I was married to a Narcissist for 30 years. I barely made it out alive. He shot me and handicapped for life. I now have PTSD, anxiety disorder, depression. I do not leave my home. I have to have everything delivered. This case sounds almost familiar. Very well done Kirsty and congratulations on your podcasts 🎉💞
I wish you nothing but the best in life. I pray that you are able to heal and grow into the woman you are meant to be. You deserve to be happy and loved. Surround yourself with loving, helping, healing and supporting people. Sending you virtual hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Damn, knowing that Mark carries a picture of her really breaks my heart. He has so much compassion for a girl he never even met. So many people in this story are in desperate need of serious therapy now.
I feel so bad for him as well, if you've seen that interview of him, he's clearly still suffering over Sophie's demise and the pain in his eyes is real. I hope Sophie is resting, so terrible what happened to her :(
Me too. I usually don't cry in these types of videos but this one... made me cry so much... I hope Sophie is in a better place now... and I hope Mark will get his life back. So terrible
I feel like Sabrina just wanted an “excuse” to hurt someone. I don’t think she truly believed that Sophie did anything. Sabrina is just straight up evil. My heart goes out to Sophie and her family. She seemed like such a kind soul
I feel you are absolutely right about Sabrina,getting power-trips out of hurting someone else,an innocent,really is a sick trait to have..and having bi polar is no excuse.I know people with bipolar who would never hurt anybody else.It’s a label that is totally mis used..
@@pompeysalz2976 yeah I agree! Having bipolar isn’t an excuse. Also, just because someone has bipolar doesn’t make them dangerous, or violent. I’ve known a few people with bipolar. Only one of them was violent, but idk if her bipolar disorder was to blame. I feel like there was something else going on with her. She voiced her fear of killing her partner and how she liked to hurt them. Idk what that is but it’s something extreme

She's highly paranoid and has imagined an entire relationship between people that have never met. I don't think she wanted an excuse I think she literally believes these things are happening.
Dear Danielle, I'm listening to you from Germany and I want to compliment you as you are so easy to understand, your pronunciation is so clear that it makes it really easy for people who's native language isn't English, to understand you. Also, it's very clear that you do a great research on all the cases and I think that's a lot of work, great work! Thank you so much!
Oh yeah, not one r added to words ending in a vowel; shoe -> shoer, deny -> denier, Sabrina -> Sabrinar. Listen to the BBC evening news from London. All (Aller) words end in r. Danielle is precious.
I used to be like sophie. I can relate to her inability to stick up for herself and get out of there. However, I dealt with a toxic narcissist last year and I eventually had a breakdown, which led to a breakthrough. I no longer fear speaking up for myself when I need to
That's rly good to hear .. my ex had fear to say no to anyone I had to teach her to stand up for herself bcus her parents sisters bros ect just emotionally and physically abandoned her but unfortunately she also had a problem with lying and it was too much to keep us together we ended amicably but I always worry about her :(
I had two. My mom and and my ex-husband. I'd been dealing with that 💩 all my life and I got sick and tired of it. I ended up shooting my ex-husband. I told him he was lucky that I let him live, and if he wanted to continue to live, then he'd best stay away from me. He never bothered me again.
There is no way someone normal can be the way Sophie was, when your life is in danger is not about YOU sticking up for yourself is about realizing danger and leaving to ask for help, idk the age of this Sophie but even a kid of 12 years old could have managed better, clearly she had some health problems.
Shit, I have Borderline Personality Disorder. You'd never find me take advantage of anyone, let alone a seriously vulnerable woman. And then to to torture & murder an innocent soul. I could never. The image of Sophie is traumatising. My heart breaks for her & all of her loved ones. Some humans can be so repugnant. They don't deserve life.
I also have BPD and I left a comment to this video about my thoughts regarding this. Danielle makes a great video as always, my comment is just commentary on Sabrina and BPD. I wanted to bring it up that BPD is a misunderstood diagnosis and though she clearly has it, she’s also a minority in what actions she has taken when it comes to people with BPD. I’ve been treated successfully with DBT to the amount that I can manage my symptoms very well and I’m very open about my struggles with mental illness. I often speak about how BPD is misunderstood and the stigma around it. Like with many other diagnosis’s I would sum it up like this: the majority of people with mental illness are more likely to be the victim of violence and crime than the perpetrator.
@@MegKampen Oh for sure. A narcissist is on some next level, but extreme psychopathy is a whole nother level. I didn't realise until recently that a lot people blend those with psychopathy & BPD as one. Saying people with BPD are the same as psychopaths. (Not that every psychopath is unhinged).
I heard about this one. There was a local shop owner who fed Sophie on occasion and really tried to help her but she wouldn't say what was wrong. It's very sad.
We truly never know what other ppl are dealing with. Which is why we really all have to make an effort to be kind to each other. Be nice to other humans is such simple common sense, that we sometimes forget it❤🥹🤗
@@Gymtoshi only sabrina and sam failed her. Her mum had no idea, and obviously the neighbours and shop owners didn't know what was happening. she didn't even speak much english.
As a Psychologist I always say that Narcissism is on a spectrum like many other mental health disorders. To me the end of that spectrum is Sociopathy and even further delusional disorders. This is due to the tendency for narcissist to live in a fantasy (apart of the ego shield). It isn't hard to believe that that fantasy could become delusional thoughts and end in devasting results as in this case.
@@eochaidhoghachruithnedid you assume that someone with a psych degree would not have read the most BASIC of Greek philosophers? the ones everyone reads in entry level philosophy that every single college student takes to get a degree? 😳🤔🤦♀️
@@rebeccasteinke4357I never had to take a philosophy course when I was in my Psych university program. I mean, I took several because I found them interesting, but it was never a requirement to get a degree at my university...
@seriouskhan So are you saying that APD is part of delusional disorders and further down the line there are more delusional disorders? Is that what u meant ?
I couldn't help but laugh out of pain when you were talking about Sophi's salary and hours worked. I used to be an Au Pair in Switzerland, I was earning 50 francs (41 pounds) a week, working from 6 am till 10 pm, 7 days a week. Taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, and doing EVERYTHING around the house. There were also weeks when they didn't pay me because they couldn't and made me feel bad for wanting my money because they were giving me a roof and food. I'm from Guatemala, I was SOO far from home, didn't speak the language, and had no friends in Switzerland besides 3 years old kids -_- When I finally got the courage to leave (I lasted 6 months) they took my passport and left me the whole weekend in the apartment with locked doors, they practically kidnapped me. This was in 2013 when I was 18 and I am still traumatized. These kind of stories should be mentioned more often, being an Au Pair can be amazing but it can also be hell :(
I am Guatemalan too, I am so sorry you had this experience. Its disgusting how people take advantage of others. I hope you can get some therapy and heal. I hope karma gets those people. I pray you are in a better and happier place in your life. Un abrazo muy fuerte
OMG iam VERY surprised you dont have 500 reply comments here , your story is horrible honey I vcant even imagine the fear you must have been thru but what I dont understand is why these cases dont get known so that the people the monsters who abuse au pairs are put in jail hopefully for many years, something must be done this is 2022 I cannot believe they are free and probably doing tthe same thing to others. iam portuguese and I heard of many stories of immigrants in switzerland the level of racism against just about ANYONE is off the charts, anyone outside of switzerland for them is just garbage no good people not even deemed human, its sad but so true, I lived in the USA for many years and stories like this make me very very upset. I hope some day these monsters start to account for their monstruous acts. excuse my bad english btw I wish you the very best and lots lots of hapiness you really deserve it ♥♥
It's a real & horrible thing, and it shows that it left a mark on his spirit by choosing to keep Sophie's picture in his wallet so as to never forget her, and his inadvertent role in her tragic death. Even though none of this was not his fault. You are absolutely right that he will carry that guilt for the rest of his life. My heart hurts for him, and even more so for Sophie & the family and friends she leaves behind. All because of the actions of TWO MONSTERS.
As a survivor of domestic violence I understand Sophie being scared to leave. I’m sure she was also concerned for the children. She loved kids and they were her life. While she was there she made sure the kids ate and were well taken care of. It’s so sad that this world has lost another beautiful angel because of the greed of two evil people. My heart and prayers go out to her family. Even though it’s not her fault, I’m sure Sophia’s mother blames her self every day for not flying in and taking her daughter out of that environment.
As an aupair this case really hits close to home. I can't imagine the pain and suffering she went through leading up to her death. She was a gentle and loving soul who was blamed, abused, and taken advantage of. That picture is truly haunting, and I hope she's resting easily now.
I wanted to be an au pair, but after finding out what happened to Sophie and then hearing other horror stories of nannies being abused by their employers, I decided to finish school in my home country and just move to the country I wanted to move to.
Sophie never had a chance. Sabrina's narcissism could never let her go. She HAD to destroy her.. she was everything she's not and she hated how she was a shining light, the kids probably adored her and Sabrina was jealous of the bond she never bothered to build and more
You can just look at Sophie's pictures & see she was a kind, beautiful soul. This case is absolutely so heartbreaking.. My condolences to her family. RIP 😞
And you can look at the pictures of Sabrina or others of her kind, without even knowing anything about them, and straight up see that they're of no good at all. A woman who LOOKS like a bi*ch - IS a bi*ch, a woman who looks like a witch - is a witch, end of story.
Thank you for telling Sophie’s story. I do not understand why these perpetrators have a possibility of getting out of prison ever. Life sentences should be true life sentences. They deliberately and cruelly took the life of a true innocent- life outside of prison should never be an option for these monsters.
I was an au pair in North London at that time and the case was massively known in the au pair community. It felt so scary being an au pair and a few people did decide to either come back home to their country or not even start their job as an au pair because of this case. Rip Sophie ❤️
That's heartbreaking! I went to Ireland as an au pair in march this year and I felt so scared and nervous being in a new environment, and I went home because the family was quite awful, so I can't even imagine how scared Sophie must have been.
