So sad. But even if they did call 911 I think she would have not lived a normal life. She would be on machines forever. So sad. But still not ok that he did that to her.
Seeing her leave the store and walk up to her car followed by this creep, is chilling, to say the least. And thinking that she woke up confused and disoriented just to pass away later, is heart-wrenching. Rest in peace, beautiful Jessica. ❤
I don’t know how anyone is not afraid living in America with its numerous psychopaths and weirdos, many with murderous intent. Perhaps not being out and about in the wee hours, locking your doors and not attracting attention to yourself can be some ways to avert danger.
@@aridyaacob3172People,in fact all inocent people should know how to defend themselves and always carry some pepper spray or whatever...but yeah,it s easy to say than done.This world have some serious creeps walking around..
I had an upstairs neighbor who acted erratically quite often, and no one ever bothered to call the police other than myself. A lot of people simply don't want to get involved.
Really sad, the thought of her last moments alive of her not even able to comprehend what was happening to her is devastating, if only just one person called for help😢
1) they’re probably working 2) they didn’t know what was going on 3) they might have thought it’s a homeless person or something and just let them be It’s easy to judge when we have hindsight but people often don’t know what’s going on so they try not to get into other people’s business
This is disgusting. This man just randomly saw a lady and within minutes decided he was going to rape and kill her? How diabolical and terrifying is that? I’m so angry. She just popped into a shop and was murdered as a result. May he rot in hell
Such is life as a woman. You could be going about your day like normal, but if some random guy decides that his own sick pleasure is worth more then your life, then that's that. And there's a lot of them out there...
As soon as the narrator said her car was found parked outside a Little Ceasars I realized what case this it. For some reason this one always sticks with me as one of the saddest and most tragic. And I know we always ask but like how did no one see her in that car?! Edit: okay so a bunch of people saw her being weird and just didn't think to call 911. Depressingly familiar.
Shame, shame, shame on those people who saw her disoriented and in distress and who did nothing to help. Not even just to call the police to report it.
So many comments about this, so let's just clarify. What was stated as her being "disoriented" or "in distress" were: One employee seeing her half-naked in the car, which could have been for a number of reasons; her twirling her hair outside of her vehicle, which I would deem to be normal behavior for someone; and, lastly, that she appeared to be "mumbling to herself" inside her car, which we all know cell phones were around at that time and that most people had one -- also learning that Jessika did in fact have one -- so she could have merely been speaking to someone on speakerphone at the time. Of course we know what we know now and have a natural tendency to want to judge others -- and often, quite harshly -- but nothing about what I reiterated of what was stated in the video would I deem as necessitating a call to emergency services for help... and I am a person who has zero problems phoning the police.
@@loveforeignaccents the behaviour was out of the norm enough to a) get the attention of several people and b) have them note the behaviour as disorientated/distressed so the fact they noted she didn’t seem ok and didn’t even bother to speak with her or call for help is very concerning
@ From the info I saw online about the case facts, two people/employees from the pizza shop saw her. No other people were mentioned as having seen her or at least making a statement and definitely not testifying to that effect, so I think this channel misspoke when they said "several".
@ considering it was a high car and foot traffic area and well into morning rush when she was found I’m willing to bet a fair few people saw her as they passed on their way to work/school etc and just decided “not my problem” those two employees were the ones noted because, being from the store directly in front of her car, the cops would have questioned them. Just because they weren’t specifically quoted/questioned that just means they didn’t come forward. Bystander apathy, it’s a documented phenomenon where the more people are around the less likely someone will help. Unfortunately in this case it likely cost this girl her life.
Women, when you are approaching your car alone at night, please please be vigilant and fully aware of your surroundings. Look around before opening your door so you don't get pushed in, then lock the door the very second you are inside. As a woman, I know doing this has saved me many times. I wish this wasn't our reality, but it is. It's always better to be extra cautious than get your life taken. RIP Jessika.
Keep your head on a swivel! I’m literally replaying my walk home on the late evenings when I stop by the Safeway near our house. I realize that sometimes I'm just in the zone and don't even look around me. Thanks to Jessika, I won't be that way anymore and will remember to stay fully aware of my surroundings until I’m safely back at home.
Watching the footage, I was crestfallen when she didn't park closer to the Wal-Mart. She could have parked right next to the handicapped spots in the light and direct eyeline of the doors. I live in what's considered one of the safest countries in the world (it's getting more violent these days, though), and I keep my head on a swivel when out and about. Women can walk safely at night at any hour, but that doesn't mean there'll never be someone who takes advantage of that. No matter where you are, be vigilant.
We are always vigilant but if someone is *determined* to hurt us, it doesn't matter. You can be snug in your bed with everything locked up tight and can still be attacked. We shouldn't have to be vigilante 24/7 because the male gender can be a predator. Who wants to go through life being afraid? I'm sick of being told as a woman to be more careful! 'Nuff said.
I’m so frikken angry for her. These people either didn’t give a damn or too stupid to think that something might be medically wrong to call 911. 🤬 I hope these witnesses feel ashamed for the rest of their lives.
