[0:05] Hello everyone, and welcome to Usual Disclaimer with Eleanor
[0:09] Neil, a true crime podcast where we crack open some of the most
[0:12] notorious cases in history. Given the topics that we'll be
[0:16] investigating, it goes without saying that this show comes with
[0:20] a content warning. The details can get a bit heavy
[0:23] and you might find some of the themes we discuss triggering.
[0:26] Listener discretion is strongly advised and check the
[0:29] description for some resources and further information.
[0:38] Today we're going to be talking about like a normal true crime
[0:41] case, but mixed with the dark web.
[0:44] This case is a channel member suggested case, by the way, so
[0:47] shout out to Ellie for suggesting this one.
[0:49] Today we're going to be talking about Peter Scully.
[0:51] But the dark web is one of my favorite things to research.
[0:55] So when I found out the dark web was kind of intertwined in this
[0:59] case, I knew I had to cover it because I don't get to talk
[1:02] about that stuff often. However, today's case that we're
[1:05] going to be talking about is very disturbing.
[1:09] Very, very, very disturbing. Like potentially the worst I've
[1:13] ever covered on my channel. However, I haven't added in
[1:18] details in this case. So I would say it's comparable
[1:22] to the Junko Ferruti case and the Hello Kitty murder.
[1:26] However, I haven't added in those details because the
[1:29] victims in this case are actually children.
[1:32] So if that's something that you personally don't want to watch
[1:36] or you can't handle listening to, that's completely fine.
[1:39] Just click out now. However, if you do still want to
[1:42] watch this video, just know that I haven't added in the details.
[1:47] I've just kind of outlined what happened in this case.
[1:50] This case involves human trafficking, serial rape,
[1:53] kidnap, abuse, torture, but that's going to be the last
[1:58] warning I give. Normally I give a warning in the
[2:00] beginning and a warning right before it happens, but because
[2:02] they are such strong themes throughout the whole video,
[2:05] that's the only warning I'm going to give.
[2:07] So yeah, like I said, today we're going to be talking about
[2:09] the case of Peter Scully. But before we do, I just want to
[2:12] give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no disrespect to
[2:16] anyone that I talk about in this video.
[2:17] This video is for educational purposes and everything that I'm
[2:20] about to say is just information that I have found on the
[2:23] Internet and I'm compiling into one video.
[2:26] So before we get into this video, I think you need a little
[2:28] bit of like background information on the dark web
[2:30] because I know a lot of you know what it is, but a lot of you
[2:33] might not know exactly what it is.
[2:36] The dark web, not to be confused with the deep web.
[2:39] Those are different things. So there's actually like 3
[2:42] levels to the World Wide Web. There is the surface web.
[2:47] That's what you do your online shopping on social media search
[2:50] engines. Everything that you can access
[2:52] on a day-to-day is on the surface web.
[2:55] And as I'm sure you can imagine, there are billions of different
[3:00] unique web pages on the surface web.
[3:02] You could try and click through every single one and you
[3:06] wouldn't even get through like 1/4 of them in your lifetime.
[3:09] There are so freaking many. And that is just on the surface
[3:13] web. And the surface web is actually
[3:15] only 5% of the whole web. So imagine how big the rest of
[3:21] it is that we don't access on the day-to-day.
[3:24] And the rest of that 95% is mainly deep web.
[3:29] Now there's a difference between deep web and dark web.
[3:32] So let me explain that. Now the deep web is, I don't
[3:37] really understand it because obviously none of us use it.
[3:39] I think it's mainly used by like professionals.
[3:42] It contains like everyone's medical records because like,
[3:47] you know, it's not safe to have them on the surface web and
[3:51] doctors all around the world might need to access one
[3:54] person's things. So they put it on the deep web.
[3:57] I don't know, I'm not a doctor, but I think there's like
[4:00] government E things on the deep web.
[4:03] God knows, just stuff that we're not allowed to see.
[4:06] And then you go even further than that and the last five to
[4:10] 10% of the World Wide Web is the dark web.
[4:15] And it is as scary as it sounds. On the dark web there is so much
[4:22] illegal activity going on, drug trafficking, there's stories of
[4:26] people selling their organs. A large percentage of the dark
[4:29] web is illegal porn, as you might expect.
