inappropriate comments to me, things like washing my back for me when I went to have a bath, washing my hair, etc. This was all done in front of my parents, but they didn't think it was out of order. Because I was already considered "too sensitive" by my parents, I never brought up my feelings about it to them. I still remember how I felt, though, some 50 years later...
@@spgard29 I feel every word and I am so sorry. Stay strong and know that person cannot touch you now.
That's disgusting, it's never funny when an older person acts like that with a teenager. My parents would never have stood by me in the same situation. If an adult was like that with my daughter I would never let that paedophile near us again.
I started getting attention from an older, married male when I was 11 and my mother shut it down immediately and I am so grateful that she did. She would have never entertained such deviancy.
Wow my Mom or Dad would never allow this to happen to me. It's sad to think some parents look the other way.
Most states in Australia have a 'no body, no parole' law for convicted murderers. Something i think should be implemented in a case like this and others I've heard
Wow I didn’t know this, thank you. I totally agree, it should absolutely be implemented in any case where the person/people responsible for their death refuses to say where the victims body is! X
Helen’s Law, after Helen McCourt
@@ApocaIypsoyeah but why was he released in 2020 if he never disclosed her body? 🤔
@@SagalDuran maybe he eventually did disclose that information?
But Australia has shit laws two girls got away with torturing there friend it’s sick how the police said because of there age they won’t be prosecuted where I’m from you would be arrested and locked up
I cannot begin to express how angry and upset it made me to get to the end of this video and realize he has never told them where her body is. How absolutely cruel and heartless.
A local woman to me was murdered by her husband and dismembered and he still won’t tell where he put her remains. Pure selfishness and need for control
With no body he can always claim innocent, and he probably wants to “keep” her like some sort of piece of property
@@whitedragoness23 If only they had death penalty as a leverage. he’d be singing all the way to her grave like a bird
It's nice that some of these perverts will give up the information in trade for the death penalty which should be applied worldwide IMO 🌐!
Maybe because the truth is too shocking? She might have died tied up in a basement somewhere, and as he knew the police were tracking him, he left her there to die alone of thirst, terror and hunger.
People need to shun darkness and evil and embrace the goodness in themselves and in others.
Rest in Peace all the defenceless people slain by evil and the families that loved and mourn them.
He will always be a risk to young girls. 20 years. Disgusting. Not saying where her body is and yet he can walk out of prison when his time is served? He should never be allowed out. Why should he have that when the family can't lay her to rest. I hate this "justice" system..
It’s disgusting & infuriating.
That’s why people take matters into their own hands👊🏽
I believe the Brits have a new law that forbids parole to offenders unless they confess the whereabouts of their victims.
he should've been in prison already for detaining that 14 year old! it's digusting
Yet he’s up for parole… time feels like it goes passed so fast regarding some things, doesn’t it? But I’m sure it didn’t go by fast for the Jones family 😢
Does anyone know if he got it? Does it really matter much? Bc If he doesn’t this time, he probably will the next… so sad.
The sentence "Killers deemed no longer a threat to the public." Makes my brain explode.
Depends on the case. Technically someone who runs over a suicidal person who jumps in front of an unlit highway in the middle of the night is a killer.
Mine too. Don’t care about the circumstances or the age of the murderer….a killer should live the rest of their life behind bars
You both make good points.
@@DaniHMcV thank God I'm no longer in jail.
They will only no longer be a threat when they have their genitals and fingers removed 😤
when it comes to a grown man and a young girl, even "isolated incidents" that could be "innocent misunderstandings" one can never be too careful. This can be gut instincts and they need to be explored further.
Absolutely right. I had to learn that the hard way myself with my daughter and a "family friend" being a low life scumbag. I caught a different type of feeling about it one night and I actually came out and asked if there was something that I should know about and was told "not at all" even whenever I pointed out that I had a real strong feeling in my gut that something was wrong. Whenever the facts were exactly what I started to feel the night I had asked about something going on. Well I'm here to tell you, that was going at the situation all wrong. Instead of just doing what I thought needed to be done and being done with it; I asked him and her that night and they both lied to me. The very next day the whole situation was exposed for the truth about what was happening. I was just a fool 100 thinking that I could give another man a little bit of slack in the rope I should have had around his neck from the very first day that I was introduced to him. The more I have thought about it I really don't think that the 5yrs that he was sentenced to prison for is anywhere close to enough. Irregardless of how it went down or if they both were lying to me whenever I had confronted them both or not. 27 - 15 is nowhere near acceptable to have happening. Especially when the difference in ages is only 3 years of difference in her entire life 15yrs with a 12 year difference between them. How tf can he still look at himself in the mirror without being sick? I guess since a child allowed it to happen or in my eyes even encouraged it; that POS doesn't see where it was ever wrong. Smgdh
@Last Chance I don't mean just in this case. Overall "explored" as in questioned/investigated further to see if there needs to be something reported to the police and provide your child with medical/psychological help. Children may not say anything because they're scared or embarrassed but asking them could bring out things.
Exactly!!!!
The thing is, once is a misunderstanding. Multiple times is suspicious. Guy would have got nowhere near my daughter -- especially if he had a previous conviction.
There’s never a misunderstanding. Come on.
Just as an update, as of January 2023, Stuart was denied release.
Also how about we just simply never release murderers from prison because they will ALWAYS present a danger to others.
