The Case of Grace Millane
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2021
- Grace Millane was a British backpacker with big plans, namely to travel the southern hemisphere. When she arrived in New Zealand in 2018, she went on Tinder and arranged a date. The man she met was Jesse Kempson, and he would turn out to be the definition of monster.

This man was legit broadcasted in 4K the entire time. Why can’t cases in the US be this clear?
Like DAMN. Love to see it!
I’m going to check out your channel!! You’ve got some awesome stuff!!
Right!? That was the clearest CCTV footage I've ever seen!
Won't fit the media narrative.
@@OdintheGermanShepherd thank you brother!🙏🏼
@@twown that doesn't make any sense
Damn, literally every movement/transaction he made was recorded. It's almost like he asked a film crew along to catch him in the act.
With every new video, I was thinking, may as well put a sign on your head “I’m the killer” geesh! Suitcases, cleaners, rug cleaner, shovel.
George Orwell 1984 come to life!
My thought exactly! If only it could be like this with every case.
big brother always watching.. n the slaves ask for more..
@@danielmedina333 right, lol. A surveillance state isn't a good thing. How stupid are some people?
That cop questioning him looks so over it. Like when he says, “Tell me what happened Saturday” and doofus says, “From the beginning?”. Dude looks like he wants to smack him!
Not to mention that cop was HUGE.
“From the beginning?”
“Yea!”
If Grace was strangled…..WHY WAS THERE BLOOD EVERYWHERE?!!
That cop ABSOLUTELY knew what Catfishing was, hahaha. He just wanted the monster in front of him to have an opportunity to bury himself. It is unbelievably freaking disturbing how he calmly went on ANOTHER date, bought cleaning items, etc….so calmly and effortlessly. Not a care in the world. Grace was so very beautiful, so sweet and trusting. She deserved so, so much more. 💔 😢
I'm wondering about all of the blood, too. Was it tested? Was poor Grace his first?
@@deltacountycitizenreport2556 wow! That's a good question. That has to be someone's blood. It's crazy that she was strangled and absolutely no one questioned him about the blood, which seemed to be a lot. Maybe that's why he appeared to be so calm....wasn't his first time??
@@terrinorrell8290 the reason for all the blood is because strangling someone to death isn't easy, sadly tv and film makes it look quick and relatively non violent... as someone who was nearly choked to death, let me clear it up for you.
Firstly, you fight. Hard and instinctively. You'll kick out at anything and everything to try and get away, to get a grip on something to get some leverage, and this often ends with a bunch of bruises, cuts and scrapes. Also common are head wounds and broken bones like noses and throat bones; head injuries bleed a LOT, and it was a narrow space and she would have been thrashing about. So she probably had a few cuts on her scalp from coming off the bed, it looks like there was some blood on the shelving unit so she probably hit her head on that. She would have also been bleeding profusely from her nose, which bleeds a fuckton, especially when you're fighting for your life and the adrenaline is pumping. Plus, she was almost certainly also bleeding from her throat and mouth, which will have most likely caused her to vomit up the blood she swallowed, causing more blood spread.
Sorry if this is graphic.. but that's kind of the point. For some reason the media, tv and film, and even "true crime" shows, especially ones who do reenactments, have decided to portray being choked to death (or suffocated) as this strangely.. quiet and, dare I say it, quick and peaceful death, when it really REALLY fucking isn't.
Hope this answered your questions.
@@piratemousie I'm so sorry to hear that you were put in that situation. I just can't imagine the fear you surely felt. Thank God that you were somehow able to escape your situation. I pray that you are doing well and able to live a happy life 🙏 I do have to admit that you opened my eyes as to how the blood may have gotten in his room. I never would have thought of all of the scenarios that you brought up. My heart breaks for her!! She looked so at ease and happy entering his apartment. What a horrible way to die...
It's because sometime when strangling someone u can pop the coroted (I don't know if I'm spelling it right) but the vain in the persons neck which will cause them to bleed out through the mouth
this must have been the easiest prosecution ever. The amount of shit he got caught doing in 4k
I know its like New Zealand CCTV is Blue Ray and British CCTV is Betamax
Trueee 😂
@@luluhussain7592 I was in New Zealand in 2009. I remember milk being well expensive. Anybody know why that is?
@@heartlights Unfortunatly I bet they will
@@JGreen1 All food + produce here is expensive. It's tragic given the horrendous effect the dairy industry has had in polluting 60% of our waterways.
I cannot believe how many cameras Auckland has, and the quality...
true
other countries need to take note
@@holynun5693 that goes for other things New Zealand has accomplished as a country. Exemplary.
The quality!! I am so not used to actually being able to see a face detail on cctv
I can’t believe women date guys who do this kinda stuff...
Grow up women...just grow up...
The New Zealand lady addressing the media near the end was so sincere. Her voice cracking when she said "Your daughter should have been safe here, and she wasn't, and I am sorry for that." 😢
That " New Zealand lady " is their Prime Minister, Jacinda Adern .
Never mind her. She's good at pretending to be sincere.
Easily fooled then?
@@cosmicdebris42 Alas, yes.
@@nzcamel3 She scares me and i'm in Scotland My friend. Its Grimm here to man. There is no free speech. I cannot leave my house wothout being tailed by the Road Pirates Following me or just driving past. Its like a Police state.