My ex husband would hold me hostage in my own home for days at a time relentlessly accusing me of all sorts of things that simply did not happen...causing my children so much stress and missed meals and even missed school promising that if I just "confessed" everything would be fine and I would be "forgiven".....he would even bring my children into the conversation and have them beg me to just "please tell daddy the truth" so they could eat and go to bed...of course OF COURSE after days of literal physical and mental torture where you can't even seem to keep your own kids safe in their own home....the false confession inevitably comes out. And then the TRUE nightmare begins This man has now been in prison for 13 years and is being released in less than 90 days. I'm terrified. He still obsesses over these "confessions" ...I live w permanent physical damage and emotional scars. The police were much less than helpful then. This type of personality is not to be trifled with. I feel so so sad for Sophie's parents and also for Sabrina's children. My guilt and shame for not being strong enough to get away from my situation still is a huge issue for me. Especially as I hear the echos of that trauma still effecting my children in different ways as they grow into adults(we actually lost one of our precious sons in 2018 to an overdose)there just never seems to be truly happy endings to these types of stories. My hope is now that I am a grandmother....I will at least be able to do everything in my power to prevent this type of chaos in the lives of my amazing grand babies ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Time to go into witness protection program, maybe change your name. Move. I wouldn't stay where I was feeling threatened by this guy. If you're broke, maybe do a GoFundMe; explain to people why you're doing it. Good luck. Our court systems let the worst offenders outweigh too soon. I think that's the case in TOO MANY countries. Abusers generally don't quit without extreme motivation, IF EVER. They escalate until they destroy their target. And people who THREATEN to kill OFTEN DO. Some people are just NOT fixable. If not kept in prison for life they should be kept in a mental institution for life. We need more common sense in our world.
Don't ever think badly of yourself for not getting out immediately. Narcissistic people have ways of twisting things and gaslighting their victims that make it hard to leave. Its even harder when you have kids. You are a survivor and I'm so glad you and your family got out.
When Danielle starts talking about the podcast and saying thank you to everyone when she starts tearing up u can totally see how much it means to her i absolutely love when a RUclipsr shows how great full they really are xx Thank you everyone for all the likes never thought it would get this many likes ❤️😍
I have never watched any of her videos before and literally had no clue who she was until I started watching this video! When I saw her tearing up, I felt the exact way you do and I literally subscribed to her channel because it's nice to see someone who cares this much and is that passionate about what she is doing!! Plus her video is really well done and researched and I will also be subscribing to her podcast as well!! I've been looking for new podcasts to listen too so I'm so happy I came across Danielle's channel!!!!
OMG these people are disgusting and absolutely evil!! May they rot in hell for what they did to poor Sophie, she did NOT deserve this. I also feel bad for Sabrina's 2 innocent children. I hope they're being taken care of and being raised differently than Sabrina was so they'll be better than she ever was!
He made me cry! I hope he can find some kind of peace, I can’t imagine how he must feel. Of course it’s not his fault but the fact that he was used as a reason to torture someone is just horrifying.
I've been a silent subscriber all this time, but I just want to say congratulations Danielle on your podcast! I love the way you storytell, and I can't wait to listen to you every Thursday.
I don’t want to minimize the poor loss of Sophie, but I really hope the children are okay. I can’t imagine what they witnessed and experienced as well. I hope they will be provided with assistance and therapy as they grow up. Rest In Peace Sophie, and my love goes out to her family ❤️
Yeah, the children also had to go through all of this. Not to mention that given who their mother is, I can only imagine their relationship with her was just as bad.
Definitely not they are massive victims in this. They weren’t loved. They had to deal with a paranoid mother who since she abused her lovers, who aren’t blood, was probably hurting them too. Maybe she was paranoid the kids would tell these outsiders and is the real reason she kept becoming “paranoid”. Maybe these were all lies, maybe she didn’t want the kids to confide in Sophie but this coke human seen how she could manipulate her and had to find a different way to get rid of her. For all we know those kids were next
💔💔💔I feel like Sophie loved children so much that her passing is how she managed to free the children as well from that life with those demons.. it’s so devastating 😔
I was in a toxic abusive relationship for a long time with my son’s “dad”. I’ve been single 5 years to heal from it but it’s so hard getting out of. You don’t know how deep you’re in until you’re out. It takes some a long time and i truly feel for Sofie. I know her story and it’s tragic. I hope she didn’t feel pain.
I absolutely underwhere your coming from. I have been single for 5 years also from my ex husband. Now he uses the kids to hurt me. Right now we are going to court for custody and it is ruff. Sofia didn't deserve what happened. So sad
Nobody here is really mentioning Ouissem's role here. He was just as abusive and manipulative. He sent police on a wild goose chase telling them they had been at a neighbour's house when this occured so it couldn't possibly have been them. Specifically, my house. Was a bit of a shock when my dad was questioned, as we have never even met them.
I feel sorry for Sophie and those children. I hope the children are OK. I can’t imagine the trauma they went through just the moment the were born having a mother like that. Does anyone know anything about the kids?
@@szilviaembers818 you know, I could definitely understand how this could happen! A kind person like Sophie would be worried about them enough to not want to leave them.
I was in a relationship with a girl who suffered from Delusional Jealousy, it turned horrific, she was adamant I was sleeping with people from my work, her work, my friends wife's, cousins, just anyone, her proof of these so called affairs were absolutely bizarre. I couldnt get out of it as she said she would tell everyone what I was doing (but it was all in her mind). The trouble she caused was mind blowing. One day I just had enough and walked away, she promised she'd kill me, that was nearly 3 years ago. I still look over my shoulder to this day. I found out that her previous boyfriend had beat her up after she was accusing him of sleeping with his own sister. (this would obviously be one of her delusions), I don't condone his actions at all, but wow I can see how she would have got him to his breaking point. I also found out that her boyfriend before had done the same, no idea why, but I could imagine. I pray for the next guy who gets involved with her. She is so sweet and loving for the first few months, but when she starts her toxicity, God help them.
She sounds in need of serious mental health services. Paranoia and delusions can be a sign of some deeper mental condition. Unfortunately the person suffering with mental health issues will not be likely to seek the help they so desperately need
They should be put to sleep, there is no cure, pointless wastes of air. who wreck perfectly good peoples lives. So glad you got out. Well done. Some never do. I think of all those still stuck in the neverending nightmare of the person they loves delusion.
I had tears in my eyes when I saw the picture of Sophie looking frail, they destroyed someone's life to the point that they killed her for their own satisfaction, evil evil people!! Thank you.
My heart goes out to Sophie, her mother and Mark. This is heartbreaking. I hope Sabrina and Sam spend the rest of their lives behind bars, which, unfortunately, is still a better then what they did to Sophie.
I would just like to add how heartbreaking these stories are and cannot get my head around how people can afflict the sorts of ferocious attacks and abuse. My heart goes out to Sophies family and to all families that have suffered at the hands of these people.
I have heard of this case, but not in so much detail! Sabrina’s actions still make no sense but I had no idea that she had such a long history of being so terrible. Also, as someone in the US, I’m actually impressed that the UK’s ‘police dropped the ball with this’ scenario is still better than how US police handle SA claims.
Oh my god, being from France I heard of this story when it happened in 2017, it was a big commotion here. But I didn't recognize the story when Danielle started telling it, I connected everything during the video. You told it with so much more detail, I learned so much, thank you! And that photo of Sophie is terrible, media didn't realease it here in France.
It's so rare to actually see the genuien appreciation for support on a RUclips channel. I love these videos because of the empathy displayed when she talks about cases. You deserve all the support!
Thank you for actually stating this!!! I'm also diagnosed with BPD and have been very successful in my treatment. It's not perfect, but I'm light-years ahead of where I started when I entered therapy more than 20 years ago. Although a struggle, most people with BPD do things that are self destructive, although they do actually have rage outburst. I know that I did and that's just being honest. Mine was very much triggered by trauma at an early age, but there is definitely a genetic factor to it as well. I just hate that almost everytime BPD is brought up in the media in shows such as Criminal Minds, NCIS ect. BPD is made out to make someone pretty evil. It has the the ability to lead someone down a path that can genuinely hurt others around them. (Sadly the people hurt worst by those with BPD are usually the ones that are closest to them). But the disorder is not something that prevents you from having a stable happy life if your committed to the treatment and actually WANT to get better. It's rough but not impossible and I just really appreciate you bringing to light that BPD can be managed and isn't a blanket label of being psychotic. So thank you!
I feel sad and brace myself everytime Danielle says "that lead to the tragic event of today's case..." makes me realize that the ending of each video is not a happy one and someone(or more) is going to lose their life 😢
This case is overwhelmingly heart breaking 💔 Sophie sounds like she was just an amazing person and the way you narrated the story was very respectful and kind. You very quickly became one of my favorite true crime channels and I’m so excited for the podcast! 🖤
Being an avid true crime fan, i HAVE heard this story before. You did a great job on the background, most of which I didn't know. Your respect for the victims of these crimes is outstanding. Thank you for being a voice of compassion in a world with so much awful. ❤
Thank you Danielle, I've been seriously ill and alone, you kept me company until I could mix with people again. You deserve all the success you get. You work hard and do a good job.
Sophie didn’t deserve any of this. Goes to show you that narcissistic people will do anything to get that one person back! And the description of the female killer reminds me of AH. When the sister said she was “afraid AH would kill JD” she wasn’t lying.
I was going to say that too about Sabrina. Played her partner for her own evil motives. I can't there are some out there that are on AH's side and actually think she was abused. That is SOOO Ridiculous, They obviously didn't take the time to listen to the tapes ,, granted they're very hard to get through - but they truly expose her warped mind disorder - I can't imagine how much JCD regretted going home knowing she'd be there. She's a Really Sick, Sick person and She needs to be kept a VERY CLOSE EYE on her, She's liable to pop up at any one of Johnny's places unannounced, and God only knows what in head !! And I know this entire battle with her , HAS to have taken a bit of a toll on him. Even with her gone, he likely stillllll hears her chalkboard voice! Her voice reminds me of nails on a chalkboard, and he likely still pictures her stomping around in her fits and hateful rage towards him. If you've ever been thru a horrible breakup even close - you know what I'm talking about. JCD tried so very hard to avoid confrontation, but she cut him off MOST the time, or try to change his around, she'd play sweet for few minits, (love me Johnny !) and before he could say anything - she'd be calling him shitty names, UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH ! It's just awful for ANYONE to have to go through ! She did hate him, you can hear it in her voice. ... He did more to represent victims of ABUSE, Than she did, He brought out ALL the TRUTHS. She screwed herself. LMFNAO !!!
I actually agree reminds me of AH definitely!!! I also watched another video by Danielle recently where she covered a different case and the female killer was crying in the interrogation and as soon as the officers would walk out her face would go straight and she would stop crying. It really reminded me of AH in the court room when she was "crying" but there were no tears she was just making crying faces but then someone would say "OBJECTION" or something and she would stop and her face would go straight and then she was asked a question again and back to the "tears" it was insane.
