Months old after spending months in foster care she was adopted at 21 months old by Dennis Bowman and his wife Brenda who renamed her Andrea in 19 1988 Andrea’s School staff grew worried when she told him that she was frightened to go home because her adopted father had been abusing her the
Police were called and Andrea was subsequently questioned by the authorities the social worker brought Andrea back to her house and had a discussion with Dennis and his wife regarding the accusations they denied the allegations and attributed Andrea’s Behavior to a teenager acting out as she had recently discovered she was adopted
As as an infant the Bowman’s then relocated to a rural trailer in alagan County shortly after this incident on March 11th 1989 14-year-old Andrea vanished from her family’s home her adopted father tried calling the homes of kids Andrea knew to find out where she was but none
Of her friends had seen her Dennis told the cops that Andrea had stolen $100 from him before leaving with no foul play having not been suspected yet Andrea was then classified as an endangered Runaway by the authorities and her case was passed along to the youth services Bureau months later Brenda Andrea’s
Adoptive mother contacted the police numerous times to report sightings of her missing daughter that she had been informed of however the police were never able to substantiate any of these sightings after Andrea went missing the police briefly investigated the boat Bowman family they were especially intrigued by Dennis Bowman’s extensive
Criminal history in 1980 Dennis allegedly tried luring a woman into a wooded area in western Michigan and assaulting her the woman claimed that Bowman had threatened to shoot her if she didn’t comply with his commands in the end Dennis was sentenced to 5 to 10 years in prison but ended up serving the
Minimum sentence it’s worth noting that he was still on Pro for the previous assault when Andrea disappeared his Antics didn’t end there he was arrested again in 1998 for breaking into his co-worker home in Ottawa County where he tried to steal several items including women’s lingerie despite their doubts about him
They were unable to arrest Dennis in regards to Andrea’s case due to a lack of evidence then in April 2010 a social worker sent a letter to Cathy turanian home in Massachusetts the letter stated that Cathy’s biological daughter Alexis had disappeared from her Michigan Home in 1989 the police were exploring a
Potential lead in the case that Alexis could possibly be a Jane Doe discovered in Wisconsin nicknamed the ranine county Jane Doe to confirm this assumption they needed a DNA sample from Kathy although Cathy agreed to provide her DNA she wished to learn more about what became of her daughter she searched online for
Missing girls in Michigan and quickly found one in Holland whose physical description and birthday match alexas upon viewing the school photo of the missing girl Andrea Bowman Kathy believed that she could be her daughter she then created a Facebook page dedicated to her daughter as well as a classmates.com account under Andre’s
Name in the hopes that anyone maybe some of Andrea’s childhood friends might know something and decide to reach out instead she was contacted by another person interested in her daughter’s case forensic sketch artist and amateur internet sluth Carl copelan after exchanging lengthy messages and phone conversations copelan introduced Kathy to other online
Investigators who shared an interest in Andrea’s case with their help she was able to revamp the find Andrea’s Facebook page and make it more visible to a wider audience with copelan by her side she got in touch with Pat O’Reilly a retired Michigan detective who was familiar with Andrea’s case O’Reilly
Immediately pointed to Dennis Bowman Andrea’s adopted father as the person they should be investigating based on what O’Reilly told them the duo began digging into Dennis’s past they then learned the details of Dennis Bowman’s criminal record after submitting a Freedom of Information Act request when they found
Out what Dennis had done Kathy felt a gut-wrenching hunch that he was the one responsible for Andrea’s disappearance if Kathy’s suspicion was correct it would indicate that the unidentified body found in rainen County was not Andrea meanwhile everyone waited patiently for the results of Kathy’s DN
N test to determine whether there was a match with the ransen county Jane Doe when the results finally came Kathy didn’t know whether to feel relieved or heartbroken the rine County Jane Doe was not her daughter this meant that Andrea was either still alive or her body hadn’t been found yet as celan
Meticulously planned the next steps of their investigation Kathy became too enraged to stay quiet in her mind mind they had all the proof they needed referencing his past criminal record she started making Facebook posts accusing Dennis Bowman of being responsible for Andrea’s disappearance but without solid proof the police were still unable to
Make an arrest the break in the case happened on November 2019 when Dennis Bowman was arrested by the alagan county sheriff’s office in connection with the murder that occurred 9 years prior to Andrea’s disappearance the victim’s name was Kathleen Doyle a 25-year-old aspiring author who’ taken up journaling until her untimely death
The crime scene indicated that Doyle had endured a brutal assault one that ended in her death via asphixiation authorities believed that the perpetrator was an unknown Intruder possibly a stranger their DNA was collected from the scene but the technology at the time was limited and no suspect effect could be identified
Thankfully as the years went by and science caught up with Doyle’s case police were able to produce a list of possible suspects using a technique known as genetic genealogy among the names mentioned in the list was none other than Dennis Bowman but to prove it was Dennis the cops needed a DNA sample
From him to compared with the one they collected so many years ago as it turns out the police didn’t need to go looking for Dennis as he’d already given them his DNA without even knowing this was when he visited the police station to file a complaint against Kathy turanian
Whom he complained was harassing him and making defamatory accusations against him online knowing Bowman’s history and believing it might come in handy one day a detective offered him a water bottle and kept it when he left later using it to obtain a DNA sample after running the sample against the
Evidence collected from the scene of Kathleen Dole’s murder the match was made Dennis Bowman was the killer even though Bowman was now imprisoned Kathy still felt like justice had not been served for her daughter yet 3 months later it finally came the Justice she had been seeking for so long with
Nothing Left to Lose Dennis decided to confess to Andre’s murder hoping that his confession would prevent him from being imprisoned in Virginia where he was facing charges for the doyle murder it took little time for the police to announce that they had discovered human skeletal remains remains which likely
Belonged to Andre Bowman they were found in Dennis Bowman’s backyard buried under a cement slab and to confirm it was Andrea Kathy’s DNA was taken for comparison in March 2020 almost 31 years after Andrea had disappeared the results confirmed that Kathy was right all along it was a
Match Andrea Bowman’s cause of death was ruled as homicide by unspecified means Dennis claimed that Andrea’s death was unintentional he explained that he hit her during an argument which caused her to trip and break her neck and to conceal his crime he reported her missing when the Bowman family the
