He's always really respectful of the victims and the severity of the crimes. I was watching another true crime RUclipsr for a little while, but the way he always made light of the situation was weird and put me off. Coffeehouse Crime is much better.
@@tremblence When I hear what country it is I already know a killer won't even get an equal fate. Human life has no value when you reward evil with such weak punishments. Even worse if you allow them to daylight and commit it again.
@@tremblence What garbage are you smoking there? 27 years MINIMUM is not a "slap om the wrist" is more than 1/3 of someone's life base on the average life expectancy. Seriously. If you want to know how huge 27 years are just think of it this way. A baby born in 2000 will, most likely, have a career, wife and kids in 2027. Another 27 years, by 2054 and they would be 54. Likely a grandparent by that point. Another 27 years, by 2081 at the age of 81 they will be basically at the end of their life and have great grand children.
Not a matter of sex. Just don't leave a shitfaced drunk person alone. If she fell over, she clearly was way beyond good decisions. That's the problem. Responsibility was already out of the question at the beginning of the story
I love how respectful he is towards the victims; he dedicates a lot of time speaking about their lives, and is truly compassionate. This is how true crime should be told and handled. Many others sensationalize it or treat it as just a spooky story without realizing that these were real people with a family, friends, and their whole lives ahead of them
I like it when they do that, to hear everything they done in their life, all the work all the stress all good and bad times just comes all to an end by some random person or a family members.
The videos are always named after the victims and not the killer. I appreciate that. The VICTIM is the name we should remember. The killer has already gotten more attention than they ever deserved.
Hey, I'm Polish. For everyone not knowing polish language just wanted to tell you, that he made so many mistakes in the letter and also he had written it like a seven year old would, but most disgusting - he wrote it like the whole situation wasn't a big deal. Like he doesn't understand what's wrong with the thing he did. At least that's how I feel seeing that letter.
Just a thought…. Is Adrian pronouncing his name correctly. I lived in Czech Rep and lots of PAvels but he’s pronouncing it PavEl ….Pa-vel vs Pav-el ….?
If the authorities had taken the reports of his deviant behavior seriously, who knows if he would have taken it so far. Public indecency 'flashing', gawping at women, street harassment etc are all part of a sexual preditor testing the boundaries of what he can get away with. Stamp down on street harassment, take it seriously!
So true! They all start liKe that and evolve eventually to rape and many of them, to murder. Sexual predators should never be let out of prison, they cannot be "rehabilitated".
If your friend is too drunk to get into the club, then they’re too drunk to go home alone. Her friends will never get over this. It’s scary, but there are always predators about! Always watching! He’s a disgusting monster! Poor Libby x
Agreed. Libby was too drunk to stand up. If her friends had seen her home and made sure she went inside where SOME responsible, sober person could have put her to bed... well. But a larger problem I see is the mindset of young people (me, included when I was a yout' ) that an evening out MUST include getting falling down drunk. Funny, that.
yes they will carry this guilt with them for the rest of their lives. I know they thought they had taken care of her, but intoxicated people cant be trusted to do the smart and safe thing, go home and sleep it off.
@@primesspct2 they are not guilty of anything. You can't hold them accountable for negligence. They were in theory also intoxicated to some point and the taxi left her home. It's really sad what happened to her but you can't blame her friends for her actions.
@@crodo123 I didn't mean in any way I blame them. They were young and inexperienced and never dreamed anything like that would happen. I just meant that they will feel guilty, as any of us would, if this happened to one of our friends and we were in their shoes. I just hope that others who find themselves in a similar situation in the future ,will take a lesson from this. And that others will take the lesson, that if they are drunk and at home (because we know she did return home) don't go out walking alone. I did similar stupid stuff as a young woman, and this could very easily have been me. I didn't mean to cast judgement or condemnation at all, sorry if it sounded that way.
This really makes me realize how many times I’ve been lucky. There’s countless times I’ve put myself in a situation where my drinking got out of hand and I was lost and alone or went home with strangers. Thanking my lucky stars and I will be much more mindful moving forward.
All young beautiful women should carry a knife these days...and never stumble around the streets at night alone...especially in bad places like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia etc... (Note: Just realized some old women get attacked too...but normally for robbery...not r@pe.)
Nah no need for that... you can go eat something quickly and try again afterwards and hope the the same bouncers werent there and you could act sober enough to get in. Or just go to another bar where they're not as picky. Even the smallest towns have some dive bar that will serve anybody regardless of how drunk they are.
This was a hard one to hear, but very well covered. I remember how invincible I assumed I was in university and it's terrifying to think how easy it could have been to become a victim. 27 years is no where near long enough for him to rot in prison.
Students ....Armed Forces not much different as we are all young and do what young people do . We always looked after any one that got to drunk , just like Libby's friends did . Just goes to show you though we are not always as safe as we think ....specially under drink !!!
@@angie4now438 she should enter herself into the witness protection program or find a way how to. god i'd be feckin horrified receiving a letter like that if i were her.
The fact this happened just 10 mins from where i live just proves no matter how safe you feel, it’s never guaranteed. I legit saw this vid and got completely scared from all the details, all I knew was she was killed and that was frightening enough, but this? this was an awesome video and a good way for me to understand truly what happened. Thankyou, coffeehouse crime.
I live quite close, too, & the other day I went & looked at the scene of the supposed crime (the jury weren't given that opportunity). I walked from the car park to the river & I don't understand how the whole thing could have taken seven & a half minutes. (CCTV is clear on the time the car arrived & left). It took me ten minutes to walk the bit of path that led to the river, & I wasn't carrying an unconscious or dead body.
Minute walk from me it happened, hard to come to terms with how something so brutal can occur so close. My sister lived a street over from the bus stop where the scumbag encountered Libby. She moved away a year prior, and I feel sick knowing he was on the streets whilst we’ve been living here. Likely walked past him a couple times too, which just makes it more spine-chilling.
Pawel’s wife made a good move to take herself and their daughters back to Poland and away from that monster because god knows what he could’ve done or already would’ve done to her or their daughters. I hope they’re doing okay as well as Libby’s family, they don’t deserve any of this
And the public eye & the aggression/shame the criminals' families often get. It's not their fault he's like this. He's the monster, not them. Glad they left and started a new life. Hope the kids are safe from the nutjob, and I hope he never finds them like how he wrote in his creepy manipulative letter. He needs to stay in prison forever.
Make sure he doesn't follow through with this "promise" (really a threat) of finding his way back to them. Make sure he doesn't know where they live, change their last names if they have to. Although by the time he gets out, his kids will be adults, he won't know what they even look like.
I'd be willing to bet all i have that he's done things to his daughters. I hope the mother has asked them and they get help because im sure he did. He has no control of himself. Disgusting pos.
I know it's said that we all have passed a killer in the street, but......for once I can say he looks so "normal", like the guy down the street. No "crazy eyes" etc, if that makes sense. His wife never questioned his comings and goings at all hours?? Rest peacefully Libby. Great to see the channel growing so quickly. Stand proud.
Pretty scary isn’t it? Apparently he had told her that he was going for a run whenever he left for the evening. Maybe she ought to have been a little more vigilant on her husband. And thankyou Sinéad! I appreciate you commenting!
You probably have a really good heart or really great at seeing the glass half full instead of the alternative. As soon as I saw the first pic he looked shady to me but to be fair that perception may also be based on the fact that I already knew he was the killer long before his picture showed up so the bias had already been planted. I feel sorry for his wife too,
You make the same mistake as many people, dangerous killers don't look like dangerous killer, that's why they are so dangerous because people don't fear them when they see them. Look at the faces and life of the worst serial killers, most of them look like your boring neighbor, they are often married or in a long term relationship and their partners didn't suspect anything. I don't know how old you are but you'd better learn quickly that appearances can be deceptive.
@@damienfavard2971 I guarantee I'm older than you think. And still alive. Just because I believe someone doesn't look like a killer, does not mean I'll engage with them.
@@r.m.5548 bullshit. I agree. Look up my name. You'll see I'm just a person. I'm real and not everything is about reward. Some people just want to compliment someone for their good works. Why do so many people these days just wanna be dicks?
Really glad that you've covered this case. I graduated from Hull University in 2020 and lived on the same street that Libby was sadly taken from. I mention this because I know it's easy to feel frustrated towards her friends for not going back with her, so I just wanted to provide some context. Hull (for the most part) felt safe. That area felt safe. There was definitely crime, but everything felt familiar. When I was there, Hull taxis were a big deal (no uber allowed, not sure if that is still the case). You'd find your favourite company and you'd stick with them for your whole time there. There were even silly debates between students on which taxi company was the best. So I completely understand thinking that your friend would be safe if you put her into a taxi that you trusted would get her all the way home and see she was safe. Whilst I'm a firm believer of never leaving a drunk friend alone, the nights events could have still played out the same way if they'd have left her at her door and parted ways to their own accommodation. To prevent this from happening to other women, I think crimes such as voyeurism and public indecency need to be treated with way more severity. I think someone else commented something similar - these crimes are all about control and having dominance over others. Making people feel weak and helpless and enjoying their fear/anxiety. A lot of men who murder women have a history of these acts and you can see it in the Sarah Everard case too. The garbage who took away Sarah's life in such a gruesome way also committed an act/acts of public indecency before his crimes against her. We need to take a good look at how we view crimes against women. Sexual harassment and intimidation isn't just creeps being creeps, or one off spurs of the moment. These crimes can and do escalate. They will want greater and sicker kicks if nothing is done to stop them. Hopefully we can make big changes and ensure that this doesn't happen again, and that we do all we can to prevent these crimes from happening. RIP to Libby and condolences to her family. Let's keep talking about these cases to ensure these women are remembered and with any luck we can make small changes for the better every day.
Thank you for providing the context that some of know, having grown up in college/university areas. In my day, it's was either taxi or walk (way before Uber,etc). In fact, most cabbies would walk you to the door or, at least, wait until you opened it. I also agree that these "minor" sexual crimes need to be looked at in a much more harsh way. There are times where they are just some young person hoping to catch a look, not realizing how they are violating someone else. But I believe most lead on to worse crimes.
"A lot of men who murder women have a history of these acts" - Yes. Including the Claremont Serial Killer, 1990s, in Western Australia. He went on living his life, unsuspected for 20 years. Finally identified & arrested in 2016, convicted in 2020.
Taking personal responsibility is also a good idea .. despite appalling rise in crime and media coverage, women still take stupid chances instead of making themselves aware of the situation they're getting into - either by walking alone across commons at night when they should have taken a taxi or deliberately getting drunk.
