00:01Koneka Jenkins
00:02Late on a Friday night in September 2017, a hotel camera in Rosemont, Illinois, quietly
00:08picked up a girl in a denim jacket stumbling out of a crowded hallway and into an almost
00:12empty corridor.
00:14A few hours earlier, 19-year-old Koneka Jenkins had arrived at the Crown Plaza Chicago O'Hare
00:20with friends for a birthday party, the kind of room party that lives half in reality and
00:25half on Snapchat Live.
00:27She worked in nursing homes, hung out on the west side of Chicago, and that night she
00:31was just supposed to drink, dance, and go home with everyone else.
00:36Instead, those same cameras would end up showing her wandering, alone, through the back rooms
00:41of a hotel that didn't really seem to notice her at all.
00:46On the party footage, you see dozens of people squeezed into a hotel room, phones up, music
00:51loud, and Koneka drifting in and out of frame.
00:55Then, the hotel CCTV picks up the handoff.
00:58She leaves the elevator unsteady on her feet, bumping into walls, one shoe missing.
01:04While her friends argue about where she went, Koneka leans on railings, staggers around corners,
01:10and pushes through a heavy door into the service areas she was never meant to reach.
01:15The last known footage shows her in a deserted hotel kitchen, stainless steel everywhere, lights
01:21humming, no staff in sight.
01:23She moves past stacked chairs and prep tables, then disappears off camera in the direction
01:29of the walk-in freezers.
01:31Hours later, her mother is begging hotel staff to check the building, while security mostly
01:36scrolls cameras and says she'll probably show up.
01:40She doesn't.
01:42Koneka is finally found inside a walk-in freezer, dead from hypothermia, after staggering into
01:47a part of the hotel that might as well have been a maze.
01:51The lawsuit, the protests, the conspiracy theories, those all come later.
01:57What the cameras show is simpler and colder.
01:59A drunk teenage girl getting more and more lost, while the building keeps working around
02:05her.
02:07Darren Pincill.
02:08Early January 2019, Surrey, England.
02:12A commuter train, fluorescent lights, and that particular dead morning silence, where everyone
02:18just wants to get to London.
02:20On one of those seats sits 51-year-old IT consultant Lee Pomeroy, with his teenage son, heading into
02:27the city like a thousand other dads.
02:29A few carriages away, 36-year-old Darren Pincill, with a history of violence and a knife in his
02:35pocket, is about to turn an ordinary train into a crime scene.
02:40None of that is obvious when the CCTV first sees him.
02:44He just looks like another annoyed commuter.
02:47It starts stupidly small.
02:49On the cameras, you see Pomeroy approach, irritated that Pincill is blocking the aisle.
02:54They argue, shuffle between carriages, passengers trying not to make eye contact.
03:00At one point, Pincill is caught on audio saying he's going to kill this man.
03:04But no one really moves, because people argue on trains all the time, and then sit back down.
03:09Until he doesn't.
03:11In less than half a minute, that overhead camera sees Pincill draw a knife and launch forward.
03:18Lee backs away, blocking, grabbing, his son trapped behind him.
03:23Other passengers flatten themselves against the walls, trying to slide past this chaos.
03:29In 27 seconds, Pincill stabs Lee 18 times, one blow slicing his neck so badly, there's
03:37basically no coming back.
03:39The train emergency stops at Horsley Station.
03:43Paramedics sprint in, but Lee dies on that floor while his son watches.
03:48Pincill flees, helped by his girlfriend, who later buys clippers so he can change his appearance,
03:54and searches news reports about the stabbing.
03:57CCTV and police body cam footage eventually close in on him.
04:01This same man, who just tore through a stranger, now steps out of a house with his hands up,
04:07saying,
04:07Yes sir, yes sir, like he's harmless.
04:10He gets life, minimum 28 years.
04:13And the cameras that caught a petty argument turning into a frenzy,
04:18become exhibit A for how fast everything can go wrong,
04:22when someone like that brings a knife onto public transport.
04:27Irina Zarutska
04:28On a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2025,
04:32the CCTV shows what every city loves to advertise.
04:36Diversity.
04:37Normalcy.
04:38People heading home.
04:40One of them is 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska,
04:45headphones in, scrolling her phone after work.
