Hello everyone and welcome to Usual Disclaimer with Eleanor Neal, a true crime podcast where we crack

open some of the most notorious cases in history. Given the topics that we'll be investigating,

it goes without saying that this show comes with a content warning.

The details can get a bit heavy and you might find some of the themes we discuss

triggering. Listener discretion is strongly advised and check the description for

some resources and further information. So today we're going to be talking about the solved case of Rebecca Aylwood.

I think that's how you pronounce her surname. I'm sorry if it's not.

So quickly before I get into this video, I just want to give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone that I talk about in this video.

This is all just information that I have found on the internet and I'm compiling into one video.

So Rebecca Aylwood was born on February 28, 1995 in Bridge End in South Wales.

She was the oldest of three siblings. She had a younger sister and then a younger brother named Jessica and Jack.

And they were all pretty close as they were growing up.

Rebecca was a very empathetic person. She was known to be the one in school that stood up to bullies if someone else was being bullied.

She always wanted to protect and help other people. When Rebecca was around 13 years old, she met a boy that would soon become her boyfriend Joshua Davies.

Both of them were very intelligent, very ambitious, they behaved well in class, they were like the male and female version of each other.

They seemed perfect for each other. Rebecca absolutely adored Josh Davies. He was her first ever like proper boyfriend and so he spent a lot of time at the house.

He got on really well with Rebecca's parents.

Her siblings loved him as well.

So Josh Davies had some unusual interest for lack of a better term.

I don't want to call them unusual but that's the only word I can think of right now.

He used to collect antique guns and hunting knives and things like that, which

I mean for a good kid that's not violent or aggressive, whatever makes them happy, you know.
