Crime Beat: Obsessed - The Story of Nadia El-Dib | S3 E24 

What I love about Crime Beat is that you focus on the people who have been taken from their families, and on the families, not on the murderers. That's how it should be. Thank you for handling all of these cases so delicately.

As a mother of two young men I urge parents to monitor the behaviour of their sons towards women, all women. My sons are very aware of how to behave towards women and regularly call out their friends if their behaviour is poor. A few years ago at my son’s 17th birthday a drunk girl was wanting to hook up with someone from the party. One of my son’s friends came in to tell me that the boys were steering clear of her as they didn’t want to take advantage of her. I ended up taking the girl home and was proud that my son and his friends looked out for their female friend. Get involved in your young persons life, and make them accountable if they make mistakes. Much love to Nadia’s family 💕

I was jumped by 5 attackers, for over an hour, they made a shit ton of noise as they jumped up and down on my 14 year old body of 5'8 , 110 lbs. Including my skull. Soccer ball kicks to my face and head. Biting me, laughing and hollering. I was in a park that was surrounded on all sides by houses. Less than 100 ft away, a group of 10 people were on their patio. Not one call to 911 was recorded. Yet when the cops finally become involved, 32 people mentioned hearing my attackers, and then a girl yelling "All of you get off of me, let me go, why are you doing this, STOP!" ..... That was me. I would have died if not for one boy seeing me stumbling around. 1 block from my house, but no idea where I was. But he didn't recognize me, per say.... He had seen me earlier wearing beige shoes, light blue jeans and a white shirt with a tiny logo. They were all bright red and dripping, as well as my hair. It was the logo that caught his eye. My own Grandmother looked at me in the ER, then asked the nurse "can you tell me where my granddaughter is" when the nurse pointed to me, the look on her face was my first indication of just how bad it was. It's one of the last things I remember. I can not understand how people can hear or see something, that just doesn't feel right, but then do NOTHING. I desperately needed help, I was a 14 year old girl surrounded by adults and families with kids, yet not one person came to my aid nor called the police. Until my friend, 'M' .... he had been watching a movie but thought he heard something odd so he paused and listened. When he heard it again, he went outside to try to figure out where the noise was coming from and what it was .... 'M' .. bravest boy I've ever known, was only just 15. . . I beg of you, everyone, if you see something, hear something .... SAY SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING!

It's terrible that neighbors heard a woman screaming and gunshots, but didn't call the police, horrible people. Those cops risked their life's big time to get the killer, they are brave souls. Nadia, you are now in a better place. Thanxs for this great report.

Omg her father is so unbelievably sweet. Unreal. What a kind, loving man. He supported his daughter wanting to do makeup, wanting to be whatever she wanted. How loving and sweet. And he cares so much about the police officers too. His remaining daughters are lucky to have him.

This was a heavy episode; the emotion was palpable. Thank you to Nadia’s family for sharing their story and letting us see a glimpse into their beautiful Nadia and who she was. Also, thank you to all the brave police officers that put their lives on the line 💙

I knew Nadia, and I know her sister Racha. Nadia was such a beautiful person, and it's tragic that she passed away at a young age and in such a horrific manner. May she Rest in Peace ❤

This, now this, is what you call heroic. The fact that these cops sacrificed their well being to trace down a killer, and even when the commander got shot, the cops stepped forward, and made sure that they did everything, in the midst of shots being fired - wow. That’s what you call heroes. I can’t begin to imagine what Nadia’s family are going through, as I pray that God gives them patience and the endurance to live on with their daughter’s and sister’s memories. It’s hard. But a part of me wishes that the cops acted quick when the school shooting began in Texas elementary school. My heart truly breaks for each and everyone one of them. Sending my prayers to everyone affected.

Nadia’s father crying just broke me 🥺🥺

My heart breaks for Nadia, for her family, and for these broken officers. Their pain is raw and obvious.

The father's pain cut right through my heart. God bless all involved in this senseless killing.

Most abusers are narcissists and sociopaths. Like her sister said know the red flags. They always come on as prince or princess charming.

Those “friends” are not the sharpest tools in the box. That poor young woman reached out to them in distress and yet it never occurred to either of them to call the police?! Poor Nadia, may her bright and beautiful soul rest in peace 💔

Neighbors be nosey any other time but don’t call the police when you hear screaming

Nadia’s father is such a beautiful human being. He just seems to have so much love for his family.

Well done Crime Beat - no bullshit, no fluff, just right to the story, details and all. The emotions were there and it locks the viewer into this senseless incident. I hope peace can come to all involved. Well done reporting Crime Beat.

