Crime Beat: A Prayer for Arcelie | S3 E20 

So disgusting that the person who found her first decided to keep quiet and go home. I hate people who turn their heads and pretend they saw nothing.

The first caller said she is at the church near Franklin street! Why didn’t they go there right away? Horrible

The police officer praying for her made me cry. What a beautiful gesture. I hope her family has found some peace in the intervening years

Can u believe not calling for help after seeing someone in that condition? How do u even go to sleep after? 😢. May her soul rest in peace. So heartbreaking.

First thing her friend says is "by the church" but that flies over their heads

Shame on that person for not ringing the police, always be aware of your surroundings and yell if someone is following you.

I wish she was found sooner, her friend did mention she was by a church. Where she was found, this is so disgusting she was working hard to provide for her family and a monster took that opportunity away from her and loved ones. RIP 😢

Too late or not, what a cowardly disgusting act, to leave someone in that horrific state and undressed in freezing cold!!!! ... you wouldn't even do that to an animal!!! Shame on you!!!!!! ... also officer basically excusing this person ... unbelievable!

Calling 911 is better than turning your back on someone who is already dying.

And 17 years later he won't quite be 40. Still plenty young and corrupt enough to do it again.

That person who didn't call the police. Just pray it never happens to your mother, daughter, sister etc!

Wow what a community, hat off 👏. Officer praying for her was such a beautiful gesture.

Some people may think im cruel but the person who just left her there should be absolutely DISGUSTED with themselves, what sort of person does that... UNFVCKINGBELIEVABLE R.I.P Beautiful Arcelie, you deserved so much better ❤️ 🕊

I mean come on. The caller literally told you she was by a church downtown, why would you not have thought to check that out first?

The first dispatcher was being rude. Better training is needed for those who answer calls from people likely experiencing the worst day of their life.

I just cried my Lord how much she suffered that her brother and sisters were unable to identify her. I can't imagine the feelings of what they're going through. This is ABSOLUTELY EVIL! I hope her kids are doing well and may God give her sons a lot of strength to carry this through out your lives and may he bless all of Arcelie family. RIP Arcelie

The incompetence of the 911 operator & Calgary PD from the beginning was completely inept. This is when interpreters are warranted. The horrific murder of this woman is in part due to both 911 practices & Calgary PD

Ok, I get that the person who saw her was scared, but seriously? You couldn't call the police once you were in a safe place?

It makes me angry to listen to how stupid these 911 answering people are! There should be more training and selection of the people who take these calls. People who can use critical THINKING ability. the callers were not native Canadians..... why not take their calls seriously and react with urgency to the information they were given in the beginning. One caller said....area where she worked...and near the CHURCH. Why ask more stupid questions before acting?

What a cruel world we live in.😫

This is so disturbing. Poor lady and all who love her.

So he literally killed this woman and the defense is saying this is second degree murder. Pathetic and as a lawyer you have no respect for human lives. Women should feel safe walking home at night without predators following them and kill them.

I get frustrated by the operators. Are really that ineffective? The woman might have been able to be saved after the first call.

This was just tragic all around 😥 RIP Arcelie 💜🙏

Im sorry but the Calgary police failed this poor hard working woman….. As a dispatcher, you have to note key words that the witnesses say.. the first 911 call stated that she’s near a CHURCH! Could’ve replayed the 911 call and got clues. and she takes the LRT so check around each station 🚉 this is so fcked up and I’m glad the family got justice. The fact that he’s eligible for parole in 2036 is disgusting

I don't know how lawyers can defend such criminals.

What a devastating story. Ass fellow Canadian (Ontario) I truly believe the only thing that MAY stop these types of misers is for the penalty for 1st degree murder be the same as the US with NO CHANCE OF PAROLE. PERIOD. 🙏🕊 Prayers for her family. 🤍

Please give update on the husband and kids! Also can you give tips on what a woman can do if being followed like this? RIP Arcelle this was a horrific attack and your story resonates in my heart forever esp the sacrifice you were doing for your children to have a better life! I will personally never forget you. 😥🌹🥰🙏

The operator.WOW!!!!!! Just ask where are you.If not track,ITS BY A CHURCH DOWNTOWN.USELESS

The thing I don’t get is , this lady was found by the church ⛪️ dead and on the first 911 call her friend said she was by the church down town when she called for help etc So why didn’t the cops go to the church down town in that area ?!