When someone tortures another person or animal, that person should be tortured in the exact same way. Same goes for murderers, just my opinion. Poor Sophie RIP Sam is a pathetic POS and naturally, the police dropped the ball
@@Lez_awake That's kinda what I was thinking, you'd have to hire psychos to get rid of psychos...like Dexter. It doesn't quite add up, but I do sympathize with the sentiment. That poor, poor, girl.
Nah. That’s not the type of trauma I want to give the person who would be employed as a torturer. And those who would potentially like it are even worse.
OH MY GOD!!! I'm a new sub, and I have to watch your channel. The fact you got a little emotional in your "Thank you", touched my heart I adore your channel! I'm 42, my Mom passed away from cancer. She was the makeup person. Thanks to you I get what I love (true crime) & make up application tips.
This case should be used whenever people ask why a woman didn't leave an abusive man(and in asking, they also imply the woman is exaggerating or lying). This is a case where there is obviously no doubt as to what happened to this poor girl or as to who did it. It illustrates well the fact that staying or leaving stops being a choice once you're isolated and fully controlled.
I just want to say that it is so amazing to see your progression and how far you have come! You seem like such a wonderful person and you should be so proud of yourself❤️ Thank you for such amazing content!
She has hands down become my favorite of all of the ones I listen to. I do love other You Tubers, but if all of them dropped a video at the same time, I will always watch hers first. Plus her makeup is always flawless.
@@HLJRMAI1 there are so many that are easy to listen to. I love it, really helps me focus while I’m doing things. Stephanie Harlow has very long cases. I’d like to find more Brits though. Georgia Marie has a very calming voice too.
I’ve noticed that too, I feel like it’s a super tragic symbiosis. Narcissists are void of feelings and concern for others and empaths often self neglect because their so concerned for others. The pieces fit perfectly together stacked against the empath. Narcissism is the perfect trap for empaths honestly 😔.
I strong empath will destroy a narcissist. Empath doesn't mean doormat, it simply means you feel things deeply. It also means your stronger than narcissist. All ya have ro do us fight back....its codependent people who fall prey to thr narcissist
Of all the cases Danielle has done, this one breaks my heart completely. I’m literally in tears, b/c I keep putting my daughter in her place😢. Prison is too good for them
I've heard this story so many times and I didn't even recognize it at first because you told it from a completely different angle. Usually people focus only on Sophie and we're left wondering how the heck did Sabrina become like that?? You helped us understand in a way that most people don't. (I still don't understand it.)
Same. I know this story. But I think this is the first time I’ve been in tears for Sophie. This is also the first video I’ve watched of Danielle. Very impressed.
I recognized it just after half way point. Silly girl putting up with it. She didn't have that girl or womens intuition us females normally have growing up, to reconize caustic or dangerous situations.
I think most videos focus on Sophie's perspective because the video makers don't want to "glorify" a murderer by focusing the video on the murderer's life. Like you, I do appreciate learning about the life of the murderer in depth (as well as that of the victim).
There are so many victims in this story. Sophie, Mark, the children. Even sam in the beginning. By the end, he wasn't. I just don't understand how people can do that even if Sabrina legitimately believed this, it would not justify torture or murder
I for one think it's awful that the police don't do anything until there's a dead body. So many times I've heard of abuse happening, but the police do nothing until the person is actually dead. So sad 😞
@Strawberry’s Shortest cake yes should have said you are skinny , we will now help you ... idiots , if she was anorexic or something and the police made mention of her weight , you would all be saying that the police where so uncaring towards her mental health blah blah blah . inside the station in a private room away from the abuser she made zero attempts for the police to step in and lets not forget you all want to defund the police and have police take a knee and be submissive to the people , this is what you get and overworked undermanned, under appreciated / respected police force - yet you all demand demand demand.
When I was younger, about 22, I was almost kidnapped and raped outside an IHOP. Thankfully though I noticed the two guys watching me and I took off running where other people were....the guys were running after me screaming to each other to get her. The cops came, they actually found the guys but told they couldn't do anything to them because they didn't touch me. I literally looked at the police officer and said...I'm so sorry. Next time I'll lay down and let them take advantage of me. I always wondered if these 2 guys went on to try and rake another girl that may not have been able to get away, knowing that it could be prevented if only the police would gave did something that night.
I know this sounds silly considering your content lol but you have no idea how much you’ve helped me get through rough days, I struggle with depression and your personality/ voice has this calming effect on me I am so grateful for 🤗🖤 absolutely love your story telling.
This has touched me more than any other case I've heard you do. The loss of every human life is horrible but the circumstances under this one was taken will stay with me for the rest of my life. That absolute inhumanity of this crime breathtaking. I feel for bad for Sophie's family. I'll be checking out you're new podcast Criminal Makeup! Sounds great!
My sister is married to a narcissist. No matter how many people tell her that she needs to leave, she won’t. All we can do is be there for her and hope she comes to her senses.
Been there took me 6 yrs to get out I ended up on a ventilator for 3 months and had to flee to my Rez for a yr so he couldn’t find me , I’ll pray for your sister to get out safe ❤
Learn about Trauma bond 50 percent of murdered women are killed by their partner and the percent goes up exponentially when leaving. Get on YT and learn about narcissist abuse and Trauma bonds. If it was as easy as simply leaving, everyone would do it.....
When I was faced with a horrible situation I thankfully listened and escaped. It was not easy but I knew it was hard for people to tell me the truth. I had to face facts and get therapy.
I was in a narcissistic relationship for 15 years and it was hell. However I finally found the courage to escape and I hope that your sister does. I am keeping her in my thoughts.
I left an abusive and violent relationship with a narcissist like this! Awful! Took me so so many times to actually LEAVE! Spent 5 years with him 🙄They gaslight you into thinking it’s all YOUR fault. On the heels of it I’m studying to be a counsellor to help other people who are in the same situation I found myself in!! This woman is just awful! Another great video Danielle thank you 🙏🏻 x
Thank you for turning your era of terror into a shining beacon for others in need! The world needs more counsellors who have lived beyond the textbooks, as it is life's experiences that truly grows the heart and soul... It's through life's challenges where we learn patience and understanding, we learn to be comfortable feeling empathy towards others and it teaches us how to be relatable, all traits that are crucial to being a good counsellor. Textbooks are good, yes, but alone they only feed the brain... All the best in your future endeavors and thank you for sharing your story, Ruth!
@@leonessity awe Dawn! 🥹🥰 Thank you so much for your kind words! That means so very much to me . I hope you are well! Lots of love from Northen Ireland ❤️❤️
What an enormous tragedy! Sophie is such a great loss for society because of her caring nature. For sure she would mean a lot to children and animals. And those monsters took that all away. I only can hope that they will have a terrible time in prison. Thank you for covering this case, Danielle! ❤️
Jesus, that is literally breaking my heart. I'm French too and I've been living in the UK for many years. I started as an au pair like Sophie. I remember the case but I've never heard the details. Literally in tears right now. How can these people exist, it really makes me feel sick. Poor poor Sophie.
I just love this young woman's videos as she gives us only REAL, true life stories! Danielle speaks with such clarity plus she has a GREAT sounding voice which is so very pleasing to the ear as well! I also LOVE HER for the fact that she has SO MUCH EMPATHY💞 for the victims & survivors of her crime stories! I am GIVING her KUDOS 🥰 for putting these factual stories out here for us to learn & discover because otherwise I truly believe we would never hear about them AT ALL! Thank you Sweetheart for the "mini-visual make-up lesson" too! You are SO BEAUTIFUL, CREATIVE, & intelligent, Danielle Kristy & your make-up is absolutely lovely!😻 ALSO, Congrats 🎉 on your Podcast! Well Done 🎁🥰🙋♀️
You getting emotional over your podcast announcement made me teary eye! I love that you are growing and you are doing amazing! Keep kicking ass and taking names! You’re hard work is paying off! Funny that you covered a girl who was seeing women as other rivals, crazy! Because life is so much better when we fix each other crowns and cheer for other women successes!
it's easier to be nice than to be mean too. to hurt others and take advantage of them would make anyone worth the time of day feel horrible. it's much better to see people smile and (hopefully) take kindness to heart.
Seeing case like this makes me realise how is important to take care of mental health. Poor Sophie 🥺 may her soul rest in peace. Mark was very lucky to walk away from Sabrina. Concerning Sam there's no word to describe him. Sabrina is a sick person who unfortunately will never admit it.
This is so incredibly heartbreaking. Sophie did nothing wrong she was completely innocent. Sabrina is truly a sick person I hope she'll live to regret her actions for the rest of her life in prison As for Sophie, I hope she's fine wherever she is and that her family will be alright
Oh man when your voiced quivered I started crying! I want to thank you so much for all of the content you put out, your hard work really shows. You are one of my top three favorite RUclips's that I watch next to Baylee Sarian and Kendall Ray. Thank you so much for all that you do for us, I'm so proud of you 💜
@@colleensnyder7345 thank you so much for the suggestion. True crime fanatics gotta look out for each other. I’m sure we’re all already running out of true crime to watch😂
Yes ! I cried too! Sherrilyn Dale is also Amazing if you haven't checked her out. She and Danielle are alot alike as far as how down to earth and real they are. Both very compassionate and funny and beautiful. Oh and Stephanie Harlowe has great deep dives if you like long cases
I’ve been binge watching your videos. They’re so well done and I like to hear your thoughts on the cases. I don’t know if you’ve covered the case of Shawn Hornbeck yet but it’s a fascinating one. It’s local to my area so it really hit home with me when it first hit the news but now that I have children I’m mortified when I think of what Shawn went through. He was kidnapped after school one day and held captive and sexually abused for YEARS. The most shocking bits of the story are that he was held captive relatively close to his town. Also, he was so mentally and psychologically abused that he believed his family didn’t want him. He was allowed to play outside with other kids and even go to a school dance with a neighbor girl! He was brainwashed to believe his mother didn’t love him and didn’t want to find him. :’( The kicker too was that the abuser was the store manager of Imo’s, a very well-known hometown pizza chain here in St. Louis, MO. To my knowledge, when Shawn hit puberty his captor got bored and kidnapped a younger boy. That’s when a slip up happened and the whole thing was exposed. Both boys made it out alive. I believe Shawn now works at a factory close to my home. My sister’s-in-law fiancé claims to have known Shawn for a short time and said he recalls Shawn bragging about liking the sexual abuse, but I don’t believe what he says. I do know it’s common for boys who are sexually abused to grow up to be homosexuals, but to say that Shawn “liked” the abuse was just too much for me. I told him to shut up and that he doesn’t know the first thing about what happened in that apartment during those years.
