seen by friends and hotel. They.

3:02

Were there for a party for the

3:25

3:27

And. Bloody Closing. The. Groundskeeper contacted

items to Jesse Bart. After

visiting his residence and Paddington, The.

3:37

Police found evidence of struggle. A

3:39

spent Forty caliber As W cartridge

3:41

case on the kitchen counter. Bullet

3:44

holes in the kitchen loss. And.

3:46

A large amount of blood. In the

3:48

kitchen. And. In a bedroom? The.

3:51

Police started to suspect that both the

3:53

Mark Condon. May have done something

3:55

terrible. To. Jesse and look. Here's.

3:58

what the police found during the course their

4:00

investigation. On Friday, February

4:02

16, 2024, Bose signed

4:05

out a police-owned handgun from

4:07

a police station in South Sydney. The

4:10

spent cartridge case found in

4:12

Jesse's residence matched

4:14

this weapon. Bose indicated that

4:16

he needed the gun for an event

4:18

involving protest activity, which was scheduled

4:21

for Sunday. This particular event

4:23

was patrolled by police officers who

4:25

were hired privately, like the

4:27

organizers would pay the government to have

4:29

the police officers there. On

4:32

the next day, Saturday, February 17, Bose purchased

4:35

a surf bag from a store in

4:37

the Miranda suburb of Sydney. That

4:39

same day, he deleted his

4:41

social media accounts. On

4:44

Monday, February 19, at about 9

4:46

a.m., video surveillance captured

4:48

Bose exiting a black SUV

4:51

in Paddington, not far from

4:54

Jesse's residence. At 9.50 a.m., Jesse's

4:57

neighbors heard gunshots at his home but

5:00

did not immediately report this

5:02

to the police. Four minutes later,

5:04

an emergency call was made from the

5:06

phone of Luke Davies. A

5:08

man could be heard saying, Get out, blank

5:11

off, before the call

5:13

disconnected. The police tried to find

5:15

out what happened but could not locate the

5:17

phone. Later that same day,

5:20

Bose returned the firearm he had taken on

5:22

February 16 to the police station, purchased

5:24

a second surf bag, and

5:27

rented a white Toyota minivan from

5:29

the Sydney airport. The minivan was

5:32

captured on video surveillance in front

5:34

of Jesse's home. On Tuesday,

5:36

February 20, Kyle had a conversation

5:38

with an acquaintance and allegedly made

5:41

partial admissions about some type of

5:43

homicidal activity. Jesse's phone

5:45

was used to send text messages to his

5:47

roommates, saying that he was moving

5:49

to Perth in Western Australia

5:52

and asking them to sell or throw

5:54

away his belongings. The

5:56

police believed that Bose sent these messages.

6:00

Wednesday, February 21, the day the

6:02

police started their investigation, Beau

6:04

and a female friend drove to a rural property

6:07

in Bungonia, which is two

6:09

hours southwest of Sydney. Along

6:11

the way, Jesse purchased an angle grinder

6:13

and a padlock from

6:15

a hardware store. Beau used the

6:17

angle grinder to cut a padlock on the

6:19

gate to the property, drove onto

6:22

the property in his rented van,

6:24

and remained there for about a half hour.

6:27

Before he left, he put the new

6:29

padlock he purchased on the gate. The

6:32

police said the female friend was not involved

6:34

in Beau's activity. She didn't know

6:36

what he was doing. At 11

6:39

PM, Beau purchased weights from a department

6:41

store. The police believe that he

6:43

returned to the rural property after this. On

6:46

Thursday, February 22, Beau

6:48

drove to the residence of a fellow

6:50

police officer named Renee. Her

6:53

residence was in Newcastle, which is two hours

6:55

north of Sydney. Beau asked

6:57

Renee for a garden hose to clean out

6:59

the rented van. Renee

7:01

stated that Beau appeared to be sleep deprived

7:04

and he was rambling. He indicated

7:06

that the van was full of blood and

7:08

needed to be cleaned. In addition,

7:11

he said something about how bodies were floating in

7:13

a dam and they wouldn't sink.