I can’t get over the fact that not one person who clearly saw how distressed she was came to help her and she died alone not knowing what was happening to her, so sad. It took two trials to find the monster guilty of her murder, absolutely disgusting. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. RIP Jessica 😢
I assume they thought she was a bit of a crazy person (for lack of a better descriptive word) that could be a risk/dangerous to them if they approached, or someone who had too much to drink the night before, slept it off in her car and was trying to get changed. That's what comes to mind.
@@ChrisAndCats Yes, it could have been any number of things. Everyone blaming everyone else except for the actual blame-worthy person. Damage was already done by the time everyone else saw her. She most likely would have been a vegetable had she lived.
10/10 for your channel. The compassion and feeling from your telling of the case never wavers. You keep an even tone right the way through. Only when it's a child does your voice slightly change. An excellent channel. The research you do is exemplary. I would like to ask you how you get these cases and all the relevant information and permission to showcase them. What struck me here was that so many commented on the fact that this poor young woman was acting erratic yet not one person went over to see if she was okay. They just walked away. Had they done something I wounder if she would have survived because it is definitely an unusual death. I hope he rots in hell.
Came here just for this. Why wouldn’t you call when there’s a naked person crawling around in their car? Or when they’re sitting outside their car mumbling to themselves? Unbelievable
@jennygorr2805 It is . Even if you thought she was under the influence, you wouldn't let her drive in that condition? She could have caused an accident. (Obviously she wasn't*)
Some people are born evil... When I was about 19 years old my boyfriend that I had that time he used to abuse me he beat me nearly to death on the street no body came to help me or called the police
@@jennygorr2805 Did you never get it on in your car when you were younger? That's probably what that employee thought when she saw her half-naked in the car, I would imagine. And it was stated she was outside the car playing with her hair -- certainly nothing abnormal about that -- and back inside the car when she appeared to be mumbling to herself. People did have cell phones obviously back then, so anyone could have certainly thought at the time that she was talking to someone on her cell; if not, people often do talk to themselves.
Jessica’s horrific strangulation placed her into a position of still being alive but for hours, upon hours, and yet NO ONE stepped in to help her??? The only comfort is the woman, whose husband was his friend, called police to identify this vile, lying and dangerous POS as there is no idea as to when he would have eventually been caught, which SHE deserves accolades for choosing to report HIM!!
This is utterly horrifying. That poor young woman. Why didn't any one of those people; who viewed her behaviour, call 911? Even if they thought she was under the influence of substances, the fact that she clearly had access to a vehicle and was seen to be acting strange, should have at the least, warranted a call to the police. And the outright nerve of the murderer claiming that the "meet up" was planned and consensual. The idiot clearly tried to gaslight anyone who viewed the security camera footage by trying to rewrite what clearly happened with his own narrative. R.I.P Jessika
Honestly, Christine, I don't think any of it would warrant a call to 911. We know it did in hindsight, but at the time she was seen half-naked in the vehicle by one person, which could have meant she was changing clothes (which it in fact sounded like); then others saw her outside the car twirling her hair (normal behavior); and then another saw her mumbling to herself in the car, which could have been her talking on a cell phone on speaker.
@@loveforeignaccents You may be right and it could be a case of hindsight in regards of my comment. However when you take in the facts of the symptoms caused from her brains' lack of oxygen from being strangled twice, you'd expect that when looking at her you'd notice something isn't right. If the people who saw her were close enough to see her twirling her hair, or alone and talking in the car, or even that she was naked (yes in her car) in a public space and scrambling to get dressed should have still raised an alarm. I'm not blaming the witnesses. I know it's not their fault for her death. And I'm sure that once they heard her story they too would be asking themselves the same questions. I guess I'm just disappointed that once again our modern lives have lead us to disconnect from our sense of community and helping within that community. We just seem to care less about others now.
@ But once again, how could anyone have "taken in the facts" when they didn't have them at the time? And I don't think it's a "disconnect from our sense of community", but more so so many people suffering from mental illness. I mean it's par for the course. I'm not going to call the cops every time I see someone talking to themselves on the train or on the streets, looking like they haven't bathed in months, haven't been to the dentist in ages, etc. No one knew what was going on with this girl. She could have simply been on drugs for all they knew.
You did a fabulous job retelling this horrific story. Jessica’s case deeply disturbed me because of how much was taken from this family, how bright a light was snuffed out, and how “normal” this creep of a monster looked. I am so thankful he can NEVER be free in society to do this again. He’s right where he belongs for the rest of his miserable pathetic life.
I remember this crime from when it happened, she was about a year younger than myself. It was immensely sad, sick and twisted years ago and nothing there has changed. Still heartbreaking for her family and friends. It reminds me that women still have to be careful no matter where we are, what time or day it is or what we're wearing. What a waste of such a beautiful life, for someone elses sick depravity. ❤
@ Maybe maybe not. From where it look like he came from when he left the building, it look like he was waiting, kind of where they store the carts for her to walk past.
