The most creepy thing about stalking is that you may not even be aware that its happening to you

Poor Mary Ann. Just trying to live her life without being harrassed. Something we all want. Thank you, BC.

This case just goes to prove that even the smallest decision we make in our lives can be the most profound and life-changing. RIP Mary Ann Welchman!

As someone who has been stalked, while at uni, by an individual who - for weeks - refused to take "No!" for an answer, I have never doubted the dangerousness of such situations. I was fortunate to have a group of "big brother" classmates who strongly encouraged this 'suitor' to abandon his quest for my affection and leave town. Tense times, indeed.

What such a tragic story of this young girl murdered just for not wanting to be with this awful violent young man, thanks for the historical detail about what was happening in the area at that time.

Another sad example of that once someone romantically interested in you starts behaving unreasonable towards you, it's both dangerous, and pointless to think that if you just talk to them one more time, you'll be able to say something that makes them see sense. Poor Mary Ann.

How absolutely terrible. He obviously was not used to being told "NO". These men and women only want their own way. Thank so much for bringing her story to the fore.

My favorite part of these old Victorian era cases is when they easily catch the killer and justice is served !Without forensics etc much back then,you had to a truly excellent investigator! Great one! Thanks BC!❤

It's even frightening to have someone go off on an emotional tirade because you said no. It is a punishment for the person who did say no? I don't think we do enough to instill in boys that a real man knows how to politely take no for an answer and not use either physical or emotional force. Poor Mary.

It's sadly interesting how many of the stories you've featured are eerily similar to present day crime. Thank you for giving voice to them.

What a sad a tragic story. The saddest part is that Mary Ann wasn't aware of the danger she was in, she thought she could just talk to him and, eventually, he'd see reason. He obviously didn't know or care what "no" means. Poor Mary Ann.

The story never changes, when will men/woman ever understand that you cant make someone love you, especially when you act like a clown. Ty Briefy ❤

Not only do I love the old crimes, I also appreciate the history lesson of the area.

Another story about how people through the ages do not change. Very sad! Thank you BC. For the last few months I've been able to watch your videos while at work in the early daylight, now it's just dark, dark, dark!! But I enjoy them just the same. Have a great day!

Very well told as usual as though you were actually there. You’re an extremely gifted storyteller and your voice is never tiresome to listen to. Thank you for this tragic story. ❤

Mary Ann seemed to be a sweet and beautiful young lady!! This was a case of If I Cant Have Her Now One Can,how sad!! Thanks B C for all of your hard work you put into all of your cases your awesome!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Poor innocent Mary Ann did not realized Mr Mitchell was obsessed with her to the point of murder. She thought she could reason with him, but more times than not, you can't reason with a sick mind. To this day we read/hear about it constantly. Sad story may she rest in peace. Have a good week BC. Greetings from Texas

Salisbury is so upmarket I’m surprised they’ve not buried this story. It hasn’t seriously changed in centuries

not only does this show human nature dosen't change with the whole I can make you love me stuff...but also treatment of the victims. Now we do have stalking laws in most places but it is so difficult sometimes to get the police and court to listen to you. often treating it like a joke when we know how dangerous it can be. and to expect the victim to constantly put up boundaries, the example here her employers 'make him stop coming here.' HOW? HOW do you expect her to do that? She told him to stop thats all she can really do. home, work, the street, mom's house; etc nowhere is a safe place for the victims. it is a constant fear. meanwhile the stalker gets to do whatever they want.

A psychopath wants what he wants. To hell with anyone else. And this one was not a bright one. Poor young woman.

This could be a case that happened in this day and age 😔. Great job as always BC.

One can really tell that you put a lot of effort into both the research and the script. Excellent video! ❤

Your descriptions of the historical context and setting are the main thing that hooked me on your channel. The one in this video was particularly good! Felt like I was right there in London.

I love the pictures of the Victorian Era English cities. The buildings are so well constructed. They are just so well made. Thank you for telling stories so well.

Creeps have always been with it, it would appear. Sigh. Poor girl. Love the images. I also love the way you set the scene (the era/location/influences/economy/rulers etc) around the people in your accounts. Thanks BC From Australia 🇦🇺

Yes! Perfect timing! It's 9pm in Australia, perfect time to enjoy a Brief Case. Thanks BC. ❤

Great story! Thank you!! I can't help but think of the old saying that "history always repeats itself." Human nature still has a mighty long way to being truly civilized! ❤

You are a great storyteller. I say this because your narration takes me into The crime scene , the town , the lives they led. Thank you for another Monday saver! 🇺🇸

I hate Mondays slightly less because of your uploads, BC....good morning from the US!!!!

