I want to also add that the broken glass warranted an immediate entry to the house. There is no excuse as to why they didn’t do that in the first place.
No fr that is absolutely a situation that does NOT require a warrant. But even before that, I would argue multiple neighbors calling in would also not at all require a warrant. We’ve seen people get SWATTED on livestream due to ONE person across the country calling in!
The restaurant my friend worked at had an angry customer, he ended up killing her manager. He was about to start shooting up the place before a customer who was eating pulled out his gun and killed the angry gunman. I live in Texas almost everyone has a gun.
@@brenna5957 there was a guy who shot and killed the pastor at a church by my house, one of the guys who was attending church pulled his gun out and shot the guy before he could kill more. He got a medal from governor Abbott 2 years ago for that.
I need to hear these 911 calls and what operators were saying to these terrified people witnessing this. Were they told officers were being dispatched? After more that a few calls how could they not see the urgency here?? So infuriating.
What I don't get is the fact that the neighbors told the dispatchers her ADDRESS. A restraining order isn't just tied to an individual it's also tied to the individual's home. You'd think that would be the first thing to come up after they gave an address and name. If it's not it should be. Her family has a solid case against the police department. They can say ALL DAY LONG how it was only "priority 2". The truth is someone, or maybe many more, someone's decided it wasn't a priority even after MULTIPLE CALLS. That poor woman lost her life when law enforcement could've saved her. Bunch of bs.
Yeah I’m wondering if the ball was dropped on the 911 dispatchers end or the police dispatchers end OR the police themselves but my gut is police because there had to be multiple 911 dispatchers receiving these calls, right??
We hear so often that people hear things going on but blow it off and don't call police. Not this time. I hope they get fired and that Connie's family sues. That won't bring her back, but maybe it will instigate reform. This is infuriating!
@@RachelShannon I’m an Army Iraq war vet, I don’t play games. A guy followed my mom up her stairwell and I walked him out via shotgun. Nope. Not going to happen. I’ll catch a case before I allow something to happen to my family.
@@angelabordack I’m not a vet but if I’m there I will be doing the same! Luckily since my mom is 72 she finally gave in and lives with us, My hubs, two daughters , myself and our two very large dogs a German shepherd and a pit/rottie mix. I also gave her pepper spray for her key chain she carries in her pocket. I also drive her most places now. I carry bear spray and a knife all the time. At home we have wasp spray near each door just in case. We have a security metal doors on the three entrances with a locking security screen doors. By the time they got in one of the doors my dogs and shotgun would be waiting. We also live in a rural town so not too many threats.
Those cops dropped the ball all the way around. I would be filing a law suit against them this is ridiculous. All my blessings and prayers to the family..
I agree with you 100%. I am a concealed carrier, I relay on my weapons to keep me and my family safe, unfortunately we need it with the times we are living…. Thank god , till now , I never had to fire it, but it may save our lives , just by being able to pull it out , the perpetrator may think twice when evaluating you as a possible victim.
Omg I just can't with this case. I'm SO PISSED OFF!!!! I hope her family sues the dispatchers who took her calls, the police who didn't do their jobs. Their laws need to change or their policy!! Where I live DV is huge so they r always priority calls and thank God too because more then half of them or crazy DV calls. We just had one where the ex broke into the house with a machete. The ex wife was hiding and thank God cops got there B4 he found her. She didn't even know he had that on him. I firmly believe she'd still be here had the dispatcher dispatched the call to the cops & those cops showed up the first time!!!
As a former victim, I will use my firearm if I have to. I'm happy I can own them. I'm not waiting half an hour when I or my loved ones need help NOW. If you cannot shoot a human, don't own a gun. If you're able to, they save lives every single day!!
This is so disturbing. I have never trusted the police to keep me safe, but cases like this make me even more sure of that. The average person can afford to be lazy at their jobs every now and then, but there are literally human lives at stake every time a cop decides not to do their due diligence. It's sickening how they never seem to feel guilty either
This is so horrible & heartbreaking. We always hear if you see something say something, but then cases like this it's like no matter how many people tried SO HARD to prevent this and do what they thought the right thing would be, they were ignored & brushed off!!! And no one took this seriously they were too damn lazy and incompetent it literally infuriates me. This case makes me very sad but very angry as well it's just so disappointing 😔 great coverage as always Rachel !!
