    In the first frames of this vid, you see a young woman walking along a path alone. You’re then shown a man who uncovers an axe, but before he can use it, another couple appear on the path. He then decides to not attack the lone woman. I wonder how many people have, unknown to themselves, escaped being murdered or attacked by the skin of their teeth.

    Murder maps is one of the best shows EVER! I look forward to these episodes SO much...everything from the story to the actors, to that fantastic host/announcer...This show is so incredibly done that it captures my attention every time...and I usually watch each episode a couple of times...and I don't do that with many other programs,but this one is SO good that I find myself fascinated with each new episode! PLEASE keep making more of these Murder maps!!!! Nicholas Day RULES!

      They also give super lenient sentences for murder. No parole means 25 years before parole usually. Real no parole is some nonsense called at the Queen's discretion or something like that. I've only heard about it used a handful of times. I think being convicted of rape gets you something like a 50 pents fine.

    • @kaylizzie7890

      Because, by no fault of their own, they were in the presence of a killer. The killer was in exactly the place and time they wanted to be. Another way to put it is that it was a coincidence, a grouping of random factors that came together to create the circumstances in which someone was killed.

    I'm really glad they chose the reenactment style that realizes it doesn't have to go into detail of the violent acts to get the points across. The blend of actual crime scene photos, evidence is perfect mix with the acting. I usually don't like reenacting because I don't care to see a actor play out violent acts. I'm more into analysis of the evidence and details and actual crime scene photos, I can handle twisted things it's just the acting out violence seems unnecessary to me to grasp the concept and criminal behavior. So it's just a pet peeve with reenactments then "not liking disturbing stuff" I'm all for learning intense shit. Anyways this show surprised me with how well they did this.

      Forensic pathologists are specifically trained to recognize the marks left by all kinds of things that might be used as weapons, including knives, machetes AND AXES.
      We already know that Whiteway had an established reputation for throwing these things. An axe is heavy and has a large blade. If you are skilled at throwing one I don't think it would be that difficult to kill someone.

    Yeah it is surprisingly quite easy to overhandedly whip an axe at a given target and find it's target. Almost every time just like the tomahawk
    A hand held small axe is perfectly designed to fly end over end and not diverging from its intended target due to the effect of yaw like when a bullet begins to turn end over end
    The fulcrum point obviously is the axe head because of the weight

      You can have the Closed Captioning on and select French. It may not be accurate but close enough.

    September of 2022- "This is helping me get through the pandemic." You're still quarantined or what? Where the F are you living? MOVE. That's dumb.

    The costumes in this series are sometimes correct for the era, sometimes hybrids of different eras or totally bogus such as tight, synthetic pants with spandex in the early 1950s. It's confusing and annoying..

    I advise everyone to watch the video at the playback speed of 1.25 because commentator is talking so slow that it gets boring and hard to follow i watched first 8 minutes at normal speed then started from the beginning with 1.25 playback speed and it was far more easier to listen.
