Boyfriend’s Horrifying 48 Hour Cover Up After Murdering His Girlfriend | True Crime Documentary (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:00) On November 18th, 2 days after Phoenix (00:00:03) was brutally murdered, her killer called (00:00:05) 999 and calmly told the operator, "I had (00:00:09) a psychotic break and killed my wife." (00:00:11) Somebody had said to me, "If if if God (00:00:13) came to you and said, I'm going to give (00:00:15) you this beautiful daughter, (00:00:18) but you'll only have her for 18 years, (00:00:22) and then we need to take her back. (00:00:25) Would you still want her?" And I would (00:00:27) take those 18 years (00:00:30) and go through the pain (00:00:33) rather than have nothing. And although (00:00:35) just now that probably offers no words (00:00:37) of comfort for Phoenix's parents, maybe (00:00:40) one day it can. (00:00:43) Hi everyone, my name is Sophie and today (00:00:46) we're going to take a look at another (00:00:48) horrible case with you. Phoenix Spencer (00:00:50) Horn, known to friends as Fee, was 21 (00:00:53) years old and the kind of person whose (00:00:55) name perfectly matched her spirit. She (00:00:58) had a gift for helping others through (00:01:00) their darkest moments and always seemed (00:01:02) to rise above every challenge life threw (00:01:04) at her. Grace McCabe, who became a Miss (00:01:07) Scotland 2024 finalist, would never (00:01:11) forget Phoenix's kindness. She said, (00:01:13) "Fenix consistently reached out, was my (00:01:16) friend, and supported me through the (00:01:18) hardest time. I wish she got all of the (00:01:21) happiness and success I knew was out (00:01:23) there for her." Phoenix was incredibly (00:01:25) hardworking, juggling multiple jobs, (00:01:28) including waitressing at the Strat Haven (00:01:30) Hotel and working at local coffee shops. (00:01:33) Her colleagues consistently described (00:01:35) her as being in good spirits, someone (00:01:37) who brought positive energy to even the (00:01:40) most demanding shifts. At 21, she was (00:01:43) standing at the threshold of what should (00:01:44) have been a long and fulfilling life. (00:01:47) Living with her in a flat on Glen Lee in (00:01:49) East Kilbride was her boyfriend of two (00:01:51) years, Euan Methan. The 27-year-old (00:01:54) postman for Royal Mail had met Phoenix (00:01:57) at a family party, and their (00:01:58) relationship seemed to develop (00:02:00) naturally. To Phoenix's family, Euan (00:02:02) appeared perfect for their daughter, (00:02:04) polite, respectful, and genuinely (00:02:07) affectionate. Over two years, he had (00:02:09) been welcomed into the Spencer family (00:02:11) with open arms, essentially becoming an (00:02:13) adopted son. They trusted him (00:02:15) completely. Phoenix's mother, Allison (00:02:17) Spencer, had grown particularly fond of (00:02:19) Euan, exchanging regular text messages (00:02:22) with him. When Phoenix mentioned Euan in (00:02:24) conversation, it was clear she felt (00:02:26) secure in their relationship, proud of (00:02:28) the life they were building together. (00:02:30) But beneath the surface, something was (00:02:32) starting to crack. As 2024 progressed, (00:02:35) subtle changes began to emerge in Euan's (00:02:38) behavior that Phoenix might have (00:02:39) initially dismissed as normal (00:02:41) relationship adjustments. He had started (00:02:43) expressing frustration about her work (00:02:45) schedule, particularly her waitressing (00:02:47) shifts at the Strat Haven Hotel. The (00:02:49) complaints began small. Euan would (00:02:51) mention feeling lonely when Phoenix (00:02:53) worked evenings or weekends. At first, (00:02:56) this might have seemed endearing, a (00:02:58) boyfriend who missed his girlfriend when (00:02:59) she was away, but the frequency and (00:03:01) intensity of these complaints gradually (00:03:03) increased. Phoenix, with her naturally (00:03:06) caring disposition, would apologize when (00:03:08) Euan expressed these feelings. She (00:03:10) understood that relationships required (00:03:12) compromise, and she loved Euan enough to (00:03:15) want to address his concerns. But what (00:03:17) she didn't recognize was that she was (00:03:19) being slowly conditioned to feel guilty (00:03:21) for her independence and ambition. The (00:03:24) pattern was insidious. Euan would (00:03:26) complain about her work schedule. (00:03:27) Phoenix would apologize. And then she (00:03:29) would try to adjust her behavior to make (00:03:31) him feel better. It was