So many of these true crime stories end up being “a man decided that he was entitled to a woman’s life so he killed her.” Thank you for putting so much energy and thought into every video you make - your care is demonstrated in the quality of your work.

Strangulation takes 4-5 minutes - and yet Tabak claimed he killed her unintentionally. I call bullshit. 4 minutes is a long time - long enough to recognise what you are doing is wrong, come to your senses and stop. Tabak's internet history showed an obsessive interest in necrophilia porn - he was clearly getting off on the whole thing. He's a highly dangerous pervert, who would always kill a woman or child (he viewed child porn too), when an opportunity presented itself. This video paints Vincent Tabak as a mid-40s loner, but in reality he was just 32 at the time of the murder and socially successful with a live-in girlfriend, a prestigious professional career and a circle of loyal friends (so loyal, they protested his innocence to the media after he was charged, saying he wasn't capable of such an horrific crime). If Tabak had been the stereotypical lonely loser this video suggests, police may have recognised him as prime suspect from the start - he was the victim's next door neighbour, after all! But because he appeared well groomed, successful and conventional, with a girlfriend and a happy life, police didn't suspect him - and worse, allowed themselves to be manipulated by him when he pointed the finger at his innocent landlord Christopher Jeffries. It was pretty obvious early on Joanne Yeates abduction/murder was sexually motivated. Her body had been removed from her flat, driven some miles away and dumped, so her killer was almost certainly a straight male with the necessary youth and strength to not only kill her, but to deal with her dead body afterwards. Smart police work would have discounted the elderly, small, frail and homosexual Christopher Jeffries early on!

Yep - funny that. Almost as strange as the fact strangling someone to death takes 4 - 5 minutes - it takes focus and determination, and allows plenty of time before you end the person's life to let go and not kill them. Vincent Tabak was enacting a long-held, perverted fantasy of sexual violence on his neighbour Joanna Yeates - that was in his mind when he realised she was alone, knocked on her door and talked his way into her flat on some false pretext. There was nothing accidental about this crime! His internet history was full of dark strangulation/necrophilia porn, which confirmed his motive. He may look like a harmless accountant - poor Joanna was fooled and it cost her her life. But Vincent Tabak is a highly dangerous sex predator. He will always pose a serious risk of harm to women and children, and must never be released from prison.

Yes. The wrong person was arrested. And yes, his cries and actions for Justice did take the spotlight off arresting, trial, and conviction of the real perpetrator. The absolute horrible press coverage demeaning and ignoring his true character was unreasonable. Not only did he have to be concerned about going to trial for a crime he knew nothing about he was also deprived any basic right of innocent until being proven guilty. The press eviscerated his humanity, moral values, and self-worth without even a hint of fairness. What if it were you, a friend, a family member abused in such a way.....it was/is a damn shame.

Agreed, revolting misogyny and victim-blaming. Joanne Yeates didn't drink to excess, she was actually pretty staid in her habits, held down a professional career, paid her taxes, obeyed the law and lived quietly with her equally respectable boyfriend. But even if she had been roaring drunk and invited Tabak, a close neighbour, to join her for a mince pie and a Christmas kiss, or even sex (look at him - not likely!) it did not give him any excuse to put his hands around her neck, tighten them and shut off her oxygen supply for 4-5 minutes, ending her life! Defence lawyers should not be allowed to besmirch the reputation of victims, when they advocate for their killer client. It's only ever done to female victims of sex crimes - you will never hear the victim of a mugging criticised in court for carrying a wallet, or a home owner blamed for the fact someone broke in and burgled him! Internet searches showed Tabak had a perverted obsession with necrophilia porn - he obviously got off killing Joanna Yeates and was enacting a long-held sexual fantasy. The guy was a pervert who was always going to kill a woman or child (he viewed child porn too), when an opportunity arose. Vincent Tabak looked like a meek, harmless 32 year old professional, but was a highly dangerous predator. Anyone who commits a sexually motivated killing should automatically be locked up for life. Sex killers cannot be rehabilitated, therefore they will always present a risk of serious harm to the focus of their warped lust (usually women and children).

