The Unspeakable Murder of Savanna Greywind [Early Premiere]

Early Premiere is here! This is exclusive interrogation footage too, which is actually a channel first. A bit of a warning: It's a rough case, even for this channel. I would say "viewer discretion", but who am I talking to, right? I would recommend taking a moment to steel yourself though. It really is as bad as crimes get within reason. 

Thanks as always for your patience and support. Like I mentioned in previous commentaries and on Discord, this one was plagued by technical issues in addition to an international move. The next one I have in mind is a bit different but should, god willing, be less time consuming, so hopefully no "sorry for the wait" messages.

No doubt? After watching some you tube videos you are 100 percent certain of what happened despite never seeing anyone in person or knowing anything about either person’s life. No one except the 3 adults there know what happened with any certainty. It’s all conjecture for entertainment careful reading of captions aside…

Gotta say Matt that you can really stick the landing at the end with your videos. Especially with such a harrowing case like this one. Kudos. 👍🏻

Kurt Narten

This was your best video yet!

John Mckay

Great video as usual. Maybe it's a stupid question but I've seen some AI tools that people use to improve the quality of video and audio of old footage, I was wondering if you looked into that or if it's too much trouble? In any case, thanks a lot for your work, really appreciate the stuff that you are doing.

And yeah, on the serious side, it’s a statement that just makes one go “What!?” Will is honestly such an interesting case study on his own, at times seeming so defeated, then randomly getting confident, and then doing things like this, almost as if he’s trying to win over friends at the pub or something. I mean, TERRORISM!?

Andrew Sykes

LOL. I can legitimately hear that in your voice, as a quick one second cutaway, maybe just the one-liner “that’s *not* the definition of terrorism” Not that I wouldn’t have enjoyed it, but I think you made the right call — letting him finish his thought and let the the viewer take in the lunacy of what he just said.. I think it was perfect. It made me be like “am I tripping or did he just say..” and then the narrative cut in at just the right point, to validate that very thought 👏

Andrew Sykes

Something I thought about including for the longest time but eventually passed on because it was to snooty was: He's actually wrong about "that's the definition of what a terrorist is" Maybe by the loosest, informal usage you could argue it's technically valid - the same way all dictionaries now accept "literally" as an enhancer. But if you're trying to be at all proper about it, "terrorist" necessarily means one who commits violence in order to further some sort of political/ideological cause.

Matt Orchard

Thanks for the corrections - when there's that many subs, some typos are inevitable so it's great to have eyes on it :)

Matt Orchard

My eyebrows just about shot through the ceiling when he mentions “terrorism” holy shit 🤣🤣

Andrew Sykes

What a story. Looking forward to hearing your discussion with the prosecutor. There is no doubt in my mind that Will was/is not guilty of conspiring to kill Savanna, so I would like to hear the argument against him. Unless Will is as good of an actor as Brooke, I think the most likely scenario is that he walked into Savanna deceased or nearly deceased and decided in that moment he was going to give up everything he could to protect Brooke, even past the point in that interrogation room when he knew there was nothing left that he could do. That being said, I would not be surprised to learn Will was heavily involved in covering up the murder of Savanna after coming home on the day she was killed. Brooke may have even been telling the truth that it was Will who was responsible for strangling Savanna to death. It's with that level of passion and dedication from Will that I believe such an obvious pair of suspects were able to mislead investigators for so long. Noticed a minor error in the captioning at 1:12:25, where Brooke says "It is whatever! Yes it [is]!" I also believe at 1:18:25 Will is saying "I love Brooke so much it wouldn't even matter if we ever had a baby." Nonetheless great content and analysis as always. Looking forward to the next, no matter how long it takes!

Dear lord, what a grim story. One you’d prefer to believe would only be seen on something like Law and Order SVU. That said, this is a phenomenal piece, your best work yet!

Andrew Sykes

Part of me wants to wait until the next upload. That way, I’ll have a double feature 🫣😌

Sushiforbrainss

Bloody hell. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a clean up job actually succeeding. I didn’t think it was possible to get rid of blood completely like that. That poor girl, it must’ve been the most horrific experience.

Matthew (Zei)

That's kind of how I look at it re Brooke. Speculative motives to lie notwithstanding, I just don't think you can trust her far as you can throw her, and you also can't put past her completely deranged and/or malicious reasoning that could lead her to lie on the stand. Will's version rings truer to me - but really, who knows. I talked more about that sort of stuff with the prosecutor on the case and will be uploading that conversation later in the week :)

Matt Orchard

Thanks! I moved to Sydney, where I lived for most of my 20s, so it's sort of like returning home really.

Matt Orchard

Not surprised this dude refers to women as "birthers"

LapisScarab

Brilliant work as always Matt. I'm curious about this international move?

TendieL

For me, Brooke lies so easily that the pendulum swings alllll the way to the other side. An overcorrection, perhaps, but I'd instinctiveIy discount whatever she says. The pictures of the child had me tearing up. I'm glad to see her (apparently) happy... but what a baggage she will carry.

Love your work, Matt! This timing is PERFECT too.

Amber Green

Oh yes I am so excited!! Thanks Matt!!
