Her sister's words as spoken by the murder victim tell such a sad story. The monster that killed her went on with his life like nothing happened but for Shelley's family everything fell apart. At least Shelley and her husband are together again. Condolences to her family in the US and Europe.
That letter written from Shelly's POV on all the things she missed after passing just absolutely broke me 💔 Rest peacefully, Shelly, your beautiful soul won't be forgotten. I'm disgusted that you met such a horrible end.
That victim impact statement was beautiful, it was beautifully written and read. What a sad story. God bless her, her children and her family. Prayers for all.
I’m from Bristol and was in my early teens when Shelley was murdered , this bought back so many memories of her case . Absolutely tragic that nobody has been held to account. RIP 🕊️🌈
One selfish, nasty act like this ruins numerous lives! Why, can't people keep their hands to themselves??! No one has a right to hurt anyone else for any reason. There is no excuse! None. RIP ❤
I can't think of any other channel that goes deeper into every aspect , detail & fact of a case than DC does . Thank you for your hard work and the benefit we get from it ... Your accent gives the narration an extra nice flavor to the story .. I wish we Americans had a cool accent ...
There are so many monsters that hide in plain sight among us. These cowardly predators prey on the weak and vulnerable. I hope that they catch this one and punish him severely. It should go without being said but take care and stay vigilant. Protect yourself and your loved ones. RIP Shelley.
Someone help me out. What is the significance of the post cards and how does it help solve this murder. Thank you Dark Curiosities for your help in helping the gone but not forgotten. 💕
I would think that maybe a known suspect worked for the print shop or was the printer of the calendars made for the hospice and they want to test them? They mentioned advanced scientific forensics. I can’t see any other link. Not sure why they can’t use forensic genealogy though, unless he was cremated and has no living relatives. Someone might come up with a better suggestion!
Are we to assume that the photos in the postcards were taken by Shelley on that fateful day of her murder? That the sicko developed the pictures in her camera and sold them for his/her financial gain? If so, that is very creepy and just sends chills up the spine. Rest in Peace Shelley and bless her family and friends.
@@eadweard. That's why its a theory. Shelley was in that area on the day she murdered. The postcards are photos and Shelley was a photographer. Why else were they presented as items of interest. There is a lot that police departments do not let out to the public. We do not know what they know.
I thought maybe someone sent the postcards to a newspaper or to a relative of Shelly's and claimed to know something? If so, they might avoid showing the handwriting so the killer wouldn't recognize it.
The postcards show Autumnal scenes and the murder was in June. Read about the murder of Lindsay Rimer in 1994. A reel of undeveloped 35mm film was found in her room. When it was developed it had pictures of people that were unidentified !
Thank you DC for another episode done with humanity and sensitivity. I feel deeply for Liam, Charlotte & Shelley’s sister. I can only hope the theory of the postcards pans out. The man that assaulted and killed Shelley certainly has other victims.
I had heard of her case. But never knew this in depth about her life outside of her case. It's beautiful that you're able to find this information and show that she was more than just a victim but a person with a life and a family. I hope her family can find healing and peace after all these years now that they know more. ♥ RIP Shelly.
Awww that victim impact statement just made me cry especially because I'm 33 in June with a daughter and son it's not fair her life was taken when she had do much to live for and what sounded like a lovely life and her poor family never got the answer they needed. I'm happy they found her so they atleast got to lay her to rest but it's not enough 😢
I've got many camera's and lenses out of my late Dads possessions as he was a press photographer but also collected camera equipment. We are in Worcestershire. I will definitely be looking at the cameras I have kept. What a sad case. ❤
Oh my God. I'm just crying uncontrollably. Her sisters words for her murdered sister are so emotional and I hope someday someone can say those when they catch the monster who killed her.
Dark Curiosities: Could you do an episode on the bizarre disappearance of Margaret Ellen Fox? I'm not sure if you've already covered her case. She was a 14-year-old girl from Burlington, New Jersey who vanished on June 24, 1974 after applying to a (probably fake) newspaper advertisement for a local babysitting job. She supposedly got off a city bus to meet the person she'd be babysitting for, and was never seen again. Thank you for bringing these stories to light! These cases are so heartbreaking for all the families and friends of the missing/deceased person!
Why on earth do people make prank phone calls in these cases? Something dreadful has happened. What kind of ego does it take to have to insert yourself into an investigation, possibly divert it from more productive actions, just to satisfy your pervy need for attention?
She achieved and did so much in her 33 yrs that so many dream of doing and you get a feeling she would have done so much more but that was taken from her cruelly. What an inspiring woman.
I lived one door down from where they lived in bristol, Charlotte was amazing sadly we lost contact but often think about the family. I will never forget the day Shelly disapeared 😔
The police have said they are holding back further info about the postcards. Given the age of the postcards, my guess is that the postcards maybe showed up somewhere like a jumble sale or an antiques shop with something written on them that was potentially linked to the case. But it's anybodys guess.
It could be that Shelley purchased them and was seen writing on them, thus whomever harmed her may have taken them. Or at the very least anyone with those postcards might have been present that day and therefore a potential witness (or murderer).
@@JoliNatural apparently the police said the postcards were made "in the 80s *OR* 90s" which seems to imply that they don't know exactly when they were made, and it's very possible that they weren't made until after the murder. So that seems to indicate that Shelley wasn't seen with them. If she had, they would have had a more specific date, and ruled out the 1990s.