After seeing the picture of Sophie, I burst into tears. I couldn't hold it when Mark said he had a lump on his throat after seeing that picture of Sophie. May she continue to rest in peace.
I love this girl because she does cases that we in the United States have not heard! Great job Danielle keep bringing up those cases that don't get any attention!
I remember when this happened and the coverage, so horrific- seeing some of the video footage and photographs, it's unimaginable what she went through.
I've got to say I haven't really cried all that much over the stories I've listened to about true crime, but this had me crying in a horrible pain for Sophie. That poor girl was so obviously a beautiful person and had a heart and soul of pure gold 💛
Just learned about your podcasts. I haven't listened to podcasts before but I have become addicted to your RUclips channel. It keeps me thankful for what little I had as a child. Thank you for bringing these cases to light.
I remember hearing this case a few years ago and it broke my heart what she went through. But I didn't know about Mark and his feelings at the end and carrying a photo. I can't even begin to imagine how he feels You tell this story very well! Thank you x
So very sad.. Got a lump in my throat to think how Sophie's parents and family must have felt.. Hearing how their child, was abused, and no one to turn to... And also Mark.. To live with that guilt of something he was not even aware or?? So so very sad.. Even Sabrina's children that must live with the knowledge of what their mother has done to another human...it breaks my heart 😭😭😭
this case is so heartbreaking, i am so sorry about what happened, she was a kind gentle soul and did not deserve anything that she went through, i also feel sorry for Mark because he did not do anything to deserve the trauma he is going through now
I love your channel 💗 I listen to it while I'm at work & it really helps me get through the day. As a single mom of 4 & an aircraft engineer by day, there isn't much I get to do for myself and your channel really helps give me something to look forward to for myself to pass the time. Thanks for that! Your raw emotion makes me love your personality even more as well! Sending love from USA!
This truly breaks my heart!! I can't believe the police didn't pick up on the strange behaviors. Well.. yes I can actually. A lot of police ignore huge red flags. It's usually of no interest until a bigger crime has been committed. Prayers for her soul and her family.
Where were the children when all this was happening to Sophie? Whether there or not they must be traumatised by all this. I truly hope that they, and Sophies family are OK💜 So very sad 😪
I couldn't help but wonder about that the entire time. And where are the children NOW??? Hopefully they are being raised by people who truly love & care about them. And God rest Sophie's soul 🙏.
Love, love, love all you do! I can't wait to listen to the podcast! Keep doing what you're doing girl! I also teared up while you were thanking your fans. You're the kind of youtuber I love to support ❤️❤️❤️
Wow !!!! This totally reminded me of amber (my dog stepped on a 🐝) . The world needs to hear these stories of abusive, narcissistic, toxic women , yes they exist and more men need to speak out. Sending love and prayers 🙏💜
@@jessicawatson7360 They are talking about Amber Heard. You know, this wannabe starlet from Aquaman who accuses Johnny Depp of physically and se*ually assualting her during their marriage. And tbh, I scrolled down to the comments to look for someone pointing that out, because I was thinking the exact same thing. Totally sounds like the Angry Turd XD
Listening to this right after the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case with all Amber's claims of abuse. And I'm just thankful Amber did not go as extreme as Sabrina did...
I had this exact thought. I don't feel like it's a far reach to imagine Amber could have eventually displayed these exact behaviors. It's frankly terrifying.
Thankfully the women's movement bringing awareness to issues has come far enough that false claims do not hurt true victims reporting. Back in the day, a woman's testimony would be discounted because of the false claims of others.
Yay! Heard the news, paused, ran to the podcast to have it up and ready then came back here to listen to this first. I'm so happy!!!! You're the best, Danielle!
I’m so sorry for Sophie.. :’( my heart just aches. I was an Au pair once and my guest mother wasn’t nice at all, I also worked 10h a day and I practically had to beg for my own wage. I couldn’t speak much German at that time, so I couldn’t even complain, I was all alone and scared. Sophie must have been so terrified. I saved all of my wages for flight back home and as soon as my money was enough, I flew back home and yell I QUIT! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! nevertheless I love the kids so much... prob the reason it was hard for me to leave. Rest In Peace Sophie, may heaven bring you peace .. :’(
My heart breaks for Sophie and her parents, who have to live on without their precious daughter. The wickedness in this world is sometimes beyond belief. I hope both of those murderers rot and die in prison.
@@Marie-pr1ss Thank you for your reply Marie! All good in the end. I got out of the difficult situation, got my master's degree, got a job, and live happily and independently now. Sometimes I really miss the kids, but I just don't want to have contact with the family again because I don't want to be reminded of the hurtful times..
@@fammnak852 Glad to know you're doing AMAZINGLY WELL!!! It's nice to see there is a happy ending for good people out there! Hopefully maybe you will get the chance to see the kids again!! Take care much love!💖💖💖
I've been waiting for someone to cover this case. Funnily enough, was thinking about it just yesterday! Thank you Danielle. You are absolutely the best true crime RUclipsr around.
I thought the police were trained to recognize when someone was in distress. At the very least, experience should have brought them to that conclusion, and they should have insisted on more information or an investigation. I certainly hope they learned something from this. That poor girl... my heart breaks for her parents. You're tougher than I am. I can't stop crying.
Exactly, why did they just let her leave with a lady that's accusing her of all these things she said didn't happen. You would think they'd at least ask her questions and try to figure out what's going on!
and with all the cases I've watched so far.... it happened so many times that police just let the criminal go and lives could have been saved if only they did their job better 😔
A year ago I discovered your channel and I was hooked. Seeing your growth makes me so proud! You deserve it, Danielle! Seeing how excited you were about the podcast makes my heart so happy. Wish you all the best!
Ugh this reminds me of my boyfriend’s ex. Physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive. Accused him of being a pedo, He was driving her to work and she grabbed the steering wheel and tried to turn into oncoming traffic. And they have a kid together, she could’ve left them an orphan. Just a horrible person.
Listening to this, it makes me think of what my dad is dealing with right now. It's absolutely terrifying and the legal system is so flawed. If you're with a narcissist, please run away as fast as you can.
What a heartbreaking case. Thank you for telling us Sophie’s story, Danielle. I’m doubly surprised not to have heard of it as I’m French and live in London myself (and did at the time too), I hate that this wasn’t discussed more. May she rest in peace. By the way - LOVE your first exclusive podcast episode!!
this literally makes me SO happy i love watching your vids but hate that youtube stops if i need to use a different app. can’t wait to listen to your podcast whilst driving or working etc
You're a great story teller! Unfortunately, these are terrible events that demolished many families but thank you for your compassion. May the families gain peace and justice. God bless.
I was married to a Narcissist for 30 years. I barely made it out alive. He shot me and handicapped for life. I now have PTSD, anxiety disorder, depression. I do not leave my home. I have to have everything delivered. This case sounds almost familiar. Very well done Kirsty and congratulations on your podcasts 🎉💞
I'm so glad that you managed to get out of that situation, that must have been really scary to try to get away from. You are so so stromg. ❤️
@Susan Horn sending you ❤️🙏🏻😘
I'm so sorry. Unless you've been there, it's hard to understand how we get stuck with narcissists for years.
I wish you nothing but the best in life. I pray that you are able to heal and grow into the woman you are meant to be. You deserve to be happy and loved. Surround yourself with loving, helping, healing and supporting people. Sending you virtual hugs ❤️❤️❤️
so happy that youre no longer in that situation. wishing you healing
Damn, knowing that Mark carries a picture of her really breaks my heart. He has so much compassion for a girl he never even met. So many people in this story are in desperate need of serious therapy now.
Narcissists are actual demons that traumatise everything and everyone around them. more awareness should be spread about them. Poor sophie ❤
Sabrina was in desperate need of a pretty bad jail....
I know, right? That poor girl who never harmed a soul. She didn't deserve any of it. People can be so vile.
@@sadikakhan1385
They do.
Just one person can break so many hearts.
Or in this case, it was two monsters wrecking the lives of strangers.
I feel so bad for him as well, if you've seen that interview of him, he's clearly still suffering over Sophie's demise and the pain in his eyes is real. I hope Sophie is resting, so terrible what happened to her :(
The pictures of Sophie made me cry. She just looks so sweet and innocent, her smile was so warm and kind. RIP sweet girl
Me too. I usually don't cry in these types of videos but this one... made me cry so much... I hope Sophie is in a better place now... and I hope Mark will get his life back. So terrible
The before and after def a tear jerker because wow
Same I instantly cried 😩
Same and when I saw the pic says before her death I bawled. She looked like a dying patient that lost hope in life.
I feel like Sabrina just wanted an “excuse” to hurt someone. I don’t think she truly believed that Sophie did anything. Sabrina is just straight up evil. My heart goes out to Sophie and her family. She seemed like such a kind soul
I feel you are absolutely right about Sabrina,getting power-trips out of hurting someone else,an innocent,really is a sick trait to have..and having bi polar is no excuse.I know people with bipolar who would never hurt anybody else.It’s a label that is totally mis used..
@@pompeysalz2976 yeah I agree! Having bipolar isn’t an excuse. Also, just because someone has bipolar doesn’t make them dangerous, or violent. I’ve known a few people with bipolar. Only one of them was violent, but idk if her bipolar disorder was to blame. I feel like there was something else going on with her. She voiced her fear of killing her partner and how she liked to hurt them. Idk what that is but it’s something extreme

@@pompeysalz2976 I agree with u there. I have friends with bi polar also thst wouldn't hurt an animal never mind a fellow HUMAN x
She's highly paranoid and has imagined an entire relationship between people that have never met. I don't think she wanted an excuse I think she literally believes these things are happening.
Dear Danielle,
I'm listening to you from Germany and I want to compliment you as you are so easy to understand, your pronunciation is so clear that it makes it really easy for people who's native language isn't English, to understand you.
Also, it's very clear that you do a great research on all the cases and I think that's a lot of work, great work! Thank you so much!
No broad vowels or glottal stops (they're, you're, we're, she's, he's, I'm) for Danielle.
Oh yeah, not one r added to words ending in a vowel; shoe -> shoer, deny -> denier, Sabrina -> Sabrinar. Listen to the BBC evening news from London. All (Aller) words end in r. Danielle is precious.