What a shame, I hate the fact that someone can just take your life away from you & your family for no reason, such a sad loss, rip to her & prayers to her family & friends, thank you crime beat

Nadia was so unlucky to cross paths with this monster. The humanity and bravery of these police officers is truly riveting

The part about Nadia's story saving someone's life 😭😭😭 the pain in Nadia's dads eyes,that broke me. For anyone that is in an abusive relationship, I'm praying for you❤

This was so sad...I really wish evil didn't exist...

This kid's jealousy reminds me so much of a junior high kid who can't cope with the rejection so he throws a full blown temper tantrum and murders the girl he claims he loves. It's extremely child-like to believe you can physically force someone to "be with you."

Another young 'man' who did not understand the concept of 'No' ? When will people wake up to the fact that You Can say 'No' to your kids and tell them 'Why' You are saying 'No',don't just leave them hanging without an explanation ?

Thank you, to this brave amazing officer for speaking so candidly of your struggles with PTSD. I know the feeling. Such a sad story.

So very heartbreaking. Such a beautiful woman. May Nadia rest peacefully. May the El-Dib family find healing. Thanking the RCMP officers for their commitment and service. 🙏🏾

My heart goes out to the family and to the brave RCMP officers. Such a tragic, needless loss of such a beautiful human being. ❤️❤️

Oh, man! That was emotional! Nadia was a beautiful woman, and she had a beautiful family that loved her, and she loved them, too! Then, the whole other story about the brave officers! OMG! My son is a California Highway Patrol Officer, and I get emotional seeing stories like this. It shows what real men are made of…brave enough to catch a bad guy amongst flying bullets, and brave enough to show emotion to the world.

She met a guy she thought was nice,but then she realized he's obsessive possessive (a true psychopath) tried to leave,but true to what he was he stabbed and shot her,true overkill as she became a possession to him and no longer a person. RIP Nadia,you were taken too soon.🙏✝️

This story absolutely demolished my heart. I feel so much pain for everyone affected by this senseless crime 💔💔💔.

Those people that have a dislike/hatred for the police and those in law enforcement should watch this. These gentlemen took bullets to try and bring an innocent victims murderer to justice. These people put their lives on the line every time they put on their badge and leave their loved ones at home to serve you. To these officers and all police past, present and future, *THANK YOU*

Idk if it’s because we can now reach people in seconds and know where another person is at all times but I’m hearing of more and more situations of partners acting his like this killer did. I’ve had it happen myself where someone I was getting to know would freak out when I didn’t answer right away. There is something very very wrong with that. Please break contact with them at the very beginning if you see this behaviour. It will only get worse. This case is so very sad. Everyone involved here (except the killer of course) were/are wonderful people that deserved so much better. Shows you just how wonderful when you see them care about how the others are doing. We lost a great women in Nadia, I hope her family find happiness again They deserve it. And I hope the brave RCMP officers heal both physically and emotionally Well done boys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ♥️🇨🇦

What a heartbreaking story. The poor family having to deal with the grief. I cannot imagine! God Bless the RCMP who responded! And also Nadia’s family.

Brave officers. We salute you, acknowledge, and thank you for your service. And to Nadia's family, I am sorry for your loss. Unimaginable loss❤.

May Nadia’s soul Rest In Peace and may her family find peace. Such a beautiful soul gone too soon.

The father's sadness kept me in tears pretty much the whole episode....her sister is such an amazing young lady. She'll represent her sisters memory very well.......the officers are absolute heroes! I'm glad that pos is no longer with us, but I also feel bad that the family didn't really get justice. Just a horrible story all around.

Crime Beat makes incredibly awesome documentaries about these real life tragedies and unfortunate situations. The people able to speak about their tragedies are very incredible as well.

What she first saw in him i don't know, she's beautiful and he looks like a creepy weenie. Poor girl and her family, my heart goes out to them

This story (among SO many others) is just another example of how police need to start acting pre-emptively to stop these obsessive maniac controlling men from escalating to murder. There are ALWAYS warning signs in the early stages, these men have a history and a pattern.

This episode got me emotionally, such a brave lady and brave officers. My heart goes out to the family of such an amazing person.

What an amazing father. My heart goes out to him and his wife and the daughters. The father really touched my heart…such a beautiful soul.🙏🏼

What a wonderful, beautiful, and strong family Nadia has! I can only hope her papa (and the rest of her family)can one day feel at peace once again.

Once you break up you don't have to go out with them..get into their cars...you may be kind and trusting but it'll Not help if the other person feels you owe them or own you... horrible evil things hide under human masks...women need to smarten up...as these evil ppl are getting more cunning everyday

Near the end when Nadia's dad said he was contacted by a woman who was in a bad relationship with her boyfriend, she told him that she wanted him to know that Nadia saved her life, that was heart wrenching. The tears in his eyes and the emotion on his face, made me well up. I hope Nadia's family can find some peace in their lives.