Decided to move after Andrea was killed Dennis also admitted to relocating his daughter’s body to the newly purchased property and burying her beneath a concrete slab in June 2020 he was sentenced to two life sentences and an additional 20 years for the murder of Kathleen Doyle during his trial Dennis’s wife and
Andrea’s adoptive mother Brenda Bowman described Andrea as challenging disobedient and always struggling with completing homework according to Brenda she did not believe Andrea when she told her about what Dennis had done to her she thought that her daughter’s Behavior was a result of finding out that she was adopted on December 22nd
2021 Bowman pleaded no contest to second-degree murder and was sentenced to anywhere between 35 to 50 years by an alagan County Circuit Court in February 2022 the reason they solved it the reason they’re where they’re at is because Carl and I pushed it it took me almost 10

Desperately tried to get to the bottom of the case he used every available source and Method he could think of but unfortunately nothing useful ever came to light the fact that the internet didn’t exist back then certainly didn’t help matters all he had were his phone calls and interviews and they yielded
Only Snippets of incomplete information but with the dawn of the internet age Todd found himself in a world where even the most obscure of missing persons reports and newspaper articles could be accessed from the comfort of One’s Own home in 1998 Todd was browsing an online Forum dedicated to unsolved cases one night
When he came across a post from an Arkansas woman named Rosemary Westbrook Rosemary was desperately searching for any information regarding her missing older sister according to the post her sister’s name was Barbara an Taylor and she had been missing since 1967 the description Rosemary provided seemed to match the one etched on the
Tent girl’s headstone Barbara had brown hair and brown eyes was a approximately 5’2 in in height and was last spotted in the Lexington Kentucky area Todd made contact with rosemary and helped get her in touch with kuy’s forensic medical examiner together they confirmed the description of her sister including a
Distinctive gap between her two Central iners on March 2nd 1998 the body of tin girl was exhumed and transported to a laboratory in Frankfurt Kentucky for DNA testing to conduct the test a cheek swap was obtained from Rosemary and compared to genetic material found within the
Pulp of one of tin girls teeth on April 26th 1998 the results of the DNA test were finally ready the sheriff’s office confirmed the identity of the corpse found abandoned in a tent in the Kentucky wood so many years ago the body of the mysterious tent girl actually belonged to 24-year-old Barbara an
Hackman Taylor Barbara had relocated to Kentucky without her family’s knowledge she was employed at a restaurant and had a young daughter at the time of her disappearance her husband George Earl Taylor worked in a carnival and stated he had not seen her for several years and that she had left him for another
Man although Todd Matthews suspected that he had killed her George was never officially implicated in Barbara’s murder as he had already died of cancer in October 1987 long before Barbara’s body was found by helping figure out the tent girl’s identity Todd Matthews felt an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and
Purpose he went on to co-found the D Network a group that manages an online database where volunteers work together to match missing persons with unidentified descendants Jason Patrick Callahan on June 26 1995 two men were driving down Greensville County Virginia where their car violently crashed into a
Pair of trees neither of them survived police officers noted that none of them were wearing a seat belt which likely contributed to their demise the crash seemed to come out of nowhere neither of The Descendants had any traces of drugs or alcohol in their systems and there were no external causes that could
Explain why the crash happened so authorities soon came to the conclusion that the driver must have fallen asleep behind the wheel Michael Hagar age 21 was identified as one of the victims the extent of the injury sustained namely to the face and upper body meant that confirming the identity of the second
Passenger would prove challenging it certainly didn’t help that he didn’t have an ID and the graphic nature of the accident meant that Mortuary photographs couldn’t be released to the public a letter addressed to a man named Jason and containing a phone number was found inside one of his pockets unfortunately
The phone number provided in the letter did not have a proper area code and did not lead to any clues regarding the name of the second victim fingerprint analysis was then used to try and identify his body by trying to match it to National databases but the attempt was unsuccessful when interviewed Michael
Hager’s family could not identify the unknown passenger either nonetheless the unidentified body appeared to belong to a Caucasian male aged between 15 and 21 with brown eyes and long curly brown hair that had been dyed red he wore a red tie-dyed Grateful Dead t-shirt along with Levi jeans white socks and black
Fela running shoes he had a star tattoo on his upper left arm and a faded tattoo on his right arm a yellow bck lighter $14 and most notably two scalped concert tickets were also discovered alongside his body the tickets were for two Grateful Dead concerts set to take place
At the Robert F Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington DC they were dated June 24th 1995 and June 25th 1995 respectively in investigators managed to trace the two tickets to a man living in Pennsylvania but he turned out this man was a ticket reseller and could not remember who he sold them to ultimately
Even after police released an artistic reconstruction of the young man’s face his body remained unclaimed for two decades he was later dubbed grateful de in a reference to the Grateful Dead tickets found in his pocket in later years internet detectives were intrigued by The Mystery of the Grateful doe and
Set up web pages dedicated to cracking his case a redditor named Leila Betts from Queensland Australia discovered a case of grateful doe and shared the story on Reddit she subsequently established a dedicated subreddit r/g grateful do devoted to solving the case the community saw thousands of people joining in and Leila would sometimes
Spend up to 12 hours a a day moderating the community responding to comments contacting law enforcement and posting updates one of the updates included computer generated sketches of what the Grateful Dee might have looked like in life soon afterward the case began garnering support from people on Facebook and web slutes a website
Committed to resolving Mysteries one day Leila received a message from a man called Steve Steve claimed that the person in the sketches resembled his former roommate from Illinois named Jason Callahan Jason was a friendly and vibrant young man who often traveled between Illinois and South Carolina and
Had many close friends thanks to his warm personality he was kind-hearted and free-spirited embracing what some would call a hippie lifestyle his family hadn’t seen him since June 1995 when he left to follow a Grateful Dead tour but due to his past history of running away from home his parents just assumed he
