I originally came to Adrian's channel because of the horror and coffee vibe. Now, I'm just so impressed with how much educational content he has on different cultures and cities, how he discusses brutal murders with compassion and humanity, and how he memorializes the victims. Film nowadays loves to idolize psychopathy. We idolize violence. We idolize serial killers. And while that's exciting, seeing someone give the victims the focus they deserve is refreshing and really feels right. Thank you Adrian, and I'll be back for more ☕

It's disgusting how much women have to do. How we can never feel safe. When I was working late nights in college there was someone in town posing as a cop pulling women over when it was dark, in secluded areas. He even had lights on his car like an unmarked police car would. Since then we are "allowed" to find a populated well let area before we pull over. I think women should always be allowed to have a female police officer present. If a woman has to leave her car. Even then it isn't guaranteed safety, not by a long shot.

I have the strong need to write a comment, even though the video was made 8 months ago. The way the video was put together to tell the story of Sarah’s life and untimely death is so well put and beautifully done. You truly showed that just because Sarah had struggles with addiction, it doesn’t mean she wasn’t worth the life that was stolen from her. I didn’t know her, but I feel like I do. That all addicts, one’s still in the madness of addiction and those that are in recovery, all carry a bit of Sarah’s story within us. The ups and downs, the tormenting, abusive relationships we’ve endured and even made others endure being the abused and the abuser. Thank you for telling her story, and giving her a voice of one that truly deserved life, no matter her own personal struggles within it

As an addict for over 20 years I can confirm just how true this is. I've been clean several years now though. It's a horrendous existence that's for sure, so many completely irrational, stupid decisions. So many times I risked arrest or even death by decisions clouded by the irresistible haze of heroins warm embrace or desperate want of the same. Free now, but with addiction you are sadly never truly free. You always have that monkey on your back/black dog that follows you everywhere you go. That voice in the back of your head encouraging you to just do it one more time........But you know that it wouldn't be just one more time. Others try to understand what addiction must be like, but only another addict truly knows. To others, even to one's self, addiction is an irrational and unfathomable beast.

A very sad and tragic case indeed. My best friend met her while she was working at the pub here in town and he was drinking there with a mate. They became friends over time and after she was killed, he didn't want to watch or hear any news about her murder. It was just too much to bear for him I think. In remembrance of their friendship, he had his left wrist tattooed with "RIP Sarah" and a little bee. He always remembered and spoke about her, about the fun times. Such a shame that this happened to her and that this monster was allowed to be on the street, living among society. Similar circumstances to the Jill Meagher case, as in the offender being released to kill again. The Victoria justice system has tightened up on offender's parole since and because of the murder of Jill Meagher and rightly so! Thank you for another great video Adrian.

The motive was definitely him being rejected by her after he offered her her drug of choice. He wanted to be paid promiscuously and she was not into him. She was young and pretty, he was old and dirty n disheveled looking. He wanted what he couldn’t get after bumming her some drugs n he knocked her off for it. He’s a monster that never shouldve been let out to begin with. Australia’s justice system is pathetic. The worst most heinous murders get a max of 23yrs with parole, including a high profile murder trial I was subpoenaed to testify for the prosecution for in the Melbourne Supreme Court after I became after an unknowing accomplice in the murderers escape to Thailand as I sold him his one way ticket back to Thailand only 5 hours after he had hacked at a Good Samaritan to death in public and was fleeing the country. I owned the travel agency at Melbourne airport where he turned up on his Thai passport to get an urgent one way flight back to Thailand. There were some small odd behaviours by him during my 20 minutes getting him an urgent one way flight out of the country, but nothing that made me think possible murder because being located at the airport we got the majority of urgent travel requirements for immediate same day travel for urgent reasons for f all kinds. It wasn’t until I got a visit at my workplace 2 days later by homicide detectives who interviewed me for 3 hours in a private room and recorded at my workplace. He was extradited back to Australia 5 years later to face the murder trial, and I was subpoenaed to testify which I did, very nervously. In the family and witness green room, protected by my minder to ensure I didn’t disappear anywhere before I was called in to give my testimony on the day about 8 weeks into the trial, I met his the victims mother in the private family and prosecution witness room where media were banned from. I remember asking her if she was also a witness as it was just her and I in the room after a lunch break together with my minder. She then told me that she was the victims mother. I remember the instant shame n guilt I felt in that moment and apologised profusely in tears because it was my actions at work that day that placed him on an urgent one way flight back to his home country as he was travelling on a Thai passport. I told her my regret that I didn’t pick up any signs that made it obvious to me at the time or raise my suspicion, because my actions caused her 5 years of pain and agony after losing her son in a horrific public targeted murder where he was hacked to death, before he was extradited back 5 years later. The fact it took 5 years to bring him back to Melbourne to face justice and that she suffered that whole time with no justice for her son, I felt responsible for that delay in her getting justice for her son. She was very compassionate as I cried whilst apologising to her and said she considered it very brave for me to testify against him at all because not all witnesses were willing to and explained how grateful she was that I was a key witness in helping him receive justice, and not to feel guilty for the 5 years it took to get him back because I didn’t know any different at the time. It didn’t change my guilty feelings for her and her son, but she hugged me tight as I cried and she cried with me only 45mins before I was finally called from the witness green room for my time on the stand that day. She said it was brave and courageous and how proud she was I was not too afraid to take the stand, and just having the chance to express my guilt to her for my part in delaying justice gave me a sense of peace and closure. An amazing woman, and the man got 23 years in prison with parole after 18 years. That’s is about as high as sentences for premeditated targeted murder get for these disgusting heinous perpetrators. I truly wish to God that he had gotten life in prison with no possibility of parole, but that is so rare in Australia that it blows my mind that these people ever have an opportunity to get out ever again. I will never forget the compassion and comfort his mother gave me and the strength she gave me to heal from my guilt for my unwitting involvement in his murder case by helping the murderer escape the country and five years of consistent work by Australian detectives to get him back to Australia to finally get him to trial. I will never forget. I hope his family has found some level of peace now, and if I helped in any of that process, I am proud that I was at least able to do that and play my role in locking this sick murderer up.