CCTV has become an important tool of solving crimes. To see it unfold in front of your eyes is unnerving to say the least. What the heck goes on in peoples minds?? S3x offenders should never be let out of jail. Fullstop.
Sadly ironic how she was such a wonderful caring friend and drove all of them home helping them but not one person helped her and offered assistance even just calling an ambulance. Unbelievable 😢
Agreed , how was not one person willing to go with her to the store so SHE wouldn’t be alone at that time of night, ladies quit being so concerned with taking care of everyone else except yourself…..be cautious and aware… don’t compromise your safety
This makes me think about all the unhoused people I have walked past that were erratic or disoriented. When is it time to call for help? It’s so horrifying that people didn’t realize she was in danger
Poor girl. What a hideous crime. It seems that someone despicable is always lurking around these late night shopping centres. Ladies, take care out there. Rest in peace Jessika❤
Why didn't the restaurant workers call the cops for a wellness check...? Seems like they could have seen the car there all day. I've done it a couple of times myself. Id rather find out it was a non-issue rather than finding out later my non-action lead to a death. Great video as always. I highly respect the compassion you show towards all people affected in these stories.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this case before. What an unbelievably cruel, horrific way to die, and I cannot believe none of the people who saw her that morning thought to call for help. Ugh the whole thing just makes me literally sick to my stomach, wtf… and I didn’t even know her, I can’t begin to imagine the horror and heartbreak felt by those who actually did. RIP Jessika 💔🕊️
I think that I’ve been watching too much true crime. I feel distraught and angry after watching this. Women aren’t safe anywhere at anytime. So sad for this poor girl. 😢
@eadweard. What what is it like? Men aren't preyed upon by women on a regular basis. Look at all the women who have lost their lives to men. Far greater number.
Poor girl, if she’d only stayed overnight at her friend’s house or went straight home, she wouldn’t have run into a murderous psychopath. But, she thought of her dog’s food and stopped at Walmart where she was sought out by a murderer. So very sad. That murderous devil attacked a helpless victim who died a horrible death. R.I.P. Jessika. 😢
My heart breaks for Jessika. Poor girl! She didn't deserve this. And she never saw it coming. Be careful, ladies, out there. Monsters are constantly lurking around, especially late at night. Be vigilant!
Nobody even bothered to call for help for her ? Even if they didn’t want to try and assist , they could’ve at least called . The apathy of most people is sickening
This is one of the saddest deaths that I’ve heard. What a ridiculous story he made up, too. I have never met a decent pathological liar, though. Thanks for telling Jessica’s story. Rest in peace ❤🕊️
Why can't you fathom that, especially if you watch these type of videos?? I mean it's a known fact that there are many people on the planet just like this guy.
This really is beyond any normal comprehension of cruel and tragic. The poor girl was buying dog food on her way home for goodness' sake! Ladies do not go shopping by yourself parking up in a near empty lot...especially after midnight. That disgusting excuse for a man doesn't deserve a mention.
The fact that she was still cradling around and doing things after she was strangled is so haunting. It’s wild to me that nobody even had a thought to call for help or try to help their damn self.
Your channel is one of my favorites, and you dont have as many views as you deserve. I wonder if its bc of some setting error, i NEVER EVER EVER get the notification that tou posted even though im subscribed and checked all notifications. Just fyi, if it helps the algorithm ❤
Poor young lady & how devastating for her family and friends. What a monster. And who TH names their son Crispin? Anyhow, glad he's never getting out!! Thanks for the upload, ladies; never heard of this one before. Enjoy the rest of your weekend as well.
What an awful way to go. She was just an object to him. And he clearly thought he was smarter than the cops. No innocent person ever disguises their involvement; if that had been the truth, he would have shared everything he knew. And who tf gives their debit card and pin to a guy they just met?! That makes no sense whatsoever! At least he was a moron and they caught him within days.
People should not blame others for seeing her in her car and not doing anything. No one's thought is that this woman was just rap ed and strangled. We have a major drug problem and mental health problem in our country. Unfortunately, a naked woman acting erratic in her car is NOT that unusual. How about we not blame individuals when you were not there yourself? All the blame is on the guy who actually harmed her. RIP to her.
This is the most horrific way to die She suffered so much the rape being strangled twice the violence against her was shocking what a waste of a beautiful life
Sounded like the Lil Cesar's employee was the only one who saw her naked. She could have possibly assumed she had been messing around w/someone in her car or that she was in fact looking to change her clothes.
This is some of the scariest content. She wasnt doing anything wrong , she wasnt involved in anything shady. She was just going about her day doing mundane task and was targeted at random for seemingly no reason and lost her life due to nothing at all. Truly horrifying
This happens quite frequently. And she wasn't going about her day doing mundane tasks. She was out after, what was it, 1:00 a.m. doing a mundane task. Not victim blaming, but I'm sure you know the saying... nothing good ever happens after dark (especially for a lone female). Point is, be safe out there!!
