I absolutely believe that the murderer’s family should not have rights to raise the victim’s children. Her family should have them.

I will never forget Rachel’s story. Rachel and her family lived just 20 mins from me..I hope Joe o’reilly never gets released.

The fact he knew what was in that house, and he allowed her mother and her family to go and discover that, is truly one of the most shocking things I've ever heard. That poor family, not only losing their daughter/sister in that manner, but the last image they have of her, is her in that way. Lost for words.

These evil murderers who send a loving family member to “find” the brutalized bodies, they had left. Another level of evil!

The fact that he deliberately engineered it so that her mother would find her body. Evil.

There are many heart wrenching facts of this case but something about him courting her when she didn’t even like him only to later in life claim he is repulsed by her & to violently take her life. THEN make sure her mother found her body? He is a demon. He never ever deserved a minute of Rachel’s time.

With a husband like that, who needs enemies? Totally cruel and heartless 💔

To find your own child dead, brutally murdered, must be the worst kind of torture for a mother. 😔 Bless her heart!

It is unbelievable how the aged parents handled the tragic loss of their two daughters with such strength and dignity👍

All I can think is what a piece of work this man and his family are! Sharing emails with his sister calling Rachel derogatory names, his mother filing a false abuse claim…they must have known the crime was sketchy but kept mum. What evil people.

Hello from Dublin. You really did Rachel's family a great honor in telling her and her familys story in such a respectful way. To lose their beloveddaughter in such a way, and to lose their other daughter to cancer, my heart breaks for them. As for him, l won't waste my time. A really well made production. Thank you. ☘️

First clue he was guilty….he said there were two towels missing. I don’t know of one man that knows exactly how many towels are in the house. Let alone notice two were missing. And who takes a dumbbell and leaves money??

who TF walks in on their spouse bludgeoned to death and goes, "what did you do?!" TF!???

I so admire her parents for adopting all those children.❤️

The fact that he sent her precious, unsuspecting mother over to that horrific murder scene all the while knowing full well what she would find is nothing more than putrid evil. That dear woman will have to see that unthinkable image in her mind for the rest of her life. 💔

His reenactment to her parents was particularly cruel and disgusting.

Rachel's headstone bears her maiden name Callely ...as it should...rest in peace Rachel 💚🙏🇮🇪

So he stalked her to get her to date him. Red Flag number 1

What a psychopathic bastard. It's the only term I can use for someone who not only murdered the mother of his kids but also to plan for her body to be found by her own mother - extremely vile. RIP Rachel Callely.

As soon as you point out their heights, I already knew the husband did it. Rachel stood at 5'11 the only way she could've been beaten by that is by surprise attack of someone she knew and is also much taller than her, and this monster stood at 6'5. It still baffles me how you could marry someone, hate them so much to the point that you need to k*ll them in this manner. What a sick bastard

So sad Rachel's parents lost both daughters so terribly young. How much tragedy can one family take?❤

If someone doesn't take "No" for an answer when asking you out, that's a red flag that they don't think you have any agency or right to makes choices for YOUR life. A relationship is a major life change that YOU should have say in, and you have the right to decline someone's attentions if they're unwanted. You should never, _ever_ date a person who doesn't respect that. Instead, you should avoid them by all means.

OK the husbands first question “Rachel what have you done to yourself” = GUILTY. The second giveaway “I touched her body and moved a box into the children’s room. I hope I didn’t destroy any evidence” = GUILTY. I need not HEAR anymore, who did it, he did it. Her first instinct to keep turning him down for a date was right on the mark. Unfortunately she gave in

The full length Late Late Show interview is well worth watching, as you can see it in Rose's body language that she knows exactly who did it & that he's sitting right next to her. The amount of strength it must have taken to endure that without knocking him out is amazing.

It's so sad that they lost their other daughter too.

The saying "you marry the whole family" is true in a way. That's why you have to be very careful of who you even so much as date. Seems like his family tree grew on a landfill. He's clearly a sadistic psychopath, reveling in what he did by gloating to multiple people, literally walking them through his crime scene with commentary, even bragging on television. He's a _thing_ that shouldn't be.

