As a middle aged male, I am not your typical watcher. Once my teenage daughters saw your channel playing as I was working in the garage and pretty much flipped out. " Dad, why are you watching a girl put makeup on?" I told them I don't actually watch. I just listen to the cases that she presents each week. So keep up the good work...
My old arthritic bones also! I had the internet in 1997 in my home and I was the first in my neighborhood to have access to the internet so I am so surprised that somebody was already out there scamming and making money in 95!
Hearing you say consent can be withrdrawn at any time really made me happy to hear. I knew this already, but not a lot of people seem to believe that and think that if you said yes before, whether it be months before the act or seconds before, then you consented and it wasn't assault. I've been assaulted before. I was too afraid to take it to court because they'd see in messages I "consented" to SOME acts and I didn't want to be victim blamed by the courts when people I knew already victim blamed me enough.
Funny you said this, cause I'm literally the same. I love true crime channels and have found my way to subscribing to a bunch, but Danielle (and her lovely accen) Bailey, Rachel Shannon and That Chapter are the only 4 I usually look out for new videos from
I was 13 in 1995 when the Internet started to become common. I remember all of the chat rooms and AOL. Everything was so archaic and finding information for school projects wasn't allowed because it wasn't considered a reliable source (not much has changed!). But what I mostly remember are the pervs in those chat rooms and the pornography pop ups. My friends and I would flirt with strangers and say we were of age 🤦♀️A total predator paradise
Haha yes I was 12 and every chat room was a sex chat room. Minutes in someone would pop up and start, even when I stated I was 12! Paedo heaven as you said. Mum found out and was banned in our house, MSN obsession still prevailed tho but with friends only
Oh yeah totally. There was no control whatsoever and everything was unfiltered. It was also the time where you went online and your parents told you to be very careful who you talked to yet were totally OK with you giving your address out to penpals to write you letters or have someone call you on your landline 😂
I was 16 in 1995, and I don't remember anyone using the internet. lol My dad and stepmom had a computer. But all she ever did on it was play solitaire. lol My first internet experience came in 2001. I had an email. Then, I went into chat rooms on AOL and Yahoo. LOL But nothing outside of that. I can't believe this woman was ahead of her time and making money on the internet in 1995.
I met my groomer on a 1-900 chat line in January 1990... Pre net, at age 14. So dangerous. Awful time. Those perverts were usually deadly serious. I spent so many years in therapy after running away to meet that grown ass man. Now, I'm so careful with my son's Internet access. Because it's so much easier to access kids today 😢
7:43 They would mail in a check with a filled-out subscription slip. My mom did thst for me when I was a kid back with Nickelodeon magazine from decades ago. This is still how many publications are subscribed to, especially by older generations. I work at a newspaper and we regularly have people cut out subscription forms, fill them out, put that in an envelope with a check, and mail it to us. That is how we get both payment AND mailing info for sending out the paper! 😊
Yeah just look at Canada they will give the go ahead just because people r alittle depressed to take their own life ur right life doesnt mean crap anymore and this country is leading the way up there Canada see s nothing wrong with this
That was the opposite of my experience with it. My family member fell and was badly injured at 100 years old last year. She was ready to go and in horrible pain, but the doctors wouldn't approve her because she wasn't 100% mentally stable enough by the time they came by.@@sharonrusso1191
My mom was killed in October of 2022 and your videos have been a huge part of getting through it all. Even when other crime channels are too much, I can always watch yours. Thank you for everything and I truly hope next year brings you the peace and happiness you deserve
I think the letter to her husband makes it pretty clear that she had no intent of making it out alive. The fact that she willingly entered that hovel of a trailer with this guy - well, she couldn't have thought for even a second that she was going to end up any other way. I think this was Sharon's ultimate f ewe to her family and religious upbringing. I think she knew that this would bring them shame and devastation within their community, and that was a big part of it. I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Sharon had been violently SA'd in her childhood. That said, it's fitting that Robert never left prison. People like him don't need to be roaming around in society. As you said so well, we can't ever know if she consented to the end. Plus, anyone who would do this to another person is just plain dangerous.
Reminds me of the case of the cannibal in Germany. A person may be sick or desperate, but you don't have to play along with their sick wishes. If you enjoy this kind of stuff you are dangerous, consent or no
Lmao you just made a bunch of bs s*** to blame her family for her behaviours and not her. She was an adult, far away from her family so all her decisions were hers and only hers to blame. Period.
@@georgecyp.4581nope that was consencual. There is a reason multiple people entered his home changed their minds and were free to go back home. He shouldn't be in prison as he is not dangerous to society.
I remember hearing this story with Bailey Sarian but I love hearing the same story with different ppl explain it bc everyone sees and says things so differently
Dang that says a lot!! I started my true crime RUclips journey with BS and will always love her, but I don't remember her covering this case!! I love them both, but I think I've moved on from any BS true crime and have been focusing more on her dark history podcasts (which are fantastic).
Aww Danielle, I'm sorry you had such a difficult year, it really resonates with me because this year was the hardest of my life (and i've had some pretty bad experiences. I cannot speak for the rest of your subscribers, i can only speak for myself when I say you are also important for me. you make me company while I'm alone cooking or cleaning. I really like how emotional you get with injustices and the horrors a person can do to another. Thanks for your content
Just wanted to say you got me through a breakup, a job loss, 18 months of chronic illness and a dementia diagnosis for my dad which also put a massive strain on my mum. 2023 did suck. But the end of 2023 is the light at the end of the tunnel. Your videos as a distraction I would say we're probably the best thing that got me through. So don't fret, you're always stronger than you think as long as you don't stray too far from the path. Thank you for all the work you put in. We all love your videos. (I think i may have watched them all now 😢)
I’m so sorry! Life really sucks sometimes! My Dad has Alzheimer’s & I know the nightmare that everything seems at times. My Mums pain from my Dads diagnosis & frustrations AND pain from caring for him at times is harder to handle than my Dad & his awful condition. My heart goes out to you. I suffer from chronic pain & I know what you mean about Danielle! Watching her producing consistently great work despite her health & pain is truly inspirational! I can’t imagine living through a breakup AND dealing with everything. Bless your heart! I have my husband & my teenage (incredibly stressful, yet beloved & adored ❤) children to lean on! I wish you all the best in the new year! Get out there into the world & have some fun. The world is full of awesome people. Have a great time getting to know some of them!
I truly hope things improve for you in 2024!! As someone who has also been through quite a lot your comment struck a chord with me. 😢 This too shall pass! ~ I’ve been keeping that in mind for about 13 years now 😂 Best wishes my friend 😘😘
I'm so sorry that things have been tumultuous for you this year, no one would ever know because you conduct yourself so professionally. I do my makeup everyday to your videos so we can get ready together:) I also have a quote hung up in my kitchen that reminds me of you, "look up, get up, show up, never give up" and that's exactly what you do, without fail! You are a beautiful individual inside and out, please keep the content coming, we all love it!!! Happy Christmas 🎄
So sorry to hear that Danielle. You truly are a special lady. You conduct and tell all your videos with such care and respect. I honestly wish you lots of best wishes in all that you do in the future. You so deserve it. Sending you hugs and love, Jenna❤❤xx
Danielle!! We love you girl, your delivery is second to none. Whatever is going on in your personal life, I truly wish you well in 2024, and I am so thankful for you.
Hi Danielle ! I’m from the silent majority, but for once I’m early so I’m commenting. Thank you for your respect towards victims and always emphasizing the seriousness of the true crime topic. Recently I’ve been side eyeing some creators and the way they treat such serious tragedies, but I still like true crime content and your channel is an oasis. Love you ! (and your dog!)
I agree, I already knew this story but she narrated it very well. One point I think she missed tho: one that makes this story even more horrifying. The murderer promised Sharon that he would gonna shatter her body parts in the wilderness, or burn, I can't remember. But after she was dead, he DIDN'T. He buried her but that was not her wish. Which it looks like a minor thing, in such a terrible case, but it gives you the idea he was not respecting her in any way, nor followed her willings, maybe she asked to be not killed at the last moment, or maybe she wanted to eat or drink during those 3 days... he did just what HE wanted. He tricked her and the proof is that he did'nt respected her will to be disposed in a specific way. Poor Sharon.
I have a question...why should anyone cater to everyone sensibilities? A person should be free to tell and express stories, the way they wish to....that's why we have varieties. Go for what you want along with your side eyes. Just saying
I appreciated reading what they added about the case, & why they added it; cuz they thought it was important since it shows that the defendant/killer/Robert didn’t respect every wish Sharon had expressed to him (like the defense had claimed.) & it does add quite substantial proof that he wasn’t some consent-following innocent person just going along with this woman’s fantasy. He was a sadist who used her & her mental illness to get off. Just like you said people can tell a story however they want? Likewise, people can comment with their opinion. & at least they added something of value while also respecting Danielle’s version. - to the person who added the part about Sharon’s after death wishes, thank you for sharing that. I agree that it is actually not a small thing at all & is an important piece of this case. & Danielle is the best! 🫶🏻💕
Hearing you say “try to imagine the internet in 1995” just highlights how far out of your demographic I am! I was in my mid 20s with two young children. I don’t have to imagine….I REMEMBER!😂😂❤❤ The best part was my Austin Powers…”you got mail, baby”🤣🤣😍😍
I’m 22, but honestly it seems like the internet was a lot more fun back in the day? Basic things and services were so much more customizable. Now the internet feels like all business! I can change the color for the search bar in my google account and whatnot, but there aren’t any fun animated things or cute little sounds that are easily available. Even cars are full of computer parts now and I just want a car with a CD player and a tape deck and no weird computerized systems past the dashboard lights- not because I want to be different of special but because I’m kind of terrified of the computerized pieces in my car malfunctioning. My second car (my first car got totaled when I got t boned lol) had an electronic issue and it was really dangerous at times. It was mostly due to someone putting the engine in weird after rebuilding it funny, but oh my god, feeling a car buck and having to turn it off and back on while driving until I could pull over to mess with the spark plugs was NOT fun. I love how much technology has allowed us to learn and get access to, but I wish it was more fun, and I wish there were options to leave a lot of it out of my car!!
@Boing2699 I'm not sure it taking 5 minutes to connect or load a page was fun, and God forbid there was flash on the page (the fun little videos and sounds) because things timed out too quickly. The fact that I spent my vacation learning to code Javascript probably jaded me a bit, but what we did have were communities, with their own us and downs, drama as well as forming friendships with people we didn't have access to before the internet. I still talk to people I met in chat rooms way back when. There's good and bad no matter when you discovered tech and what it could mean for your life ❤
I was in my mid 20s with a young child in 1995 and can still hear the "you've got mail" vividly 😂😂😂I wonder what those that couldn't imagine "our" internet would do having to rely on phone books like the yellow pages and white pages😂😂
@jazzyjs lol I'm not sure they'd fully understand how to use the yellow or white pages, and OMG what do you mean public telephone... like random strangers used them and got germs on them? Lol
This case is beyond sad. Stumbled across your video because it was mentioned in a reddit comment and I wanted to know more. I only see two people who were clearly not doing well mentally and that never got proper help. I did not expect all of this at the start.
