Canada's Chris Watts | The Slippery Case of Robert Leeming 

UPDATE 24/01/22: Robert leeming has been found GUILTY of Aliyah Sanderson's murder, and is now convicted of two counts of second-degree murder. You can follow me on instagram for more case updates: instagram.com/coffeehousecrime

All he had to do was ask her to leave, just as Chris Watts could have divorced Shannan. I hate these men. They are both inadequate people who don't deserve to ever walk free.

Anyone who would intentionally hurt a dog cannot be trusted!

You’ve got to be kidding me.. this guy literally told his deepest, darkest secret, a secret that would ruin his life and take away his freedom to 2 undercover cops pretending to be locals that he had JUST met outside of a liquor store. Not only that, but he actually took them to the location where he dumped the bodies. All in the matter of a few hours.

The huge red flag in those media interviews is the fact he was regularly laughing and smiling when his ‘good friend’ was missing

I will never ever ever understand why these men do not just tell the woman they do not want to be involved with them anymore and just move on. It's just beyond me.

UPDATE: The judge found him guilty of BOTH murders.

Animal abuse should be severely punished! Normal humans don't harm animals. It is the first sign of a phyco!!

"There was one thing that was preventing their relationship from progressing any further, and that was - the Atlantic Ocean," got a good chuckle out of me

"Being British, he went straight to the pub for a drink" Never have I been so insulted by something I 100% agree with :P

I'd never heard of this case before this video. Absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating.

It's so scary because this guy's description perfectly matches my ex. The verbal and emotional abuse turned into physical one day and after the police left (he had fled), I packed up a few things and left with my toddler. We never went back.

This story left me completly broken and devastated. Learning that this dear mom found her sweet baby child dead on her bed... I have no words. Cannot begin to imagine their suffering. I hope they are holding each other in heaven as they do in all the pics. To their family: I am so deeply sorry for your loss and unimaginable pain ♡

I can’t believe he confessed to strangers... I’ve never heard of this case.

I love the way to cop talks. "You're not making a whole lot of sense here guy". love it

That poor woman and adorable child. Man, I’m crying just watching this breaks my heart.

I'm no expert but as soon as I saw the strips of bacon placed around the house the first thing that I thought of was he's trying to cover the smell of decomposition in case the cops brought in dogs that are trained for that. I don't believe he accidentally killed the little girl either, he doesn't deserve another second alive.

It's terrified whenever the line "and then he grew angry" means a simple emotion lead to a woman's death, it's too common and terrifying.

What is scary for me is that, if he hadn't blabbed to his two new friends, the undercover officers, he may still be free. I'm glad that her family got the closure they deserved. What a horrible man.

used to live in cranston, rode past this complex everyday each summer. his ex was my teacher in grade 7-8 but had to leave. a month n a bit later i found out it was cuz of this. glad she made it out, sorry for the two that lost their lives.

I love that you have Jasmine back her voice by sharing her message to the world. She seemed like a positive person who loved life and her family... the complete opposite of Robert

To me another interview red flag was him saying ‘towards the end’ - felt like a slip up of him meaning towards the end of their lives. I reckon any innocent person would have said ‘up until they went missing’ or something similar. Another expertly covered case Adrian well done! x

him laughing while being interviewed was haunting! thanks for this one, i’d never heard of it before!

The narrator of this program is superb. Articulate and reasonably opinionated. The stories are also very fascinating and addictive. Keep up the outstanding work!

Why on earth do authorities allow this to happen. Here in the UK I met someone who seemed really amazing. Yes too good to be true. Q few months in I had a knock on the door. Two people, one a detective and one a social worker. They came in and pulled out paper work and a non disclosure form. They revealed all of this guys history and told me how dangerous he was. Certain behaviours and criminal backgrounds should always be monitored and people warned. I'm so sorry this never happened for the beautiful momma and her baby girl ❤

I am from Calgary and have never heard of this story. Thank you for covering it. There's another one from Calgary you should look into. Into I believe it happened about 7 years ago. Now. It's where a police officer's son went nuts and stabbed a bunch of people at a house party and killed five people. It was incredibly sad. It affected so many people around Alberta. I'd love to see you try to cover that one

I don’t get how a spouse/lover can kill someone and then not expect to be caught or the main suspect. It’s almost ALWAYS them, like come on

when you edited it the part "correct , correct, correct, correct" i laughed so hard because i was thinking the same exact thing ! Also , it's creepy how he is laughing and doesn't seem a bit concerned! you can tell he did something to her and her daughter !

HOW on earth did the investigators not find ANYTHING in the house? He’s either really good at cleaning a crime scene or those investigators are absolutely USELESS!

