The Devastating Story of Revelle Balmain | Australian Crime Stories | TCC |  

I recommend that you do light up a room, otherwise you'll trip over things in the dark

Dingos can sense that instantly. They have special infrared sensors in the roof of their mouths. Hundreds of charismatic Aussies have fallen victim to this over the years.

LOL!

I watch a lot of true crime and they do use that phrase very often how they “ lit up a room” I never noticed it til now… lol

Never light up a room with a fart and a naked flame.

Right? I feel like they’re kinda taking it easy… sometimes I even doubt their ability to even solve the case. I prefer watching the US crime stories because the police is at least motivated to solve the crime.

extremely Lazy ! No Zeal

Not In all the cases and it cost alote of money too

I know they’re always like: So if anybody has any information or if anybody saw anything that night…always waiting for someone else to do their job!

Agree,they don't care much , it's not fair. unlike USA police who go after criminals like hound dogs.

👍💯. Yet investigators don’t have his dna!

@@liliivanova2920 The guy was smoking like a dragon so it shouldn’t be that hard to get his DNA!

@@donnaengel6413 exactly!

​@@donnaengel6413 in Australia he should voluntarily provide his DNA, so that it can legally be considered as evidence. Of course, the police have made a lot of mistakes without a doubt, but I don't think it's him. The people who owned an escort agency (a married couple with Slavic names, I think Serbian) are much more powerful and very capable of erasing someone's life as if it never existed. And she resented them, acting like they were beneath her, making her own rules. She probably served as an example to the others.

And he’s the only suspect who has scratches and a bite mark on his finger. He was the last one to see her. He had a history of violence, with other women, specifically prostitutes. Then, he was charged with raping the woman he was supposed to be caring for, threatening to kill her with a knife and stalking her, setting fire to her house and killing her. He always carried knives, according to people who knew him. He had a gambling addiction (and alcoholic) or why else would he go gambling with the only money he had, money from pawning his girlfriend’s instrument and then to spend it on a prostitute? I don’t believe for a second that he paid her. He killed her. I hope they catch him before he does it again. When they find her, I am willing to bet she won’t have that money on her. They should have done the first interview right. He never should have been free. Now, he’s committed two murders and still he walks free. Smh what a failure of the system. I’m not to the end of this doc, yet but I hope he is charged SOON.

She wasn't a model ahah she was a street worker. Why was this so highly looked up . What about the other workers that didn't even get looked at

Please, let's not forget how the family's suffering was put an end to by that one rare & magnanimous hug from the coroner.....applause everyone!

Oh come on now, didn’t you know that only amazing people get murdered… 😅

He lit up a room like an obsessed arsonist on the 4 th of July.

@@madelineanabella6400 YIKES!!! I must admit, I almost laughed coffee right outta my nose.

Look up Ken McElroy!

@@madelainemadelaine2934 Yes, she was a stunningly beautiful-looking girl.

Parents are reunited with their daughter, but the killer is still out there and needs to face justice!

Oli 😋🙃🙃 O🙃😋🙃😋🙃😋🙃😋😐ll Ol 😋🙃😋lll🙃🙃l🙃o

"his" ?

This beautiful girl? Would it have been less bad if she had been average looking or even unattractive?

@@suzannebosjolie7532God knows, he will face Justice

Riiiight!!

No doubt.👍

Had a recent case of police in NYC taking a new born baby's blood sample shortly after birth, used it in their police records to prove the baby's father was guilty .. simply because they could get the father's personal DNA they STOLE his child's DNA

Sure they do that in UK too! But also court orders can be obtained.

Just recently, Australia forced people in covid concentration camps and arrested people for breaking a "public health order" so this doesnt surprise me.

The same reason law enforcement screws up or doesn't pursue aggressively in the US, Canada, the UK, virtually all countries in South America, etc etc. The only places with relatively few screw ups are the countries with really low crime, like the Scandinavian countries. There are so few crimes that they can afford to spend more time on each case.

The crimes seem especially horrific in Australia. Young single girls should not backpack alone.

It’s because unfortunately here in Australia the biggest criminal network/syndicate is in fact The Australian Police Force! Bullies wouldn’t cut closer to how to explain the systematic bullying abuse corruption and string pulling innocent people become victims too thanks to the cops running the show and controlling the justice system and processes they continue behind the scenes 👎 its very scary and unbelievable true for many centuries! Afterall, we were originally a convict country huh! 🤮😔

Australia and America both have top notch law enforcement. But they make mistakes at times. They’re not perfect.

Well look at their sentencing laws too - a total joke!!!

Apparently he has to provide his DNA voluntarily. Unbelievable.

Some crims are above the law - - at least in Sydney. Ask Roger Rogerson or Stuart "The Magician" Regan. Wheels within wheels, my friend. Wheels within wheels.

I don’t think it was him.

What a f.. justice. 30 years ???? They should get his DNA through the Rosa Rosenberg....

​@@SPerry-qe3cz they should get his DNA immediately. But I still don't think it was him.