@Chris Sheridan I'm big on self-preservation at all costs. I take a lot of safety measures and encourage others to do the same. The thing is, as a woman, sometimes even the "safe option" feels like a danger. Myself and my friends have all experienced a dodgy uber/taxi driver at least once before, so even that feels like a risk if you're in an unfamiliar area. And we can't avoid going outside for fear of getting raped/murdered. Getting blackout drunk isn't a great decision obviously, but I think we have all been there at one point (guys and gals alike). You deserve the embarrassment and the sore head and your friends ribbing you, but you don't deserve your life being taken away by another. In this case, Libby was upset and she wanted to go home and she was asking for her mum. If this was any other average stranger in the street, they would have consoled her and tried to get in contact with her friends and called the police/ambulance. It's just tragic that she stumbled into this pos path. If this guy wasn't on the streets, she wouldn't have been murdered. In the case of Sarah Everard, her killer could have struck at any time of day because of him abusing his position in the police force. She got plucked from a busy, well lit street with plenty of traffic and I believe houses on either side too. She took the quickest route I believe, which is something also to weigh up as a woman. Which is safest and quickest? And sometimes there is no alternative route (or if there is, it's incredibly out of the way and actually would put you in more danger). When I lived in London, the only way to get to the tube to get to work was through a park. It had no lights and was just a proper crimewatch park honestly. But it was small. It would take 30 seconds to a minute to walk through it. I'd always try to have company or even adjust my work hours in the winter, but there would still be times I'd have to walk through it alone in the dark. If anything happened to me, I imagine there would be people wondering why I didn't go another route or why I wouldn't get a taxi. To me and the people living in that cul-de-sac, the answer would be obvious. But an outside perspective may struggle to understand. Anyway, I just wanted to provide some food for thought.
So his letter to his wife was basically "Hey babe how you doing? Don't bother running, I'm gunna find you and the kids eventually. P.S. Send me cable money"
That letter would be even funny if not tragic cause the amount of mistakes in polish and vocabulary makes that man seems to be uneducated even if its not the case. A lot of ppl from Poland write in polish very bad and seem to dont really care. I dunno how its in other countries.
Last time my friend was belligerently drunk and upset, I took her home and even tho she was telling me to leave, I made sure she was in her bed in her room. Because of stories like this. There is noone else to blame besides the perpetrator, but I cannot imagine the guilt her friend feels over not leaving with her. R.i.p
Make sure they sleep on their side too and not their back. I’ve seen friends so drunk/on other drugs I didn’t even want to leave them alone in their homes to sleep. I was scared they’d end up on their back and choke on their vomit. They told me to just go home and let them sleep but I stayed for a while anyways and watched them.
Sadly you can't because so many fair skinned women think screaming is an expression of joy. If you come to their aid, they respond like you're the problem. At least here in the south in the US.
Completely agree in principle, difficult in practice. I use to live by a park and heard what I thought were screams so I went to investigate, turns out it was a fox. Had I called the police I could have been charged with wasting police time..
Once, I woke to a woman screaming for help repeatedly on the busy sidewalk below my apartment. I couldn't see her, but the contents of a purse were strewn everywhere, so l called 911. Girl was just super drunk and arguing with her bf. They found her a few blocks down. I was NOT charged with wasting police resources or time. I don't regret calling. But this was America, not Poland.
He not only sexually a assaulted a defenceless woman but even murdered her and he’s only facing less than 30 years with chance or parol? I was expecting life or at least 50 years. Whut?
Hello and thank you for watching. What do you think of Libby's case? Please share your thoughts below! And on a personal note, thankyou to all of you who have been here before. It's humbling to see this community grow so fast and I feel so lucky to deliver content to you all. Have a great day, and remember to spare a few moments in remembering Libby. - Adrian ☕🏡🔍
my sister was at university with Libby and I live down the road from the club she was last seen it, it's terrifying to think about this happening in your own city
This story is so terribly tragic with the coincidences that had to lineup for this young girl to lose her life. I am in my mid forties now but when I was younger and living in New Jersey, my friends and I often went across the Hudson into Manhattan because the best clubs were in the city. I cannot tell you how many times we were separated and I wound up taking a train home alone. When I think back on all of the stupid, alcohol fueled decisions I made that could have left me in a really dreadful situation, I am very, very grateful.
"... the stupid, alcohol fueled decisions I made that could have left me in a really dreadful situation, I am very, very grateful." Me too. I'm old now and booze-free but the mindset of young people that a good time must include getting shit-faced is insidious.
Same here. When we’re young, we don’t think about the dangers we put ourselves through, living carelessly. I’m grateful to God’s grace for protection and redemption 🙏🙏🙏
All it takes is one time, one night. The things that had to line up for this to happen is sad. Imagine the guys who helped her up off the ground stayed 5 more minutes, maybe she never gets seen by the predator, or the cab takes a wrong turn getting to the bar/club and it takes another 5 minutes before it arrives. The circumstances for all this to line up is really crazy, it’s such an unfortunate case and I pray for her soul, I pray for her family, I pray for her friends and the guilt they must feel, I pray for the two guys who tried to help her out and got told to leave her alone, the guilt those guys might feel. All because one sick fuck happened to see her and notice she was Vulnerable such a shame.
@@danielandree3947 well said. I too pray for them as well. This story is a stark reminder that any of us could be a victim just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time and seen by the wrong person. I teach my daughter to always be aware of her surroundings, be smart, not to live in fear but at the same time know that there are predators out there.
For cases like this, there's been complaints about this guy for a years but the police did not do anything. The police never takes anything seriously until someone is dead. Very unfortunate. RIP angel.
If I were the wife and received that letter, I would freak out, change my name and live the rest of my life in hiding. What a despicable horrible man 😔
I know, right? it’s unbelievable that he has the audacity to ask her for commissary money after he was convicted of murdering a young college student!! Psycho!!
Thank you so much for covering this story about someone that I knew on a personal level. It means so much and I know it means a lot to the family and the other friends of Libby too. She was an amazing young lady and she was taken way too soon may she always rest in piece. 👼👼
"... I decided to not wear my red shirt today." Got a good belly laugh out of me with that one, ahaha The nerve of this guy to do these heinous crimes, and then ask his ex-wife to keep loving him and also give him some cash to watch TV in the same breath. He absolutely screams textbook sociopath to me.
This is the first true crime case that has ever hit home for me due to it happening only a few streets away from where I was living at the time, in fact the only reason me and my housemates weren't out at Welly was because we weren't feeling it and just wanted to stay home. I never expected Libby's story to be covered by youtubers like this so thank you for treating it will respect. I never knew Libby personally but I have attended the remembrance events that were held on campus, she never deserved this and we were all relieved when we learnt of his arrest and later his sentancing so thank you again for treating this with respect
The bizarre nature of when she was dropped off by the taxi outside her flat is still baffling. Instead of going straight inside she did a u-turn around the corner, started sobbing and when witnesses came to see if she was ok she was aggressive towards them. This was all before Relowicz even targeted her.
She was drunk. I myself did many dumb moves drunk, that made no sense, for example randomly started running home leaving all my posession on the beach. Nothing happened to make me run. Just drunkenness
That guy was one of the creepiest and depraved person I've ever heard of...yet he looked almost TOO normal. Wife and kids. Normal face. Like he doesn't even "look like" the sick fuck he is. This one gives me fucken chills
No, he didn't. Look at his face on his wedding photo... That's not a face of a man that experiences emotions like normal people or he wouldn't look so odd, he would look HAPPY ffs.
@@AleksandarIvanov69 dont remember that picture honestly. But he just seemed like a normal dude to me. I wouldn't have second guessed him walking down the street one day with his wife and kids you know? Like he didn't set off my creepy meter. And that scares me. People who look normal.. when they aren't ...
I think we forget how often abusive and evil people don’t seem abusive and evil on the surface. unfortunately some of the greatest manipulators and criminals are attractive and likable to the people that believe they know them.
@@immanuelh.9708 to that I would say, have you been around such people and have you a solid, truthful moral education ? Usually if you have been around such ppl with a solid, truthful moral education, you recognize them.
It's almost as if you couldn't tell a person's character from his facial features, and Lombroso and Disney movies were wrong all along. How weird, huh?
can't stop thinking about that witness who woke up to screaming and then heard screaming again a few minutes later... how do you hear screaming and not call the police??
The only time I heard something like that I called 911. Probably saved an entire family from their teenage son who ate and entire sheet of synthetic acid. He had already stabbed his mother and sister who where trying to stop him from harming himself. When police arrived they surrounded the entire house with ARs and K9s, when they finally entered and removed the family members it was too late for the young man. The drugs pushed him over the edge psychologically and he cut his abdominal entirely open and then cut his throat. No one else lost their life. You NEVER KNOW. If you hear a scream out of nowhere, call 911.
@bvaldebenitom wasn't even my call, the mother screemed out the window, so I asked my friend sitting on the porch across the street with me, and he said, if he herad another he would. So I called. A few minutes later a young woman (the sister) came sprinting full speed out the door, down the street screaming call 911! I think she ran to a nearby neighbor she knew. From what I could see in that short moment her shirt was quite torn and a little bloody but nothing I felt I needed to chase after her for. Within minutes of that happening, the police had the entire block surrounded. I'm talking I could see at LEAST 50 squad cars on my street alone. It all fell quite after they made entry. When they brought the mother out she hysterically fell to the ground bleeding badly, I had learned later that week she was stabbed 3 times by her own son. Who then took his own life horribly. It's a city inside of a very large Metroplex, I happened to work at a hotel that had a police officer there every weekend, so the following weekend I asked the one on duty if he could tell me what actually happened because I watched it unfold and was the one who made the 911 call, and since he knew me pretty well he shared what he knew about it. I was MINDBLOWN.
@@SamanthaMcCollough in my city, they most certainly do. I know several of them personally from my years at the hotel I worked at and I feel safer knowing truly good cops are out there everywhere.
I think I remember seeing in another video that that field was used by teenagers all the time as a hangout/drinking spot and it was common to hear them shrieking/laughing/screaming as it is with drunk teenagers. I imagine the neighbor was somewhat used to it, although I still think it is better safe than sorry, they definitely should’ve called the police.
P.S.A. if you see a drunk person wandering around alone at night don't rape and murder them. Double P.S.A. Dont blame the victim for their own rape and murder.
@M. Cousin see the problem with that is, normal people don’t kill people, sick twisted people do (I know there are cases of normal people snapping) but by and large people like the dude who did this, are sick animals who prey on people, saying to them don’t kill people isn’t the route to go, it won’t change them. However showing cases like this to young people and explaining to them 1) don’t get so shitfaced you can’t walk straight is a decent idea 2) if your friend is that shit faces don’t just send them home, take them home (while most of the time they will get home safe you don’t want the time they don’t get home safe to haunt you for the rest of your life, you can always go party another day, or go back that same day) 3) always be conscientious about the Whereabouts of your friends even when you’re all in the club/bar etc. just because you’re in public doesn’t mean that a friend that is hammered won’t be lured away from the general public into a secluded area (drunk people are more trusting towards strangers and are more easily manipulated) Moral of my post is, you can always have fun another night, you can never get rid of the guilt or party with a friend if they do become a victim, the party isn’t worth it, making sure your friend gets home safe is more important, even if they are a burden at that time and are a buzzkill for the rest of your group it’s always better to leave as a group then send the person home alone, even if you get them into a cab or Uber, they are drunk and if they act dumb enough might not make it home in said cab or Uber, and then will be stuck by themselves open to predators. It’s much easier to teach young people that you can always go to another party/club/bar, go out another night, then it is to tell a sick predator not to prey on people.
@@scifi.ginger normal people don’t do that, the guy who did this is a serious predator, they don’t live by the standards society sets. Read my above post. It’s easier to teach young people who don’t know any better, that you can always party another night or go back to the party, making sure your friend is safely home, then it is to tell someone thats deranged not to do horrible things. The original poster wasn’t putting the blame on the victim, they were saying that it’s not safe to walk home drunk. You can say that without saying that it’s her fault for walking home drunk.