a cycle that (00:03:33) many people in controlling relationships (00:03:35) recognized too late. The gradual erosion (00:03:37) of personal autonomy disguised as love (00:03:40) and concern. Phoenix's family, who had (00:03:42) embraced Euan so completely, had no idea (00:03:45) what was happening behind closed doors. (00:03:47) When they saw the couple together, Euan (00:03:49) continued to present the same polite, (00:03:51) considerate facade that had won them (00:03:53) over in the first place. Phoenix, (00:03:55) meanwhile, was becoming increasingly (00:03:57) focused on managing Euan's emotional (00:03:59) needs rather than pursuing her own (00:04:01) goals. The irony was devastating. (00:04:04) Phoenix, who had built a reputation for (00:04:06) lifting others up and supporting them (00:04:09) through difficult times, was now trapped (00:04:11) in a relationship where her own (00:04:13) emotional well-being was being (00:04:15) systematically undermined. The woman who (00:04:18) had helped Grace McCabe through her (00:04:20) hardest time was now navigating her own (00:04:22) nightmare, but she couldn't see it (00:04:24) clearly yet. Looking back, the warning (00:04:26) signs had been there all along, but they (00:04:28) were wrapped in the language of love and (00:04:30) concern. Euan's complaints about her (00:04:32) work weren't presented as demands. They (00:04:34) were framed as vulnerabilities, as his (00:04:37) need for her presence and attention. For (00:04:39) someone as empathetic as Phoenix, this (00:04:42) manipulation was particularly effective. (00:04:44) By November 2024, the dynamic in their (00:04:47) relationship had shifted dramatically (00:04:49) from what it had been in the beginning, (00:04:51) though Phoenix was still trying to make (00:04:53) it work. Saturday, November 16th, 2024, (00:04:57) began like countless others before it. (00:04:59) Both Phoenix and Euan went to work that (00:05:01) morning, following routines that had (00:05:03) become second nature over the months and (00:05:05) years they'd been together. Phoenix (00:05:07) arrived at the Strat Haven Hotel in good (00:05:09) spirits. According to her colleagues, (00:05:12) she had always been the kind of employee (00:05:14) who could make even difficult customers (00:05:16) feel welcome. The hotel's guests and her (00:05:18) fellow staff members had come to expect (00:05:21) her warm smile and genuine helpfulness. (00:05:24) Euan, meanwhile, completed his postal (00:05:26) route for Royal Mail. To his co-workers, (00:05:29) he appeared no different than usual. (00:05:31) When his shift ended, he told a (00:05:33) colleague he was heading home to chill, (00:05:35) a perfectly ordinary comment that would (00:05:37) later take on a chilling significance. (00:05:39) But while Phoenix was working her shift, (00:05:41) something was brewing in Euan's mind. (00:05:44) During the afternoon, as Phoenix served (00:05:46) customers and went about her duties, she (00:05:48) received a text message from Euan that (00:05:51) would prove to be a crucial piece of (00:05:52) evidence in understanding what happened (00:05:54) next. Euan complained to Phoenix that (00:05:57) her waitressing shifts made him feel (00:05:59) lonely. It wasn't the first time he had (00:06:01) expressed this sentiment, but there was (00:06:03) something different about this (00:06:04) particular message, an edge that Phoenix (00:06:07) might have sensed, but didn't fully (00:06:09) understand. Phoenix, true to her nature, (00:06:12) responded with an apology. She texted (00:06:14) back, expressing regret that her work (00:06:16) schedule was affecting him and likely (00:06:18) trying to reassure him that she would be (00:06:20) home soon. It was exactly the kind of (00:06:23) response that had become typical in (00:06:24) their relationship. Phoenix taking (00:06:26) responsibility for Euan's emotional (00:06:28) state and prioritizing his feelings over (00:06:31) her own professional commitments. What (00:06:33) Phoenix couldn't know was that this (00:06:35) exchange was the final straw for Euan. (00:06:38) Something in his mind had snapped, or (00:06:40) perhaps had been building toward this (00:06:42) moment for weeks or months. The (00:06:44) resentment he had been expressing about (00:06:45) her work, the control he had been (00:06:47) gradually exerting over her life was (00:06:49) about to explode into violence. When (00:06:52) Phoenix finished her shift and headed (00:06:54) home to their flat on Glen Lee, she had (00:06:56) no idea she was