[4:32] A lot of that is child porn and that is where a lot of
[4:36] paedophile communities congregate.
[4:39] However, it is very hard to track anyone on the dark web
[4:43] because to use it, you kind of have to have something to hide
[4:47] your IP address. So it's not a VPN because those
[4:50] aren't strong enough. You've got to use a whole like
[4:53] laptop software. Don't know, I've never done it.
[4:56] But it, it means that you can't get tracked because people on
[4:59] the dark web will try and steal your information.
[5:01] They'll try and track you down. But yeah, there's even worse
[5:04] stuff than what I've said on the dark web.
[5:07] I've heard stories of snuff films, which if you don't know
[5:10] what a snuff film is, it's where someone will kill another human
[5:14] being, murder another human being on camera and post it
[5:18] online. Sometimes they even live stream
[5:20] it live stream and murder. There's human trafficking.
[5:24] There's, like I said, paedophile rings, very illegal videos being
[5:28] made. I've heard stories of like hit
[5:31] men. You can hire hit men to go and
[5:34] kill someone for you. Horrible, horrible things go on
[5:37] on the dark web, and this video showcases some of the worst of
[5:43] the worst on the dark web. So our story starts Between 2012
[5:48] and 2014, a video began circulating on the surface web
[5:53] that clearly did not belong there.
[5:56] It didn't come from the surface web.
[5:59] It was a video that had somehow found its way out of the dark
[6:03] web and it began leaking into chat rooms and forums on the
[6:06] surface web, mainly in Europe. And this video, well it was more
[6:11] like a film. It was a four part film.
[6:14] Each part was around 10 to 15 minutes each.
[6:17] This film was called Daisy's Destruction, and Daisy's
[6:21] Destruction was regarded as almost an urban legend.
[6:25] Well, definitely an urban legend.
[6:27] Across a lot of the surface web, people were talking and they
[6:31] were saying that they'd heard about this horrifying video,
[6:34] this really disturbing film called Daisy's Destruction.
[6:37] However, none of them had seen it with their own eyes, so they
[6:41] didn't know if it truly existed. And people were debating whether
[6:44] this video was real or not, because who would be sick and
[6:50] twisted enough to create something like Daisy's
[6:53] Destruction? But unfortunately, it was real.
[6:56] This film was real. It was created on the dark web
[6:59] and it was sent to surface web forums.
[7:03] So now I'm going to kind of outline the things that went on
[7:06] in this video in Days of Destruction.
[7:08] And I'm not going to go into details.
[7:10] Like I said a million times, I'm just going to tell you the
[7:13] themes that were going on. It was a four part film with
[7:17] three adults in it, two women and a man, all torturing and
[7:22] raping three children. The children were aged 12/11 and
[7:28] the youngest one of the three was Daisy herself, and she was
[7:32] just 18 months old at the time. She was 1 1/2.
[7:36] She was a baby. So like I've said so many times
[7:40] in this video already, I'm not going to go into details about
[7:43] what happened in these videos. And that is partially because I
[7:48] don't know. I don't know what actually
[7:51] happened online. There seems to just be a lot of
[7:54] rumors. No one really knows exactly what
[7:57] went on. I do know a few of the things
[8:00] that happened, but of course, because they're children, I'm
[8:02] not going to say the details, but I've only read about four or
[8:06] five things that happened to these girls, like specific
[8:09] things. I know generally what happened
[8:11] to them. But for a video for a film
[8:14] that's like an hour long, altogether, there must have been
[8:17] way more than four or five things that happened to these
[8:19] children. And online, there's just a lot
[8:22] of hearsay because at the end of the day, a lot of people that
[8:26] have actually seen these videos, I'm not going to come forward
[8:30] and say what's on them because that would be admitting to
[8:34] seeking out and watching child pornography.
[8:36] So no one is really willing to give an accurate description of
[8:41] what happened in these videos. Of course, police aren't going
[8:43] to. They've had to sit and watch
[8:46] every single second of those tapes multiple times.
[8:48] But because the victims are children, they're not going to
[8:51] come out and say what happened. But the way that these films are
[8:54] described online by people that have seen multiple snuff films,
[8:59] multiple crimes, like police that have seen multiple things
[9:04] like this in their lifetime. They say that this is the worst
[9:08] thing that they have ever come across in their whole life.
