- This footage captures the last ever public appearance of Hollywood sex therapist Amie Harwick before her murder in February 2020. A subsequent investigation into her death will require police to go back years in time, in the process revealing a spine-chilling truth - that the same night this footage was taken, her killer was just feet from her. And he’d been watching her for almost a decade.

For all the people judging the roommate, I just read a story the other day about a guy beating on his girlfriend in a Walmart parking lot, a good Samaritan saw it and yelled through window for him to leave her alone and dude pulled out a gun and shot him dead. He left behind a wife and 5 kids and the guy that shot him could’ve cared less. Easy to say from the comfort of your computer or phone what someone else should do
Exactly what I’ve been saying. People are so dumb. The guy testified and made his position very clear. Not that he had to explain himself, that’s not why he was on the stand. He was guilty of absolutely nothing, Gareth is. Meanwhile Amie hadn’t installed a home security alarm, had no gun, no guard dog. Nothing.
Well if you see some crime happening right in front of you, it's best to always call the police!
@@lindajackson2382 I’m pretty sure that was his point…..
@@lindajackson2382Call the police for what? So they can show up 45 mins later & do nothing? Smh...go sit down
Some of us would rather die.
If your friend's stalker ex confronts them in public DO NOT LET THEM GO HOME BY THEMSELVES
Well, she was driven home by her friend and then had her roommate at home and a supposed security system, so she was not alone.
The actual attack was like almost a month after the confrontation. It wasn't the same night.
@@NikkiC777 Oh, thanks... I obviously missed that part.
Good thing neither of those things happened
She's beautiful, that's why she got killed. 😢
Murder by stalking is one of the most predictable and common crimes. The fact that law enforcement, and the justice system does not take stalking seriously is mind boggling.
It's patriarchy
Do you really think that murder by stalking is one of the most predictable and common crimes? Lol. You are an as shole
Not really
@@jaydub4661you’re an id!0t. Tell me don’t know shit about the law without telling me
It would have helped her tremendously if she had reported the abuse at the times that it happened.
Something that cannot go without mentioning is, if your stalker wants to talk at any point for any reason… don’t do it. You cannot deescalate crazy. I think the Dr. Figured if she’d just hear him out it would reduce his anger and anxiety but honestly, it reignited his desire. He stalked her for eight years without fail, its clear he wasn’t going to quit. I wish she would have left town went into hiding but its one of those situations that don’t have rules. So very sad
No, his desire was “reignited” (if it ever even died down) by seeing her with Drew Carey. You’re forgetting that before she even agreed to talk to him, he stalked her to that event and angrily confronted her. Of course she was trying to de-escalate the situation because she knew if she didn’t talk to him, it’d make him angrier and he’d cause an even bigger scene. But unfortunately, talking to him also had the same effect. I think rather than leaving town and going into hiding, she should’ve gotten a gun.
@@BijinMCMXCexactly. She was at a professional setting and this psycho who the police and courts won’t help her with shows up. What option did she have? Law enforcement didn’t help, courts didn’t help, so she had to choose between having this insecure baby ruin her career or trying to manage the situation herself. She was put in an impossible situation by both this idiot AND our unhelpful system. The only thing she really objectively could have done differently was arm herself. The situation was already as dangerous as it gets, he was physically much bigger and stronger, her only hope for an equalizer was a weapon. 2A all the way.
@@virginiaordaya Like that ever works out.
@@virginiaordaya Yeah restraining orders are great against ppl who actually have some fear of the consequences of violating them. They don’t work against a crazy person determined to kill you. It’s just a piece of paper at the end of the day, not an armed security detail…
@@pipermccool Like what ever works out? Having a GUN against someone that can easily overpower you?
It's scary that 8 years had passed and was still murdered by this sorry excuse of a "man". I've been in that situation and 8 years later I felt safe. Poor woman, what a years-long nightmare she endured and ended up dead anyways. RIP 😔
It’s been 8 years for me , and I still don’t feel safe .. 😢
I try my best everyday tho. ❤️
@@sweetnhumbled3616maybe try and publicly address things?
@sweetnhumbled3616 I'm so sorry you have to live this way. I am finally free, but I can understand what you are going through. Some men are so weak that they have to persecute a woman they supposedly once loved to feel power. Please be on your guard and I sincerely hope there is an end to this for you ❤.
It’s been 13 for me and it took me about 5 to stop checking my backseat and checking my locks and windows every night, paranoid about who is around me or driving beside me or parking near me. Took a long time to be alone and not be afraid. PTSD is no joke.
I was stalked by an ex and I had to get a restraining order he kept coming to my home and my new life. He finally found someone to bother us my guess
The irony of being in a abusive relationship, as a relationship therapist is super sad honestly.
What came before... the chicken, or the egg.
I think many people have a blind spot, and that spot usually is themselves. I've known people who are very insightful and helpful when it comes to others but lacking when it comes to managing their own lives
She had literally been broken up with him for almost a decade! She had a restraining order against the creep, she was NOT in an abusive relationship anymore, you make it sound like she was still dating the guy and hadn’t broken things off with him almost a decade earlier as soon as his abusive colours showed up.
an* abusive
@@siiiiiuu7🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
I had to say one more thing… the stalker registry would be AMAZING! I really really hope that is put into action! I’ve had multiple stalkers and they should be put on that registry to save other women. That’s definitely something I’d fight for and vote yea on
Yes, this should be implemented internationally. Not just for the safety of women but for men too. Look at Travis Alexander and Jodi Arias or Valerie Solanas and Andy Warhol. Erotomania and other other conditions that lead to stalking need to be taken more seriously.
My sister was stalked before she even turned 10. The little boy used to wait outside of our house every single morning before school to walk with her. He would get his mum and sisters to suggest that they should date. This went on until they were in their mid to late teens when he mother caught him being f**ked by a dude and he confessed to being a homosexual. After that he started trying to look just like my sister which was weird because he was a very pale complexioned "white" boy with naturally orange hair and orange eyes, and my sister is a light to medium yellow-brown complexioned multiracial "black" girl with red brown eyes. They looked nothing alike.