The first caller said at 8th near the church, is the police in Calgary stupid.

He should never get out of jail.

She had fought so hard for her life..just making the call.

The police failed this lady, the first call already said "church"

This poor girl and her family were just trying to make their lives better.How unfair can this scenerio be,this family will hopefully all become Canadian Citizens and make their parents dreams a reality.

I hope her family is able to come to Canada, as per their mom's dream. Bless the police who frantically searched for her and her workplace. Bless her family and friends, such a horrific experience. You can see the impact on the police, to this day.

Love this Program Being A Canadian brings it ALL closer to home. I have relatives living in Alberta including Calgary. All My Prayers an Blessings go to ALL THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS THIS IS SO VERY SAD.

I'm crying, this case was sooo sad 😭😭😭

The operator failed the woman. I hope he will carry the burden of carelessness for the rest of his life. How would he feel if that was his family member. Smh some people don’t care for other humans.

I wonder if she could have been saved if she called the police directly... Such a tragic and sad thing.

How is this 2nd degree murder..he stalked..raped and murdered her as she fought for her life.

How on earth can you kick someone to death!!!!! I’ll never believe this isn’t about sex, first and foremost. It’s definitely about anger, violence and sex but it annoys me when people say it’s not about sex but power. Usually it’s men that say that, ask a woman who has survived this disgusting act, some even apologise so what’s that about?

Some defence lawyers are just despicable

So scary to remember such evil people exists. Heart breaking 💔.

Amazingly sad! Thanks Calgary’s police officer for bringing justice for Arcely!

I remember this case. It’s so hard to understand God plan. This beautiful hard working woman was subject to a terrifying and horrendous death … what did she ever do to deserve that… nothing at all, I just despair I really do. I don’t understand, I believe in God but I don’t understand at all. Makes me so so sad and confused.

Near the church no patrol went to that area how fkin stupid was that? the woman who called said downtown near church.

Arcelie's first female friend who rung 911 SAID 'by a chuch' and noone listened😓 what a bunch of keystone cops😂 RIP Arcelie peace and harmony to your family and friends❤ i hate listening to cops justify their idiotic non communication of information and then justify their actions after the fact ... just WOW👎

As a Filipina working abroad this makes me sad. She already suffered the homesickness for being away from home, away from her kids and family. Then this happened. I can't imagine the pain she suffered in the hands of this monster. RIP Arcelie.

Ridiculous to imagine that the first frantic call required clarification, these are people panicking, if they acted straight away and did not wait for her calling them, she could be still alive by now..

I can’t imagine what it was like for the woman to discover Arcelie’s body

RIP Arcelie. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #Justice

Now this shows it doesn't matter what the woman wears or what the woman does. Arcelie was bundled up, and mind her own business, and she was still sexual assaulted and murdered. It's on the person aka man's disregard of the woman's humanity that he attacks.

Wow. The community and her former workplace didn't have to do that but they went out of their way to help Arcelie's sons. Thank you to each & every person who helped. To the Calgary Police, thank you for not treating this case differently & for all your hard work~!

The callers told the dispatcher she was on 8th street by the church!!? He’s phoning the victim to say call and let me know where your at after being told she’s being raped and murdered?? I’m so frustrated watching this

Was it first degree murder or second degree? Even asking this question is not ok. Clearly he's guilty of first degree murder. If he had a proper sentence for his previous crimes, she would still be alive. He was aided along..

Stupid 911 operator. Why can he just dispatch officer whoever is near the area where the 1st caller said "downtown near church", 2nd caller "downtown 8th Avenue". Hello!!! the attack is in progress. Police should be alert and vigilant, they will just arrive after all the incident is done. Of course, don't expect an alive victim. And the first witness who saw her in that condition is just no compassion with other people. What's happening in the world right now? Sad. 😢😔 RIP Arcelie. 😔🙏

What I now want to know is how are the kids and husband doing?

Sad story for all involved. How can they release this evil person. All the trauma and hard work involved to see him release to society really needs RECONSIDERED Australia 💕 Christina

That person that did not phoned is also a murderer what the hell is going on with humans with demon hearts

When there is evil, there is always goodness. This was especially emotional.