Was living on his own somewhere The Next Step was to locate Jason Callahan’s family ultimately Shannon mikkelson who was Jason’s half-sister caught wind of the story in 2014 I honestly started shaking Shannon said when I looked at that picture it looked like my dad was looking back at
Me he had the same face Shannon suggested taking a DNA test and together with Lila and many other online investigators involved in the great F do case they patiently waited for the test results one year later after initial test proved inconclusive all doubt was removed and a
Grateful Do’s real name was confirmed as Jason Callahan just like that a case that police had given up on two decades ago was finally solved purely by their power power of Internet slutes Jason was one of the many fans who followed the Grateful Dead from concert to concert in the mid99s
Perhaps it was fate that he passed away in the same year the dead stopped touring following the death of Jerry Garcia who had been integral to the group’s success as leag guitarist and vocalist his mother told investigators that although she hadn’t seen Jason since 1995 she didn’t suspect something
Had gone wrong until much later as her son had a history of running away often according to her she was unaware of his travel whereabouts and uncertain about where to report him missing as for his half-sister melson expressed conflicting emotions of relief and sadness upon discovering what became of
Her beloved brother she mentioned that she hadn’t seen Jason since their father and his mother parted ways when they were kids the the Philadelphia hate crime on September 11th 2014 a young gay couple was walking down a secluded alley in Philadelphia when suddenly they were surrounded by a large
Group of people the group was described as being made up of 10 to 15 well-dressed white people in their early 20s members of the group yelled out hateful slurs before savagely assaulting the couple the couple desperately tried to defend themselves but were quickly overwhelmed by the group’s numbers the
Assault occurred at the intersection of 16th and Chancellor streets when the police approached the group ran away carrying a bag belonging to one of the victims possibly as a souvenir the 27 and 28-year-old victims were struck in the head and chest resulting in multiple fractures and cuts
To their faces the beating they endured was so severe that that one of them was in critical state after arriving at the hospital and had to get his jaw wired shut as a result the police unsure of how to identify the suspects posted surveillance footage on Twitter of a
Group of men and women they believe matched the descriptions of the attackers and asked the public to help with the investigation by identifying the culprits after surveillance video was shared on Twitter a photo of what some believed was the same group sitting together was posted online the group
Photo was taken the same night the assault took place at a restaurant situated about three blocks from the scene of the crime a Twitter user then tried crosschecking the photo using Facebook Graph Search by doing so they were able to identify almost all 15 people present in the photo who had
Checked in at the restaurant the names were then sent to the Philadelphia Police Department shortly afterwards three people turned themselves in and confessed to their involvement with the brutal assault on the innocent couple the trio comprised Kevin harrian age 26 from Southampton Philip Williams age 24 from warmister Pennsylvania and
Katherine KN age 24 from Southampton Pennsylvania Katherine happened to be the daughter of police chief in Suburban Philadelphia all of them were charged with criminal conspiracy aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person although prosecutors confirmed that the victim’s sexual orientation was definitely the defao motive behind the attack no hate
Crime charges were filed as Pennsylvania’s hate crime statute did not cover sexual orientation this spurred a nationwide outcry for changes to the state’s hate crime laws to cover crimes deemed motivated by sexual orientation police officers conducted interviews with seven members of the group and four of the witnesses which
Helped paint a clearer picture of the events that took place that night Law Enforcement Officers concluded that the incident started when one of the group members accidentally collided with one of the victims vou language was exchanged followed up by shoving pushing and punching as for the bag that was
Stolen according to investigators a witness who was not part of the group found bag after the assault and took it thinking it belonged to one of the group’s members later the witness left the bag at a bus stop where another person rifled through it and ended up
Using one of the victim’s credit cards in the end Kevin haran and Philip Williams were offered a plea deal which they accepted in exchange for voting prison time they were ordered to pay approximately $1,000 as restitution complete 200 hours of community service service at a facility that catered to
The LGBT community and were prohibited from going to downtown Philadelphia for several years but when offered the same terms her friends accepted Katherine not chose to reject the plea deal and go to trial things didn’t go exactly as she had planned however as she was deemed to
Have played a role in the beating of the homosexual couple and was sentenced to 5 to 10 months in prison according to prosecutors despite all they’ve been through victims Zachary hes and Andy H encouraged a resolution that promoted tolerance and understanding in favor of a strictly harsher punishment in a
Statement Philadelphia district attorney Seth Williams expressed gratitude to the public for sharing information related to the case and helping bring some form of Justice to the victims Abraham Shakespeare in in the small town of Plant City Florida lies the shocking story of Abraham Shakespeare growing up amongst the vast
Orange groves and Strawberry Fields Abraham’s life was far from affluent he often struggled to make ends meet and worked in the agricultural fields to help support his family Abraham wasn’t a really fortunate person according to Greg Smith Abraham’s friend Abraham was illiterate he had left school at an
Early age and worked hard to put food on the table but on the 15th of November 2006 Abraham and his coworker Michael Ford were headed to Miami when they decided to make a faithful stop at a tiny convenience store in Frost prooof Florida Ford had gone in to purchase
Some cigarettes and drinks for the both of them Abraham handed him $2 out of the five he had on him asking Ford to buy him two lottery tickets instead this turned out to be both the best and worst decision Abraham ever made depending on how you look at it when the numbers were
Read Abraham was shocked to discover that he had just won $30 million Abraham agreed to a settlement of 16.9 million and displayed his kind-hearted Nature by using a portion of the money to buy homes for his cousins and assisting his friend Greg Smith who was a local barber and paying
Off a business loan worth $887,000 Abraham also bought a small mansion for himself in North Lakeland in addition to his luxurious home the only things he spent money on were a Rolex watch and a Nissan Ultima sadly when your Origins are humble and you suddenly become rich
You might become a source of Envy to some this was exactly the case for Abraham as his Newfound wealth brought about a litigious dispute with his close friend Michael Ford Ford claimed that Shakespeare had stolen lottery tickets from his wallet and demanded an exorbitant 1 million doll selement which