@@loveforeignaccentsexcept for the night, the previous comment was referring in contrast with a female coming out from the club drunk walking the street ...omg how many times I walk the streets coming from late shift or gym , but I'm looking all the time around myself I had to be in control it's scary to think about a bad scenario but I would scream why she didn't screamed ??
@ Who knows if she screamed or not? Although I would imagine she certainly would have. We had zero audio from that encounter & couldn't even see her mouth movement(s) because she was blocked from the camera capturing that by trees.
@@loveforeignaccents so many comments like this on these true crime channels. if you compiled them all together, women are pretty much unsafe going outside at all.
Gotta love everyone in the comments section admonishing the people who saw her disoriented in the car but no negative remarks for the scumbag that put her in this position. Society is so backwards smh
You got that right!! Just went through nearly all the comments and responded to so many who were blaming everyone except the perp. Truly disheartening.
@@atodamadre3197 I’m sure that just goes without saying. Some people may be looking for lessons learned or apparent misses. Dude, was obviously a monster. What a horrible death she endured.
So many people saw her in distress and no one helped her. Maybe she could have been saved. Still, this low-life is now locked away. He will only be released in a pine box. RIP Jessika, may the Angels give you wings to fly
I don't get how so many people saw her obviously struggling and no one helped her. It's disgusting how people can justify it to themselves by 'not wanting to get involved'.
Every single case presented is cruel and upsetting but this one really tugged at the heartstrings. Why is there so much evil in this world? Poor Jessika. I hope you are resting in peace x
I thought I hadn't either, but I vaguely recall another case where I know for certain a man was shot -- pretty sure his wife was, too -- and he was just going about his daily business of getting the newspaper, etc., originally. Can't really remember what happened though, but, yes, he eventually ended up passing.
@@loveforeignaccentsYes, I was also thinking of that guy but I can't remember any names. Hopefully someone else can because Google was no help to me either.
Thankfully with technology this type of crime should be easy to solve. For her family, for her friends, my deepest sympathy. May she rest with the angels.
Absolutely horrific. Got no words for this one. No one, i mean absolutely no one did anything seeing poor Jessika in so much pain and so much obvious distress. And they didn't call for help. Rest in eternal peace beautiful Jessika. 😔😔😔💔🙏
What was the part about her "being in so much pain and obvious distress"? I obviously must have missed it, as did the people who saw what was stated they saw in the video. Of course we know in hindsight/now that she was because of the info that was provided in the video; but at the time, no, nothing really indicating pain or actual distress. She was seen half-naked. She was seen twirling her hair. She was seen what appeared to be mumbling. That is all.
This murdering creep and his lame story. Did he seriously think anyone with half a brain would believe his story of her just freely giving him her debit card? Poor Jessika, bless her, she really suffered.
This. This is why we choose the bear. A young woman, with all her life ahead of her, is dead cuz this creature decided to go after her to fufil his perverted ideas. Women should be safe doing every day things like shopping in a supermarket or going for a jog.
People who typically work minimum wage jobs have to due to a minimum skillset, to be quite frank. Of course there are exceptions to that "rule", but that has been my experience over the course of my adult life.
Imagine crawling inside your own car pooping, being totally confused and bewildered, because half your brain is literally dead. I can't imagine a more hellish situation.
At least she didn't realize it. I would imagine having all of my cognitive abilities and having acid thrown on me or being lit ablaze would be a far more hellish situation.
He was actively hunting. Sicko. There are way too many of these freaks out there. The prosecution did a shit job of presenting the case the first time around. The had video footage of him stalking her. Dropping her car off. No messages between them. She wasnt on the website he claimed. He threw her debit card away. He changed the look of his truck. He was the only one there. They should not have allowed the defence to counteract these claims if they had done their job properly. What happened to the constitution thats states you are allowed a speedy trial. 10 years to retry the guy, come on.
So sad she died so horribly. Confused , lost , hurting and no one to help. This world is cruel.
Not the world. The predators and those who don't help are.
@@deanraney1049Wow tell us more, Cletus. You seem smart.
This world is cruel and the human primate the most flawed of all animal species.
@@janem5900Watch chimps and you’ll realise that we are quite civilised.
And poor thing shitting all over herself. Horrible.
That poor womans dignity was snatched away from her in so many devastating ways, absolutely heartbreaking
What is Truly Criminal is that of the many people that witnessed this woman in obvious distress, no one lifted a finger, a phone or offered ANY help.
So sad. But even if they did call 911 I think she would have not lived a normal life. She would be on machines forever. So sad. But still not ok that he did that to her.
They probably thought she was wasted
Now, I agree with this!! I was shocked by their lack of response too!!! Smh!
Ppl were saying how they were afraid to call because they didn't want put their kids in danger 🤨🙄
Exactly - why didn't anyone call an ambulance or notify the police that there was a woman in a state of confusion, clearly unwell?