Sarah was *VERY* smart to get the hell out of that relationship and for fighting for sole primary custody of her child. I don’t think I have to tell anyone here what an inherently evil thing it is to harm pets, let alone kill them. That’s one of the biggest and brightest red flags there is. But what a cruel and torturous thing to do to a helpless dog. Describing him as a heinous monster is even an understatement. But not just satisfied with killing his pets, he decides he needs to kill a woman & child who opened their lives to him and who had loved him. He’s a man without a soul and with no humanity, a truly disgusting individual.

Even if Aliyah really fell down the stairs while in his care, it's still extreme child neglect resulting in death, for which he should be held accountable. However, seeing what he did to the dog in his previous relationship and telling his ex that she "burdened him with a dog and a child he never asked for", I can only assume he felt the same about Aliyah and probably murdered her by pushing her down the stairs himself.

I've been watching a marathon, in essence, of all of your shows. I've enjoyed them all immensely but will be forever struck and touched by Jasmine's writing that you mention in the end. Her words were not only poignant but also prophetic. Keep up the fantastic job Adrian!!!

CC: “That’s when things started to get strange.” Me: “I’m prepared for this. I know what to expect from these stories.” CC: “…and several strips of bacon were strewn about the property.” Me: “Welp, I was wrong.”

He lost me when he tried to hurt a dog. And not just hurt but to left it tied to a tree with no food and water to die. That's just uncalled for and cruel. Absolute psycho. I haven't even heard the whole story yet, but I don't trust this dude already.

"He's British so straight to the pub". If I wasn't so drunk right now I'd be offended.

Man I found this channel today and I can't stop watching these videos I'm gonna tell my mom about it she'll love these stories

This whole case is heartbreaking but hearing that post from Jasmine was devastating. It’s something that I really, really needed to hear right now and I just know that the person who wrote it was a pure soul just trying to bring comfort and confidence to anyone who would read it. Thank you, Jasmine for the pep talk. It was perfect and much needed. You should still be here. 💔

Reporter: “how are you doing through all of this?” Robert: “ 😁 traumatized”

No f**king way the child fell down the stairs and if it was an accident why didn't he call 911? I don't believe it for a second. He deserves to be buried under the prison.

Aliyah’s words at the end strike a very human cord. She seemed like a genuinely good person just living her life to the best of her ability. I’m glad we get to reflect on her impact, thank you for sharing, Adrian ♥️

People are wayyyy too trusting!! You just cannot put your trust in someone so easy and especially with watching a child!!

As a mother, the idea of coming home to your child dead like that...i cant even begin to imagine such pain. Im sorry they met this monster and i hope jasmine and her beautiful daughter rest in peace together :( xxx

The interview where hes laughing.. you can see the evil and fake ignorance in his face.

I’ve never heard of this case until I’ve recently found your page, loving your content! This man is a vile peice of work so heartbreaking how calm he is the whole way through, what a monster I hope he rots just like Chris whatts

Love your narration of the stories. You are very easy to listen to. You cover the main events and speak so well.

He's clearly a very disturbed and manipulative individual, who senselessly extinguished the light of two beautiful souls. Rest gently Jasmine and Aliyah 😔

Incredible story. I actually knew Chris Watts. I live in Fort Collins (about 30 minutes north of his town) and I still work in oil and gas. We weren't buddies but we'd known each other. What he did blew everyone away. It's still taboo to even mention his name around here.

Devastating. And scary. I am in the midsts of leaving my 9 year relationship. Interestingly enough- I immigrated to Canada as my husband is Canadian. I have been trying to get back home for over a year now(we share a son so I cannot just leave with him) and when I tell people my story, most people mention Chris Watts. A seemingly charming and kind person to others would describe my husband- he’d help any stranger… but behind closed doors, to me- not so much. What’s scary is that you never know when people like this will actually snap. He has refused to divorce me all the while having a full fledged affair and being abusive. He sent a person to follow me and he also put a tracker on the car. He was arrested and is facing 3 charges yet still snuck into our house twice, breaching his bail conditions. One of those times, I woke up to him standing at the foot of my bed. I tell myself it’s okay and he won’t hurt me but the truth is that I don’t really know. You never truly know someone. He didn’t really show any signs of being abusive until 7 years into our relationship- which was when he started cheating. The way he can go from rage filled eyes and seemingly hating me to being cool, calm and loving is very alarming. Not normal. When I shared the things he’s done, people gawk at me in disbelief. Those that know him can’t believe it, even with the proof I have to show. I didn’t know about this story but it’s alarming to see how often things like this are happening in the world. One day everything is fine then suddenly, it isn’t. There needs to be much more awareness brought to mental health. There needs to be more implemented ways to help people that are suffering. Doctors need to also listen to the families dealing with an individual with these issues and it should be taken seriously. Any sign of trouble should be looked into and dealt with before it gets to a point where this behaviour is normalized. Sadly, I reported the behaviours to our family doctor but he shrugged it off. That’s where our societies are lacking big time. I bet this woman was also being emotionally abused just like his ex wife. She’s the lucky one because she stood up for herself and walked away. So so sad, another woman and child dead at the hands of someone who only cares about himself.

