- 0:48Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, Rebecca Aylward was a fourteen year
- 0:51Speaker 1: old girl living near Bridge and Wales. She was very
- 0:54Speaker 1: close with her mother and her younger siblings. She was
- 0:56Speaker 1: a model student and she was well liked amongst her peers.
- 0:59Speaker 1: That year, he began spending more and more time with
- 1:01Speaker 1: a boy in her grade, fourteen year old Josh Davies,
- 1:04Speaker 1: who like her, was a model student and had many friends.
- 1:07Speaker 1: In October of that year, Rebecca's mother asked her if
- 1:10Speaker 1: Josh was her boyfriend, and she said yes.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Even though she.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Knew her daughter was a bit young to be in
- 1:15Speaker 1: a serious relationship, she had spent enough time around Josh
- 1:19Speaker 1: to form a very high opinion of him. He was
- 1:21Speaker 1: incredibly kind and generous and protective of Rebecca, and so
- 1:25Speaker 1: she was happy for.
- 1:25Speaker 2: The two of them.
- 1:26Speaker 1: In January of the following year, Josh was allowed to
- 1:29Speaker 1: stay over for the weekend at Rebecca's house, and Rebecca's
- 1:32Speaker 1: mother remembers the two of them having such a good
- 1:34Speaker 1: time together, goofing around with Rebecca's younger siblings and painting
- 1:38Speaker 1: each other's nails. When Josh left at the end of
- 1:40Speaker 1: that weekend, he told Rebecca that it had been the
- 1:43Speaker 1: best weekend of his life. After he left, Rebecca couldn't
- 1:46Speaker 1: stop smiling.
- 1:47Speaker 2: She was in love.
- 1:47Speaker 1: But later that day, Rebecca received a very surprising text
- 1:51Speaker 1: message from Josh. He told her he didn't want to
- 1:53Speaker 1: be in a relationship with her anymore. Rebecca was crushed,
- 1:56Speaker 1: and she tried to get an answer out of Josh
- 1:58Speaker 1: as to why he wanted to break it off, but
- 2:00Speaker 1: he didn't give her one, and instead he began spreading
- 2:03Speaker 1: horrible rumors about her at school, and then he went
- 2:05Speaker 1: around to all of her friends and told them what
- 2:07Speaker 1: a horrible person she was. And so for the rest
- 2:09Speaker 1: of that school year, that's how it went. Josh just
- 2:12Speaker 1: continued to mercilessly bully Rebecca for no reason, and then
- 2:15Speaker 1: behind closed doors, Josh would tell his friends that he
- 2:18Speaker 1: not only hated Rebecca, that he wanted to kill Rebecca,
- 2:21Speaker 1: but none of his friends took it seriously. In fact,
- 2:24Speaker 1: one of his friends even told Josh that if he
- 2:26Speaker 1: ever killed Rebecca, he would buy him breakfast. Fast forward
- 2:29Speaker 1: to the end of twenty ten, when the next school
- 2:32Speaker 1: year began and Josh's behavior completely changed. Suddenly he was
- 2:36Speaker 1: being nice and caring to Rebecca and showing a genuine
- 2:39Speaker 1: interest in her. And Rebecca, even though this guy had
- 2:42Speaker 1: abused her for the past better part of a year,
- 2:45Speaker 1: she secretly still loved him, and so before long she
- 2:47Speaker 1: allowed him back into her life. About a month later,
- 2:50Speaker 1: on the evening of October twenty second, Josh sent Rebecca
- 2:53Speaker 1: a Facebook message asking her if she would meet him
- 2:56Speaker 1: the following day in the woods near their home. This
- 2:58Speaker 1: was a popular hangout spot her teens and so to Rebecca,
- 3:01Speaker 1: this constituted a date. This would be the first official
- 3:04Speaker 1: date since their breakup nearly a year ago, and so
- 3:07Speaker 1: Rebecca was excited and told him sure, I'd love to go.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And so the next day, Rebecca got up early to
- 3:12Speaker 1: put on her makeup and to get ready and get dressed,
- 3:14Speaker 1: and then after she was all dulled up, she said
- 3:17Speaker 1: bye to her mom and she headed out to meet
- 3:18Speaker 1: up with Josh. Shortly after she left, Rebecca's mom got
- 3:21Speaker 1: a bad feeling about this meetup, and so she called
- 3:24Speaker 1: her daughter and said, hey, stay on the phone with
- 3:26Speaker 1: me until you see Josh. And so the two of
- 3:29Speaker 1: them chatted until Rebecca made her way to the edge
- 3:31Speaker 1: of the woods, and then she says to her mom, Up,
- 3:33Speaker 1: I can see Josh. He's walking towards me. Everything is
- 3:36Speaker 1: totally fine. I love you and I'll see you later.