Seeing her leave the store and walk up to her car followed by this creep, is chilling, to say the least. And thinking that she woke up confused and disoriented just to pass away later, is heart-wrenching. Rest in peace, beautiful Jessica. ❤
since this is 2009, luckily the quality of video has gotten much better.

One of the biggest tragedies in this is that folks saw her in her car that day acting erratic and strange and did nothing! So sad.
I had an upstairs neighbor who acted erratically quite often, and no one ever bothered to call the police other than myself. A lot of people simply don't want to get involved.
And Texas goes on and on about how "friendly" they are.
@ I'm sure many people from Texas are. You will have bad apples wherever you go. No getting around that.
It’s dangerous to call the police on people. That’s y.
Neither did you
Really sad, the thought of her last moments alive of her not even able to comprehend what was happening to her is devastating, if only just one person called for help😢
It was so infuriating that the restaurant worker who saw her 3 times never went to help her.
Why didn't they at least call the police????
That’s exactly what I thought. They had to have known she was in distress😢
1) they’re probably working
2) they didn’t know what was going on
3) they might have thought it’s a homeless person or something and just let them be
It’s easy to judge when we have hindsight but people often don’t know what’s going on so they try not to get into other people’s business
You should always try your best to help ...
When in doubt check it out!!!
It makes me question if he’s done it before. What compels someone out of the blue to act upon festering evil? He’s a heartless monster!
Same. At his age it seems strange he would randomly do this with no history or build up of similar behavior.
This is disgusting. This man just randomly saw a lady and within minutes decided he was going to rape and kill her? How diabolical and terrifying is that? I’m so angry. She just popped into a shop and was murdered as a result. May he rot in hell

An excellent channel. The research you do is exemplary. I would like to ask you how you get these cases and all the relevant information and permission to showcase them.
What struck me here was that so many commented on the fact that this poor young woman was acting erratic yet not one person went over to see if she was okay. They just walked away. Had they done something I wounder if she would have survived because it is definitely an unusual death. I hope he rots in hell.
WTF none of these people decided to call the police or an ambulance?
Came here just for this. Why wouldn’t you call when there’s a naked person crawling around in their car? Or when they’re sitting outside their car mumbling to themselves? Unbelievable
@jennygorr2805
It is . Even if you thought she was under the influence, you wouldn't let her drive in that condition? She could have caused an accident. (Obviously she wasn't*)
Some people are born evil... When I was about 19 years old my boyfriend that I had that time he used to abuse me he beat me nearly to death on the street no body came to help me or called the police
@@jennygorr2805 Did you never get it on in your car when you were younger? That's probably what that employee thought when she saw her half-naked in the car, I would imagine. And it was stated she was outside the car playing with her hair -- certainly nothing abnormal about that -- and back inside the car when she appeared to be mumbling to herself. People did have cell phones obviously back then, so anyone could have certainly thought at the time that she was talking to someone on her cell; if not, people often do talk to themselves.
Thank you. All the way from Thessaloniki, Greece.
Jessica’s horrific strangulation placed her into a position of still being alive but for hours, upon hours, and yet NO ONE stepped in to help her???
The only comfort is the woman, whose husband was his friend, called police to identify this vile, lying and dangerous POS as there is no idea as to when he would have eventually been caught, which SHE deserves accolades for choosing to report HIM!!
This is utterly horrifying. That poor young woman.
Why didn't any one of those people; who viewed her behaviour, call 911?
Even if they thought she was under the influence of substances, the fact that she clearly had access to a vehicle and was seen to be acting strange, should have at the least, warranted a call to the police.
And the outright nerve of the murderer claiming that the "meet up" was planned and consensual. The idiot clearly tried to gaslight anyone who viewed the security camera footage by trying to rewrite what clearly happened with his own narrative.
R.I.P Jessika
I agree ☝🏼 I can’t believe no one called the police
Honestly, Christine, I don't think any of it would warrant a call to 911. We know it did in hindsight, but at the time she was seen half-naked in the vehicle by one person, which could have meant she was changing clothes (which it in fact sounded like); then others saw her outside the car twirling her hair (normal behavior); and then another saw her mumbling to herself in the car, which could have been her talking on a cell phone on speaker.
@@loveforeignaccents You may be right and it could be a case of hindsight in regards of my comment.
However when you take in the facts of the symptoms caused from her brains' lack of oxygen from being strangled twice, you'd expect that when looking at her you'd notice something isn't right. If the people who saw her were close enough to see her twirling her hair, or alone and talking in the car, or even that she was naked (yes in her car) in a public space and scrambling to get dressed should have still raised an alarm. I'm not blaming the witnesses. I know it's not their fault for her death. And I'm sure that once they heard her story they too would be asking themselves the same questions.
I guess I'm just disappointed that once again our modern lives have lead us to disconnect from our sense of community and helping within that community. We just seem to care less about others now.
@ But once again, how could anyone have "taken in the facts" when they didn't have them at the time? And I don't think it's a "disconnect from our sense of community", but more so so many people suffering from mental illness. I mean it's par for the course. I'm not going to call the cops every time I see someone talking to themselves on the train or on the streets, looking like they haven't bathed in months, haven't been to the dentist in ages, etc.
