As someone who had a schizophrenic mother, and who has studied this horrific disease, I feel extreme empathy for this man, his family, and the family to whom he has caused so much fear. While I do empathize with him, I also believe, as a life long mental health advocate, that he should never be released. He WILL stop his meds at some point, and anyone he perceives to be a threat will be in very grave danger. It is wrong that they are not entitled to know when he is released. I wonder when common sense will re-enter society?
@@ratnamani8228 and how do you know that I do not? In fact I do not, but no my research was not done on Google or Wikipedia. It was done by thoroughly reading peer reviewed academic research publications (to which I have access via my employment), speaking to medical professionals in the field over the course of my mother's lifetime, and attending lectures by prominent professionals in the field. Further, having a mother who had schizophrenia, and as her primary caregiver for my entire adult life, I'm fairly confident enough in MY knowledge base and LIVED experiences to make the statement. Having worked in academia in higher education for more than thirty years, I DO understand what imperical research means. Do you?
Be careful. I gave some honest feedback on social media about the clowns in Delphi and their pedo-secrecy games... Well. They don't like even benign questions that one would ask during a press conference. Full court press, I had an army of cop-trolls from IN... cowards.
It’s also unfortunately people having children then shirking their responsibility’s I mean who puts a kid in a shed..Divorce can really mess kids up but it’s all to flippant these days..
I’m curious why his well to do mom, who claims to love him so much, allowed or sent him to go live with his father in that disgusting shed for his bedroom. Something they aren’t telling us here.
She’s not crying ….even dad he’s push himself hard to cry finally he did some …and shows to camera he’s eyes….. I don’t believe they love him…. I don’t even think they like him
The victim fought for his life the first time, the victim CAUGHT the monster the second time and now the victim has to live with fear forever, because the monster can come free anytime to finish the job. What do the police and the legal system do? Sit and watch! Pathetic! Get up and demand a change , people!!! Get in the streets and fight for better laws!
The rare happy ending ❤❤❤ and what a great friend of deon to have his buddy’s back ❤ Wait a minute, no jail time!? Omg 🤦♀️ I agree whole heartedly with Dani, I wish the legal system would recognize evil as opposed to manually sick. He knows exactly what he’s done abd clearly said he wanted someone else’s address while on the phone with Emma. What else do they need? He’s got clear intent and openly admits it.
Smh…dude has a chance to “fake it til you make it” to the doctors and be allowed back on the streets to finish what he had tried not once, but twice already…meanwhile David isn’t even guaranteed to get a courtesy call letting him know that his attacker is back out on the streets.
Yikes. This whole situation is atrocious. While I understand that he does need help, he also very much deserves to be in jail while the victims deserve to be treated with respect.
@@rashone2879 yeah he needs psychiatric help. Whether you like how it sounds or not, he needs medicating to reduce the threat he poses. Thats not a bad thing, and it does not negate his crimes. The comment that triggered you said very clearly he should be in jail. Depression or anxiety is a breeze in comparison to paranoid schizophrenia.
Sorry but if you know anything about paranoid schizophrenia, the Australian government is to blame, Here in the US, President Reagan was almost assassinated by someone like that. He was put in a mental institution and medicated where he remains A childhood friend of mine lives "down under" now and is a psychiatrist and told me, "Jenny, The care for the mentally ill here is atrocious and the real criminals get almost no time in jail",
One of the coolest things about UA-cam is getting to watch stuff like an Australian true crime shows. What a crazy story. I feel lucky to live in a country where regular people can own firearms and if a crazy ex friend shows up with a knife you don’t have to rely on the crazy person’s compliance or the police to respond fast enough. You can defend yourself if need be.
Yes, well the crazy people in your country can pose as regular people and get firearms too. This family survived because the crazy man had no access to a gun.
MUCH respect to David and Dion. They aren’t big guys but they messed him UP! His friend Emma though, needs to get a grip. Weed does not turn you into a psychopathic, schizophrenic murderer.
Actually yes it can. Especially if someone is predisposed to have a mental illness. People can have a psychotic break and never really come out of it. A really good friend of mine went off the rails when he was 16 and 35 years later he is only just now showing signs of improvement. But he will never live on his own and after his mother dies there may not be anyone in his life to take care of him and make sure he takes his medication or monitors his sugars and insulin levels. He has suffered a arrested development due to psychosis resulting from weed and further effected by whatever drugs he could find to chase his delusions and hallucinations away. He is a huge guy and did some damage until he drove straight into a cement truck trying to kill himself. Ironically it saved his life but if not for his mother he would be dead for sure. I understand why people don’t believe it, weed can do miraculous things but for a small percentage of us, weed can reek havoc on our brain.