Shakespeare refused to pay frustrated Ford decided to pursue legal action against shakespear into civil courts but Ford’s lawsuit did not go exactly as he had planned as he had failed to convince the jury of his version of events at first glance it appeared as though hitting the jackpot was the best thing
That could ever happen to a hardworking good-natured man such as Abraham but in truth this was far from the case Abraham lacked the financial knowledge necessary to manage his money properly he couldn’t even read letters and often sign contracts without understanding what was on them to make matters worse Abraham
Had an Entourage of people around him most of whom he didn’t even know who used him as their their personal cash cow capitalizing on his kind spirit and generosity before long Abraham who had become outrageously wealthy at least for an everyday working man had lost most of
His money in less than 2 years only having $2 million left to his name he thought his luck was seemingly about to change however when he met Doris DD Moore introduced by a mutual friend Moore suggested writing a book book about Abraham’s life but as they discussed the project she learned that
He was rapidly going broke more saw an opportunity convincing Abraham to entrust his financial affairs to her and to isolate himself away from family and friends who were only after his money in the large home he had bought as the weeks went by Abraham’s loved ones grew
More concerned not only had they not seen him in a really long time but he wasn’t answering his phone either Moore who was the only person who had been in contact with him reassured Abraham’s family that he had gone away for some time she also claimed that Abraham had
Been sending her text messages saying he was okay initially Abraham’s family did find this statement somewhat believable according to Cedric Edom Abraham’s cousin Abraham did mention wanting to go away for a while so while worried about him Abraham’s family clung to the hope that he would return home
Eventually but after not hearing from him for 7 months his family knew something wasn’t quite right and a missing person’s report was filed many of his family members and Associates were questioned his mother informed police officers that Abraham had sent her multiple text messages before he went missing which seemed a little
Strange since as far as she knew her her son didn’t know how to write investigators briefly turned their attention to Michael Ford the spiteful coworker who voiced his claim to Abraham’s lottery winnings did he have anything to do with Abraham’s disappearance seeing as how angry and humiliated he might have felt after
Losing the lawsuit the motive was certainly there but it was soon discovered that Ford could not have been involved as he was in Georgia at the time of Abraham’s disappearance authorities then combed through the lengthy list of individuals who had outstanding debts to Abraham hoping to uncover any potential suspects multiple
People stood out but there was one major problem there wasn’t any tangible evidence or clues that suggested foul play as the cause of his disappearance and it seems as though the mystery would remain unsolved at least until something else was uncovered in the meantime an online online form called Web took great
Interest in Shakespeare’s case Abraham had a little kid and was very close to his mother he just didn’t seem like the type of guy to abandon his family and so between 10 and 20 amateur slutes began posting Clues online about the case that seasoned detectives might have missed
Many of them pointed to Moore as the primary suspect the reason being that she was the last known person was still in touch with Abraham before he vanished she had also filed for bankruptcy in 2002 yet her company American medical professionals had not only acquired Abraham’s $1 million home under dubious
Circumstances but more herself had begun posting pictures inside the home reving in the glamour not only that but she also bought a $70,000 2008 Chevrolet Corvette for her boyfriend and a $90,000 2009 Hummer for herself about a month before Abraham was last seen soon after web began digging Moore
Attempted to create an account on the website using an alias in order to defend her innocence the independent in the group then Tracked Down the IP address of this suspicious account providing proof of Moore’s potential involvement which was then forwarded to law enforcement more was subsequently interrogated during her interrogation
She seemed cooperative and readly shared text from Abraham indicating he left of his own free will detectives also questioned her about how Abraham’s home came into her possession Moore told them she paid Shakespeare in cash for it but did not elaborate further on December 27th 2009 Abraham’s mother was eating at
A restaurant with Dei when she received an unexpected phone call from an unknown caller the voice on the other end identified himself as Abraham but Abraham’s mother was far from convinced she reported the incident to local law enforcement who successfully traced the call turns out the person behind the
Call was none other than Greg Smith the barber who received a $887,000 loan from Abraham the phone signal was tracked to a bustling Shopping Center parking lot there undercover detectives waited for Smith to show up but as they waited they were stunned to witness an all too
Familiar face pull in it was none other than Dee Moore she parked her car next to Smith’s got into his car and handed him a large sum of cash after more left the officers confronted Smith he confessed that she had offered him 5,00 ,000 to call Abraham’s mother and pose
As Abraham but he had no knowledge that Abraham was missing Smith was eventually let go but why would Moore go through all the effort of staging a fraudulent phone call red flags began to pop up when detectives dug into her background Moore was a notorious pathological liar she
Had previously been accused of arson and theft she was also ared for insurance fraud after lying about being attacked by two men claiming they had tried to assault her and steal her car but before they could confront her they needed to gather more evidence Smith was brought
Back and asked to wear a wire at his next meeting with Moore he met up with Moore at a gas station where she informed him that she was being accused of Abraham’s disappearance it is then that she makes a fatal error she tells tells Smith that she’s willing to pay
Someone to take the fall in her place due to the incriminating nature of this statement investigators managed to obtain a subpoena for her phone records revealing that the only calls and texts made from Abraham’s phone after his disappearance were to Moore furthermore Moore’s and Abraham’s cell phones were
Found to have pinged from the same cellular towers under the police’s supervision Smith was instructed to contact Moore one more time with the solution to her problem he arranged another meeting with Moore and brought along a man he introduced as his cousin this cousin of his was actually an
Undercover police officer in this meeting she confesses her belief that Abraham is dead and that she believes someone murdered him then the undercover cop tells more he’d be willing to go to prison on her behalf on the condition that she pays him 50,00 ,000 and provides the location of Abraham’s body
