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
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. 💔 😢
@@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
@@inspirecoffeecompany All food + produce here is expensive. It's tragic given the horrendous effect the dairy industry has had in polluting 60% of our waterways.
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.
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.
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." 😢
@@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.
@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.
@@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.
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!
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
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
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 ❤️
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...
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.
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 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.
I agree! This was incredibly well-handled. So much footage and evidence, swift reactions. Text-book investigation, and by acting so quickly they've potentially prevented further murders.
Totally agree, I always feel bad when foreigner's come to the USA and end up dead. Like you can imagine what the family is thinking about said country and it's people. Horrible muder this one.
Did they though? As some other people have commented. If she died of asphyxiation and didn’t have any serious cuts then who’s was all the blood all over his floor and on his bed?
@@whoanellynelnel3874 he didn’t cut her up. It said in the video and I looked into the case after I watched this, and it states the same thing. He broke bones and forced her into it, which they believe caused the small cuts and damage. And she hadn’t suffered massive blood loss. So who’s was it if it wasn’t hers? His room lit up like a Christmas parade! And it was just one case he used. The massive one he was seen buying, not multiple. He took more then one down with him so he didn’t look suspicious. He took three out of his room (one being the one containing her.) but only brought two back to his room which he didn’t need to use a trolley for, he carried them himself.
@@whoanellynelnel3874 you said “luggage bags” there wasn’t “luggage bags” just one! And yes I have, I’ve had two of them one in each arm. So don’t assume that I “don’t know”, “Never heard of “or have “never seen something” when I’ve actually had two “compound fractures” myself. She did not have any cuts on her including “compound fractures” that caused her to bleed that much! Nice try though. 🙄
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
@@RevivedPromotions ...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.
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.
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
On behalf of New Zealand, we are sorry that Graces life ended so horribly in a country she was visiting. Not all New Zealanders are monsters. Poor darling xx
Everyone sensible knows you are not all to blame. Sadly there is no place on earth completely devoid of maladaptives. I still hope to visit NZ someday. Bless.
@@m.lewizz3297 Considering a great many current day New Zealanders/Aotearoans are still Maori and Pacific Islander, and have just as much right to the name and citizenship, if not a million times more, I'm not prepared to come out my face calling them monsters, but you do you. (Outsiders assuming indigenous people have simply disappeared into some distant past is hugely problematic, btw.) I'm not about to assume the race of the original poster either.
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.
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
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 .
She was left there all night. I had the misfortune of seeing my best friends' mattress when he died of a brain aneurism. Doesn't mean damage wasn't done past suffocation.
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
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.
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. -
@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
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.
Dude, right? There's so many cases where kidnappings, murders, and robberies are caught on camera, but you can't even make out a person because the camera quality is that of an undercooked potato
When people say they "accidentally" strangled a person it makes no sense. Has anyone ever watched MMA/UFC/Brazilian Ju Jitzu? If someone gets "choked out" the fight stops and they come to within seconds! It is impossible to "accidentally" choke a person to death! Prayers for Grace's family and friends, this tragedy is truly heart breaking.
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.
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.
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.
@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ the notes are for his own use during the interrogation. It’s really pretty simple. Just like attorneys take notes during trial even though there is a stenographer taking all the testimony.
Fun fact: We actually had a 'Minister of the Rings' - a Government Minister responsible for capitalising on the tourist boom brought on by the franchise. Edit: for my fellow kiwis who don’t know much about our govt... please just google it if you’re going to take the time to type out that it’s not true. You’re doing Aunt Helen dirty with this ignorance... Y’all also seem to be forgetting we have a guy with the legal name The Wizard who was given the Queens medal of service
I'm not trying to be insensitive...but how naive can someone and the parents be? "I'm a pretty and young inexperienced girl, I'm going to go to unknown places solo and meet and go to bars with complete strangers I meet on a shady hookup app, nothing bad will happen!" This is literally a recipe for danger in every way. I'm not victim blaming, but if you are going to put yourself in incredibly dangerous situations what do you expect to happen? The world is a dangerous place, this isn't a recent discovery.
I find this with a lot of familied of victims. Their own lives dramatically shortened or they die of a terminal illness. Grief can destroy people even when a person dies peacefully without pain, I can't imagine living with the knowledge that someone I love died full of fear and pain.