- 3:38Speaker 1: After she hung up the phone, Joshua walked up to her,
- 3:40Speaker 1: said hello, took her hand, and then walked her back
- 3:43Speaker 1: into the woods. That morning, Josh had changed his profile
- 3:46Speaker 1: picture on Facebook to be an image of the woods
- 3:49Speaker 1: where they were having this meeting. And then also that morning,
- 3:52Speaker 1: Josh had texted one of his friends and said, you'll
- 3:55Speaker 1: be owing me that breakfast soon.
- 3:57Speaker 2: And so Josh led Rebecca for quite a while deep
- 3:59Speaker 2: into the woods until he came to a stop.
- 4:02Speaker 1: And while they were stopped, Rebecca at some point turned
- 4:04Speaker 1: to look at something, and with her back to Josh,
- 4:07Speaker 1: Josh reached down, grabbed a very heavy rock and proceeded
- 4:11Speaker 1: to beat her to death. Afterwards, Josh called his friends
- 4:14Speaker 1: to see what they were up to, and they asked
- 4:16Speaker 1: him if he was still with Rebecca. And so Josh
- 4:18Speaker 1: is standing over this poor girl's lifeless body, and he says.
- 4:21Speaker 2: To them to fine with.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Later that day, Josh brought his best friend into the
- 4:26Speaker 1: woods and showed him Rebecca's body, and then less than
- 4:29Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, that friend would tell police what
- 4:32Speaker 1: Josh had done. During Josh's trial, he was completely unfazed,
- 4:35Speaker 1: completely emotionless, and was seen smiling for.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Much of it.
- 4:39Speaker 1: He said he didn't kill Rebecca, and in fact, he
- 4:41Speaker 1: tried to place the blame on his best friend, but
- 4:43Speaker 1: the jury saw through it. They found him guilty, and
- 4:46Speaker 1: he was ultimately sentenced to fourteen years in prison. To
- 4:48Speaker 1: this day, no one knows for sure why Josh killed Rebecca.
- 4:52Speaker 1: The only concrete motive anybody can point to is that
- 4:55Speaker 1: one of Josh's friends offered him breakfast if he went
- 4:58Speaker 1: through with the killing. Here is a photo of Josh
- 5:00Speaker 1: with Rebecca shortly before he killed her. At the start
- 5:11Speaker 1: of World War Two in nineteen thirty nine, the Kingdom
- 5:14Speaker 1: of Yugoslavia did its best to stay neutral and out
- 5:17Speaker 1: of the war, but on March twenty fifth, nineteen forty one,
- 5:20Speaker 1: they finally caved to Nazi pressure and signed a treaty
- 5:23Speaker 1: that aligned them with the Nazis. Two days later, Yugoslavian
- 5:27Speaker 1: military leaders, who were unhappy with this treaty, overthrew their
- 5:30Speaker 1: government and installed a new king in hopes he would
- 5:34Speaker 1: be able to keep their country out of the war.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But upon learning of this coup, Hitler issued a directive
- 5:39Speaker 1: that classified this new Yugoslavian government as hostile and ordered
- 5:43Speaker 1: its invasion. Ten days later, on April sixth, the Nazis
- 5:46Speaker 1: invaded Yugoslavia, and then eleven days after that, Yugoslavia surrendered.
- 5:51Speaker 1: But despite their speedy victory, the Nazis struggled to maintain
- 5:54Speaker 1: control of the country because of local resistance groups that
- 5:58Speaker 1: fought them at every turn. One of the primary resistance
- 6:00Speaker 1: groups was called the Partisans. Three months after the Nazis invasion,
- 6:04Speaker 1: a fifteen year old girl named Lipa Raditch and her family,
- 6:07Speaker 1: who all lived in Yugoslavia, were arrested by the Nazis.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Three of the men in Lipa's family were members of
- 6:13Speaker 1: the Partisans and so had attracted Nazi attention. Twenty days later,
- 6:17Speaker 1: as the family still sat in jail wondering what the
- 6:19Speaker 1: Nazis were going to do to them, undercover Partisans broke
- 6:23Speaker 1: into the prison and freed them.
