Blind Woman Murdered: The Suspicious Death Of Holly Bartlett | Real Stories

Фильм және анимация

When blind Halifax resident Holly Bartlett was found almost a kilometer from her condo, police quickly closed her case, calling her death an accident. They concluded the 31-year-old woman, who was blind, wandered drunk and disoriented away from her building, crawling under a fence and up a cement structure beneath the McKay Bridge, where she suffered the injuries that contributed to her death. Family, friends, and colleagues have never believed it, insisting her death was suspicious.
Almost a decade later, a team of investigators return to Holly’s story. Reviewing old evidence and uncovering new, this program sheds light on what really happened that frosty March evening in 2010.

Absolutely zero dollars that is won or settled by people who sue officers or departments comes from those officers or departments. 100% of it comes from the tax payers as do all court costs for the officers and departments. So what are they suing for, exactly? A tap on the wrist at most.

Like in the moment you might not expect to miss something like that. It's annoying, it's not enjoyable in the moment. But once they're gone, you miss all their habits, the good and the bad, because it's part of them and you love them. I feel so bad for Hollys family. They seem like such nice people and from what they relay Holly seems so nice/funny/cool.

    @Vivian Ellingson What.. Did you even watch the end of the video.. She didn't just die out exploring wtf... The taxi driver purposely took her to the wrong spot to rob her or do worse. They got into an argument, left her scared for her life while he STOLE from her, which ended up causing her to flee trying to get back to where she knew was safe, knowing she couldn't go the other way because she didn't know what he was going to do, THEN ended up falling to her death ultimately as she was only able to crawl out to as far as to where she ended up actually being found. Where in that, does that not seem like a crime to you? You sound like you're the person who did it or their family, like wtf.... He literally didn't take her home where he actually should have one. His one and only job. Two, he than proceeded to steal from her and take HER PROPERTY..... Causing her to run for her life... Oh but yeah.... ~E X P L O R I N G~ Mhmmm def no c r i m e here guys.... Just intoxicated woman being responsible trying to get someone whom she would think could be deemed trust worthy to do their job and actually take her home where they should have but instead lead her to a back part where she didn't know, steal and fight from her, scare her for her life, which ultimately caused her to lose her life but yeaaaah she was just out there e x p l o r i n g guys... even though the bus camera PROOFS the taxi driver was THERE and took her THERE,...The taxi driver also ADMITTED to stealing from her (Robbing, taking her money. Which I'm pretty sure is a crime no matter where you live....),.. and there being an argument... But hey again, just out exploring while drunk. Some where she's not familiar with because that makes so much sense right... That sounds exactly like the dam* cops man. If they would've even TRIED to do their dam* job that poor family could've had a little more closure with the untimely and tragic death of their loved one. So terrible, and disgusting, and talking about her death in that manner honestly upsets me just as it does the family. She was NOT putting herself in danger and going places she didn't know while she had been drinking. She was smart, and knew what her limits were, and knew her boundaries. This poor family man. Not sure how anyone could still say something like that after watching this video. Honestly how could they in the first place is beyond me. May she rest in peace, and may this family find peace in their life as well.

It honestly scares me just how off you are in your comments, and how much you confidentially are displaying your very inaccurate opinion.

He did it even if he didn't mean too and him admitting to the lesser crime he thinks will get him off the hook and they will look somewhere else on the major crime!🤷. Just my opinion though!

    As the neighbor of a blind man who walks everywhere I can say that they are very capable of knowing if they are going in the right direction or not. I have watched this man get lost and quickly use his cane to find his way back to the path he needs. There is no way this woman would be heading in the wrong direction, then climb through a fence thinking she was heading in the right direction to get home. I don’t care how drunk you are, you know your way home and if she was so drunk then why didn’t someone tell her to stay where she is or offer to make sure she got home safely since they had never seen her so drunk??