I have clinical depression and your videos is something I do still look forward too. Especially when every day is hard to even get out of bed. Keep pushing girl.
Pls take care of yourself. If you haven't tried counseling and medications pls think about it. I have/had suffered from depression and a combination of both have helped so much. People who have not had depression find it hard to understand why you can't just snap out of it. Please know I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. ❤
You don’t have to live with “hard to get out of bed depression”. It’s incredibly hard. I believe that talking through what’s haunting my head, is vitally important. Therapy in is a great idea! I wish that I had taken my advise when I was younger. I’ve wasted so many years in pain. I wish I’d had the strength to force a change in my life, getting out-there into the world! Always seeking professional help & medications is a good start. When I look at my life with depression I realise that my life was lacking in one of the areas that experts say are essential for ‘A happy life’, usually a close friend group, interests & activities etc. Mostly depression & relationship problems have gone hand in hand. I’m a person that needs to feel safe & secure to be happily content.
@@suzimonkey345 I do have a therapist. I have huge trust issues with the psychiatric field. The reason why look up Dr. Hyatt Springdale, Arkansas look at court cases he has over 50 Civil Court cases filed against him. The state has filed against him. He’s got a felony A and I’m one of his victims from seeking help because I tried to end my life a few years ago, it’s very difficult for me to trust after what I have live through with what he did to me and his staff and the hospital and within itself is why I come here to RUclips and watch Danielle. It helps. Keep my mind off of things.
This brings me back to the days when my mom was a aol chat host and was talking to so many guys. They were sending her all across the country on lavish trips and sending gifts to her and us. One guy was a Revlon rep and he sent her a huge box of their new makeup line. It's was crazy
You owe us nothing danielle!! We’re the blessed ones getting your true crime takes out here for FREEE🤯 in all seriousness, I adore you. you handle the cases with tact and I genuinely learn about the world, about safety and treating each other with respect through you
I watch her videos since more than one year but I only recently noticed the note in her description about Bayley Sarian! I'm honestly stunned. Never saw such a humble and kind declaration of a youtuber to another. Now I love Danielle even more.
13:07. You should have prefaced around this time stamp for people to stop eating at around this time, lol... I almost lost my lunch. 😂😂😂 Gur-ross and a major EWW 😂😹🤣😹😂😂😂
We appreciate you honey. I started watching your videos when my 16yo daughter died and it's been a welcome distraction. It cuts both ways, you have helped us as much as we've helped you. You deserve success, you put your heart and soul into every video. Have a lovely Xmas and I hope next year will be better for you X 🤗

Sweetie! I completely understand the sentiment. Thought last year was bad, but this one was here to prove us wrong. What you do is incredible, it really is. So many people share these stories online, but not like you do. Always remembering the victims, always considering the way they may have felt in the moment. That's what we can't forget and tend to get so numb to after hearing so many tragic stories retold. Seeing you break into tears hurts so much because I know how the internet can treat people who put themselves out there while you're just providing a safe place for likeminded people to come together and find each other. Of course I don't know even a little what you're actually going through personally, but I need to care. The same way you tell us to think about the victims in these retellings, there's a person behind the story and their pain is real. We are here for you.
You darling woman… I don’t know what you’ve been dealing with… but you help us through OUR days too! For me… I’ll put a playlist on (because I watch all of your new videos within the first few hours of them being uploaded, lol) and I’ll do projects around my store, or home… you make the time fly by! I think your voice is one of my favorites of all of my RUclipsrs (you and Molly Westbrook ❤). Please take this time to decompress, heal, laugh, relax, find a snuggle with a loved one or 2, and come back when you’re ready. We’ll be here. 💞
I love that Danielle matches her colour of nails to her eyeshadows. I legit look at Danielles nails in every video and know what the colour of eyeshadow she’ll be going for. Genuinely adorable 💅🏼💜
Honestly, it sounds like she started the chats initially as a scam and to mess with people, because it's one of those things people don't talk about, so there's going to be a natural curiosity to it. At some point along the way, she found most of it to be tame and actually started getting some enjoyment out of it beyond just messing with people. To the point of wanting to experience it. Kinda like "fake it till you make it", but it's "you've pretended this role so long, you can no longer distinguish yourself from it" to an extreme.
Hi Danielle! Danielle here, I'm so sorry you've had a tough go of it. I truly hope 2024 is a wonderful year for you. We love you! Thank you for your content. ❤
Thank you for speaking of the difference between this and assisted suicide. It is a completely different situation and I was worried there wouldn't be a distinction.
Interesting fact. I live in the only state has no problem with assisted suicide. Now they call it "pain management" but it still is an assisted suicide regardless of whether a doctor or family member increases the morphine
@fabh9674 genuine question, why does the thought of a terminally ill person ending their own suffering, or even preventing their own suffering before it starts, such a bad thing? Would you rather they do something violent to themselves like a traditional suicide rather than pass very peacefully? Or just suffer for the sake of their families to have delayed, inevitable grieving?
When i was a teenager buying goth magazines from New York online we used money orders. It was a risk, but you went through certain websites. If those websites found out they were scamming they would basically get word out that those people were untouchable in the scene. Nobody would do business with them.
I remember the days of money orders and international reply coupons! I bought pagan magazines and books that way. It feels like eons ago, it sometimes staggers me how much has changed.
Hey beautiful Danielle, thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us these crazy stories. I appreciate you so much. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and may this new year be a bright loving one. ❤️
Or we would send a personal check and get the product. That way there was a paper trail if it was cashed and we didn’t get the item which was rare back in the day
Checks. Checks drawn on a checking account. You put them in an envelope, put a stamp on it and mailed the check. Once the check was received and it cleared the bank whatever you ordered was mailed to you. Common turnaround time was 4-6 weeks to receive the product.
Thank you for what you do Danielle! I'm a terminal cancer patient and I still work full time. When I get home I lay in bed and listen to your videos and it just chills me out. It's crazy how much we all rely on each other... we rely on you to give us something to hear and learn about and you rely on us to give you something to work toward. I appreciate and love you! From Memphis TN all the way to the UK ❤❤❤
@michelledickson6303 I'm a survivor and have had multiple types with multiple occurrences (cervical while pregnant with my 1st son, breast multiple times, even a shocking pregnancy 3 months after the last treatment and 2nd marriage, and as this last June esophageal). If you ever need a friend that understands and can be an open ear and shoulder/qwerty board to cry on.....I'm always here! No matter the time or day! ❤❤❤❤
@kristiebisbop1738 again sorry for the late reply as I'm just watching her video. Very good news you're in remission or at least as what I'm getting out of what you're saying. 🫶🏻
@@Siren_Silence Thank you sugar! You're so sweet! 🥰 I'm hoping and praying it's all good and I'm in remission. Find out soon. Dang 80's with everyone smoking and teenage stupidity probably brought that one on! Haha! ***Have to find humor in life right?! Lol!*** Oh.....and you definitely weren't late to reply doll. Not at all! Thank you for REPLYING! Made my day and warmed my ❤ heart❤! Especially when I'm feeling old and decrepit! Lol! ***tomorrow is my horrid birthday. Lol! I'm voting to go backwards now! I'm refusing to take on 42! Hahaahahha!!*** I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful holiday full of happiness and utter love; and here's to having a fabulous new year....with the best year yet going forward to 2024! 💗
Yes, we're well behind the rest of the world with our rail service. The car (really the SUV, oversized pickup, etc.) rules America, and we're lucky to have passenger trains at all. "It's that little souvenir of a terrible year...." It's been rough all over. Your videos have been a constant for me. You've gone deep into some very disturbing stories for us, and I appreciate your hard work and human compassion. Here's to a better new year.
This video is the first time I felt SUBSTANTIALLY older than Danielle…😂 I remember aol messenger, when she said “surely there was no PayPal?” I died lmao
It became shockingly clear how large our age gap was when you said you can’t imagine what the internet looked like and I can vividly remember having been there. lol.
Hi Danielle, It breaks my heart to hear that it’s been such a difficult year for you. I’m sure I speak for al lot of your viewers when I say that you’ve also helped us get through the tough times with your videos (and podcast), and I’m glad your viewers have been able to help you get through. Sending all the love and prayers that 2024 will be a much better year for you. We love you! Merry Christmas. x
Someone who wants to be murdered (in the way Sharon wanted to be murdered, no less) is MENTALLY ILL. 5150! We wouldn’t let someone jump off a bridge to their death without trying to talk them down or grab them, would we? Sharon’s bridge was…unconventional…but suicidal nonetheless. Thank you for sharing this case (and for sharing your heart about your personal life. ❤) I look forward to Sundays ☀️ I hope you have a restful next few weeks and see you in 2024! MUCH LOVE TO YOU, DANIELLE!
That thought was in my head quite a bit. If she'd let someone know outside of the "relationship" they had, she'd have been 5150'd and given proper care. I don't yuck on another person's yum, but this is beyond the pale.
@squeakybgaming people did try to talk her out of it when realizing she was serious on the forums but she insisted they leave her alone & only contact her if they’re serious etc they even told her where to reach out for help, it’s sad we won’t ever know if she changed her mind or what lead her to such sick desires & wanting to die in such a horrifying painful way. sad for her husband to think about how if he’d found that note sooner the police could’ve saved her, as well as if the police didn’t just watch his house for 3 whole days after she’d left over a week ago at that point. ugh so easily preventable on law enforcements part & the creep, but also her being so suicidal the 12hr train ride seemingly didn’t snap her out of it, being at his house assumably didnt, but we won’t ever know if she truly did change her mind or want it to stop. it’s hard to feel for her when she saved, shared, and sold videos of women being brutally raped, but at the same time she was so sick in the head she may have not actually enjoyed that stuff in reality. ugh it’s super conflicting emotionally
I have to admit i avoided your channel for awhile when it was recommended to me. I dont usually like the makeup + true crime combo channels but im SO glad i finally checked yours out. Its kind of relaxing to watch you do your makeup throughout but the focus is 100% on the case. You do a respectful, thorough job on all your videos (ive binged a ton now! 😅) and its super impressive.
