I’ve been meaning to properly get into this case for quite a while, and I’m glad one of my fave ytbers is finally doing a series!
From what I’m seeing most of the Columbine related subreddits really like it. I’m about halfway and I like it so far.
What do you guys think? How do you think it will pan out? Did it cover what you knew from the early days?

On October 19, 2012, after a long and angry feud with her neighbor, 20-year-old Lee Anna Shiers, Melanie Jane Smith in a drunken rage, set fire to a pram left in their apartment’s communal hall, engulfing the apartment Lee-Anna and her family lived in. The fire would kill Lee-Anna, her 2-year-old niece, Skye Allen, and 4-year-old nephew, Bailey Allen, who were over for a sleepover with her son, and injury her 1-year-old son, Charlie Timbrell, and 23-year-old partner, Liam Timbrell
As first-responders rescued Charlie and Liam, Liam would tell them Melanie did this.
Charlie would die two days later from his injuries and Liam died two weeks.
Melanie would be arrested and charged with all five murders. She would deny she started or, claiming they were trying to frame her. However, she had a history of threatening to do arson on numerous occasions. She said she started fire to a pub after she was kicked out of it, she‘d say I’ll firebomb my place so my landlord won’t get rent, and even yelled through Lee-Anna’s and Liam’s letterbox: I’ll burn your apartment down with your kid in it! She was found guilty of the murders and sentenced to life imprisonment with a 30 year minimum tariff. It’s implied she‘d received a life order, if not for the fact Bailey and Skye weren’t in the building. From what I read, it stemmed that the judge noted she didn’t know the other two were in there.
The Prestatyn fire murders are considered one of the worst mass murders in Wales. This also made Melanie one of the few rare British female mass murderers.

On March 25, 1990, Julio González committed the Happy Land fire, one of the worst massacres in American history. The fire killed 87 people, 78 of them being Hondurans. Many of them came to the United States to celebrate Carnival. Julio was apprehended and charged with 87 counts of murder. In August of 1991 he was convicted and convicted of 174 counts of murder - the largest mass murder sentence given down at the time.
Surprisingly, many photos of the victims were/aren’t available, despite being victims of one the worst mass murders in the United States. I was able to find some of their photo through archives.
Here‘s 27 of them. Most of the victims were young people with ranging in age from their early 20s to their 30s. The youngest was 16 and the oldest was 48.
Pictures have their victims names underneath. The names below are the ones I couldn’t find their photo.