@@scifi.ginger I’m definitely not blaming the victim there are sick twisted people in the world that’s why we don’t go out alone or leave our friends alone !
Watched quite a few of your videos Adrian and find myself appreciating the way you tell the story of these victims and their awful deaths. You have a sincerity about you that I enjoy. Funny to use that phrase when I think about the content of your posts and yet you tell the stories with such empathy. Thank you. I’m a fan.
i dont understand how a man can be seen multiple times looking through bedroom windows, a known thief of sexual things, and even on top of that, was seen in the streets with his pants around his ankles performing sex acts on himself, and not end up in jail or have anything done about it. also someone shouldve taken that taxi with the girl back to her house, and then rode back to the bar...it was so close by...
To be be fair tho she made it inside and then she came back out, so there is no telling if she would have done the same thing of her friend went back with her
Pussy laws by pussy people. To be blunt. Innocent lives have lesser value than a monsters. The very fact they entertained the idea this cold blooded murder could be allowed BACK into society to live their life outside and possibly repeat is so absurd. A crime of this nature only has one way to deal with it, there is no rehabilitation, you don't even get that luxury because you decided to take a life that wasn't yours. A plague of certain political mentality that puts degenerates and criminals as victims is in many Western countries. I am not talking about due process or grey-area cases, I am talking clear-cut cases where the murderer is caught and it's undeniable, it's fact.

Thank you for covering this case of Libby’s untimely death and the monster who stole it from her. I hope that her family and friends may one day fine peace. Though as a parent, I don’t think I could ever overcome such a terrible tragedy such as this. Though you have to hope. May they all remember Libby and the life she had, the joy she brought and know that her killer was swiftly caught and convicted.
I’m so glad to have come across your channel. The way you tell the stories is greatly respectful. Please keep bringing out your videos, it helps raise awareness of the evil people that unfortunately roam this planet. Being from England too, this hit hard. All of your stories are heartbreaking, well done for telling them with such dignity.
@@rayharvey1330 She was drunk. People who are drunk lose their inhibitions and ability to think rationally and do stupid stuff. That's why it's so important to stick together as a group and always have a sober friend around. Especially for young women, who really aren't safe. A girl in a place I used to live in had a group of men jump out of a car, threaten her with a knife and steal all her things. She was walking home from the nearby bus stop at 7pm after going to uni. It wasn't a secluded area. And it was a wealthy, supposedly very safe residential area. It's pretty much a given as a woman that you're a target.
This is such a sad story. And her friends probably never thought anything like this would ever happen. Always have a designated sober friend. When I go out with my friend we have a “sober sister” who is basically the babysitter. Usually determined after a game of Rock Paper Scissors.
@@medicamedico4335 It's not just that, though. Some people get spiked, even if they're extremely careful and drink responsibly. A sober friend isn't just there to babysit, but there to hell if something like spiking or assault were to happen.
I think the friends did the best they could at the time. Put her in a cab. Took the driver's number. Requested he make sure she got into the house before leaving. It's annoying to have to end your evening prematurely because one of the gang decided to speed drink fully relying on you to keep them under control like a toddler. She got home safely. But she went out again. If she had stayed home she would still be alive. Sad but true.
I related when you’d said this case in particular hit home. I grew up in Hull, would occasionally attend Welly and walk home alone, drunk. Only just realising how blessed I was. RIP Libby.
I’m a fan of true crime stories. I came upon your channel after I’ve had a sleepless night. I’m glad I found it. I like they way you present the story of these cases. I feel so sad about what happened to Libby. That last decision to go back out is heartbreaking. She had no idea what would happen to her. RIP Libby. You were too young to be taken away like this. ❤️
Again, alcohol is a drug too, I hate when people don’t even think to classify this drink as a damned drug. It is a legal drug, endorsed by most governments
I had a bad stint with alcohol because I can't smoke weed due to severe depression and anxiety. Bro, I had no idea how advertised alcohol was until I had to stop. I feel fucking awful for recovering alcoholics.
@@chris-p6k it's literally a drug, all alcohol is classified as a Central Nervous System (CNS) deppresant. Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it isn't literally a drug.
I’ve subscribed, you do a great job of telling the story in a respectful and interesting way. Look forward to more of your videos. You also pick different stories ones i haven’t heard of. Keep it up
Hi, I just stumbled onto your channel. This story is absolutly heartbreaking. 27 years is nothing compared to the life he has taken. Such a sad story. May Libby rest in peace.
I actually lived in Hull for 6 years. You said a stroke of luck that some men helped her up off the street but the people of Hull are lovely. Someone always helps when others are in trouble, I'm shocked this crime happened! I've walked back home on my own drunk from welly many times, gives me the chills.
I used to live in Hull and met some great people. I actually painted the inside of the Welly club many years ago. A horrible matt purple colour IIRC! lol
The letter made me laugh, cause I pictured how it sounds from the perspective of his wife. A murderous psychopath telling her "love me and I will come back", she was like "NOPE!" :D
You are the best with your true documents. Better than anyone else. You have empathy for victims and their families. Your young and to come up with this idea was brilliant. I hope you continue for many more years . I think they have right guy
It's so saddening and infuriating that these kinds of things happen. Libby had so much life yet to live but this creepy predator had to snuff it out in one night. I'm thankful that CCTV and police were able to catch him.
It took me so much to watch this. I was at the same uni the same time she went missing. It was horrifying for those several weeks but the support the uni gave was amazing. Murals everywhere. And the bench where Libby was last seen is permanently made into a mural for her and is utterly beautiful. I was in tears listing to this, thank you for telling it in such a respectful way.
Thankyou for such an empathic way of telling Libbys case... Truly heartbreaking that something so heinous could happen to someone so innocent and vulnerable... Rest in peace Libbys xx
I wonder could you cover a case from my hometown in Galway Ireland. It’s a case about a 16 year old Norwegian student who was murdered on her first day here. So sad. Really enjoying the channel, fair play!
This is why I either walk my friends home, or go back to our hometown with them by taxi. There's no way I'm going to send a friend of mine home alone in a taxi, especially if they're a lady. I'd rather have to cut a night out short, than to get the news that I could have saved a friend of mine from a fate like this.
@@Cherriepo Thing is, that when you’re intoxicated, you can’t think right. Her friends really messed up by assuming she would just stay home safe. What if the taxi driver decides to rape/kill her? It was very irresponsable in their part.
The sad thing is, she made it safely home, but decided to go out again while still under the effects of drink. This was a poor decision that ended up costing her life. There are A LOT of predatory "people" out there just waiting for their "opportunity". Be careful, evil often lurks just around the corner.
.. it was entirely her choice - it was her fault she wasn't allowed to stay with her friends because she enjoyed drink more than their company. Stupid decisions = stupid outcome. Simple logic.
@@Chris_Sheridan Drinking alcohol is not a stupid decision, neither is going out at night in one of the safest countries in the world. PeopIe IikeurseIf are the reason these things happen and why perpetrators get off easy and recommit, no sense of humanity for the victims and expect them to live like robots without any desires and sense of independence. Statistically, one is several hundred times more likely to die in a car crash than by kidnap and homiciide. So, if yuoever get hit by a drunk driver, do conceded that it would have been the fauIt of no one buturseIf for getting in the car in the first pIace? "SimIe logic" for a simpIe mind. CriticaI thinking skiIIs are important, y'know.
@GeeBee .. that's the problem though - she did not go home; she carried on walking around the streets totally out of her head and drunk - it was her decision. She put herself into a potentially unsafe situation - also she willingly got into a stranger's car. Totally her fault. Even government warnings have often repeated 'drink responsibly' for health reasons - equally applicable is to consider your ability to drive or cycle safely as well as personal responsibility. Only stupid and naive people drink to get drunk - it takes a special kind of stupid to be so drunk that you are barred from entering a club, especially if you're the only one among your friends who has been stupid enough to do that. Statistics are worthless - they did not save this girl's life. Anyone who relies on CCTV, personal 'phones, a so-called well lit area, morons who say that an area is safe (until something happens) is basically asking for trouble. "please, please - here I am - drunk myself into a stupor - tottering all over the place - left my friends - can't think clearly - come get me - I'm all yours! Lol!"
This is my hometown and it truly shocked us. If only she went home and accepted the help as sadly ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and preyed on by that monster. RIP Libby..... hull will never let you be forgotten
Yea, but imagine if he didnt get caught this time, there could be many more victims like her. He was obviously going to start a rampage. In the sad way, she saved lives, giving her own.
Poor girl, she was just living her life as many of us would have, the kind of predation women face is terrible. Also, the audacity of that creep to say what he did in that letter to his ex-wife and ask for money on top of that! That nearly made me cry angry tears, he just sees women as objects to toy with.
@Renegade Siha yikes, sweetie. Everyone can be attacked when theyre drunk and its not sexually motivated but by in large, females are the big targets. By ... a fucking lot. I can guarantee you that "being drunk" is WAY more of a "be careful" and "take care of yourself" for one gender over another :/ However, I do understand your assertion: the gender of the individual does not dictate the devastation. The impact is impactful
@@bluej2873 Renegade is one of those masculinists who always pull the "but men can be hurt too" card when they clearly know that the majority of violence is towards women. It saddens me how pathetic some of my fellow males are becoming with this sexual one-upmanship.
@@whitedragoness23 do you think men care about your daughters? By and large, yes, but that spin does have a different connotation, inherently. Just check pornhubs front page 😄
@@bluej2873 I don’t go to those kind of sites....let alone know their names like you do so that’s gross. And not all men are monsters and some do get killed horriable. Some women do lure young girls to their deaths because the men can’t get close to little girls so women “provide” a victim. I’ve seen some cases of women killing their own children. In real life I’ve seen a mother use her daughter so men would pay attention to her and left men in their care...both women and men commit crimes. This shouldn’t be a competition since both men and women and children die.
His letter at the end, expressing claims of "love" and eventually being manipulative through that sentiment is so scary. Some people can really be complete monsters, commit the worse acts of psycopathy and betrayal, and still expect your loved ones to still love you? to still help you? Absolutely not. Really makes the inability to ever trust someone again stronger.
I live in hull and remember this happening, I randomly came across this video and it truly shook me to the core more so when I saw it on the news. I’m Libby’s age and go to Hull Uni. Horrible to know there’s people out there like that, especially so close. 27 years is not enough!
Love your channel and the content. Your voice is so soothing. I can’t imagine how petrified this poor girl was. My heart breaks for her. Rest In Peace Libby. 😢
Adrian my friend, thank you for your videos. I watch a lot of your stuff before I crash. You always bring it in great and do awesome on research. I salute you, thanks again!
When I go out with friends and if one it's not allowed in the club we ALL go to another. We've never leave someone behind, specially if they're so drunk that they can hardly stand by themselves. We all stick together always.
You've got amazing smart friends and are an amazing friend yourself. I was never this fortunate as a teen, all my friends would leave me behind when I wasn't allowed in or had to leave early. I think people often think nothing bad can happen to themselves or their friends, until it actually happens. Then, surprise pikachu face when people find out they're not invincible
This one really hits home. In 2019 I got too drunk on a night out, and got lost trying to change buses at 2am. I called a bolt car to take me home, but when it did, the driver put me in the back seat and r*ped me. I think all the time how easily he could have killed me if he wanted to. Rest in power, Libby, and all the other vulnerable young women who have been taken advantage of.