Hi Daniella, I recommend the case of Josef Fritzul. This man lured his daughter into the basement of his house where he kept her captive, sexually abused her and they actually had several children. There is a movie called ‘The Girl In The Basement’ which is about this. Apparently one of them unfortunately passed away, I’ve seen a lot of media cover but I would love to hear you tell us this story…
I’m from Austria and they are thinking about letting him out of jail. I hope it doesn’t happen, because a monster like that will never change and is a danger to society and children. Austrian "prisons" are way to nice anyway.
This is SUPER random, but it's about you, so here goes. I was on Amazon looking for winter gloves earlier. This one pair I looked at had finger pads that allowed you to scroll on your phone. The video attached to the product listing shows a girl wearing the gloves open her phone, click on RUclips, and BOOM! there was your face! You were apparently in her suggested videos! (Probably because she watches you!) I thought it was cool, and wanted to tell you! Love your content, you are an amazing story teller! ❤
Danielle, I don't think you realise how much you keep us going too. For so many of us, your videos will be the highlight of our week. Thank you so much for the work you do, not only giving a voice to these victims, but also giving us something to look forward to each week ❤
This was a crazy, sick case. Also, people of smaller countries don't always think about how large the US is. 12 hours is still a long train ride. It takes like a week to drive from West Coast to East Coast. Taking a train can take longer but is cheaper than driving.
it has been a hard year for libras (rising including), but you're such a magnificent force that's hard to find these days. thank you for always delivering your videos with clarity, insight, and fabulous color palettes each Sunday. cheers to you! stay warm :)
I don't know if it actually includes the murder, but she was definitely into it, up until that point. She chased that fantasy way too hard for it to be a grift.
I think she was into it, and probably was trying to escape her old life with this guy. But, like Danelle said you cannot consent to murder. This case reminds me a lot of the case of Natalie Bollinger. I said something smiler in the comments of Rob Dyke’s video on her case. And everyone, including Shawn Schwartz (which I’m not saying what the POLICE did to him was right) got in a full on meltdown argument about it towards me. It’s like, “dude, this is murder. It’s not ever okay” Some people are very lost and mentally ill, and sometimes they encounter messed up people. That doesn’t ever make it excusable. Danelle should totally do the case of NB.
@@SamtheMan3014 Ah yes, Armin Meiwes (sorry if I spelled it wrong). He actually cut off the victim's... male's area of interest and ate it together and he died from the injuries. He's become a vegetarian ever since, apparently.
@@JarlBalgruff_bwahahaha. I didnt hear about the vegetarian bit..... sounds like a way to try and shorten your sentence/be paroled. There was another creepy, nerdy, Japanese man who cannibalised a woman ending in her death. A very unwilling victim. He served very little jail time (rich family) and is now a weird celebrity, who has put out cannibal cook books. Weird fkn world
@@RamdomManeGenerator100% agreed with you. She probably has some illnes and toxically meshed with the fetish. That applies to both if them btw. To me, her actions sound like an obsession.
Awe Daniel I’m sorry 2023 didn’t go well for sweetie, but just know you are loved and admired by myself and my daughters that love to watch your true crime videos. We appreciate your hard work and never miss a video. We sincerely send you our best wishes and may the New Year 2024 bring you joy and happiness 💞🥰🫶🏼 Virtual hugs going to you. ☺️
I also hope you know how much you help us get through in life. Personally, when my mind is clouded with negativity or I’m feeling lonely (now that I live further away from friends and family), I just pop on one of your videos and immerse myself in the story. Thank you for being here. Thank you for all your hard work. You truly don’t know the difference you make🖤
I'm usually never in the comments, but I wanted to take the time to say that your channel is one of the few where I look forward to watching every upload. Whatever it is going on in your personal life, just know that you're surrounded with countless people (even us strangers) who care about you! I hope next year brings you plenty of good fortune and joy. You're stronger than you know! xx
Its been such a difficult year for me as well, going through a breakup, battling chronic anxiety, and trying to pass all of my classes. In-between all of that, I found such comfort in your voice and ability to be so compassionate. While doing HW, I couldn't stand sitting in silence because I would overthink and feel sad for the things I was battling emotionally everyday. But your videos gave me comfort in a way that it felt like a familiar friend was just talking to me and educating me about the things that goes on in this world. I listened intently and it helped me focus on my work while also learning about different cases. I enjoy your videos very much, thank you for doing what you do, you truly are there for all of us who find comfort in hearing your voice and showing kindness to everyone. Much love to you Danielle!
I love the way you tell these stories. You have such compassion for the victims. I've been brought to tears many times. I'm sorry this year was so hard for you. I hope 2024 is a great year for you and all of your supporters. Looking forward to the next video. Happy holidays!
Hi, Danielle! I'm Matt, I live in the US (the state of Illinois), and I love watching your true crime videos of murder cases. You do such a wonderful job in covering these stories; when you do your videos, I love your colorful creativity with your makeup. You always do an excellent job with that as well. I had never heard of this case until today, and I remember that the mid-'90s was when the Internet was in its infancy. You are right in your description about that: there was hardly any email, no cell phones, and online shopping, social media and a lot of other things we do today on the Internet were not yet around. Also, I remember that CDs and cassette tapes were the dominant formats of music (not many people had vinyl records or turntables anymore). The list could go on and on, but in general, the '90s was an era of simpler times. And of course, when the 2000s rolled around, the Internet was in full swing, and more people could do a lot more things online. Keep up the good work on your videos, and I wish you a happy and blessed 2024!! Peace, -Matt
Hey guys hit the "like" button for Danielle! I can't believe she hasn't reached a million subscribers. She is so compassionate and obviously cares deeply for the victims and their loved ones. Danielle is easily in my top 3 true crime RUclipsrs.
I really really appreciate how Danielle is putting so much work in her videos and somehow manages to make even the most disturbing cases somehow easy to watch, also I love that she's showing her actual feelings on the cases, I think it makes the videos feel more like a talk with a sister or a friend. I absolutely adore everything about this channel and wish Danielle only the best things, she's such a queen and deserves all the love and support in the world
I don’t want this to come off wrong because everyone absolutely deserves privacy in their personal lives, but as much as I love your videos, I would love to hear some personal stories as well! Even if it’s just silly surface stuff, it would be fun to get to know the person I watch videos from every few days. I’m sorry you had a hard year, I feel that. Honestly idk if I’ve commented before but the end of ur vid was the thing got me this time. There’s just something about when someone opens up and is vulnerable that makes them so relatable. Wish u all the best & happy holidays!
Gosh when you started crying I just wanted to crawl through the screen and hug you !! You are truly amazing , you’re surprised you’re at 900k meanwhile I’m Looking like how are you ONLY at 900k you deserve a billion . Stay strong beautiful, cheers to 2024🎉
oh damielle you’ve made me feel so old! people used to send either a cheque or money/postal order with their order by mail back in 1995 (postal orders etc were cleared funds as you had to buy them ) ❤❤
I remember when you were flipping out over 250k subscribers, now you're almost at a million! You deserve all the success, in a big sea of TC creators you stand out as the most thorough and compassionate. I wish you peace & happiness in the year to come. ❤
I cannot know what personal trials you’re facing from 2023. But I’m sending support to you through this thread. Stay stronger than your demons (or whatever manifestation of trouble you’re dealing with). Trust that we, your loyal followers and friends, are always here and happy to support you and your content! ❤❤
Had to jump on my phone while I listen/watch you on my TV to tell you how much I appreciate you!❤ You have me all choked up(video is ending now). I'm so sorry 2023 has been so hard for you. I'm sending you love, positive thoughts and a tight loving hug. Thank you for ALL the hard work you do in covering these cases. I have been watching for a LONG time and have had the worst years of my life since 2021. You have been there when I needed it most without even knowing it. Even though we have never met, listening to you(especially when TRYING to fall asleep) has made me feel like we are distant friends just having a chat. Like I'm not all alone. I hope 2024 is the best year for you, me and all your followers. Ps..I LOVE how you say "very"❤ I'm from the U.S. so me and my daughters(teens) sometimes repeat words you say because they are adorable! ❤❤❤ Happy Holidays Love!!
AWW, sweetie! I'm so sorry you have had a tough year. The past 7 years going on 8 of my life have been more challenging than I ever thought possible... It's hard to keep fighting through, but I'm here for you. We are all here for you. I love every single video you create, and WOW, girl purple is your color! Your eyes shine no matter what, but I just love that purple! Keep focusing on the good, and never change because you are a star 🌟 💜
Thank you for bringing to us this wonderful content. I am fascinated by true crime cases since I was 12 years old, now am 42. And you are one of the few RUclipsrs that I love when it comes to crime channels. You keep your listeners interested and have a special way of telling the cases you cover, you come across as a wonderful story teller, very empathetic, kind and genuine. Am sorry to hear that 2023 was a difficult year for you. Hope this year 2024 brings you happiness, peace, and blessings. Remember that you have built a wonderful channel with a huge audience, that is because you have worked hard consistently and because you have a lovely energy and light about you. All the best in this new year, I know am a total stranger, but I have followed you for approx 2 years and you make your followers familiar with you. Greetings from The Rock of Gibraltar 🇬🇮 ( most people don’t know where Gibraltar is) it’s a small British Overseas Territory peninsula in the northern tip of Spain just 33 thousand inhabitants and right across from Morocco by a small stretch of sea. From my tiny country I send you my warmest greetings and love ❤️ 😊
Danielle, I hope your family, friends and of course Daisy are okay. Anything else you're going through, I am sure you will figure out a way to overcome! You are an amazing human bean :). Just adore you! Wishing you a fantastic and a more peaceful 2024!
I found your channel during one of the worst parts of my life. I was so sick that I couldn't get out of bed or even think past the pain. Sick to the point that I called my parents up to visit me to say goodbye and make plans for my 9 year old when I was gone. I laid in bed and listened to podcasts and RUclips videos to escape a little. You have one of the sweetest voices and your videos were always comforting to listen to and I appreciate how considerate you are to the victims and their families. We found a surgery that made me mostly better, but when I think of the things I was grateful for during that time, I always wish people like you well and hope that your day and life are filled with blessings. I pray 2024 brings you all the happiness in the world. Much love from Colorado! You are an incredible person and I thank you for all you do!
ALSO - this year has been horrible for me, as well (lost my mom unexpectedly), and I look forward to your videos every Sunday, because it's something I can count on, right now, and even when you don't upload, you explaining that in the community tab is more than a lot of other creators would do. I am so sorry you're going through a difficult time, and I hope 2024 holds much nicer things, because you deserve it. Don't worry about us - you owe us nothing. WE'RE here for YOU.