walking toward her (00:06:58) death. The last text message she would (00:07:00) ever send to her mother, Allison (00:07:02) Spencer, came at 9:37 p.m. She told her (00:07:06) mother that she and Euan were at home (00:07:08) eating dinner together. Around 8:00 (00:07:11) p.m., Euan had ordered takeaway food for (00:07:13) them. When the delivery driver arrived (00:07:15) at their flat, he would later tell (00:07:17) police that Euan appeared completely (00:07:19) normal, not drunk, not agitated, not (00:07:22) under the influence of any substances. (00:07:24) This detail would prove crucial later (00:07:26) when Euan tried to claim that drugs and (00:07:28) alcohol had caused him to black out and (00:07:31) lose control. The evening must have (00:07:33) seemed routine to Phoenix. After a day (00:07:35) of work, she was home with her (00:07:37) boyfriend, sharing a meal, and probably (00:07:39) looking forward to relaxing together. (00:07:41) She likely had no sense that anything (00:07:43) was wrong. No indication that the man (00:07:45) she loved and trusted was about to (00:07:47) become her killer. But around midnight, (00:07:50) neighbors in the flat below theirs heard (00:07:52) something that would haunt them forever. (00:07:54) The downstairs neighbors had grown (00:07:55) accustomed to the normal sounds of life (00:07:57) from the flat above. Footsteps, (00:08:00) conversation, the ordinary rhythms of a (00:08:02) young couple living their lives. But (00:08:04) what they heard around midnight on (00:08:06) November 16th was different. There was a (00:08:08) loud noise followed by what they (00:08:11) described as hurried footsteps and (00:08:13) increased activity. What they were (00:08:15) actually hearing was Phoenix fighting (00:08:18) for her life. Euan had attacked Phoenix (00:08:20) with not one, not two, but three (00:08:22) different knives. The assault was savage (00:08:25) and sustained. He stabbed her 20 times (00:08:28) with 10 of those wounds concentrated on (00:08:30) her face. The fatal wound was a deep (00:08:32) stab to her chest that pierced vital (00:08:34) organs and ensured she would not (00:08:36) survive. But the stabbing wasn't the (00:08:38) only violence Phoenix endured in her (00:08:40) final moments. Euan also strangled her, (00:08:43) using his hands to compress her neck (00:08:45) while she struggled against him. The (00:08:47) combination of strangulation and (00:08:49) multiple stab wounds painted a picture (00:08:51) of an attack that was both frenzied and (00:08:54) methodical. Pathologists would later (00:08:56) determine that Phoenix may have (00:08:57) initially been attacked in the bathroom (00:09:00) before being dragged into the hallway, (00:09:02) though a bloodied knife was also found (00:09:03) in the bedroom. This suggested that the (00:09:06) violence had moved through multiple (00:09:08) rooms of their home with Phoenix (00:09:10) possibly trying to escape her attacker (00:09:12) before being overpowered. The app on (00:09:14) Euan's phone that tracked his physical (00:09:16) activity recorded a spike in movement (00:09:19) during this time period, corroborating (00:09:21) the neighbor's account of increased (00:09:23) activity in the flat. This digital (00:09:26) evidence would later prove crucial in (00:09:28) establishing the timeline of the murder. (00:09:30) For Phoenix, who had spent her life (00:09:33) helping others and spreading kindness (00:09:35) wherever she went, the final moments (00:09:37) were filled with unimaginable terror. (00:09:40) The man she loved, the man her family (00:09:42) had welcomed as a son, the man she had (00:09:44) apologized to just hours earlier for (00:09:46) working too much, was systematically (00:09:48) destroying her. The Phoenix who had (00:09:51) reached out to support Grace McCabe (00:09:52) during her darkest times, who had (00:09:54) brought good spirits to every workplace, (00:09:57) who had been looking forward to building (00:09:59) a future was gone. The silence that (00:10:01) followed the attack was absolute. But (00:10:03) for Euan Methan, the violence was only (00:10:06) the beginning. What he did next would (00:10:08) reveal the true depth of his depravity (00:10:11) and the calculated nature of his mind. (00:10:13) What Euan Methan did in the hours (00:10:15) immediately following Phoenix's murder (00:10:17) defied comprehension and revealed a (00:10:20) level of callousness that even hardened (00:10:22) investigators found difficult to (00:10:24) process. After killing Phoenix, Euan (00:10:27) made