It always feels so much more difficult seeing a beautiful woman’s life cut short by the hands of a monster so close to home.

@@stephenalex4345 Thanks Stephen. I lived within 15-20 minutes of this area. Yes, unliveable in terms of our world record breaking lockdowns unfortunately :(. It’s been a really terrible time here for many. There are so many empty shops and small businesses in normally busy areas of businesses that have faced lockdown after lockdown and can’t withstand this one financially. It’s really sad. Suicide rates have increased, and it’s not really reported on. Mental health issues, domestic violence and rates of animal abuse have also increased. We have basically been forced to vaccinate, or face not being able to work or do things like go to bars and restaurants. We had to stay within a 5k radius or face huge fines and have a 9pm curfew. I think it’s now 10kms, but I don’t really pay attention to the news anymore as it is a morbid reminder of the current situation. We still don’t know if we will be able to actually return to normal even if we are fully vaccinated by the end of October/early November. People are really over it. Have a great day and hope the situation is treating you better in the UK!

@@astrid8433 Thank you for replying. That sounds absolutely terrible. So many small, successful family run businesses have been forced to close here in the UK too. Our current situation isn't the same as yours in terms of lockdown, however suicide rates and domestic violence are at an all time high. There is a huge backlog of cancer patients needing treatment too, and nobody is talking about it. As for vaccination, the level of coercion is concerning. They are stripping peoples civil liberties unless they get vaccinated. Here in the UK, the JCVI who advise on vaccinations, told the Government not to vaccinate children, yet the Government are still going ahead with it. People need to wake up. Have you ever visited the UK? Hope you're having a good day.

Now this piece of rubbish that took the life of this young woman just because he couldn't take no for an answer, i hope he rots where he is. Respect is a two way street that through mutual understanding and finding out about the other person, it is not take what you want just because you want it. Now, because of the Austrailian judicery service two innocent young women have died at his hands. It's all very well that he had the childhood upbringing from hell, it's called therapy and learning not to make the mistakes of his parents. Yes, i would not want any child to be brought up by his parents because they should be in jail themselves for the abuse of their son. I wish Sarah's mother peace in any way she can find it, because i know that particular hurdle is a very hard one to climb over in losing your child. Thank you Adrian and see you on your next case.

Hey Adrian I just wanted to say I'm loving your channel, you cover cases that are quite often new to me and I'm a serious true crime obsessive, I really like your narration style and attention to detail but most of all your delicate indignation and sincere sympathy for the victims, I've started to really look forward to hearing your voice so don't stop doing what you are doing because you are smashing it.

If Sarah is a not a horrible person and an adict.. She could have been still living today. I have to say it's her fault as well for being a recursive adict.

It's so weird when one of your favourite channels covers something so close to home. I know this really rocked my home town (BM) when it occurred, and a lot of us were truly mortified by the system when the case was trialled. It's refreshing to see sarahs story covered in a respectful manner.