Recently he told my mother who finds us being harassed funny, (I've been stalked and sexually assaulted myself) that he had seen my sister and I walking around the area, but the thing is, we didn't see him...
The hard thing would be like they’d have to be like legally documented cases of stalking and like in Amy’s case she really couldn’t prove much she just thought he was the one terrorizing her on and off all that time.
Oh hell yes! I’m 100% for that too!!
Sorry billions to Ukraine and the middle east takes priority over our own citizens in the US
A domestic violence registry too
to be stalking someone 10 years and lying in wait for 4 hours he is a complete nut
Sad thing is, he'd have such an easy life, he was a good looking guy.
All he had to do is 'act normal' and he'd have plenty of beautiful women at his feet. But, because he had a screw loose, he couldn't see it was he that he was the problem and ruined two lives because of it.
Personally, I can't imagine hearing my friend screaming in pain/terror without going to investigate. More than that, I can't imagine going to a neighbors house while all of this is happening. I just can't. I realize this is easy for me to say since I haven't and hopefully will never be in a similar situation but still. Seriously wtf?
And at the risk of sounding sexist, what kind of man runs away when he hears a female friend screaming?? Okay, now I'm done.
I was thinking the same thing... He just left her to fight for her life when he clearly heard she was in distress
Agreed the dude seems feckless.
Coward isn’t even a strong enough word for that dude
I was thinking the same thing I have ran to my neighbors aid when i heard her screaming while her boyfriend was beating her up and I'm a female I kicked her f**king door in. But from the looks of it he's feeling the remorse and guilt and will for a long time
Great friend, he could have saved her
What he stated about Game of Thrones and then her being tossed off the balcony is really creepy.
that laughter in the end was scary and said so much.
Everyone failed her. Her feelings were always right. Rest in peace. I’m disappointed in the police of not taking her seriously
They took her seriously,100 percent, but they are limited in what they can do. Place the blame with her friends where it belongs. They were in much better position to help her.
what evidence suggests police didn't take her seriously?
In the Holy Bible it says that "There is no rest for the wicked". How you people think that people rest in peace? Where are their souls? How do you know? God's word says that we are not to do many of the things that are known to man today. She was associating with KNOWN prostitutes! The "porn industry" is nothing but wide spread prostitution. This is a SIN! And the Holy Bible says "none are perfect, no not one; for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 and in the next verse "for the wages of sin is death (Hell) but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ." So unless she was a Christian (which she wasn't) she's not where the angels and God are. So no - no rest for the wicked! 🤔
The soy boy friend who ran instead of helping her has a lot to answer for
The court system definitely failed her.What the fuck was the lack of evidence they speak off? I am guessing pictures were taken, along with statements especially when someone breaks into your house. This guy should have been thrown in jail. They pretty much emboldened this asshole to kill her. America's justice system is corrupt and a joke like always.
In court he looked *NOTHING* like he use to...I would never have guessed they were the same person.
Why does that shit even matter?
He gained probably 50 lbs. But he was charged with murder, stress eating isn't unheard of.
Leads me to believe he was on drugs which is why he was such a frickin psycho.
My first husband abused me. I left him after the second time he almost killed me. It’s been 23 years. We are friendly now, online. He got help after I left him and has been clean and sober for a very long time. He went back to school and became a nurse to help other people. I was the story he would tell in AA and in group therapy. He recently bought a house and rehabbed it. It’s beautiful. He told me I should come visit and see it in person. I could really use some time away and he lives in a vacation area. It sounds nice.
I’m so not going!
Rest in peace, Dr. Amie.
You should totally go.
Do not go! You only have his word he's changed.
@@shirley-ie5vjabsolutely not
do NOT GO .
Do not go. I'm not saying that we (addicts) cannot change because we do. The program works if we work it 😉 but leave him in your past, where he belongs
"I feel like a widower, you know, in a lot of ways, because I wanted to marry her, and then we had this horrible breakup," Carey says. "And then before I could talk to her again, somebody killed her."
This is what Drew Carey had to say about her murder. :(
My heart goes to all that loved her so sad
Oh how tragic. I watch the price is right every day with my little couple I care for. You can tell he is such a genuine soul and cares deeply for others. He has had a hard life, it seems. I do pray he finds someone that will love him back the way he loves, and more. This entire story is just tragic.
Goddamn that is hilarious! Fucking Drew Carey is hysterical 🤣🤣🤣
@@DontPretendtoCare get help loser 😂😂
@@DontPretendtoCarewtf 🤨
A stalker registry is an excellent idea.
horrible idea. Women would put innocent men on there destroying the guys life.
@@mmm-ie5wsin a week no one has agreed. I have a 10 year restraining order and i couldn't agree more. You dont go to the trouble to do legal shit.
Protection orders do get mis-used by both men and women, it is up to the Judge to see evidence and decide who should or shouldn’t get an order, My nasty neighbor, a woman hated me for buying the house she wanted right across the road from her, she wanted to get rid of me by taking out a false order with no evidence, I put up a fence, 5 years later she has not stopped, she is the stalker and the harasser, really unbelievable. I got 2 watch dogs and ADT and a gun, she is just as bad as the stalker I had to get an order against in Oregon, I moved and my God I moved next door to the community psycho, It’s very stressful because law enforcement doesn’t care, And yes she is just as dangerous.
@@Lena-so2lq It's been 2 months and, according to your logic, nobody has agreed with you either. That's not how comment "likes" work here, though. It often just means more people have downvoted than upvoted.
And you are quite wrong. There are a LOT of people, both women and men, who falsely accuse. Many times it gets filtered out because of the requirement of evidence. Sometimes it doesn't.
I think the registry could be a good idea if it required proof. At the very least, a very solid conviction. But dismissing the fact that false accusations are made is as bad as dismissing valid accusations. You're insulting victims.
