Man Charged With 1996 Murder Of College Student Kristin Smart | NBC News NOW
Justice finally served.
Just need her body 🙁
So she can rest in peace
I wont believe justice is served until he is convicted, he has been arrested for this b4 and got off
Not yet
She’s throwing up all the hoods
Ignorant
@Alphahusky 1 Still funny
Maybe not the best video to post it on.
She said.
💁♀️🤚🏾🤏🏽🖖🏼🤷♀️🤙🏽🤙🏽🖐🏽👆🏾👋🏾🙆♀️
💨The INTERPRETER is over reacting. She is supposed to keep the same calm energy as the SPEAKER. She is doing too much. Look at her facial expression. My cousin is deaf and I showed this video to him and he agreed. 🤷♂️
Law enforcement never stops investigating homicide.
Only if you are white.
Unless the killer is one of their own.
She must me speaking in Spanish
(So much passion in her words)
Signing is highly expressive. It gives context.
I think the reason is called sign language.. it’s probably because …you’re using signs as a language..
I can speak spanish too! Taco Supreme, burrito, burrito, mucho grande chihuahua.
Where’s the evidence tho
Evidence will be disclosed in the discovery and trial
i always say, ” WHATEVER YOU DO IN THE DARK, WILL ONE DAY COME TO LIGHT ” Your time is coming as well Trump ! It’s only a matter of time !
@Christopher Gridley “It’s a Matter of Time” by Elvis Presley. Listen to it, and love it.
And I can’t wait💯
@La Kicia Hughes you’ll be disappointed boo boo
@Christopher Gridley typical liberals
What was the podcast
The podcast is Your Own Backyard and Chris Lambert is the host.
When you can teach your child anything……you choose this avenue. Hate is taught just like love and respect. The latter needs to be the lesson, not the former.
Exactly what does your comment mean?
@Doris Noel Something about teaching kids how to ride a bike I think.
Glad the family finally has some answers, and those responsible finally have to pay. No statute of limitations for murder, at least my state got something right…
State? About time we get rid of those things.
@BULELENG’AR Seriously? You want people arrested for jaywalking 25 years after the fact? There has never been a statute of limitations on murder (and other serious crimes) ANYWHERE, but that statute exists for a very good reason.
Oh sorry you misunderstood. I was not clear. States… not statutes. Get rid of this archaic divisive idea. No states… no provinces. And no faces on the money…
You know what i mean.
Never liked that Statutes of Limitations… if they are guilty hang em high.
Trump 2024
She was so young and pretty. F***** cowards!
I want to know what Trump is up to, why don’t you talk about what he is up and what he is doing. I love Trump
Love trump too
Who cares!!
If you love Trump you don’t know what love is.
My God, why do these clowns have to have a weirdo sign language freak stand next to them, I can’t stand it, and if you’re deaf you use the CC closed caption feature.
Job well done Gentlemen. Another Bad guy off the street.
What happen to public executions.
Agreed. Public floggings would also calm things down quite a bit. They don’t have a problem with car vandals in Singapore anymore!
Ask Derek Chauvin.
Also, if you confess Jesus is Lord, believe God raisedHim from the dead, you will be saved. Romans10:9
What is the podcast?? I am curious. I am seriously shocked that they were able to solve this murder almost 25 years later!!
The name of the podcast is “Your own backyard”. It’s excellent, definitely worth listening to, and I’m sure there will be another follow up episode after this.
I’m an older adult and binged. Gotta listen to it.
And much credit to this young guy who made the podcast.
Let’s not forget to give credit where credit is due- Thank you Chris Lambert for your tremendous courage and work in creating the podcast. If it wasn’t for you, I’m not sure we would be where we are at today with this case 🙌
A staged case
@Jack Truth Johnson anagram for ‘a staged case’
Aged sea cats
What podcast?
@Joanne Devine it’s called ‘your own backyard’ check out the Instagram page too. This guy is the reason Paul Flores is sitting in jail !
@Joanne Devine it’s called Your Own Backyard by Chris Lambert!
F’in perps
Sad..
Meanwhile in Philly, some chick got $50,000 bail for execution style murder
Women never get the same punishment as men . They always get lighter sentences .
So happy they caught these low life’s! Bless the family and may she RIP
that police star iz 7 point….4 8 12 16 a perfect circle my four theory link in my bio….just like the 7 deadly sinz the 8th wuz about bad luck
When you can teach your child anything……you choose this avenue. Hate is taught just like love and respect.
Have fun in jail homie!
Wondering how they’re settling in to their new home.
Slowest justice. RIP Kristin Smart
Finally justice shall be served
I hope there do the same for my black brothers and sistres who waskill thesame way
Police can’t do anything without help from the community involved. As long as any community has the outlook ‘….don’t talk to the po po…” there are a lot of crimes that are not going to be solved. Knowing a person has an illegal gun (or has committed a crime) and not reporting them to the police makes you just as guilty of any crime they commit with the gun, including shooting innocent people, as if you had pulled the trigger yourself. You can’t have it both ways: de-police de-police!!! Oh no, someone is shooting at me…… call the police, call the police!! Gotta make up your ever-loving mind dude.