    I'm blind myself and I can imagine the fear Holly must have been in only too well. One of the most terrifying things about those kind of situations is that if you're blind, you have absolutely no way of knowing whether you are being pursued or not. Especially with the heavy traffic in the background, Holly wouldn't have known whether the taxi driver is still sitting in his taxi or whether he is only a few feet behind her, about to grab her. Also, if she did get attacked, she can't have had even the slightest chance. More so than physique, blindness is a giant disadvantage in such situations. I'm a 6'1'', 220lbs guy but if anyone seriously tried to murder me, they would probably succeed. Being blind just makes you incredibly vulnerable and defenseless in dangerous situations.

    Hi, I’m fully blind myself and I can tell you with absolute certainty that blind people will never drink in public to an extent that they’ll start to lose their physical coordination. We are always careful no matter what to retain our physical control till we reach the safe space. Personally, whenever I’m slightly drunk and have to cab it home, most cab drivers wait till I’m safely inside the building. I definitely expected better from the police, but sadly we do suffer from the tyranny of low expectation.

    Just because you are hypervigilant about not getting overly intoxicated because you are blind doesn't mean that all blind people are. Also, alcohol causes a lack of inhibitions which could lead an intoxicated person to engage in risky behavior that they don't usually engage in. Oh and BTW alcoholism doesn't descriminate, just like blindness doesn't descriminate.

I think that's pretty dang extreme. Especially when alcoholism And addiction know NO boundaries! I can 100% guarantee you, as a person, can SEE, that there is a blind alcoholic out there in this world who has lost physical coordination in public. I can also assure you 100% that there are also blind people that suffer from issues with substance abuse/addiction. To deny these facts are indeed.....being blind.

    @Vivian Ellingson (Just a quick copy and past from a reply I made to an other comment of yours else where in the comment thread where you said the same thing. Where there wasn't a crime, and she died because she was intoxicated and "exploring" and it honestly pissed me off,... so Imma just paste that here again. I stand by what I said in the following.... The fact that you're commenting every where being so ill informed talking about her exploring is nuts. Also, fuc*king adventure? pshhh OKAY BRO. Okay thanks, everyone have a nice day.. :)..) What.. Did you even watch the end of the video.. She didn't just die out exploring wtf... The taxi driver purposely took her to the wrong spot to rob her or do worse. They got into an argument, left her scared for her life while he STOLE from her, which ended up causing her to flee trying to get back to where she knew was safe, knowing she couldn't go the other way because she didn't know what he was going to do, THEN ended up falling to her death ultimately as she was only able to crawl out to as far as to where she ended up actually being found. Where in that, does that not seem like a crime to you? You sound like you're the person who did it or their family, like wtf.... He literally didn't take her home where he actually should have one. His one and only job. Two, he than proceeded to steal from her and take HER PROPERTY..... Causing her to run for her life... Oh but yeah.... ~E X P L O R I N G~ Mhmmm def no c r i m e here guys.... Just intoxicated woman being responsible trying to get someone whom she would think could be deemed trust worthy to do their job and actually take her home where they should have but instead lead her to a back part where she didn't know, steal and fight from her, scare her for her life, which ultimately caused her to lose her life but yeaaaah she was just out there e x p l o r i n g guys... even though the bus camera PROOFS the taxi driver was THERE and took her THERE,...The taxi driver also ADMITTED to stealing from her (Robbing, taking her money. Which I'm pretty sure is a crime no matter where you live....),.. and there being an argument... But hey again, just out exploring while drunk. Some where she's not familiar with because that makes so much sense right... That sounds exactly like the dam* cops man. If they would've even TRIED to do their dam* job that poor family could've had a little more closure with the untimely and tragic death of their loved one. So terrible, and disgusting, and talking about her death in that manner honestly upsets me just as it does the family. She was NOT putting herself in danger and going places she didn't know while she had been drinking. She was smart, and knew what her limits were, and knew her boundaries. This poor family man. Not sure how anyone could still say something like that after watching this video. Honestly how could they in the first place is beyond me. May she rest in peace, and may this family find peace in their life as well.