@@p5eudo883 2 months later you come for me? I see one like. I dont see anyone agree with your blathering 🤣
It makes me sick that people reach out for help and nothing is done until there’s a body.
End his own life. How ridiculous. Narcissists don't end their own life. They delusionally think they're way too important and the world revolves around them. They think far too highly of themselves to end it.
Shit, get that thesis published! Turns our years of academia on the subject is wrong.
Nah, if they see no way out or are seeking revenge they will take their own life
They do end their own lives because they want to be in control.
Some of them do but not all of them bc even narcissists are acting differently , they are not acting exactly the same… it’s too easy for you to claim they all are doing the same bc all narcissists do/don’t care or dare…
🧐let me see…what is your username… is it - hug a heather ? 🤭
No group of people is a monolith.
Can you imagine being on a first date with a guy and the cops show up to arrest him for burglary and murder?
😮
Lucky escape
This is when 👻 is appropriate lol
It wasn't their first date. They'd hung out before and had been intimate. Also, he wasn't really dating her. He was just occupying his time with her. He was really just obsessing over Amie the whole time all those years. He told one of her friends that she was the "one" and no other woman could measure up.
Whoever denied her restraining order is guilty of her death. Disgusting
It wasnt denied it expired. Given the lengths he went to I doubt it would have made a difference either. A restraining order doesnt mean police monitor you 24/7, just means if you break it you pay.
She either needed a bodygaurd, a better alarm system, or a room mate that wasnt a complete coward.
@@johnfrankster3244Exactly
Restraining order means nothing to someone who will kill.
That wouldn’t necessarily stop him. Why didn’t she have a home alarm system ? A gun ? A guard dog ?
So youre saying a piece of paper will stop a psycho from breaking and entering and murdering you? Wow what magical paper is this? I want one. Nope sorry hun, stop typing with your feeeeweengs and use some logic here.
My boss was close with Aimee. I've heard a small part of this from him. It clearly affected him as she was such an incredible person. As usual, you did an amazing job respecting and honoring the victim. Now seeing you cover a case so close to home it reinforced how great this channel is.❤
Then why didn't he help her while she was alive?
Reading through the IG hashtags, Justice for Amie, Dr. Amie Harwick and Amie Harwick, you really get a sense of who she was as a person. Everyone seemed to love her, and she genuinely seems to have been a wonderful person. Which makes her death even more heartbreaking. I hope your boss is doing ok... at least now everyone who loved her can start to heal now that GP has been convicted.
@@KERockz70908 you are so kind.🖤
@@KERockz70908 They loved her but were unwilling to help her.
@@haji818721 Why do you assume it was his job to help Amie ? How utterly ridiculous. She got involved with strange people. She chose to date a guy who had a weird life. And she failed to protect herself. No home alarm system. No gun. No guard dog. She played around with people like Marilyn Manson. She was no Girl Scout. Amie was a satanic type, her buddy Robert is into witchcraft. She was going to go to a lame restaurant called the witchery. She had ISSUES. As an adult she made poor choices.
This is so tragic. There are no words. She was so beautiful, inside and out. Gareth is a text book narcissist. He couldn't handle the fact that she got away from him and moved on. Well ..tried to.
no it's funny, I don't feel bad for anyone in this story lol
@@salis-salis evil..
@@salis-saliswhy not?
Please explain i cant understand your position.
He beat her
And then stalked her.
And then murdered her.
What beauty has to do with it. Ugly people are less deserving of living, you mean?
8 years later. He’s so so dangerous
That’s some real obsession, what a loser
Yes definitely and they should never let him out. He is a total POS and a total psycho too. Look at his dad though he has had restraining orders against him too so it is no mystery where he learned that behavior.
I hate cases like this so much. The frustration and anger ugh. She was supposed to be protected from that pos. She took all steps to protect herself but that was never enough. Of course it wasn't. It never is. There should be stricter laws and implementation to KEEP stalkers from ruining other people's lives.
She needed a concealed carry
@@jacobcarrillo7896 Guns aren't always the answer for safety. In many cases they escalate situations unnecessarily. And public gun ownership absolutely does increase gun violence and killings. The fantasy of it being overwhelmingly positive in prevention of victimization is demonstrably false. Look at gun violence statistics in nations around the world. The fewer guns the public has, the fewer gun-related deaths there are. Shocking, I know.
From Johns Hopkins University's study on gun violence:
"“We have more guns than people in this country, yet we are the only country that continues to experience exceptionally high rates of firearm homicide and fatal mass shootings occurring with regularity.”"
I truly pray something can be done to help victims of domestic violence and stalkers so they feel safe. It never fails that someone with an RO gets hurt (or worse) because nothing harsh is ever done to those who stalk. I'm sure Amie was terrified her last moments. I hope the proposed law will go into effect sooner rather than later. Poor woman.
The law itself still won't do much. This needs to be a societal change where people step up and defend each other and not rely on a piece of paper to protect them.
It truly is sad. My dad and I are being stalked, and the person doing has actually come extremely close to getting to is in the past, and still nothing is done. That needs to change.
Amie was one of my good friends in LA. I am thankful she got justice she was a beautiful person.
There's no posthumous justice.
@@shirley-ie5vj her murderer is in jail. As good as it gets.
@HD-nt9fu I'm sorry you lost your friend..🥀🕊
We'll see if she gets justice on December 6th, when he is sentenced... fingers crossed!
I’m sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was a formidable woman and a beautiful soul.
Let this be a lesson to you. If a relationship therapist couldn’t avoid this once it got out of hand, you don’t have a chance once you let someone assault you and you stay. Be clear the FIRST time someone shows you that they are or may be willing to assault you, LEAVE. LEAVE AND STAY GONE. Don’t try to fix it. Don’t try to talk to them. Don’t feel sorry for them. Leave them and anyone connected to them. LEAVE AND STAY GONE.
Hmmm?? They weren't together
STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM, BLAME THE MURDERER
@@belmum1689 it’s not “blaming the victim.” You can be a victim and also take precautionary measures and accountability for your own safety as best you can. Those things are not mutually exclusive. No one is ever going to care about your own safety more than you. The OP gave very solid advice! Ignore it at your own peril.