More importantly- our tiny victims of pedophiles. They know there's NO cure as that's what gets their limp little noodle excited. They will re offend. They let them out- knowing they'll be back. With all the cameras-DNa. They will be caught. However-unfortuately- they start killing- to not go back. What a shame protective custody in prison is. Sry if I was to blunt. You are very right as well.
@@jerimiller5651 don’t apologise. You are correct.
Prision is a waste of $ for them...cheaper to have the death penalty
@@cranetrucker1298Life in prison is actually cheaper than the death penalty, but I do agree that these monsters are horrible.
I agree. No info on body, fine.
Then you can sit in prison until you do!😡
Parents always go with your gut feeling,we owe that to our children.
They didn't want to. Because they didn't want to cause trouble. Or any issues with the uncle. Which is absolutely foul. They failed their daughter and I hope they rott for it.
@@boogiedownn2870 some parents don't act because they are that overwhelmed with life that they don't know how to act, thoughts get pushed to the far back of their minds, to the point that they completely dont see a problem unless its in the open they ain't looking for trouble, most "good" people do this and when their gut is talking to them they dont act because most people will think they are over reacting being silly, stupid, even disgusted with themselves to even think like that. Their relationship was off. The mum kept saying " it was a normal day" which means it was anything but normal.
Trust no one.
There was definitely also a societal expectation, even as recent as 20 years ago, that family ties should take precedent and you shouldn’t “rock the boat” without clear evidence, allowing a lot of sexual predators to act without restraint towards their victims. I’m glad there’s been a normalization more recently on acting on that gut feeling and not resisting burning down bridges due to “well, they’re family”, and I hope we continue to see trends in that direction because people are most often abused, manipulated and assaulted by those who should protect them.
Don’t put your kids in that situation. Why does a grown man want to always hang out with a child? Movie? Fine then let’s ALL go.
It’s been over 20 years, does he really think keeping her remains a secret is really gonna help him in any way? Or is it just spite that’s keeping where her body is a secret? A cruel, disgusting monster that man is.
All part of his controlling personality. Typical narc with no care for anyone but himself
Yep... she is just his after all
It’s about him staying out of jail!!!
@@Illtakeamoodringtogoplease he’s not getting out without her body anyway, what’s gonna happen if he does tell?
They keep the location of the body a secret because that way they can get periodic escapes from prison to talk to lawyers, police ect, and hit the vending machines in the conference rooms, the products of which they then use as payment for protection from other inmates.
I hate the fact that so many people were protecting this monster! Her friend told her dad her hand was being held by this maniac and although he thought this was weird he didn't want to get involved and cause trouble. So disappointing and so sad of a story.....just awful
I thought the same thing. I wouldn't have been thinking about any drama it would cause, I'd have told her parents "look, he was holding her hand. My daughter thinks it's weird, I definitely think it's weird. Idk what's going on, but I felt you needed to know this, as her parents."
Easy as that! Let the parents take it from there.
Not wanting to be “rude” is why a lot of horrible things are allowed to go on.
I was knowing a teenage girl(years ago) she was 14! She told me she was abused: sexually and emotionally by her own dad! The rest of her family founds and all of them: mother, uncles said to the girl to keep quite and they protect the monster. A long horror story(english is not my language, so this is the reason it is broken)
@@mrgrumpyjinx no worries, understood exactly what you were saying. Yeah, that is quite a horror story. I couldn't imagine protecting anyone but the victim.
@@chelseapthib36 there is kinda 12 years from the story! The girl grew up as a beautiful woman (now she have, i think 25-26). I was trying to contact her but she ignores me everytime i found her on social media(she's like 300 miles away from my town). Back then, in 2010 when it was happen, there was a police investigation but the girl, under the presion of her entire family, she told to the police she lied about being sexually abused by her father but there are phone voice calls recorded when that monster admitted he abused his daughter from the age of 11 until the 14 years old when she told me what is happening. I was wondering why she doesn't tell her mom but soon i was about to found that her mom is truly evil as her father! She told her daughter if she put her dad in prison, she will abandoned her daughter! And so many other things to emotionally blackmail the girl! Again, sorry for my broken english! 12-13 yeare from that moment and i am still mad about it! Mad bcz i couldn't do more to fight against that evil family! But the weird thing is that the girl torn the back on me and one day she texted me: "please leave from this story and let it be, my dad promise me he will never touched me again and i need him in my life" the text message i was showing to the police but they said if the girl does not press charges they can't do anything! 😩😒😐
"Thirty victims over a 20-year period" after forcibly detaining a 14-year-old girl in his house... and NOTHING was done about that by the police?!? Also, yes, this was nearly two decades ago, but Danielle's parents couldn't find out any info on that at all, especially after his peculiar behavior with their daughter? Not blaming, but come on, folks... if someone made my dog feel uncomfortable like that, they would not be welcomed in my home ever!!!
Still watching though & thanks for the upload. Never have heard of this case.
It is more likely that the 30 cases only came to light when Campbell was arrested and victims came forward. By the late 90's with the advent of computers, police would have acted if families had made formal complaints - sadly Danielle may have escaped his attentions if they had.
I actually stopped a friend of mine from visiting after my very sensitive and intuitive dog exhibited sings of anxiety and irritation and fear every time he visited. I took that as a conversation with my dog that said "he does bad things to me when you're in the other room" OR "this person is bad, please heed my warning" . I did this because my dog is my family, he guards me loyally, is my therapy on difficult days since I live alone and shows me love all the time. Sometimes he just has to wag his tail when I enter my kitchen and I feel better. So, yeah, parents ... come on!! Your child is the priority here. Note the price of not hearing/understanding/asking/believing? IT IS TOO HIGH!!!