Totally!!!

​@@helenscott-tebb406 😢😢

Oh yer sure, she was a missing person. Even to this very day no evidence that she was murdered. She vanished, a lot of people vanish for a lot of reasons. So no crime, no crime scene and no body. Tell please how would you solve it in 24 hrs

⁠@@samsungtap4183if they had acted on it immediately, they would have found evidence. And no, people don’t usually vanish like this. There are usually signs of life.

Yes, I can only imagine the agony her parents went through and the frustration, the anger they felt at well, really so very little being done to find and prosecute her killer.

It truly defies comprehension.

The only thing one can deduce is that he paid them off. He was most probably connected to the mob. It's beyond obvious that it was him, and that they let him off.

Not only eyes, his entire face speaks volumes!

​@@liliivanova2920 Either way,a smart hooker would steer clear of him. She should've trusted her instincts.

Like what?

@@michelandre8106 If you don't see the craziness in his eyes,there's no use explaining.

That would not help as she was a call girl and nobody disputes he met her that day. Other evidence is needed here....like her body. But it has been so long that time and cause of death would be impossible. Some people do get away with murder I suppose.

I so agree with all of the comments. But were seeing it in all countries now, including US.

Canada has been doing it since the 70's but you know lol

It's as if they don't want to violate the offenders "rights". This is true in most of the Australian cases I have followed. It's getting that way in the US as well.🙄

There is no DNA technology in the 90s body

Monster

Actually it’s not

Why don't you look at it from a different angle...How can a woman sell herself to people whom she doesn't know? The most difficult thing is how her family accepts this. She can get a proper job very easily, she is beautiful and has a creative talent, Isn't stated in your understanding of religion that. This life is full of sin and shame. Please tell your kids the importance of living with dignity, and what kind of dangers await them in life, especially the girls. Society's value judgments are decaying day by day. For some, money can buy anything, and everything, even God.

First he killed a young woman, probably also raped her! Then he tried to exploit a mentally and physically ill woman and abused her while living off of her. This is so gross! Right out of the playbook of a misogynist.

@@mzraparslan6622 A different angle? Doesn't mean she should be killed for it.

Why do you say that? Hm?

I agree

Oh no, not at all, the idea is to send us on a wild goose chase after their own imbecile selves.

Well he’s not been arrested or convicted of anything. If he’s innocent then you could say he’s also a victim because his whole life has been affected by this. There was a lot of emotive speech to describe this guy in the video.

There is never the shortage of trolls getting behind a perp.

There is never the shortage of trolls getting behind a perp.

@@ninaballerina2807 what perp? The guys never been arrested and charged.

I assume he has to consent to providing his DNA. Not all countries are like the USA.

@@heidih3048 Even if he throws it away in the trash?

@@AnnieGitchYerGun Well, it's his DNA. What is more intimate than one's own DNA. Makes sense, in a way, that people should have to consent to providing their DNA. I live in The US, though, where law enforcement can collect DNA without consent.

@@heidih3048 That makes about as much sense as thinking people need your consent to share photos of you taken in public.

Exactly!

I can’t believe, this is a problem to obtain somebody’s DNA! Ridiculous !

That only helps in cases where they have DNA to compare the sample from the suspect with.

@@Kari.F. Yes, that's true. The program said they did recover DNA. So I don't understand why they haven't done a comparison. If nothing else, they should be able to eliminate the main suspect.

I thought the same thing…smh! I have found on most of the crime shows that come out of Australia that the police don’t work to hard!

Kev dimo do you think they are bothered?

​@@Kari.F. jjjjj

😂😂😂😂

I assume because he has to consent.

Maybe he eats his cigarette butts? It's a fairly common habit in Oz, unfortunately.

Hunting _actual_ criminals requires _actual_ police work. Much easier to just put up a $1M reward, and continue breaking down doors for social media posts.

*warrant

She does!

She absolutely does!

Literally I thought it was one of her headshots near the start!

​@@CultofPinky the photo they showed when they mentioned her magazine cover, definitely looked like Kate moss.

I was thinking exactly the same thing!!! 😳😳 ( Hi from Uk 🇬🇧) very sad all the same!! 😢✝️🌈💐

Yeah, there aren't any "first nations" in Australia. They're called aboriginals or indigenous Australians.

​@@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz way to miss the entire point, bud.

@@jstrum7784 deliberately, no doubt.

Bingo

I don't think he had the money to pay her. And I'm sure she would not have been to pleased with that. That could have have led to her murder

Yes the one guy said they could not find a clear motive, what a laugh getting a prostitute and then not having money to pay her says to me a clear motive. And from what she said I am sure she was not letting it slide.

​@@KimVerhaaff yes that sounds more like it..

That was my thought! Got to do things legally lol

@@angelinagulizio5830 I'm not aware of any law in Australia or anywhere else that would make it illegal to harvest dna from a discarded cigarette butt or drink container?