A few key points: 1. The reason the police renewed interest in Vincent was because during the first interview of him and his girlfriend, he asked her to lie and say she was at home that night. She later recanted her story, admitting she was miles away at a party, fueled in part by her suspicion that Vincent was obsessively following the story on the news. 2. Vincent's degree or whatever he studied in crowd or spatial management gave him the idea to go into stores and plant himself in front of security cameras to give himself an alibi. 3. The landlord was the first suspect because Vincent told detectives that he had seen the man park his car in the opposite direction with the booth facing the front, raising suspicion that he had done so to load a body. Otherwise, very well told story as usual.

Random fact - Joanna Yeates' maternal grandmother was a woman called Gwen Troake, who found fame in the 'seventies as the amateur cook who inadvertently ended legendary TV chef Fanny Cradock's career during a notorious TV appearance (Google for details). Gwen died in 1978, before Joanna's birth, so knew nothing of her granddaughter - perhaps a blessing, in view of her tragic murder by Vincent Tabak..

Through all eternity.
I'm very local to this and walked past the house in question several time a week on the way to buy groceries (still do, in fact) It was quite a shock to be so nearby. I also remember some colleagues at the time commenting on Mr. Jeffries appearance (particularly his wild hair), "Oh yes he's definitely guilty, besides, he must be because they released his name." Even after Tabak was convicted and his name was cleared, some of them were still convinced he was involved because "He looks dodgy". Just to clarify also, you mentioned that The Sun was a local Tabloid, but it's actually a National one here in the UK, unfortunately one of the largest too. Thank-you for your presentation :)

@@incisorboy Yes getting Tabak's age so wrong was another very basic error. He is 44 now (in 2022), but was just 32 at the time of the murder in 2010. Tabak was also socially successful, with an attractive, gregarious live-in girlfriend, a prestigious professional career (popular among his colleagues), and a circle of loyal friends. So he was a million miles from the middle aged loner this video presents him as! If Tabak had been the stereotypical lonely loser described in this video, police might have recognised much sooner he was the prime suspect. It's because he was apparently so conventional and lived an apparently happy, conventional life, that police didn't suspect him. Instead they stupidly allowed him to point the finger at his innocent landlord Christopher Jeffries - and made him prime suspect! If detectives had only applied some common sense, they'd have realised Jeffries was a highly unlikely suspect for the sexually motivated murder and disposal of a woman. First of all he was homosexual - so the victim wouldn't have been targeted by him. Also Jeffries was elderly, small and slight, and would have struggled to transport and dump the body. Vincent Tabak however was an obvious suspect for the crime - a young, fit and strong heterosexual male residing next door to the victim, whose internet history revealed some warped fantasy fuel in the form of necrophilia and other violent porn websites, as well as vile child pornography.

Bristolian and avid follower of this case here. You've covered this one well, I was looking forward to you getting around to it, and the video didn't disappoint. One thing you perhaps haven't quite picked up on is how much the awful way the police and the press treated Christopher Jefferies cast a shadow over the whole case, and the eventual conviction of Tabak. The Avon and Somerset police basically just picked up the nearest local 'weirdo' - in this case Jefferies, and tried to bully him into confessing to a crime he had nothing to do with, while the press tried to publicly destroy his reputation. When this came out, it obviously made people wary when they landed on Tabak, as after all, all they had done was moved on to the next closest "weirdo" - the awkward foreigner next door, and the police and press employed the same strategy they had with Jefferies. At least partly as a result, there are still a contingent of people who believe Tabak is innocent, and he just caved under the pressure the establishment applied to solve a high profile case quickly. The behaviour of the police and the press did a lot to erode public trust, especially locally, in both institutions, unfortunately rightly so.

Excellent post. I think this video badly misjudged the whole Christopher Jeffries scandal, an innocent man who was arrested for murder on the real killer's say-so, and then crucified in the national media! There are many errors in this video, which aside from the fact an American unfamiliar with English geography made it, suggest sub-standard research. Vincent Tabak was not 'in his mid 40s' when he murdered Joanna Yeates - he is 44 now, but was only 32 when he committed the crime back in 2010. Nor was Tabak a 'loner' as stated - on the contrary he was socially successful, lived with an attractive and popular girlfriend, held down a prestigious professional career as an architectural engineer, and had a loyal circle of friends. So loyal that many protested his innocence after he was charged with murder, not believing Tabak capable of such an horrific, sexually motivated murder. Vincent Tabak was no lonely weirdo stereotype - which is no doubt why police didn't initially consider him a suspect, despite him being the right age and living next door to the victim. Instead detectives allowed the sly Tabak to manipulate them into arresting innocent Christopher Jeffries, who ironically appeared to fit the eccentric loner profile far better than Tabak, the actual killer. It's disappointing the picture research was poor too, using photos of actor Jason Watkins who played Christopher Jeffries in a 2014 ITV drama on the case, instead of photos of the real Christopher Jeffries! Incidentally, if Jeffries got some financial compensation after his character was destroyed by the national media, a trauma so serious he considered suicide, I say good for him! Why is that 'hypocritical, or in any way cause for criticism? Financial compensation is the very least that poor man deserved!