@@sharpedge3355 💯 gotta trust the doggos, they're the best judge of human character.
Right, I'm just mind boggled watching this!!!
@@laurabustos6560 Soooo pure are they, I just love'em!!!
I'm sorry, I never victim blame but in this case, what the hell is wrong with her parents? They don't want to cause trouble in the family and they don't want to upset the uncle? They don't have to be nasty... Simply tell him that he's embarrassing her and needs to back off. If he doesn't get the message then he needs to be asked to leave - and if it causes problems, too bad!
My thoughts exactly.
WONDERFULLY SAID!!! ✔️✔️✔️👍👍👍✌️🙏😷🇨🇦
I agree. Whether it's 1901 or 2001 an uncle imposing and forcing himself into the life of his shy 15 year old niece should have set alarm bells ringing . But hindsight is always 20/20.The hate and loathing the parents must feel for the murderous pervert would be beyond words.
Maybe you should read up on hindsight bias so you can stop asserting it. It’s often only after the abuse has taken place, with the benefit of hindsight, that social workers and psychologists can recognize grooming behaviors. I'm sure the parents had conflicting feelings and valued those relationships, esp the parent whose family of orientation it was. Clearly it was going to cause rifts bc even after his arrests, including the c.p. charges, their relationship blew up irreparably.
I'm sorry but these parents are either thick as two bricks or their relationship with their daughter was not as good as they claimed...
I can’t imagine the guilt those parents might feel - years of red flags and they never shut him out. I know it is more complicated when it is family, but the line was crossed many times.
Its never complicated…. My uncle was a pedo the minute we all found out his sisters ,mother , kids ,everyone disowned him
What’s with the friend’s father not telling her parent’s about the hand holding incident?? WTH? Danielle had told her friend, his daughter, the daughter told her dad (they clearly knew it was wrong, so they both tried to tell a responsible adult - and that “adult” chose to keep stum so that HE was not to be seen as a person interfering. You’re kidding me? What a cop out, he’s culpable too. When kids say something to you about creepy Inappropriate behaviour, it is your bloody damn duty of care to do something about it. Hope he sleeps well at night - 🤬 Pathetic man.
I know exactly what it's like to be a mother of a murdered child. My son was murdered in 2015. The worse thing a person could go through. My prayers for them. Love from Iowa.
So very sorry for your loss
🙏🏻
Damn, my condolences. I hope the criminal got justice
So sorry Barbara 💔
I’m so sorry for your loss, you and your son will be in my prayers
Sadly it's probably VERY likely that he'll NEVER give up the body, that way he always remains in control of her and also because without her body nobody will be able to tell what horrible acts he committed on her! I think Helens law is a great law!
Unfortunately the justice of the UK still feels that killers should be released, even if a body location is never revealed by the killer, eventually. That is UK justice for you. And the judges still have the front to be termed "justice".
Also if he admits where the body is he can’t say he was railroaded..like he did with all the other girls and still claims his innocence!! Everyone needs to see this, he’s about to get out!!
Beside believing in Biblical eye for an eye , imo they need solitary confinement until location is released, it’s ridiculous to let these people hold the bargaining chips when they have no humanity themselves
Awe, man. Spoiler :/
Pair him up with a snuggle buddy that's twice his size who loves to give morning cuddles first thing in the morning in prison.
Man, what kind of dad lets some creep make his daughter uncomfortable? I don't care if he's family or not, that isn't happening to my daughter! And if the rest of the family has a problem with it then they can invite him over to play with their kids. I don't need them in my life if they want to defend someone like this. Your kids look to the parents for protection and safety and should always feel safe in their own home. That's one of the reasons it's called home. Incidents like this are some of the most disturbing that I see on any channel. Damnit, when your kids tell you something, believe them! And take action to protect them because, like it or not, that's your damn job!
Yes, I'm not quite sure why the parents and the rest of her family (i mean the adults) were so hesitant to take action or at least ask Danielle the right questions.
They are not to blame though; normal people don't assume the worst from other people all the time.
And also, I'm sure the parents have taken their own guilt trips a million times. 😞
Blaming the parents, who are victims also inthis case, is very unreasonable and unfair. We have the benefit of hindsight and the knowledge of what actually went on. Danielle's parents did not. Also, times were a little different in 2001. We were not as fully aware of the degree and complexities of such crimes as we are today. Remember! No UA-cam; no FaceBook or other such sites except for a few much less used sites. But most important, is the fact that Danielle's loving parents are NOT in any way to blame for not being able to foresee the awful futuree that they would all face.
I'd not hesitate to stop contact with a husband of either of my sisters if they behaved that way towards my daughter. I also question the father of her friend not saying something. Tragic.
I’m sure he picked people who had no boundaries to be his victims. You refuse to protect yourself and you leave your loved ones unprotected as well.
The father let this guy he didn’t trust marry his sister and be in his house most days a week and didn’t even kick him out then 🤦♀️. I mean, he can’t control what his sister does but why wouldn’t you do something more if you didn’t like the guy. Ugh.
He’s probably been abusing her since she was a child or something and then finally killed her! 🤦♀️
Maybe she was not his biological daughter
The adults in her life failed her because they didn't want to come off as "confrontational" despite numerous warning signs.
Agreed. Her parents danced with the devil.