The case when all cameras were working, and had a perfect quality! Amazing.
Holy shit this is the best CCTV camera quality I've ever seen. New Zealand really is on another level.
*Is really on another level
Edit : I love when people try to tag me to say sum and I never read any of them😂
Yes you're absolutely right, ...look how they handled the covid 19 pandemic compared to other developed countries.
I know NZ has many great perks but please read up on our housing crisis where prices increased by 100000$ in just a month, child suicide, teen pregnancy, 3rd highest homelessness in the OECD country, the literacy and numeracy of the average adult being at the age of a 13 year old, obesity, racism etc etc
@@Dantectez "really is on another level" in that context is still grammatically correct
@blu aww cmon its not that boring if you look around, might b a drive to certain things,but yea small town nz?, yeaAlil boring
That second woman was so damn lucky. Her intuition was spot on, it probably saved her life.
No kidding. Can't imagine how that date would have even gone. "Oh, don't mind the mess"
I hope they searched other missing person cases?
Agreed but it still needs improvement because she was using Tinder to begin with
Let's hear it for the bitches of the world, these videos have cured me of ever being forgiving and sweet on a first date. Red flags and uh byebye!!! I am single. AND ALIVE!!!!
I seriously wonder what he would have done if they 'hit it off'. Take her back to his place!? Go with her to her place and fucking kill her there? Or did he think he could just go on and live a normal life with a dead body back at his apartment?
@@evabakker I’m pretty sure Grace was his test run, he got exhilarated with the murder and went prowling for a second victim. He would definitely become a serial killer.
This will probably get lost since it's been 8 months since this video was aired. I knew Grace personally, we were on the same marketing courses at Lincoln University (we were part of a group project during second year). I remember my girlfriend at the time asking me in late 2018 'do you know of a Grace Millane? She's been reported missing'. My group of mates were spooked but thought she'll be found alive, just someone travelling who may have got too drunk and lost her phone ( it happens on nights out at uni). When her body was reported, it sent shockwaves amongst the uni and everyone who knew her. I went back through my google drive and saw a few presentations we'd done together for Service Marketing and it's strange knowing someone who we joked about skipping seminars sometimes (like anyone else does) to end up murdered. Utterly surreal. I t feels so weird to see someone who I studied with son closely - who I also graduate within my cohort be murdered. She was just enjoying herself and this is how her life ended... It just hurts me mate.
This is an undiscussed and hard to comprehend pain. Thank you for posting this, I hope it helped you.
This one has stuck with me since Mike first posted it. She looks like such a sweet gal, just disgusting what he did, especially the lies. He is creepy looking to me, I don't know why she was attracted to him at all. But at any rate, I will never forget her story.
This all unfolded right next door to my work, I used to go to that last bar Grace was at next to his apartment (Blue Stone). I was there nearly every day after work, it was eerie looking up and seeing through his apartment window that looked over the bar, it had plastic lining inside his room for some reason. Forensics, clean up, renovations, I dunno. I shudder to think what her last moments were like. Poor Grace and her poor family, so unnecessary. One of the waitresses at Blue Stone was one of Jesse's tinder hookups, the one who left her glasses at Jesse's place and teased him about him giving them back to her since he literally lived 5 steps away, she seemed rather shaken up for a while after the revelation of what happened to Grace. She was often absent a lot to attend court so it gave her identity away to the regulars there. Poor girl, she is lucky to be alive. Blue Stone has since closed down due to rona so that puts an end to that strange and tragic chapter.
What disturbs me was that she genuinely was having a good time and this monster was probably planning his actions the whole night
Absolutely. His apology amounted to just emotional manipulation. He found someone who couldn't decode it.
An hour after she died he's looking for burial sites and then porn. That's just next level fucked up.
@Christopher Meisner that's the worst part out of all of it (murder aside). It possibly could have been prevented, he might have been on probation and barred from using dating apps. I think Gable Tostee uses them now!
@@kylieh123 Were the other crimes reported before the murder investigation? I thought the other 9 charges were brought as they found out more from previous dates/victims. I don't think I can go back and rewatch. Not for awhile anyway. I feel so awful for Grace's father. Has cancer but still outlives his daughter.
I hadn't heard of that Tostee guy before. Was he acquitted by claiming self defense? Sounds like a prick. "The best cure for feminism is a good root" and referred to his murder acquittal saying: "the only thing I murder is p***y".
@@joshuadowdle9691 he actually had a record at that point so it's scary that he wasn't on some kind of watch list.
Gable Tostee was the guy who had a tinder date on the gold coast with a girl (from new Zealand coincidentally) and she died from a balcony fall. He was found not guilty of pushing her.
I can’t imagine being that 2nd Tinder date and realizing how close she had come...
Unlike Grace, that girl's female intuition about the creep was strong, and she listened to it - she could not get away from him fast enough. Grace was literally an innocent abroad. She came from a respectable, middle class home, I doubt she had ever been in any kind of risky situation before, so didn't recognise the potential danger Kempson posed.
She was young and naive, bless her. She lapped up a predator's flattery, and agreed to be alone with him behind a locked door. Which turned out to be a literally fatal mistake. So sad.