I'm just seeing this video now and I'd like to compliment your pronunciation of Calgary. You say it like a local 😄. Thank you for your work and covering these tragic events.

“How’re you doing?” Robert: “She’s with her sister!” Hmm 🤔 Did they ask yet?

That’s the silliest way I’ve ever heard of them catching someone. Who the hell would admit to killing two people to two people they barely met and then drive over an hour to the bodies with them?

I live in the city where this happened, and I saw/received amber alerts on Aliyah and Jasmine. I had seen them at a store I frequented and immediately recognized the precious little girl. So upsetting and sadly super common for many people in violent relationships If you see something, SAY SOMETHING.

As a Canadian I am sick and mad of our legal system. There is so many thing that are wrong with it. I apologize to the family and I am very sorry for your loss due to this bad man

Thank you for respecting the victims. I love your work🙏 More Grace to you.

him laughing during the media interview was so weirdly disturbing. sure he was drunk but i think because of his drunkenness you could REALLY tell that it was his true emotion showing

Monster. Hope he gets placed in the jail’s general population. Even in custody criminals have standards - don’t mess with children. My heart goes out to the poor victims and the family. RIP Sweet Mom & Baby 🕊💕

As always expertly narrated. Thank you Adrian from Blackpool Rip to two beautiful angels gone too soon x

I am so happy this case is being covered!! I went to high school with Jasmine, she was always such a shy, kind, quiet and beautiful girl. I never thought something like this would ever happen to someone like her!!! Rest In peace you beautiful soul ❤️

I lived in that complex. Saw it all. Saw him standing outside of the pub drunk. It was eerie and so sad. Poor Jasmine and her daughter. I had to move. It was too hard to look out the window and know they'd both lost their lives so horrifically. So glad they found them, and the family was able to put them to rest, and that this animal is locked up, hopefully for the rest of his miserable life.

I sure appreciate your coverage of these cases. Factual, brutally honest but respectful - truly a class act in the true crime arena. Thank you, sir

Hi Adrian, great work on background research & story line. I'm Canadian and am surprised by some of the Canadian cases you've covered of which I had have never previously heard of before . I did a search for Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolko on your site and couldn't find an episode on them, if this is the case i'd love to see your take on it. Karla only served 10 years for her participation in the rape and killing of three young girls, one being her sister.

Sure, nothing says "I'm innoccent" more than barricading your door to keep police out, and laughing when you get asked about your missing girlfriend and her daughter. This is such a heartbreaking case that could easily be sensationalized, so thank you for always treating the victims with the respect they deserve; this is why you are and will always be my favorite true crime channel. Cheers, Adrian!

I'm only up to what Robert did to the poor dog Axel and I'm both heartbroken and full of anger. Animal abuser, woman abuser and child abuser. This guy is the worst of the worst

Found your channel this earlier this week, subbed instantly, a well presented and documented crime stories. Keep up with the good work Adrian

Thank you, coffeehouse Crime!! You made the next vlog. Love watching!

The only difference between this guy and Chris Watts is that when Chris was interviewed by the media, he was trying his best to get emotional to win the sympathy of the people. While Robert was laughing and smiling throughout the interview. It can be because he was already drunk. But, Robert and Chris are just pure evil. May the victims rest in paradise and these guys, just rot in hell.

I know it is only a tiny act, but thank you, Adrian, for sharing her words in that facebook post she made. I REALLY needed to hear that right now, so even though she's not here anymore, I am sure she'd love to know that you did spread her message, and it did get out into the world.

I wonder if Leeming has killed before, getting away with it because his victim wasn't in such close contact with their family? He acts so comfortable with the aftermath of the video's murders, that it makes me wonder. The lure of romance and a place to live for a little rent would be a perfect rouse for a serial killer.

This is a weird aside to this tragic tale. Regarding “Correct.” I was in a lawsuit years ago and my attorney told me never to answer “yes” instead always say “correct.” To this day I still say “correct” if I’m answering an important question. I think he may have picked that up from his attorney, maybe from previous issues. edit: I’m sorry eligible for parole in 10 years? That is ridiculous he took two lives!

His speech was rather peculiar. At times he sounds perfectly Canadian, and perfectly British at others.