Was just thinkung about this. To hell with famm ties..hed be out for sure
I bet that they feel incalculable guilt and grief. I, personally, do not wish to judge them.
@@pineywoodslawandcrimeI feel bad for them but they were enablers. Letting him Come over 3-4 times a week having multiple incidents and letting him hang with their 15 year old. These parents failed plain and simple.
Imagine catering to the emotions of an adult over those of your own child 😩😩 just sad. My condolences.
This is the channel that I personally look forward to the most... Y'all nearly always put out cases that I haven't heard of before and anyone into true crime knows how rare that is! I just wanted to let you guys know how appreciated y'all really are, and also let y'all know that I'm constantly plugging the channel when I comment on other videos. I can't wait to see you guys get the recognition y'all so clearly deserve. Prayers and Blessings from Bayou Sorrel, Louisiana!
Absolutely agree 👍
Agreed. This is the only channel I have all the notifications on for!

Hey from England and I love the y’all thingy haha so y’all have a good day wherever y’all live - also is y’all just a southern thing?
COUNT ME IN !
TOTALLY 💯 AGREED !

If someone witnesses or hears about abuse or inappropriate behavior of an adult towards a minor, please SPEAK UP, regardless of how it may affect relationships, etc. The welfare of any child is far more important. 🗣👮♂️
"Hello, Id like to report the music industry for having an inappropriate relationship with minors"
Hello, I'd like to report the abuse of over 1,400 children in Rotherham,
(Police) can I have your address, someone will be round asap to take your children into care!
She did speak up. She told on him but nothing was done
This is my favorite true crime channel. I love your narration and the clips and photos you include for viewers. You present the facts without the weird inflections and biases. It’s not too sensationalized. You cover cases that are interesting (and tragic). Excellent work!
No Body No parole! Yes that's a good law
I really like your channel. You do a great job of telling these tragic stories in an empathetic and straightforward way.
As a father to a beautiful baby girl stuff like this makes me paranoid about the future. How to strike the balance between keeping them safe and not being overprotective and the importance of your daughter being comfortable to share anything and everything with my wife and me
Such a sad story this
Like you said, ya gotta strike a balance. I think the fact that you are aware of it, means you will be a very good father and keep the balance 👍
congratulations on your baby! here are some things to keep in mind that i've learned.
be honest with your child and learn how to handle difficult subjects in an age-appropriate way. treat them as a person and not as an object from day one. if you want to be respected as a parent, you have to earn it; you're not entitled to it. learn to manage anger so you never yell at your kids or worse hit them. listen to your child and engage with them so they know that their thoughts and interests are important. set a good example for them on how to deal with other people. lastly, apologize to them when you're wrong or make a mistake so they know they don't have to hide their own errors.
parenting is hard but if you try to be a good parent and you reach out for help when you need it you'll do fine. with regards to keeping them safe from child abusers, know that most of the time it's someone they already know. you were probably raised with warnings of stranger danger but that's not sufficient. you need to teach children about consent. it's not just about sexual things; your child is a person and has the right to bodily autonomy. if they don't want to be hugged or whatever then that must be respected. a child that knows they can say 'no' is a much safer child and one that will develop sympathy for others better.
the statistics of abuse are scary and sometimes despite your best efforts it happens. if it does happen remember that it's probably not your fault and with the above advice you're going to catch it early.
good luck! i'm sure you'll be a good parent because you are already concerned about their future.
Excellent comment Kris. As a parent myself to 4 daughters - I think the best thing I ever did with my girls was to repeatedly tell them all that if ANYBODY ever even made them feel uncomfortable .. no matter WHO it was then they must tell us. No matter if it was a family member/ neighbour/teacher or whoever. And that I would always believe them and would ensure that they would never be left alone with them.
I was overprotective of my two sons. The thought of them being taken, was too much for me. I didn’t let them out alone. Overprotective? Yes. Do I still have my children, grown men now? Yes. Do I wish I’d have been less productive? I can’t answer that. I have them around now, how can you say you would do things differently? I remember when James Bulger went missing, and I remember thinking “it won’t be mine” and I think I’d be worse if I had girls.
Always listen to your gut feelings, take note of your first impressions (they are never wrong) and be observant of all interactions men have with your daughter. I will never forget when my next door neighbour, who I had perceived as a creep but had nothing to base it on, was over at our place for the 1st time, went to pick up my then 2 year old daughter. She yelled NOOO, pulled away and ran into her fathers arms. That spoke volumes to me as I had never seen her react like that to anyone and confirmed that my 1st impression was spot on.
Helen's Law is a great start, but why would they EVER release a killer?! How can a killer ever be deemed "no longer a risk to the public?" Self defense is one thing, but a murderer will always be a murderer and should never be released upon the public no matter what sort of "reform" they've experienced.
That's not true at all. Risk of committing another serious crime goes way down for most people (men) as they age. Often young people do things impulsively that they can't undo. But it is different for people like the guy in this case.
@@no_peace fuck them. Their victims don't get a second chance, why should their killers? They deserve to rot in jail.
@@no_peace What age is, 'a young person', in your opinion?
@@no_peace if it was in a state of rage and in a fight but not this monster. he groomed her for quite some time and lured her to wherever he took her. this is calculated premeditated abduction, imprisonment, murder, and most definitely sexual assault. he can’t be fit or cured. he’s cold blooded sycophat.
So typical in the UK. They believe in reformation and second chances. It’s disgusting.