Sorry, wrong. I love weed, LOVE it, but smoking it before the age of about 20 can massively exacerbate any potential to develop schizophrenia. Tis a fact. Not all schizophrenics are murderers though, so there's that. Mostly, their victim is themselves, poor buggers.
Actually, yes. The whole time she was talking about that, I was thinking of my sister. She's changed, and it's because of marijuana. She also does it daily, multiple times a day. One of my mom's friends saw her and as soon as my sister walked away, the friend turned to my mom and said, "She's on drugs." And yes, I do believe she is capable of killing. She's all drama, drama, drama now and playing the victim. She went around harassing me, telling me I should be raped, sending me threatening emails, etc.
@@aewtx Sounds like she has a mental health issue going on. Will be very little to do with the weed. How old is she? I smoke all day, every day and I've never felt the urge to kill. Weed just doesn't affect you that way. Drunks are far more dangerous.
Sad indictment and statement of this world. Seems everywhere the 'system' cares more about the criminals, than victims. Pathetic! And kudos to the family, you will prevail. Someone will take care of it.
@@myfanwymorris4083 They’re really good, childhood friends. She explains during her interview part in the show. 24:23. I’m pretty sure that is why she wrote to him.

What is wrong with the court system?!! I mean really, he murdered his brother and attempted to murder his friend, twice! The court at the very least should inform people when he is to be released from the mental hospital.

They should have the law change because of the nature of the crimes that Johnathan did. The family will not be notified when he gets out of the psych hospital. But what about the charges for killing his brother and that kill list. He might escape from the hospital,. My condolences to the family members of this case 🙏🏿❤️. Be careful and safe out here.
WOW WOW and WOW..I feel sooo bad for this family..they have to suffer each and every day because of a messed up legal system😢There are so many government systems that need to be UPDATED for DAM SURE!!!!!!!
The mother is so in denial, that even when she was crying, something was very much amiss. she 'd raised such a monster, and had always spoiled him, justifying his action.
Now I know what was missing in my live! Being banned out of parents house and having to survive in a disgusting shed. That’s exactly how parents spoil their kids
Defense attorneys are not there to lie. They are not protecting the defendants they are protecting the rights given by the constitution. My daughter is a juvenile defense attorney. She is there to to assure they are prosecuted fairly. She does not lie for them. The constitution is the same for the prosecutor as it is for the defense. She recently had a 14 year old client who killed his father. The prosecution wanted to try him as an adult and sought the most extreme sentence. My daughter uncovered that this child was being sold on a daily basis for sex by his father. The boy had countless broken bones in the process of healing and burn scars. His body at 14, had been ravaged. My daughters job was to protect his rights and explain the possible reasons this crime was committed. The prosecution was focused on the rights of the victim, a pedophile and child sex trafficker who had tortured this defendant since he was able to walk.
He should never be allowed to go free ever again, in my opinion, after being the second most wanted person in his country he is now a patient who can be released without notifying the person he tried to kill. That's madness as far as I am concerned.
So, so sorry for what all of these victims went through with this man. What ia particularly at note is how this murderer strategized to avoid the police, stalked victims and was cunning while having Schizophrenia. Very rare to be able to be on the run for 2 years. In spite of the mental health aspect, he should be locked up long term. To be let go in 10 yrs or so is totally unfair to this family and also LUDICROUS in general considering the danger to the public. But hey, the victims are only tax paying, honest people who get no protection from the system, often like our laws in Canada.
I understand putting him in a mental hospital, but to not notify this poor family when he gets out is just despicable!! Absolutely horrible. I hope god watches over your whole family very closely. I Can't imagine looking over your shoulder forever.
Dated a man by the family name of Dick, San Francisco early 2000s. Didn't last long or end well. Find out all you can about the other person including what mental health drugs they're on and if they know not to mix with booze every day. Run if both boxes are ticked if you don't want to have any big regrets later!