Off topic but a request for crime beat. Would love to see a doc on the "babes in the woods case" the two kids skulls found in Stanley park in Vancouver.

Kudos and absolute appreciation for what you all do every day to protect all of us.....thank you. This is absolutely horrible. In a very sick minded world, we're blessed by heroes in blue. Or any other color uniform.

no one called police??? wow p.s. Don't date adult men still living with their mother.

What’s with all the EVILNESS in the world! These men are just murdering women if they dare say NO! Did people become more evil while they had to be around themselves during the Pandemic. If they don’t want their company, why would others want their company! RIP beautiful young lady!

Dear God what a horrifying experience. Just listening gives me ptsd. POLICE DESERVE SO MUCH RESPECT! THOSE OFFICERS ARE OUTSTANDING. Im so happy they survived the unimaginable! Nadia has a legacy. a message to all people. Men also. I have been with that kind of man and barely made it out alive. It was terrifying. GOD BLESS ALL THE OFFICERS! LOVED ONES OF NADIA! ❤️

People (especially law-enforcement officers) should be taught how to recognise narcissistic-sociopathic behaviour so the warning signs are noticed before they acquire weapons of any kind!

For the Sgt that was shot in the head, and for the fellow officers who ran to pull him to safety, and render aid till the Ambulance came....That just goes to show you the kind of boss he is, and what those officers think of him. Yes, it's part of the job, but also it's in OUR human nature to run and help, when you know a good man's life is on the line. I feel so bad for this family. For losing a daughter to an evil monster. She is dancing with the Angels while he's rotting in hell.

She was so beautiful. I wonder what she seen in him. Prayers to her family.

Crime Beat represents Canadian families heartache and fight! Nadia you were a wonderful woman who deserved a life of happiness and from another Canadian I’m so sorry 😞 RIP

Thank you, officers….. may the family finds comfort.

I always say, you just never know who you'll meet in life. Some friends are good and some are evil.. RIP beautiful angel. My sympathy goes out to the family..

Adam was a criminal not even obsessed with Nadia but obsessed with evil self!!! RIP Nadia. Sending love to Nadia’s dad & family ❤

When I saw her i immediately knew she was Lebanese, she looks like a famous Lebanese tv host. As for the guy i immediately knew he is from north Africa, he has the facial features of people from there. Poor lady, her dad is indeed amazing, the look in his eyes, we can tell his heart is broken, may Jesus be with him

Thank you very much For all your words and support God bless you all 🙏

What a sad story. Thank you to Nadia's family for sharing their story. I really liked Sami's message where a lady contacted him and said Nadia saved her life. That touched my heart. Thank you to the RCMP officers who risked their life to get that lunatic off the streets.

I wouldn't say Adam was obsessed with Nadia -- he expected to be able to control her. He thought it was his right.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments from my family and I ❤️

I lived in the area in Calgary in 2014 and I remember it being a tough neighborhood compared to others. Condolences to the family 😢

I just wanted to send my condolences to Nadia's family.She was a beautiful girl that left this world far to soon cause she had so much promise for the future,you could see what a positive influence she had on everyone's life she touched. Thank you to the R.C.M.P. officers that put their life on the line to take down this sick,demented individual and make sure he never had the chance to do this to another woman ever again.

Unfortunately this is what the world is coming too! This is happening more and more because too many parents never tell their kids NO... Then when they grow up and hear the word NO, they don't know how to handle it!!! Rejection is part of life, no we don't like it but it's a lesson that soooooo many kids need!!!! We need to do better for the next generation!!!!

Nadia seemed like such an incredible and beautiful person inside and out. with her ideals and passion for the rights of marginalized people imagine how many more amazing things she would have done, how many lives she would have touched. rip to an angel who didn't deserve what happened to her and may her soul be at peace. 💔

I’m so sorry Racha. What a terrible experience that must have been going to look for your little sister. You were a good sister to Nadia ❤️❤️ beautiful family. She looked so much like her daddy. The bravery of the police work is amazing. Love cpl Brandon’s Nova Scotian accent (I think that’s what it is). And wonderful that sgt topham survived.

Ladies we have to look out for one another. If something does not seem right call the police. If you hear a woman screaming something is not right.Make an anonymous call if you feel safer but don’t just ignore it. It could be the difference between life or death.