    I am so glad this video was made to help this family in their search of justice for Holly. First off, she sounded like an amazing, inspirational fun spirit and it makes me wish I had the honor of knowing her. Right away (haven't seen the end yet, still watching) I knew the cab driver had something to do with it or knows something. I am just to the point where they went to question him... What I found interesting about his account of what happened is that he was very detailed about her entrance to the cab but very vague in the way she exited. (Her friends helped her in etc .. but he just dropped her off). Any human being that had any compassion or empathy at all especially one who is unfamiliar with how blind folks get around would be extra sensitive to this. Probably too much of a help. Now he said he didnt know but then admitted he knew she was looking for her cane. Even if she wasn't drunk most cab drivers would want to make extra sure they made it home safe... Opening the door, sending her in the right direction at the very least. Her face taking the majority of impact, her stuff tossed in the parking lot, her cane tossed out the next day... He admits to robbing her, he has a vague recollection of how she got out of the cab and the fact that Holly wasn't stupid all points to the cab driver. As I hear the ending I completely concur. What a terrible and horrific tragedy. My heart truly goes out to all who loved Holly, such a courageous spirit. What a loss. For the record, regardless of the outcome I would have never thought of her as a "drunken idiot." I hope that cab driver knows his days of freedom are numbered and pray police get their act in gear before they allow him to do this again.

And it is oh, so true, I was horrible, lol 😂. No worries, I never did hair, just got my license. I was 1000% better at driving and fixing forklifts, lol. Anyways, I’ve always remembered this because I think you can apply this to a lot of things, just look on the streets, a lot of these licensed drivers really, really should not be driving. It’s a shame to say that a lot of the officers, detectives, etc are not good. It’s sad to say this happens in all professions, even doctors and nurses 😔. But anyways, I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. Have wonderful, blessed, & safe day ☮️.

    Something similar happened to me as the police had first suspected here: I had just turned 16 and I got to go to my first New Years party with friends. However, I should be home by 12.30 p.m. I had had a few drinks there, but made my way home on time. During the walk, the alcohol developed its full effect. My father, who was worried, searched the entire and extended area of the footpath home and luckily found me very far from the actual path near a barn, almost covered with snow because there was 60 centimeters of snow. I was then driven to the hospital unconscious with frostbite - 30 minutes later I would have been dead.

    Just cannot trust police. There is a deeper reason WHY the police are not investigating. I mean there not stupid. They know this was a shady death. But for some reason the family and the Canadian public will probably never know. Example-they have a drug user that they think most likely killed her. But even though they would know this guy killed her they need him for another investigation. To bust some drug dealer. That is an example of why the police might call a death a suicide when it is obviously a murder. Or maybe they know a cop who has a hard on for blind women. I’m just saying the police know. They have some idea of what happened to her. But for whatever reason they don’t want any part of it. But seriously. I love investigating journalists. And she has a passion for this case. And I applaud her. You go blue eyes.

    What a tragic loss for her beautiful family of a lovely spirited young lady. This woman was obviously a very capable and independent lady so to suggest she got “lost” from the front of her home is ridiculous. It appears that the police made gross assumptions simply based on her lack of vision plus the taxi drivers story is super dodgy (if you saw someone fall most decent people would at least go and check the person was okay) At minimum I suspect she felt threatened by him and got hurt trying to get away. I’m getting angry simply watching this so I can’t imagine how the family felt. Shame on LE - at least do the right thing and admit your mistakes. RIP Holly.

Few days back a blind young gentleman in my car, asked him if he needed help walking to his front door, he said no, but I didn’t leave, I stayed waiting for him to go inside the house, indeed he needed help. I got off my car and verbally directed him to get to his door. It was pretty late at night and I wasn’t going to leave him alone like that. My training wouldn’t allow me either to do that.

As blind people, we are actually more alert to our surroundings, especially when we’re drunk. Also, just like sighted people don’t forget to see when they’re drunk, we don’t forget our mobility skills that we were taught, and that have been drilled into our heads ever since. Our way of navigating is through touch, sound and smell, and we don’t just lose those or forget how to use them when we are drunk. Just like saighted people don’t forget how to see.People are so quick to blame disability, because it’s the easiest thing to do and requires less work.