This channel is the best crime channel on KZfaq hands down ! You keep me coming back time and time again . Never disappoints 🙌🏽

I worked with Nikki Pelley many years ago. She was having an affair with our regional manager. It was common knowledge that they were together. He had a wife and a few children. She must like the married men. I remember this case so well, what an absolute animal of a man, disgusting.

Such a compassionate and thorough job you've done in presenting this horrific case. I've gotta say, Rachel's mom is one tough cookie. She carried herself with quiet strength, dignity, and a sense of grace not often seen anymore. Again, great episode; thank you!

THE WAY YOU NARRATE THE STORIES IS AWESOME. YOU HAVE SUCH A SOOTHING VOICE. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The part about not bringing someone you don't know into the bedroom because you're cornered is so bizarre and super suspicious! Who thinks like that?! People typically don't bring strangers into their bedrooms because it's a very personal space.

He pursued her so heavily. After she said no he just started putting himself around her so she couldn't help but being familiar with him. He did all that just to kill her.

Can I just say I love your voice. The way you tell us these cases is really lovely. You are not dramatic and annoying as others can be and you tell their stories with much dignity. Thank you ❤

The average time spent in jail for someone sentenced to life in Ireland is 17years. He should be in jail for the rest of his life

Him feeling comfortable enough to send his sister an email disparaging his wife - tells me a lot about his whole family. Disgusting.

What a vile & horrible man. Slaughtering Rachel was not enough. My goodness, he even wanted to give "tours" of where he brutally killed her & made sure her mother found her body. Just monstrous. I feel so terrible for Rachel's family.

Feel so bad for her parents for having to bury both of their loving daughters, as well as her two young sons who ultimately lost both parents because of their father's evil deeds.

Alice & Mia, can't thank you both enough for your empathy & compassion you show the victims & their families yet your attention to detail sets your channel apart from any other. No gimmicks, bells or whistles just the facts in your calm beautiful voices, my favourite channel bar none. RIP sweet beautiful Rachel Callely 💚

He used the crime scene like a show, allowing people to come and see where his wife was murdered. What a sick twisted man.

What a horrific story. I wonder why his sister hated Rachel so much. Was he poisoning his family against her? I feel so bad for the children. Not only had he killed her but I would bet that his family is poisoning them against their mother

My husband, a covert narcissist, had an affair as well. I feel lucky to still be alive....so far. My soon to be ex-husband is living with his affair partner. I can tell he wants me dead but, because he is law enforcement, he knows it's hard to pull that off.

I love this woman's voice.great storytelling

Sometimes someone pursues another for a relationship to fulfill their own narcissistic tendencies. Almost like the ones who bet with their friends they can get someone. Rachel was out of his league. What a monster to act like she was repulsive.

Thank you, Rose, for never giving up on getting justice for your daughter 🙏🏾😔 RIP 🪦 Rachel O’Reilly 🕊

The fact that he chased her so relentlessly at the beginning of their relationship despite her refusals. Just wow.

What always boggles my mind is that after trying so hard to hide the fact that they murdered someone after it’s over they act SO off and odd and make it so obvious they were involved!!!

Arguably the best true crime channel on KZfaq.

I will never understand how can a parent do this to his children leaving them without a mother and the trauma they have to live with for the rest of their lives. You hate her, that’s fine. Just leave…why kill? RIP Rachel🙏

I was on the edge of tears thru most of this but to hear how her family then lost her sister too… that was the breaking point. My god their mum is one strong willed woman. She’s been dragged thru hell and back and she refused to stop fighting for justice. I hope Rachel’s boys are with her family and well loved. ❤

Why the heck that mistress could be with him knowing what he did , didn’t she think he would do the same thing to her when he got tired of her , both are deplorable

Rachel was so beautiful and deserved better. Her poor parents. You can tell she was loved dearly by her family!Condolences to her parents.

What a terrible betrayal! It’s horrifying to imagine that your husband, your family, could be so cruel.

The hate this man must have felt for his wife is horrific, what an evil man. My heart breaks for her parents & sons. I wonder who is raising her sons.

Why do some men resort to killing/murdering her spouse? Why divorcing is so hard? Why some men can't just be happy with one women? Having a family is a blessing and some men just throw it away. Marriage means 'till death do us apart'...not killing or murdering her.

