Ian and Nancy Blackburn | Murder She Solved | S2E07 

When I was young I heard a criminal profiler give a lecture. He said never allow yourself to be taken from crime scene number one to crime scene number two. He went on to explain that even if someone holds a deadly weapon on you you should fight no matter what. Even if you were stabbed and shot you may have a chance of survival and somebody may come to your aid but if you allow yourself to be incapacitated or under their control, you will not survive and you will not survive at the crime scene number two. He said do not believe the person if they tell you just do as I say and I won’t hurt you. Most people are so frightened he went on to say, that they just obey because they are so terrified and no one has ever hurt them or threaten them in their life before. But never never never allow yourself to be tied up and taken away believing they will let you go. Best advice I ever heard.

49 and 54 are elderly? Who wrote the script? A 16 year old?

As I have taught my children and grandchildren. If someone has you in a car, cause a crash, at lower speeds in a city if possible, or sideswipe another car. Once you have done this, other people will be involved, and you will probably get free of harm

This makes me think, as a couple or family we should have a code. A word or a phrase that doesn't raise suspicion to anyone else. If you're forced to call, you say that word and your spouse or family member suddenly knows that they should seek help for you immediately.

Killed two people and tried to kill few others and sexually assaulted them but the court only gave him life in prison without parole for 25 years. He even attacked and threatened to kill an inmate in 2008. Someone like him should stay in prison forever.

Awwwwwww........kitty. All right, if a woman leaves her purse, keys, phone, money, ID, and cards behind, _she did not leave voluntarily_ .

I'm so sad that the couple suffered that horrific ending to their lives. Thank God that evil monster was caught!!

The two girls were very lucky that a mounty had arrived at scene by pure chance. But the dying lady at the restaurant was even luckier to have the police arrived in minutes while he was still on the top of her. Good job by the Vancouver police.

She really did nailed him but he was caught thanx to the person who did identify his writing. Great job from everyone,including the officers who saved the 3 womens

Great police work all around! It’s crazy how close they were on his trail, that they were able to stop 3 murders in progress!

L.T you are so right I feel the same way.the lady who recognized his hand writing give her her credit.Thank you Miss.

It's hard to believe that two nice people with no enemies would become victims of a sadistic crook.

Breaks my heart that this innocent loving couple was murdered this way…An older couple minding their own business inside their home…A place where we should feel safe

"can be kept..." He MUST be KEPT in Prison for the rest of his life.

Fabulous to hear Kate was promoted it was well deserved.

I hope David Snow was told that it was a woman who aided in his downfall & how right she was about him

Really enjoying these 'murder she solved' case's very interesting and awesome to see women getting recognition for their work in solving cases

Profilers are amazing. Thank goodness for this forensic tool.

She could never put her finger on what was wrong with him, but let him babysit?

"Is this a murder suicide...?" sure it is, they killed and put them self in the trunk just to irritate the police 😒

His actions were so evil. And such nice people. Just a little side note, did a family member take the cat? I am elderly and I worry about my 2 cats.

Kudos to Supdt.Kate Lines....her experience and determination paid off. Very very intelligent lady that Vancouver Police forces should be proud of! No words to express my grief at this end such a happy loving couple had to face..thank God this monster now is behind bars!! The other ladies were very lucky to escape so much pain and horror! The police forces are so dedicated.....it's a big salute to them too.

So glad I found this channel. I am interested in how these cases are being solved. RIP to all the victims. Wishing you all Merry Christmas from South Africa.

When my grand daughter was six and we had driven to a large grocery store, she wanted to wait for me in car. I wouldn't have let her, of course, but pretended to go along with her request. All I said was, "Just remember, even if someone comes up to car pointing a gun at you, do not open the door!" She hurriedly replied, "I'm going with you!" She never asked to wait in car again...

David Snow was 37 years old?? He looked 57.

Criminal profiling is an immense help and very valuable when you need more information.