@@Mike-LitorisSoBig I know.... cases like this make me genuinely afraid of when our kids grow up, and we have to let them run their own lives. One naive moment where they are too trusting or not paying close attention, and some evil opportunist could destroy them without any hesitation or a drop of remorse. How anyone could willingly extinguish the light of an innocent person, I will never understand. Sending up a prayer of safety and wellness for our kids and yours too! ❤️🌸
As horrible as this case is, I just want to imagine Grace's dad finding her in heaven so they can be together. My heart burst when I heard he passed away before they got full justice😭 May Jesse rot in hell.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. But even Christians don't believe it works that way. If Jesse asks for forgiveness and accepted Jesus before dying and Grace was a philanthropist who doesn't believe in God, she will be in hell and he in heaven. Just one example of why you shouldn't hope heaven and hell exist.
LOL like whats funniest about him asking that question that way, is that it is sooooo obvious to a detective or person, who was witnessed enough interrogations, that his demeanour SCREAMS guilt.
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 ❤️🙏🏻
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.
I remember when they were reviewing the CCTV footage of the date, there was a part where Grace went to the bathroom and, while she was gone, this scumbag was going through her handbag. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she wasn't his first victim. I definitely don't think she would have been his last.
note to self: don't murder people in New Zealand. Seriously though, if you want to murder someone, do it in the U.S. We have no CCTV. I'm surprised we don't have more murders actually.
@@jimmym3352 People are so against CCTV here in the U.S. for some stupid fucking reason. I am 100% on board with it. This is a perfect example of how CCTV can help society not hinder it.
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!!
NZ will never forget Grace, her disappearance touched our whole country & we held our breath hoping she’d be found safe - heartbroken when we learnt otherwise. We don’t speak his name, he doesn’t deserve to be acknowledged. We only remember Grace. RIP
Not only does he kill her, he makes out like it wasn't his fault and then has a go at the judge as if he doesn't have the right to punish him for his crimes. Man I wouldn't lose any sleep pushing the button for the electric chair on this guy.
You don't actually see THAT many people having a go at the judge like that after being charged. Hopefully that and all his lies on appear will factor in when he tries to get paroled at age 45. Because it can be deemed "lack of remorse."
He says these lies because he knows she’s dead and can’t speak for herself . He’s a pirate of shit and killed an innocent girl. Don’t understand what he gained from that. If he’s gonna kill and act tough he should act tough in court and police stations as well.
@@sonofamachinegun8568 No, I just didn't find it disturbing. I felt more disturbed at the fact that he went on another date while Grace lay dead in his apartment. Like where or what did he have planned for her had she agreed to go back to his place?
I’m so glad you didn’t include all the sexual nonsense the media did because it’s so disrespectful. Also the fact her father flew out there as soon as he found out about his daughter being missing shows he was determined to find/ protect her. For him to die not long after is horrendous. I hope the two of them are together now x
@@crieverytim @ice la honk speculation around whether she was into bondage, choking and rough stuff (which would give his story any credibility at all) I'm guessing. It may have been necessary for the trial, but it's horrible for a muder victim's most intimate private life be scruitinised and exposed on TV for sheer entertainment.
I don't live in NZ anymore, but damn every NZ'er really felt bad that this happened to Miss Millane. We always have that "oh stuff like that doesn't happen in our home" kind of attitude so it always hits everyone hard when something as horrid as her murder occurs.
As an American I am unbelievably touched that an entire nation could mourn the death of a victim in such a sincere way. We have a mass shooting here every day, and try as I might, I literally forget more than I've remembered. NZ doing it right 💜
That's exactly what I was thinking - looking at him walking around so carelessly thinking he got away with murder....all the while he just stole someone's life. 😔 And she told her friend she really liked him... I don't know 9f it's because I know what he did but I didn't hear anything special when I heard him talk - he seemed kinda bland to me. A bit off as well.
I mean missing persons cases and how deep a corpse has to be for a police dog not to find it aren’t exactly good icebreakers. But good on her for trusting her instinct.
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!
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! 🇨🇦
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.
Same way in the US. A life sentence itself doesn't guarantee life imprisonment. It means you'll be on supervision for the rest of your life if you make parole. In Texas you come up for parole in 12 years on a life sentence. There is life without parole as well that you can be sentenced to. But life by itself you can make parole on.
17, I thought they said 70. Don't worry, I'm a New Zealander, we've got this. We have very long memories. He is known and universally hated. If he lives through the 17 years of horror he is about to experience, it will be a miracle. Every regular peaceful New Zealander ive talked to about him hates him beyond words but can't do a thing about it. Someone in prison with him however? Let's just say that nobody will be too concerned about what happens to him.
You murder someone I think the exact same thing you did to your victim should be done to you. No jail. You just re live exactly what you inflicted for the same amounts of time. If you survive it, well, to the pain.
I live in Auckland, New Zealand, this case was devastating. I was so infuriated that she came here to experience our beautiful country and this happened, she should have been safe here. R.I.P Grace ❤ Also we love Lord of the rings, very proud that it was filmed here
This one made me feel sick tbh, and I've watched all of Mike's videos so far. Seeing that hopeful, adventurous young woman out there, excitedly texting her friend back home. Seeing, step by step, without a shadow of doubt that this disgusting creep murdered her and then acted all calm and innocent _and immediately went on another date_ And all in beautiful, safe NZ in 2018.