[9:11] And like I said, some of the rumors that I came across while
[9:15] I was researching this video were some of the worst things
[9:19] that I have ever heard. And I do this for a living.
[9:22] I look up serious, disturbing crimes every single day of my
[9:27] life to make these videos. And some of the things that I
[9:30] read that could have potentially gone on in these videos were the
[9:34] worst things I've ever heard. So like I said, in these videos,
[9:39] there were two women and a man. And throughout the whole 4 parts
[9:44] of this film, the two women were masked so you couldn't see their
[9:48] faces, and the man's face is pixelated in every single shot.
[9:53] However, he is not on camera as much as the women, where he
[9:58] seems to have more of the kind of producing, directing role.
[10:03] So the video starts off, of course, with Part 1, and it's
[10:07] already horrendously sick and twisted and it only gets more
[10:12] and more worse and worse as the parts go through to Part 4,
[10:16] which is the absolute worst of the whole film.
[10:20] These videos did involve sexual abuse, a lot of sexual abuse,
[10:24] but also a lot of just physical torture.
[10:28] Physical abuse, just these three adults inflicting pain on these
[10:33] three children. And this is known as Hurt Car.
[10:37] It's a whole genre of film on the dark web and it is exactly
[10:42] how it sounds, Hurt Core. It's adults inflicting pain on
[10:47] children for their kind of viewing pleasure.
[10:51] Sometimes they get children to inflict pain on other children,
[10:54] but for some reason that is what these people want to see.
[10:58] This is Destruction found its way onto the biggest Hurt Core
[11:02] website forum thing on the dark web and this was called Hurt to
[11:07] the Core and this was where the majority of the community
[11:12] congregated. It became viral among that
[11:15] community. Again, I don't believe everyone
[11:17] saw it and that was because you had to actually pay to see this
[11:22] video. It was being sold for $10,000
[11:27] for this full hour long for parter.
[11:30] But I also believe that's why it was quite an urban legend
[11:34] because only a few people paid so only a few people could prove
[11:38] that they'd seen it. So then the rest of it was just
[11:41] rumors and hearsay. Although the video was so bad
[11:45] that even other paedophiles in the community on the dark web
[11:49] were denouncing this video and this whole community saying that
[11:53] they were sick and twisted. So before we carry on about the
[11:56] specific case like Daisy's destruction, I just kind of want
[11:59] to talk about the hurt core community in the dark web a
[12:02] little bit more. I don't doubt that it's still
[12:04] going on. Unfortunately, I believe things
[12:07] like that. We're never going to be able to
[12:09] put a 100% end to. However, the most notorious
[12:15] people in that community have been locked up, or at least the
[12:18] notorious people back in like 2014, 2015, they were all caught
[12:24] and locked up. The people that were like
[12:26] spreading this kind of things. Of course, there's still people
[12:29] out there that have viewed the these kind of videos and they
[12:33] haven't been caught because like I said, IP addresses are blocked
[12:37] and everything. However, the people that were
[12:39] creating the websites, the people that were creating the
[12:41] videos, well, the majority of them have been locked up.
[12:44] And one of these people, one of the most notorious ones, there's
[12:49] like 5 very, very famous ones. I'm not going to get into every
[12:53] single one of them because this is the Peter Scully case.
[12:55] However, one of those like 5 notorious ones was actually
[12:59] working in childcare during the day.
[13:02] He would work with children and then he would come home and
[13:06] watch the these videos of children being hurt and abused
[13:09] and sexually abused. Another one of these five
[13:12] notorious people in the community, one of them that
[13:15] owned their own website, like forum thing at actually tried to
[13:20] defend himself to police by saying that he was doing them a
[13:25] service. He was saying to police that he
[13:27] created that website to kind of lure in all these sick, twisted
[13:32] paedophiles that were going to come to watch these videos.
[13:35] And then he was going to take the whole thing to the police
[13:38] and be like, look, I've caught all these horrendous people like
[13:42] you can lock them up now. Of course he wasn't going to do
[13:45] that anyway. Within the whole kind of her
[13:48] call community, everyone knew everyone pretty much because it
[13:53] was such a small community. As you can imagine, that is not
[13:56] something that a lot of people are into.