- 6:24Speaker 2: After getting back home, Lipa.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Who was totally inspired by the bravery of these partisan warriors,
- 6:30Speaker 1: she immediately joined their group. As a partisan, Lipa would
- 6:33Speaker 1: serve as a nurse on the front lines, treating and
- 6:36Speaker 1: evacuating the wounded, and then at night she would participate
- 6:39Speaker 1: in direct combat against the Nazis. By nineteen forty three,
- 6:43Speaker 1: when Lipa was just seventeen years old, she had become
- 6:46Speaker 1: a very hardened warrior. In February of that year, Lipa
- 6:49Speaker 1: was leading a rescue effort of all these women and children,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and she was walking them up a mountain side to
- 6:54Speaker 1: a partisan camp when the Nazis came out of nowhere
- 6:57Speaker 1: and surrounded them on all four sides, and Liipa, who
- 7:00Speaker 1: refused to surrender, expended all of her ammunition defending these
- 7:03Speaker 1: women and children until she was eventually captured. The Nazis
- 7:06Speaker 1: moved Lipa to a nearby village, where they viciously interrogated her,
- 7:10Speaker 1: demanding that she give up the names and locations of
- 7:13Speaker 1: her partisan comrades, but Lipa refused. After three more days
- 7:17Speaker 1: of unsuccessfully trying to get Lipa to give up information,
- 7:21Speaker 1: the Nazis grew frustrated and sentenced her to death, and
- 7:24Speaker 1: so later that day, Lipa was marched out to a
- 7:26Speaker 1: tree situated next to a train station, and hanging down
- 7:29Speaker 1: from one of the branches was a noose, and under
- 7:32Speaker 1: the noose was a table. With her hands tied behind
- 7:34Speaker 1: her back and only wool socks on her feet, The
- 7:37Speaker 1: seventeen year old girl calmly climbed up onto the table
- 7:39Speaker 1: and stared down at the crowd as the noose was
- 7:42Speaker 1: being tied around her neck. The Nazi commander gave Lipa
- 7:45Speaker 1: one more chance to give up information about her partisan comrades,
- 7:49Speaker 1: and if she did that they would spare her life.
- 7:51Speaker 1: The Nazis had brought out a cameraman to document this execution,
- 7:55Speaker 1: because their plan was they would distribute the pictures all
- 7:58Speaker 1: over the country to scare the partisans into submission that
- 8:01Speaker 1: this is what happens if we catch partisans. And so,
- 8:04Speaker 1: with the cameras flashing away, Lipa famously turned to face
- 8:08Speaker 1: this Nazi commander and glared at him and said, those
- 8:11Speaker 1: who you're asking about will revealed themselves when they wipe
- 8:14Speaker 1: out all of you evildoers to the last man.
- 8:17Speaker 2: After this, Lipa was hanged.
- 8:19Speaker 1: The pictures of her execution were indeed distributed all around
- 8:22Speaker 1: the country, but there was no context or story. It
- 8:25Speaker 1: was just some partisan being executed by the Nazis. But
- 8:28Speaker 1: eventually Lipa's story about her defiance and her famous last
- 8:32Speaker 1: words found their way into the partisan camp, and suddenly
- 8:36Speaker 1: those images of her execution took.
- 8:38Speaker 2: On brand new meaning.
- 8:39Speaker 1: They no longer inspired fear like the Nazis were hoping.
- 8:42Speaker 1: They inspired courage and pride and a will to keep fighting.
- 8:46Speaker 1: When the Nazis discovered this is what that picture now represented,
- 8:49Speaker 1: they tried to destroy all of these pictures, but it
- 8:52Speaker 1: was too late. Lipa had already become a national hero.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Following her death, the partisans continued to fight the Nazis
- 8:59Speaker 1: and eventually held to defeat them. After the war was over,
- 9:02Speaker 1: the Partisans were recognized as one of the most effective
- 9:05Speaker 1: guerrilla forces in the entire war. On December twentieth, nineteen
- 9:08Speaker 1: fifty one, Lipa was posthumously awarded the second highest military
- 9:13Speaker 1: award in Yugoslavia, called the.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Order of the National Hero.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Here is the photo of Lipa glaring at that Nazi
- 9:19Speaker 1: commander after she's just told him her comrades are going
- 9:22Speaker 1: to kill him. In twenty seventeen, Stephen Weber was a
- 9:34Speaker 1: larger than life thirty eight year.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Old dj living in Louisiana.