I'm deeply sorry that happened to you. How are you doing now? In spite of what another reply has suggested, the problem is not that you were drinking; the problem was that someone felt he was entitled to your body. He took advantage of you while you were in a vulnerable state and thought he could get away with it. There are countless layers of complex reasons why your attacker was empowered to do what he did. Know that none of them were a result of your own actions. You are not at fault. I sincerely hope you've heard those words before. I wanted to say them just in case you haven't. "Drinking too much" is such a shallow explanation for the cause of your trauma. Don't let anybody reduce your experiences to a morality lesson. You deserve infinitely better than that.
@@oldbabyseasoning Well written. I could actually feel the meaning behind every soothing word you wrote. Every one has gone through some kind of trauma (not necessarily as bad as this). Your words helped.
This case really hits home for me, I was a student in Hull and lived in the same area as Libby (a couple of years previously), my friends and I spent a lot of time at Welly and definitely gone home alone on occasions. Libby wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary, and it makes me sick to my stomach to know that monster was walking around the streets waiting for someone to cross his path. Libby, her family and her friends are always in my thoughts ❤️
@Bass Slapper Because she was drunk, tired, upset and cold. Nobody thinks clearly in such a state and neither would you. Just fucking think for a minute
@Bass Slapper Because she was drunk!? Did you watch the video at all? Victim blaming at it's finest. We are bashing at the disgusting killer and you talk about her getting into a car drunk. Fuck off
@@joaquimrodriguez8961 What does flashing ass have to do with it? I see many drunk women dressed provocatively and give them lots of room... Not interested. Plus woman and men fully covered can still be victims of crime
I think what he meant is because revealing clothes often attract unwanted attention that could lead to bad things and yeah, I agree, even covered people can be attacked too.
@@agentorangecb1 Yes, but women's safety advice at night even includes such things as tucking your hair inside your coat collar so you don't look overtly feminine and so an obvious target. It's ok to dress scantily when you're with a group of friends (if that's your norm), but on your own it's the worst idea ever in my opinion
@@agentorangecb1 That's true, even covered women can be victims to these monsters. But the chances are lower against more skin revealed type. And you're not interested, I'm not interested and so many other men. But there are rarely monsters roaming among us. that's a sad fact.
This is an incredibly heartbreaking case. I can't even imagine the pain that she must have gone through and her friends and family are going through as well
This one is so scary. I'm from Hull and used to go to Welly frequently (pre-covid). I'm so glad my friends and I always got taxis together to make sure we all got home safely.
I go to this uni, I remember seeing the posters around campus, we initially thought she fell in the river as was common for people out drinking. I never knew this girl but it is chilling that this happened so close to me. My parents got really protective of me even though I don't go out drinking or clubbing. It was frustrating watching this man constantly slip out of police's hands and I'm glad the scumbag has finally gotten caught.
Victim blamey. The drink didn't rape and murder her. A rapist and murderer did. Someone like him was gonna to do this to someone, he was hunting for his next victim. He is the problem, not something the victim did.
@@IrishHoopers It's not blaming the victim to look at behaviors that increased her danger, you smooth-brained parrot. It's reducing the risk to future targets. Predators don't do well without easy targets.
@@stevenschnepp576 Amen. We need to take responsibility for ourselves. I can assure you that if she had gotten behind the wheel of a car and mowed down a family going on a camping trip that the sentiments of her supporters would be different.
At some point you need to take responsibility for yourself and not blame the world around you though. It would be nice if there were no rapists, murderers, thugs, serial killers, terrorists etc in the world but there is and no amount of online virtue signalling will change that so just be accountable for yourself. Jesus, I'll never understand people who seem to get off on being a victim. You think men are not victims too? I used to walk around all the time at night feeling safe until a group of thugs sucker punched me and put their boots into me when I was on the ground. Did I cry woe is me? Blame the world? Lol no, who would care if I did? I looked for more practical solutions including buying a car and I planned my nights out better so I always knew how I was getting home and knew I wouldn't be running the gauntlet walking home drunk at 3am. Sorry if this comes off as blunt but screaming at the 99.9% of men who are complete gentleman about the acts of a minority like the scumbag in this video is about does nothing but create division. I get it, I love the idea that we could create this utopian society where people of all ages and gender could walk home freely as inebriated as they like without the threat of violence, honestly it sounds great! But I can also tell you that world will *never* exist. As long as humans whether by nature or nurture have the capacity to do evil you will always have people amongst us with bad intentions - best you can do is try to protect yourself at all times.
I live in Hull and will never forget the day she was declared missing. The whole city searched and prayed for her to be found safe. We also mourned for her when her body was finally found. Fresh flowers are placed at her memory bench often, and a painted mural is now on the wall behind the bench where she sat before meeting that monster. Rest in peace Libby
@Bass Slapper she was obviously intoxicated/drunk. She might not have been in her right state of mind. Even so. It gave the man no right to follow her and kill her....she was walking perfectly fine on her own
@Bass Slapper Maybe he said he could give her a ride home. She could be naive af. Why didn't her Boyfriend pick her up though. Many questions only them 2 know the answer to.
@Bass Slapper It's incredibly disgusting of you to say such a thing. Implying she was going to cheat or what? So you think that excuses her killing? Do you realize a drunk person cannot legally give consent? Do you also realize we have that law for a reason? If you're this ignorant about intoxication, keep your thoughts to yourself. It's pretty obvious she wasn't fully herself due to how much alcohol she had in her system. A person in such a state cannot think rationally or make normal decisions. To blame her for getting murdered though is just.. wow, where has humanity gone this wrong lol.
I can't imagine the guilt and regret her friends must feel. If someone is too intoxicated to enter a club/bar that means they are also too intoxicated to go home alone. It doesn't matter if you get a taxi because the moment one gets out of the car they can be in danger. Libby, I did not know you but I know that you didn't deserve any of this. I hope you find peace in the end. RIP 🕊
She went home and then left again, even if they’d gone with her and watched her walk in the door she’d still have walked back out Not their faults at all, and they shouldn’t feel guilty
Was literally just going to comment he's very similar to Mike O' /That Chapter !! This is obviously a new channel, which I am delighted came up on my recommendations!

I'm from Hull, it's quite surreal to watch this video... A lot of people helped to look for her, we all checked news feeds as much as possible after she went missing. Just awful, poor girl
In the past few weeks, I have fallen completely in love with you Your oration, sincerity, manner, pattern of speaking, lovely eyes, and disposition! Thank your parents for their wonderful genetics and for making you for me! You're OUTSTANDING!!!
I discovered your channel yesterday and I love it! I've got a cuppa (coffee) and am about to nestle into my couch to watch another episode while my household is still sleeping. You're so calm and informative and it's obvious you put in a lot of time and research. This is like a condensed murder mystery novel!
I love how you humanise the victims. So many videos like this go for sensation and focus on the killer. It's refreshing and worth a subscribe, great content.
I enjoy the way you’re able to tell these stories. You’re not sensationalizing the perpetrators and you’re humanizing the victims. It’s refreshing.
27 years is a slap on the wrist
That makes criminals think "sweet the punishment isn't too bad, might as well go rape and murder people"
He's always really respectful of the victims and the severity of the crimes. I was watching another true crime RUclipsr for a little while, but the way he always made light of the situation was weird and put me off. Coffeehouse Crime is much better.
@@tremblence it’s a MINIMUM of 27 years. It’s likely he will be in prison much, much longer
@@tremblence When I hear what country it is I already know a killer won't even get an equal fate. Human life has no value when you reward evil with such weak punishments. Even worse if you allow them to daylight and commit it again.
@@tremblence What garbage are you smoking there? 27 years MINIMUM is not a "slap om the wrist" is more than 1/3 of someone's life base on the average life expectancy. Seriously. If you want to know how huge 27 years are just think of it this way. A baby born in 2000 will, most likely, have a career, wife and kids in 2027. Another 27 years, by 2054 and they would be 54. Likely a grandparent by that point. Another 27 years, by 2081 at the age of 81 they will be basically at the end of their life and have great grand children.

Not a matter of sex. Just don't leave a shitfaced drunk person alone. If she fell over, she clearly was way beyond good decisions. That's the problem. Responsibility was already out of the question at the beginning of the story
Amen to that!
His letter to his wife was quite manipulative! “You’re beautiful, “I’ll always love you, blah blah blah. BTW, send me €70!”
Prison classic
It also says that he is innocent and the police accused him because they didn't know what happened to Libby. What a guy
That's how these psychopaths are - very very selfish!
He also did a shitton of grammar mistakes. Jesus, my eyes.
@@truepoger5232 True, it was not easy to decipher what he wrote
I love how respectful he is towards the victims; he dedicates a lot of time speaking about their lives, and is truly compassionate. This is how true crime should be told and handled. Many others sensationalize it or treat it as just a spooky story without realizing that these were real people with a family, friends, and their whole lives ahead of them
I like it when they do that, to hear everything they done in their life, all the work all the stress all good and bad times just comes all to an end by some random person or a family members.
If you want it told as it happened you should watch Deadbug then again we live in a world of woke people who are too easily offended so best not tbh.
@@philleotardo8923 This guy receives the prize for the dumbest comment of the month. Congrats.
You have copied and pasted the same comment in all his videos
The videos are always named after the victims and not the killer. I appreciate that. The VICTIM is the name we should remember. The killer has already gotten more attention than they ever deserved.
Hey, I'm Polish. For everyone not knowing polish language just wanted to tell you, that he made so many mistakes in the letter and also he had written it like a seven year old would, but most disgusting - he wrote it like the whole situation wasn't a big deal. Like he doesn't understand what's wrong with the thing he did. At least that's how I feel seeing that letter.
You're right.
Thanks for the addition! Certainly adds to the story.
I wish Poland could disown him. Disgusting man...and he has daughters! Blows my mind.
Not clear if English is your second language but if it is, you write better than most Brits! Thanks for sharing…… interesting and weird!
Just a thought…. Is Adrian pronouncing his name correctly. I lived in Czech Rep and lots of PAvels but he’s pronouncing it PavEl ….Pa-vel vs Pav-el ….?
If the authorities had taken the reports of his deviant behavior seriously, who knows if he would have taken it so far. Public indecency 'flashing', gawping at women, street harassment etc are all part of a sexual preditor testing the boundaries of what he can get away with. Stamp down on street harassment, take it seriously!
Well said meg 👏
So true!
They all start liKe that and evolve eventually to rape and many of them, to murder. Sexual predators should never be let out of prison, they cannot be "rehabilitated".
Police act like shit doesn't matter until someone dies honestly and that's a world wide issue
For real, like why do the authorities let this go unnoticed when all of the clues were just plainly there
very true.
If your friend is too drunk to get into the club, then they’re too drunk to go home alone. Her friends will never get over this. It’s scary, but there are always predators about! Always watching! He’s a disgusting monster! Poor Libby x
Agreed. Libby was too drunk to stand up. If her friends had seen her home and made sure she went inside where SOME responsible, sober person could have put her to bed... well. But a larger problem I see is the mindset of young people (me, included when I was a yout' ) that an evening out MUST include getting falling down drunk. Funny, that.