@@klpiatt1972 TRUE CRIME AND MAKEUP COMMUNITY IS THE BEST
Let’s all take a moment of silence for Sophie. She didn’t deserve all this. She’s going to remain in my thoughts and prayers.
I strongly agree with You.
We Will Never Forget Sweet, Precious Sophie.
REST IN PEACE SWEET, BEAUTIFUL ANGEL: SOPHIE.
The poor sweet girl 😢
I used to be like sophie. I can relate to her inability to stick up for herself and get out of there. However, I dealt with a toxic narcissist last year and I eventually had a breakdown, which led to a breakthrough. I no longer fear speaking up for myself when I need to
That's rly good to hear .. my ex had fear to say no to anyone I had to teach her to stand up for herself bcus her parents sisters bros ect just emotionally and physically abandoned her but unfortunately she also had a problem with lying and it was too much to keep us together we ended amicably but I always worry about her :(
I had two. My mom and and my ex-husband. I'd been dealing with that 💩 all my life and I got sick and tired of it. I ended up shooting my ex-husband. I told him he was lucky that I let him live, and if he wanted to continue to live, then he'd best stay away from me. He never bothered me again.
Amen! I'm still working on speaking up for myself but sometimes - thank God - we end up stronger like you. I hope I get there too!
soso proud of you.🥺 sending nothing but love, healing, & good vibes your way, always.🖤🖤
There is no way someone normal can be the way Sophie was, when your life is in danger is not about YOU sticking up for yourself is about realizing danger and leaving to ask for help, idk the age of this Sophie but even a kid of 12 years old could have managed better, clearly she had some health problems.
Shit, I have Borderline Personality Disorder. You'd never find me take advantage of anyone, let alone a seriously vulnerable woman. And then to to torture & murder an innocent soul. I could never.
The image of Sophie is traumatising. My heart breaks for her & all of her loved ones.
Some humans can be so repugnant. They don't deserve life.
i have bpd too, cases like these are so upsetting /: glad we arent all this horrific.
I also have BPD and I left a comment to this video about my thoughts regarding this. Danielle makes a great video as always, my comment is just commentary on Sabrina and BPD. I wanted to bring it up that BPD is a misunderstood diagnosis and though she clearly has it, she’s also a minority in what actions she has taken when it comes to people with BPD.
I’ve been treated successfully with DBT to the amount that I can manage my symptoms very well and I’m very open about my struggles with mental illness. I often speak about how BPD is misunderstood and the stigma around it. Like with many other diagnosis’s I would sum it up like this: the majority of people with mental illness are more likely to be the victim of violence and crime than the perpetrator.
This
This woman was a psychopath which is a million times worse than just a narcissist.
@@MegKampen Oh for sure. A narcissist is on some next level, but extreme psychopathy is a whole nother level. I didn't realise until recently that a lot people blend those with psychopathy & BPD as one. Saying people with BPD are the same as psychopaths. (Not that every psychopath is unhinged).
I heard about this one. There was a local shop owner who fed Sophie on occasion and really tried to help her but she wouldn't say what was wrong. It's very sad.
I heard that from Disturban vid
We truly never know what other ppl are dealing with. Which is why we really all have to make an effort to be kind to each other. Be nice to other humans is such simple common sense, that we sometimes forget it❤🥹🤗
It really feels like everyone in this case failed Sophie. The neighbours, the shop owner, Sophie’s mom, everyone
Narcissistic Personality don't believe anything is wrong that's the sole purpose of their creating false ego and false reality
@@Gymtoshi only sabrina and sam failed her. Her mum had no idea, and obviously the neighbours and shop owners didn't know what was happening. she didn't even speak much english.
As a Psychologist I always say that Narcissism is on a spectrum like many other mental health disorders. To me the end of that spectrum is Sociopathy and even further delusional disorders. This is due to the tendency for narcissist to live in a fantasy (apart of the ego shield). It isn't hard to believe that that fantasy could become delusional thoughts and end in devasting results as in this case.
Please read some Greek philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.😊
@@eochaidhoghachruithnedid you assume that someone with a psych degree would not have read the most BASIC of Greek philosophers? the ones everyone reads in entry level philosophy that every single college student takes to get a degree? 😳🤔🤦♀️
@@rebeccasteinke4357I never had to take a philosophy course when I was in my Psych university program. I mean, I took several because I found them interesting, but it was never a requirement to get a degree at my university...
@seriouskhan So are you saying that APD is part of delusional disorders and further down the line there are more delusional disorders? Is that what u meant ?
Well put❤
I couldn't help but laugh out of pain when you were talking about Sophi's salary and hours worked. I used to be an Au Pair in Switzerland, I was earning 50 francs (41 pounds) a week, working from 6 am till 10 pm, 7 days a week. Taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, and doing EVERYTHING around the house. There were also weeks when they didn't pay me because they couldn't and made me feel bad for wanting my money because they were giving me a roof and food. I'm from Guatemala, I was SOO far from home, didn't speak the language, and had no friends in Switzerland besides 3 years old kids -_-
When I finally got the courage to leave (I lasted 6 months) they took my passport and left me the whole weekend in the apartment with locked doors, they practically kidnapped me. This was in 2013 when I was 18 and I am still traumatized.
These kind of stories should be mentioned more often, being an Au Pair can be amazing but it can also be hell :(
I am Guatemalan too, I am so sorry you had this experience. Its disgusting how people take advantage of others. I hope you can get some therapy and heal. I hope karma gets those people. I pray you are in a better and happier place in your life. Un abrazo muy fuerte
OMG iam VERY surprised you dont have 500 reply comments here , your story is horrible honey I vcant even imagine the fear you must have been thru
but what I dont understand is why these cases dont get known so that the people the monsters who abuse au pairs are put in jail hopefully for many years, something must be done this is 2022 I cannot believe they are free and probably doing tthe same thing to others. iam portuguese and I heard of many stories of immigrants in switzerland the level of racism against just about ANYONE is off the charts, anyone outside of switzerland for them is just garbage no good people not even deemed human, its sad but so true, I lived in the USA for many years and stories like this make me very very upset. I hope some day these monsters start to account for their monstruous acts. excuse my bad english btw
I wish you the very best and lots lots of hapiness you really deserve it
♥♥
I hope you are in a much better place now sweetie ♥️ Pray you can overcome your trauma. You’re so lucky to have been able to get away.
Jesus this story sounds so similar to this case. I’m very sorry you had to deal with that.
So sorry that happend to you.
Seeing Mark almost in tears broke me. You know that he's going to carry that guilt for the rest of his life.
It's a real & horrible thing, and it shows that it left a mark on his spirit by choosing to keep Sophie's picture in his wallet so as to never forget her, and his inadvertent role in her tragic death. Even though none of this was not his fault. You are absolutely right that he will carry that guilt for the rest of his life. My heart hurts for him, and even more so for Sophie & the family and friends she leaves behind. All because of the actions of TWO MONSTERS.
As a survivor of domestic violence I understand Sophie being scared to leave. I’m sure she was also concerned for the children. She loved kids and they were her life. While she was there she made sure the kids ate and were well taken care of. It’s so sad that this world has lost another beautiful angel because of the greed of two evil people. My heart and prayers go out to her family. Even though it’s not her fault, I’m sure Sophia’s mother blames her self every day for not flying in and taking her daughter out of that environment.
I’m so sorry for you Heather
As an aupair this case really hits close to home. I can't imagine the pain and suffering she went through leading up to her death. She was a gentle and loving soul who was blamed, abused, and taken advantage of. That picture is truly haunting, and I hope she's resting easily now.
I wanted to be an au pair, but after finding out what happened to Sophie and then hearing other horror stories of nannies being abused by their employers, I decided to finish school in my home country and just move to the country I wanted to move to.
What’s it like being an AuPair?
Sophie never had a chance. Sabrina's narcissism could never let her go. She HAD to destroy her.. she was everything she's not and she hated how she was a shining light, the kids probably adored her and Sabrina was jealous of the bond she never bothered to build and more
You can just look at Sophie's pictures & see she was a kind, beautiful soul. This case is absolutely so heartbreaking.. My condolences to her family. RIP 😞
The flowers in her hair…..
😢
And you can look at the pictures of Sabrina or others of her kind, without even knowing anything about them, and straight up see that they're of no good at all. A woman who LOOKS like a bi*ch - IS a bi*ch, a woman who looks like a witch - is a witch, end of story.
Thank you for telling Sophie’s story. I do not understand why these perpetrators have a possibility of getting out of prison ever. Life sentences should be true life sentences. They deliberately and cruelly took the life of a true innocent- life outside of prison should never be an option for these monsters.
I was an au pair in North London at that time and the case was massively known in the au pair community. It felt so scary being an au pair and a few people did decide to either come back home to their country or not even start their job as an au pair because of this case.
Rip Sophie ❤️
That's heartbreaking!
I went to Ireland as an au pair in march this year and I felt so scared and nervous being in a new environment, and I went home because the family was quite awful, so I can't even imagine how scared Sophie must have been.
My ex husband would hold me hostage in my own home for days at a time relentlessly accusing me of all sorts of things that simply did not happen...causing my children so much stress and missed meals and even missed school promising that if I just "confessed" everything would be fine and I would be "forgiven".....he would even bring my children into the conversation and have them beg me to just "please tell daddy the truth" so they could eat and go to bed...of course OF COURSE after days of literal physical and mental torture where you can't even seem to keep your own kids safe in their own home....the false confession inevitably comes out. And then the TRUE nightmare begins
This man has now been in prison for 13 years and is being released in less than 90 days. I'm terrified. He still obsesses over these "confessions" ...I live w permanent physical damage and emotional scars. The police were much less than helpful then.
This type of personality is not to be trifled with.
I feel so so sad for Sophie's parents and also for Sabrina's children.
My guilt and shame for not being strong enough to get away from my situation still is a huge issue for me. Especially as I hear the echos of that trauma still effecting my children in different ways as they grow into adults(we actually lost one of our precious sons in 2018 to an overdose)there just never seems to be truly happy endings to these types of stories. My hope is now that I am a grandmother....I will at least be able to do everything in my power to prevent this type of chaos in the lives of my amazing grand babies

Time to go into witness protection program, maybe change your name. Move.
I wouldn't stay where I was feeling threatened by this guy. If you're broke, maybe do a GoFundMe; explain to people why you're doing it. Good luck. Our court systems let the worst offenders outweigh too soon. I think that's the case in TOO MANY countries.
Abusers generally don't quit without extreme motivation, IF EVER. They escalate until they destroy their target.