Who cares...then change the law

aw yes her pretty privilege should of gotten her a lot further in life, so sad. what an out of touch thing to say…

⁦;⁠-⁠)⁩

She's never been found,as at the time of this documentary being made.

The supposed money the prime suspect claimed he paid Revelle was never found - neither the cash or the cheque. It's obvious he lied - he never paid her! Not hard to work out what happened. Emboldened by alcohol, with his girlfriend away he hired a prostitute for a home visit knowing he couldn't pay her. Revelle walked into that house like a lamb to the slaughter, he raped and then murdered her so she couldn't prosecute him. He had luck in successfully disposing of her body. He dumped her shoes and bag to fake an abduction by another man, and had that fake story about dropping her off in town ready when the police inevitably came knocking. It's clear he was prime suspect from the start. Why police didn't do basic detective work and forensically search his home and car, Lord only knows. Shocking incompetance!

​@@JimiBegbaaji But they found her bag

@@JimiBegbaajilearn how to read! terrifying that you could be jury pooled one day…yikes.

I thought no-one was going to mention how stunning Kim also was as a young lady

Oh boy 🙄

Honestly, I’m glad you don’t work for the police department.

Yes, specially in Rose case, last woman! He never was charged of assaulting her!

Many Australian police actively work with criminals, especially in Sydney. It's an unfair aspect of Australian life.

Would they offer that if she were not a blonde mediagenic model, but an aboriginal woman?

Beautiful blonde model.. Totally worth it right..

Just because you “light up a room” that doesn’t mean you should be killed… 🤔. How strange of a comment 🥴!!

​​@@mavisjones9391 it's not strange cause that's what people say about almost every female murder victim on RU-vid.

It just means when she attracts an entire room, she attracts the good with the bad, so men with ill intentions want her & women who are jealous of her

Glowing like that could have made her a target for dingos, if she went to the outback! 😢

Same with "would take the shirt off her back for anyone in need".....never be that person, they are always the ones killed in true crime stories!🤓

If the police are like an oil slick, sure?

Effin agree. And mourning some people more than others because they were "beautiful".

It’s a figure of speech,don’t know about you I’ve seen plenty of folk light up a room,maybe if you could stretch your imagination you would know what it means,I’m not going to spell it out to you,that is unless you’re 5yrs old

I feel sad for the two who said they’ve never met someone that lit up a room when they came in. I know many loved ones who do just that. Who broke you?

@@dianesterns4961 it's about the tired, overused, worn-out CLICHÉ. Reading comprehension is important.

If someone lights up a room, they used matches

Sie klingen etwas neidisch, ausserdem rechtfertigt nichts was Sie hier schreiben einen Mord.

​@@someone3187 Und SIE klingen in hohem Maße bildungsfern. Wie grundschlecht vom Charakter müssen Sie sein, wenn Sie einem Menschen unterstellen, er sei neidisch, im Zusammenhang mit einer Person, die umgebracht wurde und sich für Kohle prostituierte? Sie klingen exakt wie eine dumpfe AfD-Schwurblerin. Unsäglich, was Sie für einen bodenlosen Blödsinn von sich geben! Sie halten nichts von Gerechtigkeit, das ist klar und so haben Sie es sicher ihr ganzes, verpfuschtes Leben so gehalten. Ich hingegen verachte Ungerechtigkeit und Oberflächlichkeit, besonders wenn es um Opfer von Gewaltverbrechen geht. Es ist widerwärtig, dass man besonders attraktiven oder/und reichen Menschen bei einem Kriminalfall mehr nachtrauert und sich ins Zeug legt bei der Täterfassung als bei Normalos! Dass SIE mit ihrer mangelnden sozialen Intelligenz dies nicht nachvollziehen können, liegt in der Natur der Sache. Ich habe übrigens in keinem Wort angedeutet oder vermerkt, dass ich die Tat an Revelle rechtfertige, für sowas gibt es nie eine Rechtfertigung, auch nicht, wenn sich ein Opfer sehenden Auges in die Gefahr begeben hat, trotz Warnungen. Ich habe nicht so ein krankes Mindset wie Sie, dass ich einem Menschen unterstelle, er würde einen Mord (abgesehen aus der Defensive) rechtfertigen.

@DarlEst Very well said.

No self respect.

Thank You for alerting the public, seems to me every story like this one has a few lazy lazy investigators

No. Because that just not credible.

@@ParkAvenue34 🤣ok cool thanks for clearing that up 👍🏻you must’ve worked on this case 🤣🤣

​@@SoooObvious theres also the theory the other guy didn't hav the money to pay her.. but your comment makes sense too.. they didnt even mention coltons name..

These journalists are always leaving out details or following a script. I doubt they investigate anything outside of when they are shopping online with all that money they get paid. I am tired of doing research. Thanks for confirming what I expected. We live in unprecedented times and most people lack critical thinking and common sense. We are the type that are rare to find these days. I always ask questions that most ignore or don't wanna answer.

*world’s oldest oppression

Have you heard about the innocence project? 50% of murd3rs go unsolved in the US compared to 10% in Australia.