Thank you for being vulnerable, Danielle! I had tears in my eyes at the end, as I can truly relate. I send you love and hope for a bright and positive year! ❤
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a rough go this past year. We’ve certainly all been there at one point or another. Anyway, I hope things work out OK and 2024 is a better year for you. We love you! All 900,000 of us! ❤
I found your channel a few months ago, and ever since that day I’ve been binge watching all your videos. I’m almost caught up with all the videos on your channel 😂 I watch your videos while I’m working from home or even getting ready. You have such a unique way of telling these stories and it’s incredibly entertaining to watch! Your personality shines through and your side commentary for some of these stories is hilarious lol. Sorry to hear this year has been tough for you, I hope next year will be amazing 🩷 Thank you for your hard work!
I’m so thankful for your content and sorry for a rough year. As someone who has been looking for better times for a year and a half now, I’m rooting for you. Sounds like a lot of other people are, too!
I was tearing up at the end before you started tearing up and then I started full out crying. I had a year like you’re describing, pretty much a little before Covid hit. I thought the world really was ending. But when life goes down it eventually comes back up. So happy for how many subscribers you have! I said a little prayer for you: I pray you have an amazing and blessed 2024! ❤❤❤
hey danielle! i have a case suggestion for you. it’s about a man named ‘Gareth Williams’. there are more questions than answers in this case but it’s one of those that just does not sit right with me and i’d love to hear you discuss it! 💗💗
Danielle, I have had a hard year as well. I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts and plans. It's been a year of struggling mentally and learning a lot about myself. One thing that I learned is that I am not alone in my struggles. It's easy to feel alone often. But just remember, you aren't alone and things will get better if you never give up. Anyways, cheers to a better year in 2024.
I hope you're doing better now, and on a path to healing. I've had a rough year, too. I was hospitalized in May and July for suicidal ideation and SH, and on Tuesday my doctors are admitting me to a long term psychiatric hospital for the same things (plus psychosis and general instability). I'll be there at least 3 months, and I'm not super excited about it. But hopefully it leads towards healing. Sending lots of good energy your way 💖
What an unbelievable case. Oh my!!! This is unbelievable that Robert got such a light sentence! But to hear he passed -well… And a twelve hour train ride when traveling long distances is common in US 😊 But I love taking the train to visit family a couple of thousand miles away from me. It’s cool. Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!🎉
Take care, Danielle. You are a lovely person who not just tells us about true crime. You tell them with so much care consideration for the victims. You give these people a chance for their stroy to be told, not just the evil perpetrators. Stay safe 🙏 ❤️
Just adding my voice to the chorus of viewers who’ve had a horrible year; your videos have really helped me get through sone difficult times. Thank you for everything you do!! 🙏
I wanted to say that I am so proud of you for overcoming the year, whatever obstacles you faced. For me, 2023 was a year to really focus on my mental health, and you were a major part of that, actually. On top of many other treatments I received, I began taking a medication in May for treatment-resistant depression which requires me to be monitored for 2 hours in the doctor’s office, weekly. While waiting for the 2 hours to pass, I spend that time watching your latest video of the week and it is a comfort to me and helps keep me grounded. The nurses who help me all know you now, haha. Thank you for being so dedicated with these videos. We love you. As for me, my mental health is much better than it was this time last year! May 2024 be an easier year for all of us! Hugs!
I spend my workdays with you! You tell these stories in such a fantastic format and really make my day that much brighter. Thank you for everything you do!
Thank you Danielle for all you do and the hard work you put in for us all. I tragically lost my fiancé this year and has it left me destroyed in ways I can’t begin to understand. What I do know is that you have kept me going. Watching your videos while pushing myself to get ready for work, you put my thoughts at ease even if it was for a short while. Your sweet nature is so greatly appreciated. As you can see, you are not alone. Wishing you all the peace and happiness you deserve this year. You are so loved. 💛
I'm usually a lurker, but I want to express how much I look forward to your videos. I love how empathetic you are to the victims. I sometimes find myself tearing up, too (I'm not crying, you're crying 🤦♀️). I appreciate how genuine you are, and how very humble you seem. You always seem so grateful for your sponsorship and truly thankful for your subscribers. I love it when you get a little snarky, too. You are so talented with your makeup, and I love how you match your nails (BTW, I got some Moon Cat polish through your link, and I love it)!. Knowing that you have a degree in criminal law gives your reporting on the cases much more depth and credibility. I hope that you have a beautiful and happy Christmas. Here's to a better 2024🍾🎉! I'll be 60 on the 27th, and I can't even believe it! Let's make it the best year! Manifesting that for you❤!
Danielle! We all appreciate you so much. You're such a hard worker. I'm so sorry you're struggling in your personal life. ❤❤ It makes me sad to see you cry. 😢
2023 has been a ROUGH year, but I am so glad that you have stuck it out! I only found your channel recently, but you bring a lot of integrity and talent to the world through your work. Take care of yourself, and here's to a better 2024!
I think you are right that accepting the idea of consensual murder is a VERY slippery slope. And while she left a quite a twisted digital trail, so did the murderer. I’d say he should have received more time, but he got a life sentence after all. See you in 2024 Danielle!
Danielle, 2023 has been my worst year ever as I lost both of my parents. I was blessed to be in the position to move back in with them to take care of them and your videos were one of the brighter spots in my week! You kept me sane and I am sorry you had a hard year also. 2024 has to be better!
last year was especially hard for some of us with incomparable loss and defeats, it seems as though you have experienced this too. thank you for pushing past and doing your thing, we appreciate you and your hard work very much. don't stop posting and primping!
I admire the way you're able to tell us these horrific events. This one was disturbing, but they were equally responsible and absolutely bonkers. Merry Christmas. Hope you have a lovely time with your loved ones.
🥺I’m so sorry to hear life has been getting you down. I look forward to watching your videos as much as you look forward to seeing our likes and comments. I truly hope this coming year is a better year for everyone.
This case has always been so fascinating and crazy to me! I haven't heard it in a while but I enjoyed your coverage. I truly hope things get better in your personal life! I only found your channel this year but have watched several videos and subscribed. I was quite addicted to Bailey Sarian's videos but not long after I subscribed her content focus shifted toward her Dark History series and the normal case coverage fell off a bit, no longer scratching my true crime itch the way it did when I discovered her. I still enjoy her content but you've kind of picked up where she left off. Anyway, enjoy your holidays! Love you, girl! 💜
Congratulations on breaking 900k! I predict 1 million before mid 2024! You are truly amazing! I am so sorry for your struggles. I am also going through a tough time. I feel you and support you. My prayers are with you. You are a very loving and compassionate soul. I know you’ll get through this. Much love your way ❤🙏
You're so impressive Danielle, the fact that you do everything on your channel entirely by yourself blows me away. (Especially your research, it is so thorough. I don't know where you find the time 🤯🤯🤯) Be sure to give yourself some mental and physical breaks though. I hope you have a lovely and relaxing Xmas, much much deserved.
@Daniellekirby my heart broke to hear that your year has been so tough. I really do hope that 2024 is a better year and you stay strong. Thank you for what you do, these videos are amazing.
Danielle, I'm so glad I discovered your channel this year! I've been binging your content on Spotify at work (my job is menial labour and I reeeeally need something interesting to listen to) and you've gotten me through some seriously unstimulating days 🙏 I'm a little picky with the true crime content creators I watch but I absolutely love your delivery of the stories with just the right balance of compassion and sass, plus your psychological insights are so appreciated! You are so enjoyable to listen to for hours, which I just can't say about every content creator here, so thank you for what you do!!

As a middle aged male, I am not your typical watcher. Once my teenage daughters saw your channel playing as I was working in the garage and pretty much flipped out. " Dad, why are you watching a girl put makeup on?" I told them I don't actually watch. I just listen to the cases that she presents each week. So keep up the good work...
I listen to these as I work so I completely relate
I’m here for the same reason! She tells some great stories and is very engaging, with or without makeup
Yes, my wife has asked before “who is that girl”, as she glances over at my phone over my shoulder.
Lies! You're here for contouring tips like the rest of us Dad...😂💛
I also listen while doing household chores. It really makes things less tedious. Thanks Danielle
"Is hard to imagine what the internet even looked like in those days..."
Wow. That hit me right in the old person bones
I felt the same way 😂
Same here
My poor dusty bones!!!
😂 that had me questioning her age for the first time ever. I'll be 35 on Wednesday and I remember those times 😅😭😂
My old arthritic bones also! I had the internet in 1997 in my home and I was the first in my neighborhood to have access to the internet so I am so surprised that somebody was already out there scamming and making money in 95!

“She described herself as 5”6 , 121 pounds”
*flashes picture of the woman on the screen*
“But that wasn’t true”
💀💀💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭
Online businesses…internet scams…catfishing. She truly was ahead of her time.
😂
Lmfao
Hearing you say consent can be withrdrawn at any time really made me happy to hear. I knew this already, but not a lot of people seem to believe that and think that if you said yes before, whether it be months before the act or seconds before, then you consented and it wasn't assault. I've been assaulted before. I was too afraid to take it to court because they'd see in messages I "consented" to SOME acts and I didn't want to be victim blamed by the courts when people I knew already victim blamed me enough.
I have adhd and you’re one of the few true crime channels that can keep my attention when telling a story. Love you Danielle!!! ❤
Funny you said this, cause I'm literally the same. I love true crime channels and have found my way to subscribing to a bunch, but Danielle (and her lovely accen) Bailey, Rachel Shannon and That Chapter are the only 4 I usually look out for new videos from
adhd girl here 🎉 same 🩷
I am the same way. Check out Stephanie Soo and Rotten Mango, you’ll enjoy her.
ADHD here also, it's very debilitating for me. But yes I'm never not focused on her when she tells stories . ❤
@@KallmeKate414 oh ya Rotten Mango is another good one, forgot about Rotten Mango some how aha
I was 13 in 1995 when the Internet started to become common. I remember all of the chat rooms and AOL. Everything was so archaic and finding information for school projects wasn't allowed because it wasn't considered a reliable source (not much has changed!).
But what I mostly remember are the pervs in those chat rooms and the pornography pop ups. My friends and I would flirt with strangers and say we were of age 🤦♀️A total predator paradise
Haha yes I was 12 and every chat room was a sex chat room. Minutes in someone would pop up and start, even when I stated I was 12! Paedo heaven as you said. Mum found out and was banned in our house, MSN obsession still prevailed tho but with friends only
Oh yeah totally. There was no control whatsoever and everything was unfiltered. It was also the time where you went online and your parents told you to be very careful who you talked to yet were totally OK with you giving your address out to penpals to write you letters or have someone call you on your landline 😂
I was 16 in 1995, and I don't remember anyone using the internet. lol My dad and stepmom had a computer. But all she ever did on it was play solitaire. lol My first internet experience came in 2001. I had an email. Then, I went into chat rooms on AOL and Yahoo. LOL But nothing outside of that. I can't believe this woman was ahead of her time and making money on the internet in 1995.