Yup. That whole stuff grosses me out as hell. I hope he will learn his lesson in prison... if You know what I mean 😏
yes they will carry this guilt with them for the rest of their lives. I know they thought they had taken care of her, but intoxicated people cant be trusted to do the smart and safe thing, go home and sleep it off.
@@primesspct2 they are not guilty of anything. You can't hold them accountable for negligence. They were in theory also intoxicated to some point and the taxi left her home. It's really sad what happened to her but you can't blame her friends for her actions.
@@crodo123 I didn't mean in any way I blame them. They were young and inexperienced and never dreamed anything like that would happen. I just meant that they will feel guilty, as any of us would, if this happened to one of our friends and we were in their shoes. I just hope that others who find themselves in a similar situation in the future ,will take a lesson from this. And that others will take the lesson, that if they are drunk and at home (because we know she did return home) don't go out walking alone. I did similar stupid stuff as a young woman, and this could very easily have been me. I didn't mean to cast judgement or condemnation at all, sorry if it sounded that way.
This really makes me realize how many times I’ve been lucky. There’s countless times I’ve put myself in a situation where my drinking got out of hand and I was lost and alone or went home with strangers. Thanking my lucky stars and I will be much more mindful moving forward.
same. important thing is to learn and avoid it
All young beautiful women should carry a knife these days...and never stumble around the streets at night alone...especially in bad places like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia etc... (Note: Just realized some old women get attacked too...but normally for robbery...not r@pe.)
Many times happened to me too. I was very lucky.
Yeah don't be a pig it's gross
Or maybe people shouldn't rape and murder other people?
If a friend is too drunk, you take them home and just go back out or hang out at their place.
They made her get in a taxi? She got home and wandered off, did you watch the video?
Drunk ppl get on my nerves!
Nah no need for that... you can go eat something quickly and try again afterwards and hope the the same bouncers werent there and you could act sober enough to get in. Or just go to another bar where they're not as picky. Even the smallest towns have some dive bar that will serve anybody regardless of how drunk they are.
Do you actually do this? Your friend gets drunk & you stay at their house & take care of them? Are you their mother?
Agreed your night is not as important as a friends safety.
This was a hard one to hear, but very well covered. I remember how invincible I assumed I was in university and it's terrifying to think how easy it could have been to become a victim. 27 years is no where near long enough for him to rot in prison.
Students ....Armed Forces not much different as we are all young and do what young people do . We always looked after any one that got to drunk , just like Libby's friends did . Just goes to show you though we are not always as safe as we think ....specially under drink !!!
Nobody is invincible and people should really stop thinking that they have immunity to events. Be aware and stay safe.

The fact this happened just 10 mins from where i live just proves no matter how safe you feel, it’s never guaranteed. I legit saw this vid and got completely scared from all the details, all I knew was she was killed and that was frightening enough, but this? this was an awesome video and a good way for me to understand truly what happened. Thankyou, coffeehouse crime.
I live quite close, too, & the other day I went & looked at the scene of the supposed crime (the jury weren't given that opportunity). I walked from the car park to the river & I don't understand how the whole thing could have taken seven & a half minutes. (CCTV is clear on the time the car arrived & left). It took me ten minutes to walk the bit of path that led to the river, & I wasn't carrying an unconscious or dead body.
Minute walk from me it happened, hard to come to terms with how something so brutal can occur so close. My sister lived a street over from the bus stop where the scumbag encountered Libby.
She moved away a year prior, and I feel sick knowing he was on the streets whilst we’ve been living here. Likely walked past him a couple times too, which just makes it more spine-chilling.
Pawel’s wife made a good move to take herself and their daughters back to Poland and away from that monster because god knows what he could’ve done or already would’ve done to her or their daughters. I hope they’re doing okay as well as Libby’s family, they don’t deserve any of this
And the public eye & the aggression/shame the criminals' families often get. It's not their fault he's like this. He's the monster, not them. Glad they left and started a new life. Hope the kids are safe from the nutjob, and I hope he never finds them like how he wrote in his creepy manipulative letter. He needs to stay in prison forever.
Make sure he doesn't follow through with this "promise" (really a threat) of finding his way back to them.
Make sure he doesn't know where they live, change their last names if they have to. Although by the time he gets out, his kids will be adults, he won't know what they even look like.
I don't want to think about what he could have done to his daughters or already has done to his daughters or both
I'd be willing to bet all i have that he's done things to his daughters. I hope the mother has asked them and they get help because im sure he did. He has no control of himself. Disgusting pos.
Same as Wayne Couzens wife. She was eastern european and thought she might go back, as folks might get annoyed with her, cos of what he did.
I know it's said that we all have passed a killer in the street, but......for once I can say he looks so "normal", like the guy down the street. No "crazy eyes" etc, if that makes sense. His wife never questioned his comings and goings at all hours?? Rest peacefully Libby.
Great to see the channel growing so quickly. Stand proud.
Pretty scary isn’t it? Apparently he had told her that he was going for a run whenever he left for the evening. Maybe she ought to have been a little more vigilant on her husband. And thankyou Sinéad! I appreciate you commenting!
You probably have a really good heart or really great at seeing the glass half full instead of the alternative. As soon as I saw the first pic he looked shady to me but to be fair that perception may also be based on the fact that I already knew he was the killer long before his picture showed up so the bias had already been planted.
I feel sorry for his wife too,
You make the same mistake as many people, dangerous killers don't look like dangerous killer, that's why they are so dangerous because people don't fear them when they see them. Look at the faces and life of the worst serial killers, most of them look like your boring neighbor, they are often married or in a long term relationship and their partners didn't suspect anything.
I don't know how old you are but you'd better learn quickly that appearances can be deceptive.
@@damienfavard2971 I guarantee I'm older than you think. And still alive. Just because I believe someone doesn't look like a killer, does not mean I'll engage with them.

Really glad that you've covered this case.
I graduated from Hull University in 2020 and lived on the same street that Libby was sadly taken from. I mention this because I know it's easy to feel frustrated towards her friends for not going back with her, so I just wanted to provide some context. Hull (for the most part) felt safe. That area felt safe. There was definitely crime, but everything felt familiar. When I was there, Hull taxis were a big deal (no uber allowed, not sure if that is still the case). You'd find your favourite company and you'd stick with them for your whole time there. There were even silly debates between students on which taxi company was the best. So I completely understand thinking that your friend would be safe if you put her into a taxi that you trusted would get her all the way home and see she was safe. Whilst I'm a firm believer of never leaving a drunk friend alone, the nights events could have still played out the same way if they'd have left her at her door and parted ways to their own accommodation.
To prevent this from happening to other women, I think crimes such as voyeurism and public indecency need to be treated with way more severity. I think someone else commented something similar - these crimes are all about control and having dominance over others. Making people feel weak and helpless and enjoying their fear/anxiety. A lot of men who murder women have a history of these acts and you can see it in the Sarah Everard case too. The garbage who took away Sarah's life in such a gruesome way also committed an act/acts of public indecency before his crimes against her.
We need to take a good look at how we view crimes against women. Sexual harassment and intimidation isn't just creeps being creeps, or one off spurs of the moment. These crimes can and do escalate. They will want greater and sicker kicks if nothing is done to stop them.
Hopefully we can make big changes and ensure that this doesn't happen again, and that we do all we can to prevent these crimes from happening.
RIP to Libby and condolences to her family. Let's keep talking about these cases to ensure these women are remembered and with any luck we can make small changes for the better every day.
Thank you for providing the context that some of know, having grown up in college/university areas. In my day, it's was either taxi or walk (way before Uber,etc). In fact, most cabbies would walk you to the door or, at least, wait until you opened it.
I also agree that these "minor" sexual crimes need to be looked at in a much more harsh way. There are times where they are just some young person hoping to catch a look, not realizing how they are violating someone else. But I believe most lead on to worse crimes.
"A lot of men who murder women have a history of these acts" - Yes. Including the Claremont Serial Killer, 1990s, in Western Australia. He went on living his life, unsuspected for 20 years. Finally identified & arrested in 2016, convicted in 2020.
Taking personal responsibility is also a good idea .. despite appalling rise in crime and media coverage, women still take stupid chances instead of making themselves aware of the situation they're getting into - either by walking alone across commons at night when they should have taken a taxi or deliberately getting drunk.
There definitely needs to be a more strict approach to harassment/peeping Tom etc cases
@Chris Sheridan I'm big on self-preservation at all costs. I take a lot of safety measures and encourage others to do the same. The thing is, as a woman, sometimes even the "safe option" feels like a danger. Myself and my friends have all experienced a dodgy uber/taxi driver at least once before, so even that feels like a risk if you're in an unfamiliar area. And we can't avoid going outside for fear of getting raped/murdered. Getting blackout drunk isn't a great decision obviously, but I think we have all been there at one point (guys and gals alike). You deserve the embarrassment and the sore head and your friends ribbing you, but you don't deserve your life being taken away by another. In this case, Libby was upset and she wanted to go home and she was asking for her mum. If this was any other average stranger in the street, they would have consoled her and tried to get in contact with her friends and called the police/ambulance. It's just tragic that she stumbled into this pos path. If this guy wasn't on the streets, she wouldn't have been murdered. In the case of Sarah Everard, her killer could have struck at any time of day because of him abusing his position in the police force. She got plucked from a busy, well lit street with plenty of traffic and I believe houses on either side too. She took the quickest route I believe, which is something also to weigh up as a woman. Which is safest and quickest? And sometimes there is no alternative route (or if there is, it's incredibly out of the way and actually would put you in more danger). When I lived in London, the only way to get to the tube to get to work was through a park. It had no lights and was just a proper crimewatch park honestly. But it was small. It would take 30 seconds to a minute to walk through it. I'd always try to have company or even adjust my work hours in the winter, but there would still be times I'd have to walk through it alone in the dark. If anything happened to me, I imagine there would be people wondering why I didn't go another route or why I wouldn't get a taxi. To me and the people living in that cul-de-sac, the answer would be obvious. But an outside perspective may struggle to understand. Anyway, I just wanted to provide some food for thought.
So his letter to his wife was basically "Hey babe how you doing? Don't bother running, I'm gunna find you and the kids eventually. P.S. Send me cable money"
Yes basically with couple orthographical mistakes. He was probably some low life piece of sh*t.
😕 Well...yeah actually, now that you pointed it out. Ew, he's so gross...
This man can get a wife and I can’t even get a text back, I’m down bad bruh 😂😂
Exactly what I thought too!!
That letter would be even funny if not tragic cause the amount of mistakes in polish and vocabulary makes that man seems to be uneducated even if its not the case. A lot of ppl from Poland write in polish very bad and seem to dont really care. I dunno how its in other countries.
Last time my friend was belligerently drunk and upset, I took her home and even tho she was telling me to leave, I made sure she was in her bed in her room. Because of stories like this. There is noone else to blame besides the perpetrator, but I cannot imagine the guilt her friend feels over not leaving with her. R.i.p
Why don't you care about your friends, do you like them to harm their bodies?