Or the other assault victims realising they are lucky to even be alive.
@@glamdolly30 intuition???? He was talking about dead Bodies for christsakes!
Right. No doubt he would've killed her too!
I bet she spreads the word about not feeling badly about trusting one's instincts. It's easy to minimize and think you're being paranoid.
As a New Zealander , I felt deeply ashamed when this happened. As our prime Minister said , she should have been safe here. I think her father passed away a year or so after the court case. The murderer got name suppression until after he had been jailed. I didn't think this was fair, someone from overseas put his name on Google and this caused a stir , it had to be taken down. I sometimes wished New Zealand had the death penalty, Jesse Kempton will do this again. I doubt he can be " rehabilitated" .
R I P Grace, much love to your family 🙏
I spent half a year travelling alone in New Zealand and it felt so safe and everybody was so friendly, I would even trust complete strangers. It makes you lower your guard I have to say. I can understand that she felt safe to hook up with a total stranger...
This bastard made sure she didn't make it to her birthday the next day. The fact that he left her dead on the floor and then went on another date... I can't even believe how evil he is. May Grace and her father rest in peace together.
why is her dad dead too? damn thats a hard blow for the family if thats the case.
@@georgecostanza831 Yes - and the reason her mother couldn't come to NZ when she was missing was because she had cancer. Then her father died of cancer. So sad for her two brothers.
@WiLD CHiLD i comment too early. story of my life really.
@@BellaLeoLicorice Kinda puts your own problems into perspective doesnt it.
This one made me angrier than most. That post he made apologizing and acting like he's turning a new leaf and he's sorry but he's learned from his mistakes. Did I understand correctly that he posted that the day he murdered grace?
I almost expected CCTV footage of him burying her in the woods.
I did too. Very disappointing.
Shout out to Aussies for the excellent CCTVs.
I thought he said they had it
LMAOOOO
@@monicdavis6150 you mean New Zealand? Pretty sure CCTV here in Australia is crap just like America 😂
Holy shit the video footage of everything except the killing is insane! The news conference was exactly what should be said. Well done.
Mike, you do an amazing job researching and collating these horror stories. As an Australian, I remember the Grace story well. Her actions were put on trial by our media also. so sad. I hadn't realised I hadn't seen her killers face or heard about his past convictions until now. Thank you for sharing this story in such detail.
They always use that “rough sex” defense. Disgusting filth taking pics of her dead body and getting off on that. I can’t imagine my loved one going missing and being murdered in a foreign country. What a helpless feeling having it happen so far away.
Stay safe out there ladies, and fellas, when meeting up with strangers. It’s a scary world.
sad about her Dad dying of cancer shortly afterward, can you imagine the grief he experienced?
Double the broken heart for her mother and family! What a piece of trash he turned out to be. My goodness, wish she never went up to his place with him. So sad she couldn’t of known. This broke my heart. Because she’s almost the same age as my first. Ughhh....a chance of parole after 17 yrs? Oh hell no 😡😡😡
People tend to let their guard down (if they have any) when on vacation and especially in foreign countries.
BIG MISTAKE.
If only people listened to their "gut" feeling more
Along with the rough sex defense they always say it was the girl who wanted to do it. Blaming the victim.
So sad. The woman who found him creepy, must be just be so relieved, she listened to her intuition. It literally saved her life.
Always. ALWAYS listen to your intuition. Don’t ever feel foolish. If your wrong, no biggie, but if you’re right you could have just saved yourself from who knows what. You have it for a reason. Never tamp it down. I was working alone one night, we’d just had the last party leave. I never lock the door behind people. We live in a small safe town. But, all I could hear in my brain over and over again was LOCK THE DOOR. LOCK THE DOOR. I followed the last 2 people in the group out and locked the door before doing clean up. I had my back to the door as I wiped down tables. All of a sudden I heard a tremendous crashing noise. One of the guys from the party had ran up to the door and tried to throw it open with all of his might. Luckily I listened to my intuition. He held up his hands and ran off. I have never worked another night with out protection or without locking the doors. Since he didn’t actually do anything to me, the police didn’t really care. 🤷♀️
yeah. agree! I tell my daughter all the time 'go with your gut'
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _
I’ve felt it, it exists, victim didn’t listen, or is not in tune with their intuition. When I haven’t listened, I’ve regretted it.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ My intuition tells me that you're an imbecile! (every animal including humans have intuition it's known as the fight or flight and/or survival instinct Grace was intoxicated when she went to that scumbags apartment so her gut feelings/intuition took a while to kick in but when it did it was obviously too late. Period ! )
So scary 😔
17 years and eligible for parole!?!? What a joke
This is the only part that the Kiwis should feel any shame for.
This is why my daughter being on Tinder gives me stress and anxiety.
Initially I didn’t understand her need to go on Tinder while having only two weeks left in NZ - but of course it was to meet up for sex. Not knowing that she’d connect with his evil person.
You’re absolutely right to be worried it is full of porn obsessed perverts. Your daughter should stay well away!
Its disgusting. Meeting strangers for sex! What are the youngsters doing! In my generation people who had one night stands were consider tarts or slappers! And now it's just 'living a full life". Its not.. its disgusting, dirty and dangerous!