04:48She'd already escaped one horror, the Russian invasion back home,
04:52and was building a new life in the U.S. with low-paying jobs and small plans
04:57that suddenly mattered a lot.
05:00The camera angle over her carriage doesn't know any of that.
05:03It just records a young woman in a hoodie, minding her business.
05:08Behind her sits Declos Brown Jr., in his mid-30s,
05:12restless in that way you notice for a second and then ignore.
05:16He has a history of mental health problems
05:18and paranoid ideas about his body being controlled by man-made material.
05:24On the footage, he shifts, fidgets with his clothes, glances around.
05:30Nothing dramatic.
05:31It's the kind of background movement you'd never remember if nothing happened.
05:36No one switches cars.
05:37No one calls security.
05:39It just looks like public transport.
05:43Then it doesn't.
05:44In one motion, Brown stands, leans over the back of Irina's seat,
05:49and drives a knife into her neck and face.
05:52She jerks forward, hands flying to her throat,
05:56sliding out of the seat into the aisle.
05:58Other passengers only react when they see him move away
06:02with blood on his hands and clothes.
06:04On camera, most of the carriage just freezes.
06:08A few people stare.
06:09One man eventually moves toward her.
06:12But for long, awful seconds,
06:14almost nobody really does anything.
06:17Like their brains can't process what they're seeing.
06:20The train pulls into the next station.
06:23Medics run on board.
06:24But Irina is already dying on the floor.
06:27Brown is arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
06:31And suddenly, everyone cares about the long list of warning signs
06:35that didn't stop him riding that train.
06:37For Irina's friends and the Ukrainian community,
06:41the cruel punchline writes itself.
06:43She makes it out of a war zone
06:45only to be killed by a stranger on a commuter line in a safe city,
06:49with the whole thing watched forever by unblinking cameras.
06:55Odessa Carey Jr.
06:57In April 2019, CCTV in a quiet Northumberland town
07:02starts to pick up a familiar figure.
07:04A woman in her mid-30s with messy hair,
07:07heavy coat,
07:08and a plastic shopping bag that never leaves her hand.
07:11That woman is Odessa Carey Jr.,
07:14long known to mental health services for severe psychosis.
07:18On paper, she's supposed to be managed, monitored, helped.
07:22In reality, she bounces between supported housing
07:25and the home of her 73-year-old mother,
07:28Odessa Carey Sr.,
07:30who keeps letting her in because that's what mothers do, right?
07:33One day in early April,
07:36Odessa Jr. visits her mother's house in Ashington.
07:39Whatever happens inside, the cameras don't see.
07:42What they do see is what comes after.
07:45Odessa walking through ordinary streets
07:47with that same bag heading toward an allotment.
07:50Later testimony says she opened that bag
07:53in front of a family friend
07:54and kissed what was inside on the forehead.
07:57It wasn't until after police discovered
08:00her mother's decapitated body at home
08:02that anybody understood what they'd actually seen.
08:05When officers enter the Ashington house on April 8th,
08:09they find Odessa Sr. beaten to death and decapitated.
08:13The head is missing.
08:15Suddenly, all that routine footage
08:17of Odessa Jr. walking around town
08:19turns into a map of a crime.
08:22Cameras at streets, shops, and properties
08:25in Ashington and Newcastle
08:27help detectives trace her route
08:28and eventually locate the mother's head
08:31in a sink at another address linked to her.
08:34Every grainy shot of that bag
08:36becomes unbearable once you know what it holds.
08:39In court, there is no real doubt she killed her mother.
08:42The question is whether she's criminally responsible.
08:46Missy Beavers
08:49At 3 a.m. on April 18th, 2016,
08:53a church in Midlothian, Texas
08:55should be the quietest place on Earth.
08:58Instead, its security cameras
09:01catch something straight out of a low-budget horror movie.
09:04A stocky figure in full tactical gear,
09:07helmet, vest-marked police,
09:10heavy boots clomping on tile.
09:12This person isn't responding to a call.
09:16They're alone,
09:17drifting from room to room
09:19in Creekside Church of Christ
09:20like they have all the time in the world.
09:23In a few hours,
09:2545-year-old fitness instructor
09:27and mom of three,
09:29Terry Missy Beavers,
09:31is supposed to show up
09:32to teach a boot camp class here.
09:34She's already told her Facebook followers
09:36the session will be indoors because of storms.