Make sure they sleep on their side too and not their back. I’ve seen friends so drunk/on other drugs I didn’t even want to leave them alone in their homes to sleep. I was scared they’d end up on their back and choke on their vomit. They told me to just go home and let them sleep but I stayed for a while anyways and watched them.
Thank you for being a decent human being.
Good for you!!! Very admiral of you
you didn't have to take her home, she decided to get drunk
Man. I wish she didn’t leave her house after she got home.
Ikr. RIP Libby.
While some people here be like blaming her friends for not dropping her home and put her to bed. 🙄
Then we wouldn't have this awsome story.
@@iwanaGoFast2010 how is this awesome?
@@ikik1410 Because
So its awesum that a woman lost her life so we hava video to watch how twisted can u be to think that
People really should take notice and call the police when hearing a woman’s screams. This happens far too often.
I carry personal alarms and whistles
Sadly you can't because so many fair skinned women think screaming is an expression of joy. If you come to their aid, they respond like you're the problem. At least here in the south in the US.
not in Poland :)
Completely agree in principle, difficult in practice. I use to live by a park and heard what I thought were screams so I went to investigate, turns out it was a fox. Had I called the police I could have been charged with wasting police time..
Once, I woke to a woman screaming for help repeatedly on the busy sidewalk below my apartment. I couldn't see her, but the contents of a purse were strewn everywhere, so l called 911. Girl was just super drunk and arguing with her bf. They found her a few blocks down. I was NOT charged with wasting police resources or time. I don't regret calling. But this was America, not Poland.
He not only sexually a assaulted a defenceless woman but even murdered her and he’s only facing less than 30 years with chance or parol? I was expecting life or at least 50 years. Whut?
No he got life he has the opportunity for parole at 27 years. I looked it up based on your comment. I honestly never want to see him released.
How come he didn't get the death penalty?
@@nanatv1507The UK abolished the death penalty decades ago

Thanks a million, I'm already hooked to your channel:)
Good investigation.
It’s heartbreaking 💔. But you are doing a great job with all your videos I wish u all the best from Yorkshire mate x
my sister was at university with Libby and I live down the road from the club she was last seen it, it's terrifying to think about this happening in your own city
Maybe address the victim blaming if any woman that gets drunk. Seriously it needs to come from a man.
This story is so terribly tragic with the coincidences that had to lineup for this young girl to lose her life. I am in my mid forties now but when I was younger and living in New Jersey, my friends and I often went across the Hudson into Manhattan because the best clubs were in the city. I cannot tell you how many times we were separated and I wound up taking a train home alone. When I think back on all of the stupid, alcohol fueled decisions I made that could have left me in a really dreadful situation, I am very, very grateful.
"... the stupid, alcohol fueled decisions I made that could have left me in a really dreadful situation, I am very, very grateful." Me too. I'm old now and booze-free but the mindset of young people that a good time must include getting shit-faced is insidious.
Same here. When we’re young, we don’t think about the dangers we put ourselves through, living carelessly. I’m grateful to God’s grace for protection and redemption 🙏🙏🙏
@@ec8787 amen!
All it takes is one time, one night. The things that had to line up for this to happen is sad. Imagine the guys who helped her up off the ground stayed 5 more minutes, maybe she never gets seen by the predator, or the cab takes a wrong turn getting to the bar/club and it takes another 5 minutes before it arrives. The circumstances for all this to line up is really crazy, it’s such an unfortunate case and I pray for her soul, I pray for her family, I pray for her friends and the guilt they must feel, I pray for the two guys who tried to help her out and got told to leave her alone, the guilt those guys might feel. All because one sick fuck happened to see her and notice she was Vulnerable such a shame.
@@danielandree3947 well said. I too pray for them as well. This story is a stark reminder that any of us could be a victim just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time and seen by the wrong person. I teach my daughter to always be aware of her surroundings, be smart, not to live in fear but at the same time know that there are predators out there.
For cases like this, there's been complaints about this guy for a years but the police did not do anything. The police never takes anything seriously until someone is dead. Very unfortunate. RIP angel.
"May you rot in hell, Pawel. 27 years is not enough."
Could have not said it better, that guy does not deserve any level of sympathy
That cut off "what the fuck-" was perfect.

Yes just shows he was disgusted as we all are.
If I were the wife and received that letter, I would freak out, change my name and live the rest of my life in hiding. What a despicable horrible man 😔
I know, right? it’s unbelievable that he has the audacity to ask her for commissary money after he was convicted of murdering a young college student!! Psycho!!
Thank you so much for covering this story about someone that I knew on a personal level.
It means so much and I know it means a lot to the family and the other friends of Libby too.
She was an amazing young lady and she was taken way too soon may she always rest in piece.

Sorry for your loss
It means a lot to the family? seriously? A video about her Killing and her Killer? Stuff only a RUclips Kid would say.
"may u rott in hell pavel, 27 years is not enough" truest words ever spoken!
The punishment for these monsters are way too light. They really need to be put down like the animals they are.

yes, that was funny
I hope that she gave him nothing. Except Divorce papers. Good riddance.
it actually sounds waaay worse in polish
Oh yeah yu know textbook shit
This is the first true crime case that has ever hit home for me due to it happening only a few streets away from where I was living at the time, in fact the only reason me and my housemates weren't out at Welly was because we weren't feeling it and just wanted to stay home. I never expected Libby's story to be covered by youtubers like this so thank you for treating it will respect. I never knew Libby personally but I have attended the remembrance events that were held on campus, she never deserved this and we were all relieved when we learnt of his arrest and later his sentancing so thank you again for treating this with respect
The bizarre nature of when she was dropped off by the taxi outside her flat is still baffling. Instead of going straight inside she did a u-turn around the corner, started sobbing and when witnesses came to see if she was ok she was aggressive towards them.
This was all before Relowicz even targeted her.
i always suspected she had realized she didnt have her keys. because nothing else really makes sense but of couruse, i could be off
@b m sadly her housemate was home and would have let her in if she forgot her keys.
If it was determined that she was 2 1/2 times the legal limit (alcohol) all rationality has already flown out the window.
She was drunk. I myself did many dumb moves drunk, that made no sense, for example randomly started running home leaving all my posession on the beach. Nothing happened to make me run. Just drunkenness
That guy was one of the creepiest and depraved person I've ever heard of...yet he looked almost TOO normal. Wife and kids. Normal face. Like he doesn't even "look like" the sick fuck he is. This one gives me fucken chills
No, he didn't. Look at his face on his wedding photo... That's not a face of a man that experiences emotions like normal people or he wouldn't look so odd, he would look HAPPY ffs.
@@AleksandarIvanov69 dont remember that picture honestly. But he just seemed like a normal dude to me. I wouldn't have second guessed him walking down the street one day with his wife and kids you know? Like he didn't set off my creepy meter. And that scares me. People who look normal.. when they aren't ...
I think we forget how often abusive and evil people don’t seem abusive and evil on the surface. unfortunately some of the greatest manipulators and criminals are attractive and likable to the people that believe they know them.
@@immanuelh.9708 to that I would say, have you been around such people and have you a solid, truthful moral education ?
Usually if you have been around such ppl with a solid, truthful moral education, you recognize them.
It's almost as if you couldn't tell a person's character from his facial features, and Lombroso and Disney movies were wrong all along. How weird, huh?
can't stop thinking about that witness who woke up to screaming and then heard screaming again a few minutes later... how do you hear screaming and not call the police??
The only time I heard something like that I called 911. Probably saved an entire family from their teenage son who ate and entire sheet of synthetic acid. He had already stabbed his mother and sister who where trying to stop him from harming himself. When police arrived they surrounded the entire house with ARs and K9s, when they finally entered and removed the family members it was too late for the young man. The drugs pushed him over the edge psychologically and he cut his abdominal entirely open and then cut his throat. No one else lost their life. You NEVER KNOW. If you hear a scream out of nowhere, call 911.
@bvaldebenitom wasn't even my call, the mother screemed out the window, so I asked my friend sitting on the porch across the street with me, and he said, if he herad another he would. So I called. A few minutes later a young woman (the sister) came sprinting full speed out the door, down the street screaming call 911! I think she ran to a nearby neighbor she knew. From what I could see in that short moment her shirt was quite torn and a little bloody but nothing I felt I needed to chase after her for. Within minutes of that happening, the police had the entire block surrounded. I'm talking I could see at LEAST 50 squad cars on my street alone. It all fell quite after they made entry. When they brought the mother out she hysterically fell to the ground bleeding badly, I had learned later that week she was stabbed 3 times by her own son. Who then took his own life horribly.
It's a city inside of a very large Metroplex, I happened to work at a hotel that had a police officer there every weekend, so the following weekend I asked the one on duty if he could tell me what actually happened because I watched it unfold and was the one who made the 911 call, and since he knew me pretty well he shared what he knew about it. I was MINDBLOWN.
The police do not serve and protect. Some folks, their first response is not to involve people who often make things worse.
@@SamanthaMcCollough in my city, they most certainly do. I know several of them personally from my years at the hotel I worked at and I feel safer knowing truly good cops are out there everywhere.
I think I remember seeing in another video that that field was used by teenagers all the time as a hangout/drinking spot and it was common to hear them shrieking/laughing/screaming as it is with drunk teenagers. I imagine the neighbor was somewhat used to it, although I still think it is better safe than sorry, they definitely should’ve called the police.
P.S.A Do Not Walk Home Alone At Night ! Drunk . Do not let your friends walk home drunk & alone !
P.S.A. if you see a drunk person wandering around alone at night don't rape and murder them.
Double P.S.A. Dont blame the victim for their own rape and murder.
@M. Cousin see the problem with that is, normal people don’t kill people, sick twisted people do (I know there are cases of normal people snapping) but by and large people like the dude who did this, are sick animals who prey on people, saying to them don’t kill people isn’t the route to go, it won’t change them. However showing cases like this to young people and explaining to them
1) don’t get so shitfaced you can’t walk straight is a decent idea
2) if your friend is that shit faces don’t just send them home, take them home (while most of the time they will get home safe you don’t want the time they don’t get home safe to haunt you for the rest of your life, you can always go party another day, or go back that same day)
3) always be conscientious about the Whereabouts of your friends even when you’re all in the club/bar etc. just because you’re in public doesn’t mean that a friend that is hammered won’t be lured away from the general public into a secluded area (drunk people are more trusting towards strangers and are more easily manipulated)
Moral of my post is, you can always have fun another night, you can never get rid of the guilt or party with a friend if they do become a victim, the party isn’t worth it, making sure your friend gets home safe is more important, even if they are a burden at that time and are a buzzkill for the rest of your group it’s always better to leave as a group then send the person home alone, even if you get them into a cab or Uber, they are drunk and if they act dumb enough might not make it home in said cab or Uber, and then will be stuck by themselves open to predators.
It’s much easier to teach young people that you can always go to another party/club/bar, go out another night, then it is to tell a sick predator not to prey on people.
@@scifi.ginger normal people don’t do that, the guy who did this is a serious predator, they don’t live by the standards society sets.
Read my above post.
It’s easier to teach young people who don’t know any better, that you can always party another night or go back to the party, making sure your friend is safely home, then it is to tell someone thats deranged not to do horrible things.
The original poster wasn’t putting the blame on the victim, they were saying that it’s not safe to walk home drunk. You can say that without saying that it’s her fault for walking home drunk.