No one knew what was going on with this girl. She could have simply been on drugs for all they knew.
In 90 degrees heat, someone sitting outside their car twirling their hair would seem normal???????
Thank you for the considerate way that you handled this heartbreaking story. Prayers for the young lady's family and friends 🙏
One of the best channels on RUclips. Ty for your hard work.😊
You did a fabulous job retelling this horrific story. Jessica’s case deeply disturbed me because of how much was taken from this family, how bright a light was snuffed out, and how “normal” this creep of a monster looked. I am so thankful he can NEVER be free in society to do this again. He’s right where he belongs for the rest of his miserable pathetic life.
@@AmeliasMiMi he looked normal to you? He looked like a desperate criminal to me
How horrible that she suffered all those hours after being strangled. Heart breaking.
I remember this crime from when it happened, she was about a year younger than myself. It was immensely sad, sick and twisted years ago and nothing there has changed. Still heartbreaking for her family and friends. It reminds me that women still have to be careful no matter where we are, what time or day it is or what we're wearing. What a waste of such a beautiful life, for someone elses sick depravity. ❤
Crazy scary….this dude went looking for a victim to attack at a Walmart where there are lots of cameras late at night.
It seemed like to me that it was a crime of opportunity and only thought of it when he walked out of the bathroom and laid eyes on her.
@ Maybe maybe not. From where it look like he came from when he left the building, it look like he was waiting, kind of where they store the carts for her to walk past.
Sociopaths never believe th😢at they will get caught. Yes, he was “ hunting” (looking for a victim) . He is a predator
Your videos keep getting better and better. You do such a beautiful job honoring the victim.
CCTV has become an important tool of solving crimes. To see it unfold in front of your eyes is unnerving to say the least. What the heck goes on in peoples minds?? S3x offenders should never be let out of jail. Fullstop.
Sadly ironic how she was such a wonderful caring friend and drove all of them home helping them but not one person helped her and offered assistance even just calling an ambulance. Unbelievable 😢
Agreed , how was not one person willing to go with her to the store so SHE wouldn’t be alone at that time of night, ladies quit being so concerned with taking care of everyone else except yourself…..be cautious and aware… don’t compromise your safety
This makes me think about all the unhoused people I have walked past that were erratic or disoriented. When is it time to call for help? It’s so horrifying that people didn’t realize she was in danger
Disgusting predator. I am appalled! I am glad he will never be released.
Poor girl. What a hideous crime. It seems that someone despicable is always lurking around these late night shopping centres. Ladies, take care out there. Rest in peace Jessika❤
Why didn't the restaurant workers call the cops for a wellness check...? Seems like they could have seen the car there all day. I've done it a couple of times myself. Id rather find out it was a non-issue rather than finding out later my non-action lead to a death.
Great video as always. I highly respect the compassion you show towards all people affected in these stories.
As if she would just give her card and pin to a stranger. That's just ridiculous that he tried saying that.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this case before. What an unbelievably cruel, horrific way to die, and I cannot believe none of the people who saw her that morning thought to call for help. Ugh the whole thing just makes me literally sick to my stomach, wtf… and I didn’t even know her, I can’t begin to imagine the horror and heartbreak felt by those who actually did. RIP Jessika 💔🕊️
Me too! I've been watching true crime since 2009 and never heard of this case. It's so so tragic.
I've never heard of this case either ... And I've been around the true crime genre since the 90's
Horrific. Thank God the prosecutors never gave up. Monster.
I think that I’ve been watching too much true crime. I feel distraught and angry after watching this. Women aren’t safe anywhere at anytime. So sad for this poor girl. 😢
You should see what it's like for men.
Makes us 2 on the feelings part.
Women are generally very safe in the west. Men on the other hand…
@eadweard. What what is it like? Men aren't preyed upon by women on a regular basis. Look at all the women who have lost their lives to men. Far greater number.
@@eadweard. In what way?
Poor girl, if she’d only stayed overnight at her friend’s house or went straight home, she wouldn’t have run into a murderous psychopath. But, she thought of her dog’s food and stopped at Walmart where she was sought out by a murderer.
So very sad. That murderous devil attacked a helpless victim who died a horrible death.
R.I.P. Jessika. 😢
It's just despicable how he didn't just take her life, he took all her dignity too. What a heartbreaking case
No conscience
My heart breaks for Jessika. Poor girl! She didn't deserve this. And she never saw it coming. Be careful, ladies, out there. Monsters are constantly lurking around, especially late at night. Be vigilant!
Nobody even bothered to call for help for her ? Even if they didn’t want to try and assist , they could’ve at least called . The apathy of most people is sickening
This is one of the saddest deaths that I’ve heard. What a ridiculous story he made up, too. I have never met a decent pathological liar, though. Thanks for telling Jessica’s story. Rest in peace ❤🕊️
I don't think there is such a thing... otherwise they wouldn't constantly lie for no reason, would they?