And if you're 10 or 20 years into a marriage when it happens for the first time and you have kids? Do you think they re going to let you go at any stage? My daughter aged 18 went on ONE date with a guy and realized he wasn't her type. She let him down gently and told him she wasn't ready for a relationship.....he turned on her immediately in a rage and he stalked her for a year, abusing her when he saw her in public, he hid in the bushes and watched our house, he brazenly came to the door and asked for her while she hid.......in the end she had to move to a new city to get away from him.
@@belmum1689stop crying like a child . People should learn lessons from thing like this ! If it’s to say make better choices then so be it!
This is just heartbreaking. Even years later, when he was harassing her, she tried to reason with him & understand what was driving his unhealthy obsession. A truly great person & therapist, who tried to support the disenfranchised of this world. What a terrible loss of a clever, empathetic & beautiful soul. RIP, Amie, the world is poorer without you! 💔
She was satanic. Try a little research and simple observation before you start all the worship.
She actually did all the right things, she had a roommate, she had a security system with cameras and even at one point had a restraining order. The thing she did wrong was talking to him at all, but Im not sure what could have done to not be murdered. Even if she had a gun sitting right next to her , it was a sneak attack and she really had no chance to survive.
she had weak friends. Incredibly weak friends.
A worthless roommate. Bah!
I bet she didn't think her roommate would be such a waste of space!
I think if you've got a man for a room mate, and he doesn't actually check that you're ok, yes worthless. I'm a woman, and if I heard something smash, I would've been straight over, or rung to see that she was ok. If I heard my housemate screaming, and I didnt have a forearm, I'd get whatever I did have, and get over there.
@@blunt3862 well women dont really need men right? so there's that. plus his toxic masculinity would show if he tried to help a "fragile" woman... Joking... easy for keyboard warrior to say shit but in reality if I hear something like that going down and its not my husband or kids, im getting the fuck outta there and calling the cops. he did the right thing
The expiration date on the restraining order wouldn't have made a difference.
Anyhow, I'll be keeping an eye out for his sentence.
RIP to Amie. Hope her family is doing as well as possible.
Thanks for the upload & enjoy your weekend!
Agreed. Plenty of true crime videos where active RESTRAINING ORDERS are ignored, and the victim dies, are PROOF.
A piece of paper that means nothing.
Presumably he would've been violating the restraining order when he confronted her at the event and could have been arrested then if it was still in effect.
@SirDrFish Stated it was expired at that point.
@@loveforeignaccents Hence the "if it was still in effect" part of his comment.
I have had stalkers in my life, such a sad story...but lets be honest, the paper wont hold back the f.... crazy ones😢
weird flex but okay
How you get rid of that person now? Im sure it scary af n terrible to imagine
No it does not! It's as worthless as the paper it's printed on!
She did “get the fuck out” and she still got killed. More women are killed during and after the times they are leaving. It’s horrible what DV victims have to put up with and no one seems to help them, even her own roommate dropped the ball. RIP Amie
I think I’ve heard this story before, but not in this detail. Kudos on a well told story with compassion and empathy for Amie. ♥️
I can't stand obsessive, controlling, persistent people. Why can't they leave people alone, and go and receive help? ❤🌹
Cuz they got a screw loose and oftentimes don't even realize it.
@@loveforeignaccentsthat’s exactly what it is.
Amen.
The key sentence being " leave people alone"
Thats why i will never understand abductions.
LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE
we have to find away to combat this.
Soon we might get to the point of having tracer chips inserted in our bodies.
We definitely have to re open and build new mental institutions.
Psychopaths, sociopaths or narcissists never think they need help.
They are just evil and they enjoy it.
Omg, I have a story to tell about this dude. My best friend dated this guy. They went backpacking around Europe for almost 2 months together and he was AWFUL. She was texting me constantly the entire time. He borrowed a ton of money from her and she didn’t want to ditch him until he paid her back, but she really wanted to go off on her own. We were joking around at one point about crazy ways she could get the money back, and I cringe thinking of even joking about doing things that could have set him off in retrospect. Another time they both got sick, and they were sleeping in a rental car. One of the biggest gripes she had was that he packed all this canned food, like tuna and peas and stuff, and protein bars, and he wouldn’t spend ANY money on food, and she loved to eat out and experience the food in different countries, but he would tag along while SHE ate and sit there with his arms crossed like a child, tapping his foot and sighing, trying to rush her along and basically accusing her of wasting time. So anyway, she was annoyed with the gross food he was eating and preparing in the car and leaving in baggies and just that element of the trip in general to begin with, his attitude surrounding it, and they were sick sleeping in the car, and she had a super sore throat and a terrible, thick, green post-nasal drip. Neither of them could taste or smell anything, and they didn’t have tissues, and she was spitting the nasty mucus she was coughing up in this sandwich baggie with what she THOUGHT was garbage. It was a half-eaten tuna/canned pea sandwich he had made the night before. He woke up sick, crabby, groggy the next morning, and he ate the effing sandwich, you guys. I feel sick just thinking about it. She was basically live-texting the whole trip to me, and just thinking of what could have happened if he would have seen those texts, or if she would have actually DONE any of the dumb stuff we were joking about to try to get him to pay her back. So scary.
You know what’s even weirder, that same friend actually was almost murdered by an ex by being *nearly* thrown off a balcony like 7 years before she went to Europe with this guy. She got restitution payments from the incident for years after that. Just kind of a strange coincidence.
I would prefer to lose the money he borrowed from me than spend yet another minute with this guy.
If you hear something that’s unusual you go and look, you don’t go to sleep again.
I'm stunned
This woman had everything
She met one bad seed
She got away from him
She got restraining orders.
If only she had stayed with a friend...
If only she had a halfway decent flatmate
If only she had never met him
If only people like that did not exist...
Its so hard to identify these miscreants early.
But we have to find a way.