To really solve problems such as these it will take something much greater than man’s abilities. God promises to bring an end to evildoers. See rev 21:3,4. Just like this case taking time for pieces to be put together God has a time when he will take action. Psalm 37 ‘just a little while longer and the wicked one will be no more’. Only God is worthy of putting trust and hope in.
@Dragon Master Okay, but the original comment said nothing about de-funding the police lmao
How old are the hedges and shrubs in their yard. Dig them up.
Thank God the arrests were finally made. I sincerely hope and pray that Kristin can be found and finally laid to rest. Her family needs closure, and they deserve it. My heart goes out to the entire Smart family. 💗🙏🏻💗
🌹 KRISTIN
that deaf interpreter is really necessary? why not one for the blind?
💨The INTERPRETER is over reacting. She is supposed to keep the same calm energy as the SPEAKER. She is doing too much. look at her facial expression ( overboard)🤷♂️
@1HAND SMOKE obviously ur not familiar with interpreters for the deaf. Her facial reactions are normal and many, if not all, interpreters use similar facial expressions…. u should see the gentleman who interpreted Beyoncé’s concert — he was amazing! Dance moves and all.
@Love Junkie
OBVIOUSLY you should SPELL OUT “ ur” 👉You’re. 🤦♂️You lost me at that
DRUG JUNKIE
@Love Junkie
BEYONCÉ CONCERT… That’s different that’s why it’s called a CONCERT 🙀 The ENTERGY is supposed to be there.
Not TRUE. I literally showed this video to 6 professional DEAF PEOPLE and they all AGREED. The interpreter is going overboard.
@Love Junkie
SHUT YOUR FACE!!!!!!!
JUST STOP🛑
HER BODY LANGUAGE DOES NOT MATCH THE GUY WHO IS TALKING
CNN JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO. MOST INTERPRETERS HAVE BEEN OVER REACTING LATELY SINCE THE PANDEMIC.
I bet they killed a black man for this crime
Fo Sho
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Why do ASL translators have to be so animated? Ever since the Nelson Mandela funeral they’ve all been getting into it with facial expressions and movement.
That said: Justice may take time to come, but it doesn’t mean it won’t come eventually.
Exaggerated lip motions and facial expressions make it easier for deaf people to both focus on reading lips and still taking in the sign language.
I’ve followed this case, along with a few others, for a very long time. Some of you understand the frustrations in seeing the accused walk free for all these years. I hope they’ve finally obtained evidence that’s significant enough to get a solid conviction. I wonder if part of the arrest strategy is to get one to admit everything in exchange for the other to be let go. I sincerely hope this family can finally get justice for this young lady!!!!!
Thank you for not giving up on the case. Even if it takes decades like this one (25) to solve. I hope all cold cases will be solved and justice will finally be served for the victims and their families.
And thank chris for his outstanding dedication and work
Now if they could find Susan Powell.
I look forward to the day that someone can use technology in a way that allows the man to be caught in the “Girl’s, down the hill” case.
Is this the two young girls who were walking the trail and disappeared?
@Teysa Tabb yes, and they took a picture of a guy just before they died. Police are still looking for him.
@Holly Cross ph my god still nothing ? I don’t understand they were on Snapchat how is the location not clear and that photo is bad but it’s not horrible :/
@Teysa Tabb Yes the Delphi murders. the location is 100% clear they just need the ID of the guy
Omg me too!
The woman doing the sign language looks like she could be her mom
Plot twist- that is Kristin Smart
I just saw the Unsolved Mysteries episode with Kristin Smart
I didnt see that but listened to podcast. It was excellent. Those familiar with case also refer to the podcast as excellent source.
@glorioskey What podcast is it
Huge thanks and respect to Chris Lambert, creator of the ‘Your Own Backyard’ podcast. Because of Chris’ efforts, this 25yr cold case gained international attention and his works really helped crack the case. I pray that Kristin’s family can finally find some form of closure and we all hope and pray that her remains are found, so that she can finally be peacefully laid to rest. Great job Chris, thank you for your hard work and dedication! For those not familiar, check out Chris’ podcast, “Your Own Backyard”. From someone that was born, raised, and still living in the area, I wish blessings and love to the Smart family.
Chris Lambert should be commended by the POTUS for this arrest!
Biden would forget what he’s doing 10 times during the ceremony but I agree
@Bobby C put a lid on it.
@Malcolm Berman oh shut up everyone knows it’s true. they barely show the guy on TV because he keeps screwing up and talking nonsense.
The guy in the middle back needs a better mask. Looks like he’s gasping for air. Lol.
..lol 😒.. sweat sometimes causes masks to stick to the face making it harder to breath.
@The Materialistic Review it has no ventilation is why. Yikes. I’d want a new one. Distracting. Lol.
Poor guy is suffering…
He’s a mouth breather, that’s why
I’m here to report the links for pornography and prostitution that were added as comments.
These people show a depraved indifference for humanity for the business they are involved with,
and for using comments for a video that’s about the tragic murder of a young woman.
I wonder how can you live with this, for 25 years, in your head? 🤷🏻♂️ Good job for those who worked at this case and brought closure to the family!