@@scifi.ginger I’m definitely not blaming the victim there are sick twisted people in the world that’s why we don’t go out alone or leave our friends alone !

Funny to use that phrase when I think about the content of your posts and yet you tell the stories with such empathy. Thank you. I’m a fan.
i dont understand how a man can be seen multiple times looking through bedroom windows, a known thief of sexual things, and even on top of that, was seen in the streets with his pants around his ankles performing sex acts on himself, and not end up in jail or have anything done about it. also someone shouldve taken that taxi with the girl back to her house, and then rode back to the bar...it was so close by...
To be be fair tho she made it inside and then she came back out, so there is no telling if she would have done the same thing of her friend went back with her
The people who write our laws, do the same things.
Pussy laws by pussy people. To be blunt. Innocent lives have lesser value than a monsters. The very fact they entertained the idea this cold blooded murder could be allowed BACK into society to live their life outside and possibly repeat is so absurd. A crime of this nature only has one way to deal with it, there is no rehabilitation, you don't even get that luxury because you decided to take a life that wasn't yours. A plague of certain political mentality that puts degenerates and criminals as victims is in many Western countries. I am not talking about due process or grey-area cases, I am talking clear-cut cases where the murderer is caught and it's undeniable, it's fact.

Yeah...Why didn't she just stay in the house??? Where the hell was she walking to?
@@rayharvey1330 She was drunk. People who are drunk lose their inhibitions and ability to think rationally and do stupid stuff. That's why it's so important to stick together as a group and always have a sober friend around. Especially for young women, who really aren't safe.
A girl in a place I used to live in had a group of men jump out of a car, threaten her with a knife and steal all her things. She was walking home from the nearby bus stop at 7pm after going to uni. It wasn't a secluded area. And it was a wealthy, supposedly very safe residential area. It's pretty much a given as a woman that you're a target.
I am from Hull and this video is so very sad 😞 thanks for the such caring way you have told her story RIP Libby 💗
This is such a sad story. And her friends probably never thought anything like this would ever happen. Always have a designated sober friend. When I go out with my friend we have a “sober sister” who is basically the babysitter. Usually determined after a game of Rock Paper Scissors.

Or maybe.. drink responsibly, seeing as adults shouldn't need babysitters?
@@medicamedico4335 It's not just that, though. Some people get spiked, even if they're extremely careful and drink responsibly. A sober friend isn't just there to babysit, but there to hell if something like spiking or assault were to happen.
@@soapy5523 thanks for replying respectfully. Im not from the US and i kinda find the entire bar hopping culture, a haven for predators.
I think the friends did the best they could at the time. Put her in a cab. Took the driver's number. Requested he make sure she got into the house before leaving. It's annoying to have to end your evening prematurely because one of the gang decided to speed drink fully relying on you to keep them under control like a toddler. She got home safely. But she went out again. If she had stayed home she would still be alive. Sad but true.
this channel does a great job of showing respect for the victims and telling their stories instead of glorifying the acts of the criminals
I related when you’d said this case in particular hit home. I grew up in Hull, would occasionally attend Welly and walk home alone, drunk. Only just realising how blessed I was. RIP Libby.
This was tragically a case of "wrong place, wrong time". Some cases like this still ruminate in my mind weeks later. I feel so sorry for her.

Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it isn't literally a drug.
I’ve subscribed, you do a great job of telling the story in a respectful and interesting way. Look forward to more of your videos. You also pick different stories ones i haven’t heard of. Keep it up
Hi really enjoy your videos..Good Narrator ,,stay safe from New Zealand
Hi, I just stumbled onto your channel. This story is absolutly heartbreaking. 27 years is nothing compared to the life he has taken. Such a sad story. May Libby rest in peace.
Plus prior crimes! Praying on vulnerable women
May Libby haunt him and all other similar criminals too
I actually lived in Hull for 6 years. You said a stroke of luck that some men helped her up off the street but the people of Hull are lovely. Someone always helps when others are in trouble, I'm shocked this crime happened! I've walked back home on my own drunk from welly many times, gives me the chills.
I used to live in Hull and met some great people. I actually painted the inside of the Welly club many years ago. A horrible matt purple colour IIRC! lol
That letter sounds like a threat more than a love letter... Jeez.
The letter made me laugh, cause I pictured how it sounds from the perspective of his wife. A murderous psychopath telling her "love me and I will come back", she was like "NOPE!" :D
You are the best with your true documents. Better than anyone else. You have empathy for victims and their families. Your young and to come up with this idea was brilliant. I hope you continue for many more years . I think they have right guy
It's so saddening and infuriating that these kinds of things happen. Libby had so much life yet to live but this creepy predator had to snuff it out in one night. I'm thankful that CCTV and police were able to catch him.
It took me so much to watch this. I was at the same uni the same time she went missing. It was horrifying for those several weeks but the support the uni gave was amazing. Murals everywhere. And the bench where Libby was last seen is permanently made into a mural for her and is utterly beautiful.
I was in tears listing to this, thank you for telling it in such a respectful way.
Thankyou for such an empathic way of telling Libbys case... Truly heartbreaking that something so heinous could happen to someone so innocent and vulnerable... Rest in peace Libbys xx
It's tragic that she didn't go into her apartment when she got home.
I do wonder why she would just wonder out into the street.
@@walzy8130 i think maybe she was mad at that her friend were partying so she wanted to go for a walk/go out by herself? Thats what i think tho
@@walzy8130 She was also highly intoxicated. You're not thinking straight. Someone should have been with her.
I think she couldn't find the keys probably
Women already make irrational decisions sober much less drunk!
Your compassion and enthusiasm on each case is amazing, found my new binge channel so Thankyou
Thankyou Sofia! Welcome aboard, I'm glad you like my content, and I'll see you in the next one tomorrow!
In the most calm and genuinely polite voice: 'May you rot in Hell, Pawel'
weirdo
Absolutely sad for Libbie! Thank you for sharing her story💕💕
Rest in Peace, Libby Squire. I'm sorry the world is filled with evil people. You deserved so much more.
No its not "filled"... Most people are good, otherwise homicide rates would be enormous
@@meinsouza ,,, How high would the numbers have to be, before you say "that's enough"...
I wonder could you cover a case from my hometown in Galway Ireland. It’s a case about a 16 year old Norwegian student who was murdered on her first day here. So sad. Really enjoying the channel, fair play!
Wow! That's just REALLY terrible luck
That’s terrible, what was her name ?
She was actually Swiss,17 and had arrived three days prior to being killed. Her name was Manuela Riedo
This is why I either walk my friends home, or go back to our hometown with them by taxi. There's no way I'm going to send a friend of mine home alone in a taxi, especially if they're a lady.
I'd rather have to cut a night out short, than to get the news that I could have saved a friend of mine from a fate like this.
Spot on.
🙏🏻
Snap
That’s the way it should be done. Hope more ppl think like you! 🌹
@@Cherriepo Thing is, that when you’re intoxicated, you can’t think right. Her friends really messed up by assuming she would just stay home safe. What if the taxi driver decides to rape/kill her? It was very irresponsable in their part.
The sad thing is, she made it safely home, but decided to go out again while still under the effects of drink. This was a poor decision that ended up costing her life. There are A LOT of predatory "people" out there just waiting for their "opportunity". Be careful, evil often lurks just around the corner.
.. it was entirely her choice - it was her fault she wasn't allowed to stay with her friends because she enjoyed drink more than their company. Stupid decisions = stupid outcome. Simple logic.
@@molliemoore7524 That's not what Chris said. Don't put words in peoples mouths.
@@Chris_Sheridan Drinking alcohol is not a stupid decision, neither is going out at night in one of the safest countries in the world. PeopIe IikeurseIf are the reason these things happen and why perpetrators get off easy and recommit, no sense of humanity for the victims and expect them to live like robots without any desires and sense of independence.
Statistically, one is several hundred times more likely to die in a car crash than by kidnap and homiciide. So, if yuoever get hit by a drunk driver, do conceded that it would have been the fauIt of no one buturseIf for getting in the car in the first pIace?
"SimIe logic" for a simpIe mind. CriticaI thinking skiIIs are important, y'know.
@GeeBee .. that's the problem though - she did not go home; she carried on walking around the streets totally out of her head and drunk - it was her decision. She put herself into a potentially unsafe situation - also she willingly got into a stranger's car. Totally her fault.
Even government warnings have often repeated 'drink responsibly' for health reasons - equally applicable is to consider your ability to drive or cycle safely as well as personal responsibility.
Only stupid and naive people drink to get drunk - it takes a special kind of stupid to be so drunk that you are barred from entering a club, especially if you're the only one among your friends who has been stupid enough to do that.
Statistics are worthless - they did not save this girl's life.
Anyone who relies on CCTV, personal 'phones, a so-called well lit area, morons who say that an area is safe (until something happens) is basically asking for trouble.
"please, please - here I am - drunk myself into a stupor - tottering all over the place - left my friends - can't think clearly - come get me - I'm all yours! Lol!"
@@Chris_Sheridan Victim blaming much today, are we? You're messed up dude. Seriously.
This is my hometown and it truly shocked us. If only she went home and accepted the help as sadly ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and preyed on by that monster. RIP Libby..... hull will never let you be forgotten
Yea, but imagine if he didnt get caught this time, there could be many more victims like her. He was obviously going to start a rampage. In the sad way, she saved lives, giving her own.
Poor girl, she was just living her life as many of us would have, the kind of predation women face is terrible. Also, the audacity of that creep to say what he did in that letter to his ex-wife and ask for money on top of that! That nearly made me cry angry tears, he just sees women as objects to toy with.
@Renegade Siha yikes, sweetie. Everyone can be attacked when theyre drunk and its not sexually motivated but by in large, females are the big targets. By ... a fucking lot.
I can guarantee you that "being drunk" is WAY more of a "be careful" and "take care of yourself" for one gender over another :/
However, I do understand your assertion: the gender of the individual does not dictate the devastation. The impact is impactful
@@bluej2873 Renegade is one of those masculinists who always pull the "but men can be hurt too" card when they clearly know that the majority of violence is towards women. It saddens me how pathetic some of my fellow males are becoming with this sexual one-upmanship.
@@krashd you think women don’t care about men? Or our sons?
@@whitedragoness23 do you think men care about your daughters?
By and large, yes, but that spin does have a different connotation, inherently. Just check pornhubs front page 😄
@@bluej2873 I don’t go to those kind of sites....let alone know their names like you do so that’s gross. And not all men are monsters and some do get killed horriable. Some women do lure young girls to their deaths because the men can’t get close to little girls so women “provide” a victim. I’ve seen some cases of women killing their own children.
In real life I’ve seen a mother use her daughter so men would pay attention to her and left men in their care...both women and men commit crimes. This shouldn’t be a competition since both men and women and children die.
This hurt to watch. 27 most definitely isnt enough. What a disgusting creep.