...If only she'd not accepted his proposal and date him. That's why you should never ever date someone before vetting them because once you make a mistake & date a thug/ psychopath then you're DOOMED.
What a waste of a smart pretty woman.
And he sits there like he's completely " normal ".
I say PUT HIM DOWN.
if only
@venvibe9202 you clearly don't understand that these types of people are master manipulators and you don't realize until you're in too deep. Sounds like you're victim blaming.
Why wait to sentence him? I hope Garrett receives life in prison with no chance of parole
That’s how the judicial system works my friend
👏👏👏👏👏❤
Such a sad story...he was unrecognizable in court!!!
Looks like a complete different person!
It’s infuriating how she not only got zero help in life, but there are also people here in the comments still Monday morning quarterbacking her life. I’d love to see any of you brilliant folks show us all how it’s done. Why would she call 911 when he confronted her at the event? The courts didn’t believe her before or do a damn thing to help last time when he physically assaulted her- why would they help when he’s “just” yelling and cursing at her at what’s essentially a work event? Even getting a gun (which I personally would have done, but that’s because I have confidence in my abilities with one) if she wasn’t comfortable with it would have just put the weapon into his hands if she couldn’t bring herself to use it and keep him away fast enough. There was no “right” answer here. In fact, you can do everything right and still wind up just how she did. Anyone thinking they would have done things better or smarter obviously hasn’t lived it.
She had never pressed charges on any of the other moments of abuse. Hard for the courts to believe you when you do not press charges.
right, none of this was her fault at all it’s completely the fault of her stalker. people will always find a way to blame the victim when she would’ve been fine if this man never stalked her.
I believe there’s more she could have done, especially with the knowledge of a relationship expert, HOWEVER after eight years of this I imagine there was situational fatigue and it’s 100% NOT her fault this happened. When you break these things down, very rarely are they ever black and white situations and but that also doesn’t mean it’s victim blaming to call out some of those things.
She dated idiots. Like the killer. Like Marilyn Manson. Amie thought she was edgy. She wasn’t intelligent at all. Her life was tacky. She invited trouble. Then knowing she had a stalker she never upped the security in her home. She was a disaster waiting to happen.
@@zoewww its not blaming the victim. just stating facts that she could've done more and put put the blame on the law. she should've called the cops at the event, but I presume that would've been embarrassing sooo she didnt. she could've reported it after the event and yet she didnt... if youre truly threatened DO SOMETHING!
If I didn't know better, Id have thought for sure the roommate killed her based on like literally everything from his injuries, to access, to his odd behavior calling the cops and overacting going to neighbors houses etc... would've looked VERY weird to me as an investigator.
For real why did he not go help? Useless man
The first responding officers thought that he was suspicious because he didn't have keys but said he lived there. He also cut himself when he jumped the gate. But he was quickly ruled out after all her friends pointed the finger at Gareth. His DNA being under her fingernails and in the house nailed the coffin shut, of course.
@Rileyed He did scream her name outside the window. That's what he was doing before, during, and after the 911 call. He states on the 911 call that he's yelling her name from outside her window and she wasn't responding. That's how he knew something was wrong and she needed help. Aside from her screaming of course.
Don’t try to be an investigator 😂
I thought the same thing ! He was so sketchy !!!
You know what’s like totally sad? When someone is so messed up, their behaviour for months and months shows that they’re so fucked in the head…, They gonna go and do something really totally fully dramatic and then afterwards everyone’s like, “we didn’t see it coming“.
That roommate is the definition of a coward!!
Imagine that being you. You panic bc you don’t know what’s up there so you run out the door. Not everyone is built that way. Calling him a coward is screwed up. Odds are he would’ve got killed too.
@@seans7261he’s a coward “couldn’t find his phone” pffttt no one said he had to confront the guy but he didn’t even try to help her by finding his f-in phone
Right? As a law abiding man, why don't you have a firearm?
No he isn’t. He wasn’t hired as a bodyguard and he knew he could be the second victim. It was all hell breaking loose too. Why not ask why she dated weirdos in the first place ? Why didn’t she get a home alarm system ? Or a gun ? A guard dog? Yeah blame the roommate. 🤡
@@angelwings7930 he “couldn’t find his cell phone” no courage to even do that? Does he even have testosterone?!
I've watched so many videos on the untimely death of Amie, and I have to say that I learned so much about her with this video. Thank you for highlighting the victim.
RIP, Amie 🙏A true angel.
Imagine hearing your female roommate being attacked upstairs and just standing there yelling "leave her alone!"
@user-bj1md3zb3uyeah, that is a man writing that. Most of us women know that vulnerable moment and it is very terrifying.
I heard my female neighbour screaming one night , I knew her husband was away on business, I ran around , knocked on the door and was about to kick it when when she opened it. Turned out she had seen a mouse run over the kitchen floor and let out a few high level screams as she hated mice. Well I didn’t save her from anything but I would have done if anybody had been in her house. I’d like to think I could have saved this poor woman
@user-bj1md3zb3u He didn't know who was attacking her! He says he couldn't find his phone, but I believe he was shitting his pants. I grew up with abuse and when I hear something suspicious I become very angry. Disturbing what's happening by first banging at the door can already change the situation. Because in situations like this police always arrives too late. Especially in my country where you call the emergencyno., you get a computer that you have to tell where you live and then it connects you to the police in your city or village. Ridiculous.
@user-bj1md3zb3u Yeah and thats why I carry a firearm EVERYWHERE I go.
yeah, he probably said it like he didn't even care, like as if saying it sarcastically and almost smiling or amused that she's dying.
Man, her roommate really had a chance, three times to save her life. When the glass broke he could have stopped it, when she was upstairs screaming he could have stopped him, and when she was on the ground he could have maybe done something more, and to find his damn cell phone instead of wasting what... 15-20 minutes trying to get neighbors attention? I know it's probably hard on him, but come on man...
I highly doubt in 2020 that’s this man had NO cell phone to call 9-11. Waking up neighbors and running through the street made no sense.