@@loveforeignaccents Are their decent “ pathological liars?” ( I think not).:What a strange and naive comment.. uh, like duh!
could listen to your voice for hours ❤
Cases like this have made me more aware of my surroundings and vigilant.
I cannot believe there are human predators out there hunting for prey.
Why can't you fathom that, especially if you watch these type of videos?? I mean it's a known fact that there are many people on the planet just like this guy.
Agreed, one should not be shocked by this behavior
This really is beyond any normal comprehension of cruel and tragic.
The poor girl was buying dog food on her way home for goodness' sake!
Ladies do not go shopping by yourself parking up in a near empty lot...especially after midnight.
That disgusting excuse for a man doesn't deserve a mention.
The fact that she was still cradling around and doing things after she was strangled is so haunting. It’s wild to me that nobody even had a thought to call for help or try to help their damn self.
I feel the same.
If only someone had taken action.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
This is so so so sad. 😢 my heart goes out to her family and friends.
Thank you, as always.
Your channel is one of my favorites, and you dont have as many views as you deserve. I wonder if its bc of some setting error, i NEVER EVER EVER get the notification that tou posted even though im subscribed and checked all notifications. Just fyi, if it helps the algorithm ❤
This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔. Life is fleeting and can be snatched away in an instant. Be careful and be kind to one another ❤️.
Poor young lady & how devastating for her family and friends.
What a monster. And who TH names their son Crispin? Anyhow, glad he's never getting out!!
Thanks for the upload, ladies; never heard of this one before. Enjoy the rest of your weekend as well.
What an awful way to go. She was just an object to him. And he clearly thought he was smarter than the cops. No innocent person ever disguises their involvement; if that had been the truth, he would have shared everything he knew.
And who tf gives their debit card and pin to a guy they just met?! That makes no sense whatsoever!
At least he was a moron and they caught him within days.
Horrible man. He must have been thinking about doing this for a while
People should not blame others for seeing her in her car and not doing anything. No one's thought is that this woman was just rap ed and strangled. We have a major drug problem and mental health problem in our country. Unfortunately, a naked woman acting erratic in her car is NOT that unusual. How about we not blame individuals when you were not there yourself? All the blame is on the guy who actually harmed her. RIP to her.
What an animal and monster to drag her family and friends through the courts for 10 years!
This is the most horrific way to die
She suffered so much the rape being strangled twice the violence against her was shocking what a waste of a beautiful life
This is by far one of the most horrible murders I've ever heard...
People have noticed her for hours and didn't call for help...
People didn't know what happened, and I'm sure they most likely didn't think she had been SA'd and $TranGleD.
@loveforeignaccents well she was clearly in distress so that's when you suppose to offer your help! At least where I am from.
unbelievable that people saw her naked n just left her....its shocking to think no one wanted to help her...just awful n such a tragic waste of life 😔
Sounded like the Lil Cesar's employee was the only one who saw her naked. She could have possibly assumed she had been messing around w/someone in her car or that she was in fact looking to change her clothes.
This is some of the scariest content. She wasnt doing anything wrong , she wasnt involved in anything shady. She was just going about her day doing mundane task and was targeted at random for seemingly no reason and lost her life due to nothing at all. Truly horrifying
This happens quite frequently. And she wasn't going about her day doing mundane tasks. She was out after, what was it, 1:00 a.m. doing a mundane task. Not victim blaming, but I'm sure you know the saying... nothing good ever happens after dark (especially for a lone female). Point is, be safe out there!!
@@loveforeignaccentsexcept for the night, the previous comment was referring in contrast with a female coming out from the club drunk walking the street ...omg how many times I walk the streets coming from late shift or gym , but I'm looking all the time around myself I had to be in control it's scary to think about a bad scenario but I would scream why she didn't screamed ??
@ Who knows if she screamed or not? Although I would imagine she certainly would have. We had zero audio from that encounter & couldn't even see her mouth movement(s) because she was blocked from the camera capturing that by trees.
@@loveforeignaccents so many comments like this on these true crime channels. if you compiled them all together, women are pretty much unsafe going outside at all.
🙏🏽✨ thank you for another in depth case
I truly love this channel! Your voice is so calming I fall asleep listening to your videos and if I miss any of it I always re watch the next day
Gotta love everyone in the comments section admonishing the people who saw her disoriented in the car but no negative remarks for the scumbag that put her in this position. Society is so backwards smh
You got that right!! Just went through nearly all the comments and responded to so many who were blaming everyone except the perp. Truly disheartening.
@@atodamadre3197 I’m sure that just goes without saying. Some people may be looking for lessons learned or apparent misses. Dude, was obviously a monster. What a horrible death she endured.
it happens all the time with true crime channels. people will blame literally everyone involved before the actual perpetrator - including the victim.
