Her Tinder Stalker Ex Stabbed her 75 times... | The Horrific Murder of Molly McLaren 

Based on these documentaries, people who "light up the room" or "make everyone's day" are extremely high risk to be victims of murder.

She’s being stalked, threatened and scared of his behavior, shows up at the restaurant yet her friends didn’t walk her home?!… unbelievable

After dealing with multiple toxic people in my life; both family and personal relationships, I’ve learned a lot…one at the top of the list, is to keep the details of your life, completely private!! Never disclose any of your plans or whereabouts to anyone you do not trying! And by all means, NEVER post your life details online for the world to see. You are just inviting trouble into your life. Some people do this today, to make the other person jealous; without thinking of the terrible consequences it can have. Stalkers are extremely unhinged and this is often the tragic result. What a monster!

Stabbing her 75 times is absolutely insane. The amount of force and anger needed to stab her that many times is crazy. He can rot.

This "other girl" who reported back to Joshua, about Molly's whereabouts, should be charged too.

I've always told people that social media should always be talking about the past not the future. "I went here last night" Rather than "I'm going here tonight" I'm by no means victim blaming, but you have to be careful what you put out there. You never know who's watching.

Never tell someone not to worry when they are dealing with a psychopath. That's oxymoronic.

I think that anyone convicted of offenses like domestic violence, coercive control, stalking or fraud, should have to register (like a sex offender), and we should be able to check it when we are entering into a new relationship. There are so many people injured, traumatized or killed by someone who had had police complaints, previous charges, even prison time, and enter into new relationships with people who have no idea. At least if we know, we can make an informed decision whether or not to date them.

I’m disgusted at how the police thought calling him and asking him to remove social media posts constituted an investigation. Had they even done the bare minimum they would have found he had been reported before for disturbing and threatening behavior towards a woman. Blood is on their hands.

The lesson is when your dear loved one is being harassed and threatened you Don't let them be alone even in public. They need witnesses and support.

It's so sad. RIP Molly. All the red signs for intimate partner violence and mental health as well as stalking in a relationship should be taught in schools at early ages.

I was stalked and threatened with death. I believed it then and more now. I had a friend who was a police officer who escorted me onto a plane and got me out of the country. This saved my life.

Regardless of social media posts, he was a lunatic and he would have stalked her and killed her regardless. He was insane enough to stab her 75 times in public broad daylight?? Whether her friends had been with her not, if he’s THAT crazy he’d have absolutely attacked them too. He tricked her into falling for him, showing where she lived, he would have found her no matter what. It is absolutely TRAGIC and the only person at fault is HIM. Not her friends, not social media posts, not Molly. Just please be careful with these dating apps.

I watched this and broke down crying. Her story is literally the same as mine. Thankfully....I had a dad that handled him. I know how much fear she felt.

And nobody came to help when she said she was all alone with him at the gym. Great friends! Telling her to leave the gym is the baddest advice ever.

Also if you are dealing with someone like this blocking them isnt enough. Delete all your media accounts change phone number and move house temporarily. Death threats are not to be fucked about with. Speaking from experience I had to move country because of my abuser and stayed under the radar for 6 years and I still feel hes watching me sometimes

We need stricter laws against stalkers. Why does this take so long? So many years later and very little change.

I want to hear from the girl that agreed to relay information to him. Why did she think that was ok and HOW did he convince her to do it?!

27:25.....WHAT?! Why would her friends think letting her walk alone at night, knowing a violent stalker has been threatening her, is a good idea at all?!! They literally said, they watched her leave, and they stayed to have more drinks, and none of them had a second thought about it! I just don't understand their way of thinking?!

This is why I don’t give people too many chances…you see red flags ….RUN!

As a victim of stalking, it saved my ass being so aware of my surroundings also Keep your car doors locked while parked or stopped. I parked at a bar a minute later in my side mirror I see a guy and girl walk up both sides of my car and tried to open back doors but was locked still 😭🙏 they walked away. Had a rough life but made me tough baby

It angers me to no end when you can't do basic things like enjoy a dinner, go to the gym, do groceries and go to class, have something bad happen to you and people are like "Well wrong place, wrong time" or "You shouldn't have said you were going to the gym on facebook". Why can't we blame the murdering stalker a$$hole for being where they shouldn't? Why can't we have a system where if someone who has a serious stalking history and is known to the police have some sort of check in program with probation or something. I really don't know the best answer but literally anything is better than a "we'll tell him to leave you alone and best of luck to you" approach from the police.

Heartbroken!! I'm a Dad, and despite how wonderful growing-up should be, the future for my two beloved daughters fills me with dread.

"He was known to the police" but when she originally came to report his behaviour they simply make a phone call ASKING him to stop? This seems to be a severe case of police negligence.