Youd think had brought it on herself if she went hitch hiking. Isn't hooking up for casual sex even worse. She brought it on herself.
@@kenfryer2090 , no, she didn’t bring it on herself. She made an unwise choice and this *man* brought death on her. He deserves all of our contempt and outrage. She never asked for a violent death.
@@kenfryer2090 It’s not the victim’s fault, dude. Hooking up has been going on since the dawn of man. You can stop clutching your pearls and get your head out of your behind.
“Police dogs can’t find a body if it’s buried more than 4 feet.”-Things not to say on a 1st date
:)
No, it’s great thing to say because any sane woman would run after hearing it. I wish all psychos gave themselves away on dates like he did.
@@surefire8568 So true, if only they could all go a step further and just say "I'm an abuser/rapist/killer/whatever" so the women can run away and block them forever.
Red flag!!!
I wonder what he said to Grace on their first date : "did you know that most people don't get caught after murdering a date?"
"I was panicked"
He says, killing someone and then going out on another date
He is crazy!
@@eupiaeupia2647 please stop calling evil, “crazy”.
@@hillarybillary21 Those are not mutually exclusive
Crazy for sure🤬
*wearing the same clothes even!! 🧐
So gross, he's constantly checking himself out in every available mirror!
I Remember this case . It truly saddened me because he truly took advantage of an innocent girl . She had her whole life ahead of her yet she just wanted to meet someone cool & they kill her 😒😔 blows my mind .
Of all the places she was travelling I bet her parents were least worried about her safety in NZ. So sad for her and her family.
She honestly sounds kind of sheltered and lacking in basic street smarts.
@@CAHSR2020 I hate to say it but yea. She should’ve been smarter. But dude was a monsters
@@CAHSR2020 wow.... In my ears that sounds like victim blaming...i hope I'm wrong.
Yea why go on tinder in a place you have no friends or anyone near by ... sis should a brought a toy abd rub one out but monsters come in all shapes and sizes .... I hope shes at rest in peace because that was a horrible way to die 😔 this one got me crying
@@CAHSR2020 ummm maybe guys should stop going round attacking, raping and murdering women instead! Wow!
He was LITERALLY caught in 4k ultra HD and STILL had the audacity to be smug
Jesse to judge: "You have no reason to convict me." - Apparently Jesse has an OJ Simpson-like understand of the law..
Damn Auckland Those security cameras are pretty mind boggling. Talk about being able to watch someone's every move.
I received a Grace Millane fundraiser bag last year after being a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault. I will never forget how her story touched me ❤️
I hope you are in a better place now.
Best wishes, hope all is well now and your abuser got what they deserved. Be safe!
Wish you all the best. Sorry, this happened to you. :(
May your future be brighter & without violence...❤️❤️❤️
My left arm & shoulder were damaged by my ex, with an aluminum baseball bat years ago,, so I know how violence leaves lifelong effects on the victim...
So sooo thankful you are on the path to healing and pray you are living life on your terms ❤️
It was such a terrible, unnecessary killing and all because the lust of a narcicist psycho. It is very sad. She had her whole life ahead of her. Very sad to hear that her dad died of cancer shortly thereafter. May they both RIP and my prayers are with the surviving family.
You are so right, it is absolutely devastating.
yes, he was a sadistic narcissistic manipulative predator
Terrible, senseless, and also stupid. Like I know that is very much not the focus here, the focus is the life thats been lost but he did a bad job of this whole murder thing and was caught the whole way in HD, so on top of being a narcissistic, predatory, delusional liar, he's a dumbass as well.
Yeah like he literally had no other reason besides wanting that narcissistic psychopathic ego boost.
Exactly, i hope that the other Tinder date girl gets put in jail too, definitely guilty
I love that cctv is everywhere in NZ, even though it doesn’t completely stop crime, it definitely helps solve crime. A lot of murders and rapist would be off the streets if cameras were EVERYWHERE.
Props to New Zealand! That CC footage is awesome - it’s like movie quality! Meanwhile, the CC footage here looks like one of Edison’s first films.
Her father dying of cancer on top of that is just.. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain that the family must have gone through
I thought it was HIS FATHER that died?
@@melissawilliams7238 No, Grace's Father.
Yeah me too. So so so sad :((
he lies that HIS father was dying of cancer to get sympathy
This hit me too, I can’t imagine Grace’s mother and brothers suffering so much tragic loss in such a short time. The only solace I can think of is that hopefully Grace and her father were reunited in peace in the afterlife.
The part where Mike told us her poor dad had passed away before that prick got sentenced absolutely finished me 😥😥
Rest in peace both lovely people
If there is an afterlife, I hope they have been Reunited.
The only silver lining that could possibly come out of that tragedy, was he and his daughter are now together xx
That broke my heart, too... I'm sure that his heart was beyond broken by losing his baby girl. I hope that her spirit greeted his when he slipped away. May they both rest in eternal peace!
😢
🖤
Wow, huge props to NZ for such clear security footage!
Mike, you are fantastic at telling these stories, and no matter how awful they get, no matter how far down the stories you tell pull us under.. at the end of them, you bring us right back up with a light-hearted or hilarious comment. You do this the best. Thank you.