Only bright side of this is that he was hanged. Today with a good lawyer, at least here, he would probably serve only little time, get another girlfriend after and kill her too. It happened here (Italy) several times.

I absolutely love the way you write these scripts and present them to us. I've been a subscriber for 5 years or so and I always look forward to watch your uploads on Monday mornings.

Poor Mary Anne. She didn't deserve that. Thank you once again BC

Love the architecture you found for this narration. I follow channels where these huge buildings are explored. Their history is not what we have been told over time. I always asked why the architects built windows underground. These buildings are ubiquitous all over earth. Thanks again.

Hi. I just wanted to say that I look forward to your video's every Monday. The new look to the video's is fantastic. The use of old with the freshness of a human figure makes the story that much more vibrant. I really like it. Such a sad tale. Why can't men & women see that you can't force someone to love you? Love turned obsession is dangerous and destructive.

A case that shows that some men have always had trouble taking “no” for an answer. Makes one sad and angry all at once.

The poor young lady. Thank you for telling us this story.

That was exceptionally written and presented. You do an amazing job. Thank you BC. Such a tragic end to that young woman's life, and sadly not much has changed in 200 years. It is definitely a story to be remembered and a reminder that society must do more to prevent these types of crimes. Truly sad case.

Good morning! I missed you last week. I was sick and when the nurse came in the room and saw me on the phone, she told me I had to put it away. I asked her to let me finish watching your video and she came over to see what I was watching and she watched it with me.😂😂 then when the doctor came in, she jumped up really quick and asked me to put the phone away. I told her you were just watching it with me right in front of the doctor. I wasn’t the only one that was going to get in trouble not by myself. Anyway, this story is sad and scary. It’s obvious James was clearly obsessed with Maryanne and refuse to take no for an answer, and it led to her death. It’s too bad back then they didn’t have things as protective orders and stalking laws like they do today I don’t know if it would’ve helped in this case because he showed up at all times of the day.. I put no blame on Mary and because she seem to just want to be his friend and when he started to be a little improper with her, she made it quite clear that she didn’t want to see him anymore. He had no intention at all to listening to her demands, so no matter what anyone said to him he was going to keep stalking . My only wish is that Maryanne wouldn’t have went up those stairs by herself. There’s so many we could say what she could’ve done or what she should’ve done no matter what I think in the end James was the type of person if he couldn’t have her, no one could.. I also think in the long run he probably would’ve killed her anyway because she kept telling him no he was so obsessed with her that I think if he saw her with another man, he probably would’ve killed them both Thank you for another awesome story. Have a great week. Bless

So so very tragic, and senseless. It unfortunately seems some things will never change. "If I can't have you no one can". Thank you so much Mr BC, for yet another beautifully researched and narrated case, you always deliver!! ❤❤❤

There's something to be said for swift justice! Also, I always enjoy the background information, overview of what was going on in places as the times change. Very good history lessons.

So… stalking is not a new thing.

As always, well told and well illustrated, thanks for this glimpse into a shady past that always enthralls. RIP Ma'am.

A ponderous case made even more intriguing by the fact he almost got away with it. If she's just not into you gentlemen, wait and find someone who is. Epitome of narcissism. If you can't have her no one can. I believe there is love for everyone who is a half way descent human being. Be your best and love (not lust) your heart with full spirit and soul

This is an almost textbook case of erotomania, which co-exists and is a common symptom of bi-polar disorder, and also less commonly with schizophrenia. The incidence occurs 3 times more frequently in women than men. These people suffer delusions and become totally obsessed by their target and cannot be reasoned with. Medical management in the form of psychiatric medicines, consistently administered during their lifetime is required to calm and manage this disorder. Behavior modification counseling on its own has no effect. It is thought that there is a deficiency in the temporal part of the brain that affects reasoning ability. If not physically prevented from contacting or seeing the person of their obsession, the erotomaniac's behavior will continue to become more intense, irrational and violent. They like to "own" their victims by killing them without remorse. Anyone can be the target of this kind of dangerous obsession and stalking, but it is a common problem encountered by famous people.

Such a sad case, having an situation like this is panic inducing. Maybe if Mary Ann's brother or another men confronted her stalker, things could be different. Nonetheless a person that's acting in such irrational manner is unpredictable. Thank you Brief Case for this upload, lovely illustrated, well researched and pleasantly narrated. Your videos keeps getting better each time.

Human behavior never changes it seems. So sad. Great storytelling & video as usual BC!

Why didn't her brother or others step in and help her? Another male would have put him in his place and possibly drove him away for good. Thanks for another interesting case, BC.

Great job as usual BC! Sad sad story. I am pretty sure he was stalking her way before he got the chance to approach her the first time. He was a psychopath!I am glad she got justice! May her soul rest in perfect peace

They wasted no time from the crime, to the trial to the execution in those days.

