How CCTV Caught a Killer | The Harrowing Story of Jackie Vandagriff 

How can a known violent stalker that kills cuts up and cuts off the heart of someone be ever eligible for parole?? Specifically in Texas?!?!?!?!

She was my friend and coworker. I loved her with my entire heart. Thank you so, so much for helping her legacy live on. I appreciate it more than you could ever know.

"Without much going on upstairs..." I always love the sassy comments about the vile perpetrators. It sucks because none of us should be here right now, watching this video. I wish we lived in a world where videos like this didn't need to be made because evil people like this didn't exist. But they do & I appreciate the case coverage on this channel. As always, thank you, Adrian.

One thing I love about this channel is naming the case after the victim and not bringing notoriety to the killer in the title

“I’m the best you’ll ever get…” A sure sign that he isn’t.

How could he possibly be eligible for parole in the future after such a heinous crime? The man is an absolute monster, and should NEVER be allowed freedom again.

This has me tearing up. RIP, Jackie. My heart broke again at the thought of Caitlin having survivor's guilt and saying she would have taken her place. I hope that monster rots in prison. How he's eligible for parole at all is beyond me.

*Coffeehouse Crime* is my favorite true crime RU-vid channel because Adrian chooses being humanizing over sensationalism. 🖤

Survivor's guilt/remorse is so hard. Both of those poor women deserved so much more in life than Charles.

You have such an ideal voice for narration. I also really appreciate that you don't try and be quirky or draw attention away from the crimes and victims. The stories are always told in such a respectful manner. Much respect 🙏

'Without much going on upstairs......' I love when Adrien rips them apart but in a classy way!

I feel bad for Caitlin, that she has guilt over this. She did exactly what she was supposed to do, removed herself from the relationship and reported him to law enforcement. Nobody could have known that he would prowl the edge of the restraining order boundary and murder a random woman who reminded him of her.

Well covered, as always. I'll never understand how people like him are even eligible for parole.

She was born in my hometown. I remember hearing this on the news. So heartbroken for her and her family.

Caitlyn, it is pot luck when you first meet someone like him. You had a few weeks,( Jacquie only had a few hours) to realise who he was. What you went through was enough to make sure they knew who Jacquie's killer was. If you weren't brave enough to tell police as it was happening they may not have been able to convince the jury of enough. Thankyou and Stay Strong 💜

Wow, what are the chances that she stops at a random bar and meets a random psycho who gets reminded of his ex?

Personaly, i feel like someone so malicious who cares so little about ruining other peoples lifes, forfeits their right to live. Same with pedophiles. You didnt just commit a crime, you ruined those people and their familys lifes forever

I wish people would STOP meeting or going to peoples homes they don’t know. Even meeting in a hotel room or secluded area is SO dangerous!

It's very surreal to see someone you have met in real life on this channel 😢..who lost their life in such a senseless tragic way. Jackie I know we did not speak much in Highschool but I will always remember how kind you were to any and everyone. My condolences to your family and friends 🙏🏾

Non-consensual roughness in the bedroom is called assault or rape. This "she liked it rough and it got out of hand" is an excuse -- a person can't explain whether they gave consent or not after they're dead. Easy enough for investigators to ask former partners about preferences.

Honey wake up, Coffeehouse Crime uploaded!

Thank you for always showing respect to the victims and highlighting their life and the loss felt by those who loved and knew them. You always make sure to show compassion and your true empathy shows. ❤️

I feel so bad for Kaitlin, who seems to be struggling with survivors guilt. I'm sure she's been told many times by many people, that it's not her fault, but maybe if enough people tell her she was a victim too, and holds no responsibility in what happened to Jackie, she might start to believe it. What a horrible pos he is. I hope he fails as miserably in prison, as he did in society. RIP Jackie ❤️

This was such a shocking and terrible case. I was at UNT at the time and we always hung out at Fry because there was really nothing else around. After this happened, I never went back there.

I’m sorry ,every time I see his full body shot makes me literally sick🤮🤮 he truly defines scary looking😱, and may he never never ever get out physically or mentally😡

‘hitting the gym and eating kale’ 💀 the shade Adrian! 😂 such a tragic story , well presented as usual ❤

The violation of boundaries, not taking rejection well, the love bombing... This creep reminds me of my ex. I wasn't as smart as Caitlin, I stayed for a year and a half before wising up and after it was months of harassment, doxxing me, showing up at my home... It was bad but not this bad. My heart goes out to Jackie's family and friends and to Caitlin as well. No one deserves what this trash human being did to them.

What a beautiful sweet woman. I live in Texas and remember this case well. Such a tragic horrible way to die. Another narcissistic monster. He creeps me out looking at him. You can see the signs in his eyes. Thank you Adrian! Blessings

I still want to know why anyone would expect a murderer to show tears or remorse? It’s absolutely a ridiculous thing for ppl to expect! Just stop thinking it will ever happen! Wake up!

This guy will never change for the better.

As always, very respectfully reported. Devastating case. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

A serial killer who should never see freedom. RIP Jackie. Thank you Adrian for airing this case.