And people who THREATEN to kill OFTEN DO. Some people are just NOT fixable. If not kept in prison for life they should be kept in a mental institution for life.
We need more common sense in our world.
I’m so sorry that happens to you, and I hope your safe now
Don't ever think badly of yourself for not getting out immediately. Narcissistic people have ways of twisting things and gaslighting their victims that make it hard to leave. Its even harder when you have kids.
You are a survivor and I'm so glad you and your family got out.
Am so sorry you went through all of that. Wish you Great times with your Grand Children.
Omg. God bless you and be with you.
When Danielle starts talking about the podcast and saying thank you to everyone when she starts tearing up u can totally see how much it means to her i absolutely love when a RUclipsr shows how great full they really are xx
Thank you everyone for all the likes never thought it would get this many likes ❤️😍
I have never watched any of her videos before and literally had no clue who she was until I started watching this video! When I saw her tearing up, I felt the exact way you do and I literally subscribed to her channel because it's nice to see someone who cares this much and is that passionate about what she is doing!! Plus her video is really well done and researched and I will also be subscribing to her podcast as well!! I've been looking for new podcasts to listen too so I'm so happy I came across Danielle's channel!!!!
OMG these people are disgusting and absolutely evil!! May they rot in hell for what they did to poor Sophie, she did NOT deserve this. I also feel bad for Sabrina's 2 innocent children. I hope they're being taken care of and being raised differently than Sabrina was so they'll be better than she ever was!
Mark is such a good man you can tell when someone is so empathetic to someone they don't even know so sad 😞
He made me cry! I hope he can find some kind of peace, I can’t imagine how he must feel. Of course it’s not his fault but the fact that he was used as a reason to torture someone is just horrifying.
I've been a silent subscriber all this time, but I just want to say congratulations Danielle on your podcast! I love the way you storytell, and I can't wait to listen to you every Thursday.
I don’t want to minimize the poor loss of Sophie, but I really hope the children are okay. I can’t imagine what they witnessed and experienced as well. I hope they will be provided with assistance and therapy as they grow up. Rest In Peace Sophie, and my love goes out to her family ❤️
I don't think you are minimizing, they are victims as well!
Yeah, the children also had to go through all of this. Not to mention that given who their mother is, I can only imagine their relationship with her was just as bad.
Definitely not they are massive victims in this. They weren’t loved. They had to deal with a paranoid mother who since she abused her lovers, who aren’t blood, was probably hurting them too. Maybe she was paranoid the kids would tell these outsiders and is the real reason she kept becoming “paranoid”.
Maybe these were all lies, maybe she didn’t want the kids to confide in Sophie but this coke human seen how she could manipulate her and had to find a different way to get rid of her. For all we know those kids were next
💔💔💔I feel like Sophie loved children so much that her passing is how she managed to free the children as well from that life with those demons.. it’s so devastating 😔
Good point! Their nanny was being tortured in the house. I hope they had a good home for the rest of their childhood.
I was in a toxic abusive relationship for a long time with my son’s “dad”. I’ve been single 5 years to heal from it but it’s so hard getting out of. You don’t know how deep you’re in until you’re out. It takes some a long time and i truly feel for Sofie. I know her story and it’s tragic. I hope she didn’t feel pain.
I absolutely underwhere your coming from. I have been single for 5 years also from my ex husband. Now he uses the kids to hurt me. Right now we are going to court for custody and it is ruff. Sofia didn't deserve what happened. So sad
It’s so true re - not knowing how deep you’re in. Nor did I until I ended up in the ICU. Bravo for extracting yourself! It gets better I promise.
Nobody here is really mentioning Ouissem's role here.
He was just as abusive and manipulative. He sent police on a wild goose chase telling them they had been at a neighbour's house when this occured so it couldn't possibly have been them.
Specifically, my house. Was a bit of a shock when my dad was questioned, as we have never even met them.
That's crazy!
Whoa
Who is he???
Ouissem? Her partner in crime.
That's absolutely crazy
I feel sorry for Sophie and those children. I hope the children are OK. I can’t imagine the trauma they went through just the moment the were born having a mother like that. Does anyone know anything about the kids?
@@szilviaembers818 you know, I could definitely understand how this could happen! A kind person like Sophie would be worried about them enough to not want to leave them.
I wonder to how the kids are, who is raising them now?
I wonder if they witnessed the torture or murder. That must be traumatic to witness, especially a caretaker dear to them. Heartbreaking all around.
I was in a relationship with a girl who suffered from Delusional Jealousy, it turned horrific, she was adamant I was sleeping with people from my work, her work, my friends wife's, cousins, just anyone, her proof of these so called affairs were absolutely bizarre. I couldnt get out of it as she said she would tell everyone what I was doing (but it was all in her mind). The trouble she caused was mind blowing. One day I just had enough and walked away, she promised she'd kill me, that was nearly 3 years ago. I still look over my shoulder to this day.
I found out that her previous boyfriend had beat her up after she was accusing him of sleeping with his own sister. (this would obviously be one of her delusions), I don't condone his actions at all, but wow I can see how she would have got him to his breaking point. I also found out that her boyfriend before had done the same, no idea why, but I could imagine.
I pray for the next guy who gets involved with her. She is so sweet and loving for the first few months, but when she starts her toxicity, God help them.
If she found someone who themselves exhibited toxic jealousy they could balance each other out. Or they will explode into mutual violence.
@@xanderderrick6779 I think someone will .....
She sounds in need of serious mental health services. Paranoia and delusions can be a sign of some deeper mental condition. Unfortunately the person suffering with mental health issues will not be likely to seek the help they so desperately need
They should be put to sleep, there is no cure, pointless wastes of air. who wreck perfectly good peoples lives.
So glad you got out. Well done. Some never do. I think of all those still stuck in the neverending nightmare of the person they loves delusion.
Well done you.... I guarentee you she's moved on to another victim long ago
I had tears in my eyes when I saw the picture of Sophie looking frail, they destroyed someone's life to the point that they killed her for their own satisfaction, evil evil people!! Thank you.
She's evil, point blank. They both are, in fact. I'm simply revolted by this animosity towards this young woman. 🤮🤮🤬.
My heart goes out to Sophie, her mother and Mark. This is heartbreaking.
I hope Sabrina and Sam spend the rest of their lives behind bars, which, unfortunately, is still a better then what they did to Sophie.
I would just like to add how heartbreaking these stories are and cannot get my head around how people can afflict the sorts of ferocious attacks and abuse. My heart goes out to Sophies family and to all families that have suffered at the hands of these people.
As if hearing the story wasn’t bad enough, seeing the pic of Sophie’s frail body truly broke my heart. SMH. So many evil people in the world.
I have heard of this case, but not in so much detail! Sabrina’s actions still make no sense but I had no idea that she had such a long history of being so terrible. Also, as someone in the US, I’m actually impressed that the UK’s ‘police dropped the ball with this’ scenario is still better than how US police handle SA claims.
For real! I had a similar thought!
Oh my god, being from France I heard of this story when it happened in 2017, it was a big commotion here. But I didn't recognize the story when Danielle started telling it, I connected everything during the video. You told it with so much more detail, I learned so much, thank you! And that photo of Sophie is terrible, media didn't realease it here in France.
I didn't realise it was this story until Sophie's name was mentioned. Then I knew exactly who it was.
It's so rare to actually see the genuien appreciation for support on a RUclips channel. I love these videos because of the empathy displayed when she talks about cases. You deserve all the support!
Thank you for actually stating this!!!
I'm also diagnosed with BPD and have been very successful in my treatment. It's not perfect, but I'm light-years ahead of where I started when I entered therapy more than 20 years ago. Although a struggle, most people with BPD do things that are self destructive, although they do actually have rage outburst. I know that I did and that's just being honest. Mine was very much triggered by trauma at an early age, but there is definitely a genetic factor to it as well.
I just hate that almost everytime BPD is brought up in the media in shows such as Criminal Minds, NCIS ect. BPD is made out to make someone pretty evil. It has the the ability to lead someone down a path that can genuinely hurt others around them. (Sadly the people hurt worst by those with BPD are usually the ones that are closest to them). But the disorder is not something that prevents you from having a stable happy life if your committed to the treatment and actually WANT to get better. It's rough but not impossible and I just really appreciate you bringing to light that BPD can be managed and isn't a blanket label of being psychotic. So thank you!
@@chaunielynn
Hi
You are very brave to talk about your BPD.
Well done for choosing the path of treatment, I wish you well.
I feel sad and brace myself everytime Danielle says "that lead to the tragic event of today's case..." makes me realize that the ending of each video is not a happy one and someone(or more) is going to lose their life 😢
This case is overwhelmingly heart breaking 💔 Sophie sounds like she was just an amazing person and the way you narrated the story was very respectful and kind. You very quickly became one of my favorite true crime channels and I’m so excited for the podcast! 🖤
Yesss the longer the video the better my Sunday is! Thank you Danielle👏🏼 This one looks like it’s gonna be a total handful…
Yes I love them being on Sundays when I have time to relax and take them in.
Me too
I concur ❣️
Being an avid true crime fan, i HAVE heard this story before. You did a great job on the background, most of which I didn't know. Your respect for the victims of these crimes is outstanding. Thank you for being a voice of compassion in a world with so much awful. ❤
Thank you Danielle, I've been seriously ill and alone, you kept me company until I could mix with people again. You deserve all the success you get. You work hard and do a good job.
Sophie didn’t deserve any of this. Goes to show you that narcissistic people will do anything to get that one person back!
And the description of the female killer reminds me of AH. When the sister said she was “afraid AH would kill JD” she wasn’t lying.
I was going to say that too about Sabrina. Played her partner for her own evil motives. I can't there are some out there that are on AH's side and actually think she was abused. That is SOOO Ridiculous, They obviously didn't take the time to listen to the tapes ,, granted they're very hard to get through - but they truly expose her warped mind disorder - I can't imagine how much JCD regretted going home knowing she'd be there. She's a Really Sick, Sick person and She needs to be kept a VERY CLOSE EYE on her, She's liable to pop up at any one of Johnny's places unannounced, and God only knows what in head !! And I know this entire battle with her , HAS to have taken a bit of a toll on him. Even with her gone, he likely stillllll hears her chalkboard voice! Her voice reminds me of nails on a chalkboard, and he likely still pictures her stomping around in her fits and hateful rage towards him. If you've ever been thru a horrible breakup even close - you know what I'm talking about. JCD tried so very hard to avoid confrontation, but she cut him off MOST the time, or try to change his around, she'd play sweet for few minits, (love me Johnny !) and before he could say anything - she'd be calling him shitty names, UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH ! It's just awful for ANYONE to have to go through ! She did hate him, you can hear it in her voice. ... He did more to represent victims of ABUSE, Than she did, He brought out ALL the TRUTHS. She screwed herself. LMFNAO !!!