[13:58] And while these people didn't know know each other because of
[14:03] course they couldn't share their real names or any kind of
[14:06] personal information because you can't trust anyone on the deep
[14:10] web or the dark web. So they would just kind of go by
[14:13] usernames, but everyone knew everyone by their usernames.
[14:16] And they kind of made these like sick friendships where they'd
[14:19] share things with each other. And there was like this
[14:22] hierarchy as well between like the Ogs, people that have been
[14:26] part of the community for a long time, people that had their own
[14:29] websites and then like the newbies that had just found out
[14:33] about the dark web and like the things that they could access
[14:36] and then just become part of the community.
[14:38] And people would even give shout outs to each other in the video.
[14:43] One guy even wrote another person's username on a piece of
[14:48] paper and got a child to hold it up in a video as a shout out.
[14:54] To this friend, it was essentially just another social
[14:58] media to them. A place where they could go and
[15:01] make friends and talk about their interests and things that
[15:04] they couldn't talk about with anyone else, but with all this
[15:08] other horrific stuff going on at the same time.
[15:11] And that just shows how messed up these people are, that those
[15:14] two elements can coincide. The kind of making friends and
[15:19] talking about their interests and hurt called pornography of
[15:24] children that those two things can exist in the same community
[15:28] and no one bats an eyelid. So anyway, back to the actual
[15:32] case that we're talking about. Like I said, the Daisy's
[15:35] destruction film leaked onto the surface web, which meant it got
[15:40] picked up by police almost immediately like the second it
[15:44] leaked onto the surface web. So the case was originally
[15:47] picked up by Dutch police, but because of the the severity of
[15:52] this case and because it was online and because it was on the
[15:55] dark web and because everyone's faces were covered in these
[15:59] videos, they could have been coming from anywhere.
[16:02] Of course, you can access the Internet anywhere in the world.
[16:05] So having just Dutch police on this case didn't make sense at
[16:09] all. So the case was spread pretty
[16:13] much worldwide quickly. Police theorized that the three
[16:16] children in these videos were from the Philippines and they
[16:19] were St. children. I hate that phrase, but that is
[16:23] the phrase that is used to describe these kids.
[16:26] They were orphans. And I don't know if it's a
[16:29] regular thing that happens in the Philippines or in this part
[16:33] of the Philippines at least. But orphaned children, if
[16:37] something happens to their parents or if their parents
[16:39] don't want them, they will just leave them on the side of the
[16:42] street. And these children grow up
[16:44] fending for themselves, just living on the side of the
[16:47] street. So this now narrowed down the
[16:49] search to the Philippines, most likely because the likelihood
[16:53] is, is that these three people, these three adults had found the
[16:57] children already in the Philippines because why would
[16:59] they find them in the Philippines and then take them
[17:01] out? So the likelihood is was that
[17:04] this video was created there. So now police had to try and
[17:08] identify or at least kind of narrow down who the three adults
[17:12] could have been. So the two women were noticeably
[17:16] more tanned than the man. The man was very, very pale
[17:19] white. And the girls also seemed quite
[17:22] young, not children, but maybe teenagers, late teenagers.
[17:26] And so they theorized that the 2 girls were probably also from
[17:30] the Philippines. As for the man, like I said, he
[17:33] was very, very pale white. And he was speaking English in
[17:37] these videos, and the girls would speak English back to him,
[17:40] but their English was kind of broken.
[17:43] So that was another thing that told police that they were
[17:45] probably not originally from an English speaking country, but
[17:49] that he probably was the man probably was because his English
[17:53] was perfect. They couldn't hear him too much.
[17:56] But the things that he was saying sounded like an English
[17:59] speaking person, you know, like English first language person.
[18:03] So the case was pushed more to kind of English speaking
[18:07] countries, Australia, America, England, everywhere like that.
[18:10] And they were like, does anyone recognize this accent?
[18:13] And Australian police came forward and said that's an
[18:17] Australian accent. So police in Australia started
[18:20] to think about who this man could be.
[18:22] They were looking at different cases, different unsolved cases,
[18:26] maybe potential runaways. And that was when they found
[18:29] something interesting that they could link, potentially link to
[18:34] this. Police in Australia at the time,
[18:36] in 2014, were working on a case of a man that had something over
[18:42] 70 different charges against him.