I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and had been looking for a way to submit this case to you, Jackie was a friend of mine and a wonderful person. I appreciate you drawing attention to this case in hopes that it can prevent others from suffering in a similar manner.

Frisco resident here. This one was real hard to watch. Jackie seemed like such a kind, beautiful soul and it hurts so much to know that this happened super close where I grew up and still live, especially since our area takes pride in being relatively safe. She even went to the same high school I graduated from. Thanks for treating her case with kindness, Adrian. May Jackie rest easy.

I always really love how gently you speak of the victims and the affected parties. I think that’s a really big part of why I enjoy your videos so much, you’re just really human and I’d definitely share a cup of coffee with you to be able to listen to stories. ☺️

It’s sad how one misjudgment can end so horrifically. Jackie met and trusted the ultimate monster.

My heart hurts for Jackie and her family. She seemed so sweet, confident, and incredibly smart, she deserved much, much, much better.

not without reason, when you get out of a relationship with a narcisist, you are called a survivor.

Everlasting peace to Jackie 😢 I pray her loved ones find comfort in one another 💜

"Without much going on upstairs" "Aside his awful selfies" Adrian keeps on giving the best sassy comments ever!

There's too many rotten people around and every sweet soul is vulnerable. Sad when you have to change your whole being in order to survive.

I've often wondered how some women can find selfies of men who pose like that attractive. It advertises one of the ugliest sorts of character - one full of narcissism and vanity. Ironically, the young woman who split up with him was the best HE could ever get.

When people (or should I say authorities...?) realizes that those stalkers will not stop just because was in jail for two weeks, we will prevent a lot of tragedies like this one. An announced tragedy...Excellent job bro! Have a happy new year!

Top quality as always!

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Jackie. I'll never understand how someone could do such heinous things to another person. I'm grateful for that.

Stay away from strangers.

Nice! Can't talk about Denton, Texas without including a shot of Jeffrey Barnes. Very spot on. 🤙

I have never even heard of this case!! Adrian I can ALWAYS count on you to bring on these cases that aren't well known , yet should be !!!

It's Erie watching a video of someone talk about their bright future and hopes for their career knowing that something terrible is going to happen to them that ends all that. It's really sad.

It shows how much you care about the victims, and I love you for that!!!

Love how coffe prioritizes you knowing the victims over the perpetrators. Genuinely love that

The respect that you give to victims in your videos is unmatched. You make sure we know who they were as a person, not just a victim. They deserve to be remembered, and you ensure that they are. ♥️

You cover these stories SO respectfully! Always so respectful to the victims. No laughing, clickbaiting, etc. Thank you, you are definitely my favorite true crime youtuber.

Wonder how long he practiced his "Rock" pose with the eyebrow?

I was a sophomore at TWU when I heard about this. And it was incredibly scary to know that my friends and I had also been to fry street around that time. She deserved so much better.

I always enjoy watching your amazing crime investigation series. 😊 May Jackie Rest In Peace. 😢

I'm from this area and this case sticks in my head for 3 reasons; I remember being sickened by him trying to say kinky sex was the cause as if he'd be completely exonerated (IMO he wanted to explain his sexualassault of her, as well as make the family uncomfortable), the fact that the victim and I were the same age (she's march of '92, I'm May of '92) and the awful experiences I've had dating since living in Tarrant County. Now I'm not saying it's not hard elsewhere, but I spent my earlier dating years living in a small rural town and it seems like dating in the metroplex is a whole new animal that I have yet to understand, let alone master. So it gave me that extra grit to listen when my gut when seeing if I may hit it off with someone. The apps are bad, and meeting organically, aka in person, isn't much better. It's scary out here, and being disabled puts a lot of unique obstacles in the way. This poor girl did everything right once she got away. She pressed charges, she got a restraining order, and she stuck to enforcing it. Still, this nut job got to her, and now she's gone. There's a good reason I own a firearm, and despite it feeling like a failure that I'm not on my own (in this economy, idk how anyone's doing it without help) I'm so glad I live with my family still. My father is a USMC vet, and I feel markedly more secure than I would with roommates or just on my own. I've had guys show up uninvited before and been so happy to be able to let dad handle it once it was clear they weren't listening to me saying I didn't want to see them. I'm very lucky to have parents that allow me the privacy of dating and trying to not be a big presence while I have someone over but I'm even luckier that I have my dad there to intimidate those guys that are....less than stable and don't like rejection. Stay safe out there, y'all. That goes for everyone, not just the ladies like myself! Take care of yourselves & don't let anyone treat you badly. A good rule of mine is, "Would you interject if this was happening to your best friend/siblings?". If you wouldn't be okay with it happening to someone else, especially to a person you cared about, then don't allow it to happen to you. We deserve to be cared for but never at the expense of another person's mental and physical well-being. Okay, I'm done. If anyone is still reading, sorry about the rant... here's the reward-potato. 🥔🫶

I live in Denton and I remember the story it was very tragic

One thing I love about this channel is how you always open with the history of the community/culture where the crime took place. I also love how you always start and end with the victim’s legacy and life ❤

Did not expect to see my hometown on your channel, and you did an INCREDIBLE intro on it!