My thoughts exactly
I actually agree reminds me of AH definitely!!! I also watched another video by Danielle recently where she covered a different case and the female killer was crying in the interrogation and as soon as the officers would walk out her face would go straight and she would stop crying. It really reminded me of AH in the court room when she was "crying" but there were no tears she was just making crying faces but then someone would say "OBJECTION" or something and she would stop and her face would go straight and then she was asked a question again and back to the "tears" it was insane.
I said exactly the same. It was like they followed the same hand book. Thank good different endings
I was thinking the same thing. AH seem to me to be a narcissist.
This was one of the saddest, most devastating stories I've ever heard. RIP Sophie.
Same :(
When someone tortures another person or animal, that person should be tortured in the exact same way. Same goes for murderers, just my opinion. Poor Sophie RIP
Sam is a pathetic POS and naturally, the police dropped the ball
Yes they should be given same treatment like poor Sofie who had such sbbig heart. Losers
Who would want to do it though. 😔
@@gingerhansen1902 the Mafia! Just kidding…. I believe there is a special place in hell for evil people like that
@@Lez_awake That's kinda what I was thinking, you'd have to hire psychos to get rid of psychos...like Dexter. It doesn't quite add up, but I do sympathize with the sentiment. That poor, poor, girl.
Nah. That’s not the type of trauma I want to give the person who would be employed as a torturer. And those who would potentially like it are even worse.
OH MY GOD!!! I'm a new sub, and I have to watch your channel. The fact you got a little emotional in your "Thank you", touched my heart I adore your channel! I'm 42, my Mom passed away from cancer. She was the makeup person. Thanks to you I get what I love (true crime) & make up application tips.
This case should be used whenever people ask why a woman didn't leave an abusive man(and in asking, they also imply the woman is exaggerating or lying). This is a case where there is obviously no doubt as to what happened to this poor girl or as to who did it. It illustrates well the fact that staying or leaving stops being a choice once you're isolated and fully controlled.
I just want to say that it is so amazing to see your progression and how far you have come! You seem like such a wonderful person and you should be so proud of yourself❤️ Thank you for such amazing content!
She has hands down become my favorite of all of the ones I listen to. I do love other You Tubers, but if all of them dropped a video at the same time, I will always watch hers first. Plus her makeup is always flawless.
@@HLJRMAI1 there are so many that are easy to listen to. I love it, really helps me focus while I’m doing things. Stephanie Harlow has very long cases. I’d like to find more Brits though. Georgia Marie has a very calming voice too.
OMG! Poor Sophie! My thoughts and prayers go out to Sophie and her family! What a beautiful soul she was! So sweet, so innocent! ❤️🙏✌🏻😢
This case breaks my heart. I can't.
Its very common for empaths like Sophie to endup in the claws of narcissists, but this one is really tragic, it made me really sad.
I’ve noticed that too, I feel like it’s a super tragic symbiosis. Narcissists are void of feelings and concern for others and empaths often self neglect because their so concerned for others. The pieces fit perfectly together stacked against the empath. Narcissism is the perfect trap for empaths honestly 😔.
I strong empath will destroy a narcissist.
Empath doesn't mean doormat, it simply means you feel things deeply. It also means your stronger than narcissist. All ya have ro do us fight back....its codependent people who fall prey to thr narcissist
Of all the cases Danielle has done, this one breaks my heart completely. I’m literally in tears, b/c I keep putting my daughter in her place😢. Prison is too good for them
Me too. She was so pure and those two were literally monters 💔
I've heard this story so many times and I didn't even recognize it at first because you told it from a completely different angle. Usually people focus only on Sophie and we're left wondering how the heck did Sabrina become like that?? You helped us understand in a way that most people don't. (I still don't understand it.)
Same. I know this story. But I think this is the first time I’ve been in tears for Sophie. This is also the first video I’ve watched of Danielle. Very impressed.
Yeah I was thinking the same.
I recognized it just after half way point. Silly girl putting up with it. She didn't have that girl or womens intuition us females normally have growing up, to reconize caustic or dangerous situations.
I think most videos focus on Sophie's perspective because the video makers don't want to "glorify" a murderer by focusing the video on the murderer's life. Like you, I do appreciate learning about the life of the murderer in depth (as well as that of the victim).
Same
That picture of Sophie after the beatings etc. I can't get it out my head, absolutely broke my heart seeing her like that.
This case really haunts me. Seeing her picture before the interrogation and during it is really chilling.
I got chills as well…💔
I can't imagine that loss. My daughter is 20 and this hurts my heart so much.
There are so many victims in this story. Sophie, Mark, the children. Even sam in the beginning. By the end, he wasn't.
I just don't understand how people can do that even if Sabrina legitimately believed this, it would not justify torture or murder
I for one think it's awful that the police don't do anything until there's a dead body. So many times I've heard of abuse happening, but the police do nothing until the person is actually dead. So sad 😞
It is sad but this isn’t what happened in this case, the police didn’t know anything about her and had no way of knowing anything.
@@wonderpixie512 This is true, I was just saying that in general the police don't do something until someone dies. 😞
@@lady_k5588 you should become a cop, since you are perfect and will help everyone , the force needs you
@Strawberry’s Shortest cake yes should have said you are skinny , we will now help you ... idiots , if she was anorexic or something and the police made mention of her weight , you would all be saying that the police where so uncaring towards her mental health blah blah blah . inside the station in a private room away from the abuser she made zero attempts for the police to step in and lets not forget you all want to defund the police and have police take a knee and be submissive to the people , this is what you get and overworked undermanned, under appreciated / respected police force - yet you all demand demand demand.
When I was younger, about 22, I was almost kidnapped and raped outside an IHOP. Thankfully though I noticed the two guys watching me and I took off running where other people were....the guys were running after me screaming to each other to get her. The cops came, they actually found the guys but told they couldn't do anything to them because they didn't touch me. I literally looked at the police officer and said...I'm so sorry. Next time I'll lay down and let them take advantage of me. I always wondered if these 2 guys went on to try and rake another girl that may not have been able to get away, knowing that it could be prevented if only the police would gave did something that night.
I know this sounds silly considering your content lol but you have no idea how much you’ve helped me get through rough days, I struggle with depression and your personality/ voice has this calming effect on me I am so grateful for 🤗🖤 absolutely love your story telling.
This has touched me more than any other case I've heard you do. The loss of every human life is horrible but the circumstances under this one was taken will stay with me for the rest of my life. That absolute inhumanity of this crime breathtaking. I feel for bad for Sophie's family. I'll be checking out you're new podcast Criminal Makeup! Sounds great!
Me too..absolutely heartbreaking
My sister is married to a narcissist. No matter how many people tell her that she needs to leave, she won’t. All we can do is be there for her and hope she comes to her senses.
Been there took me 6 yrs to get out I ended up on a ventilator for 3 months and had to flee to my Rez for a yr so he couldn’t find me , I’ll pray for your sister to get out safe ❤
Learn about Trauma bond
50 percent of murdered women are killed by their partner and the percent goes up exponentially when leaving.
Get on YT and learn about narcissist abuse and Trauma bonds. If it was as easy as simply leaving, everyone would do it.....
When I was faced with a horrible situation I thankfully listened and escaped. It was not easy but I knew it was hard for people to tell me the truth. I had to face facts and get therapy.
I was in a narcissistic relationship for 15 years and it was hell. However I finally found the courage to escape and I hope that your sister does. I am keeping her in my thoughts.
Let’s hope your sister finds a way out before it’s too late!
I left an abusive and violent relationship with a narcissist like this! Awful! Took me so so many times to actually LEAVE! Spent 5 years with him 🙄They gaslight you into thinking it’s all YOUR fault. On the heels of it I’m studying to be a counsellor to help other people who are in the same situation I found myself in!!
This woman is just awful! Another great video Danielle thank you 🙏🏻 x
Thank you for turning your era of terror into a shining beacon for others in need! The world needs more counsellors who have lived beyond the textbooks, as it is life's experiences that truly grows the heart and soul... It's through life's challenges where we learn patience and understanding, we learn to be comfortable feeling empathy towards others and it teaches us how to be relatable, all traits that are crucial to being a good counsellor. Textbooks are good, yes, but alone they only feed the brain... All the best in your future endeavors and thank you for sharing your story, Ruth!
@@leonessity awe Dawn! 🥹🥰 Thank you so much for your kind words! That means so very much to me . I hope you are well! Lots of love from Northen Ireland ❤️❤️
What an enormous tragedy! Sophie is such a great loss for society because of her caring nature. For sure she would mean a lot to children and animals. And those monsters took that all away. I only can hope that they will have a terrible time in prison.
Thank you for covering this case, Danielle! ❤️
Jesus, that is literally breaking my heart. I'm French too and I've been living in the UK for many years. I started as an au pair like Sophie. I remember the case but I've never heard the details. Literally in tears right now. How can these people exist, it really makes me feel sick. Poor poor Sophie.
I just love this young woman's videos as she gives us only REAL, true life stories! Danielle speaks with such clarity plus she has a GREAT sounding voice which is so very pleasing to the ear as well! I also LOVE HER for the fact that she has SO MUCH EMPATHY💞 for the victims & survivors of her crime stories! I am GIVING her KUDOS 🥰 for putting these factual stories out here for us to learn & discover because otherwise I truly believe we would never hear about them AT ALL! Thank you Sweetheart for the "mini-visual make-up lesson" too! You are SO BEAUTIFUL, CREATIVE, & intelligent, Danielle Kristy & your make-up is absolutely lovely!😻 ALSO, Congrats 🎉 on your Podcast! Well Done 🎁🥰🙋♀️
You getting emotional over your podcast announcement made me teary eye! I love that you are growing and you are doing amazing!
Keep kicking ass and taking names! You’re hard work is paying off!
Funny that you covered a girl who was seeing women as other rivals, crazy! Because life is so much better when we fix each other crowns and cheer for other women successes!
it's easier to be nice than to be mean too. to hurt others and take advantage of them would make anyone worth the time of day feel horrible. it's much better to see people smile and (hopefully) take kindness to heart.
Wow, Sophie must have been so scared, especially when they isolated her. I feel so incredibly bad for her.