the decision to decapitate her (00:10:28) body. Using the same knives he had used (00:10:31) to stab her, he severed her head from (00:10:33) her body in what prosecutors described (00:10:36) as an attempt to defeat the ends of (00:10:38) justice. But the mutilation didn't stop (00:10:40) there. Euan attempted to dismember (00:10:42) Phoenix's body further, trying to remove (00:10:45) her limbs, and torso with knives. The (00:10:47) prosecution would later describe how he (00:10:49) tried to sever her torso, right wrist, (00:10:52) and ankle from her body. When police (00:10:54) eventually discovered Phoenix's remains, (00:10:57) they found her mutilated and decapitated (00:11:00) body hidden under a towel in the hallway (00:11:02) of their flat. The scene was so horrific (00:11:05) that even seasoned police officers, who (00:11:07) had seen the worst of human nature, were (00:11:10) deeply disturbed by what they found. Two (00:11:12) bloodstained knives lay beside Phoenix's (00:11:15) body, with a third discarded in the (00:11:17) bedroom. Blood was spattered throughout (00:11:19) multiple rooms of the flat, telling the (00:11:21) story of violence that had moved through (00:11:23) their shared home. But perhaps the most (00:11:26) chilling aspect of Euan's behavior was (00:11:28) what he did while Phoenix's mutilated (00:11:31) remains lay in their home. At 2:40 a.m., (00:11:34) just hours after committing the murder, (00:11:36) Euan was messaging drug dealers (00:11:38) attempting to buy cocaine. He would (00:11:40) continue these attempts to purchase (00:11:42) drugs throughout the weekend. Even more (00:11:44) disturbing was how Euan spent the day (00:11:46) after the murder. Forensic analysis of (00:11:49) his phone and computer would reveal that (00:11:51) on November 17th, from approximately (00:11:54) 8:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., Euan accessed (00:11:58) websites (00:12:00) 170 times, while Phoenix's decapitated (00:12:03) body lay hidden under a towel just (00:12:05) meters away. Her killer was spending (00:12:07) over 10 hours viewing. The juxtiposition (00:12:11) was stomach turning. a young woman who (00:12:13) had been described as beautiful, kind, (00:12:16) and full of life, reduced to a concealed (00:12:19) corpse, while her murderer satisfied his (00:12:22) basist impulses in the same space where (00:12:24) he had destroyed her. But Euan's actions (00:12:27) weren't just about drugs and po. He was (00:12:30) also implementing a calculated plan to (00:12:32) buy himself time and deflect suspicion. (00:12:35) And the crulest part of this plan (00:12:37) involved Phoenix's mother. Allison (00:12:39) Spencer had always maintained close (00:12:41) contact with her daughter. The regular (00:12:43) text messages between mother and (00:12:45) daughter were a source of comfort for (00:12:47) both women, a way of staying connected (00:12:49) despite Phoenix's busy work schedule and (00:12:52) independent life. So when Allison tried (00:12:54) to reach Phoenix on the morning of (00:12:56) November 17th and didn't receive an (00:12:59) immediate response, she might not have (00:13:01) been immediately concerned. Young people (00:13:04) sometimes sleep in on Sundays after all, (00:13:06) and Phoenix had mentioned the night (00:13:08) before that she and Euan were having (00:13:10) dinner together. But what Allison didn't (00:13:12) know was that the responses she began (00:13:14) receiving weren't from Phoenix at all. (00:13:17) They were from her killer. Using (00:13:19) Phoenix's phone, Euan began an elaborate (00:13:21) and heartless deception. When Allison (00:13:23) texted to check on her daughter, Euan (00:13:26) responded, claiming that the couple had (00:13:28) been drinking and that Phoenix was still (00:13:30) sleeping. Hey, Fee isn't up yet. I'll (00:13:33) get her to text you when she is. X, he (00:13:36) wrote, perfectly mimicking the casual, (00:13:38) loving tone Phoenix would use with her (00:13:40) mother. In the UK, adding an X at the (00:13:43) end of a message, is a common way of (00:13:45) showing affection, much like sending a (00:13:48) little kiss, and it was something (00:13:50) Phoenix often did when texting her mom. (00:13:52) Later, still using Phoenix's phone, Euan (00:13:55) sent another message to Allison. Hey, (00:13:57) sorry, I've just woken up. XXX. The (00:14:00) message was designed to sound exactly (00:14:02) like something Phoenix would send, (00:14:04) complete with the casual language and (00:14:06) multiple X's that