The amount of cctv is amazing. It’s like he’s in his own movie
@Ricardo DeMatteo CCTV footage got this murdering bastard and many others like him, arrested and charged quickly - nothing 'horrifying' about it.
@Ricardo DeMatteo I agree. Absolutely horrifying
@Ricardo DeMatteo since they are in public areas, where there is no expectation of privacy, it is nothing like “1984”. Read the novel again, if you have at all.
Yeah, and Mike Oh directed it
@@___LC___ precursor to 1984
I finally convinced my daughter to stay off dating apps. I have seen too many horror stories.
You are by far the best true crime channel on UA-cam!!!
You somehow manage to be respectful, detailed hilarious, thorough, and efficient ALL AT ONCE. Its impressive!!! Keep it up!!
i’ve actually met Grace’s mother, absolutely devastating. i remember participating in early stages of the charity work that her mother started after she went missing, filling donated handbags with toiletries and stuff for women in shelters. absolutely horrendous story, my sympathies stay with them always.
Jet That's awesome of what you, and Grace's mom have done for women in the shelters. God bless the two of you, and all the other volunteers.
I cannot imagine what Grace's mom has been going through, but I do know that my mom and sister had gone through when I had gone missing for a bit over 3 months. They called the morgues, jails and hospitals all over Chicago. They found 2 Hispanics who knew where I was, which was in a boarded up windowless basement with rats, mice, cockroaches and spiders. My ex locked me in that place. When they rescued me, I was literally banging on death's door. I thank God that they had rescued me before I died in that basement.
I speak about what I had gone through, so that other women could learn from my own experience, and get out of a very toxic relationship.
Should have told her to have told her daughter not to have sex with complete strangers. She'd still be alive.
This channel seems to have many subscribers that know someone who been murdered. Maybe not directly but Kevin Bacon 6 degrees know them
@@robbobbrah8953 people like you get off on being unnecessarily mean don’t you
So sad. I know it seems so exciting to go explore a foreign country alone; the freedom, the possibilities, the thought of conquering the natural “fear” of the unknown that is within almost all of us, etc is surely exhilarating, but it’s so, so, so dangerous. What a terrible story; I feel horrible for her family.
I live in Auckland and the amount of people I know that were deeply affected by this is astounding. Because it's such a small country, almost everyone knows someone who knows a girl that has met the guy on Tinder, and it brings such a realism to the case, it could have been anyone. It's terrible, and my thoughts are forever with Grace's family
Would love to see your beautiful nation when this COVID madness has passed. NZ is probably one of the safest countries on the globe, and you have been leaders in human rights and handling the plague. Keep at it! Love from Canada.
It’s incredible how everyone seems to be at least two degrees of separation away from Kempson. It’s a wider city of close to 2 million and yet everyone is so connected and so close, and feels others’ pain. Definitely like a NZ thing
He was just waiting for a tourist. Sad that no one ever acted on his previous accusers need for justice. This needn’t have happened to get him off the streets.
I live in Dunedin and you're wrong about "everyone knowing the guy" tbh we all get sick of hearing about Dorkland and all your problems

Ha.
Right.
lol indeed
@@Benderrr111 poor girl. How did she fall fate unto this asshole. I hope she is at peace. Hes a total turd.
I have to say, this made me laugh out loud!
Finally a surveillance camera doing its job-clearly
Lol in every single other case the CCTV footage quality is like half a frame per second with a resolution of 4 blurry, poorly lit pixels, like you might as well guess what it is you're seeing
Imagine this took place at a bank sheesh
Cameras can do their job if there are cameras!
There are private businesses installing cameras on their private property it has nothing to do with 'government surveillance. "
Europe you cant get away w shit like that in the big cities they have CCTV on every fucking corner its top tier
Thanks to videos like this, I have become obsessed with being in touch with family members who are out of town.
It made me so happy that someone finally did a case from my home country!
Wow. He was even gaslighting the judge! That’s some next level narcissistic, bottom feeding BS. Creep doesn’t even begin to cover it. Poor Grace. May she Rest In Peace 😞
It's kind of vindicating, seeing him having a hissy fit and showing everyone what a whack job he is. They always act like big babies when they don't get their way.
To be a bit pedantic, he wasn't gaslighting the judge. He was insulting the judge, and denying his involvement/the evidence etc., but this isn't necessarily gaslighting. Gaslighting is a very specific type of psychological abuse, a sustained campaign in which the abuser gradually causes the victim to doubt their perception of reality. The term comes from a 1938 British stage play called "Gas Light", if you're interested in learning more about it! For example, it was a tactic that was used by the Stasi, the East German secret police force, to abuse and control political dissidents. Gaslighting was just one method used in their psychological warfare technique called Zersetzung!
This guy was obviously unable to admit guilt and take responsibility for his horrific actions, but disagreeing with someone (even in the face of evidence) doesn't mean it's gaslighting.
Sorry for the pedantry, but "gaslighting" is a specific term that's become overused and misapplied on the internet in the last few years! I think it's important that labels around certain things, such as abuse, remain consistent, as diluting/delegitimising the term might make gaslighting victims feel less validated in their concern, and potentially less likely to try and escape their abusive situation.
unbelievable arrogance. Talking to the judge that way, just incredible.
