Dr. Elizabeth Yardley: I really enjoy listening to your commentary while watching World’s Most Evil Killers that I just started watching. Getting into the minds of killers has to be a real challenge. Hoping for you to have a successful career.
Dr Elizabeth Yardley, I just want to say I really enjoy watching shows that you are in, you make them very interesting. You have an incredible accent and you are unbelievably beautiful. I would love more than anything just to hear back from you.
I agree with Marc, you are the main reason why I watch THE MOST EVIL KILLERS, over and over again. I wish more than anything, is that you could do more recent murders and such. You are one of many special people in this crazy world, that tries to make our world safer and give us a better future. My dream is to one day be able to meet you, along with other Criminalogist that I truly Idolize So very thankful that you are in our world. Love from all the way across the world in a little town called, Sadieville, Kentucky. My name is Heather.
Dr. Yardley,
Thank you for all you do. I wanted to know if you have any audio books availability.
Hi Elizabeth,
I’m sure we went to primary school together in Kingsthorpe! We moved to Redditch in 1984 and list touch before year 5. Your mum was our Brown Owl.
I was just watching her and thought is this the Lizzy Yardley from my school?
I, like many others, have total respect for you, not only on Murders that Shook the Nation, but also in other documentaries with the same subject(s). Right from the beginning, I have found your way of describing various things, easy and very informative to follow.
I look forward to hearing about your next endeavour!
Regards
Wendy Bilton
Mrs. Yardley,
I am very in awe of your knowledge, perspectives, and how you articulate the narratives on the crime show “World’s most evil killers”. I watch it daily here in the United States, and several of the narratives of the Trevor Hardy serial killer case, and the serial killer “Levi Bellfield case. Talk about madness, well I wish you continued success in your endeavors.
I respect your work and your articulations of the various subjects. One question that I have is whether you have any books for future references on serial killer subjects. I would like to be in the know!
Thank you so much,
David J. Craighead III
Hi Dr. Elizabeth Yardley,
I like many have watched over the last few years. I pose a question I hope you can help me with, either by suggesting a book or any ideas you may have.
I was abused in every way possible, physically, psychologically, and corporal every day, up until I was 15 years of age. I was then placed in foster care, where the foster father used me. So I have tried to understand why did I not go on to do drugs or alcohol, and I am not a murderer, (honest). There is so much work done on abused children who go on to abuse their children, and abused children go on to commit awful crimes.
I wonder if you have any ideas, or want to network with me to research information, thank you for taking the time to read this.
Elizabeth Yardley,
Total respect…Personally, I think you are well-spoken and very knowledgeable. You certainly deserve respect. I love your interviews and listen with awe…brilliant! Nice to listen to someone who obviously cares. Thank you.
