Today’s true crime video takes us to Monday 5th May 1997 when 8 year old Jamie Lavis left his home in Greater Manchester in England to play with his friends. He was caught on CCTV that morning at a nearby bus station but then Jamie vanished and he would never be seen alive again. The community rallied around the family and one man, a bus driver called Darren Vickers, quickly came forward to say that was the last person to see Jamie before he disappeared. Vickers put himself right in the middle of the investigation including leading repeated searches for Jamie and making multiple TV and radio appearances but far more insidious that that was him ingratiating himself into the Lavis family home including eventually moving in. Little did Jamie’s parents know that they were sharing a home with the man who was responsible for their son’s disappearance and his murder. The evil of Darren Vickers a murderer who manipulated his victim’s family is truly disturbing. #truecrime #truecrimedocumentary #truecrimestories #truecrimeyoutubers #truecrimedocumentary2024 #horror #murder Evil among us is a channel which focuses on horrific serious cases from the UK and abroad with a focus on lesser known cases and serial murderers from around the world.