Shame on those that didn’t at least call for emergency services
So devastating 😔
So sad the fact she survived the strangulation but still suffers this awful death and no one helped her 😢
So many people saw her in distress and no one helped her. Maybe she could have been saved. Still, this low-life is now locked away. He will only be released in a pine box. RIP Jessika, may the Angels give you wings to fly
Thank you from your biggest fan in Seattle.❤️🙏🏿
That poor girl.
I don't get how so many people saw her obviously struggling and no one helped her. It's disgusting how people can justify it to themselves by 'not wanting to get involved'.
Every single case presented is cruel and upsetting but this one really tugged at the heartstrings. Why is there so much evil in this world? Poor Jessika. I hope you are resting in peace x
Truly heartbreaking 😢
Great coverage as usual ❤
Now THIS is sad!! I’ve never heard of “delayed death” that had to been the scariest last few moments to live thru smh
I thought I hadn't either, but I vaguely recall another case where I know for certain a man was shot -- pretty sure his wife was, too -- and he was just going about his daily business of getting the newspaper, etc., originally. Can't really remember what happened though, but, yes, he eventually ended up passing.
@@loveforeignaccentsYes, I was also thinking of that guy but I can't remember any names. Hopefully someone else can because Google was no help to me either.
@ Got it... although I was wrong about him being shot; weapon was an axe. Case of Peter and Joan Porco & their son/the perp Christopher Porco.
Thankfully with technology this type of crime should be easy to solve. For her family, for her friends, my deepest sympathy. May she rest with the angels.
Surely, she can’t be his first victim?
Why not?
@ because they usually work up to homicide. Stalking, sexual assaults, beating etc….
Absolutely horrific. Got no words for this one. No one, i mean absolutely no one did anything seeing poor Jessika in so much pain and so much obvious distress. And they didn't call for help.
Rest in eternal peace beautiful Jessika. 😔😔😔💔🙏
What was the part about her "being in so much pain and obvious distress"? I obviously must have missed it, as did the people who saw what was stated they saw in the video. Of course we know in hindsight/now that she was because of the info that was provided in the video; but at the time, no, nothing really indicating pain or actual distress.
She was seen half-naked.
She was seen twirling her hair.
She was seen what appeared to be mumbling.
That is all.
I cant believe she was still alive after that. If i saw her I would've thought she was on drugs
She would have been thinking about her dogs too. "I have to go feed my dogs." Animal lovers always have them in mind. At least, I do.
RIP Jessika x
Rest in peace Jessika. Thank you Truly Criminal 💠
This was such a random, senseless act of evil by an utter moster!! May Jesika rest in peace, and may her killer rot in pieces!! 💔🕊
People seen her the parking lot and did nothing! What's wrong with people in this world!
This beautiful, intelligent woman was literally minding her business buying dog food…
Thanks, TC.
This murdering creep and his lame story. Did he seriously think anyone with half a brain would believe his story of her just freely giving him her debit card? Poor Jessika, bless her, she really suffered.
I've never heard of "delayed strangulation" before.... how horrifying 😢
She wandered in pain, desperate and alone, while the world simply looked away.
This. This is why we choose the bear. A young woman, with all her life ahead of her, is dead cuz this creature decided to go after her to fufil his perverted ideas. Women should be safe doing every day things like shopping in a supermarket or going for a jog.
Wow what a horrible death 💔 RIP Jessika
shame on that little ceasar's employee who saw her in distress THREE TIMES and did nothing to help her.
People who typically work minimum wage jobs have to due to a minimum skillset, to be quite frank. Of course there are exceptions to that "rule", but that has been my experience over the course of my adult life.
I can’t imagine just how much of a scumbag you would have to be to defend this monster
Most public defenders don't have a choice in what cases they are assigned to cover.
I feel very sad for Jessica what kind of monster is he ?! I hope he rots in jail
Road to 1 million subbies
Rip Jess ❤ if there was one kind person called for help she might still be alive 😢 so sad fly high ❤
This episode actually gave me anxiety
Same 😮
It left me extremely furious!
This was a horrific and sickening case
Why the hell wouldn't they just call 9/11 seeing her looking erratic???
Right? Easy Peasy
Imagine crawling inside your own car pooping, being totally confused and bewildered, because half your brain is literally dead. I can't imagine a more hellish situation.
At least she didn't realize it. I would imagine having all of my cognitive abilities and having acid thrown on me or being lit ablaze would be a far more hellish situation.
That camera shtt really pisses me off!!!
You'd need to be more specific really.
I was so annoyed at that bit. Cameras obscured by trees or just bad quality. Totally defeats the purpose.
I wish people had stopped to see if she was ok when they saw her acting so strangely.
He was actively hunting. Sicko. There are way too many of these freaks out there. The prosecution did a shit job of presenting the case the first time around. The had video footage of him stalking her. Dropping her car off. No messages between them. She wasnt on the website he claimed. He threw her debit card away. He changed the look of his truck. He was the only one there. They should not have allowed the defence to counteract these claims if they had done their job properly. What happened to the constitution thats states you are allowed a speedy trial. 10 years to retry the guy, come on.