He's not the type of friend I am or would I want around me..
A typical Southern California BETA MALE
He definitely should have investigated the noise or called her to see if she was home. He probably wasn't thinking that her ex would break in. He testified that he thought she saw a mouse when he woke up and heard her screaming. His first thought wasn't that the guy she'd had a restraining order against would attack her.
@@candylove49i didnt understand that either. Where the hell was his cell phone? If it was dead, all he had to do was plug it in and wait a minute or less....
It SERIOUSLY pisses me off when police do absolutely nothing when a stalker whose shown violent and creepy tendencies just continues to stalk and harass her and they didnt take it seriously. Same thing when parents and friends tell authorities that their kid is missing and its not like them to not get in contact with them and the police say "he or she probably just ran away for whatever reason" and then refuses to file a missing persons report and tells the family they need to wait 48hrs b4 doing so. Basically telling everyone that the police wont come to the rescue, and they dont put themselves in the victims family's shoes and how they would feel if their kids disappeared and noone is willing to do anything to help until its too late. Basically telling us if someone really wants to get to you and harm you, they can and would have more than enough time to break in and harm/kill the victim b4 authorities ever show up....but they try telling us not to take the law into our own hands and be a "vigilante" but when it comes to my life i much rather feel protected armed in my house so if a robber/attacker breaks in i can handle it myself without having to be a sitting duck just wainting to get plucked off. Its a sad world we live in when it comes to crazy people who can function in society like a normal person, can even be intelligent and outwardly personable but hide the side that shows how mental they truly are, one of the biggest issues in our country!
It's kinda depressing to have this only in black and white
"Leave her alone" followed by running away. What a man.
He is a small dude, probably does not work out, he knows he’s not strong enough why would he risk his life for her? The least he could do was hit the door and run
He has a gun. Are you implying he should take a bullet?
@@verginone If he has even an ounce of a conscience he would rather go back and die fighting that day than live the rest of his life remembering his fear allowing that woman to be killed.
@@Jaystubguess you have been in that situation where you risked your life for someone
@@verginone I've risked my life to fight just for people's entertainment. There's no justification for not taking action in that scenario. You're supposed to be a man, and you hear your female roommate being attacked upstairs by another man. You run upstairs. End of story.
Great roommate. Hears an attack and straight up bounces. I couldn't live with myself if I did something that cowardly. That's not a man at all.
Ya I mean, I’m confused.. she’s a world renowned relationship counselor but couldn’t see all the red flags.. sad.
she saw the signs......thats why she got the fk away from him. Watch the video
She originally had fear of abandonment and liked all of the attention; then soon realized he was over the top. Once the abuse started, she tried to get that restraining order, and we know that didn't work out till she was able to secure the second one.
@@bobbyswain7049 really booby swain?
@@bobbyswain7049 Bobby, I was gonna delete my observation in honor of your comment being highlighted, but then I saw all the likes or whatever so imma leave it. I meant no disrespect, just the irony is a trip, also with these true crime lil channels, ur hearing it thru at least 1 more persons interpretation. Sorry I called you booby.
It’s crazy, to me, that a judge can deny a woman a restraining order. Ever. 🤯
well believe it or not some people abuse restraining orders and make false statements to put a negative police record and public court record on someone. It is the same exact thing as framing someone, which is also what these people i know do as well.
they also did is to create a precedent for making more false domestic abuse cases to both sue and convict and ruin the lives of the people they hate because they're evil.
The court system emboldened this wacko to kill her with very little repercussions.
Yes because most women lie especially when they don’t have evidence
@@user-ki6ce8iy5oyall always bitch and moan abt “false accusations” when they make up barely 1% of these. The justice system supports men and silences women yall just wanna keep being the victims
The way you present every case is perfectly done.
The narration, pictures...perfect.
And it's beautiful and very thoughtful of you the way you adress the family's... grief at the beginning. One of the very few best true crime channels out there! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My career used to be Legal Advocate for a Domestic Violence Intervention Center. I wrote a lot of restraining orders. They were just pieces of paper and not bullet proof, but they did give Law Enforcement legal authority to step in and arrest or remove an abuser from the victim's vicinity. Please call your closest DV Center and talk to someone there. Please seek help. Before it is too late.
Amie was a friend and therapist to those who were seen on the edge of society and not taken seriously with their problems. She was accomplished and successful. She had so many real friends. Not fake but, real friends who cared about her.
Amie also found her true love. A man opposite of Gareth as being a kind and caring man. And had that ripped from her by the crazy Gareth, leaving the chance for them to talk and work things out so they could be together as both wanted to be. Instead he is left to mourn her passing 'like a widower'
Gareth took a woman who was so loved by her many friends. And from people who really needed someone like her to help them. Gareth left a big empty dark hole in so many lives.
Drew moved on in the blink of an eye
@@chachi_arcola Oh - were you there?
@@chachi_arcolaA lot of people have a "rebound" relationship when they're processing hurt. That's why they often don't work out. But I can't understand equating escapism w/ not caring about someone, personally... It's not a distinction anyone can make from the outside; all we can do is speculate.
A lot of friends who cared about her? I saw a lot of cowards in her life.
She did everything to get out of the abusive relationship, but, alas, it's virtually impossible in this world where crazies roam the streets.
He looks crazy. I can tell when someone is mentally unstable and capable of extreme evil. Which is why I left the social work field after 15 years. I saw too many situations that could have been prevented if those who had the power to make a difference would listen. This case is so sad for so many reasons. She couldn’t even be happy in her new relationship. This poor woman.
No you can't. No one can truly know the inner workings of another mind.
@@cheezykrafts8134 I agree that some people are good at hiding their inner insanity. But this guy wasn’t. I could tell he was violently insane from the minute I saw his face.
What a great house mate to help her by running away. I want a room mate like that.
