The place her body was found is still the same.
The narrator doesn't need to be in the video. Should just use the same stock photos all the other channels use.
This should never of been allows to be on u tub
Why do killers always target the most beautiful girls 💔😭🥺😖😱
They lived next door to my work friend in Rockdale . I was gutted when I found out what those animals did to Anita . They grew up in housing commission and had no stable up bringing. No excuse for brutal murder though . They did not value human life . I wonder if they ever regretted their gruesome actions . Mist likely not !!! RIP Anita . You are in a peaceful safe place now 🙏😇
This literally broke me. 💔
Heard about this a years ago. Anita was simply walking home, just like many women across the world.
We don’t need to teach women to protect themselves, we need to educate our sons to be better men.
RIP Anita. Sorry on behalf of men across the world. 😢
The bloke getting abused in prision, it seems you don't have an issue with that ?. Also, stop using Monsters. They were young kids. Maybe investigate why they did it and prevent others crimes. Putting people in prision for life doesn't solve problems and it will never give you protection.
Does the voice over sound like Johnny Depp?
The month flied quickly tomorrow's july as well
Thank you so much ❤
I was a naive first year highschool student when our teacher read out to the class what had been done. I had to ask what some of the words meant. Id never heard that such things were possible. And the community pressure for a return to the death of penalty wasnt just people protesting, it was seriously considered by members of parliament. Such was the loathing for the maggots found guilty
At first I thought the face cover was a little weird, but I appreciate your compassionate storytelling, empathizing with Anita for not wanting children after a miscarriage shows you're compassionate.
I was 2 yrs old
I can't tell if Casefile podcast plagiarized this script, or vice versa. It's almost identical.
This is so chilling to listen to again, I have never forgotten about her. Hearing the suburb names that i know so well mentioned in a crime Vlog gives me chills.
I recently met a person who had access to all autopsy, images and court documents. Being retired I asked her questions about this case. She told me that if people new the true depravity and sickening torture they inflicted on her, then us true crime buffs would never read anything ever again. My friend told me the ptsd amongst all involved in the investigation led to many suicides. An those mongrels never had a moment’s peace in gaol an guards were happy to turn a blind eye. I’m so glad the community never knew it all, idle gossip and guessing was nothing in comparison to the truth.
you know what sent me over the edge when he said "dragged over a barbed wire fence" idk why but that finished me may this poor woman rest in peace
That is sick! 29:34
Nonsense. This happened to them and that happened. Created to make EVERYONE feel better about the FACT that a Death Penalty is bad !!!!!
I remember hearing about this years ago. This is one of the most horrific deaths because it wasn't quick, she suffered.
Blacktown does not look dangerous after I visited in 2000. Its unbelievable because you think you are safe.
I was only 4 years old at the time. Anita's story shaped many of the lives of teens and young women growing up in the late 80s to late 90s. It made our parents and ourselves so much more cautious.
The lessons learnt by us from her death likely saved lives. Anita is very much remembered today ❤
Why would Miss X have received death threats??
I remember watching this story on other documentires cause i HATE the world of Anti-Socials and it happens often here in 🇦🇺🦘🪃🐨
But when it comes to different evidence being changed around since we weren't there
i wonder if the part about Michael Murdoch being the one who cracked and told all
And ESPECIALLY after all the details about him being Traves's closest friend
And WORSHIPPING Traves copying Everything Teaves did the whole 🐒 see 🙉 do thing going
The the point where they both shared blood using the 🔪 to cit the palm of their ✋✋
It fills me with so much joy and satisfaction to read what these filthy demons went through in prison. I hope they continue to suffer the same events, daily, for the rest of their lives.
The narrator sounds like Jhonny Depp every time I hear him tell a story I feel like I'm in a convertible on my way to Vegas (fear and loathing in Las Vegas)
Australia needs the death penalty
Unspeakably tragic
Im Aussie and i was 17 when that happened it was terrifying! REST IN PEACE Anita x
She would have been 64
Wow they don’t make teenagers like that anymore
This happened in the X and Pearl documentaries
The monsters are still in jail, we as Aussie's hope they stay there until they are ready for their coffins💯

What??! 👀👀👀
Is this the guy that does the 911 calls
I was a nurse and slightly younger in Melbourne…Never gave it a thought. I was young. my Mum constantly warned "remember Anita Cobby!"
why can't you show you're identity
I can't believe they let the dad identify her😢 if john wouldn't do, i think the son/brother in law should've done it. No parent should ever see their child like that.
It looks like you poured apple cider shots 😂 🥂
Absolutely horrifying
Sounds like Anita should’ve stayed with her husband and had his kids like he wanted.
every time someone gets unalived it's because they "started their day, as usual"
i'll never do this again…
the Autopsy findings gave me chills
This case changed me. I can't watch the video, its too Horrific. I still have nightmares about it. Afterwards I became more aware of my surroundings. Never wore my nurses uniform home from work. And carried items to protect myself. This case (and the Virginia Morse case which was as horrific) terrified every woman in Australia 😢