Manaakitanga is a Maori word that loosely translates to 'hospitality' - it is central to Maori society and inspires the way that travellers are made to feel welcome when visiting New Zealand. In Maori culture, manaakitanga is a traditional value that is considered to be hugely important.
What really touched me is the New Zealanders saying at the press conference how horrified and sorry they felt that a foreigner was murdered in their country. They felt almost responsible for letting a foreigner and her family down as their daughter was killed in their country. The reason it touched me is because I have felt EXACTLY the same when learning about foreigners being murdered in the US. It doesn't matter to me how gigantic the population and country are, I still feel almost responsibly and very sorry when someone comes here expecting safety like a normal person and they end up murdered by a native citizen. That woman LingLing who was a foreign college student murdered by that Ted Bundy wannabe made me feel so angry because of how sorry I felt for her family in China who sent their daughter here and lost her. It makes me wonder if people in very violent countries like Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Brazil, Iraq, Syria etc feel the same way when a foreigner is murdered there.

@@MnemonicCarrier yes ,he could get out in seventeen, depends on whether he survives that long,and if he does get to parole hearings there will be a LOT of submissions on why he should be kept away from society.
As a solo Brit who lived in Northland during this time, it was truly a shocking occurrence. Auckland and NZ as a whole felt so safe and this murder rocked this innocent country. Jacinda Ardern's speech was both moving and spoken from the heart. RIP Grace, let's hope that Jessie rots! And lastly, thanks Mike for highlighting Grace's case and for making Tuesdays in Lockdown bring a smile to my face when those two words are uttered... "hey you"
It is truly naive to think you can meet a guy on tinder and go back to his room. There are so many dangerous people out there. It was a crazy thing for her to do. Nevertheless, it was just a terrible thing that he was the one she swiped on, poor Grace, what a monster. Do not go back to hotel rooms or anywhere without checking out this guy. If she had done some digging bet she would have found something on him. It does not matter the country, it matters to not do this.
holy shit, the woman talking at the press conference was heartbreaking. the part where her voice breaks when she says "your daughter should have been safe here and she wasn't" i almost cried hearing it, i cant imagine how it must have felt saying it.
That woman is our Prime Minister. She speaks on behalf of the people of Aotearoa New Zealand on this case - as a nation we were devastated that a visitor to our shores had her life stolen in this way.

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

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.
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.

@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".

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.
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.
The way their police department and government handled her case was a class act!! Apologizing to the family was very touching 🥺🙏🏽
I agree! This was incredibly well-handled. So much footage and evidence, swift reactions. Text-book investigation, and by acting so quickly they've potentially prevented further murders.
The lady apologising at the press conference wasn't from the police department. She is the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Totally agree, I always feel bad when foreigner's come to the USA and end up dead. Like you can imagine what the family is thinking about said country and it's people. Horrible muder this one.
Absolutely!
It was a very heartfelt and classy apology/ press release

Did they though? As some other people have commented. If she died of asphyxiation and didn’t have any serious cuts then who’s was all the blood all over his floor and on his bed?

He had to fit Grace's body into the luggage bags
@@whoanellynelnel3874 he didn’t cut her up. It said in the video and I looked into the case after I watched this, and it states the same thing. He broke bones and forced her into it, which they believe caused the small cuts and damage. And she hadn’t suffered massive blood loss. So who’s was it if it wasn’t hers? His room lit up like a Christmas parade!
And it was just one case he used. The massive one he was seen buying, not multiple. He took more then one down with him so he didn’t look suspicious. He took three out of his room (one being the one containing her.) but only brought two back to his room which he didn’t need to use a trolley for, he carried them himself.

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.

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.

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.

If someone gets "choked out" the fight stops and they come to within seconds! It is impossible to "accidentally" choke a person to death! Prayers for Grace's family and friends, this tragedy is truly heart breaking.

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
@@diddleytwot4901 ChCh agrees
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.
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.

@ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀᴍᴜᴛᴇ _ the notes are for his own use during the interrogation. It’s really pretty simple. Just like attorneys take notes during trial even though there is a stenographer taking all the testimony.
Fun fact: We actually had a 'Minister of the Rings' - a Government Minister responsible for capitalising on the tourist boom brought on by the franchise.