I've been married for 28 years and my ex still talks bad about me every chance he gets 🙄. RiP Amy
When I was 12 the widowed neighbor lady died and her two kids moved about 25 miles away. The oldest kid was billy joe. He turned into a stalker! When i was 16 he came into my house and was sitting on my bed waiting for me when my mom entered the room he obviously startled her to death!! I was not home at this time but she recognized him as being the neighbor boy from years previous. and he apologized... He was a very meek, soft spoken, small for his age... And back then we didn't keep our doors locked so he just walked in.
I had been talking to him on the phone in the weeks leading up to this. In the hindsight he had been calling me obsessively. so he walked 25 miles possibly hitchhiked some of that just to walk into my home and wait for me. There was never a plan for that to happen I had no idea. Long story longer my mom drove him home and he still called me obsessively for months after that and as far as I know he never came back to the house
Restraining orders should be for life, no expiration date. This system is broken 💔
I'm sorry but if my friend is screaming for help.... I'm not running outta the house to get help ... I'm running in the room to attack. Shame on him for running away and not helping her.
I remember when I first heard the news about this, I was stunned by the fact that restraining orders had expiration dates. I was also stunned by how many near misses, she had before he finally got her. Sad for her, her family and friends, and especially Drew seems like an okay guy. I do however share frustration about all of the failures of both the system and those around her. Who knew she was in trouble and did not do more to forcibly intervene. Particularly the men around her. He should have been promptly detained while at this event, a background check run, and arrested immediately.
This creature instead still breathes... Lord...
The cops wouldn't have done anything....even if they talked to him the night of the press conference. They'd have given him a warning and let him go.
@@juanitarichards1074exactly. Restraining orders aren’t even worth the paper they’re written on. There’s hardly anything police will do to protect a person before they have physical evidence.
@@juanitarichards1074he may have still scared him to be in the police radar, to kill her may have seemed more risky. A warning is better than nothing.
Yeah they do. You can get a life order but it’s rare. I don’t think it would of mattered in this case
Warnings never work with these pricks and they aren't scared of the police or the courts. He achieved his mission and that will make him happy for the rest of his life, even if it's in prison.@@donnasulja6038
Knocking politely at neighbors doors so he doesn't have to risk himself? Screw that guy!
Typical liberal coward man.
He's a damn coward yikes
Knocking softly, and patiently waiting between each knock. How bout you beat the fucking door down and yell? If you're going to be completely useless, at least get someone's attention, or a lot of people's attention. This pathetic human being is weak in every way imaginable. Don't want to wake too many people while my dear friend is being brutally murdered.
Why the hell didn’t her roommate run upstairs to help her !?! He could have saved her life !
If I was him I would be ashamed to show my face
He's a damn coward that why
@@wioi Yes, he is a coward ! He hopped the fence, and ran for the hills while his friend was being strangled by this poor excuse of a man. This Garrett almost certainly would have been spooked by another man intervening, and would have bolted. Cowards who hit women, never have the courage to stand up to another man, and that’s especially true for this loser ex boyfriend. He would have hopped out the second story window to avoid getting caught, and Amy would be alive today if her roommate wasn’t a coward !
In life and death situations we can’t judge another person’s reaction. I know when I’ve been scared I’m frozen with fear
Don’t blame him for her stupid choices.
I am broken, this one hurts badly. She was beautiful inside and out...I'm an ex stalked wife this resonates with me loudly and clearly. May Amie Rest In Peace and may he rot for all eternity and more.

@@KERockz70908 Very much so and thank you, my 'daughter' is now a grown adult over thirty and if he ever crosses my doorstep, I'll have no problem going to jail need be.....I'm done, no longer a victim; I refuse to be his victim. Thanks so much for caring, nice of you. 'Be Safe'...the world's messed up.
I really hope that legislation gets passed that her friends proposed. That would be a huge step in the right direction in trying to make it harder for people to get away with stalking others. What a tragic case. Thank you for covering it so well.❤ May Amie rest in peace
restraining orders will do nothing to stop a crazy killer stalking you and ordering you.
@@user-ko5ng3lm1z you’re right. Restraining orders are basically useless. They never stop perpetrators outright- *but* if they are actually held to account when they violate their restraining order, and if the laws regarding what will happen to them if they violate said order are made far harsher, (hence this law being passed) then it will definitely help a lot of people.
This man did nothing to change, just let his anger fester. Tommy Vext was brilliant. Thank you.
Poor woman failed by everyone. A body guard would have been better, even if they're expensive. Cameras and locks and roommates are no guarantee of safety. Emotionally needy people are dangerous, being nice to them and accepting to talk with them after breaking a relationship with them is the worst way to handle the situation.
Why didn’t her roommate run into her room after hearing the screams? He didn’t even try to help her, he ran out of the house to a neighbors.
Look at his zesty ass 😂 what was he going to do?
Right! I was disgusted. She screamed for help and he just left the house.
@@juarezderrick9647LoL!
He wasn't a toxically masculine macho type, so he assumed a strong woman doesn't need no man and can handle the attacker.
I feel like I’m addicted to these videos lol
Me too!
I had a stalker that harassed me for over a year. He was a nightmare because he called my work and texted from various phones, but luckily I never felt he was dangerous. As bad as he was without threats I can't imagine how much worse it would have been had he like this guy. It's bad enough that she gave up someone she truly loved, so that he wouldn't bother her, only for her to lose her life. So sad.
You were wrong not to think he was dangerous. All obsessed stalkers are very dangerous.
People with abandonment issues may be a little more vulnerable to abusers, but this is often used as victim-blaming. And it makes secure people think they are safe, which they aren't. There's an abusive "lid" for every "pot". I have encountered apparently secure people ridiculing victims for not leaving a physically violent relationship while they were emotionally abused/coerced and weren't even aware.
It is still the predators' full responsibility and decision to abuse. Every.Single.Time.
Also , WTF are they FEEDING these prisoners?? Dude gained 50 lbs from a few months in jail leading up to the trial.. dudes MORBID
😂 so true! He doesn't deserve a good life. What a loser.
Can we all agree that the roommate is a complete coward?
Jeez, yes. Hears screaming, things crashing and leaves the house?