I feel like this video needs to be shared with every single high school and college student as something mandatory that needs to be watched every year. This is exactly why you should not post where you are and what you’re doing on social media. It’s definitely a huge cautionary tale.

Tinder is a predator app. Not a dating app.

Stabbing anyone is as personal as it gets. To stab someone 75 times is not only overkill but its downright psychotic. Rest in Peace Molly 🙏🏾❤️😢

“Don’t worry about him he’s a psycho” what a good reason not to worry

There is too much victim-blaming and not enough rage for the murderous stalker for me.

Got stalked for decades until my stalker died of cancer. Only then I stopped looking over my shoulder or scanning restaurant tables to make sure he wasn't sitting somewhere watching me.

That’s a huge problem with posting your locations on Facebook. Even things as simple as posting when you’re on holiday will let people know you’re not at home.. I don’t know why everyone has to mark their locations to the world

Molly has a crazy ex boyfriend who had abused her on social media, threatened her, and stalked her, and she thought it was a good idea to continue posting about her whereabouts. Awareness and self preservation should be taught in school.

Nothing is ever a coincidence. Always think like an investigator.

I had an stalker during my university back in the days nothing could be done. I moved twice cities and yet he managed to find me somehow, this is way before any social media on internet. I am glad that now I am careful to who I meet and do a proper investigation before meeting any man and during dating. People are sick mentally and emotionally and you never know when you’ll get one. Just be more aware who you get closed to.

This woman giving him info on Molly's movements should face charges.

I’m in no way blaming her but young people please stop posting your location! It’s way to many sick people in this world

I cried when Molly’s parents received her diploma. Heartbreaking.

I learned to never post where I am until I'm gone ...rest easy Molly ..great channel

None of her friends thought it necessary to walk with her after she left the pub? That’s wild. I don’t want to place blame or guilt on the friends but if I knew a friend or family member was in her position, there’s no way they’d be leaving that pub alone. If anything, we’d be leaving the moment we saw him. This poor girl. I hope her spirit is at rest.

What kind of friends know she has a stalker but don't walk w her to make sure she is safe? Why didn't she IMMEDIATELY lock the doors KNOWING SHE HAS A STALKER

Women! Please, as soon as you get in the car, LOCK THE DOORS! If you must roll the windows down, wait till you are out on the road. The time between getting in the car and starting the engine and engaging the transmission is a very big danger window. You can't run and you are hidden from the view of passers by.

I like the narrator voice, very well calibrated the entire time. Professional with empathy. Brilliant.

When someone is unstable you delete your social media! Don't share anything private online!

If you have problems, finding someone with problems is not a good match. The balance is that someone stable will help the other weaker to get better.

Taking an ex back is even worse than dating itself.

I ended a tumultuous, abusive two year relationship and my ex showed up to my house drunk once after. Immediately filed a restraining order. Best decision of my life. Always play it safe. People are ducking crazy.

This is why women need strong men in their life. Women need to start involving their fathers again on their dating life. Men scare off weak men like this. If her father, brother, husband knew this was happening there is no way they would allow this. The problem is that women will call those men controlling for trying to keep them safe from men like this killer. We civilized this world so much that we forgot how dangerous it really is. Ladies, stop saying you don’t need men. You do. The police can’t save you every time.

Whoever "fed" him information should be jailed

I was stalked but survived. I would never date a man ever again. I'm too fearful for my life.

Not having a "serious relationship" does not mean anything is missing...

How in the world did all of her friends think it was OK for her to walk to her car alone? Unbelievable.

Girls, always lock your door immediately as you get into your car! You never know if there is any psycho around...

I was also in an abusive relationship when my ex told me I deserve to die, he would jump my gate and camp in the darkness outside my home. I TOOK IT SERIOUS AND I MOVED 1000 KM AWAY. I LIVED. Please take it serious and just move disappear

I know all too well how she felt. I have a serious stalker. There are no boundaries. Imagine being violated and having been watched for 3.5 years, possibly longer. It is literal HELL. I have PTSD from it and will never give my number out even to a friend. Everything was hacked, etc. Evil demons will get what’s coming to them.

Sometimes they can put trackers on your car. Always check underneath the car just in case.

This is truly sad. It's imperative to never underestimate these kind of circumstances. Don't friend ppl you don't actually know or post your every movement across social media. Nor leave an event you were stalked to alone. As a woman, situations can get dangerous quickly and we must do everything possible to protect ourselves. May she RIP.

I don’t understand how Molly’s friends didn’t accompany her to her car that night. So sad her friends didn’t even do this.

This was Molly's first serious relationship. As soon as I heard that my heart ached. Such a sad case 😞

Fair to say he has some serious 'mummy issues'

With a stalker NOTHING is coincidence!