The police were called numerous times with serious complaints warranting a welfare check. Once they saw the broken patio window, they had probable cause to enter. This is absolutely infuriating!
Thank you for speaking about owning a gun! 🙏 everyone should have right to defend themselves in a life or death -situations! You can rely only on yourself.
Very well done, as usual, Rachel. You are able to tell your story with a soft voice but will show anger when needed. You are very articulate and give the listener every bit of information that you have researched. This story is heartwrenching. No one knew if he had a weapon. Everyone was afraid to approach him. I am a friendly person. Even though I am old(er), I could make them feel special and they could get the wrong idea. Who knows🤔I will be more aware now. Thank you. Mary from FL
I have two friends I know I can count on, under any circumstances, no questions asked... My 357 and my 38 special. I'm hoping they don't make it through my two Turkish Akbash dogs but if they do - it's on me and I have absolutely no problem defending myself. Love your hair!
Stalking is terrifying. 💔 Back when mine started, there were zero anti stalking laws. I don't know about Connie's jurisdiction. But either way, this should not have occurred. Rest in peace 🕊️, Connie. 💔
I’m so sorry that you went through that and I completely empathize! I hope that you’re doing okay. Among other things, since it happened to me (almost 20 years ago), I still feel like I’m being followed while taking a walk in the middle of the afternoon and I refuse to go to bed unless I lock the doors and windows myself. No one can tell me they’ve done it; I need to check. And I LOVED how the police “can’t do anything until he escalates”. Oh, you mean I should just wait until he assaults and/or kills me? Okay, GREAT. I’m sure you’d tell the same thing to a family member. 🙄
So horrific. I happy you are safe today. I truly feel so horrible for Connie, for that psycho to be able to violate, and selfishly take her life, and the police to do Nothing!! There's NO excuse, they failed her miserably. She has to have been so terrified. I hope he gets everything he deserves, and she gets justice, in every way. R.I.P Connie ❤️
Sliding glass doors are so dangerous, especially for a single female, even more so for a single parent. I even keep my storm doors locked, i know that's not going to stop a burglar or someone trying to hurt me, but it will give me time to load. Personally, i don't have any use for an AR, but i do believe in protecting me and mine. Dispatch and LE really failed this lady! Rest in Peace, Connie.
Thank you! I’m not sure if I could kill someone even if my life depended on it. Maybe Connie is the same type. She let herself be murdered because she was too kind, self-sacrificing? Some of us need body guards.
The police should have believed her followed up with her. This is heartbreaking 💔 may she continue to rip 🕊️🙏❤️ and thanks for sharing this story Rachel.😘💕
🤬🤬💩💩💩🤬🤬 OH HELL NO!!! This poor girl and her family! Swear on everything holy... If I were her parents I would SUE THE 💩 OUTTA THE P.D. and EVERY COP who totally FAILED THIS GIRL!!
I once called the cops on my roommate and because I was terrified to open my room door my roommate was able to send them away. I had the call them again and complained how they never checked to see if I was even alive. It wasn’t like my roommate and I was easy to confuse. He was a big man 250-300lbs and I’m a 100lb woman!! Self defense is helpful but isn’t the point of police to step in when lives are in danger? So many people at risk, harmed, or murdered that could be prevented is heartbreaking and infuriating.
Yikes! That's crazy that they would listen to a person and just leave, when they were called there to help deal with that person. Hopefully he is no longer your roommate, and you either have your own place, or at least a better roommate.
Whenever someone tells me bs like "Who are you going to call when someone is doing something to you?" I'm just going to write Connie Dadkhah. May Connie rest in peace, she seemed to be a wonderful woman and the world is a bit darker without her here. 🕊️
I liked your opinion at the end about self-protection and our right to own firearms. You mentioned that the police's job is to protect us. In reality it's actually not, they don't actually have any obligation to help you if you're hurt or in trouble. It sucks but it's true
Finally! I've found another viewer who knows about this. I've been leaving comments similar to yours on true crime videos for years, naming court rulings for proof, but I've only had one person reply to me and I've never seen another commenter, until now, who knows the truth. For 40 years it's been ruled that the police have no duty to protect us and they can almost never be sued. I wish true crime channels would cover a case like Warren v District of Columbia and explain how it really works. The public believes that police's job is to protect us and help when we call. That's a very dangerous misperception that can cost lives. Thanks so much for commenting and helping inform people so they can be better equipped to protect themselves and their loved ones.