Is crazy! Youd think one would give it up. But so many think they can get away with things. Also some can rationalize anything . Somewhere along the line I read or heard that the dad said she deserved to die. Now that’s some sick rationalizing.
Slavery lasted 400 years
@Theblack Gods and is still going on just not publicly
@Roger M there is no connection with the subject…
How does one even sleep knowing they commited a horrible act?
They knew 25 years ago that he’s the one that done this there is no excuse for it taking this long for them to arrest that lump of 💩
Knowing and being able to prove it and get a conviction sometimes are two things.
@YouTube Censors true
Missing white woman syndrome
only took them 25 years
we both know they are framing that guy
Do you remember the phrase “Better LATE than NEVER “ 💨
Nothing good happens after midnight.
Sounds fake, they just wanted to pin it on him after 25yrs of not finding anything…
they’re about 25 years too late – I don’t think they have any new evidence they just wanted to/needed to make the arrest
They found some of their trucks I think in 2019??? Or 2020?
👊 JUSTICE 👊
Diversity is our greatest strength, amirite????
So, the man who killed her still had evidence of the murder in his house, 25 years later? Did I understand that right?
Yes
@GorgeouslyReal T.V. That is crazy. I am glad he got caught, but one would think he might have ditched the evidence after all these years. Oh, well. I’m not sorry for him at all. Rest in peace, to his victim.
I’m arshly James very amazed with this awesome transformation in my life after using Dr Eseigbe on you tube supplement for the infertility ….I’m finally free now
I’m Alison with the help of Dr Eseigbe I’m finally cured of skin disease after suffering for over 15years now with several outbreaks from hospital to hospital but all to no avail until i saw a testimony about you doctor Eseigbe YouTube channel and now I boldly say ,thank you dr_eseigbe continue sharing your testimony,so others people can be cured too….
Actively? Listening to the podcast, and it tells a very different story about how active the sheriff’s office was about searching for Ms. Smart.
What’s the podcast? They didn’t name names and I wanna listen to it lol
Hello NBC News
Props to the investigation team for not giving up on her and the case!!
We was killed on my first birthday. Rest In Peace
So, it took 25 years to get to the truth because the cops were too lazy to interview all the possible witnesses? Hmmmm….
When is that D.C. cop going to be charged with the murder of Ashli Babbit?
I just watched a video on a black man that spent 44 years on a crime he didn’t do, freed last year….and this person has walked free for years, this should hv bn an open and shut case…Im sorry her family had to endure this due to people having privilege and the justice system not doing their job when it needed to be done.. may her family finally hv peace 🙏🏽
can we knock it off with the sign language thing
Why? Are deaf people not allowed to attend a press conference? Or be the actual press for that matter?
@Sarah Dore can deaf people not read?
@Space Catboy That looked like an in person press conference to me. What would they read?
Or what if a reporter attending is deaf? How would they report on what they never heard?
@Space Catboy I’m sorry sign language or inclusivity is offensive to you
Better late than never I guess
JUSTICE SERVED!! THANK GOD!!
Not at all. the man that did it was free for 25 years after he committed the murder.
The criminal has been enjoying freedom all this time? disgusting.
Television is scripted all actors you see playing thier roles this fake case is no different from the rest
Outstanding work Cops – NOT! 25 years JESUS. SHAME. ACAB
American military if possible like me, I want to be in the American army or military, if the American military can not be with women for decades, America is in danger, there is no courage to take risks, for America’s continuation, America is better, Indonesia cannot lead itself , this will be bad for America, I don’t want to be disobedient to America, Facebook ade munandar munandar is diligent in reading on the facebook wall ade munandar munandar is very important don’t be lazy to translate it into English, I need to act very firmly … for human rights Humans, American property rights, positive rights, positive activities, regrets will come later, not now, I can’t help America if I don’t come back to my home in Indonesia, if Indonesia doesn’t like to see America happy, continue America It’s better, I have a comment before on msnbc abc and nbc youtube american news and other american news is very important amer if in danger
I cant stop watching the dude at the back breath his mask in and out 🤣

HOPE 💙🙏
Salvation is found in no one else, no other name under heaven given among men where by we must be saved. Saved from the punishment of sin. I’m trying to offer people Hope in absolute perfection !!! No more pain, dying, lies, decay, depression, anxiety, crying, sickness, rotten food, broken things , etc… offering the Hope of Eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ. We must be willing to turn from sin and to believe the Gospel, Mark 1:15 to receive Jesus forgiveness. He who does the will of God abides for eternity 1 John 2:17

1996 people killed, new record?
Imagine how the guy at Kinko’s must have felt lol having to make a blow-up oversized version of that arrest picture. 🤣
VACCINES NO STOCKS POLITICS IS GOING on in hyd _india is it scam?
15 12
But the Chauvin trial continues nationally.
is the sign language ladies facial expression normal ?
Yes. The facial expressions provide context. It’s kind of like using grammar.
That sign lady real passionate got me laughing 😂
I don’t understand sign language….as my wife flicks me the bird. Okay, some.
The policeman said they found evidence in his house, which would now be 25 years later?