I wonder how long Tony's sister stood by her perverse, vile husband? I can't imagine defending a man after horrendous pornographic images of children were found! Hell, no! That person would immediately be filed under "dead to me."
I have become obsessed with your channel. Its all I’ve been watching now for the past 3 days. You do an excellent job narrating what has happened! Thank you RIP to all victims
Your voice needs to be on tv …. Great knowledge you tell it so you can really
Grasp the depths and severity of the case .. you deserve more recognition for your great Chanel
I was groomed by a family member as an adolescent girl. Luckily, I somehow found the strength to break off the utterly inappropriate "friendship" and my parents made sure to keep him away. My family were completely cut off by the rest of the family, and 35 years later, have no contact with them. Apparently, in the family's opinion, protecting a 14 year old girl from a man twice her age is worse than the man's inappropriate actions.
Yeah that is crazy. But I bet they’re paying for it everyday. If they are, I just feel for them
You’re so lucky they protected you. With family like that, who needs enemies?
@@amazingsupergirl7125 boggles my mind. At least the trash took themselves out.
In dysfunctional families, there's a fear that if you pull a loose thread it will all come apart, and more victims will disclose, and half the family could end up being charged.
"If he goes to jail I couldn't afford to keep the house."
Or even worse "I didn't complain when your grandfather did the same to me, so stop making trouble "
Many former victims become enablers.
God bless your parents . I on the other hand wish I could of escaped my parents ..
Although I subscribe to and watch many other true crime channels, Truly Criminal is my absolute favourite and I look forward to every new video!
You are respectful, victim focused and incredibly detailed. I learn more information from your obvious meticulous research, even when I've seen or heard the case covered elsewhere. And despite me being from the UK you always manage to cover some cases, such as this, that slipped by me. Thank you for your hard work 😊 x
I remember when I was walking home from school, a man pulled up in a grey car, and asked directions, asked me if I would show him . I ran off and am so glad I had the presence of mind to run
Wow, this hit hard! I'm watching on the anniversary of her death in the UK around the same time she disappeared 21 years ago. RIP Danielle.
The care and respect you give the victims in your videos is, in my opinion, second to none, and it's also really nice to see that you give some time to think of the officers involved in such cases who are likely deeply affected too, especially the family liaison officers.
Please keep doing what you're doing by bringing attention to these cases
Another prime example of trusting 'family' when you shouldn't trust a single person no matter their status!
Most child abuse happens in family settings - either relatives or close family friends.
@@arenzefischer8090 as a victim of incestuous molestation, you don't gotta tell me that.
Children get taught about stranger danger but it's always the ones closest to home to be careful of. I learnt that myself the hard way growing up,now I trust no one around my 3 nieces. And I'm talking FAMILY MEMBERS. Not strangers,people who have married into the family or family friends. Actual FAMILY. So sad you can't even trust family members but unfortunately it usually happens within the family to young girls. Mine started with comments and remarks that made me feel uncomfortable and a serious interest in what I was doing,who I was with,where I was if I wasnt home. Look after you're daughters/nieces etc. It ruins lives forever the damage that gets caused not only to the victim but others so if you think something isnt right then say something, if they are lying you will know. I was asked and I said no in fear what he may do to me until I had no choice because it broke me mentally and now 14 years later and after a pregnancy by my abuser her I still stand trying to be the best auntie I can be to those girls. I wouldnt wish what I've been through and what I'm still going through on my worst enemy. Stay safe everyone 💜💙
Listen to your children, believe them, get them justice
Your child's comfort and safety takes precedence over any possible issues with relatives. My child matters more than my BIL's feelings.
It never mentioned if they had investigated the neighbour's decking he said he was building the day Danielle went missing. Though it's highly unlikely they didnt. I think the police did a thorough investigation which ultimately allowed for a murder conviction despite there being no body found. They also worked tirelessly on trying to locate her body, as did the public volunteers. May she be found and laid to rest giving her family at least some comfort.
Good thought! Or possibly any other construction projects he may have been on at the time... Or what about the area towards the diy shop he supposedly had as an alibi? If he did go there actually after the murder perhaps he ditched her somewhere along that travelled path, and it's just that no one remembered him being in the shop like he thought they would have ...
I was wondering the exact same thing. My mind went straight to the deck when the said he worked on it.
It's more likely he buried her at the construction site of a supermarket in Grays.
This happened around the same time construction began.
I still live in Grays, and I remember how big the construction was.
I took up the space of a large bus station, several car parks, and rerouted several roads, as well as diverting a lot of footpaths.
The construction began in 2001 and was completed some time in early 2002, with the store opening in May of that year.
@@LostSoulNo301281 Hmm. Interesting. Maybe it's time for ground penetrating radar.

30 Victims over 20 years?! Who let this Demon out of jail? & for what purpose!!!!?😡smh. I’m getting sick and tired of hearing these sick predators out of jail! That’s why they keep re-offending because their not held accountable. But of course for weed, they literally think your El Chapo and will go above & beyond to persecute you. IT’S DISGUSTING & I’M MAD.
Hands down, favorite true crime channel ❣️ I love y'all so much ❤️
I get so excited when I see your channel has uploaded content. I utterly love your content and the way you make your videos and cover your case's 👍
As a parent, if the Uncle was released and allowed out in public, I would make sure he could never harm another child again. I would beat the hell out of him, until he told me where my child's remains are and if he died and I went to prison, at least I would die knowing my child was found and that my family could have some closure!