I've spent a few months in Denton and it's a beautiful area, a great community, everything is huge and clean and new. I can see why you'd be less wary here

Seems like a lot of these stalker narcissists go down the cp road. 🤮

What a lovely woman with a lovely vision for her future, helping convince companies their workers' wellness matters, and guiding the processes of support for better health outcomes. It's both ambitious in its scope and concrete in its particular method of realization, a career goal melding practicality and progress at both individual and social levels.

Well done thanks!

What kills me here is that with his looks, confidence and bad boy history (some people are attracted to that, which is wrong on so many levels), he could easily get another woman rather than obsess over 'the one that got away'. Narcissists can't handle not being in control or getting attention and validation. Ignoring them makes them persistent until they get what they want.

Those selfies were killing me.

This made me cry. I am so so sorry for Jacky, her family and friends. It is so unbelievable hard, inhumane, evil and cruel beyond words how someone can do that to another human being.

Your level of roasting the perpetrators deserves a hats-off, Adrian!

"And, awful selfies aside" 😂😂😂. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. Such disgusting coincidences.

Happy boxing day allll the way from Barbados 🇧🇧 . Thank you for the upload!

This was just as good as all the others you do, I like the mixup in format. Keep doing you!

I deeply appreciate the kindness you show to the victims with the memorializing at the end

Thanks for the Upload Mr Adrian, just right for a restful day after cooking and baking all day yesterday!! Wishing all who may read this a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year!!🕊️

Sick bastard. My heart goes out to her family and friends. May God give her family the peace and strength to continue with their lives. ❤️

thank you for covering this case! i was attending twu when this happened and it shook the campus. i learned a lot of things abt the case that i’d never seen covered together

What a tragic case. I hope one day soon Katlyn will be able to realize it wasn't her fault. She was smart to have been able to recognize his true character.

I have never laughed at a true crime video before but the ‘with and without a shirt eating kale’ really got me! 😂

Never trust a dude who takes the type of selfies he does lmfao

Brilliant job as always really well done and elegant towards the two victims

I was tearing up on this one. Rest in Peace , Jackie 🙏 Thank you Adrien for not only sharing these cases with us all but you include tremendous love and respect regarding the victims and their families that make such heartbreaking cases such as these with a reminder to us watching that there is still reason to have faith in humanity as we can see you have the biggest heart Adrien . I truly appreciate you and thank you ❤️

Excellent coverage. Being a resident of TX I clearly recall this case being all over the news at the time. 😢

Please cover Sef Gonzalez of Australia wherein he murdered his entire family and even sang One Sweet Day in their memorial service. Creepy and so macabre

Rest in Paradise Jackie. I hope they never let that monster out because he will kill again! My deepest condolences to Jackie's family and friends. 🕊 🕊 🕊

I fell asleep watching a episode last night and ended up playing 6 hours of recommended content 😂 this was one of them. Time to actually watch it and do it again

I can only hope that videos like these help women and men see psycho people and get away from them immediately.

I don't even know how I'd feel if someone was so brutally murdered, and had their heart cut out simply because they looked like me. What a sick man. I truly hope he never makes it long enough to be eligible for parole. I hope he never sees the light of freedom again.

You're amazing in showing respect to all concerned...a class act yet very thorough content on a very sensitive subjects. Koodos Adrian, just wanted to profit of the moment to wish you and yours Happy Holidays and the very best for 2023.

Best crime channel as, no or little music, not too long, Adrian such a nice bloke.

"Spent most of his time hitting the gym and eating kale" 💀

It broke my heart when she introduce herself. She deserved to live like everyone else, and this monster decided to take her life. May she rest in peace.. 🙏

Another great video. Good job my friend 👏

Loving your content. Thank you for all your hard work. Much appreciated.

Literally just gasped and said "YESSS" out loud as soon as this popped up Didn't mean to.... It just came out lol Thanks for this. Happy Holidays!

Thanks for another great video Adrian 👍💜🇬🇧

As a true crime junkie, I have never heard of this particular tragedy, but it serves as yet another reminder of how vulnerable women can be at the hands of some men. Jackie went out looking for a good time with a seemingly attractive man and lost her life because of it. I'm relatively new to your channel and the few videos I've seen thus far are so well done. Your storytelling and tone are both appealing. Also, I absolutely love the different coffeehouse backgrounds. The one you used in this video is a favorite of mine thus far. So cozy and inviting.

Thank you. This is valuable information. Narcissism kills. He loved himself, not Caitlyn or Jackie, or anyone. He was cruel and tortured that girl. I am amazed he was not put on death row. At least Caitlyn was smart enough to break it off. Jackie could not have had any forewarning about getting in the car with him.

Another well researched and sensitively presented episode. Let's pray that this Stalker, murderer and danger to society is never released from prison. 🙏

Thanks, Anna Garcia, for another deep dive

Happy holidays, Adrian.🎅🌲🤶 Thanks for the video. This guy is a monster!!!

Needed a post Christmas coffeeshop murder story.