[18:46] However, he had completely fled the country before he could be
[18:49] charged with any of them. And this man was named Peter
[18:53] Scully. He was in his late 40s.
[18:56] He had a wife and two children. He lived in a nice suburb in a
[19:01] Australia. He just had a very normal life,
[19:04] a very normal career, a family man.
[19:07] He was very intelligent, he was wealthy, he was friendly.
[19:11] He was very popular among his peers and people in that area.
[19:16] Underneath all of that, he was a serial fraudster.
[19:20] Over the years, he had swindled over 2.6 million Australian
[19:26] dollars from different investors with this fake kind of property
[19:31] investment scheme. And it was later revealed, like
[19:35] way after this case, that he was also at the time running an
[19:39] illegal escort service with just one woman, a young Malaysian
[19:43] woman that later turned out to be his mistress.
[19:47] So he was this perfect family man by day and then by night he
[19:52] was this notorious criminal fraudster, someone that was
[19:57] unfaithful to his wife and and hired out his girlfriend as a
[20:02] sex worker. So anyway, around 2011, two 1012
[20:06] before the video was made, police found out that all of
[20:09] this was going on behind closed doors with Peter Scully.
[20:12] And so he was a wanted man. However, normally when it's
[20:16] something this serious, police kind of keep that quiet because
[20:21] he was obviously a flight risk and that is exactly what he did.
[20:25] When he found out that he was a wanted man, he fled the country.
[20:28] Police initially theory. That maybe he'd gone to Malaysia
[20:31] with his girlfriend. However, searching the whole of
[20:35] Malaysia was not really an option and so police at this
[20:39] point just felt really helpless as to what to do.
[20:42] They had no idea where he could be or where to even start with
[20:47] that. And then around 2 years later,
[20:49] this video pops up of a white Australian man and two young
[20:54] Asian women. And so police feared that maybe
[20:57] this was another one of Peter Scully's kind of escort
[21:00] services, escort schemes, whatever the hell he was doing.
[21:05] So police began making more and more connections between the
[21:08] cases. I don't know exactly what those
[21:10] connections were, but they quickly realized that they were
[21:13] on the right path and they had the right man.
[21:16] So police began looking for Peter Scully in the Philippines.
[21:20] And they had very few leads, but they were exhausting every
[21:24] single lead that would come in. And eventually, this LED them to
[21:28] one particular city, Malay Ballet City.
[21:32] I'm so sorry. I am so sorry.
[21:34] I did not say that right. It would take police years to
[21:37] track this man down. Daisy's destruction.
[21:40] The video was made in 2012, and they eventually found him in
[21:44] that city in 2015. That's three years that he could
[21:49] have been doing so much worse. But before we talk about the
[21:53] rest of the things that he did in that time, I just want to
[21:55] kind of round off Daisy's destruction part of this video.
[21:59] S police did eventually find 2 of the three children that were
[22:04] featured in that video. They found the oldest child who
[22:07] was 12 years old at the time of the video.
[22:10] And they also found Daisy who was the 18 month old baby.
[22:15] Daisy was alive and she was a toddler at this point.
[22:18] However, she sustained such awful injuries that she will
[22:21] have lasting physical damage to her body.
[22:25] I don't know exactly what that is, but she will never be fully
[22:28] healthy. However, the 11 year old that
[22:31] was featured in those videos wasn't with the other two
[22:34] children and I couldn't find exactly what happened to her.
[22:40] There were some sources that said some things and other
[22:43] sources said that she was never found, so I'm going to tell you
[22:46] what the sources said. However, just bear in mind that
[22:49] some of them also said she was never found, so I'm not sure how
[22:53] accurate this next bit is. Supposedly Peter Scully
[22:56] strangled this child to death when she could no longer handle
[23:01] the torture and the abuse, and then he buried her under the
[23:05] floorboards of his home. Now I have seen pictures of like
[23:09] a dug up floor in a home. But you know, you can't always
[23:14] trust articles on the Internet, especially when it's about dark
[23:18] web cases. A lot of people like to spread
[23:23] misinformation about dark web cases, I guess, because there's
[23:26] a lot of creepy pastas about the dark web.