I live in New Zealand and work at the place where they met for the first time, have stayed at the hotel where he killed her and have visited multiple times the area where he burried her. This case REALLY hit home for me, such a terrible story. Thank you for getting her story out there ❤️🙏🏻
Please be safe. I'm sorry it hit so close to home💕
Same here, I worked at skycity for 6 years, ate at the same restaurant, drank at the bluestone room, walked past that hotel a thousand times, gone up into the waitaks for a walk. I was going to go out that night but decided not to and my friends were at skycity at the same time. Its disturbing knowing that they were walking right past a murderer and had no idea. I cried a lot when this story broke.
@@Kurious_Kiwi I'm sorry it affected you so much. You have a caring heart. Be safe💕

Thanks for clarifying that. Couldn't make it out as many times as I replayed.
@@neyder9309 ...😏👊
That was awesome when you said at the end, "Throw away the key!" Keep up the great videos!
For a dude who spent his life lying he sucks at it.
I had the same thought, he was tragic
Indeed!☺️
Spend your life lying and getting caught in one will unravel the rest.
He was fking hopeless at it!
falling asleep during the shower and found her dead?
My god. The fact that you can literally watch this unfold on camera practically moment by moment is really cool, and really scary all at the same time.
Scary the lengths some males will go to for their pitiful, 5 second orgasm. Let's face it, that's why Grace lost her life at just 22.
Jessie Kempson and all cowardly sex killers should die in jail - they cannot be rehabilitated and will always present a sexual threat to the physically weaker.
Right it's grossing me out more and more because it keeps happening. Like they walk around just wanting to squirt SO BAD that they get violent when they can't get someone to touch them. Or have a dominance complex. Either way lock them all away forever.
@@glamdolly30 he only got 17 years to plan the next one, maybe with his buddies when they get out. Eek.
And the idiot perpetrator had absolutely no idea. No surprises there.
@@myunknownland9272 Utterly pathetic court system. In reality no empathy for the victim, only shitloads of support for the perpetrator, happens every single time. Hahaha, a ‘native...............Wellingtonian’, your subtlety is admirable.
“Subs” “scoops” I love the lingo and new words I’m learning for “cocktails”. …among other phrases “slapped a ham” which I’m still trying to fig out. But for these and many more reasons--> i Love this Chan!!!!
I cannot stop crying for her family. First her death, then the father passed away. Just horrific.
This dude literally had zero chance of getting away with this. Cameras everywhere
Right? Pretty stupid when you were the last person to see her alive.
Why doesn't this punk know that. He is huge, the girl never stood a chance.
I feel like the world needs cameras EVERYWHERE out in the public so people won't get away with this shit. Catch all these bad guys
did anyone else start cracking up at mikes australian accent
@@PoorRick It's not. It's private companies providing their own security not the government arranging and paying for it. The US has the same camera footage of some crimes but for some legal reasonsing it's not allowed to be shown in court which si kind of fucked up. He lived in a hotel he met her at a hotel. It's the hotel's private security.
Seeing him in the elevator with the suitcases is surreal. Even before Mike says what happened you just know what’s in there 😔
I thought the same! If you're watching one of Mikes videos and there is a suitcase, you just know they aren't planning a lovely vacations! 😉 I also said to my daughter whom works in a well known hardware store, that imagine serving a customer who was buying a spade, and turns out they used it to Bury someone. It's crazy to think isn't it
I can’t even imagine the pain of her family watching this CCTV video knowing that their loved one is in that suitcase, so heartbreaking
It turns my stomach knowing she’s folded up in there.
@@yasamanalizadeh866 More like in both of the suitcases since both are loaded.It's horrible
Right?! So so sad! What an evil man
Can we talk about how genuine and moving Jacinda Ardern's statement was? If every country had a leader like her the world would be an amazing place!
I'm not a Kiwi but many people mentioned in the comments that many murders of native people go unnoticed. The victim was a white woman with a family who was fighting for her.
Jacinda Ardern is an amazing person. I wish we had more leaders like that.
Same!! She was compelling!!!
Ardern
Silver tongue
The cameras over there are unreal man . RIP grace , she deserved better than that . People should be more careful when meeting strangers.
6:51 - " _Mexican Café,_ a Mexican café. " - See, this is the kind of in-depth research that keeps me coming back.
English isn't my first language. So I understood that the name of the cafe is Mexican cafe. And it's a real Mexican cafe, not just called a Mexican cafe
Haha 😂 that was quite funny.
"Your daughter should've been safe here" that really broke my heart when she said that.
Same!
She is Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of NZ
She choked up a little when she said it. That's a leader who truly cares about their country.
I've decided Jacinda Ahern is one of the best humans to grace this planet. She is an amazing person that proves empathy in leadership is a strength not a weakness. She also had a baby, ended gun violence and defeated a pandemic during her tenure as PM.
Women should be safe from rape and murder in every city of the world.
I just found your channel not long ago so I'm trying to catch up but you're the only true crime I can listen too bc of the slight spin and humor you try to sprinkle in it makes these disgusting cases much easier to learn about thanks
The amount of camera footage they have & the quality of it is impressive... I wish that we had this kind of servalance EVERYWHERE.