Thank you again, BC! Wonderfully written and delivered episode ... and so tragic!

Good morning BC from Montréal Québec today... Monday can start now 😊. Have a great week BC.

Your narratives are such an an 👏 insight into lifestyles overtime

That wasn't love, that was obsession.

Good morning all from South Jersey USA

He was a modern day stalker. Quite dangerous.

Thank you BC I love my Monday mornings with my coffee and your video! ❤️❤️❤️

Always brief but always excellent. Love your channel!

Thanks Brief Case! Both victim and perpetrator were quite attractive; I'm sure that enhanced the media interest in much the same way as today. Your narrative this week was especially well written and spell binding!

This rendition of the story was especially well written! Congratulations!!!

He got what he deserved.. If not caught he would have moved onto his next victim. He was a predator nothing more nothing less.

I wished I lived then, and showed Mr Mitchell the REAR NAKED CHOKE. He wouldn't come around again. That beauty would have lived.

Always interesting Thank you

Thank you BC, another great story, looking forward to every Monday! Great job !

Thanks for the upload, Brief Case!

This is truly sad and how entitled men like this are, not taking and grasping that stalking someone after making it clear there not interested and eventually killing her is horrific 😢

Thank you so much for sharing her story ❤

Morning BriefCase! Morning BC Fam! (Thank you or the upload).

It's not changed, has it? 😔🤦🏼‍♀️

Your videos are not only interesting for the true crime. The way you start off explaining the era of the crime and what went on at that time, industry etc., it becomes a history and social studies lesson, too. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Poor innocent beautiful young lady! I wanted to mention many times, your words are fantastic how you tell the story…not just this but all! You really take us back to the appropriate times….❤️

HELLO BC! CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN ON SPONSOR! Happy Merdeka Day in advance because this Thursday is Merdeka Day for Malaysia!

Yaya! Love your videos. Thank you have a wonderful weekend

Monday night 8.30 and time for my fix with Briefcase. What a wonderful written and narrated story. Thankyou BC x

Good morning BC! Thank you for another well done video.

Being beautiful is a double edge sword.

Good Contant. Thank you. I appreciate your style and your hard work that goes into this and I like these older stories. They’re very interesting stuff going on forever hasn’t it anyway

Great Job Mate 👍

Ty for posting! How old are the photos?

As always an amazing job thank you thank you! I don’t know what I would do without you….you are my constant and I love everything about your channel. You probably get tired of me saying that!😂❤ Oh and yet another case of what I always say “you just can’t do anything with crazy” sad but true.

I truly enjoy all of Brief Case uploads they are very interesting

Thank you for being my favorite you tube channel❤️

What is even sadder is that women actually die every day because of men can’t handle a no or the end of a relationship.

The pictures are amazing!

Thank you BC for sharing🥂❤️💋

Excellent job with the A.I images my man. I can see where these will definitely add another level to your show. 👏

It is always sad to hear another timeless story of a man who has a twisted soul take the life of a kind woman. If he can not have her no one will Well Done

Yay, @Briefcase! Fascinating history, just in time for bed 😌

Hi B.C.! Early stalking. I’ve been stalked a few times. It’s sick the lengths people go to just to torture themselves. I love you so much! You sounded a bit hoarse in the beginning, try honey lemon tea! Use real honey if you have it. It will sooth it. You’re still my favorite crime narrator and historian! The research you do is absolutely amazing. Until the next Brief Case😊

The whole "if I can't have you, know one will" killer is so frightening and hasn't changed through the annals of time.

I really enjoyed this case, excellently researched and narrated as usual

I studied abroad in the early 90s and i had a stalker in my first two years there. I'd find flowers at my door, later sweets and love poems. It took a sinister turn when one note described how i had spent the previous two days, what i wore and what i had eaten at the student cafeteria. I did go to the police but back then it wasnt taken seriously. I'm not easily frightened but the notes turned darker every month. I came back home and finished my studies here. I never found out who it was.

It is sad, but this behavior continues , today. “No” holds little meaning to people. Stories like this continue today. Only positive, the monster was put to death.

Such a sad story for the poor girl. Thanks for sharing.👍

Excellent presentation, BC. Another example of "It shouldn't have happened but sadly it did."

Thanks BC! Love em all!

Hard to believe she went back up there by herself after he had been so aggressive already about the letter.

Hmmmmmmmmmm the story is strange 😔thanks sir fantastic job very nice explanation 👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻GOD bless you n protect you always all the best 👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

😥💔Very tragic, such a waste! She was very beautiful. 🙏RIP🌹💋

Good idea! ❤