I met my groomer on a 1-900 chat line in January 1990... Pre net, at age 14. So dangerous. Awful time. Those perverts were usually deadly serious. I spent so many years in therapy after running away to meet that grown ass man. Now, I'm so careful with my son's Internet access. Because it's so much easier to access kids today 😢
@@GenXfrom75 I remember those chat lines. Crazy! I am sorry this happened to you. Was he held accountable?
7:43
They would mail in a check with a filled-out subscription slip. My mom did thst for me when I was a kid back with Nickelodeon magazine from decades ago. This is still how many publications are subscribed to, especially by older generations. I work at a newspaper and we regularly have people cut out subscription forms, fill them out, put that in an envelope with a check, and mail it to us. That is how we get both payment AND mailing info for sending out the paper! 😊
Yup! I was 25 in 1995. Send a check snail-mail
I guessed this and I’m kinda proud I got it right lol I was born in 2004 so I’m only a year older than Facebook
It’s dangerous to wade into assisted suicide. Human value is so low these days
Yeah just look at Canada they will give the go ahead just because people r alittle depressed to take their own life ur right life doesnt mean crap anymore and this country is leading the way up there Canada see s nothing wrong with this
That was the opposite of my experience with it. My family member fell and was badly injured at 100 years old last year. She was ready to go and in horrible pain, but the doctors wouldn't approve her because she wasn't 100% mentally stable enough by the time they came by.@@sharonrusso1191
My mom was killed in October of 2022 and your videos have been a huge part of getting through it all. Even when other crime channels are too much, I can always watch yours. Thank you for everything and I truly hope next year brings you the peace and happiness you deserve
So sorry for your loss. As someone who had parents killed, I’m so sorry for the pain you feel 😢
I’m terribly sorry for both of your losses, @pfcheather and @AveriesMiranda. 😔🙏🏻
I think the letter to her husband makes it pretty clear that she had no intent of making it out alive. The fact that she willingly entered that hovel of a trailer with this guy - well, she couldn't have thought for even a second that she was going to end up any other way. I think this was Sharon's ultimate f ewe to her family and religious upbringing. I think she knew that this would bring them shame and devastation within their community, and that was a big part of it. I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Sharon had been violently SA'd in her childhood.
That said, it's fitting that Robert never left prison. People like him don't need to be roaming around in society. As you said so well, we can't ever know if she consented to the end. Plus, anyone who would do this to another person is just plain dangerous.
Reminds me of the case of the cannibal in Germany. A person may be sick or desperate, but you don't have to play along with their sick wishes. If you enjoy this kind of stuff you are dangerous, consent or no
@@georgecyp.4581yeah that was exactly what I thought too. This case reminds me so much of the German case you mentioned.
absolutely 😒 there must have been some evil stuff with SA in her childhood, maybe even satanic ritual abuse & she just wanted out with a bang💥
Lmao you just made a bunch of bs s*** to blame her family for her behaviours and not her. She was an adult, far away from her family so all her decisions were hers and only hers to blame. Period.
@@georgecyp.4581nope that was consencual. There is a reason multiple people entered his home changed their minds and were free to go back home. He shouldn't be in prison as he is not dangerous to society.
I remember hearing this story with Bailey Sarian but I love hearing the same story with different ppl explain it bc everyone sees and says things so differently
i love it that Danielle is also a fan of Bailey and always shows her admiration. I'm glad we have both ladies in our lives. Happy New Year Everybody!
Dang that says a lot!! I started my true crime RUclips journey with BS and will always love her, but I don't remember her covering this case!! I love them both, but I think I've moved on from any BS true crime and have been focusing more on her dark history podcasts (which are fantastic).
I think that poor lady must have had some real mental health problems, In which case she most definitely did not consent x
Yes! Bailey is such an entertaining RUclipsr
I like Danielle much better. Don’t know why. Good vibes I guess I click with her more.
"You can't experience death because it's DEATH, and you'll be DEAD." 😂
Gosh, I love you, Danielle! 🥰
I loved that one too🤣LOL Danielle is awesome 👍👍🖤
Tell that to people who have had NDE's.
She ain’t wrong 🤣 love how matter of fact she can be
@@Crono1973 exactly what about those who have come close to it? What about those who have died and been resuscitated? It can happen.
No cuz I thought the same thing! She must’ve been suicidal or something. It makes no sense.
Aww Danielle, I'm sorry you had such a difficult year, it really resonates with me because this year was the hardest of my life (and i've had some pretty bad experiences. I cannot speak for the rest of your subscribers, i can only speak for myself when I say you are also important for me. you make me company while I'm alone cooking or cleaning. I really like how emotional you get with injustices and the horrors a person can do to another. Thanks for your content
@adosa2a15 I hope and will be praying that this year is much better and completely different for you. I understand.
Seeing Danielle tear up ALWAYS makes me tear up 🥺 She exudes so much light and positivity, I never want to see her hurting! ❤
Same!!!
Just wanted to say you got me through a breakup, a job loss, 18 months of chronic illness and a dementia diagnosis for my dad which also put a massive strain on my mum. 2023 did suck. But the end of 2023 is the light at the end of the tunnel. Your videos as a distraction I would say we're probably the best thing that got me through. So don't fret, you're always stronger than you think as long as you don't stray too far from the path. Thank you for all the work you put in. We all love your videos. (I think i may have watched them all now 😢)
I’m so sorry! Life really sucks sometimes! My Dad has Alzheimer’s & I know the nightmare that everything seems at times. My Mums pain from my Dads diagnosis & frustrations AND pain from caring for him at times is harder to handle than my Dad & his awful condition. My heart goes out to you.
I suffer from chronic pain & I know what you mean about Danielle! Watching her producing consistently great work despite her health & pain is truly inspirational! I can’t imagine living through a breakup AND dealing with everything. Bless your heart! I have my husband & my teenage (incredibly stressful, yet beloved & adored ❤) children to lean on!
I wish you all the best in the new year! Get out there into the world & have some fun. The world is full of awesome people. Have a great time getting to know some of them!
Sorry to hear all that you and your family have been thru this year. I hope 2024 has brighter things in store for you all. ❤
I truly hope things improve for you in 2024!! As someone who has also been through quite a lot your comment struck a chord with me. 😢
This too shall pass! ~ I’ve been keeping that in mind for about 13 years now 😂 Best wishes my friend 😘😘
Dementia sucks my mom had it and passed away on Nov 28 wishing the best for your dad
Sending hugs
I'm so sorry that things have been tumultuous for you this year, no one would ever know because you conduct yourself so professionally. I do my makeup everyday to your videos so we can get ready together:) I also have a quote hung up in my kitchen that reminds me of you, "look up, get up, show up, never give up" and that's exactly what you do, without fail! You are a beautiful individual inside and out, please keep the content coming, we all love it!!! Happy Christmas 🎄
That sentiment was beautifully put 😊
So sorry to hear that Danielle. You truly are a special lady. You conduct and tell all your videos with such care and respect. I honestly wish you lots of best wishes in all that you do in the future. You so deserve it. Sending you hugs and love, Jenna❤❤xx
Danielle!! We love you girl, your delivery is second to none. Whatever is going on in your personal life, I truly wish you well in 2024, and I am so thankful for you.
We appreciate Danielle's dedication and hard work on this channel. She's genuinely committed to her own career.
aren’t we all? rofl
don't be a Victoria Justice now lmao@@samanfersilyk
Hi Danielle ! I’m from the silent majority, but for once I’m early so I’m commenting. Thank you for your respect towards victims and always emphasizing the seriousness of the true crime topic. Recently I’ve been side eyeing some creators and the way they treat such serious tragedies, but I still like true crime content and your channel is an oasis. Love you ! (and your dog!)
I agree, I already knew this story but she narrated it very well. One point I think she missed tho: one that makes this story even more horrifying. The murderer promised Sharon that he would gonna shatter her body parts in the wilderness, or burn, I can't remember. But after she was dead, he DIDN'T. He buried her but that was not her wish. Which it looks like a minor thing, in such a terrible case, but it gives you the idea he was not respecting her in any way, nor followed her willings, maybe she asked to be not killed at the last moment, or maybe she wanted to eat or drink during those 3 days... he did just what HE wanted. He tricked her and the proof is that he did'nt respected her will to be disposed in a specific way. Poor Sharon.
I have a question...why should anyone cater to everyone sensibilities?
A person should be free to tell and express stories, the way they wish to....that's why we have varieties.
Go for what you want along with your side eyes.
Just saying
I appreciated reading what they added about the case, & why they added it; cuz they thought it was important since it shows that the defendant/killer/Robert didn’t respect every wish Sharon had expressed to him (like the defense had claimed.) & it does add quite substantial proof that he wasn’t some consent-following innocent person just going along with this woman’s fantasy. He was a sadist who used her & her mental illness to get off.
Just like you said people can tell a story however they want? Likewise, people can comment with their opinion. & at least they added something of value while also respecting Danielle’s version.
- to the person who added the part about Sharon’s after death wishes, thank you for sharing that. I agree that it is actually not a small thing at all & is an important piece of this case. & Danielle is the best! 🫶🏻💕
Hearing you say “try to imagine the internet in 1995” just highlights how far out of your demographic I am! I was in my mid 20s with two young children. I don’t have to imagine….I REMEMBER!😂😂❤❤ The best part was my Austin Powers…”you got mail, baby”🤣🤣😍😍
I’m 22, but honestly it seems like the internet was a lot more fun back in the day? Basic things and services were so much more customizable. Now the internet feels like all business! I can change the color for the search bar in my google account and whatnot, but there aren’t any fun animated things or cute little sounds that are easily available. Even cars are full of computer parts now and I just want a car with a CD player and a tape deck and no weird computerized systems past the dashboard lights- not because I want to be different of special but because I’m kind of terrified of the computerized pieces in my car malfunctioning. My second car (my first car got totaled when I got t boned lol) had an electronic issue and it was really dangerous at times. It was mostly due to someone putting the engine in weird after rebuilding it funny, but oh my god, feeling a car buck and having to turn it off and back on while driving until I could pull over to mess with the spark plugs was NOT fun. I love how much technology has allowed us to learn and get access to, but I wish it was more fun, and I wish there were options to leave a lot of it out of my car!!
😂😂😂 I think the younger gens think us GenX are a lot older than we are 😂
@Boing2699 I'm not sure it taking 5 minutes to connect or load a page was fun, and God forbid there was flash on the page (the fun little videos and sounds) because things timed out too quickly. The fact that I spent my vacation learning to code Javascript probably jaded me a bit, but what we did have were communities, with their own us and downs, drama as well as forming friendships with people we didn't have access to before the internet. I still talk to people I met in chat rooms way back when. There's good and bad no matter when you discovered tech and what it could mean for your life ❤
I was in my mid 20s with a young child in 1995 and can still hear the "you've got mail" vividly 😂😂😂I wonder what those that couldn't imagine "our" internet would do having to rely on phone books like the yellow pages and white pages😂😂
@jazzyjs lol I'm not sure they'd fully understand how to use the yellow or white pages, and OMG what do you mean public telephone... like random strangers used them and got germs on them? Lol
This case is beyond sad. Stumbled across your video because it was mentioned in a reddit comment and I wanted to know more.
