What’s even scarier is that Caroline only served 15 years for the premeditated murder of a minor. She’s still young enough to rebuild her life and have opportunities that she took away from Rachel. I assume the sentencing took mental health issues into consideration, but she obviously knew that what she was doing was wrong because she went to such lengths that plan it out, hide it, and even came up with an elaborate lie to tell Rachel. She had multiple chances to change her mind and didn’t.

I cannot fathom how her mother must have felt. "If I had just gotten her those shoes"... the what if for a parent must be horrific. Though clearly it wouldn't have mattered. Caroline would have found some way to fulfill her plan no matter what. How anxious Rachel was and how fearful makes her death especially cruel. 20 years was not enough. If this were my child... That prison release would have been the beginning of my prison sentence. RIP sweet girl. Love and support to her family.

Yeah with their prior relationship, I don't even know why the job was a necessary element at all, she could probably have simply invited her over. I guess it was the secrecy of not mentioning where she was going, but there's other ways I'm sure. Could be a slightly naughty type of party she didn't want to tell her parents about or anything like that instead.

@dknight25 Год назад

A missing child is handled very different than a missing teen. Teens tend to come back 99.99% of the time while children do not unfortunately. Police often times don't have the resources to attend runaway calls (too many), but they give priority when a 12yo or under child went missing as it is likely not due to rebellious behavior but something more serious.

Poor Rachel, what a sweet, delicate soul. What's so unfortunate, too, is that Rachel sounds like the kind of person that would've helped Caroline build her self-esteem, if only Carolina hadn't been a violent, jealous coward. Rachel obviously trusted Caroline, and Rachel also struggled with what seems very like agoraphobic tendencies (tendency, not saying she was). It seems like a perfect match that Rachel could've helped Caroline feel more beautiful and cared for, and Caroline could've helped Rachel build confidence in her own independence. Insane or not, Caroline should not be free. If she is crazy, she shouldn't be walking free so quickly after the heinous murder of a child. If she isn't crazy, she shouldn't be walking free so quickly after the heinous murder of a child. Insane people will come right out with their crazy like it's perfectly normal, and everyone else is crazy for not understanding how much sense they think they're making. This was pre-meditated and covered up. Caroline isn't insane, she's evil.

Caroline obviously had way more than a garden variety case of breaking the 10th Commandment. She was (is, presumably) mentally ill. She has such a horrible case of body dysmorphia, depression, and low self esteem that she turned it outward towards this innocent child and sought to destroy her because Rachel became the symbol for everything Caroline wanted and could never have. The irony of it all is that the ways in which Rachel struggled with fear and depression, she probably would have traded beauty and talent for the ability to ride a train and live in an apartment all alone like Caroline did. I do hope Caroline is being made to have psychological help.

What a selfish person Caroline turned out to be! It's surprising that no one else close to her realized how imbalanced she truly had become. I can't imagine losing a child to such a selfish and demented individual. Fifteen years isn't nearly enough time to serve for such an elaborate and evil plot being carried out , which resulted in Rachel's murder. I feel so bad for her family.

She was only 20 yrs old so I’m also curious why her family members weren’t able to notice the warning signs if there were any.

Probably because this happened back in 1999. In Australia we are legally adults at 18, not 21 as in America. Back in 1999 it was quite normal to finish school at 15/16 years old and be out in the workforce earning a living. Caroline worked full time, was described as a bit of a quiet loner by work colleagues. She lived alone in her inner city apartment. She was somewhat estranged from her family due to her mental health issues. Look for a book called “Perfect Victim” it’s a book written by Rachel’s mother and explains a lot more in depth what happened. The girls were not close at all as was reported in the video and had in fact not seen each other in over 5 years. Rachel’s younger sister Ashleigh was friends with Caroline’s younger sister and at one time had lived on the same street as each other but Rachel’s mother mentions it a few times in the book that the families were not close at all and hardly knew each other. Caroline had babysat for them once, so even the title is a bit click-baity

@@carlyc9104 an adult is legally 18 years old in america, i am from america and i know this. 21 is the legal drinking age which does not coincide with the legal age of adulthood

@@21stcenturystrengthethos47 oh, sorry, my mistake. Both times I have been to the us it sort of looked like at 18 you weren’t really allowed to drink or gamble and most were still completing their schooling and living with their parents. In 1999 in Australia by the age of 20 one would be expected to be finished their schooling/training and be working full time and living away from their parents. It’s all changed now and most kids are still at school until they are 18, even the ones who want to learn a trade now have to complete grade 11 & 12. Back in 1999 you could leave in grade 10 if you wanted to

The family burying the blue shoes along with her was so touching and heartbreaking at the same time 💔. Please always tell your parents at the very least where you are going and with whom no matter how close that person is. You never know when your sworn enemy is pretending to be a friend.

Your storytelling skills have got my 71 year old mother hooked! I had to set her up her own RU-vid account and she only follows three people. You, and two very opposite style channels! Thanks from me and my mom for giving us something new to bond over.