I have seen police wait outside homes there were active shooters with victims inside for HOURS. No one was coming for those people. Only to neutralize the shooter eventually. I won’t put my life in cops hands.
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! your closing to this video is exactly what it should be, each individual is the number one person in charge of their personal safety. As a father of three young girls I try to instill this in them
This is unacceptable period! The police dropped the ball for real and the family need to have a lawsuit against them. 😡 and yes I agree. You MUST have your own protection, we can’t rely on anyone else to protect us.
Wtf?! What were they doing that was so important that they couldn't respond to literally six people reporting an angry man breaking into a woman's house. Despicable
Luv u girl!❤️ just started the vid but I wanted to thank you for putting out amazing content and telling us the about the victims and keeping them the main point. I love your empathy and the way you show respect 💯
Thank you for mentioning "He felt entitled". That is the core of everything that is wrong with men, and it often gets overlooked. BTW, have you read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin deBecker? It's truly the very best book I've ever read when it comes to personal safety.
@@doinglifemyway1755 all men until no men. Maybe not all go out of their way to victimize us but pretty much all of you allow it, don’t believe us, or worse, even defend them. Until the system changes, as far as OUR safety is concerned, it’s all of you.
I had to look up the crime rates for Rancho Penasquitos, San Diego. Because I was thinking like, okay, maybe there's a high crime rate and that's why it took them awhile, plus the "level" they put it at. But this area is one of the safest areas in San Diego 🤔 So there was no officer in the area that could have checked out the situation??
Residents have a 1 in 133 chance of becoming a victim of ANY crime. All this doesn't matter because he was a stalker and not random, but I mean, what were the officers doing that they couldn't just go check it out? I MIGHT understand if it was a high crime area like Chicago, where they have to choose between bad and worse. But in this situation, there's NO excuses.
Stalking is terrifying, I’ve experienced it myself. But this was beyond heartbreaking 💔 Connie’s neighbours did what anyone would do and called the police, who failed miserably. I can’t believe how poorly they handled this. We rely on police to be there n help us in time of need. To go to her house n leave disgusted me. My heart goes out to Connie n her family. I can’t imagine the fear she felt n what she went through. I hope he rots in prison. Too many women are losing their lives to these so called men, we do need to protect ourselves n be there for each other. Rest In Peace Connie 🕊️🙏
Soooo happy I live in Texas and my husband is a combat vet and a marine so we have alot of protection that we are trained and safe with helps you sleep at night. Also these days you need to get an outside camera set up all.
Rachel I loved what you said about sticking up for yourself. Such a devastating out come for Connie. Though I think you did her story well + sent the message well out to us to be protective of ourselves + others. Thankyou.💜
This community should be out on the streets demanding more adequate police coverage. Were there just not enough cops to respond because they were at other more dangerous sounding calls?? I mean how the hell does this happen! 10 calls!! 10!
Thank you for your videos! I always enjoy watching, and this time it was inspiring to hear your opinions about womens safety, and taking responsibility for ourselves. Bravo, bravo!!
This is so sad, how badly she was let down by the system and police! Truly horrifying. Still as someone from Europe the amount of guns people have is also scary. I am all for people having them for self protection, but there is so much misuse of them daily and with mass shootings that I just can't agree with USA's stance for guns. It's just insane to me that there still isn't proper gun control or better way of doing checks on people buying guns.
It really makes you lose faith in the people who are supposed to keep you safe. Not that I even had much to begin with. The bar was on the floor & they still couldn’t clear it.
I live in Scotland in the uk and I literally hate being home alone with my kids as I worry what I would do if someone entered my home, it’s always an awful thought when home alone! We can’t have firearms or weapons :(
I may have missed it but did she herself call police? Its so sad that so many people actually tried to help which rarely happens these days. Hopefully her family can help make some change to the way officers respond on future calls.
I live in San Diego and called last year for help during an active standoff between me and a woman who had been stalking my childhood home while my late father was living there. A week after he died, I stopped by to find weird signs she'd posted and signs of a breakin. I called 911 after busting into the front door and she'd removed the door knob. I'm a dumbass for just charging in but she was violating my dead loved ones. Still even with screaming and her refusing to leave, the police left me there with her for 3 hours after many calls, and my uncle arriving to help me. I'm so upset it took 3 hours for a response.