There was one parent who shot the predator after his son was molested. One shot. He didn’t care if he was going to jail or not, he wasn’t going to let him possibly walk free. And probably would of as the predator was very smug and confident
@@whitedragoness23 I bet that parent has the most respect in prison.
@@whitedragoness23 are you talking about the pedophile that was shot in the airport while on camera?
yeap he should be tortured until he tells them where she is.
@@whitedragoness23 single shot right to the dome too .
This family had a lot of serious inner-politics that got in the way of something crucial--addressing this problem with their uncle before he could act.
I think he caused most of it.
The tragic irony is that the family got messed up anyway, only a girl had to die, a preventable death, in the process.
Danielle: *felt really uncomfortable around Stewart*
Danielle's Aunt: *marries Stewart*
I just-
sickening how children always get ignored or told they’re lying
Screw the family, I'd have told Campbell to do one in no uncertain terms. I can live without a sister, never without my daughter.
UNBELIEVABLE that the perve was still cruising around, FAKING text messages, and not in custody. HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY HAPPEN even AFTER they’d found his & her DNA on her stockings???? What kind of a backwoods is that????
This INFURIATES me. Why wouldn’t the father want to visit him in jail and apply pressure? Way to go Woke Essex, protecting criminals is the antithesis of your duties.
Cops are pedos it's the only thing that makes sense
Were you paying attention? At that point they didn't even know if she was alive or not.
Because he's white...whites on whites are much more lenient......if you haven't noticed....
So accept the consequences by not being strict on justice as you do against blacks..
So sad. I remember this case from when it happened but not really finding out this much info about it. Credit to the Police and the number of people who searched. It always amazes me. RIP Danielle.
I know I've made the suggestion to you in the past, so I don't mean to be a bother, but it would be really great if you took a look into the cold case of Kelly Nolan out of Madison/Waunakee, Wisconsin. It's been almost 15 years since her passing, and there's been no progress on the case. You could inspire a new investigation.
You should leave this comment on Kendall Rae's channel, too.
Leave this on Trace Evidence also or Cold Case Files.
Please also suggest this to Stephanie Harlowe.
Ask that chapter
@@nett2569 I did. Truly Criminal and That Chapter are the only two true crime channels I watch.
I must say I find it very strange, disturbing and evil that the parents of her father, HER GRANDPARENTS, weren't on their sons side and rather went with the daughter who braught the murderer of their grandfaughter into the family.
Yes, I agree. Even listened it twice, because I thought I heard it wrong.
families are strange some familys have deep secrets of entrenched child sex abuse
@@slinkiegirl2001 Great comment 💯
@@DeeDerry thank you
@@slinkiegirl2001 Many things are difficult to explain... But your comment is very accurate among many families...Dont want to get too deep on youtube 😐
The police said that this man had been taking photographs of young teenage girls for a twenty year period and only turned into the police on one occasion. Even then he was able to conceal the facts from his family, so he was obviously extremely manipulative and adept at appearing very harmless in his actions around Danielle. I suspect Danielle was naïve and simply thought that he was her friend right up until the moment he showed his true devious intent.
I'll NEVER understand why Child Predators are allowed out of jail, if the authorities even get that far, after a few years! As far as I'm aware, of everything we know about these monstrous people, in the vast majority, Rehabilitation isn't possible for them. Mostly, they just get better at hiding it, at manipulation. They don't reform! So why aren't they treated that way?! Preying on innocent children is arguably the worst of offenses, together with rape/other sexual assault/incest/molestation, and murder. Their sentences & treatment in the judicial system should reflect that! Prey on a child, get caught & convicted, you should be locked away from society, for the protection of other innocents, for the rest of your life! Such crimes are heinous & should be regarded & punished, as such!
Your channel is so fantastic. I always look forward to your videos. You present these cases w such respect & honor to the victims and their families
Guys, the quality of these videos is just incredible. You're probably now the best true crime channel I follow. I really hope you keep growing because you deserve ten times the followers you have already.
Couldn't agree more!
I agree too!
People who stand by and watch evil are just as culpable as the one doing the evil……
Another amazing vid girls. Thank you for the content. RIP Danielle 💔
This is partly the fault of her parents, if anybody was too interested in my child I would not care how embarrassing it might be I would tell him to Stay the Hell Away from them, or else. Police would be called if it ever happened again. If they had called they would have learned of his history.
Amen, sister girl 🙏💯
Nope parents are Not to blame
..he is the monster and the blame ends there
Easy to blame when your not in their shoes.....they love their daughter !if they had known better they would have done better !
Love this channel!! Always so accurate and interesting. Always covering cases that are rarely heard of. Thank you!!! Stuart is a sick and dangerous man. What he did is unforgivable. I don't think there is ever closure when a child is taken so heniously. 🙏❤️🕊️
People aren't pissy about "homely" are they? It's quite obvious it isn't used as a put-down here.
Shouldn't she have used the word homebody?🤔
Meaning: a person who likes to stay at home, especially one who is perceived as unadventurous.
Homely (BRITISH meaning)
(of a place or surroundings) simple but cosy and comfortable, as in one's own home.
"a modern hotel with a homely atmosphere"
The American meaning for homely is 'unattractive or plain in appearance'.
Another well produced video. Very creepy, the uncle must’ve disposed of her body in a public dumpster or something to get rid of it so quickly and with no trace of her ever being found despite all the search efforts.