I only see two people who were clearly not doing well mentally and that never got proper help. I did not expect all of this at the start.
I have clinical depression and your videos is something I do still look forward too. Especially when every day is hard to even get out of bed. Keep pushing girl.
SAME.
Pls take care of yourself. If you haven't tried counseling and medications pls think about it. I have/had suffered from depression and a combination of both have helped so much. People who have not had depression find it hard to understand why you can't just snap out of it. Please know I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. ❤
Sending hugs and prayers
You don’t have to live with “hard to get out of bed depression”. It’s incredibly hard. I believe that talking through what’s haunting my head, is vitally important. Therapy in is a great idea! I wish that I had taken my advise when I was younger. I’ve wasted so many years in pain. I wish I’d had the strength to force a change in my life, getting out-there into the world! Always seeking professional help & medications is a good start.
When I look at my life with depression I realise that my life was lacking in one of the areas that experts say are essential for ‘A happy life’, usually a close friend group, interests & activities etc. Mostly depression & relationship problems have gone hand in hand. I’m a person that needs to feel safe & secure to be happily content.
@@suzimonkey345 I do have a therapist. I have huge trust issues with the psychiatric field. The reason why look up Dr. Hyatt Springdale, Arkansas look at court cases he has over 50 Civil Court cases filed against him. The state has filed against him. He’s got a felony A and I’m one of his victims from seeking help because I tried to end my life a few years ago, it’s very difficult for me to trust after what I have live through with what he did to me and his staff and the hospital and within itself is why I come here to RUclips and watch Danielle. It helps. Keep my mind off of things.
This brings me back to the days when my mom was a aol chat host and was talking to so many guys. They were sending her all across the country on lavish trips and sending gifts to her and us. One guy was a Revlon rep and he sent her a huge box of their new makeup line. It's was crazy
Damn, she was way ahead of us all lol
I was like 13 when AOL started being a thing and this perspective is so crazy to me! Good on her for cashing in
Your mom was absolute slay tbh
You owe us nothing danielle!! We’re the blessed ones getting your true crime takes out here for FREEE🤯 in all seriousness, I adore you. you handle the cases with tact and I genuinely learn about the world, about safety and treating each other with respect through you
Same xx
I watch her videos since more than one year but I only recently noticed the note in her description about Bayley Sarian! I'm honestly stunned. Never saw such a humble and kind declaration of a youtuber to another. Now I love Danielle even more.
100%!!!
@@agostinodublino1387I can’t see any mention of Bailey in her description am I not looking in the right place ?

Gur-ross and a major EWW 😂😹🤣😹😂😂😂
We appreciate you honey. I started watching your videos when my 16yo daughter died and it's been a welcome distraction. It cuts both ways, you have helped us as much as we've helped you. You deserve success, you put your heart and soul into every video. Have a lovely Xmas and I hope next year will be better for you X 🤗

Thank you for making me feel quite old. “Try to imagine what it would have been like in 1995.” Girl I was 13 in 1995, I don’t have to imagine 🤣🤣🤣
I was right behind you at 11, but i'm over here going, "I was there, Danielle, I was there. No imagining needed."

Sweetie! I completely understand the sentiment. Thought last year was bad, but this one was here to prove us wrong. What you do is incredible, it really is. So many people share these stories online, but not like you do. Always remembering the victims, always considering the way they may have felt in the moment. That's what we can't forget and tend to get so numb to after hearing so many tragic stories retold. Seeing you break into tears hurts so much because I know how the internet can treat people who put themselves out there while you're just providing a safe place for likeminded people to come together and find each other. Of course I don't know even a little what you're actually going through personally, but I need to care. The same way you tell us to think about the victims in these retellings, there's a person behind the story and their pain is real. We are here for you.
You darling woman… I don’t know what you’ve been dealing with… but you help us through OUR days too!
For me… I’ll put a playlist on (because I watch all of your new videos within the first few hours of them being uploaded, lol) and I’ll do projects around my store, or home… you make the time fly by! I think your voice is one of my favorites of all of my RUclipsrs (you and Molly Westbrook ❤).
Please take this time to decompress, heal, laugh, relax, find a snuggle with a loved one or 2, and come back when you’re ready.
We’ll be here.
💞
I love that Danielle matches her colour of nails to her eyeshadows. I legit look at Danielles nails in every video and know what the colour of eyeshadow she’ll be going for. Genuinely adorable 💅🏼💜
Omg I do the same thing
I never noticed
Danielle's make up is amazinggggg... i tried and looked like the Adam's family lool.. Danielle is truely talented.
Honestly, it sounds like she started the chats initially as a scam and to mess with people, because it's one of those things people don't talk about, so there's going to be a natural curiosity to it. At some point along the way, she found most of it to be tame and actually started getting some enjoyment out of it beyond just messing with people. To the point of wanting to experience it.
Kinda like "fake it till you make it", but it's "you've pretended this role so long, you can no longer distinguish yourself from it" to an extreme.
Hi Danielle! Danielle here, I'm so sorry you've had a tough go of it. I truly hope 2024 is a wonderful year for you. We love you! Thank you for your content. ❤
Thank you for speaking of the difference between this and assisted suicide. It is a completely different situation and I was worried there wouldn't be a distinction.
Interesting fact. I live in the only state has no problem with assisted suicide. Now they call it "pain management" but it still is an assisted suicide regardless of whether a doctor or family member increases the morphine
@@katmarieHTD4LIFEwhat state is that? So I can avoid it.
@@fabh9674 ...avoid it? it's unlikely you'll ever end up needing assisted suicide, but acting like it's a bad thing is horrible.
@@alicenthightower9161 it is a bad thing.
@fabh9674 genuine question, why does the thought of a terminally ill person ending their own suffering, or even preventing their own suffering before it starts, such a bad thing? Would you rather they do something violent to themselves like a traditional suicide rather than pass very peacefully? Or just suffer for the sake of their families to have delayed, inevitable grieving?
When i was a teenager buying goth magazines from New York online we used money orders. It was a risk, but you went through certain websites. If those websites found out they were scamming they would basically get word out that those people were untouchable in the scene. Nobody would do business with them.
I remember the days of money orders and international reply coupons! I bought pagan magazines and books that way. It feels like eons ago, it sometimes staggers me how much has changed.
Hey beautiful Danielle, thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us these crazy stories. I appreciate you so much. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and may this new year be a bright loving one. ❤️
Or you put money into an envelope and sent it to the address, and then they send the product back 🫶🫡
Or we would send a personal check and get the product. That way there was a paper trail if it was cashed and we didn’t get the item which was rare back in the day
Checks. Checks drawn on a checking account. You put them in an envelope, put a stamp on it and mailed the check. Once the check was received and it cleared the bank whatever you ordered was mailed to you. Common turnaround time was 4-6 weeks to receive the product.
Thank you for what you do Danielle! I'm a terminal cancer patient and I still work full time. When I get home I lay in bed and listen to your videos and it just chills me out. It's crazy how much we all rely on each other... we rely on you to give us something to hear and learn about and you rely on us to give you something to work toward. I appreciate and love you! From Memphis TN all the way to the UK ❤❤❤

Yes, we're well behind the rest of the world with our rail service. The car (really the SUV, oversized pickup, etc.) rules America, and we're lucky to have passenger trains at all.
"It's that little souvenir of a terrible year...." It's been rough all over. Your videos have been a constant for me. You've gone deep into some very disturbing stories for us, and I appreciate your hard work and human compassion. Here's to a better new year.
This video is the first time I felt SUBSTANTIALLY older than Danielle…😂 I remember aol messenger, when she said “surely there was no PayPal?” I died lmao
Same I feel so old. I remember before the internet
Same. Im 35...now I feel 53 lol
@@JulezwithTrueCrimeReactions I'm 51 and I remember when the Internet opened to the public in '91😂😂😂
The first time I went on the Internet I was 17. They told us we can just ask anything and we kind of sat there not knowing what to ask 😅
haha, same. But doesn't that make her a beautiful old soul? The fact that she can relate to us so well as such a young person?
It became shockingly clear how large our age gap was when you said you can’t imagine what the internet looked like and I can vividly remember having been there. lol.
Same!
Yep! 😂
Yep, me too! 😂😂😂😭

Samee 😢😅
Hi Danielle,
It breaks my heart to hear that it’s been such a difficult year for you. I’m sure I speak for al lot of your viewers when I say that you’ve also helped us get through the tough times with your videos (and podcast), and I’m glad your viewers have been able to help you get through. Sending all the love and prayers that 2024 will be a much better year for you. We love you! Merry Christmas. x
Wholeheartedly agree!
8:00 I'm assuming check by mail?
When danielle tears up it really does something to me! You can just tell she is genuine ❤ love you girl!
Someone who wants to be murdered (in the way Sharon wanted to be murdered, no less) is MENTALLY ILL. 5150! We wouldn’t let someone jump off a bridge to their death without trying to talk them down or grab them, would we? Sharon’s bridge was…unconventional…but suicidal nonetheless.
Thank you for sharing this case (and for sharing your heart about your personal life. ❤) I look forward to Sundays ☀️ I hope you have a restful next few weeks and see you in 2024! MUCH LOVE TO YOU, DANIELLE!
100% !!!! Any other mentally stable person would have snapped out of this crazy idea.
That thought was in my head quite a bit. If she'd let someone know outside of the "relationship" they had, she'd have been 5150'd and given proper care. I don't yuck on another person's yum, but this is beyond the pale.
@squeakybgaming people did try to talk her out of it when realizing she was serious on the forums but she insisted they leave her alone & only contact her if they’re serious etc they even told her where to reach out for help, it’s sad we won’t ever know if she changed her mind or what lead her to such sick desires & wanting to die in such a horrifying painful way. sad for her husband to think about how if he’d found that note sooner the police could’ve saved her, as well as if the police didn’t just watch his house for 3 whole days after she’d left over a week ago at that point. ugh so easily preventable on law enforcements part & the creep, but also her being so suicidal the 12hr train ride seemingly didn’t snap her out of it, being at his house assumably didnt, but we won’t ever know if she truly did change her mind or want it to stop. it’s hard to feel for her when she saved, shared, and sold videos of women being brutally raped, but at the same time she was so sick in the head she may have not actually enjoyed that stuff in reality. ugh it’s super conflicting emotionally
I have to admit i avoided your channel for awhile when it was recommended to me. I dont usually like the makeup + true crime combo channels but im SO glad i finally checked yours out. Its kind of relaxing to watch you do your makeup throughout but the focus is 100% on the case. You do a respectful, thorough job on all your videos (ive binged a ton now! 😅) and its super impressive.