My husband and I have taught all 4 of our girls how to safely and properly use a gun. I hope they never have to implement these skills but they have than if need be.
Couldn’t agree more, Rachel! We have trained our children as well (with g**s, self defense), our 21 year old daughter and 18 year old son are VERY trained and comfortable with these. Our daughter is now a Mom and has moved thousands of miles away and I’m very HAPPY that she owns and knows how to use a g** to protect herself and her family, and the same goes for me and our 18 year old son. Our 5 year old son has not been taught how to handle or shoot YET, but we will be teaching him soon. I don’t want my kids or anyone I love to rely on someone else for their own personal safety, I want them to know how to protect THEMSELVES. As do their father and I.❤️👌🤷♀️❤️
This makes me so angry. I live in San Diego and this is terrible that the police didn't do their job. I also have been stalked before. So sad this never should have happened.
Stalking victims are NEVER taken seriously until a lot of damage has already been done.
I want to also add that the broken glass warranted an immediate entry to the house. There is no excuse as to why they didn’t do that in the first place.

I wondered that too. So awful.
This makes me angry. I hope her parents sue the crap out of this police department
Defunding police might not be a great idea
I agree ☝️ you can only truly trust yourself!! 🤨
That blows me away that the cops were called so many times but did not take it seriously 😒😒
You are right! I am furious! What the? The neighbours did the right thing, unlike in the Kitty Genevese case and Connie was still murdered!
Who knew this would turn into a 2nd Amendment advertisement lol
This could have been prevented had the police came out after the first or second, or even third call, so infuriating 😡
I had to look up the crime rates for Rancho Penasquitos, San Diego. Because I was thinking like, okay, maybe there's a high crime rate and that's why it took them awhile, plus the "level" they put it at. But this area is one of the safest areas in San Diego 🤔 So there was no officer in the area that could have checked out the situation??
755 incidents per 100,000 people
Residents have a 1 in 133 chance of becoming a victim of ANY crime. All this doesn't matter because he was a stalker and not random, but I mean, what were the officers doing that they couldn't just go check it out? I MIGHT understand if it was a high crime area like Chicago, where they have to choose between bad and worse. But in this situation, there's NO excuses.
Stalking is terrifying, I’ve experienced it myself. But this was beyond heartbreaking 💔 Connie’s neighbours did what anyone would do and called the police, who failed miserably. I can’t believe how poorly they handled this. We rely on police to be there n help us in time of need. To go to her house n leave disgusted me. My heart goes out to Connie n her family. I can’t imagine the fear she felt n what she went through. I hope he rots in prison. Too many women are losing their lives to these so called men, we do need to protect ourselves n be there for each other. Rest In Peace Connie 🕊️🙏
so beyond frustrated with the police work in this. this poor lady😢
The poor, poor cop's hands are tied! Biggest lie ever told.
Completely preventable. Tough one to listen to
Great closing on your rights to protect yourself 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Good job on this one and I agree with you we should all be able to take care of ourselves
Yes ma'am preach!!! I agree with you 1000% I am not waiting on someone to possibly come save me.
I’m glad! It’s always best to trust yourself first, and hope for the best when you do call for help!
They probably could have saved her. This is heartbreaking.
I lived in San Diego I had a violent ex and the cops didn't do anything time and time again
this is absolutely infuriating . if they had of just went out there the first or second OR THIRD TIME this coulda been prevented
The cops put more effort into a small drug bust than this case.... They should be ashamed, but they don't care enough to fell that way....
SHOCKING!!!
Yup!
Another horrible law enforcement fail that cost a life. This is so sad.
I really like your views and you telling the true crime stories! You're one of my favorites!
Soooo happy I live in Texas and my husband is a combat vet and a marine so we have alot of protection that we are trained and safe with helps you sleep at night. Also these days you need to get an outside camera set up all.
Rachel I loved what you said about sticking up for yourself. Such a devastating out come for Connie. Though I think you did her story well + sent the message well out to us to
be protective of ourselves + others. Thankyou.💜
How'd I miss this video? Ohhh maybe how this crime was also overseen... arf!!! So presentable!!!!!