- 9:37Speaker 1: That year, through a mutual friend, he met Kenisha Antoine,
- 9:40Speaker 1: who was a thirty eight year old lawyer also living
- 9:42Speaker 1: in Louisiana, and as soon as they met, they immediately
- 9:45Speaker 1: hit it off and began dating. They both had always
- 9:48Speaker 1: wanted to travel the world, but they never got around
- 9:50Speaker 1: to it because life always seemed to get in the way.
- 9:52Speaker 1: But now that they had each other and so therefore
- 9:54Speaker 1: had travel partners, they decided they couldn't wait any longer,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and so they created a bucket list of all the
- 9:59Speaker 1: places in the world they wanted to go and then
- 10:01Speaker 1: over the next couple of years they began checking places
- 10:04Speaker 1: off their list. In twenty nineteen, when Kanisha was going
- 10:07Speaker 1: to turn forty, they decided they needed to go somewhere
- 10:10Speaker 1: really special to celebrate, and so they checked their bucket
- 10:12Speaker 1: list to see where they hadn't gone yet, and they
- 10:14Speaker 1: ultimately settled on going to East Africa because there was
- 10:17Speaker 1: a resort there they had always wanted to stand. It
- 10:20Speaker 1: was called the Pemba Resort and it was famous for
- 10:22Speaker 1: their underwater room. They literally have a two story cabin
- 10:25Speaker 1: floating three hundred meters off the coast. Its main floor
- 10:29Speaker 1: is at surface level. It's got a beautiful couch that
- 10:31Speaker 1: looks out over the water, and you can take the
- 10:33Speaker 1: stairs up to the roof of the main floor where
- 10:35Speaker 1: there's another couch and you can stargaze and look out
- 10:38Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty degrees and there's no other cabins
- 10:41Speaker 1: out on the water.
- 10:41Speaker 2: You're completely isolated.
- 10:43Speaker 1: And then if you go back down to the main floor,
- 10:45Speaker 1: there is a ladder that goes straight down ten meters
- 10:48Speaker 1: into the master bedroom and it's completely underwater.
- 10:51Speaker 2: All four walls.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Have these huge windows that look out directly into the
- 10:55Speaker 1: beautiful Indian ocean. To stay in this cabin for one
- 10:58Speaker 1: night costs seven teen hundred dollars, and so Stephen and
- 11:02Speaker 1: Kanisha decided they would only splurge on it for one
- 11:04Speaker 1: night at the end of their Africa trip. So in
- 11:07Speaker 1: September of that year, the couple flew out to Africa
- 11:09Speaker 1: and for over a week they enjoyed sight seeing and
- 11:12Speaker 1: going on safaris and eating nice food.
- 11:14Speaker 2: And then at the end of their trip it was
- 11:16Speaker 2: time to head out to the underwater room.
- 11:18Speaker 1: So they got to the Pember resort on the mainland,
- 11:20Speaker 1: they checked in and then they loaded into a boat
- 11:22Speaker 1: and were brought out three hundred meters to their actual
- 11:25Speaker 1: cabin out on the water. And then after the boat
- 11:27Speaker 1: left them there, Kanisha got out her phone and began filming,
- 11:31Speaker 1: and she filmed as the two walked around and they
- 11:33Speaker 1: looked at the amazing view. They went onto the roof,
- 11:35Speaker 1: and they're looking all around and they're laughing because.
- 11:37Speaker 2: It's so unbelievably beautiful.
- 11:39Speaker 1: And then at some point they make their way down
- 11:41Speaker 1: that ladder down into the master bedroom underwater, and the
- 11:44Speaker 1: two just can't stop laughing because it was so bizarre
- 11:47Speaker 1: and just so incredible being down there.
- 11:49Speaker 2: There were fish that were.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Coming up to the glass and just staring at them.