I had to google that... and to my surprise, it's true :)

Watch out for that guy. He wants to take over the country and enslave your hobbits
I'm not trying to be insensitive...but how naive can someone and the parents be? "I'm a pretty and young inexperienced girl, I'm going to go to unknown places solo and meet and go to bars with complete strangers I meet on a shady hookup app, nothing bad will happen!" This is literally a recipe for danger in every way. I'm not victim blaming, but if you are going to put yourself in incredibly dangerous situations what do you expect to happen? The world is a dangerous place, this isn't a recent discovery.
I'm sure his poor daughters death affected his health greatly. Could have stressed him out so bad it literally killed him. So sad
I find this with a lot of familied of victims. Their own lives dramatically shortened or they die of a terminal illness. Grief can destroy people even when a person dies peacefully without pain, I can't imagine living with the knowledge that someone I love died full of fear and pain.
As a father of a 4 yo and a 3month old I can't and Won't imagine what her father went through.
I almost go berserk if another kid tries to bully mine.
@@Mike-LitorisSoBig I know.... cases like this make me genuinely afraid of when our kids grow up, and we have to let them run their own lives. One naive moment where they are too trusting or not paying close attention, and some evil opportunist could destroy them without any hesitation or a drop of remorse. How anyone could willingly extinguish the light of an innocent person, I will never understand. Sending up a prayer of safety and wellness for our kids and yours too! ❤️🌸

Mine, too.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. But even Christians don't believe it works that way. If Jesse asks for forgiveness and accepted Jesus before dying and Grace was a philanthropist who doesn't believe in God, she will be in hell and he in heaven.

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💕
I remember when they were reviewing the CCTV footage of the date, there was a part where Grace went to the bathroom and, while she was gone, this scumbag was going through her handbag.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if she wasn't his first victim. I definitely don't think she would have been his last.

Not only does he kill her, he makes out like it wasn't his fault and then has a go at the judge as if he doesn't have the right to punish him for his crimes. Man I wouldn't lose any sleep pushing the button for the electric chair on this guy.
You don't actually see THAT many people having a go at the judge like that after being charged. Hopefully that and all his lies on appear will factor in when he tries to get paroled at age 45. Because it can be deemed "lack of remorse."
I'd actually volunteer for it!
He says these lies because he knows she’s dead and can’t speak for herself . He’s a pirate of shit and killed an innocent girl. Don’t understand what he gained from that. If he’s gonna kill and act tough he should act tough in court and police stations as well.

I’m so glad you didn’t include all the sexual nonsense the media did because it’s so disrespectful.

I don't live in NZ anymore, but damn every NZ'er really felt bad that this happened to Miss Millane. We always have that "oh stuff like that doesn't happen in our home" kind of attitude so it always hits everyone hard when something as horrid as her murder occurs.

Why doesn’t “life in prison” mean LIFE IN PRISON?!?!?! A “minimum of 17 years” is total BS.
Same way in the US. A life sentence itself doesn't guarantee life imprisonment. It means you'll be on supervision for the rest of your life if you make parole. In Texas you come up for parole in 12 years on a life sentence.
There is life without parole as well that you can be sentenced to. But life by itself you can make parole on.
17, I thought they said 70. Don't worry, I'm a New Zealander, we've got this. We have very long memories. He is known and universally hated. If he lives through the 17 years of horror he is about to experience, it will be a miracle. Every regular peaceful New Zealander ive talked to about him hates him beyond words but can't do a thing about it. Someone in prison with him however? Let's just say that nobody will be too concerned about what happens to him.
You murder someone I think the exact same thing you did to your victim should be done to you. No jail. You just re live exactly what you inflicted for the same amounts of time. If you survive it, well, to the pain.
When 17 years are up the parole board will say "nuh" surely?
wow, he had full intent to do this. he knew exactly what he was doing before, during, and after. cameras say it all

Manaakitanga is a Maori word that loosely translates to 'hospitality' - it is central to Maori society and inspires the way that travellers are made to feel welcome when visiting New Zealand. In Maori culture, manaakitanga is a traditional value that is considered to be hugely important.
Thank you. I searched specifically for this comment.
Thank you for explaining this 🤍
What really touched me is the New Zealanders saying at the press conference how horrified and sorry they felt that a foreigner was murdered in their country. They felt almost responsible for letting a foreigner and her family down as their daughter was killed in their country. The reason it touched me is because I have felt EXACTLY the same when learning about foreigners being murdered in the US. It doesn't matter to me how gigantic the population and country are, I still feel almost responsibly and very sorry when someone comes here expecting safety like a normal person and they end up murdered by a native citizen.
That woman LingLing who was a foreign college student murdered by that Ted Bundy wannabe made me feel so angry because of how sorry I felt for her family in China who sent their daughter here and lost her. It makes me wonder if people in very violent countries like Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Brazil, Iraq, Syria etc feel the same way when a foreigner is murdered there.
@@HavanaSyndrome69

NZ has such a progressive leader. One of the best on the planet.
It is truly naive to think you can meet a guy on tinder and go back to his room. There are so many dangerous people out there. It was a crazy thing for her to do. Nevertheless, it was just a terrible thing that he was the one she swiped on, poor Grace, what a monster. Do not go back to hotel rooms or anywhere without checking out this guy. If she had done some digging bet she would have found something on him. It does not matter the country, it matters to not do this.