Claiming the story needs to sound as credible as possible to detectives estatic Moore agrees later that evening Moore asked Smith to meet her at a gas station alone she then drives him from Lakeland to a house she bought in Plant City more shows Smith a large cement slab in her
Backyard and says tell your boy to dig 6 fet down and you’ll find Abraham’s body she even gave him the murder weapon a 38 Smith and Wesson revolver claiming it had been left behind by the person who killed Abraham on January 25th 2010 authorities Unearthed the remains of Abraham Shakespeare they were exactly
Where dii said they would be DD Moore was once again brought in for further interrogation in her first interview she informed investigators that she assisted Shakespeare in leaving town as he was tired of being asked for money telling them he probably went to Orlando Jamaica Texas Puerto Rico or Florida she also
Stated that he might be sick in a hospital but now her story shifted stating that Abraham was killed by drug dealers although she provided a name to detectives it turned out to be a dead end however ever detectives still had no evidence that she was the shooter they needed a confession in their
Investigation they visited her ex-husband and discovered that on the night of Abraham’s murder Moore had paid him to dig a hole in her backyard and then back fill the hole after the sun had set law enforcement officials concluded that the ex-husband who had never met Abraham before was not
Connected to his killing and probably didn’t know what the whole purpose was as her story came apart the pressure was too much for her to Bear Moore eventually cracked admitting to killing Abraham but she proclaimed that it was in self-defense unluckily for her prosecutors had grown weary of her
Everchanging stories her guilt was obvious and she was charged with murder during the trial it was revealed that Moore had used up nearly all of Abraham’s money on Rolex watches diamond rings real estate cars and vacations Moore apparently also tried bribing the mother of one of Shakespeare’s Sons with
A $200,000 home as she agreed to tell detectives she seen him lately Moore pleaded not guilty on March 15 2010 she was convicted of first-degree murder by a jury in 2012 and was subsequently sentenced by a judge to life in prison without any chance of parole she remains in prison at the low

Murderer had plans to kill again the other three packages also contained notes but the police did not reveal what was written in them due to concerns about inciting copycats some remains were also found in the snow Dawn area of Montreal behind an apartment building and it was later confirmed that all

Luca was daating Notorious Canadian serial killer Carla Hoka Luca vly denied these allegations over the course of several years multiple social media and discussion forums were created all of which either sang Lucas Praises or spread false or unproven claims about him but it later turned out that the
Person behind these rumors was Luca himself in fact Luca had created over 20 websites and 70 social media Pages using various alyses his reasons for doing so were straight forward Luca craved attention intensely and would take Extreme Measures to ensure he remained in the public eye it didn’t matter if the
Attention he got was fueled by hate just as long as it put him in the spotlight this compulsion was exactly what motivated him to seek out a career in the film and modeling Industries and sadly what eventually drove him to commit some of the most atrocious acts a

Distributor of a bed comforter visible in the footage in the end their efforts paid off and they determined that the cat killer was located in Canada later identifying him as none other than Luca magota by using Google Map street view and GPS data embedded in a photo they
Were even able to figure out precisely where Luca lived web slutes alerted Canadian police warning them that Luca might graduate to humans as animal cruelty is a known early indicator of Psychopathic behavior and is often how serial killers develop their skills they HED the evidence they
Presented would at least be enough for a probable cause warrant sadly their pleas fell on death ear years in 2011 Alex West a son reporter in the UK tweeted to Luca asking if he would be willing to participate in an interview Luca took this opportunity to refute the
Accusations that he was responsible for the kitten videos although the way he carried himself during the interview left the interviewer feeling visibly Disturbed and on edge he was without a doubt one of the most Disturbed and disturbing individuals I have ever encountered said Alex then on December 12th the son

Videos had already been posted by Luca’s numerous alternate accounts laboring Luca as a deranged serial killer after his apartment was raided it was thanks to the hard work of the internet which gathered all the evidence and put it together that it became clear that Luca’s motive for killing June Lynn was

Were near Kerney Missouri according to Douglas deburen as far as he knew Greg May had gone away to Illinois however Julie Miller had an entirely different story to tell to investigators she revealed that Greg May was dead and that dubrin was responsible for his death Miller maintained that
Greg’s death was unintentional a tragic accident stemming from a physical altercation nevertheless investigators concluded that this incident was not the result of a simple misunderstanding but a deliberate Act of murder Greg’s family was informed by detectives that Greg was likely not going to return home so now
The question is what was Doug De Bruin’s motive for killing Greg May detectives theorized it was because of May’s valuable anti collection worth around $250,000 but proving Doug de Bruin’s guilt in the murder was going to be challenging as the evidence was scarce while police did discover a small amount
Of May’s blood on De Bran’s jacket the remainder of the evidence supporting the case was circumstantial all they knew for certain was that de Bruin had been caught selling Greg’s collection and that Greg’s car had been found abandoned in Aurora Illinois without a body the prosecution couldn’t even prove Gregory
May was dead which meant that Douglas had a solid chance of being acquitted but 7 months after Greg’s disappearance on August 27th 2001 some remains encased in hardened concrete were discovered in Kerney Missouri hundreds of miles away from bellw after notifying the police an autopsy was conducted the medical
Examiner was optimistic that the victim’s face would have left an impression on the concrete but later it was discovered that a hat had been covering the head before the concrete was poured which meant that the face left no identifiable impression on the concrete this made facial reconstruction
A highly challenging task all that could be determined for certain was that the remains belonged to a man between the ages of 40 and 60 who had undergone extensive dental work luckily detectives called upon the talents a Philadelphia forensic artist Greg Bender known for sculpting faces from the skulls of the
Unknown and having worked with law enforcement on over 40 cases a bust was created but the person to whom it belonged remained a mystery the bust was added to the doe Network website which is run by a group of volunteers who aim to assist law enforcement in identifying John and Jane
Doe that was when seasoned crime slw Ellen leech took an interest in the man’s case and decided to take a closer look at the bust after conducting extensive research leech was able to match the sculpture to one of Greg May’s missing person’s photos Greg’s identity was confirmed after the dental records