@@zeddeka Your theory makes sense then, that perhaps the postcards showed up with Shelley's writing on them and now police want to know of anyone who might have been around at the time of purchase. Might thoughts when I heard mention of the postcards is they're a clue in some way yet police don't want to say how because that information getting out could jeopardize the case.
I lived in the Bristol area for most of the 1980s but didn’t remember this case at all. I had to listen to the part about the postcards twice to try to understand its significance. But I’m none the wiser; the police aren’t saying anything about why this calendar has become of interest. What a strange thing, suddenly after all these years. The mind boggles. I hope it leads somewhere.
I never get used to hearing about these cases. No doubt, I am not alone. Each case involves a different victim, a different set of circumstances, and different outcomes. My heart goes out to Shelly's loved ones who are left to wonder what happened to her. 💔
Father God, I pray there will be answers for her family. Because yes, she was robbed of the things listed from a human aspect, but from hers she gained everything when her eyes closed in death. Please help them find the peace they need.
A coward to stab a woman in the back a painful death😮 a woman alone and walking she did not here him she took risks her children must miss there mum a stranger followed her I think
I hope this could be another golden state killer situation, he was caught eventually i hope they catch the filth that murdered Shelley.Could the Olympus camera hold the key surely its out their somewhere
Omg I am so sorry you endured all that?! So debate over such pettiness it’s no surprise as Mary is a planner…Remember that she has been doing this for decades.
This is a sad story, particularly when listening to the sister's voicing of what the victim, Shelly, had missed out on, in what was to be important milestones of her life. All of those events of her family's lives that she would have been there for, that were stolen from them all beginning with the taking of Shelly's life. My only concern with this video is that this murder is said to be "peculiar", when, sadly, it is not. This type of crime is all too common, and the only thing left to find is what she did in thee moments when she disappeared, and who killed her. There are thousands of cases like this one. To be truly peculiar, it needs to have an outstanding occurrence of some kind, like the victim being found in a posed manner or something different, however subtle or blatant it may be. The title for this video is a bit of a clickbait, I think. Still, my condolences to the family and friends of this poor woman. She deserved to have a long and productive, happy life, but she was robbed of that and at such an early age. The world lost a talented and skilled artist and designer the day she left. I hope those who loved her find peace, knowing that she's with God, the Universe, whatever the name you choose for the Creator. May they find the comfort they need.
It always impresses me when people ask god to keep themselves after they've learned firsthand that that kinda isn't how god has decided to roll. Ur in ur own, babes. Don't rely on that dude. He doesn't care
After you have experienced the horrors of the world, you may have a different perspective. Many feel their faith keeps them sane when the nightmares and the daymares arrive.
Too many unsolved murders. I hope the family can get an answer eventually. RIP Shelley. You deserved respect.
Her sister's words as spoken by the murder victim tell such a sad story. The monster that killed her went on with his life like nothing happened but for Shelley's family everything fell apart. At least Shelley and her husband are together again. Condolences to her family in the US and Europe.
So many of these stories end without the victim being found. I’m so glad that she was able to be properly laid to rest, now she needs justice.
He sisters words are so moving. So sad. Good job covering the case.
This is very sad I got goosebumps at the end, I hope one day they get justice for Shelley RIP. Thank you, DC 👏👏👏👏
That letter written from Shelly's POV on all the things she missed after passing just absolutely broke me 💔 Rest peacefully, Shelly, your beautiful soul won't be forgotten. I'm disgusted that you met such a horrible end.
I know. Just hearing about her family's journey after she was gone is heartwrenching
Her poor family.
Dark Curiosities has been pumping content like crazy. I love it!
Unfortunately, there is no shortage of materials.
Wow such a beautiful soul murdered in such a brutal and despicable manner. I bet that kid was horrified at finding her body. Her family needs closure.
That victim impact statement was beautiful, it was beautifully written and read. What a sad story. God bless her, her children and her family. Prayers for all.
Thank you for doing a variety of cases from around the world. Poor Shelley. Hopefully some day this case will be solved.
Perhaps there was DNA evidence that could help since there have been so many advances in that area now. How tragic 😢😢
Oh, I remember this case showing up on crimewatch back in the day. The reconstruction was real eerie. RIP Shelley
Some latent homosexual man was probably culpable...
Why was it eerie? There's been eerie reconstructions on Crimewatch but I don't think there's anything in this case that was that.
@@barneyronnie What makes you jump to that conclusion?

That was not clear. Perhaps the police are keeping information back that only the killer would know?
Thank you for your reply.
Because the police are rubbish, so they put forward something, anything, so it seems they are on to a clue.
Yeah, very odd and unclear. I need to do some research myself.

Minor point, but the Olympus OM 10 came out in 1979, even in the UK. I had one for my 18th birthday that year.
Today is 11th June 2024, which marks the 40th anniversary of Shelley's murder. Police have today launched a new appeal for any information.
Absolutely tragic.
The sisters words are so moving. Let's hope she gets some answers.

This is one of those slogans that people repeat unthinkingly. No one ever questions it, or asks themselves why they believe it.

It's more about finding comfort in a life with many struggles and much suffering. But I agree. Whatever "god" is, it isn't what people think.