Every week, it's a beautiful cycle of forgetting what day it is, refreshing UA-cam and randomly finding a That Chapter video on my homepage :')
Haha glad I can remind you it's either a Tuesday or Friday!
@@ThatChapter it's the Tuesdays for me ☺
Relatable 😊
I have my bell turned on and then it’s a nice lil surprise
@@br5632 same
I met Jesse at a wedding the year before this happened. He told us all he was a police officer from Australia. It was obvious he was lying and he made everyone uncomfortable
That doesn't surprise me - Kempson's innocent, 'I'm just a regular guy' act with cops was totally unconvincing too. He comes over as pretentious and not very bright, a fake and a fantasist. The next girl he met thru Tinder after Grace saw through him immediately and couldn't escape him fast enough - how sad Grace was taken in.
I was pretty naive at her age too, but there's no way I'd have gone back to a guy's room with him the same night we met. As soon as you're alone with a man behind a locked door, you're at his mercy. And you might suddenly see a very different side to him.
Grace was raised by decent people, in a well to do, middle class area of England. She had never known a toxic male like Kempson - he was alien to her experience, so she didn't recognise the danger he presented. It's an outrage he was able to take her precious life from her, just for his pathetic, 5 second orgasm.
@@glamdolly30 I guarantee you any "middle class area" of England is teeming with "toxic males"
@@kingnotail3838 right! They are everywhere. No where is exempt
Wow. Good thing you spotted the lies and didnt go on a date and stuff with him. I am so mad because of these crazy monsters. Death penalty in these cases would be the right thing to do i guess but life in prison needs to be the minimum sentence for these types of people. What a stupid and deranged race we the men are sometimes... 🤬
@@glamdolly30 very true, the things men do for those 5 seconds you speak of is unimaginable for a normal man. I hope that no woman will have to experience this ever again but sadly the world is an insane place with insane people being a part of it. 😞
Heart goes out to her family and friends...what a monster of a person!
This is one of those ones that's particularly scary.. just a seemingly normal, young guy going out on dates.
Yep. You can never trust appearances. You never know who out there is a psychopath intending to harm others.
He is literally on camera doing everything. It’s amazing.
how does he have no idea theres cameras everywhere in his town...hes 26, not 6
You could splice it all together and almost make an entire found footage style movie. I think those kinds of cameras should be in all public places, imagine how many crimes would be solved quickly with that technology.
until you realize everyone else is also being recorded every second of the day. It's creepy and shows how you have basically zero privacy in life anymore. People only think it's "amazing" because it caught a killer in this instance. But when you take a step back and look at it from the perspective of average citizens, it's not so amazing anymore. It's disturbing.
I feel like detectives just snicker to themselves the whole time when these idiots lie their butts off all the while the detectives have seen literally every move they’ve already made.
“Oh yea, we hugged and said our goodbyes and planned to meet the next day” ummmm yea try again bruh
And dumb..thankfully lol
Tbh New Zealand did so good with the case. That country is on an another level
Not only because of CCTVs, but the prime minister is an actual human being with human emotions
You could see Jacinda was just truly saddened and appalled by what had happened and her message was sincere
@@blahblahblahblah2837 Australia has serious prime minister envy. If you ever want to let jacinda go could we borrow her?
@@crankyoldperson6871 Im Aussie too haha
Incredible country and Incredible leader. Now they just need to get ontop of currently being the world leader of DV cases.
Incoming Christchurch*
@ 8:01 the way you say "Jessie"...."Jessie" cracked me up. You have the ability to make me smile while you tell horrible stories.
I saw that case on coffeehouse crime. Both great true crime channels, totally different vibe but I enjoy and respect both 🥰
Same. Both are great along with the fear files and truly criminal.
@@anitaknight3915 wow, we watch the exact same true crime channels! Maybe it's not that all surprising, it's youtube working it's alogarithms after all 😅
I also like watching old TV American shows like forensic files & FBI files.
Even when I know a particular crime story inside/out- I still get excited to watch and listen to Mike’s telling of it.
Me too hahaha
I love his fair yet "forward"-ish style
I’m a patron and I watch the early uploads and then watch it again here in UA-cam. I really love watching his videos. He makes the macabre content interesting.
Exactly
Same. And he often mentions details I didn't know before
“Am I being arrested for something I didn’t do?” It’s the audacity for me
'you have no reason to convict me' what a heartless freak
It's the the murder for me.
Well, that is an interesting way of phrasing that question...
But no... you're not being arrested for something you didn't do... that having been said... you're under arrest
Why do I get so angry at people saying "it's the __ for me"?
@@danielvickers1095 ...well other than the callous murder, cover up and disposal of the body, putting her family through the agony of not knowing what happened to her. You know a sack of manure has a purpose and can be useful. Not this guy.
I have recommended this to others because it's AWESOME!!!!
God bless you, Mike.
I hope you are well
I’m obsessed with Mikes content.. Now a true crime watcher. Just for “That Chapter”.. Mike , I really hope your making $$ for all these. You do a top notch job for sure. Thank you..
it's so scary because he literally could be any dude at a hotel walkin around with a suitcase.