How hopeless stalking victims must feel 😢
Agreed. They shouldn’t have to feel so helpless :/
This community should be out on the streets demanding more adequate police coverage. Were there just not enough cops to respond because they were at other more dangerous sounding calls?? I mean how the hell does this happen! 10 calls!! 10!
Thank you for your videos! I always enjoy watching, and this time it was inspiring to hear your opinions about womens safety, and taking responsibility for ourselves. Bravo, bravo!!
The neighbors should come together and file a class action lawsuit against the police department. This was preventable. RIP Connie 💔
Very good idea. This was 100% preventable
They ALL need to be fired, there’s NO excuse this is disgusting
I know. Seriously
I agree with you about personal safety! Thank you for emphasizing that!
This is so sad, how badly she was let down by the system and police! Truly horrifying.
Still as someone from Europe the amount of guns people have is also scary. I am all for people having them for self protection, but there is so much misuse of them daily and with mass shootings that I just can't agree with USA's stance for guns. It's just insane to me that there still isn't proper gun control or better way of doing checks on people buying guns.
This is a story that really breaks my heart I can't imagine her expecting help to come and no one shows up. I hope everyone involved was fired.
Exactly. I hope so too, but I don’t think they were :/
It really makes you lose faith in the people who are supposed to keep you safe. Not that I even had much to begin with. The bar was on the floor & they still couldn’t clear it.
Hair looks gorgeous!
Aw thank you :)
I live in Scotland in the uk and I literally hate being home alone with my kids as I worry what I would do if someone entered my home, it’s always an awful thought when home alone! We can’t have firearms or weapons :(
10 calls, and a bisit and just left, grrr. Her blood is also on their hands. Diabolical 😡😡
I may have missed it but did she herself call police? Its so sad that so many people actually tried to help which rarely happens these days. Hopefully her family can help make some change to the way officers respond on future calls.
I’m wondering this too.
I also wondered this. And whether she was telling him to get away or just pretended to not be there so he’d leave.
Please protect yourselves! Practicing your second amendment right is so vital! Thank you for bringing this up, Rachel.
If guns work so well then why are there so many mass shootings where the perp isn’t shot by citizens?
It wouldn’t need to be so vital if y’all had stricter gun laws. So ridiculous
This case angers me so much, thank you for another great video, I love that I found your channel. Keep up the amazing work.
I felt the same way. And thank you
You are such a sensitive and sensible young lady. Xxx
Love the hair color!!
Tragic event!! They could have saved her, if the officers would have responded to the man acting a fool!
Thanks for all your videos I especially enjoyed the self defense talk at the end.
In the US a taser is a pretty innocuous self defense tool to have as a woman. Meaning it’ll get you out of a situation without lethal force
WTF?!!! the police and 9111 failed her!!!
I live in San Diego and called last year for help during an active standoff between me and a woman who had been stalking my childhood home while my late father was living there. A week after he died, I stopped by to find weird signs she'd posted and signs of a breakin. I called 911 after busting into the front door and she'd removed the door knob. I'm a dumbass for just charging in but she was violating my dead loved ones. Still even with screaming and her refusing to leave, the police left me there with her for 3 hours after many calls, and my uncle arriving to help me. I'm so upset it took 3 hours for a response.
My husband and I have taught all 4 of our girls how to safely and properly use a gun. I hope they never have to implement these skills but they have than if need be.
Agreed! I’m glad you’ve given them good tools to use should they need to, though hopefully they’ll never have to
Couldn’t agree more, Rachel! We have trained our children as well (with g**s, self defense), our 21 year old daughter and 18 year old son are VERY trained and comfortable with these. Our daughter is now a Mom and has moved thousands of miles away and I’m very HAPPY that she owns and knows how to use a g** to protect herself and her family, and the same goes for me and our 18 year old son. Our 5 year old son has not been taught how to handle or shoot YET, but we will be teaching him soon. I don’t want my kids or anyone I love to rely on someone else for their own personal safety, I want them to know how to protect THEMSELVES. As do their father and I.❤️👌🤷♀️❤️
This makes me so angry. I live in San Diego and this is terrible that the police didn't do their job. I also have been stalked before. So sad this never should have happened.
The police should face charges on this.
Just curious why? She did not want to press charges on him which I definitely would have done to a creepy co-worker.
Absolutely agree 100 %
!!!
