YouTubers Gavin Free and Meg Turney became victims of a home invasion last month when Christopher Giles, a “single, lonely, and disturbed” fan, broke into their residence early AM. Giles, who was reportedly infatuated with Turney, failed to locate the couple and was later found dead in his car after an exchange with police. Thanks Exavior.



Giles’ cellphone contained evidence including “more than 1000 notes” about Free and Turney. The incident illustrates the escalation of invasive and often violent interactions between prominent online gaming personalities and their audience, which has also seen multiple ‘swatting’ incidents occurring in 2017 among the gaming community.