So sad… Rachel seemed like such a lovely women and my heart breaks for her children, her siblings and her parents.

The nation loves Rachel and her amazing mother and father who never stopped until this coward joe o'reilly was done, he sat with Rachels mum on national tv asking for people to come forward but Rachels mum knew he was the killer her body language spoke a million words! rip Rachel 🙏🍀💚💯 thank you very much for showing this case you done her great justice 💯❤️🍀🙏💚

40+ minutes!! What a treat. I knew he did it when you were describing all those calls he made the morning she was killed. Killers like to "cover" their tracks well, usually too well. Great video!

I love this narrator's voice and this was an excellent episode. Definitely one of my favourite crime channels. Thankyou for your awesome content.

Naaaaah. He sent her own mother to find her beaten body. That alone should get him an additional 10 years for pure spite and cruelty.

Cant believe it...the rat went out of his way to be with Rachel! stalking her at softball after her refusing him so many times but then just kills her when he's had enough of Rachel, what a strange evil bloke.

In the recommended videos attached to this one- there are some thumbnails featuring blurred out crime scenes with a big red circle and arrow pointing to the victim’s body, as well as thumbnails that focus on telling the story of the killer. This to say how much I appreciate this channels approach to covering these tragic cases. Always respectful, victim focused, and focused on how much the loss impacted the friends, family, and community. Appreciate you, Truly Criminal, for being one of the few channels that covers these cases responsibly. ❤

His eyes literally light up talking about how he believes she was killed on the television show. He loves reliving it.

I remember this case happening. The Late Late interview was chilling to watch and I remember my Dad saying, “he did it, without a doubt”. Rachel’s family never gave up. That horrible man still challenges the legality of his conviction (not the guilt part). Himself and Graham O’ Dwyer (another horrible Irish case) need to rot in jail

Deepest sympathies for the victim and her loved ones. Nobody should have to experience the kind of fear and pain, especially in their own home. What a betrayal, what a terrible tragedy. Hoping the family has been able to continue on living well and remembering the happy memories with this caring and nurturing lady. Truly Criminal, thank you always for your consistently respectful and well crafted crime docs. I abhor sensationalized true crime and I know I never have to worry about feeling put off when I watch your vids. Much love and respect ❤

So sad. She looked like an amazing and loving mother.

I always do the happy dance when I get a Truly Criminal notification! I know it's gonna be sad but this channel makes me feel like I know all the facts and I meant something always! Thank you Truly Criminal!

This account of the Rachel O'Reilly murder case is truly gut-wrenching and sheds light on the complexities of human emotions, deception, and the pursuit of justice. The first part sets the scene with a glimpse into the seemingly ordinary life of Rachel and Joe O'Reilly, which takes a dark turn with Rachel's tragic murder. The second part delves deep into the intense trial that followed, revealing a web of lies, betrayal, and manipulation that unraveled before the eyes of the court. The way the evidence was meticulously presented during the trial, from emails and text messages to phone triangulation, showcased the increasing role of technology in modern legal proceedings. It's incredible to see how digital footprints were used to piece together a motive and paint a vivid picture of what transpired. The emotional turmoil faced by Rachel's family, especially her mother Rose, is heartrending. Their unwavering determination to seek justice and remember Rachel's life is both inspiring and moving. The culmination of the trial, with Joe O'Reilly's guilty verdict and subsequent life sentence, offers a sense of closure, yet the aftermath continues to haunt. This case serves as a reminder of the fragility of human life, the power of evidence, and the lengths that loved ones will go to in order to ensure justice prevails. Let us never forget Rachel's story and the strength of those who stood up for her. 💔🕯️🙏

Rachels mother is a DIAMOND .... So glad she got justice for her beautiful daughter .... Hope that scum rots in jail for a very long and miserable time

What a heartbreaking story. So sad for the parents.

I feel so bad for Rachel’s father in that moment. “You might not want to go in. It’s a horrific scene.” The feeling of all the options of what could’ve happened to her. Heartbreaking. Rest in peace.

Best True Crime presentation every Saturday! I'm proud of how well y'all are doing. I ❤ the fact y'all don't just do well known cases. You make sure to give others a voice & shine the light on them as well. We all ❤ this channel for that!!