[23:28] Anyway, I think a lot of people disregard how true and real this
[23:33] kind of stuff is. So yeah, I don't know what
[23:35] happened to that last child, but we do know that Peter Scully did
[23:39] murder her. However, the sources that said
[23:42] he did all of that, that I just mentioned also said that he
[23:47] allegedly filmed himself doing it to her and then put that
[23:52] video on the dark web. However, these three girls that
[23:55] were featured in Daisy's Destruction weren't Peter
[23:58] Scully's only victims. He actually had two more after
[24:03] that. So just for a little bit more
[24:04] context, Peter Scully did actually have two girlfriends in
[24:08] the Philippines, and these women are confirmed to have been the
[24:12] masked women in those videos. These girlfriends were 18 year
[24:16] old Kami and Alvarez and 19 year old Liesel Margalo.
[24:21] Both of these women grew up St. kids themselves in the
[24:25] Philippines and they were taken literally from the side of the
[24:28] road by Peter Scully himself when they were still children.
[24:33] And he brought them up in such a strange way.
[24:36] He was obviously grooming them, but he brought them up half like
[24:42] his child and half like his girlfriend.
[24:45] It was a very weird dynamic. And he would also sell these
[24:50] girls to other men for periods of time.
[24:53] So he would sell them as sex workers, but he would let them
[24:56] keep them for days at a time. And it was just a very, very
[25:01] confusing and messed up dynamic. And they were also Peter
[25:05] Scully's own sex slaves when they were at home, so they
[25:09] really never had a break from any kind of sexual abuse.
[25:14] And because he did call them his girlfriends and because he had
[25:17] groomed them so much and told them that this relationship that
[25:21] they had was special. And because they didn't have
[25:24] family, they didn't have parents, they'd never seen a
[25:27] healthy relationship before, so they didn't know that this
[25:30] wasn't what everyone else was going through.
[25:32] They thought that this was a normal relationship.
[25:35] And the girls have since said that they felt safe with Peter
[25:39] Scully, even though they would watch him literally commit
[25:43] murder in front of their eyes and abuse these children and
[25:47] these girls. They said they never thought
[25:49] Scully would have turned on them at any point.
[25:52] They said that the relationship that they had with him was
[25:55] different to the ones that he had with other girls.
[25:58] So around 2014, the end of 2014 or the beginning of 2015, Peter
[26:04] Scully turned to his girlfriend Alvarez, and told her that he
[26:09] wanted to adopt some children. He said he was really keen to
[26:14] help out a child that might need it, and so he was thinking about
[26:17] just getting some St. children off the street, just like he did
[26:21] with his girlfriends. And at first, his girlfriend
[26:24] Alvarez tried to kind of talk him out of it.
[26:27] She was like, well, why don't we just get my sister to come live
[26:29] with us? You can look after her instead
[26:31] of bringing in a street child that we don't know.
[26:33] But Scully insisted that they get 2 St. children.
[26:37] He wanted to bring up two more St. children just like he had
[26:41] done with her. He presented this idea to
[26:44] Alvarez and his other girlfriend as kind of this opportunity to
[26:48] change a child's life. He was going to bring them in
[26:51] and raise them and give them all these opportunities in life.
[26:55] Really, the only reason he wanted a street kid was because
[26:59] they have no family to notice them go missing.
[27:02] He knew his intentions. He knew that he was either going
[27:05] to kidnap this child for a long, long time and groom them and
[27:10] have them raised just like his other two girlfriends, or he was
[27:13] going to kill them. And he couldn't do that with
[27:16] Alvarez's little sister. So Peter Scully gave his
[27:19] girlfriend Alvarez very specific instructions.
[27:22] He told her to go out onto the street and not to come back
[27:26] until she found two young girls, specifically aged 9 and 12.
[27:31] And it didn't take long before she came across 2 girls, 2
[27:35] cousins those exact ages. And they were very poor St.
[27:41] children. And so she LED them back to the
[27:43] house on the pretense that they could have food, they could stay
[27:46] over, they could have breakfast the next morning.