Someone had to say it. Unbelievable behaviour
Absolute coward
I've been for this post. Thank you!
Yeah, he grinds my gears 🤬
What a great friend, just let your friend fight for her life while you run away
Damn she had an amazing life. Smart,beautiful loved, admired so sad:(
this roommate, he actually went back to sleep after the first alert? and then he leaves her and jumps over fences in search of help instead of checking on her? ridiculous...
No but the guy probably knows he can't defend himself and will be at risk too
He’s a roommate not a fucking trained assassin
It’s called self preservation and I don’t fault him for that
He's a coward.
@@kittyod3177so if your roommate peeled out on you getting pummeled and potentially murdered you’d be ok with that? Nice to know. Some people in this world have no guts. Think of all the household items he could’ve took up those stairs and wielded as a weapon. He’s a dough boy through and through. They are a dime a dozen, especially in LA.
Self-preservation my a$$
It’s called being a coward.
Take care everyone ❤️
You too🙏🏻🕊
Dont tell me what to do
Bought tates bra wahhhhh
The lack of empathy is repulsive in these comments. Y’all don’t know the roommate or what trauma he’s been through in his life before this tragic nightmare. He has to live the rest of his life with this. Be careful being so judgmental because you might get tested the same way in your own life. Imagine reading comments like some of these about yourself.
Bravo!
People don’t think the way you think… every one is different.
The police would have likely found two bodies if the roommate hadn't gone for help - he would most likely been killed too. Very sad and terrifying situation for Amie. Condolences to Amie's family and friends.
To any guy or girl, if someone in your relationship breaks-up and are no longer interested in you, please MOVE ON! It seriously isn’t worth having any kind of feelings anymore - Passionate or Bitter
Wow - her roommate really let her down. What a cowardly person.
The guy wondering why the cops are taking so long to arrive - you live in the Hollywood Hills with narrow winding roads! As charming as these houses are, and the lovely views they provide, you would never catch me living in one for this very reason. It takes FOREVER for police or medical to get to your location!
Beyond Evil is the best crime RUclips channel by far! I am so thankful for all the hard work you put into your videos and your amazing narrative voice ! Thank you for always entertaining me and satisfying my true crime need! ☠️👍

Absolutely heartbreaking. He stole a beacon of light for so many people, friends, family, who needed lead from the dark and lows by this beautiful being. So tragic that such a unique, genuinely open, inspiring, and kind, caring person, with so much talent has gone from out world. Thankyou Amie for all you did for women ❤
10:54 "looked like one of a million other ken doll clones that flock around hollywood hoping to make it big" 😂
Love the aesthetic this was shot/edited with!
Agreed! 👍
Her roommate was worthless. Who doesn't get up to investigate glass breaking? He hears her screaming and struggling and just runs away. Maybe I was just raised differently, but you have to at least try to intervene.
Why didn't he go help her when she's screaming? Wow
Once again wonderfully done ✌️ Her story is heartbreaking 💔 Another beautiful soul taken by a coward with an ego 😡 She gave to the world and he just takes. I look forward to his sentencing,I do hope you do an update 🙏
Just started listening to this case but I just can't fathom that her roommate just ran out n left her in there by herself getting attacked! Just wow. Smh
The way the friend reacted to her screams and the fact that all this was going on and her friends did nothing just further illustrates how shallow and selfish people and Hollywood are.
Hollywood is a battleground, there are no "friends". She needed to get some tough bodyguards to be with her 24/7. So many celebs do this, I wonder why she chose not to
Speaking from experience, just because someone has a restraining order doesn’t mean the other party will honor it. ☹️
💯 ladies especially, a restraining order means nothing. Get a firearm!
Its just a piece of paper. If someone wants to hurt you they will
When will people understand that a piece of paper doesn't do a damn thing to protect anyone!
it should come with a weapon and training too!
What a beautiful woman. Caring and giving and at the end gave her all to the one who didn’t deserve it. So so sorry this happened to you. May you rock on from the other side!!
I can't believe her roommate just left her. As a man that's just unacceptable. Maddening.
Having a gun in the apartment would have given this sad situation a different ending.
Are you crazy ? Blame HIM ? He was nearly the second victim. Amie and her weird life endangered the roommate.
@@angelwings7930There's no excuse. I've heard of women going 2x1 with a male attacker with unfavorable outcomes, but at least they didn't die of shame. Going 2x1 with one of the 2 being a man puts odds heavily on the 2. There was no gun. There was a woman crying for help probably before the glass even broke. That shameful waste of space ignored it. Then he tried to blame the cops. Had he taken his chances she might not have died, and even had he been injured or killed, it would have been better than having to live the rest of his life as a known coward. I would say they should charge or fine him but maybe being known for this is punishment enough. Hopefully he will learn something and become better.
@@kdc3065 oh I know you want to blame her messy life and lack of planning (no home security system, no gun, no dog), on the roommate. You want to blame him REAL BAD. 😂
oh no dont use that excuse nowadays. feminizis think men and women are the same and so do the wokies who support men in women's sports,... sooo watch what you say!
Her roommate was a coward.
I saw the story about this on TV, and they interviewed Drew Carey for it. He truly loved this woman, and considered her the love of his life, even after they broke up, to see the pain in his face when he talked about her murder was so heartbreaking. I hope that he is able to find some peace over this some day.
He's a weak sack of crap too, for just agreeing to breakup over such a stupid reason, and not fighting harder for the love of his life. Everyone in this story was a complete coward.
So many cases I watch where everyone including the one being stalked, their family, their closest friends drastically and unfortunately down playing a stalking situation. Not taking extra safety precautions, not having extra communication and escape plans for multiple scenarios. Never being alone walking home alone, etc.
Sounds like her security system was totally inadequate given the threat she faced. A good one would have alerted the authorities of a potential break-in when the glass to the door was broken by Gareth, with the police being sent by the alarm company.
i remember hearing about her dating drew carry. i had no idea she was murdered. that's so sad...