- 11:52Speaker 1: They just couldn't believe what they were seeing. And then
- 11:54Speaker 1: at some point Stephen makes a joke that a shark
- 11:56Speaker 1: was coming, and Kanisha turns around and then sarcastically laughs
- 11:59Speaker 1: at him, says, okay, haha, yeah, shark, and then she
- 12:02Speaker 1: turns off the recording. A little while later, Stephen leaves
- 12:05Speaker 1: Kanisha in the master bedroom and he goes upstairs and
- 12:08Speaker 1: he puts on fins and then hops in the water. Kanisha,
- 12:11Speaker 1: who's still down in the master bedroom, is surprised when
- 12:14Speaker 1: she sees her boyfriend on the other side of the
- 12:16Speaker 1: glass out in the Indian Ocean, and so Kanisha just
- 12:19Speaker 1: grabs her phone and starts filming him because she knows
- 12:21Speaker 1: he's up to something. And then at some point Stephen
- 12:23Speaker 1: pulls out a plastic bag with a handwritten note inside
- 12:26Speaker 1: of it, and he presses it up against the glass
- 12:28Speaker 1: so she can see what it says, and so Kanisha
- 12:30Speaker 1: zooms in on the note, and you can tell from
- 12:32Speaker 1: the tone in her voice she really doesn't know what
- 12:34Speaker 1: he's doing. But then there's a pause in the video
- 12:37Speaker 1: as she's reading the note, and the note says, I
- 12:39Speaker 1: can't hold my breath long enough to tell you everything
- 12:41Speaker 1: I love about you, But everything I love about you
- 12:44Speaker 1: I love more and more every day.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Will you please be my wife? Marry me.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Kanisha is so astounded at this proposal. You can tell
- 12:51Speaker 1: she's almost crying. She's so excited, and so as she
- 12:54Speaker 1: just continues to film him, Stephen pulls out a ring
- 12:57Speaker 1: and he holds it up to the glass. And now
- 12:59Speaker 1: at this point, Kanisha is just beside herself. She couldn't
- 13:01Speaker 1: be happier. And so Stephen closes the ring box, he
- 13:04Speaker 1: grabs the letter, and he swims up out of you
- 13:06Speaker 1: back to the surface, and Kanisha turns off the recording,
- 13:09Speaker 1: turns around, runs to the ladder, and climbs up to
- 13:12Speaker 1: the main floor to give Stephen her answer that yes.
- 13:15Speaker 2: She would marry him.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But when she got up there, she looked around and
- 13:19Speaker 1: Stephen wasn't up there, and so she's.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Yelling for him.
- 13:21Speaker 1: She's looking around waiting for him to show up, but
- 13:24Speaker 1: he's not, and so she runs up onto the roof
- 13:26Speaker 1: of the main structure to get a better look around
- 13:28Speaker 1: to see where he went. But when she got up there,
- 13:31Speaker 1: she looked down and there's nothing but ocean. There's no
- 13:34Speaker 1: sign of Stephen anywhere, and so starting to panic, she
- 13:37Speaker 1: runs back down to the main floor at surface level,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and now she's frantically yelling for Steven, yelling for.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Him to come to the surface, where is he? Where
- 13:44Speaker 2: are you?
- 13:45Speaker 1: But there's no response. Kanisha is all alone out in
- 13:48Speaker 1: this cabin in the middle of the ocean. She has
- 13:50Speaker 1: no way to contact anyone on the mainland, and so
- 13:53Speaker 1: she has no idea what to do. She doesn't know
- 13:55Speaker 1: if she should just jump in the water to go
- 13:57Speaker 1: looking for him. She doesn't know if he's maybe playing
- 13:59Speaker 1: a joke on her. She just doesn't know what's happening,
- 14:02Speaker 1: and so she just reflexibly begins screaming out for help,
- 14:05Speaker 1: hoping that somebody will hear her and come help her
- 14:07Speaker 1: find Stephen. And after a little while, some voters not
- 14:10Speaker 1: too far away hear her yelling out for help. They
- 14:13Speaker 1: come over, and they, along with Kanisha, begin looking and
- 14:16Speaker 1: they ultimately find Stephen, but by the time they found him,
- 14:19Speaker 1: it was too late.
- 14:20Speaker 2: He had drowned.
- 14:21Speaker 1: The Details of exactly how he managed to drown or
- 14:24Speaker 1: exactly where he was when they found him are not
- 14:27Speaker 1: listed online. Here are the final photos of Stephen Webber.