Matched the sculpture provided more than relief to Greg’s family it helped prove that Greg May was without a shadow of a doubt murdered with Greg skull now identified the prosecution now had the final piece of the puzzle needed to take Douglas deburen to trial as if Doug’s situation wasn’t hopeless Enough by that
Point his now ex-girlfriend Julie Miller was offered full immunity if she agreed to testify against him according to Julie’s confession deburen strangled May debn was convicted of first-degree murder and first-degree theft he was sentenced to life in prison as for Miller she was giving a 3-year sentence for the crime of transporting stolen
Property across state lines while Greg’s death was an ugly and tragic loss hopefully his family could find some solace in the fact that Justice had found its way to his Killer’s doorstep lavender do on the 29th of October 2006 two men going forward jog in the woods near an
Oil field stumbled upon the body of a white female probably aged between 17 to 25 the body was found beside a pile of Burning Bush when investigators got to the scene they were able to recover a purple sweater and a pair of jeans from her she had $40 in her pocket the time
Of her death was set between 8:15 p.m. and 10 p.m. the previous day the victim weighed around 120 lbs she was 5′ 3 in her hair was either strawberry blonde or light brown might have had red highlights but was definitely blonde and it was determined that she must have
Come from a middle class household there was however one quality that the victim had that made her very peculiar she had a perfect set of teeth with no cavities or fillings she even had two of her baby teeth still intact as her mystery became more popular she would come to be known
As the victim with the perfect set of teeth back to the crime scene an empty gasoline can was recovered and because of the nature of her death it was ruled as a homicide to make matters even worse Seaman was found after a forensic examination was conducted residents of
The area testified that there were many suspicious people in the area where her body was found with some even referring to their location as a killing ground efforts were made to to reconstruct her face but because of the degree of burns the process had to be attempted three
Times by a forensic artist the police were befuddled by her case all efforts to identify lavender D proved fruitless because her dental records and DNA had no matches on the system also there was no missing person notice by anyone that matched the lavender D for several years this case remained a
Mystery to both police and general public it wasn’t until 2007 when a suspect in the case emerged it was a man named Joseph Wayne Bernett who was 36 at the time and was already a convicted sex offender already imprison for another crime the police announced their suspicions that he was the murderer
Bernett vly denied his involvement in the rape and murder of the women but the police still saw him as a suspect however they couldn’t find a direct link between him and the crime it would take another 8 years in January 2014 for another interesting clue to emerge the national Center for missing
And exploited Children released a digital composite image produced from a CT scan of her all thanks to the advancement in technology since 2006 after the release of the Reconstruction the mother of missing 23-year-old Brandy Wales her daughter who had mysteriously dis appeared after going out to a nightclub in Long View
Texas in August 2006 contacted authorities because she felt the composite bore a striking resemblance to her missing daughter however after DNA testing the possibilities of that were eliminated and the body remained unidentified after some years of remaining unidentified lavender Do’s body was buried in Long View the case
Had gone cold it wasn’t until 2018 that things started to dramatically get better for the lavender dough in August of that same year Bernett suddenly confessed to the killing of lavender along with a fresh murder of Felicia Pearson he would later go on to say that lavender do his victim had tried selling
Him items from a magazine he refused she would later ask to enter his car where they would have sex afterward Bernette said she stole $40 from him which pissed him off and in retaliation he murdered her also a nonprofit organization called DNA do project run by civilians took it
Upon themselves to try to uncover lavender’s identity and hopefully reconnect her with her family they successfully raised $1,400 for a DNA profile analysis for genealogy research that would determine both her ethnicity and ancestry it proved successful and soon they were able to identify that Doe had Czech ancestry and also that she had
A first cousin who lived in East Texas 30 mi from where her body was originally found after enough digging and research and persistence the DNA do project was finally able to identify lavender do and announc that her identity would be released after Burnett’s trial it was
Found that her name was Donna Dodd her mother had left her when she was a baby and died in 2006 the same year that her daughter was also tragically murdered her father was homeless and she had lived with her stepmother for a while before staying in Florida where she
Lived with her half siblings in 2000 she would leave her family and join a door-to-door magazine sales team that would lure people in with the promise of Adventure but was actually a Human Trafficking Organization that kept young people hooked on drugs it was during this time that Bernette encountered Dana
At a Walmart parking lot and where she met her premature death the families of Dana DOD decided to leave her body where it had originally been buried and replaced her gravestone with a new one that had her name and birth date in December 2020 Bernett was sentenced to
50 years for the murder of both Dodd and Felicia Pearson pette Jaster in the year 1954 in the small city of Davidson Michigan a pretty Lively and lovable young girl named pette Jaster was born into a ranch dwelling family her Charming qualities endeared her to everyone who met her and she was
Generally loved by those who knew her at the time to the Delight of her family and friends pette would later leave Davidson City and her late teens to study at Central Michigan University but after just a semester in pet dropped out no no one knew why at the time and she
Refused to give anyone a reason for her actions in the following years things began to go from bad to worse to plain strange for her as she began to suffer from a serious mental condition she also went through a terrible breakup with her high school sweetheart that made her
Condition even worse she started making even more erratic decisions like quitting her well-paying job at the Chevrolet Plant in Flint Michigan and by the year 19 1974 when she was just 20 her friends and family began to suspect she begun taking marijuana her erratic Behavior alienated her from friends and
Placed a wedge between her and her family 3 years later in 1974 pet will tell the Davidson police that there were people that were trying to kill her and in her words use her mind eventually the police petitioned the state claiming that pette was too mentally ill to care for herself and it
Was decided in a County Probate Court that she should be sent to a state hospital for evaluation and treatment at that time in the 1970s mental illness was seen as a character defect and not an actual illness that could be treated or managed one moment pet age 23 at the