Candace DeLong really brought criminal profiling to the forefront. She worked for the FBI and then went on to have a show on the ID channel. The Behavioral Analysis Unit at the FBI worked with police agencies from all over the country and helped solve many cases because of the help given to the police departments. It’s a very unique and thorough form of psychology. I’m glad it helped so much in this case. DNA analysis wasn’t big then, and that’s why fingerprints and testing blood smears was all they used in this case. Had this been happening now, they would have found his DNA on the women he assaulted and coupled with the criminal profiling that helps zoom in on a suspect, the perps DNA would be obtained one way or another, and the criminal would be caught quickly. So sad it happened to such a nice couple. He must have had a gun or knife to one of them in a surprise attack because she was only 49, and her husband was only in his early 50’s. So, not an elderly couple at all and that tells me that he had some sort of weapon to immediately threaten them with the harm of one of them if they didn’t both cooperate. Such an evil man and a serial killer in the making had the profiling and witness not been involved.

RIP to the victims. That round cottage is really nice, they had nice property and didn't deserve to be snuffed out by a creep. Nice police work too.

Those cottages look scary,unsafe, in the middle of nowhere.

I wonder what happened to their poor cat :( It always makes me sad when there are pets left behind. People are so evil.

It breaks my heart that their family have to live knowing what happened to their loved ones.

The poor victims. They were just really good people, who would never even harm a fly. Glad they caught this bastard!

When Law Enforcement began using profilers, it really changed the game.

And back in the day they said women shouldn’t be police officers and detectives… and these women are rocking it!

Wow, what a riveting story! But the ending proved successful in finding and prosecuting the person responsible. 👍👌

Okay...She knew he was "odd" but let him babysit her children?? Some people are incredibly and painfully naive. I wonder if he didn't assault those children who may have been afraid (or too young) to speak up?

40 or 50 friends over for a maple syrup party? such awesome

Great police work and team work of lady FBI. Caught the killer, now he can't harm anyone else. I feel at peace when they catch such mad insane inhumane killers. May the soul of the couple rest in peace. Their killer is behind bars.

Kudos to C. Supt Kate Lines for her wisdom n to all those involved in catching the sadistic killer. May he rot in prison for taking away the lives of innocent people.

I don't like to watch disturbing videos, this one caught my attention because of a "nice gentle coupe" being killed. RU-vid suggestion :) This was very sad. I just read: "David’s application for parole was denied in 2019" . How evil can a human person be? I am going back to "gardening " videos, this was too much. RIP all victims.

I wish we had the means to identify and weed out creeps like that BEFORE they can do harm!

If a killer allows you to drive anywhere crash the car drive like a maniac.

I've watched this before and it's actually one of the the most interesting cases I've heard about. Some of these stories although horrific just stick with you.

I love the good memories they shared together

Not judging or blaming but does anyone else wonder why her husband would have called her to come to the cabin so that she would be in danger too?

Ian called his wife to come to the cabin knowing the killer was waiting for her? Asking her to bring him food , having her step into a trap? Even if the intruder was threatening him with a gun did he think that having his wife come to the cabin spare him? I don’t understand why.

If you freeze frame on the handwritten list of characteristics the profiler attributes to the perpetrator, you'll see they aren't terribly specific and many of them can be inferred from the evidence. In the end, the business partner's wife solved the crime by recognizing the lists of military equipment and calling in the tip. It had nothing to do with the profiler. And, on a different topic, I wonder how the business partner and his wife now feel about the times Snow babysat their kids. Given how sick a person he turned out to be, I hope he never molested them.

It’s sad how his sister is still talking about her brother in present tense.

Elderly at 49 and 54? I'm 59 and far far from elderly lol!! Besides that, very sad. Horrible crime.

And you need Osbornes as friends. If not for them, it may take a little more time for them to be discovered.

I hope Ian & Nancy are together in Heaven! Rip❤

The female who let David/murderer babysit her kids was lucky her kids didn't get hurt by him. This is a sad story.

Never let someone have control over you.. no matter what the circumstances is. You will not survive once they have control over you

did a run on fingerprint early in program...found nothing??!!! but then found his name, ran fingerprints again and FOUND in system?? what gives with this bs??!!!

So sad for the family. She solved this well. Glad no-one else died.

I feel a little sick after watching this

Rest in peace the Blackburns…

One thing I think they get wrong is assuming a car seat that is way back means a tall person drive it last. I always put my seat back before I get out, it makes it easier.

the couple who used that man to babysit must feel shocking about that decision. Never let any man who seems odd near your children. Never

When profiler is smarter than the criminal. 🙏❤️

this genius said we don't know if it was a murder suicide 🤔 yeah he or she killed their spouse then themselves and somehow their ghost carried their body to the car and placed themselves in the trunk 🙄

That profiling sounded a little arbitrary at first but was right on. Still, what cracked the case was that phone call. Who knows if they'd been able to catch him otherwise.