Maybe a video sometime on Millie Dowler or the serial killer that was mentioned?
I live where this horrific and tragic case happened, and I can tell you that this still haunts the community and to this day people still are affected by this case, it’s no lie when it’s mentioned how it affected everybody here, it truly did and does, Danielle jones will never be forgotten around here

No one wanted to interfere, no one wanted to rock the boat, no one wanted to cause strain with family relationships, so they allowed him to prey on her. I grieve for her parents, but I'll tell you this, none of that would have happened under my watch. None of it.

The cheography / video production quality of this video is absolutely outstanding. I've watched every single one of your videos since the very beginning and this 1st class.
Love this channel
It should 100 percent be against the law to not give the body’s whereabouts or what they did, and not get instant life. No parole. “No body, no parole” instead of “no body, no crime” 🤦🏽♀️
To imagine saying goodbye to my daughter as she leaves for school and never see her again is just heart breaking. And for these parents its reality, can't imagine how difficult it is.
I really enjoy your videos so much. When I first started listening I wondered if they were reposting of a episodes from a true crime tv channel; they really are that impressive, to me. You are truly very talented and produce professional quality content. I look forward to your videos each week.
What happened to Danielle could have been prevented if her parents had told Stuart to stay away from her. Tbh, I wouldn’t give a damn if I caused a riff in my family by telling a creep to stay away from my kids. If certain members of my family defend the creep, I will cut off contact with them! It’s a parent’s job to protect their kids and Danielle’s parents failed in that department because they never sat her down and made her tell them what was going on. If Danielle had told her parents what Stuart was doing to her, they could have put a stop to it and she would still be alive today!
I didn't blame her parents i know they are feeling guilty by trusted tony
He stalked her at school I don't think them telling him would have prevented this, I highly agree they're at some fault in this but they needed to move and leave get far away from that disgusting monster.
@Meep Mop-Nope, don't move away...a FAT LIP, BLACK EYES or BROKEN RIBS would have solved the problem nicely. Maybe an ACCIDENTAL TRIP DOWN SOME STAIRS, perhaps a "kitchen accident" involving a sharp knife. A one-eyed predator approached my tall, beautiful 12yo daughter in the elevator in the building where we lived. She ran down the hall to our apt & told me what happened. I raced down 5 flights of steps, confronted him exiting the building & PROMISED TO FINISH BLINDING HIM if he so much as breathed the same air as my daughter. At the time, I was brandishing a SHARP, 24" long, 2-tined BARBECUE FORK. He sputtered apologies, claiming he did not know how young she was because of her height. I reiterated my "PROMISE" & I have not seen him from that day (18years ago) to this. My daughter is now 30yo, with a great career & relationship.
While they should have done that it probably would have made him take her sooner then he did.
You blaming her parents and the victim is in very poor taste. You have no knowledge of the inter workings of their family, family dynamics or what they went through at the time. The only thing that would have prevented any of this is if Stuart had not done what he done. Full stop. You’re very weird, judgmental and you fail in the empathy department. See how easy that was?
My parents would not have hesitated to tell him to step off and if someone treated my child this way, so would I. If you’re in this position it’s your DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN. (That’s the TL;DR)
The days are gone when this type of behavior should ever be excused away or overlooked.
You can say the facts without moralizing, or protecting the parents conduct or blaming the parents and remain neutral bc the fact is that if they had to do over again they’d almost certainly do it differently! If they were speaking they would tell people to do it differently with their own children.
I know that for a fact, as Danielle’s mother (in the actual documentary this is based on) said that she wishes she had. She said you can get over a row or argument if it comes to nothing, but you cannot ever get over losing your child!
Danielle’s friend and her friend’s father knew that Danielle’s uncle took her to the movies and held her hand! That parent didn’t interfere out of worry that he’d be interfering in their life, even knowing it was very wrong and telling his own daughter it was not ethical conduct. **If you see your child’s friend subjected to this, you need to address it with the parents, and if they don’t act, report it!**
The cases we DON’T hear about are cases where the right things were done. We don’t hear about arguments people have. We’ll never know how they might’ve turned out.
Couldn't agree more. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you to all the police officers that searched n worked endless days n nights in search of this girl they were really great with this one huge thanks 🖤
These are a great series of videos. Well made and not sensationalist but straight to the point.
I was a child who lived in the same town as Danielle, when i got older I went to her school. They had a beautiful indoor garden in memory of her next to the science department. I am not sure if it is still a fixture in the school, but i hope it is. Of all the true crime I have listened to on YT, I've not heard anyone covering this case. Thank you for doing this. I havent lived in East Tilbury for many, many years, but I can tell you how insular and connected the community was in those days, and her loss was felt for many years after her disappearance. Any information that provides closure for her family is long overdue, gods know they deserve it
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode! 👌🏼 is this a new variety of content? ie; "Vanished"? I think this type of installation would be really popular and you have so many cases of missing people in Wales alone that could warrant lengthy episodes!
I love this channel you’re superb! So sorry for Danielle & her parents.. This monster should be denied food & rest until he tells police where she is, it’s disgusting behaviour
Never forget that Piers Morgan was at the helm of that phone hacking scandal that tortured Millie Dowler's parents with false hope.

Remember her disappearance vividly, especially as my sister was about the same age as Danielle at the time so it struck a chord with my parents. Remember watching the Crimewatch episode too, seeing the pain in her parent's faces. The scariest part is there's a chance Stuart Campbell could be released one day soon, even his own brother is trying to keep him behind bars. I just hope Danielle can be found and laid to rest one day.