There’s absolutely nothing stranger than hearing a story based on you’re home city.
I remember this. Creepy dude who needed an intervention BEFORE this happened. Even before he found a girl himself. I would be willing to bet he would eventually have a problem with HER too. She's lucky. RIP Joanna. May God be with your family and friends. I hope his family gets help as well. They obviously missed the signs. It has to weigh heavy. Since they were SO SURE every one was wrong...thanks sir. Happy Holidays🙏💔🕊️ 🎄👼🏼
This is so sad and upsetting a young life cut short by a monster hope this monster is brought to justice and never has freedom again!!Much love and prayers to her family ❤️🙏❤️
I live in bristol.. about 3-4 miles away from Clifton. The landlord was a professor from the uni. He was destroyed.

Yes what happened to innocent landlord Christopher Jeffries - arrested on the say-so of the real killer - then crucified as a sex killer by the media, was an horrific scandal. After that ordeal (which almost prompted his suicide), the least Jeffries deserved was some financial compensation!

You are pumping these episodes out like a machine!!!!
The way you tell these story's are amazing......step by step and very easy too understand. My heart goes out to the love ones.
Great work as ever, thank you for your outstanding work this year, much appreciated by all of us, happy holiday!
Hope you had a good Christmas mate and thanks again for these the gifts you’ve given us this last year!
Dude you’re killing it, a new episode like every other day!! Keep up the fantastic work!! We appreciate it
Jules, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for giving me something to to do while I recover from my Christmas.
That picture of him running....lmao
I really appreciate the info you always provide at the end of your videos! ❤ I’m sure it has helped people
I remember this guy popping up in the paper, because I bore something of an unfortunate resemblance to him. Was a decent running joke for a while 😂

I’m only three minutes in, but I will definitely tell you there are plenty of intelligent people who put themselves in harms way. Being book smart does not make you streetsmart or have common sense

You misunderstood. It's to highlight intelligence yes, but also that she didn't lead a risky type life style. The people she was around weren't leading risky lives such as drug dealing and other such. That's what they mean. It's less likely that she got herself into some trouble, more likely trouble came hunting and locked on her as a target. Hope this helps

You have certainly spoilt us Monsters fans this week. It's helped me get through this hot weather with a couple of days over 100°F down here in Australia. It's too hot to go outside. I don't do the heat well at all. Looking forward to Winter. So thank you so much Jiles and have a great New Year ☆

I’m very much an introvert but have several friends because I’m friendly and kind to people. He had no excuses, and I hate introverts who act like people owe them something even if they’re shy/awkward. Learn how to communicate and treat others well and things will happen for you.

{not comparing this monster at all} Sometimes the shyness, awkwardness is also a symptom of undiagnosed other mental health issues that can include paranoia and confusion when communicating, so yes, kindness is the key.

I live not far from where this happened. The way the press reported this and hounded the landlord was disgusting. Its only when you see something play out in real life at the same time as seeing it in the media that you relaise just how worthless, and sometimes dangerous, journalism and reporting has become.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you 🙏

I'm going to say it again, your videos n research are top notch. Your production is one of the best channels out there. I can't understand why your not more popular but please keep with it. I know I consider you one of my favorite n top 3 true crime creators. I recommend you several times on other channels n truly appreciate your dedication and professionalism. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

I agree, but over 500k is awesome. Those with over a million have FAR too many trolls, trust me I witness it daily. Jiles has 593 thousand true fans, and that is great. He is very popular, this channel comes up in every conversation about the best true crime creators on youtube. If you look at Matt Orchard, Dave’s Lemonade and Disturbing Truth, they’re ALL top-notch just like Jiles, but their numbers aren’t in the millions and they are very popular. I find the conversations on these channels much more intellectual, as opposed to some with over a million subs and who knows how many trolls-lots! Take care