09:39On CCTV,
09:41the intruder pokes through doors,
09:43smashes random windows,
09:45and scans offices
09:46with this weird,
09:48almost lazy efficiency.
09:50It's unclear whether this is a staged burglary,
09:53or someone rehearsing a plan.
09:55They're carrying tools
09:57that could double as weapons.
09:58They never speak.
10:00They never take off the police gear.
10:03Around 4.16 a.m.,
10:05Missy pulls up outside,
10:07hauling exercise gear through the rain.
10:10There's a blind spot
10:11between the main entrance
10:12and the area where she's later found,
10:14and that's the part
10:15every armchair detective hates.
10:18The cameras see the killer
10:19before she arrives
10:20and her body after the attack,
10:22but not the murder itself.
10:25She's discovered brutally beaten
10:27with multiple puncture wounds
10:29consistent with the tools
10:30that intruder was swinging around.
10:32The tactical ghost
10:34just vanishes off camera,
10:36leaving behind nothing
10:38but weird gait,
10:39a slight limp,
10:40and an outfit that screams authority
10:43while hiding everything else.
10:45Years of investigation,
10:48gait analysis,
10:49and online obsession
10:50haven't turned that silhouette
10:52into a name.
10:53Police release short clips
10:55hoping someone recognizes the walk.
10:57No one has publicly.
11:01Barry and Honey Sherman.
11:03On a winter night in Toronto
11:05in December 2017,
11:07the security cameras
11:09tucked under the eaves
11:10of big houses in North York
11:11do what they always do,
11:13watch empty sidewalks.
11:15On one of those recordings,
11:17an anonymous figure
11:19walks along a route
11:20near a billionaire's mansion.
11:22Steady pace,
11:23no obvious rush.
11:25A few days later,
11:27inside that mansion,
11:28real estate agents
11:29find 75-year-old
11:30pharmaceutical tycoon
11:32Barry Sherman
11:33and his 70-year-old wife,
11:35philanthropist Honey Sherman,
11:37dead by their indoor pool,
11:39belts around their necks
11:40attached to a railing.
11:41At first,
11:43some investigators call it
11:45a possible murder s**t.
11:47The cameras quietly disagree.
11:50As detectives dig in,
11:51they comb through
11:52all the private CCTV
11:54from neighboring homes.
11:56There isn't a clear shot
11:57of the crime,
11:58but there is that one person
12:00captured from the side
12:02walking in the area
12:03at the approximate time
12:04they think the Shermans
12:05were killed.
12:06This is the silhouette
12:08threading past driveways,
12:10timestamps blinking
12:11in the corner,
12:12the empty road
12:13stretching out ahead.
12:15Police study the stride,
12:17the way the arms swing,
12:18the fact that this person
12:20avoids certain routes
12:21like they know exactly
12:22where they're going.
12:24Eventually,
12:25Toronto police
12:26do something rare.
12:27They release a short clip
12:29of that walker
12:29to the public
12:30and formally call them
12:31a suspect,
12:32not just a person of interest.
12:35Inside the house,
12:36evidence suggests
12:38Barry and Honey
12:39were bound and killed
12:40elsewhere before being
12:41staged by the pool,
12:43turning that one CCTV
12:44glimpse outside
12:45into the closest thing
12:47we have to someone
12:48approaching or leaving
12:49a double murder scene.
12:52Lawsuits fly as media
12:54fight to unseal
12:55search warrant documents,
12:56while investigators insist
12:58that revealing too much
12:59about what the cameras
13:00captured could blow the case.
13:02Years later,
13:03no one has been charged.
13:05a faceless figure
13:07threading through
13:08a rich neighborhood
13:08where nobody expects
13:10violence to look like this.
13:30No doubt,
13:32no doubt,
13:33our world will live
13:33this upside down,
13:35the planet done talking,
13:36things are turning around,
13:37against you and me,
13:38him and her,
13:39the mother earth,
13:40just unleashing the wrath
13:41that humanity's worth.
13:42We know what time it is,
13:442020 year of the punishment.
13:46The COVID hit hard
13:47and it's done for the never-been.
13:48The years just settle in.
13:49I wonder what is coming,
13:51gotta be honest here,
13:52this shit is fucking.
13:53Aight, come on,
13:54you don't stop,
13:55you don't stop.
13:56What's happening in the world today?
13:58You don't.