Time was in the state hospital the next she had signed herself out of the hospital staying there for less than 2 months in 19 1978 she went home just before Christmas and got into a fight with her father before leaving Michigan for Florida where her family had
Relatives in April of that same year pette will return for her mother’s birthday she would however leave 2 days after the birthday and would never be seen again at the time of her disappearance she was last seen walking towards Interstate 69 with an army style duffel bag in her hands when her family
Did not hear from her after after some time they reported her missing for almost a year police couldn’t find any leads until Social Security record showed that pet had earned $319 while working at a Walgreens lunch counter in Mesa Arizona after this there would be no leads and the case would
Eventually gather dust and grow cold for almost 3 years in 1983 her mother received a tip that pette was now in Florida and was also in char there were numerous sightings of her from different sources but none of them were confirmed it is at this point that things started to get bizarre Pet’s
Sister began receiving strange calls from an anonymous caller who would ring in not say anything then dropped the call at the time pet was convinced that it was her sister but after a while this would stop all of a sudden and cause the case to go cold again another 7 years
Went by and in 1996 the Michigan State Police issued a new Nationwide missing person bulletin for any information regarding pette and a bid to revive the case and find the lead hope seemed to shine its soft Light When A call came in claiming that a Blue Earth Minnesota Jane Doe could be pette
The body was taken for forensic testing and it turned out not to be pette putting a clog once again into the wheel of the case despite the police attempt to revive the case nothing came forth there were no leads calls or sightings everything just went quiet but her
Family never stopped searching and it didn’t take long before another light at the end of a tunnel began to surface the victim’s siblings began searching missing persons websites they stumbled on one called the web which is a for where registered users can discuss and classify information related to crimes trials and unsolved
Murders which they would then try to solve eventually the site would lead them to a woman called Debbie Saunders whose Alias on web slutes was Houston Mom with her help they were able to identify a victim of a hidden run case from 1980 that bore strong similarities
To pette when she submitted her findings to forensic scientist Dr Sharon M Derek she also recognized these similarities but found it difficult to run a test without fingerprints or DNA causing her to resort to Unorthodox methods for identification Pet’s Dental charts were cross referenced with those of the hit
And run victim and an incomplete match was made because of the lack of x-rays but interestingly it was a match nonetheless while scanning an autopsy report Derek noticed two freckles on a woman’s cheek which when compared with the one freckled near po Pet’s right eye create a match that was strong enough
For pet to be an absolute match Pet’s body had finally been found almost 34 years after her disappearance it was discovered that pette had hitched a ride from Arizona to Houston and was seen getting out of an 18-wheeler at a truck stop on Interstate 10 shortly before
Midnight on March 28th 1980 there was no ID on pette when an intoxicated driver swerved his car into tallet killing her in the process there was one tiny detail that had slowed down investigators over the years the duffel bag that Witnesses had reported seeing on pette was abandoned in a trucker’s cab and
Remained in his possession in the intervening years this detail was abandoned and never followed through the police never collected the bag from the trucker if they had all they needed for identification would have easily been found in the bag and the family wouldn’t have had to wait for almost four decades to find
Closure the family also found that the young woman had been hit by Robert S couch who was 23 at the time he was arrested and charged for involuntary manslaughter and failure to stop and render Aid he pleaded guilty and was placed on probation for 5 years in July
Of 1980 they also found that their daughter had been buried in Houston under the name Jane Doe and a case number eventually the family replaced this with a plaque that positively identified her as pette dter finally bringing a cloes to a long and painful case Strongsville Jane
Doe at a young age Linda Murray Pagano’s parents divorced after a few years her mother remarried a man named Brian caylin but that also didn’t go well and so she left him after a few months together Linda had two siblings a brother and a sister named Mike and chery Pagano respectively
They had lived with Brian clayin but he was abusive towards them so they had to move in to live with their mother’s new boyfriend according to Linda’s siblings Brian was abusive towards everyone except Linda and since Linda wasn’t so fond of her mother’s new boyfriend she decided to stay with Brian since they
Got along so well on the 30th of August Linda drove her Mustang with her boyfriend to Cleveland to attend a World Series concert at the old stadium she didn’t return home that night and when she returned to next morning she got into a fight with Brian which caused him
To kick her out of his house after that event strangely Linda was never seen again the day after Brian called Linda’s mother and told her that he was looking for Linda after calling friends and family without results the police were notified and a police treated the k case
As that of a runaway however this did not stop the family from continuing their search for Linda on the 5th of February 1975 three boys found skeletal remains along the bank of a Rocky River in Strongsville which is now known as Stream Run Reservation no physical evidence was
Retrieved at the scene of the crime and an autopsy would reveal that the skeleton was that of a white female in her late teens or early 20s further findings identified that the unknown woman had been shot in the head a discovery that led to the case being classified as a homicide when Linda’s
Brother Mike Pagano heard of the report on TV he wondered if the unknown woman could be his long lost sister immediately he called the police and a woman answered the phone when Mike explained the situation to her and gave her a description of his sister the
Woman responded oh no this girl is a little older and maybe a little taller oh no that’s not your sister this spelled the end of the case for many years the police couldn’t identify the skeleton with a hole in her skull and a Pagano family could not find their
Sister decades later the Strongsville Jane Doe as she had come to be known was finally buried at potterfield Memorial Gardens in Highland Hills however in 2015 a 22-year-old amateur SLO and genealogy researcher named Christina skates while looking through the Highland Park Cemetery records for an ancestor of hers stumbled Upon A Grave
That had no name it belonged to an unidentified white female and this immediately piqued her interest she kicked into high gear and began going through libraries before she found an old newspaper clipping about the murder of the strong ville’s Jane Doe she was relentless in her search for answers and
Called as many detectives as she could until they sent her a digital copy of the Case Files armed with the case files and a burning desire to find the truth Christina skates took to Reddit and submitted all of her findings under a subreddit called r/ unresolved Mysteries