7:16

The police stated that Renee was not involved in

7:18

the crime. On Friday, February 23, at

7:20

10.39 AM, Beau

7:23

turned himself in at a police station in

7:25

Sydney. He was charged with two

7:28

counts of murder. The police searched

7:30

for the bodies of Jesse and Luke without

7:32

success. On Tuesday,

7:34

February 27, Beau drew the police

7:37

a map of where he disposed of

7:39

the bodies. This led

7:41

to the discovery of the remains

7:43

of Jesse and Luke in Longonia.

7:46

The bodies were found behind a mound of dirt

7:48

on a gravel road. At the time making

7:51

this video, Beau remains in jail awaiting

7:53

trial. Now moving to my

7:56

analysis. Here are my thoughts on

7:58

a few areas that stood out to me in this case. Item

8:00

number one. People who

8:02

knew Bell found him to be mysterious

8:05

and bizarre. He earned between

8:07

eighty and ninety thousand dollars a year as

8:09

a police officer, but his spending

8:11

habits were highly inconsistent with

8:13

that salary. He drove

8:15

luxury vehicles, took lavish vacations,

8:18

and owned expensive clothing and accessories

8:21

made by designer brands. With

8:23

no clear source of wealth, people

8:25

started to wonder if he had a secret

8:28

boyfriend. Oh told people that he was

8:30

a celebrity blogger and money came

8:32

with that job. Even

8:34

at his most popular point, Oh

8:36

was not really a well-known celebrity blogger.

8:39

He was by no means famous, but perhaps

8:42

he wanted to be. For example, Oh

8:44

had a history of exaggerating how close

8:46

he was to celebrities. He

8:48

told his friends that he owned a swimwear

8:51

brand and he claimed

8:53

that he had been trained for the close

8:55

protection unit. This unit comprises

8:57

police officers who guard dignitaries

9:00

and celebrities. Item number

9:02

two. In the time leading up

9:04

to his death, Jesse Bard told his friends that

9:06

he was being stalked and his residence

9:08

had been broken into multiple

9:10

times. In August

9:12

2023, an intruder accessed Jesse's

9:15

phone and deleted his contacts

9:17

before leaving. The police

9:19

of course believe this intruder was Bo.

9:22

This behavior is consistent with a resentful

9:24

stalker. This type of stalker

9:27

intimidates and terrorizes a lover to

9:29

regain power and control. Sometimes

9:32

resentful stalkers transform into

9:34

predatory stalkers, which is

9:36

something that may have happened in this

9:38

case. Item number three. Oh's

9:41

attorney has indicated that mental health will

9:43

be a factor in his defense, but

9:46

did not reveal any specific mental health

9:48

symptoms. There's not much

9:50

information available about Bo's mental state,

9:53

although there was one report indicating he

9:55

was confronted by a senior officer at

9:57

a police station while reminiscing

9:59

a lot. alone. This is

10:01

unusual, but certainly not evidence of

10:04

mental illness. Some of

10:06

Beau's behavior appears to be consistent

10:08

with disorganized thinking. Perhaps

10:10

he could make the argument that he didn't know

10:12

what he was doing. For example, it

10:14

doesn't make sense that he invested so much

10:16

energy in hiding the bodies, only

10:19

to implicate himself in the

10:21

murders. For the most part, however, I think

10:23

Beau is going to have a challenging time convincing a

10:26

jury that his mental health

10:28

symptoms fully explained his alleged

10:30

crime. The main problem for

10:32

Beau is the premeditation part.

10:35

For example, he removed a gun owned

10:37

by the police and returned it after the

10:39

murders. He took ammunition from

10:41

a shooting range and replaced the cartridges that

10:43

were used in the alleged

10:45

crime. Beau purchased a surfboard bag before

10:48

the murders and another one afterward. He

10:51

rented a van and later cleaned it out with

10:53

a hose. He purchased an angle

10:55

grinder to gain entry to a rural property

10:57

and a padlock to conceal this entry.