So sad 😞 may she Rest In Peace 🕊

We can only now pray hope and wish he gets it much worse in pc jail . That poor girl may you rest in peace ❤

I remember this story and this is absolutely horrible this disgusting excuse for a human being and that operater although i know so innocent really hit a nerve listening to the vm he was leaving her

The police were just too slow

OMG, onset of the first call, the 2nd party caller said that it was in church, so the dispatcher did not take note of that information?

The town of Ajax just east of Toronto has really changed. We now have a Hello homeless community with a number of women and men that are dealing with untreated mental illness and the disease of drug addiction. There’s a man in a red car. He’s a black man apparently raping the homeless women as they sleep outside. For a woman who has an addiction that doesn’t sleep for 5,6,7 days and they finally go to sleep. It’s like they’re in a coma and then they finally wake up after they’ve been raped, it’s so sad. So sad. It’s not safe to walk around anymore at night at all. I don’t even think it’s safe in the daytime, but it’s heartbreaking to see women that are younger than myself and they look much older than I am. Meanwhile, the services are lacking for mental illness and addiction. So it’s really a hopeless situation. it’s very very sad to see, but for the grace of God go I!

Newcomers to Canada need to be taught 911 because it seems at least 2 of them didn’t know that number. As for the ‘scared’ person who went home, why didn’t you at least call police when you got home! Disgraceful excuse for a human.

I think the 911 operators and cops incompetent they should have known the callers explained it to them. She would have died from the assault and hypothermia so sad. Going here and there but not the right place.

So sad can’t help but to cry heartbreaking.

The police officer praying for her God bless him.

unbelievable! how could the 911 operator not relay the message to the police???? he was cold and indifferent to the person making the report! he should have been charged with accessory to murder!!!

The male caller clearly told the 911 operator that she was along 8th Avenue and also they were given the information that the location was by a church! Surely they could have search all the churches along the 8th Avenue ??

Two locations 8th avenue,near church, downtown, nobody finds her, hours searching ,the man calling guite clear.

Your program crime beat,a good program and the way the narrative was done is perfect,keep up tho good work,more subscribers,God bless y'all❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a sad and heart breaking story I hope god gives them good life for her family in the future god’s bless you

35:45 didnt she feel fishy that someone is walking behind so closely...it would be better if she stay in with other group of ppl who were there at the station before exiting out...

Thanks alot

How can this defence lawyer look in the mirror and live with himself???!!

Great coverage

So traumatic. RIP Arcelie.

I could see the officer's disappointment they couldn't get to her on time and the family thanking them doesn't make them feel heroic

The first caller said the Church 🤦🏻‍♀️ Doesn't anyone listen!!

I live half my life in the Philippines and the other half in Calgary. I remember this happening at the time. Most Filipinos I ever encounter whether in Canada or in the Philippines are very gentle nice people. Ralph Klein said it best. A true Albertan knows what he meant.

😢its too far to walk that distance from work to her home.there is all kind of sick wicked people out there in the street. I watched the video it seems like it a long ways home.

I hope it is my imagination that a lot of the Crime Beat episodes seem to be in Calgary.

2 major scumbags in this case. One from the Ochapowace indian reserve in Saskatchewan, the other who did nothing while a person lay dying. And they're called humans. As well as the defense attorney....

How come the officer who was told the victim said she was downtown near a church, did not go near there that night ? Still the Police did a good job looking for her that night. With today's technology, the police would be able to locate churches around downtown, quickly .

The police where told by the guy friend the " CHURCH " !!! I was screaming at my ph church go to the church! The police looked but NOT where she told them.

How was she able to make the phone call.

Shame on that person who Just walked away and did absolutely nothing! May fate be kind to you

🌹🌹🌹🙏😥 "Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."

Look at the devil's face....

Wtf why didn’t that person call the cops, I’m so mad

Someone saw her and didn’t help - no excuse at all. None 🤯🤬

So generous and thoughtful of canadians....great nation!

In the Philippines we don't have 911. In case of emergency we usually call friends or family. Maybe this is the reason why she called her friends. She was not in the state of mind and the first thingshe did was to called her friends. She forgot she's in a 1st world country. May she rest in peace.

Seriously... Looking everywhere 😢

sometimes I'm glad monsters are stupid. he might as well have left his ID at the crime scene.

It makes me sick to my stomach to hear the opperator it was explained enough RIP and kindness to her family