indicated affection. (00:14:08) Allison had no reason to doubt that the (00:14:10) messages were coming from her daughter. (00:14:13) The tone was right, the language was (00:14:15) familiar, and there was nothing to (00:14:17) suggest that anything was wrong. She was (00:14:20) being manipulated by a man she had (00:14:22) welcomed into her family, a man she had (00:14:24) trusted with her daughter's life and (00:14:26) happiness. Meanwhile, Euan was also (00:14:28) spending the weekend driving around East (00:14:30) Kilbride in Phoenix's Red Voxal Corser, (00:14:34) scrolling through her phone and (00:14:36) continuing his attempts to purchase (00:14:37) cocaine. The weekend stretched on with (00:14:40) Allison believing her daughter was alive (00:14:42) and well, while Phoenix's mutilated body (00:14:45) remained hidden in the flat. Euan (00:14:47) continued to send reassuring messages, (00:14:50) maintaining the fiction that everything (00:14:52) was normal while living in the aftermath (00:14:54) of unspeakable violence. But by Monday, (00:14:57) November 18th, the deception was (00:15:00) becoming harder to maintain. Monday (00:15:02) morning brought a reality that Euan (00:15:04) could no longer manage. Phoenix was (00:15:06) scheduled to work, and her absence would (00:15:08) be noticed. Unlike family members who (00:15:11) might accept explanations about sleeping (00:15:13) in or feeling unwell, Phoenix's (00:15:15) employers and colleagues would expect (00:15:17) her to show up or call in if she (00:15:19) couldn't make her shift. Phoenix was (00:15:21) known for her reliability. When she (00:15:23) failed to appear for work and couldn't (00:15:25) be contacted, her colleagues immediately (00:15:27) knew something was wrong. The weight of (00:15:29) maintaining his lies, combined with the (00:15:32) reality of living in a flat with (00:15:33) Phoenix's remains, was becoming (00:15:35) unbearable, even for someone as cold and (00:15:38) calculating as Euan had proven himself (00:15:41) to be. Throughout the morning, he (00:15:43) continued trying to buy drugs, possibly (00:15:45) seeking some form of escape from the (00:15:47) nightmare he had created. Finally, at (00:15:49) midday on November 18th, Euan made the (00:15:52) phone call that would end his charade (00:15:54) forever. He dialed 999 and told the (00:15:57) emergency operator, "I had a psychotic (00:15:59) break and killed my wife." The words (00:16:01) came out in a rush, as if they had been (00:16:03) building pressure inside him all (00:16:05) weekend. But even in this moment of (00:16:07) confession, Euan was still lying. He (00:16:10) told the operator that he and Phoenix (00:16:11) had been messing about when the violence (00:16:14) occurred, and that he had been taking (00:16:16) steroids and cocaine, which he believed (00:16:18) might have been spiked with other (00:16:20) substances. "It was [ __ ] horrible," (00:16:22) he said, as if he were the victim of (00:16:24) what had happened rather than the (00:16:25) perpetrator. "When asked to describe (00:16:27) what he had found, Euan said Phoenix's (00:16:29) body was in the hall with a knife beside (00:16:31) her. He claimed he had been trying to (00:16:33) muster up the courage to call emergency (00:16:35) services, suggesting that he had been (00:16:37) struggling with guilt rather than simply (00:16:40) trying to cover up his crime. But (00:16:42) perhaps most revealing was what Euan (00:16:44) said when he was transferred to a senior (00:16:46) police officer. I just want to go to (00:16:48) jail, he added. I'm not violent. I have (00:16:50) been out my face. I can't remember what (00:16:52) happened. I have been driving about all (00:16:54) weekend. These statements were crucial (00:16:57) because they showed Euan's continued (00:16:59) attempts to minimize his responsibility (00:17:02) and create a narrative that might (00:17:04) generate sympathy. He wanted people to (00:17:06) believe that he was a non-violent person (00:17:09) who had suffered some kind of breakdown (00:17:11) rather than someone who had methodically (00:17:13) planned and executed a horrific murder. (00:17:16) When police arrived at the flat on Glen (00:17:18) Lee, they found a scene that would stay (00:17:20) with them for the rest of their careers. (00:17:22) The police officers who responded to (00:17:24) Yuan's 999 call thought they were (00:17:26) prepared for what they might find. They (00:17:28) had heard his confession. They knew a (00:17:31) young woman was dead, and they (00:17:32) understood