Damn i didn’t expect the mention of Sarah's beloved dog being looked after by her mom in her absence would cause me to cry but it sure did. The idea of never coming home to your dog is absolutely heart shattering. I hope Sarah has found peace, in wharever comes after this life.

Murder should be life in prison with parole possible after 30 years or life without parole.
@namewithheldbygoogleforsec6732 жыл бұрын
Oh, I've ALWAYS believed that parole should be abolished for all crimes, but particularly for murder and rape/child molestation. Personally, I think all murderers should spend the rest of their life in gaol, only being released upon their death, and every other crime they should serve the maximum sentence that can be given for the crime committed. Good behaviour should be rewarded with improvements to their current life in gaol. If they don't comply to rules, they lose whatever they get rewarded for their good behaviour. Gaol nowadays is more like a cheap/free hotel.

I was engaged to someone who struggled just like Sarah did, struggled to beat his addiction, struggled to ignore his yearning for it, struggled with the issues he used it to escape. To the end of his young life, he never gave up. So I know how bravely she fought to be better. I know how bleak each set back looked to her. I know how hard it was to pick herself up again. But, just like my guy did, Sarah always got back up. We can be angry at addicted loved ones for what they put us through...but when they fight this hard to live, we admire their courage and we are immensely proud of every victory. Sarah's murderer took this optimistic, tenacious, loving soul from the world before she could beat all of her demons and I guess that's the saddest part to me...I wish she'd been able to feel finally victorious.

My sister lived, and still currently lives on the same block that the home where the wheelie bin was found with Sarah’s remains is located, and I remember walking my dog past the home whilst the white car was still out the front in the days before and then during when the crime scene was finally being processed. I walked around the crime scene tape only inches from the car and knew something horrible was finally found there. My sister’s backyard is only 4 homes apart from this house where Sarah’s body was found. I heard about the case and read that the suspect had been registered as a tenant to the house in point Cook via FB social media at the time , so I was wondering why in the world investigators were not there in the first 24-48hrs after knowing he was likely there immediately after Sarah went missing and they were trying to track the suspects movements to find sarah. I even mentioned this in a Facebook post about the case at the time and said they should be searching for her there…and what were they waiting for. I visited my sister daily during this period and walked my dog around the block daily. It wasn’t until 3-4 days after my post saying it was obvious where he took her that I finally saw police crime scene activity at the exact house specified in his address given online in Point Cook. I had no idea they’d find her in the wheelie bin, but to me they were 2-3 days late n should’ve been onto this location immediately. I used to own the block of land 4 houses back on the same block, but separated from my boyfriend about a year earlier, so I sold the vacant land to my sister n husband as they were also looking to build in the area. Sometimes this is just a little close to home and sometimes they should consider the posts of people that have posted tips about clues I thought would be blatantly obvious to investigators. The fact that there was zero activity by crime scene forensics at this specific home which I posted specifically online on a page setup to help find Sarah until about 3 days after my post is pretty poor by investigators imo. That means I walked right by the home on the footpath going directly past the home and driveway to the home 3 times in 3 days whilst Sarah’s body was cemented into a wheelie bin n sitting at the property undiscovered before I finally saw police activity on day 4. I was visiting over Xmas holidays so I was there for a week at my sisters and walked my dog around the block twice a day every day that her body was still sitting Undiscovered at the exact location I mentioned they should be jumping all over immediately. All whilst her mother was suffering and not knowing where she could be. Poor work by detectives imo. If I can look it up and find his location through his Facebook page, detectives should have been much quicker than me to search the obvious location. Sad case for this young lady and her mother and friends. The house was sold not long after the investigation was completed, but I no longer walk my dog around that block anymore when I visit cos it gives me the creeps now. Knowing I’m only 10 metres from the wheelie bin containing her remains multiple times and knowing beforehand that it was the exact address I posted the tip about, I couldn’t believe I turned out to be right on point within minutes of looking up the suspects FB be profile. They were looking for her in bushes near bacchus marsh, when they should have been at this address immediately instead. Very sad and kinda frustrating that public investigation (and yes, I do follow true crime carefully) from someone like myself could put the obvious together of where she was likely hidden before investigators trained in their jobs even bothered to clue into the exact information I was offering them days beforehand. Poor work. Yes they found her…but about 4 days later when to me it was the most obvious place to check first. Sending prayers & love to Sarah’s family and friends 🙏