11:00

And Beau was frustrated when weighing down the bodies

11:02

in water didn't work, so he moved

11:05

the bodies to another location.

11:08

It is reasonable to believe that Beau knew that

11:10

his alleged behavior was wrong and

11:12

he was trying to escape responsibility.

11:15

Item number four. This case featured

11:17

a few people who had no involvement in the

11:19

crime but who failed to demonstrate a

11:22

sufficient level of critical thinking skills.

11:25

For example, the female friend who

11:27

accompanied Beau in the white van should

11:29

have realized that something was amiss. She

11:31

rode in this van with Beau and there was

11:33

a blue tarp in the back. He drove

11:35

to a remote area and cut through a padlock

11:38

with an angle grinder. When he

11:40

returned, the tarp was not in the back of the

11:42

van anymore. The

11:44

police reported that this was a long

11:46

time female friend. Didn't she

11:48

notice that some of Beau's behavior was bizarre

11:50

or out of the ordinary? Is

11:53

this something he did on a regular basis? Jesse's

11:56

roommates also disregarded pretty obvious warning

11:58

signs. They entered Jesse's residence

12:01

after the murders and saw that

12:03

it was disorganized. There were

12:05

red stains on the floor, a surf bag,

12:08

and a blue tarp. They thought

12:10

that the red stains were beet juice that

12:12

Jesse had spilled. I'm curious

12:14

as to what they made of the bullet holes in the

12:16

kitchen wall and the spent cartridge case

12:19

on the counter. Did they think

12:21

that a beet fired the gun? Or maybe the beet

12:23

was an intruder who was shot, like

12:25

it was unable to beat someone to the

12:27

draw? Maybe the roommates missed

12:29

the bullet holes and the spent case, but

12:32

even so, the circumstances warranted

12:34

further investigation. This

12:36

demonstrates how far it is from people's

12:39

minds that someone they know would be

12:41

involved in a serious crime, whether as

12:43

a perpetrator or as a victim. When

12:46

a problem is inconceivable, clear

12:48

evidence of the problem tends to

12:50

be ignored. Item number five, what

12:53

do I think happened in this case? This

12:55

is just a theory, my opinion. Beau

12:58

had traits of vulnerable

13:00

narcissism, like being vindictive,

13:02

insecure, petty, self-centered, impulsive,

13:04

irresponsible, and having a sense of

13:06

entitlement. He was not willing

13:08

to tolerate losing his sexual relationship with Jesse

13:11

and decided to murder him. When he

13:13

arrived to commit the murder, he discovered that Luke was

13:16

there, so he killed him as well. I

13:18

don't think that Beau planned on this because

13:20

he had only purchased one surf bag before

13:23

arriving. Beau worked diligently to cover

13:25

up this crime, but the same

13:27

personality characteristics which led to the

13:29

crime also interfered with

13:32

concealing it. Now moving to

13:34

my final thoughts. This murder

13:36

case is unusual in the sense that both

13:38

Beau and Jesse had careers that placed them

13:41

in the spotlight. But as far

13:43

as the crime itself, the motive was

13:45

not that out of the ordinary. It sounds

13:47

like Beau was a resentful and predatory

13:49

stalker who refused to take no for

13:51

an answer. The most obvious warning

13:53

sign that Jesse had available was the

13:55

stalking behavior, but there's no way he

13:58

could have predicted that Beau would have escalated.

14:00

to murder. Jesse's romantic partner

14:02

Luke did not have access to any

14:04

warning signs unless Jesse told

14:06

him something. Luke was murdered

14:08

for being in the wrong place at

14:11

the wrong time. He tried to call the

14:13

police for help, but the wrong police

14:15

officer was already there. If

14:17

Bowe is in fact guilty, this case

14:20

illustrates the level of depravity

14:22

and determination he maintained. Most

14:24

killers, who are serious about getting away with a

14:26

crime like this, would have waited

14:29

upon seeing another person with the

14:31

victim, but Bowe is not going

14:33

to let anyone stop him from

14:35

getting his revenge. This

14:44

has been true crime psychology