Before that lovely lady actually said wen she thinks that fear will actually end, I couldn't help but say out loud, "it'll be over wen the sick twisted evil bastard can't take air into his lungs & his 💔 stops beating!! Thats how that lady will be able to go to bed without any anxiety, fear & apprehension being the ever present factors in their lives! " May peace & quiet comee to this family sooner rather than later, i hope that they're children grow up fairly decent & not traumatised to within an inch of their lives coz of they're forever reminded of the constant fear that plagued their parents for over 2 years! But its not gonna stop yet, the fear i mean, bless them for being so incredibly strong & i admire them keeping heads held high & i hope their hearts will overcome that overwhelming fear & anxiety, just stick together & love each other & keep ur family close & never take each other for granted ever! 💪🏻🥰🤞🏻 May justice & the truth prevail in the end! Something has to give! Good luck, take good care of one another & love ur family! Peace Out! ✌🏻🤗🙏🏻
Why did Emma contact him? Is she a lonely lady? Imagine killing your brother with a samurai sword and then being free for 2.5 yrs. Was no-one else trying to catch him? Any unexplained murders during that time frame?
The Australian legal system is just a messed up as ours in that the criminal has more rights than victims. I also find it appalling that the family will not be notified when the perp is released.
I watch so many of these documentarys is it just me that sees the Australian police and authorities as so laid back they seem to float around there priorities
Well said.Lets start calling evil what it is.Evil lives in all of us.However for society to exist evil must be punished if out of control and a risk to others.
Horribly sad story about a man with mental illness A violent man And that's where he had a problem I do not agree that drugs did this otherwise 90% of the world would be killing people. And unfortunately we have made homelessness pretty criminal as it is so I do agree with them not forcing them to give an ID but if someone closely matches a wanted subject then yes, get that ID. I agree with her if violence is involved then they need to keep them locked up, even if it's in a mental state hospital for criminals.
The degree of premeditation and planning suggest that he fully understood what he was doing which contradicts the mental health defence. As does the strategy to deliberately evade capture and flee the crimes themselves. He spent 2+ years stalking his prey. This is not a man out of control of his faculties. It’s a disgrace that he wasn’t convicted. Systems broken.
I don’t understand how this monster can plan to kill, survive on his own and use the system to help him live in a tent and then get to claim insanity. All I can say to this beautiful family is arm your selves.
Danny and David are such a beautiful couple....I've got 3 of my own, & soon to be 3 grandsons, and I totally get doing anything in your power to protect your kids from anything negative or bad. David has a very kind face...kinda like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. That's who he kinda reminds me of. I'm so happy for them. I can't even imagine how their life was for that 2 years. Plus having the kids in fear, along with themselves.....what a nightmare. I just hope this guy gets the help he needs, and not just serving a prison term.
Such a sad story, it’s also sad they keep mentioning the punisher comics…. Without saying it straight out but inadvertently blaming and insinuating comics were somehow a cause or part of the cause for his horrible actions, like so many have done in the past to music, movies and video games.
- The mother and father didn’t recognize their own son at the video bc of shock/denial ?? I don’t think so 😡 I think those people are just narcissists and living in a bubble , they care about how they look and how they’re acting .. they love to be in center of the media crowd. 😡 Selfish and blind to everything else.
Justice system in Australia seems to be like here in Ireland also. That is, far too much favour is given to the perpetrator. I totally agree with Dani, she and her family were model citizens, paying their taxes, etc. And this guy carries out heinous acts but could be out in a few years. He should never be allowed out to the general public again.
Sadly most of us know a Johnathan in our lives.Never underestimate traits.If you see red flags take note.If there are too many for you to handle get out!
I luv the positive attitude of the wife.she is so strong and so sweet. I wish them the best Good always prevails
If good always prevailed there would be no victims or unsolved murders.
Yes but very dramatic. To say her child's innocence was ripped away completely is faaaaarrr overboard
When they said "Danny", I fugured guy was gay!!

"it'll be over wen the sick twisted evil bastard can't take air into his lungs & his 💔 stops beating!! Thats how that lady will be able to go to bed without any anxiety, fear & apprehension being the ever present factors in their lives! "
May peace & quiet comee to this family sooner rather than later, i hope that they're children grow up fairly decent & not traumatised to within an inch of their lives coz of they're forever reminded of the constant fear that plagued their parents for over 2 years! But its not gonna stop yet, the fear i mean, bless them for being so incredibly strong & i admire them keeping heads held high & i hope their hearts will overcome that overwhelming fear & anxiety, just stick together & love each other & keep ur family close & never take each other for granted ever! 💪🏻🥰🤞🏻
May justice & the truth prevail in the end! Something has to give!
Good luck, take good care of one another & love ur family! Peace Out! ✌🏻🤗🙏🏻
Only an Aussie can get brained by a hammer and respond with “Let’s do this”.
Excellent show - Thanks!
Why did Emma contact him? Is she a lonely lady? Imagine killing your brother with a samurai sword and then being free for 2.5 yrs. Was no-one else trying to catch him? Any unexplained murders during that time frame?