My aunt owns 3 cadaver search dogs. She said in her professional opinion Robert put the bacon in each spot her knew the cadaver dogs would alert on hoping that in court his lawyer would be able to argue that the dogs reacted to the BACON & not the scent of human decomposition. Laying bacon around hints to blood splatter or pooling. There would be blood in the drains & going r o the sewer from him cleaning up. He most likely also packed bacon in the drains.. If they are a really good lawyer they will argue that the composition of humans & pigs is so similar that advancements in medical science has been made by working with swine. For example, they have been transplanting pig heart valves into humans for decades. Robin Williams even famously joked about his for years saying he can no longer eat spam. Tattoo artists also learn by practicing on pig carcasses. Here in the states those arguments may or may not work depending on the judge

The biggest red flag when the cop asked him if they'd been in an argument recently, "yes, I guess - she told me she was leaving a few weeks ago". The most dangerous time for woman in a relationship is when she is leaving. Her chances of being murdered go wayyyyy up. This should have been the first clue.

you do sucha good job at describing and giving the victims dignity. I love your videos.

It usually begins with cruelty to animals, and ends up with them murdering a human. I'm sorry, but my opinion is that he's guilty.😖

I feel when you’ve been in an abusive relationship the worst thing you can do is date again. You attract even worse person, than the one you left. Take time to be with yourself. Keep your eyes open. We have a tendency to envision this life, then force our mind to believe this new person, fits in exactly and we close our eyes to red flags. Ask your family and friends their opinions. They are not emotionally involved and may notice the red flags. Be safe out there

Ah mate that little "correct correct correct correct correct correct correct" bit had me laughing sooo hard 😂😂😂

Man, I’m loving your channel. Very well done

This is literally in my neighborhood. I walk from the bus stop to my house and pass by that apartment complex. His interview with the media is a commercial complex with a Sobeys in it and I get my groceries there. I've never heard of this until today. Thank you for covering it.

It’s heartbreaking to hear him say in the interview „was“ and „were“… he knew they were gone… 😢

You do a great job with your channel in spite of the sometimes horrendous topics and subject matter.

Wait! What happened to Axel?! You can't tell me a dog was left in the woods to die without telling me what happened to the dog afterwards!

What a tragedy ... sorry for baby Aliyah and Jasmine !!! Robert deserves prison, he doesn't deserve any parole ... lock him up forever

As a Canadian, I want to sincerely apologize for the fact he could possibly walk free again in as little as ten years for this. It’s heart wrenching and I feel for jasmine’s family

Really enjoy how you deliver these stories. Just reading some comments who seem more upset about the dog than a beautiful baby and wife. I am a dog owner and love and care for him as he loves me but my heart goes first goes out to the baby and jasmine.

I'm impressed with the police work to solve this case. The undercover police deserve gold medals.

I like how you talk about the victims. Respectfully. Unlike many other true crime channels.. I really like how you said she wasn't just a mother. Women get often described just as "someone's mother/daughter/wife/grandma" etc etc.. Women and afabs are so much more than that. Thank you. As a childfree person I think about these things alot. Noticed it right away.

I love watching your videos. You put everything together so will. Your voice is so relaxing, if you had a video to help people fall asleep, I'd pay 😅

Simply, THANKYOU MATE, & it shone a light on your personality. I am also guilty of lining up a few cups of coffee and thoroughly enjoying your content. Cheers from Australa 👍

The real shocker here is that the police actually did something fairly quickly and followed up.

People look away when talking to others all the time, it’s normal. Reason why this happens is that it can be awkward just staring into somebody’s eyes non stop. Keeping constant eye contact can show that you’re serious, confident and sincere but it can often also be mistaken for intimidation and social awkwardness, hence why people often break eye contact when talking.

Great report very sad story

Cant believe he said "towards the end" to the news guy

Thank you for covering this! I'm from Calgary and I remember when Jasmine and her daughter went missing. I'm glad that more people will learn their story, and I hope that they will be remembered. So many cases from Canada are given so little coverage that many Canadians are unaware that someone has been murdered in their own city.

It just absolutely scares me to think I could have been one if these victims... Im thankful for my mom making me kick my abusive partner out after my brain surgery. I wasn't thinking clearly, but when he said he would knock me out... I kicked him out with family with me... this absolutely heartbreaking...RIP beautiful souls....

Love your videos, u have a great speaking voice !!

7:22 Found an article that the owner of the land where Robert abandoned his dog found the dog in a timely manner!

U could see robert had a problem keeping his composure. He also acted very strange when he was being interviewed the way he laughed, the way he answered questions. He would've gotten away with this, if the police hadn't come up with this brilliant plan to trick him. I believe sarah and her son could've fallen victim to him, if they hadn't gotten a divorce and split. RIP Jasmine, and little Aliyah.😇🙏

He really just wanted to kill somebody. There was nothing really holding them together. They were not married her babygirl was not his and she had family she and her daughter could have gone to. Absolutely just evil.

Imagine being so unintelligent that you'd murder someone then tell ANYONE a single detail.

Completely baffled by this case. I’ve lived in the south of Calgary my whole life, and as soon as you started naming where the case takes place I got nervous. Turns out this happened in the community next to mine.