You are one of my favourite true crimes reporter, but now you are covering Ireland, love it, thanks

I knew he did it the moment I saw him on The Late Late show. He said she was nobody special, and myself and my flatmate looked at each other. She wasn't special????

All i can think is poor Rose, not only has she lost her daughter violently, she knew he did it, as he retraumatized her reliving the murder, unable to even talk to her husband.. just watching her face on the television show as she listened to him speak.. she must have been so numb.. may her daughter rest peacefully&her family fond SOME SORT of healing😢

What a beautiful bride..rest in peace Rachel....

I have watched most criminal shows but yours by far is the best. You tell a story like no other and even though I may have heard of the cases in the past, you seem to always shed some new light on it that I wasn't aware of. In Canada, I wait every Saturday for 2 pm for your shows to appear. Thanks so much.

This is one of my favorite crime channels. I look forward to watching your well presented episodes, and particularly would like to commend the narrator. Her voice is so soothing and respectful.

Thank you all for your thorough and sensitive coverage of this devastating case. We don’t really hear enough about Ireland in the UK (in my opinion). Love you guys, love having you on Patreon ❤

You do such a beautiful job narrating these tragic events. God Bless to you. This poor woman & her children

Just the fact that he mentioned to the police at the scene that he had touched her makes me suspicious

Thank goodness justice at last! My heart goes out to Rachel's entire family!!

Joe showed up at the crime scene with their boys after first making sure Rachel's mom would find the body 😭 So evil. He clearly doesn't even care about his kids

This is in my top 5 most favorite true crime channels. I love the music sounds in the beginning of each case and you have a perfect voice explaining the videos. Thank you for doing such a great job!! Shawn from Wenatchee Washington State USA 🇺🇸

thank you TC!! from your biggest Canadian fan

TC is absolutely brilliant!!! It really is a job well done. Love the narration especially. Going to listen to the podcasts too. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is extremely sad from every single angle. Own husband killing you, own mother deliberately sent to find you in that shocking state, two young children losing their mum at the hands of their own father, what thoughts are they suppose to have of him when they reach the age of understanding??? and the list goes on and on. I wish the family God's peace.

I cannot believe this channel does not have more subscribers. It's excellent. I've been a subscriber since the beginning. Never disappointed. Well done ladies of Truly Criminal.

Your content is always top notch. ❤😂

Absolutely horrific unimaginable pain for her parents and remaining siblings having lost two precious daughters/sisters 😢. I got chills when the vile “it” said close the lid coldly on Rachel’s coffin. I have experienced my sister in law treat my brother and my family the same way when he died suddenly, not one tear, just get rid of him, get his life insurance - it nearly killed me as a sister with grief, my mum and I have only just hung in there. My prayers for Rose and her family to triumph over such evil 🙏🕯️ God be with you always

2 weeks in a row there hasn't been a Saturday @ 2pm video😢 I hope you guys are okay! We miss you and look so forward to your next upload ❤️ Your videos are my Saturday excitement😬

I would love to see you cover the Graham Dwyer/ Elaine O’Hara case. Another Irish one.

Its so fucked up that she rejected him for years when he'd ask her out. She finally relented but HE makes it sound like she was overbearing and "repulsive"??? While also cheating on her.... Christ.

His family retained custody of those innocent children, I’m sure they will have been feed a skewed story. For their entire lives the children will be taught one version of their mother and her family, that is the saddest part. Nobody is perfect but to be murdered because your an inconvenience to his lifestyle and family is disgusting. Thank you for giving Rachel and her family a voice ❤

FOURTY-ONE MINUTESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

So tragic 💔😢 What an arrogant scumbag,glad he is locked away where he belongs...I hope her children are living good lives🙏

Best true crime Channel on KZfaq

I’m really appreciate your sympathetic delivery of these hard cases. Thank you for the effort you put in to creating such good content. 🙏

I also completely believe he's a psychopath. RIP Rachel

I am new to your channel and may I say you have such an amazing sincerity in your voice it is absolutely beautiful. My heart goes out to Rachael and her family especially her two little boys may she rest easy at our Lord's Hands 💛

Excellent Alice and Mia thanks so much from Australia x