Don't forget
She Blames Marijuana 😂
It's time for the good old trusty noose to address these criminals. This saves the World a lot of trouble, money and heartache. Hang 'm high.
The Australian legal system is just a messed up as ours in that the criminal has more rights than victims. I also find it appalling that the family will not be notified when the perp is released.
I watch so many of these documentarys is it just me that sees the Australian police and authorities as so laid back they seem to float around there priorities
If it were the husband or wife of any one of that panel of doctors this monster was after, you can be sure he would never get out of that "hospital".
Emma my dear weed would never make anyone a killer.... he's just evil
Well said.Lets start calling evil what it is.Evil lives in all of us.However for society to exist evil must be punished if out of control and a risk to others.
Cops 45 min??? They were not ordering a pizza
What a beautiful family. I’m so sad you are going thru this. I pray God protects all of you and deals swiftly with this depraved minion.
Praying does nothing for anyone other than yourself.
no such thing as god
@@beaulieuc8910 I pray the God of all creation gently reveals how real He is to you today
Mary Jane doesn't make people become murderers.
They did a Job for the police what a friendship ❤❤❤and still can’t get justice they deserved
Horribly sad story about a man with mental illness A violent man And that's where he had a problem I do not agree that drugs did this otherwise 90% of the world would be killing people. And unfortunately we have made homelessness pretty criminal as it is so I do agree with them not forcing them to give an ID but if someone closely matches a wanted subject then yes, get that ID. I agree with her if violence is involved then they need to keep them locked up, even if it's in a mental state hospital for criminals.
Oh my my god, educate yourself. About the damage drugs do to one’s brain.
Sometimes a mental health facility is what is needed.
The degree of premeditation and planning suggest that he fully understood what he was doing which contradicts the mental health defence. As does the strategy to deliberately evade capture and flee the crimes themselves. He spent 2+ years stalking his prey. This is not a man out of control of his faculties. It’s a disgrace that he wasn’t convicted. Systems broken.
I feel bad for the victims 😢
I don’t understand how this monster can plan to kill, survive on his own and use the system to help him live in a tent and then get to claim insanity.
All I can say to this beautiful family is arm your selves.
You obviously don’t understand, look up the illness. Educate yourself.
Danny and David are such a beautiful couple....I've got 3 of my own, & soon to be 3 grandsons, and I totally get doing anything in your power to protect your kids from anything negative or bad. David has a very kind face...kinda like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. That's who he kinda reminds me of. I'm so happy for them. I can't even imagine how their life was for that 2 years. Plus having the kids in fear, along with themselves.....what a nightmare. I just hope this guy gets the help he needs, and not just serving a prison term.
Thats awful, that family should be notifies when there is a hearing and the result of that hearing for release, their lives were threatened.
Exactly. Evil. That`s the true fact not mentally ill in cases like this one here.
Evil must be abolished from this planet, the sooner the better.
What are you going to do ?
There was a brief shadow of Ed Kemper - (the garage).
The family knew.
Basement in US and a Shed in Australian Heat are two Different Things. 😂
Citizens catching criminals police responding hours after being called. What kind of justice is this?? Shocking.
If I was David if he ever came after me again he would NOT walk away. Period!
Such a sad story, it’s also sad they keep mentioning the punisher comics…. Without saying it straight out but inadvertently blaming and insinuating comics were somehow a cause or part of the cause for his horrible actions, like so many have done in the past to music, movies and video games.
GOOD JOB GUYS.
That’s a great documentary!
12:36 what a careful and thoughtful man: I managed to get him on the train, after just having shown up at the house with a knife. Really careful.
well he wanted to get him as far away from his family as possible
16:29
To see that man crying like that, you know that hit him.
Very troubling
Equating mental illness to evil is 👌🤦🤦
- The mother and father didn’t recognize their own son at the video bc of shock/denial ??
I don’t think so 😡
I think those people are just narcissists and living in a bubble , they care about how they look and how they’re acting .. they love to be in center of the media crowd. 😡
Selfish and blind to everything else.
My heart goes out to his victims and his mother..
I think the defence atty..n the judge is sicker than that killer
Justice system in Australia seems to be like here in Ireland also. That is, far too much favour is given to the perpetrator. I totally agree with Dani, she and her family were model citizens, paying their taxes, etc. And this guy carries out heinous acts but could be out in a few years. He should never be allowed out to the general public again.
So the mum didn't care about justice for her murdered son?
Sadly most of us know a Johnathan in our lives.Never underestimate traits.If you see red flags take note.If there are too many for you to handle get out!