Girls, please post past events. Don't put online where you are going and what you're doing. DM the friends involved in a planned night out, but not to everyone. God bless everyone stay happy and stay safe 🙏🙏🙏

The red flag was that he was rejected by his mother. That caused a rage in him and disturbed his relationships with women. If he had positive, loving relationship with his mother that probably would not had happened. All the women he dated rejected him just like his mother did. That would reignite his childhood wound over and over again.

I never brighten anyone's day, so I'm safe. 😂

It’s so crazy how police don’t detain a man who is actively known for threatening women repetitively before he can actually act upon these things. Threats need to be illegal and punishable by law and maybe we would catch these acts before it is too late.

The moment he showed up at the gym, I would have ran out of there! He clearly had sinister plans. What an evil man. And he stabbed her 75 times!! Just sit and count that out while banging on a table, he had to be so full of rage to do this, this poor girl didn't stand a chance, rest her soul.

I know a woman that actually had to leave the country she was living in due to stalking. It is such an awful thing, and so almost impossible to keep yourself safe and to lead a normal life.

Why would you want to date anxiety and depression, when you already have it...?

If they can't possess you, they will try to destroy you! Unbelievably scary!

I watch a lot of true crime, but I actually gasped in shock at what happened to Molly. When her parents turned to see everyone in Rochester Cathedral in applause and ovation, I cried. God bless Molly 👼and her friends and family.

Here's a tip: Get in the car and lock the door immediately, AND start the car immediately. Get acquainted with the way the door lock works, and make it a habit. Pay attention to your surroundings, dont let anyone get too near your car - and if someone makes you uneasy, just leave that area. Just drive away and if you need a minute, find another place to do your bs (texting, makeup, GPS etc). If you take comfort in the fact that your vehicle doors lock automatically, then you must understand that they (generally) do not lock until you actually put the vehicle in gear (drive), just so you know. So when you get in your vehicle, you are very likely gonna have to physically press the 'lock doors' button on the vehicle door. And don't open the trunk or passenger door and bend over to put all your sh*t in the vehicle - this makes you a perfect target for robbery, or kidnap, god forbid. Toss your sh*t in quickly as you get in. Get your big Instagram *ss in the vehicle FAST, and fn lock it up. And as you're sitting in the parking lot, there's no need to have the window right by your head rolled down. This gives any assailant physical access to grab your hair/clothing etc. If necessary, you could roll down the passenger window instead, but not far enuf for someone to reach their body in and physically grab you across the passenger seat, or even slither in your vehicle entirely... When you immediately lock the door, start the vehicle and are parked facing forward (so you can drive forward, not have to reverse out), then you are then in perfect position GTFO immediately, if necessary, and leave your problem in the rear view mirror. I also put my car (standard) in gear and keep my foot on the brake pedal, that way I'm immediately ready to drive off. *** This habit protected me from an altercation (or God knows what??) with a mentally disturbed (I assume) man who ran up to the driver's door of my vehicle as I returned home from work at approx 3 am one morning. He was obscured by other parked vehicles when I pulled up and came out screaming "Why are you doing this to me!?" (No, I was not in his parking spot lol) all the while waving some kind of long object that my brain claims was a sword/machete (I was so startled and frightened, and I fled so quickly, that I don't even know what it was, nor what he looked like). But, because i was confident that I was safely secured in my car (and I always keep my car running until I am actually ready to get out and go inside my house), I knew that I wasok for that moment and I was able to quickly get the heck outta there (without having to think very much about what I was gonna do) before anything bad happened. And if someone pulls a gun on you at your window, and the vehicle is all ready to go, slam that mo-fo in gear and gun it. Don't even think about it. Odds are, you're better off taking your chances than letting someone armed in your vehicle. And if they shoot you as you drive away, they were probably gonna kill you anyways, so you stand at better chance of shot missing you as you flee. Anyone can be the victim if car-jacking, robbery, or whatever, so men and women alike need to be alert. When you make your own security second-nature, it really clears the mind so that you are able to act in order to help yourself when you really need to. Nobody is gonna be able to help you in some situations. Ultimately, it's on you to look out for yourself.

Need harsher laws against people who stalk and harass... These people never stop and destroy too many people... Laws must change to stop these people

There needs to be an awareness-movement regarding this type of dangerous personality. Young women are sometimes flattered that someone wants them all to themselves. Instead they should be freaked out and run the other way, fast.

Why don't police treat crimes of stalking more seriously? All stalkers are essentially pressure cookers; they must need a very slow crime day to focus on cases of cyber bullying/stalking!

75 stabs??? Unbelievable...unimaginable scene for my brain! Rest in peace beautiful angel!

It’s insane to me how it takes murdering someone for stalking to be a thing in our world of justice in whatever country they’re in.