they were walking into a (00:17:34) crime scene. But nothing could have (00:17:36) prepared them for the reality of what (00:17:37) Euan had done to Phoenix. Phoenix's (00:17:40) mutilated and decapitated body was found (00:17:43) hidden under a towel in the hallway of (00:17:45) the flat she had shared with the man who (00:17:47) killed her. The site was so disturbing (00:17:50) even for experienced officers. When (00:17:52) officers placed Euan under arrest, his (00:17:55) demeanor was described as eerily calm. (00:17:58) This wasn't the behavior of someone (00:17:59) experiencing remorse or horror at what (00:18:02) they had done. It was the response of (00:18:04) someone who had been living with the (00:18:06) reality of his actions for 2 days and (00:18:08) had come to terms with the consequences. (00:18:11) Euan's words to the arresting officers (00:18:13) revealed the calculated nature of his (00:18:15) actions. I could not stay here with her (00:18:17) like that. I tried to dismember her. I (00:18:19) moved her from the bath and put her (00:18:21) there. These weren't the words of (00:18:23) someone who had suffered a psychotic (00:18:25) break or lost control. They were the (00:18:27) statements of someone who had been (00:18:29) actively trying to destroy evidence and (00:18:31) cover up his crime. But while Phoenix's (00:18:34) life had ended, the investigation into (00:18:36) her death was just beginning. As (00:18:38) investigators examined the evidence, (00:18:41) every claim Euan had made about November (00:18:43) 16th fell apart. Forensic analysis (00:18:46) revealed his searches, drug contacts, (00:18:49) and calculated texts to Allison. Clear (00:18:52) signs he was lucid and in control. A (00:18:54) delivery driver testified he seemed (00:18:56) completely normal that night, not (00:18:59) impaired. His phone's activity tracker (00:19:01) confirmed movement around midnight, (00:19:03) matching neighbors reports. The fake (00:19:06) messages to Allison were the most (00:19:07) chilling, showing how carefully he (00:19:09) mimicked Phoenix's voice to deceive her. (00:19:12) With no criminal record and a seemingly (00:19:14) ordinary life, the brutality of his (00:19:16) actions was almost impossible to (00:19:18) comprehend. How could someone with no (00:19:20) history of violence commit such an (00:19:22) extreme act of brutality against someone (00:19:24) he claimed to love? The answer lay not (00:19:26) in external factors like drugs or (00:19:28) alcohol, but in the gradual erosion of (00:19:31) respect and control that had been (00:19:33) building in their relationship over (00:19:34) time. Until now, Phoenix's mom has no (00:19:37) idea what happened to her daughter. (00:19:40) until Detective Chief Inspector Susie (00:19:42) Cannes had to deliver the devastating (00:19:45) news to Phoenix's family that their (00:19:47) beloved daughter was dead, murdered by (00:19:49) someone they had trusted completely. (00:19:51) Allison Spencer's world collapsed when (00:19:54) she realized the weekend text messages (00:19:56) she thought were from Phoenix had (00:19:58) actually come from her killer. Euan had (00:20:00) written a letter claiming remorse. I (00:20:02) know how loved Phoenix was and how she (00:20:05) made her family complete. I can't (00:20:07) believe I've taken her from them. But (00:20:09) Judge Lord Matthews observed that the (00:20:11) letter answers none of the questions (00:20:14) which must be plaguing the family. On (00:20:16) July 14th, 2025, Judge Lord Matthews (00:20:20) sentenced Euan to life imprisonment with (00:20:22) a minimum of 23 years. But Phoenix's (00:20:26) story doesn't end with her killer's (00:20:27) conviction. Her family donated thousands (00:20:30) of pounds raised through a fundraiser to (00:20:33) women's aid services across Scotland. (00:20:36) Women's Aid Glasgow responded, "Her (00:20:38) name, Phoenix, now stands for more than (00:20:41) loss. It stands for action, for change, (00:20:44) for refusing to let her story end in (00:20:46) silence. This is what it means to rise (00:20:48) from the ashes." Phoenix was just 21 (00:20:51) years old when her life was stolen by (00:20:53) someone she trusted. Euan Methan could (00:20:55) be eligible for parole when he's just (00:20:57) 50. But for Phoenix's family, the (00:20:59) sentence will last a lifetime. Yet (00:21:01) through their courage and generosity, (00:21:04) Phoenix's light continues to shine, (00:21:06) protecting other women and ensuring her (00:21:08) name will never be forgotten.