Hi Daniella, I recommend the case of Josef Fritzul. This man lured his daughter into the basement of his house where he kept her captive, sexually abused her and they actually had several children. There is a movie called ‘The Girl In The Basement’ which is about this. Apparently one of them unfortunately passed away, I’ve seen a lot of media cover but I would love to hear you tell us this story…
Yes that’s such a crazy story. I think Simon Whistler did a video on him
I’m from Austria and they are thinking about letting him out of jail. I hope it doesn’t happen, because a monster like that will never change and is a danger to society and children. Austrian "prisons" are way to nice anyway.
@@LeoniSchmidt-zt4yo let him go why??? That’s crazy!!!
It’s a movie about this actually
This is SUPER random, but it's about you, so here goes. I was on Amazon looking for winter gloves earlier. This one pair I looked at had finger pads that allowed you to scroll on your phone. The video attached to the product listing shows a girl wearing the gloves open her phone, click on RUclips, and BOOM! there was your face! You were apparently in her suggested videos! (Probably because she watches you!) I thought it was cool, and wanted to tell you! Love your content, you are an amazing story teller! ❤
Danielle, I don't think you realise how much you keep us going too. For so many of us, your videos will be the highlight of our week. Thank you so much for the work you do, not only giving a voice to these victims, but also giving us something to look forward to each week ❤
I have really bad mental health issues and your videos bring me so much joy and peace. You have no idea how much you're helping. I love you too
This was a crazy, sick case.
Also, people of smaller countries don't always think about how large the US is. 12 hours is still a long train ride. It takes like a week to drive from West Coast to East Coast. Taking a train can take longer but is cheaper than driving.
it has been a hard year for libras (rising including), but you're such a magnificent force that's hard to find these days. thank you for always delivering your videos with clarity, insight, and fabulous color palettes each Sunday. cheers to you! stay warm :)
interesting, the libras in my life have been crushing it.
I don't know if it actually includes the murder, but she was definitely into it, up until that point. She chased that fantasy way too hard for it to be a grift.
I think she was into it, and probably was trying to escape her old life with this guy. But, like Danelle said you cannot consent to murder. This case reminds me a lot of the case of Natalie Bollinger. I said something smiler in the comments of Rob Dyke’s video on her case. And everyone, including Shawn Schwartz (which I’m not saying what the POLICE did to him was right) got in a full on meltdown argument about it towards me. It’s like, “dude, this is murder. It’s not ever okay” Some people are very lost and mentally ill, and sometimes they encounter messed up people. That doesn’t ever make it excusable.
Danelle should totally do the case of NB.
Wasn’t there a case in Germany like this? Except with cannibalism
@@SamtheMan3014 Ah yes, Armin Meiwes (sorry if I spelled it wrong). He actually cut off the victim's... male's area of interest and ate it together and he died from the injuries. He's become a vegetarian ever since, apparently.
@@JarlBalgruff_bwahahaha. I didnt hear about the vegetarian bit..... sounds like a way to try and shorten your sentence/be paroled.
There was another creepy, nerdy, Japanese man who cannibalised a woman ending in her death. A very unwilling victim.
He served very little jail time (rich family) and is now a weird celebrity, who has put out cannibal cook books.
Weird fkn world
@@RamdomManeGenerator100% agreed with you. She probably has some illnes and toxically meshed with the fetish. That applies to both if them btw. To me, her actions sound like an obsession.
Awe Daniel I’m sorry 2023 didn’t go well for sweetie, but just know you are loved and admired by myself and my daughters that love to watch your true crime videos.
We appreciate your hard work and never miss a video. We sincerely send you our best wishes and may the New Year 2024 bring you joy and happiness 💞🥰🫶🏼
Virtual hugs going to you. ☺️
What a sweet sweet comment 💜 she’s admired & loved by me too ☺️
And me! @@marielamiranda3066
I also hope you know how much you help us get through in life. Personally, when my mind is clouded with negativity or I’m feeling lonely (now that I live further away from friends and family), I just pop on one of your videos and immerse myself in the story. Thank you for being here. Thank you for all your hard work. You truly don’t know the difference you make🖤
I'm usually never in the comments, but I wanted to take the time to say that your channel is one of the few where I look forward to watching every upload. Whatever it is going on in your personal life, just know that you're surrounded with countless people (even us strangers) who care about you! I hope next year brings you plenty of good fortune and joy. You're stronger than you know! xx
Its been such a difficult year for me as well, going through a breakup, battling chronic anxiety, and trying to pass all of my classes. In-between all of that, I found such comfort in your voice and ability to be so compassionate. While doing HW, I couldn't stand sitting in silence because I would overthink and feel sad for the things I was battling emotionally everyday. But your videos gave me comfort in a way that it felt like a familiar friend was just talking to me and educating me about the things that goes on in this world. I listened intently and it helped me focus on my work while also learning about different cases. I enjoy your videos very much, thank you for doing what you do, you truly are there for all of us who find comfort in hearing your voice and showing kindness to everyone. Much love to you Danielle!
I love the way you tell these stories. You have such compassion for the victims. I've been brought to tears many times. I'm sorry this year was so hard for you. I hope 2024 is a great year for you and all of your supporters. Looking forward to the next video. Happy holidays!
Hi, Danielle!
I'm Matt, I live in the US (the state of Illinois), and I love watching your true crime videos of murder cases. You do such a wonderful job in covering these stories; when you do your videos, I love your colorful creativity with your makeup. You always do an excellent job with that as well. I had never heard of this case until today, and I remember that the mid-'90s was when the Internet was in its infancy. You are right in your description about that:
there was hardly any email, no cell phones, and online shopping, social media and a lot of other things we do today on the Internet were not yet around. Also, I remember that CDs and cassette tapes were the dominant formats of music (not many people had vinyl records or turntables anymore). The list could go on and on, but in general, the '90s was an era of simpler times. And of course, when the 2000s rolled around, the Internet was in full swing, and more people could do a lot more things online. Keep up the good work on your videos, and I wish you a happy and blessed 2024!!
Peace,
-Matt
Listening from Illinois as well. 😊
As what a lovely comment
Also from Illinois! High five! (And I remember being VERY young...too young for the AOL chatrooms I was in, back then, lol )
Hey guys hit the "like" button for Danielle! I can't believe she hasn't reached a million subscribers. She is so compassionate and obviously cares deeply for the victims and their loved ones. Danielle is easily in my top 3 true crime RUclipsrs.
She will. Before 2024 ends she will
She is my number 1 favorite true crime RUclipsr and I can totally agree.
Who are your other favourite true crime youtubers? My top 3 are (in no particular order) Danielle, Bailey Sarian and Eleanor Neale.
I really really appreciate how Danielle is putting so much work in her videos and somehow manages to make even the most disturbing cases somehow easy to watch, also I love that she's showing her actual feelings on the cases, I think it makes the videos feel more like a talk with a sister or a friend. I absolutely adore everything about this channel and wish Danielle only the best things, she's such a queen and deserves all the love and support in the world
Just one of the reasons I watch her videos multiple times 😂❤
I don’t want this to come off wrong because everyone absolutely deserves privacy in their personal lives, but as much as I love your videos, I would love to hear some personal stories as well! Even if it’s just silly surface stuff, it would be fun to get to know the person I watch videos from every few days. I’m sorry you had a hard year, I feel that. Honestly idk if I’ve commented before but the end of ur vid was the thing got me this time. There’s just something about when someone opens up and is vulnerable that makes them so relatable. Wish u all the best & happy holidays!
I agree be great to know a little more about her
Gosh when you started crying I just wanted to crawl through the screen and hug you !! You are truly amazing , you’re surprised you’re at 900k meanwhile I’m
Looking like how are you ONLY at 900k you deserve a billion . Stay strong beautiful, cheers to 2024🎉
oh damielle you’ve made me feel so old! people used to send either a cheque or money/postal order with their order by mail back in 1995 (postal orders etc were cleared funds as you had to buy them ) ❤❤
Same
I remember when you were flipping out over 250k subscribers, now you're almost at a million! You deserve all the success, in a big sea of TC creators you stand out as the most thorough and compassionate. I wish you peace & happiness in the year to come. ❤
I cannot know what personal trials you’re facing from 2023. But I’m sending support to you through this thread. Stay stronger than your demons (or whatever manifestation of trouble you’re dealing with). Trust that we, your loyal followers and friends, are always here and happy to support you and your content! ❤❤
7:55 you would send a check or postal order to the address provided and you will get the magazine/catalogue via post.
Had to jump on my phone while I listen/watch you on my TV to tell you how much I appreciate you!❤ You have me all choked up(video is ending now).
I'm so sorry 2023 has been so hard for you. I'm sending you love, positive thoughts and a tight loving hug. Thank you for ALL the hard work you do in covering these cases. I have been watching for a LONG time and have had the worst years of my life since 2021. You have been there when I needed it most without even knowing it. Even though we have never met, listening to you(especially when TRYING to fall asleep) has made me feel like we are distant friends just having a chat. Like I'm not all alone. I hope 2024 is the best year for you, me and all your followers.
Ps..I LOVE how you say "very"❤ I'm from the U.S. so me and my daughters(teens) sometimes repeat words you say because they are adorable! ❤❤❤ Happy Holidays Love!!
You can cry girl... I'm crying with you. It was a damn hard year. Here's to only GREAT things !!!!!!!!!!
💯❤️💯❤️💯
AWW, sweetie! I'm so sorry you have had a tough year. The past 7 years going on 8 of my life have been more challenging than I ever thought possible... It's hard to keep fighting through, but I'm here for you. We are all here for you. I love every single video you create, and WOW, girl purple is your color! Your eyes shine no matter what, but I just love that purple! Keep focusing on the good, and never change because you are a star 🌟 💜
YES SHE IS A STAR! 🎉
Thank you for bringing to us this wonderful content. I am fascinated by true crime cases since I was 12 years old, now am 42. And you are one of the few RUclipsrs that I love when it comes to crime channels. You keep your listeners interested and have a special way of telling the cases you cover, you come across as a wonderful story teller, very empathetic, kind and genuine. Am sorry to hear that 2023 was a difficult year for you. Hope this year 2024 brings you happiness, peace, and blessings.
Remember that you have built a wonderful channel with a huge audience, that is because you have worked hard consistently and because you have a lovely energy and light about you.