Excellent series, great uploads, no cut off head or tinny voices, thanks, recommended ! Great story here too, the profiler was a star !

How smart is Kate hats off

R.I.P TO THE BEAUTIFUL COUPLE. BLESS THE LADY THAT SURVIVED.. BLESS THE DETECTIVE FOR HER GO HARD NONE STOP WORK.. SHE IS AMAZING. HER INTUITION WAS ON POINT WITH THAT MONSTER AND I LOVE HOW SHE WAS SO DRIVIN TO GET HIM OFF THE STREETS... BLESS EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THIS CASE....

She was a heckuva good profiler…23 out of 25….wow.

He was 37? Gosh. He looked almost 60 to me. Sad for the blackburns. RIP Ma'am and Sir..

This case is the reason so many neighborhoods now a days are completely hostile. Everyone keeps to themselves, owns weapons etc...

Why on Earth would the husband tell his wife to join him at the cabin? No way would I ever involve someone else knowing I'm going to die.

:D Whoever did the sketch of him (27:24) got his head shape and eyes right! You can see the shape of his head is accurate (42:41) :D

A very good show Thank you.👍

It is so interesting how they go about solving these crimes.

OMG. ..even as I watched this, I feel so sick. He is like Satan in flesh

wow, so impressive how accurate the criminal profiling is! police & investigators commitment is admirable.... lives were lost but somehow it will bring closure & healing to the grieving family & friends

There will always be human monsters. Sadly we have to deal with it.

A case like this is where a profiler shines, it's such a confusing scenario. I can't believe when one partner calls another into danger, I heard of this once before and it still defies logic.

Gee that was mind-blowing thanks from Australia 👍🦘

So that sketch is a 35-45 year old ? My husband says “ people look older than they are because they are evil” and I’m starting to believe it . 🤣🤣

Well done!

These sick psychopaths need to be put down! 😡

I would feel horrible knowing I had let this man watch my baby. Why would you let a man that's not related to you that took interest in your child babysit anyway?? I know not everyone are creeps but I'd rather be proactively safe than reactively sorry geesh.

The profiling didn't help solve the case...it was the person who recognized the handwritting.

Wow! What a stunning story!

Why would anyone hesitate for a second, turning in a murderer?

beware the handyman

Their all bragging how quiet & safe that area is . . . apparently not.

I’m really glad that that woman’s friend encouraged her to turn the man in when she knew that he had written those letters! I do question this woman, her character and integrity. She claims that the man gave her the creep vibes and then after that, she thought it was OK to let him babysit her children. 😳 she also openly questioned turning the man in because she was starting her new life on Monday knowing that this guy was probably a depraved murderer. (She already KNEW the guy was a complete FREAK from his place they cleaned out)There’s so many people like her out there, too involved in their lives to be bothered to help others,and in my book for her to even question turning him in , is disgusting!!

Please tell me that husband didn't call his wife into that horror....

Sad really sad... Simply outrageous

Wow this woman(Nancy) she's good at what she does. 23 out of 25 amazing!

He truly is a reprehensible man

The reason someone wouldn't pull all the way up the driveway would be if there's a car in front of it

His parole application was denied in 2019 and he is continuing a rehabilitation program. I find it appaling that tax money is spent with this man. He should stay locked up in prison for the rest of his life in a cell with *boys in need* .....

Incredible work

I may be missing something, but I do not see how the profile helped identify or catch the murderer. The recommendation to publish the "list" appears to be not related to the profile. The fact that the profile fit well is fascinating, but in this case, does not appear to have helped solve the crime.

Why? did husband call her to come to bring him dinner? It must have been a really awful outcome if she doesnt come. I would die before I would call my hubby to come. We cant judge since we dont know, but it seems odd to me.

But what happened to the cat??

I wish yall would stop telling what's gone happen in the comments. I want to be surprised but I'm too nosey not to read comments. 🤣😂😂

Sad story I can’t believe that woman knew who the writing belonged to was questioning and thought what am I gonna do should I do this and get a killer out of society that could potentially hurt you or your family members. wouldn’t you want somebody to turn that person in to help your family find who did a horrible thing to any of your love ones. very disappointing that this woman had to even think about her decision if she would go to the police with this information or not

Elton John does NOT have a house in Canada, btw.