'Crimewatch' was a great programme. I never missed it.
I’ve been working in East Tilbury, Essex a lot over the past 6 months, especially along Coronation Avenue where Danielle was last seen!
Each day I’ve driven through the area wondering where she could be!
i’ve watched so many videos about this case but everytime i just cry. it’s just devastating
If that had been my father, that perv would’ve been on the floor spitting teeth if he thought he’d been ‘over familiar’ with me.
Ughh, this case makes me so angry I don't even know what to say. Rest in eternal peace, Danielle.
Parents need to protect their children from 'innocent' attention at all costs. I don't care if it means fighting with your family. They should have stopped him from even coming to the house. I'm not saying it's their fault but unfortunately you can no longer trust anybody with your child.
My dad wouldn’t have anyone coming to the house that made any of his girls uncomfortable and my mum would certainly not be slow in making it known no creepy behaviour would be tolerated
Awesome Saturday surprise!!! Love your videos.
So many people who saw things but “didn’t want to interfere” or “didn’t want to cause issues in the family”. We all need to do better to protect the children in our communities. This is shameful.
This is super sad. The UK still has a big problem with child predators. I'd like to hear your take on grooming gangs, and how fear of being racist has hampered prosecution of these monsters. Unfortunately, someone close to the victim is often the one who is taking advantage. Hopefully, the UK will take steps to warn the public of sex offenders as they do in the US. You did a good job with this story...
I’d like to hear your take on the Grooming gangs too. I’m in Australia and it’s hard to find out more about it, there is a few documentaries but not as many as you’d expect on these horrific crimes.
If you actually believe that these crimes are a more significant problem in the UK than in the US then you’re either greatly misinformed or delusional. No other highly developed country comes close to rivalling America in terms of these predatory offences (and I have no allegiance to the UK nor the USA).

@@anhedonianepiphany5588 where did they say the UK had a bigger problem than the US? It's not a competition either.
@@deathbycheese850 agreed! Complete Gronks. And some are now out of Gaol too! I’d also like it if they covered the “Family Murders” of South Australia (the group of SOuth Australian elites kidnapping, raping and holding captive for days/weeks then killing them.) ive been fascinated about this since I was a kid, there is a great book about it, but only really 2 documentaries about it. And a couple of podcasts. It’s just crazy that this case was so gruesome and high profile at the time and especially when they took the news readers son. But there is hardly anything out there about it? As you probably know they only ever convicted one bloke, but he was like the groups lackey, an expendable part of the group, of high profile elite members of society who many say were doctors, lawyers, judges etc. those poor young boys. They thibgs that were done to them are truly horrific
There is two people from Waterbury, CT missing . The first one is Lynette Hunter aka Winkle. She used to play with us in out yard. Winkie disappeared in 1988. She went to NYC with a male friend and went into a store and was never heard from again. This disturbs me much. Also a young man ten years later missing in NYC after going to store. I don't know the young man's name but I knew his father most of my life. No one is looking for these people. Can you take a look. Maybe someone is willing to say what happened back then now 😶
I remember watching this when I was younger and being terrified. Tilbury is 10 minutes from where I grew up. Heartbreaking case. I hold out hope that one day she will be found
Ohhh cheers Elle, only 36 more minutes of already knowing the outcome!!!
@Elle...W.o.w!!! Keep up ya strong head up high!!!👍✌️🙏😷🇨🇦
Why did the school only call the parents at 14h30 to say their daughter was not at school? Surely the school should've called in the morning when they saw she was not there. The police could have started looking for her much sooner!
They do now. Lessons have been learnt.
I know a lot of them are automated system that call. Basically a robot voice saying your child missed this and that class on the same day.
@@erickaklocek240 I live and work in Turkey now. If a student is not present at my class I notify principal, they call the parents and make sure the kid is safe. Even if the kid was present in previous class and is not in my class the procedure is same. school calls parents. If teacher is absent or something happened and can’t attend the class, kids are not just dismissed and sent home. they can call parents to come and get them, but otherwise they stay put till the end of the class day. I like this system. It leaves no window for the students to just wonder off. I always tell my students to notify me if they are going to skip the class some do some don’t but hey at least we try
I live in Birmingham 🇬🇧 and we have a huge underground child abuse ring thing. Disgusting it really is, so sick the world we live in. I'm going to hug my daughter even more tonight. Hope this family has atleast learned to be happy again after this. Poor girl my condolences

Not members of the same community as in Bradford and Rochdale we hope. There's loads of them in Brum

What’s wrong with telling the guy to back off, that you want some privacy with your family and his constant presence is interrupting that. Happens all the time in families where one person oversteps their boundaries and need to be reminded of it. Jeez.
Danielle was clearly uncomfortable with her uncle sitting beside her on the couch. That would have been the time to remove that so called piece of humanity from her presence and to let it be clearly known he was no longer welcome anywhere near their daughter, or home, ever again. I realize hindsight is a wonderful thing but by gosh all the signs were present, even to her father's gut feelings. Never, ever let your concerns for upsetting family dynamics be the reason you do not intervene. I do so wish Danielle had been able to confide in her parents about the notes and other things but as a survivor of such abuse I fully understand why she could not and did not. I'm just so sorry for her parents that Danielle was taken away from them by this conniving, cowardly, heartless predator.