All the best in this new year, I know am a total stranger, but I have followed you for approx 2 years and you make your followers familiar with you. Greetings from The Rock of Gibraltar 🇬🇮 ( most people don’t know where Gibraltar is) it’s a small British Overseas Territory peninsula in the northern tip of Spain just 33 thousand inhabitants and right across from Morocco by a small stretch of sea. From my tiny country I send you my warmest greetings and love ❤️ 😊
What’s it like to live in Gibraltar ?
Danielle, I hope your family, friends and of course Daisy are okay. Anything else you're going through, I am sure you will figure out a way to overcome! You are an amazing human bean :). Just adore you! Wishing you a fantastic and a more peaceful 2024!
I found your channel during one of the worst parts of my life. I was so sick that I couldn't get out of bed or even think past the pain. Sick to the point that I called my parents up to visit me to say goodbye and make plans for my 9 year old when I was gone. I laid in bed and listened to podcasts and RUclips videos to escape a little. You have one of the sweetest voices and your videos were always comforting to listen to and I appreciate how considerate you are to the victims and their families. We found a surgery that made me mostly better, but when I think of the things I was grateful for during that time, I always wish people like you well and hope that your day and life are filled with blessings. I pray 2024 brings you all the happiness in the world. Much love from Colorado! You are an incredible person and I thank you for all you do!
Hey! I'm glad you're doing better. Stay strong :D. I agree, Danielle is a kindred soul in all the negativity the internet exudes.
@@JarlBalgruff_ thanks! And she is just an incredible storyteller and human. Lol I'm glad to exist at the same point in history as her
So glad to hear you’re doing better! Keep fighting! I wish you nothing but strength and happiness for you and your little one for the new year ❤
@@morganl6129 thank you and same to you!
I'm so happy you found relief! Hope next year is better
ALSO - this year has been horrible for me, as well (lost my mom unexpectedly), and I look forward to your videos every Sunday, because it's something I can count on, right now, and even when you don't upload, you explaining that in the community tab is more than a lot of other creators would do. I am so sorry you're going through a difficult time, and I hope 2024 holds much nicer things, because you deserve it. Don't worry about us - you owe us nothing. WE'RE here for YOU.
I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom unexpectedly in 2020, I truly understand and feel your pain. You have my sincere sympathy 🖤
I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
I appreciate it, and I would like to extend my condolences, as well. It's so difficult.@@melissamoonchild9216
Thank you - I appreciate it.@@The-Janie-Jones
I’m so sorry for your loss. May your Mom Rest In Beautiful Peace
Thank you for being vulnerable, Danielle! I had tears in my eyes at the end, as I can truly relate. I send you love and hope for a bright and positive year! ❤
Cod - cash on delivery
Was one option.
Send a check before delivery was another option
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a rough go this past year. We’ve certainly all been there at one point or another. Anyway, I hope things work out OK and 2024 is a better year for you. We love you! All 900,000 of us! ❤
I found your channel a few months ago, and ever since that day I’ve been binge watching all your videos. I’m almost caught up with all the videos on your channel 😂 I watch your videos while I’m working from home or even getting ready. You have such a unique way of telling these stories and it’s incredibly entertaining to watch! Your personality shines through and your side commentary for some of these stories is hilarious lol. Sorry to hear this year has been tough for you, I hope next year will be amazing 🩷 Thank you for your hard work!
I could have written this! Same!
Same for me too❤❤❤❤
I’m so thankful for your content and sorry for a rough year. As someone who has been looking for better times for a year and a half now, I’m rooting for you. Sounds like a lot of other people are, too!
I was tearing up at the end before you started tearing up and then I started full out crying. I had a year like you’re describing, pretty much a little before Covid hit. I thought the world really was ending. But when life goes down it eventually comes back up. So happy for how many subscribers you have! I said a little prayer for you: I pray you have an amazing and blessed 2024! ❤❤❤
hey danielle! i have a case suggestion for you. it’s about a man named ‘Gareth Williams’. there are more questions than answers in this case but it’s one of those that just does not sit right with me and i’d love to hear you discuss it! 💗💗
Danielle, I have had a hard year as well. I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts and plans. It's been a year of struggling mentally and learning a lot about myself. One thing that I learned is that I am not alone in my struggles. It's easy to feel alone often. But just remember, you aren't alone and things will get better if you never give up. Anyways, cheers to a better year in 2024.
I hope you're doing better now, and on a path to healing.
I've had a rough year, too. I was hospitalized in May and July for suicidal ideation and SH, and on Tuesday my doctors are admitting me to a long term psychiatric hospital for the same things (plus psychosis and general instability). I'll be there at least 3 months, and I'm not super excited about it. But hopefully it leads towards healing.
Sending lots of good energy your way 💖
I hope you're doing well, I'm glad you know you're not alone. Stay strong my friend, you matter and your life matters. I'm glad you're still here ❤️
What an unbelievable case. Oh my!!! This is unbelievable that Robert got such a light sentence! But to hear he passed -well…
And a twelve hour train ride when traveling long distances is common in US 😊 But I love taking the train to visit family a couple of thousand miles away from me. It’s cool. Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!🎉
Take care, Danielle. You are a lovely person who not just tells us about true crime. You tell them with so much care consideration for the victims. You give these people a chance for their stroy to be told, not just the evil perpetrators.
Stay safe 🙏 ❤️
Same, she is so good at telling the story and providing all the intricate details.
Just adding my voice to the chorus of viewers who’ve had a horrible year; your videos have really helped me get through sone difficult times. Thank you for everything you do!! 🙏
I wanted to say that I am so proud of you for overcoming the year, whatever obstacles you faced. For me, 2023 was a year to really focus on my mental health, and you were a major part of that, actually. On top of many other treatments I received, I began taking a medication in May for treatment-resistant depression which requires me to be monitored for 2 hours in the doctor’s office, weekly. While waiting for the 2 hours to pass, I spend that time watching your latest video of the week and it is a comfort to me and helps keep me grounded. The nurses who help me all know you now, haha. Thank you for being so dedicated with these videos. We love you. As for me, my mental health is much better than it was this time last year! May 2024 be an easier year for all of us! Hugs!
I spend my workdays with you! You tell these stories in such a fantastic format and really make my day that much brighter. Thank you for everything you do!
Thank you Danielle for all you do and the hard work you put in for us all. I tragically lost my fiancé this year and has it left me destroyed in ways I can’t begin to understand. What I do know is that you have kept me going. Watching your videos while pushing myself to get ready for work, you put my thoughts at ease even if it was for a short while. Your sweet nature is so greatly appreciated. As you can see, you are not alone. Wishing you all the peace and happiness you deserve this year. You are so loved. 💛
Danielle, please do a deep dive on a place I used to work at called Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida. It has a terribly dark history ❤
Omg yes! Absolutely horrible.
I'm usually a lurker, but I want to express how much I look forward to your videos. I love how empathetic you are to the victims. I sometimes find myself tearing up, too (I'm not crying, you're crying 🤦♀️). I appreciate how genuine you are, and how very humble you seem. You always seem so grateful for your sponsorship and truly thankful for your subscribers. I love it when you get a little snarky, too. You are so talented with your makeup, and I love how you match your nails (BTW, I got some Moon Cat polish through your link, and I love it)!.
Knowing that you have a degree in criminal law gives your reporting on the cases much more depth and credibility.
I hope that you have a beautiful and happy Christmas. Here's to a better 2024🍾🎉! I'll be 60 on the 27th, and I can't even believe it! Let's make it the best year! Manifesting that for you❤!
Happy early birthday 😊
Happy birthday!
happy birthday!
Danielle! We all appreciate you so much. You're such a hard worker. I'm so sorry you're struggling in your personal life. ❤❤ It makes me sad to see you cry. 😢
2023 has been a ROUGH year, but I am so glad that you have stuck it out! I only found your channel recently, but you bring a lot of integrity and talent to the world through your work. Take care of yourself, and here's to a better 2024!
I think you are right that accepting the idea of consensual murder is a VERY slippery slope. And while she left a quite a twisted digital trail, so did the murderer. I’d say he should have received more time, but he got a life sentence after all.
See you in 2024 Danielle!
Did you mean 2024?
@@fabh9674 Thank you. Yes 2024! 🍾🥂
Danielle, 2023 has been my worst year ever as I lost both of my parents. I was blessed to be in the position to move back in with them to take care of them and your videos were one of the brighter spots in my week! You kept me sane and I am sorry you had a hard year also. 2024 has to be better!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your parents. May they Rest In Beautiful Peace
@@lynnsmith3112 thank you!
last year was especially hard for some of us with incomparable loss and defeats, it seems as though you have experienced this too. thank you for pushing past and doing your thing, we appreciate you and your hard work very much. don't stop posting and primping!
I admire the way you're able to tell us these horrific events. This one was disturbing, but they were equally responsible and absolutely bonkers. Merry Christmas. Hope you have a lovely time with your loved ones.
🥺I’m so sorry to hear life has been getting you down. I look forward to watching your videos as much as you look forward to seeing our likes and comments. I truly hope this coming year is a better year for everyone.
This case has always been so fascinating and crazy to me! I haven't heard it in a while but I enjoyed your coverage. I truly hope things get better in your personal life! I only found your channel this year but have watched several videos and subscribed. I was quite addicted to Bailey Sarian's videos but not long after I subscribed her content focus shifted toward her Dark History series and the normal case coverage fell off a bit, no longer scratching my true crime itch the way it did when I discovered her. I still enjoy her content but you've kind of picked up where she left off. Anyway, enjoy your holidays! Love you, girl! 💜
You are my favorite. No ridicule, no digress, no bias and straight to the point. I love you Danielle!
Congratulations on breaking 900k! I predict 1 million before mid 2024! You are truly amazing! I am so sorry for your struggles. I am also going through a tough time. I feel you and support you. My prayers are with you. You are a very loving and compassionate soul. I know you’ll get through this. Much love your way ❤🙏
You're so impressive Danielle, the fact that you do everything on your channel entirely by yourself blows me away. (Especially your research, it is so thorough. I don't know where you find the time 🤯🤯🤯) Be sure to give yourself some mental and physical breaks though. I hope you have a lovely and relaxing Xmas, much much deserved.
@Daniellekirby my heart broke to hear that your year has been so tough. I really do hope that 2024 is a better year and you stay strong. Thank you for what you do, these videos are amazing.
Danielle, I'm so glad I discovered your channel this year! I've been binging your content on Spotify at work (my job is menial labour and I reeeeally need something interesting to listen to) and you've gotten me through some seriously unstimulating days 🙏 I'm a little picky with the true crime content creators I watch but I absolutely love your delivery of the stories with just the right balance of compassion and sass, plus your psychological insights are so appreciated! You are so enjoyable to listen to for hours, which I just can't say about every content creator here, so thank you for what you do!!