Really hard not to cry why towards the end. It's heart braking seeing just how much pain stupidity can cause.

wow you hear gunshots and screams and don't ring the police ... the neighbours should be ashamed of themselves. RIP beautiful Nadia. God bless her sweet Dad, he is a broken man 💔

I am so sorry for your loss. R.I.P Nadia. As a Calgarian this was so hard to watch. I pray for healing for this family. ❤️❤️❤️

Nadia was so, so beautiful, her family seems to be good people, my heart goes out to them.

I remember listening the news while I was driving back then. Wow... hats off to those officers!

This is THE best crime series I have ever watched.... Loving it!!

Our love and our prayers go to all involved - There, but by the Grace of God do we go - From our Blue family in New Zealand to yours. To Nadia's dad - look out for the butterfly Sir - your daughter is always around you.

Respect to Canadian forces boss! You serve with honor, dignity, and display bravery in the face of danger. What a credit you are. Peace and blessings to all good people all over the world.

RIP Nadia 💔 Her poor family 🥺 Harrowing experience for those officers. My god. Bless their hearts.

Nadia was absolutely gorgeous!! Praying 🙏 for her family and friends. RIP beautiful angel 😇

I feel sorry for the family. May God give them the peace & comfort knowing that Nadia is already in God's loving arms. 🌷💗🙏

The neighbors who didn't have enough humanity to call the police are a disgrace and subhuman.

Crimbeat has me sobbing once again. RIP beautiful Nadia

This was heartbreaking. Nadia was so young and had lots more to do in her life.

My heart goes out to Nadia's family and much respect,pride n love to those cops man. Unbelievable how 1 little punk with his bs insecurities can cause so much heartache and trauma to so many ppl.

This makes me want to be done with my situation even tho I don't have family or friends I care about me and my son and I dnt want to keep missing the chances to get away and live.

Amazing job on this 👏 🙌 👌 This is REALLY close to where I live, and I have never heard of this horrible crime 😔 Incredible work by the RCMP!

So the whole time he was up north, he was stewing, planning what he was going to do to this beautiful young lady. All because he's an insecure, sniveling, little boy with anger and mommy issues, who can't handle rejection. It is scary, a simple couple dates with the wrong person can sign your death warrant. Even if she would have stayed his girlfriend, he would have been abusive and violent with her, increasing in violence until she couldn't take it anymore, and tried to leave. Either way, she would have lost her life. It's scary, a random meeting with the wrong person can change your life, or end it, one way or another. I'm so proud of this young lady. She understood her self-worth, recognized his controlling nature, listened to her gut instinct, and stood up for herself. Ladies, AND gentlemen, if your gut instinct is sending you warnings about someone, please listen to it. Crazy is so not worth the strife it brings to your life. It's not cute, and they never change. And it's definitely NOT worth losing your life. Nadia did everything right...except ever putting herself alone with that monster ever again. She could not have known the seriousness of just how sick he actually was. But they are wrong. He got the justice he deserved. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. That's how it's supposed to be. Rest in Peace, beautiful Nadia...🌷😔🌷🙏🌷

Without taking away from the pain of those that have experienced police violence, this just says what dedicated police put on the line to serve their communities. Oh and poor Nadia's family. What pain they have. What a life sentence.. So unfair

🇨🇦Born and raised a Calgarian, this tragedy is absolutely gut wrenching and makes me feel ill. I remember hearing about this and I’m only now finding out about the whole story, knowing that this family has been suffering, in my city!, and I’ve driven up that way occasionally too,,,it’s just sickening that it’s literally in our backyards everywhere across North America and the world for that fact. we’ve had a couple of very deeply sad murders in our city, the Brentwood 5 come to mind, and I grew up in that neighbourhood,,, went to the elementary school just blocks from the house where the son of a Calgary Police Officer had a mental break down and bludgeoned five of his University friends to death all within a matter of minutes… all after spending hours with them and a fun evening of laughter and song and having a campfire in the backyard. It just proves it doesn’t matter what part of town you live in, these things can, and do happen,,, that’s why you have to be so very, very careful in our world today. I’m a young 50 (something) gal, and it’s truly such an entirely different world that our kids grow up and today compared to what I did or even those that followed shortly after me. Let’s take better care of each other, and when we do it I don’t care what age it is, have your friends chime in, have people that I’ve known you a long time spend a little time with them and tell you what they honestly think about that person! I wouldn’t give anybody five minutes of my time if they had no interest in meeting the important people in my life in order to progress in our relationship! I came upon this story because I love researching and watching true crime. Mostly because I love to see how investigators and family put the dots together and “catch” the perpetrators-before they kill someone else. But that’s not always the case and there are times like this where law enforcement and sometimes bystanders get hurt in the process. Like one of my favourite true crime utuber Annie from “10 To Life” says, if you see something, say something, if you hear something, say something! If I had heard screaming and potentially gunshots I definitely would’ve called the police, and I’m sure my neighbours would too. That would be so hard to have on your conscience, though, from what they did to this beautiful young gal, I don’t know if they would’ve been able to rescue her in time😥 Sending my hugs and prayers to the family specially the father, and the mother, whom we didn’t even see interviewed because I’m sure she’s too distraught, so I send her my love, hugs and prayers that one day our maker will somehow heal her heart, even if just a little bit🙏🏻 To CPS, depending on how involved you were with this case your suffering will be very different and unique to you, I pray for calmness and the ability to continue fighting for our cities safety, make sure you use the benefits that you are blessed with so you can talk to a professional, and work through your individual trauma….🕊🇨🇦🙏🏻🕊