Seeing case like this makes me realise how is important to take care of mental health. Poor Sophie 🥺 may her soul rest in peace. Mark was very lucky to walk away from Sabrina. Concerning Sam there's no word to describe him. Sabrina is a sick person who unfortunately will never admit it.
This is so incredibly heartbreaking. Sophie did nothing wrong she was completely innocent. Sabrina is truly a sick person I hope she'll live to regret her actions for the rest of her life in prison
As for Sophie, I hope she's fine wherever she is and that her family will be alright
Oh man when your voiced quivered I started crying! I want to thank you so much for all of the content you put out, your hard work really shows.

I’ve been binge watching your videos. They’re so well done and I like to hear your thoughts on the cases. I don’t know if you’ve covered the case of Shawn Hornbeck yet but it’s a fascinating one. It’s local to my area so it really hit home with me when it first hit the news but now that I have children I’m mortified when I think of what Shawn went through. He was kidnapped after school one day and held captive and sexually abused for YEARS. The most shocking bits of the story are that he was held captive relatively close to his town. Also, he was so mentally and psychologically abused that he believed his family didn’t want him. He was allowed to play outside with other kids and even go to a school dance with a neighbor girl! He was brainwashed to believe his mother didn’t love him and didn’t want to find him. :’( The kicker too was that the abuser was the store manager of Imo’s, a very well-known hometown pizza chain here in St. Louis, MO. To my knowledge, when Shawn hit puberty his captor got bored and kidnapped a younger boy. That’s when a slip up happened and the whole thing was exposed. Both boys made it out alive. I believe Shawn now works at a factory close to my home. My sister’s-in-law fiancé claims to have known Shawn for a short time and said he recalls Shawn bragging about liking the sexual abuse, but I don’t believe what he says. I do know it’s common for boys who are sexually abused to grow up to be homosexuals, but to say that Shawn “liked” the abuse was just too much for me. I told him to shut up and that he doesn’t know the first thing about what happened in that apartment during those years.
After seeing the picture of Sophie, I burst into tears. I couldn't hold it when Mark said he had a lump on his throat after seeing that picture of Sophie. May she continue to rest in peace.
I love this girl because she does cases that we in the United States have not heard! Great job Danielle keep bringing up those cases that don't get any attention!
The US must be the only place this case didn't get coverage, it was massive news everywhere else in the world.
@@darthphilfy not everywhere
I feel the same way
Same in the uk loads i have never heard.this was one.she favourite.thanks a lot Danielle .❤️❤️
@@darthphilfy it was on the news here, and mentioned on some crime shows. Perhaps not as in depth as the UK coverage, but definitely mentioned.
I remember when this happened and the coverage, so horrific- seeing some of the video footage and photographs, it's unimaginable what she went through.
I've got to say I haven't really cried all that much over the stories I've listened to about true crime, but this had me crying in a horrible pain for Sophie. That poor girl was so obviously a beautiful person and had a heart and soul of pure gold 💛
Literally same, I’ve got tears writing this. She looked so kind and beautiful and my heart hurts so much for her and her family
Just learned about your podcasts. I haven't listened to podcasts before but I have become addicted to your RUclips channel. It keeps me thankful for what little I had as a child. Thank you for bringing these cases to light.
I remember hearing this case a few years ago and it broke my heart what she went through. But I didn't know about Mark and his feelings at the end and carrying a photo. I can't even begin to imagine how he feels
You tell this story very well! Thank you x
So very sad.. Got a lump in my throat to think how Sophie's parents and family must have felt.. Hearing how their child, was abused, and no one to turn to...
And also Mark.. To live with that guilt of something he was not even aware or?? So so very sad.. Even Sabrina's children that must live with the knowledge of what their mother has done to another human...it breaks my heart 😭😭😭
this case is so heartbreaking, i am so sorry about what happened, she was a kind gentle soul and did not deserve anything that she went through, i also feel sorry for Mark because he did not do anything to deserve the trauma he is going through now
I love your channel 💗 I listen to it while I'm at work & it really helps me get through the day. As a single mom of 4 & an aircraft engineer by day, there isn't much I get to do for myself and your channel really helps give me something to look forward to for myself to pass the time. Thanks for that! Your raw emotion makes me love your personality even more as well! Sending love from USA!
When you were describing Sabrina, you perfectly described someone I know. Like its actually a bit concerning how similar they are.
Unfortunately I think there’s a lot of people like that around us… they need held accountable and to get professional mental help.
Congrats on your Podcast! That’s my preferred platform so I will definitely be checking them out… super excited 🎉🎉
It’s great I basically use these like podcasts but, it’ll be interesting to hear updates too.
This truly breaks my heart!! I can't believe the police didn't pick up on the strange behaviors. Well.. yes I can actually. A lot of police ignore huge red flags. It's usually of no interest until a bigger crime has been committed. Prayers for her soul and her family.
Where were the children when all this was happening to Sophie? Whether there or not they must be traumatised by all this. I truly hope that they, and Sophies family are OK💜 So very sad 😪
I couldn't help but wonder about that the entire time. And where are the children NOW??? Hopefully they are being raised by people who truly love & care about them. And God rest Sophie's soul 🙏.
Love, love, love all you do! I can't wait to listen to the podcast! Keep doing what you're doing girl! I also teared up while you were thanking your fans. You're the kind of youtuber I love to support ❤️❤️❤️
Wow !!!! This totally reminded me of amber (my dog stepped on a 🐝) . The world needs to hear these stories of abusive, narcissistic, toxic women , yes they exist and more men need to speak out. Sending love and prayers 🙏💜
I was thinking that too - she was describing AH
Only person I thought of during this whole video
Who’s this?
@@jessicawatson7360 They are talking about Amber Heard. You know, this wannabe starlet from Aquaman who accuses Johnny Depp of physically and se*ually assualting her during their marriage. And tbh, I scrolled down to the comments to look for someone pointing that out, because I was thinking the exact same thing. Totally sounds like the Angry Turd XD
@@7Maya11 angry turd :D love it
Listening to this right after the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case with all Amber's claims of abuse. And I'm just thankful Amber did not go as extreme as Sabrina did...
I had this exact thought. I don't feel like it's a far reach to imagine Amber could have eventually displayed these exact behaviors. It's frankly terrifying.
Exactly what I was thinking...I'm convinced we will be hearing about her further down the line connected to something equally horrific.
Thankfully the women's movement bringing awareness to issues has come far enough that false claims do not hurt true victims reporting. Back in the day, a woman's testimony would be discounted because of the false claims of others.
@@mtaylor7307 that's still true tho. Victims are almost never belived
Don't forget that Johnny was also abusive
Yay! Heard the news, paused, ran to the podcast to have it up and ready then came back here to listen to this first. I'm so happy!!!! You're the best, Danielle!
The pod cast was absolutely brilliant. Thank you
I’m so sorry for Sophie.. :’( my heart just aches. I was an Au pair once and my guest mother wasn’t nice at all, I also worked 10h a day and I practically had to beg for my own wage. I couldn’t speak much German at that time, so I couldn’t even complain, I was all alone and scared. Sophie must have been so terrified. I saved all of my wages for flight back home and as soon as my money was enough, I flew back home and yell I QUIT! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! nevertheless I love the kids so much... prob the reason it was hard for me to leave. Rest In Peace Sophie, may heaven bring you peace .. :’(
My heart breaks for Sophie and her parents, who have to live on without their precious daughter. The wickedness in this world is sometimes beyond belief. I hope both of those murderers rot and die in prison.
Glad you got out of that abusive situation! Hopefully your next employer appreciates you and your services!!!💞
@@Marie-pr1ss Thank you for your reply Marie! All good in the end. I got out of the difficult situation, got my master's degree, got a job, and live happily and independently now. Sometimes I really miss the kids, but I just don't want to have contact with the family again because I don't want to be reminded of the hurtful times..
@@fammnak852 Glad to know you're doing AMAZINGLY WELL!!! It's nice to see there is a happy ending for good people out there! Hopefully maybe you will get the chance to see the kids again!! Take care much love!💖💖💖

I've been waiting for someone to cover this case. Funnily enough, was thinking about it just yesterday! Thank you Danielle. You are absolutely the best true crime RUclipsr around.
That happens to me a lot!
It rang a bell as I was listening, I think I’ve seen Mollie Westbrook cover it.
@@jessicawatson7360 love her too!
Seeing that picture of Sophie after being interrogated really brought tears to my eyes, may she rest in peace.
It’s so heartbreaking that she hated seeing other people being abused and suffering after knowing what happens to her. 😭 So sad.
I thought the police were trained to recognize when someone was in distress. At the very least, experience should have brought them to that conclusion, and they should have insisted on more information or an investigation. I certainly hope they learned something from this.
That poor girl... my heart breaks for her parents. You're tougher than I am. I can't stop crying.
Exactly, why did they just let her leave with a lady that's accusing her of all these things she said didn't happen. You would think they'd at least ask her questions and try to figure out what's going on!
and with all the cases I've watched so far.... it happened so many times that police just let the criminal go and lives could have been saved if only they did their job better 😔
A year ago I discovered your channel and I was hooked. Seeing your growth makes me so proud! You deserve it, Danielle! Seeing how excited you were about the podcast makes my heart so happy. Wish you all the best!
Was introduced to yr channel by my doter . Love it. U give a voice to ppl that cannot.
Ugh this reminds me of my boyfriend’s ex. Physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive. Accused him of being a pedo, He was driving her to work and she grabbed the steering wheel and tried to turn into oncoming traffic. And they have a kid together, she could’ve left them an orphan. Just a horrible person.
Listening to this, it makes me think of what my dad is dealing with right now. It's absolutely terrifying and the legal system is so flawed. If you're with a narcissist, please run away as fast as you can.
What a heartbreaking case. Thank you for telling us Sophie’s story, Danielle. I’m doubly surprised not to have heard of it as I’m French and live in London myself (and did at the time too), I hate that this wasn’t discussed more. May she rest in peace.
By the way - LOVE your first exclusive podcast episode!!
this literally makes me SO happy i love watching your vids but hate that youtube stops if i need to use a different app. can’t wait to listen to your podcast whilst driving or working etc
Get premium, solves that issue.
Yes premium does solve that issue.
RUclips stops what?
Not everyone can afford premium, just saying

You're a great story teller! Unfortunately, these are terrible events that demolished many families but thank you for your compassion. May the families gain peace and justice. God bless.