The way that cops legit never help anyone until it’s too late. 😣

These type of cases are shockingly common... when poeple think of the violence of being rejected they often think of men who throw acid in the face of women who reject them in developing countries.. but look it happens all over the world even in the wealthiest countries.. so tragic...

The number one thing a female should do as soon as she gets in her car is lock the doors.

In the UK two women per week are killed by partners or ex partners... Maybe you need to let women carry firearms for protection...

I’m so sorry to MollyS mother and friends. I have been stalked by a stranger for years. If you are being stalked and the person damages your property, shows a disregard for laws and is obsessed I’d advise you to handle your stalker with vigorous self protection. Stalking is hard to prove and many stalking cases aren’t solved until it’s too late. This is your life. Protect it.

Molly’s story brings so much needed attention to women who are or have been stalked. There needs to be more protection for people in these situations. The police should have provided Molly with more resources and support. Not provoke her stalker with a phone call. I feel this is where she was truly failed.

It's heartbreaking that her 1st relationship ended tragically. Only a psychopath would stalk someone. Why doesn't the law and police treat it more seriously and protect the victim?

I'm so very sorry this happened to such a young, vibrant, beautiful, talented woman. My sincerest heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. As someone that was kidnapped at the young age of 15, I Never post anything on social media, that's personal, much less where I am, or where I'm going. My heart goes out to sweet Molly.😭

Watching all these true crime shows just makes me feel grateful because I've learned so much from them. Rest in peace molly and I'm so sorry your life was taken too soon. Ladies please be careful out there. Listen to your gut. Be safe

I remember years ago (like 15 years ago), people would post on FB when they were leaving for vacation and where they were going and when they would return. Then their house would get broken into when they were gone... NEVER post on social media where you are going to be! Always post AFTERWARDS! It was one of the basic online safety measures we were told to follow

Amazingly, these friends sensed this bad guy from the start, especially Emilia Davies. The police should’ve checked his records, and then leave him immediately. Her death is so sad, because she seemed very kind! Please be careful, because men are MURDERING women in scary numbers everywhere. Lastly, always lock your car, even while you’re in it. He should NEVER be released! These are NOT victim shaming points, but a few tips to help us, because the Police may have been her only hope, after meeting these monsters!

Was the girl who gave him Molly’s whereabouts charged???

when will the police listen, they never take this stuff seriously!!!!

I had a deranged stalker who was a 5th degree blackbelt, he taught Tae Kwon Do & all his underling blackbelts from his Do Jo assisted him in his stalking of me. When I moved to avoid him, he would follow my children home from their activities to find where I had moved to as he knew my routine & the details of my life. Fortunately, these were the days before social media. To this day I am not on social media but somehow I am in other peoples posts & see how difficult it would be to hide. To lose my stalker, I had to have my 2 older school age children go stay with their father while I took my baby (stalkers child) & hid. As a nurse I did not dare work at a hospital or nursing home where he'd be looking for me. I did private duty & hid for 3 years until he finally gave up & moved on. I know he would have killed me as at the end he was telling me how he was going to kill me & what he would do with my dead body. My monster is now dead, God is good. He died of liver cirrhosis at age 59 as he was an alcoholic.

😔I saw the title for the first time and thought it said 'I Killed My Stalker' and almost felt some sort of victory but my heart sank after I double checked. RIP Molly...

I’m all seriousness… WHY WHEN YOU FEEL THREATENED AND STALKED would you ever in your right mind still post a current update of your location? Truly 🤦‍♀️ I’ll never understand. That played into this whole thing.

Posting your every move on Facebook or other social media is NEVER a good idea. There are creeps everywhere.

Life without parole! Its about damn time that criminal gets what's deserving of him. WTF is Tinder not taken down. Too many horrific stories about people meeting on tinder

I have never understood why people are posting their actual whereabouts on social media, some even for the public. This was not the case here but as you could see there are ways to get to this piece of information. Sorry to hear what happened to her.

No street smarts shown by anyone. Poor girl

Stop accepting friend requests from people u dont know!

this made me cry, especially when the friends started crying. The feeling that they wished they could have helped her more is evident. RIP Molly.

The lesson we should learn from this is to not post everything about yourself on social media because psychos use it to stalk people. Privatize your life more to stay safe.

Shocking, she should of locked her car straight away when inside the vehicle

I’ve just watched this one and also the Alice Ruggles case. As well as the obvious takeaways about how evil these guys are... I also find it fairly jaw dropping that these guys are willing to throw away their own lives and go to prison. How can you be that blinded by bitterness towards one person that you’re willing to destroy multiple lives, including your own? It’s sad when nice girls unknowingly get with these absolute lunatics. Lots of obsessive, controlling types out there it seems... and the obsession doesn’t end after a breakup, it just seems to increase. I feel for girls caught up in these situations, not knowing how to get away, and worrying about how the guy will react if she dumps him.