That’s not the scary part, the scary part is that he could be any dude you meet on tinder or at a bar and go home with!
don't date any dude at a hotel walkin' around with a suitcase
Thats why when I see ppl with suircases in hotels, I like to randomly open them.
Afterwards, its usually embarassing, but ya never know!
Or any guy or girl on Tinder
Just don't do Tinder, Quenna
A shout out to 'That Chapter" which was mentioned at our local CBC radio station this morning. Host was asking what was your favorite subscriptions on UA-cam and lo and behold Mike's name came up...YAAAAHH!
Hi from Edmonton!
Yes I heard a CBC radio show - maybe Podcast Playlist? - a few weeks ago when one of the hosts listed "That Chapter" and Mike as a fave!! I cannot believe I forgot! Glad you mentioned it, Gail D! 🇨🇦
Go Mike !!
That’s awesome!! Good for him!
Hi from the Kawartha Lakes!
My gosh, the entire story can be told in CCTV footage. _Good_ footage, too. Very clear.
You can tell that lady speaking on behalf of New Zealand really cares about Grace and her family.
“Hey you and welcome!”- my favorite intro!
feels like home, aye? lol
Always.
And I love that music 😁
@@ilona_ta me tooo!!💪💪
Makes my day every time!!
Seeing this man, wheel a suit case out of the hotel, on a luggage cart, to realize that poor women was in that case, is unnerving
it would just go unnoticed in a hotel
there was a case in Florida very similar, that took a very long time to solve, the woman was left on a vacant road, but she lived. A man did the same thing, he attacked a woman in hotel, and rolled her out in a suitcase and dumped her, he thought she was dead. But she was drugged so she didn't remember much. It took a determined detective to piece it all together and catch the perpetrator.
@@sanansa4567 I never heard of the case! Amazing that she lived!
A young girl travelling abroad by herself. What could possibly go wrong?
Victim blaming I see.
@@christar9527 not so much. Professionals recommend that people travel in small groups for safety. Bad choices result in bad consequences. But you may call it whatever you like. 😏
From New Zealand, Mike, WELL DONE!
Being a small county we were all totally gutted about this case. So sad.
I’m sorry. Things like this can be so traumatic to us. Some effecting more than others.
Very dangerous and violent country new zealand
@@ericg4915 not really lol
@@ericg4915 I'm sorry what? This one case was an incident that ripped our hearts out as an entire country. One of the safest countries in the world.
@@britCARLS he's being sarcastic/trollin
This case broke our hearts here in NZ. We all mourned for Grace and felt so hurt and angry that something like this happened here.
It happens everywhere and it's foolish to think it doesn't
Regardless, you as a country aren't responsible for the acts of one man. There was no need to apologize. I get irritated that people even expect apologies. I hate that I'm expected to apologize for the actions of other white men. I won't do it. Not all of us are alike, and I'm not responsible for the acts of evil men. And neither are you. -
Come to america..happens everyday
@Divine Sinner USA america...we would never have the president do a press conference and apologize for a girl's murder..that's because here..it is soo common..its not even extraordinary..girls get killed by guys all the time
@@2332Stephen I understand I’ve experienced both. I was born and raised in South Africa and moved to New Zealand at 13. Things like this happen here but at a vastly lower rate than almost anywhere else in the world. We do have our downsides in NZ our domestic violence and suicide rates are high but in comparison to where I was raised it’s actually incomparable
I live the correlation between New Zealand & LoR, Mike! Never repetitive! Like when you say you love us! Never gets old. I'd rather be in your cyber company than any reasonable facsimile!
I love you, Mike! You have such a clever sense of humor!!
Imagine finding out your Tinder date had just murdered his last hookup, that would be traumatizing for life.
I hooked up with a man who murdered his stepfather a couple months later, so.. I can empathize with the horror.
Not as traumatizing for his last date!

That “JESSE!” Thing killed me. MIKE, you’re so great.
Good going New Zealand!! Cameras everywhere. He is so caught!!
“Police dogs can’t find a body if it’s buried more than 4 feet"
He may as well just asked "Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"
Now if he was a real playa at the resturant he would of asked the bartender for a beer for himself and a roofycollata for his date!
Best pickup line ever
Right he had this “knowledge” but looked like he literally buried the suitcases! Fucking! Maybe a foot!😂😭 lol goofy bastard!
@@einarsmith7688 🤣🤣🤣
Police dogs definitely can find a body beyond 4ft that's a dumb statement
The fact that she disappeared on her birthday makes this even more sickening.... Heartbreaking.
If only it was a day after her birthday the muder would have been less sickening...wait, what?
@@CAHSR2020 No but it adds poignancy that every year when her loved ones mark her birthday, they will also be marking the day she died.
It's probably what brought her guard down and go on tinder in the first place. Not wanting to be alone on her BDay and all.
@@fauvecorrigan1233 That's actually a great point I had not considered.
Everyone sending her birthday messages and calling but with no response. That does add another layer of tragedy.
It's amazing how one girl can be creeped out by him and another could click with him
One was after a murder. Maybe he didn't give off murderer vibes until after he killed the first girl.
He's got a really strange face; strange enough that one would think any woman would say "pass" when seeing his profile. The fact that it's larded with BS just adds to the sheer "no way" issues with this guy.