27 years is actually a very good sentence for the UKs poor conviction sentences. Some just get 12-14,,some even less with a good lawyer. I
Foreign bastard
He will not even spend 27 years, he will be released maybe even sooner. There is not justice
If he has money he can leave a lot sooner for sure
It’s not 28 , that’s just the minimum
His letter at the end, expressing claims of "love" and eventually being manipulative through that sentiment is so scary. Some people can really be complete monsters, commit the worse acts of psycopathy and betrayal, and still expect your loved ones to still love you? to still help you? Absolutely not. Really makes the inability to ever trust someone again stronger.
irony is.... his mommy still loves him! and society wonders why these monsters don't think they are in the wrong!
I live in hull and remember this happening, I randomly came across this video and it truly shook me to the core more so when I saw it on the news. I’m Libby’s age and go to Hull Uni. Horrible to know there’s people out there like that, especially so close. 27 years is not enough!
Love your channel and the content. Your voice is so soothing. I can’t imagine how petrified this poor girl was. My heart breaks for her. Rest In Peace Libby. 😢
"Decided not to wear my red shirt for this one."
Yeah, good choice.. Hahahah
I Feel so bad for laughing
That joke really took me by surprise. Seriously though, that shirt really looks similar 😭
I don't get it though... his shirt is exactly identical to the murderer 🙈
@@soonsims his is orange
@@GavinOlla1 Ohh thank you now I get it! To me it seemed the same color 😁
Adrian my friend, thank you for your videos. I watch a lot of your stuff before I crash. You always bring it in great and do awesome on research. I salute you, thanks again!
Adrian tells these stories with dignity and care. He is a star!
Yeah, I agree. I must admit that his voice adds to the “formality” of it. If that makes sense.
When I go out with friends and if one it's not allowed in the club we ALL go to another. We've never leave someone behind, specially if they're so drunk that they can hardly stand by themselves. We all stick together always.
How about not getting drunk.
You've got amazing smart friends and are an amazing friend yourself. I was never this fortunate as a teen, all my friends would leave me behind when I wasn't allowed in or had to leave early. I think people often think nothing bad can happen to themselves or their friends, until it actually happens. Then, surprise pikachu face when people find out they're not invincible
@@WildVee She better or she will be next lol.
This one really hits home. In 2019 I got too drunk on a night out, and got lost trying to change buses at 2am. I called a bolt car to take me home, but when it did, the driver put me in the back seat and r*ped me. I think all the time how easily he could have killed me if he wanted to.
Rest in power, Libby, and all the other vulnerable young women who have been taken advantage of.
that's why u shouldn't drink. it's not worth it. Leave yourself vulnerable & wake up fatigued
I'm deeply sorry that happened to you. How are you doing now? In spite of what another reply has suggested, the problem is not that you were drinking; the problem was that someone felt he was entitled to your body. He took advantage of you while you were in a vulnerable state and thought he could get away with it. There are countless layers of complex reasons why your attacker was empowered to do what he did. Know that none of them were a result of your own actions. You are not at fault. I sincerely hope you've heard those words before. I wanted to say them just in case you haven't. "Drinking too much" is such a shallow explanation for the cause of your trauma. Don't let anybody reduce your experiences to a morality lesson. You deserve infinitely better than that.
Did you report this at all?
Was he caught?
And what is a bolt car?
Sorry for asking!
@@oldbabyseasoning Well written. I could actually feel the meaning behind every soothing word you wrote. Every one has gone through some kind of trauma (not necessarily as bad as this). Your words helped.
Thanks you do awesome work retelling the truth with such love and understanding! NZ watching
This case really hits home for me, I was a student in Hull and lived in the same area as Libby (a couple of years previously), my friends and I spent a lot of time at Welly and definitely gone home alone on occasions. Libby wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary, and it makes me sick to my stomach to know that monster was walking around the streets waiting for someone to cross his path. Libby, her family and her friends are always in my thoughts ❤️
This guy will always be a danger to women. He should be locked up forever
As a guy I say throw away the key.
I might be a bit harsh but I feel like his prison should be 6ft under.
@Bass Slapper Because she was drunk, tired, upset and cold. Nobody thinks clearly in such a state and neither would you. Just fucking think for a minute
@Bass Slapper Because she was drunk!? Did you watch the video at all? Victim blaming at it's finest. We are bashing at the disgusting killer and you talk about her getting into a car drunk. Fuck off
No cure for men like him, he will always be a danger to women! So scary✌️♥️
100% agree , this man should never walk the streets again .
@@joaquimrodriguez8961 What does flashing ass have to do with it? I see many drunk women dressed provocatively and give them lots of room... Not interested. Plus woman and men fully covered can still be victims of crime
I think what he meant is because revealing clothes often attract unwanted attention that could lead to bad things and yeah, I agree, even covered people can be attacked too.
@@agentorangecb1 Yes, but women's safety advice at night even includes such things as tucking your hair inside your coat collar so you don't look overtly feminine and so an obvious target. It's ok to dress scantily when you're with a group of friends (if that's your norm), but on your own it's the worst idea ever in my opinion
@@agentorangecb1 That's true, even covered women can be victims to these monsters. But the chances are lower against more skin revealed type.
And you're not interested, I'm not interested and so many other men. But there are rarely monsters roaming among us. that's a sad fact.
Great stories , great narrator, if fact a great all round production 👏 keep up the great work ! Thankyou J
This is an incredibly heartbreaking case. I can't even imagine the pain that she must have gone through and her friends and family are going through as well
This one is so scary. I'm from Hull and used to go to Welly frequently (pre-covid). I'm so glad my friends and I always got taxis together to make sure we all got home safely.
I go to this uni, I remember seeing the posters around campus, we initially thought she fell in the river as was common for people out drinking. I never knew this girl but it is chilling that this happened so close to me. My parents got really protective of me even though I don't go out drinking or clubbing. It was frustrating watching this man constantly slip out of police's hands and I'm glad the scumbag has finally gotten caught.
Binge watching all your videos, your way of speaking is so kind and genuine. love your videos
Wow your channel is growing! Congrats.
"she had too many drinks that evening", that sentence comes out as sadly familiar...
There is no situation that alcohol doesn't make worse.
Victim blamey. The drink didn't rape and murder her. A rapist and murderer did. Someone like him was gonna to do this to someone, he was hunting for his next victim. He is the problem, not something the victim did.
@@IrishHoopers It's not blaming the victim to look at behaviors that increased her danger, you smooth-brained parrot.
It's reducing the risk to future targets. Predators don't do well without easy targets.
@@stevenschnepp576 Amen. We need to take responsibility for ourselves. I can assure you that if she had gotten behind the wheel of a car and mowed down a family going on a camping trip that the sentiments of her supporters would be different.
At some point you need to take responsibility for yourself and not blame the world around you though. It would be nice if there were no rapists, murderers, thugs, serial killers, terrorists etc in the world but there is and no amount of online virtue signalling will change that so just be accountable for yourself. Jesus, I'll never understand people who seem to get off on being a victim. You think men are not victims too? I used to walk around all the time at night feeling safe until a group of thugs sucker punched me and put their boots into me when I was on the ground. Did I cry woe is me? Blame the world? Lol no, who would care if I did?
I looked for more practical solutions including buying a car and
I planned my nights out better so I always knew how I was getting home and knew I wouldn't be running the gauntlet walking home drunk at 3am.
Sorry if this comes off as blunt but screaming at the 99.9% of men who are complete gentleman about the acts of a minority like the scumbag in this video is about does nothing but create division.
I get it, I love the idea that we could create this utopian society where people of all ages and gender could walk home freely as inebriated as they like without the threat of violence, honestly it sounds great!
But I can also tell you that world will *never* exist. As long as humans whether by nature or nurture have the capacity to do evil you will always have people amongst us with bad intentions - best you can do is try to protect yourself at all times.
I live in Hull and will never forget the day she was declared missing. The whole city searched and prayed for her to be found safe. We also mourned for her when her body was finally found. Fresh flowers are placed at her memory bench often, and a painted mural is now on the wall behind the bench where she sat before meeting that monster. Rest in peace Libby
Thank you Adrian 🇦🇺
I'm kind of worrying about the wife and the children after his release.
He's not joking when he wrote that he would come to find them.
@Bass Slapper she was obviously intoxicated/drunk. She might not have been in her right state of mind. Even so.
It gave the man no right to follow her and kill her....she was walking perfectly fine on her own
@Bass Slapper stfu
@Bass Slapper Maybe he said he could give her a ride home. She could be naive af. Why didn't her Boyfriend pick her up though. Many questions only them 2 know the answer to.
I know I can’t wait for the next video.
@Bass Slapper It's incredibly disgusting of you to say such a thing. Implying she was going to cheat or what? So you think that excuses her killing?
Do you realize a drunk person cannot legally give consent? Do you also realize we have that law for a reason? If you're this ignorant about intoxication, keep your thoughts to yourself. It's pretty obvious she wasn't fully herself due to how much alcohol she had in her system. A person in such a state cannot think rationally or make normal decisions. To blame her for getting murdered though is just.. wow, where has humanity gone this wrong lol.
I can't imagine the guilt and regret her friends must feel. If someone is too intoxicated to enter a club/bar that means they are also too intoxicated to go home alone. It doesn't matter if you get a taxi because the moment one gets out of the car they can be in danger.
Libby, I did not know you but I know that you didn't deserve any of this. I hope you find peace in the end. RIP 🕊
She went home and then left again, even if they’d gone with her and watched her walk in the door she’d still have walked back out
Not their faults at all, and they shouldn’t feel guilty
Why do I have to be responsible for stupid decisions others make .When do you be responsible for your own actions
@@ceedee876 agreed she made that decision. She was not stupid and knows the consequences.Sure not the first time she's done this
They don't ....
She was a adult she made her own choices maybe this will be a life lesson for someone else.
This channel gives me That Chapter vibes.. you’ll do good mate !
Was literally just going to comment he's very similar to Mike O' /That Chapter !!
This is obviously a new channel, which I am delighted came up on my recommendations! You and Mike are similar yes but also have your own uniqueness which like above person mentioned^^ Your channel is gunna Blow up this year ^^ Welcome, well done & look forward to your new Vids
yeah, he even uses the same background sounds
I am an avid viewer of That Chapter, and Coffeehouse Crime - both are such fantastic channels 👏
Same! I just may sub
@@ramon3897 Really? RTGame and CallMeKevin are literally the exact same channels but different people. If other youtubers can do this peacefully in the gaming section, then why can't commentary channels on murders do it too?
Chill out, sit down, and just enjoy both channels for goodness sake. Are ya gonna complain that restaraunts shamelessly serve the same types of foods next too? 😂
I live in this city and have followed this story from beginning. Thankyou for covering this
I'm from Hull, it's quite surreal to watch this video... A lot of people helped to look for her, we all checked news feeds as much as possible after she went missing. Just awful, poor girl
In the past few weeks, I have fallen completely in love with you Your oration, sincerity, manner, pattern of speaking, lovely eyes, and disposition! Thank your parents for their wonderful genetics and for making you for me! You're OUTSTANDING!!!
I discovered your channel yesterday and I love it! I've got a cuppa (coffee) and am about to nestle into my couch to watch another episode while my household is still sleeping. You're so calm and informative and it's obvious you put in a lot of time and research. This is like a condensed murder mystery novel!
Beautiful compssionte mnner in which you tell these true life crimes ✨☘️🙏God bless you
I love how you humanise the victims. So many videos like this go for sensation and focus on the killer. It's refreshing and worth a subscribe, great content.