I call the cops when I heard my neighbors fighting , listening to them fight was scary

Holy Shit... I live very near where this all happened. I didn't live here when it happened though. Though its nice to know that RCMP officers like this are on duty where I live!!!

Humans are not property. No one should be considered as “belonging to” anyone. The problem is that humans can be quite possessive of one another, and those who can’t cope with rejection end up taking the lives of the ones they cannot have/control/own. Though it mostly seems like a male problem, females can also be guilty of the same behavior. It’s important to recognize the signs of someone like that, make a clean break and STICK TO IT. Going back to them again and then leaving again, trying to remain friends, or trying to reconcile will only get you killed. Get a restraining order, and never go anywhere alone. Don’t post your entire life on social media where they can follow your every move. Carry pepper spray and/or a taser. It doesn’t matter if it’s illegal where you live or not, it’s better to get a citation for carrying it than ending up dead. You have to rely on yourself to save yourself. The police are often ineffective in these kinds of cases and can’t/won’t act until there’s a dead body involved.

Finally a new one. Thanks 🙏🏼❤️

Thank you to these officers for getting a dangerous man off the streets. Glad you both survived and recovered. Condolences to Nadia’s family and friends. Her loss is so heartbreaking for them. 💔

Wow. What an incredible family she came from. This is very tragic to lose someone as special as Nadia. I'm very sorry this happened to Nadia, her family and friends.

Such a senseless tragedy, she had her whole life ahead of her. may Allah have mercy on her and grant her family patience💔

The RCMP are the real heroes. CBTV thank you for a fantastic video!

Nadia🙏🙏❤️❤️ Senseless murder on a woman who was going to contribute so much to society, gorgrous, smart, and Loving. Prayers to her beautiful family 🙏💞

Algerian people are well known of their short temper.

My heart hurts for this family, especially her dad, who CLEARLY thought the world of Nadia. I lived with DV for 7yrs there is no understanding people like that, they are just not normal in the head and unfortunately people like that can't be helped, they WILL abuse/control every spouse/love interest they ever have and anyone in this situation needs to RUN at the very first sign of this sort of behaviour because it only gets worse not better and NO amount of showing them how much you love them or thinking that you can "fix" them will EVER make them "better", they can't be fixed EVER. Look for the signs of coercive control early, simple things you might pass off as "cute" like them always ringing you whenever your not together to see where you are "because they care", telling you not to wear certain types of clothes because they don't want other guys looking you, telling you any male friends you have really are just trying to sleep with you, waiting outside of your work or school until your finished etc etc, many young ladies pass these behaviours off at first as "cute" or because "they care so much about me and my safety"..... no, this is 100% unequivocally the start of coercive control behaviour which other forms of abuse will soon follow, DON'T put up with, end things IMMEDIATELY before its too late, i TRULY believe the more educated women are on the signs to look out for the better the chances are of women being able to get away before it becomes physical but ultimately until more is done to raise BOYS into men that respect women and know that ALL forms of abuse is wrong, until this happens nothing much will change and all we can do as females is to try and look for those signs and walk away the moment we aren't being treated EXACTLY how we should be treated. R.I.P beautiful Nadia, you will never be forgotten ❤️ 🕊

It was so touching to hear about beautiful Nadia and her beautiful family. Words can't describe the bravery of the RCMP officers. When Nadia's family came together with those officers, it put a huge lump in my throat.

WHAT WAS SHE DOIN' WITH HIM, HE OBVIOUSLY WASN'T A NICE PERSON & HIS LOOKS. . . WELL THEY DO SAY BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. 🤔

The people of Canada are very fortunate to have brave cops like those involved in this case. I wish I could say the same about the police force from Uvalde, Texas. Maybe, our Governor Abbot should look into Canada’s police training and apply it to his own police department.