[27:49] So Alvarez took the girls back to the house and just dropped
[27:52] them off there with Scully and left and and as soon as they
[27:56] were there they were given food just as promised and everything
[27:59] seemed fine. However, after they finished
[28:03] eating the food, Peter Scully told both of the girls to strip
[28:07] down naked and that was when he took pictures of them and posted
[28:11] them on the the dark web. He also took a video of the
[28:15] girls directing them to do certain things to each other,
[28:20] which is just horrendous. So so sad to think about, and he
[28:25] posted that video as well. After that he began abusing both
[28:29] of the girls, who of course began screaming and crying, and
[28:33] to stop them from making noise one of his girlfriends went and
[28:37] got a pillow and began smothering them to near death.
[28:41] The next morning when the girls woke up, Scully gave them more
[28:45] food for breakfast and then when they finished that he told them
[28:48] to go out into the back garden and begin digging.
[28:52] And as they were, Scully came out to the garden and told them
[28:56] that they were digging their own graves and that he was soon
[29:00] going to kill them and they were going to be laid to rest exactly
[29:04] where they were digging. And after five whole days of
[29:08] joining in this abuse and torture of these two little
[29:12] girls, Alvarez suddenly felt very remorseful when she saw
[29:17] that Peter Scully had put these two girls in dog collars.
[29:21] That was the thing that made her feel remorseful.
[29:24] And so she Unchained the girls from these collars and let them
[29:28] go. And luckily, these two little
[29:30] girls were brave enough to go to the police about what had just
[29:33] happened to them. And that was when they finally
[29:36] tracked down and arrested Peter Scully in 2015.
[29:40] They arrested him on suspicion of 75 different charges, and
[29:46] that included murder, rape, fraud, kidnap, human
[29:50] trafficking, and of course, police seized all of his
[29:53] electronics, computers, phones, everything to see the extent of
[29:57] what Peter Scully had been doing all these years.
[30:00] However, they didn't get very far with that.
[30:03] Suspiciously enough, the room that was holding all of Peter
[30:07] Scully's electronics, computers and everything set on fire just
[30:11] that one room. And unfortunately everything in
[30:14] there was burnt beyond recovery. They, there was literally
[30:18] nothing that police could do at that point and people believed
[30:21] that Peter Scully had bribed a police officer to set this fire
[30:27] in the room because who knows what police would have found on
[30:31] those electronics. And police in the Philippines
[30:33] are pretty known for being quite corrupt.
[30:36] So it's not out of the realm of possibility that that is the
[30:40] case because we know that Peter Scully was very, very wealthy.
[30:43] He did have a lot of money South.
[30:46] Now, police had absolutely no evidence to say that Peter
[30:49] Scully had a part in Daisy's destruction or any of these
[30:54] other forums or videos or anything like that.
[30:57] They couldn't prove it, unfortunately.
[30:59] However, what they could prove was that Peter Scully had
[31:03] kidnapped and abused and tortured these other two little
[31:08] girls for five days, and unfortunately, that is all they
[31:12] could charge him with. They couldn't charge him with
[31:14] anything to do with Daisy's destruction.
[31:16] However, he was charged with one count of human trafficking and
[31:19] five counts of rape, so he was found guilty in 2018.
[31:24] However, had he been found guilty any earlier than that, he
[31:29] would have been eligible for the death penalty.
[31:32] However, in the Philippines in 2017, they passed a law that
[31:36] rape was number longer grounds for capital punishment.
[31:40] Instead, Peter Scully was just given a life sentence and he is
[31:44] serving that I believe back over in Australia or they will be
[31:48] taking him back to Australia to serve it.
[31:50] I don't know if he's still in the Philippines now.
[31:52] However, one little interesting piece of information to kind of
[31:56] end this video on is that Peter Scully is actually rumoured to
[32:00] be writing a book from jail. And this book is like an
[32:05] autobiography. You know, like what celebrities
[32:08] write about their life when people are really interested in
[32:11] them and want to know their life story.
[32:12] Peter Scully is writing one of those about his life story up
[32:16] until now, up until him being sat in jail writing the book.
[32:20] So I don't know if he's going to go into detail about his crimes
[32:24] or if this is even true. This is a rumor.
[32:26] But if it is true, I really, really hope that book is never
[32:30] published. Or at least if it is published,
[32:33] I hope that he gets none of the profits.
[32:35] I hope it all goes to some sort of charity, because otherwise
[32:38] he's effectively just making money off of his crimes.