She went by the Alias call me ice the case went viral soon after and made its way to web sluth and later involved a user who also worked as a forensic artist his name was Carl copel and he was quite respected by the forensic Community for his ability to create
Realistic accurate and compelling digital Recreations for victims it so happened that the victim was not listed on any public database or any of the do networks skates decided to contact the kuah hoga County medical examiner’s office about the case and soon enough the case was entered into a federal
Database for missing and unidentified persons as soon as this was done the police made a potential link and on June 29th 2018 through DNA testing a link was made to Mike and Cheryl Pagano which confirmed that the remains belong to Linda Pagano efforts are now being made
To determine who might have been Linda Pagano’s killer the last suspect would have been Brian cayen her stepfather but he died in 1990 William Earl molt at the age of 40 William Earl molt was a mortgage broker who led a very Bland life that was based on a
Predictable routine part of that routine included him frequenting a bar in Lantana Florida William was not known to be a heavy drinker in fact he rarely drank and whenever he was at the bar he would brood keeping to himself as he spent time on his own alone on the 7th of November
1997 after spending some time at the bar William got up to leave leave around 11:00 p.m. a witness would later say that he did not appear drunk before he left the club Williams girlfriend would report that he had called her around 9:30 p.m. to say he would arrive home
Soon enough however William would not make it home that night nor was he seen ever again when he did not arrive home he was reported missing and the police tried their best to search for him but without clues or leads it seemed like he had just vanished off the surface of the
Earth investigations proved impossible to pursue and with time the case grew cold more than 20 years passed before a former resident of the Grand Isle housing development in Wellington Florida decided to take a look at their old neighborhood on Google Maps and noticed what looked like a car in a
Retention Pond the former resident phoned the current resident of the house a man named Barry Fay that there was a car submerged in the pond behind his house along with screenshots that served as photo evidence Fay got home went to the pond to give it a check but found
Nothing so he called a neighbor interestingly his neighbor had a drone and a camera and by the time they recovered footage it showed that there was indeed a car submerged in a retention Pond Fay immediately contacted the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office and the vehicle was pulled out of the water when
It was retrieved it was found to be heavily calcified and skeletal remains were found within the vehicle the vehicle along with the bones were taken to the County medical examiner’s office for processing and after a week they were identified as belonging to William Earl molt it so happened that the
Vehicle had been visible on Google Maps since 2007 approximately 10 years after his disappearance but no one had noticed until 2019 reports found that William while returning from the club might have lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the pond which led to his death and subsequent disappearance and even though
The surrounding was under construction at the time no one realized or noticed the vehicle throughout the construction process after almost 22 years of pain longing and suffering Williams family was reunited with him even though dead they got the closure that they deserve the Golden State killer with 13 confirmed murders over
200 burglaries and 50 assault victims the Golden State killer also known as the Visalia ransacker and the original nightstalker was one of the most notorious serial criminals in American history his reign of terror first began in the 1970s in the peaceful city of Visalia California once a place where
Doors were left unlocked and the windows open the city contained many poorly lit Alleyways and narrow streets making it a perfect hunting ground for a vicious psychopath it all began with a few simple burglaries which left police officers puzzled due to the manner in which they were committed and the nature
Of the items that were stolen While most burglars tend to rush through their crimes the culprit in question would take his time often lingering for hours in the home he targeted what’s even more bizarre is that instead of stealing pricey items such as jewelry electronics and other valuables he preferred to grab
The seemingly insignificant like cherished family photos and other personal items in one case however he stole a handgun which he later used to kill a man after attempting to kidnap his daughter this burglar later became known as the Visalia ransacker and carried out his crime spree there until
1975 when a tense encounter with a police detective nearly resulted in him getting caught he nevertheless managed to narrowly escape by firing at the officer and fleeing the scene but make no mistake while vasalia may have been his starting point his worst Deeds were yet to come in 1977 Sacramento California became
Gripped by fear a notorious criminal had been terrorizing the city for almost a year growing Bolder with each attack at first he targeted women living on their own or with their children but later on he began to Target couples as well he averaged two assaults per month he was
Never caught and it appeared he stopped operating in the Sacramento area but the horror was far from over between 1979 and 1986 a series of meticulously planned and unimaginably cruel attacks rocked Southern California snatching the lives of four couple and two women the killer became known as the original
Nightstalker the original in his name was meant to distinguish him from Richard Ramirez another notorious serial killer who was also referred to as the Night Stalker the original Night Stalker would meticulously stalk his victims for days or even weeks before striking clad in a ski mask and wielding a gun he
Would invade their homes often staying for hours on in the audacity with which he would pause to eat or drink during his horrific acts spoke volumes about how confident he grew to be just like the previous two he was also never caught the Untamed reign of the Visalia
Ransacker and the original Night Stalker puzzled law enforcement for years but the question is how did they managed to elude capture throughout it all according to people who worked on their case it was mainly mainly due to flawed communication narrow-minded investigations and outdated Tech not to mention that they all left very little
Evidence behind for decades the three seemingly unrelated cases remained a mystery leaving many families without the closure they desperately sought but in 2010 stay-at-home mom and writer Michelle mcnamer made her mission to uncover the identities of the vasalia ransacker and the original nightstalker thanks to her efforts DNA
Evidence was eventually able to link these three cases revealing them to be the work of one person a man she dubbed the Golden State Killer by that point macera’s dedication to catching the Golden State killer bordered on Obsession she spent weeks looking at composite sketches of his
Face even narrowing down his blood type and shoe size every even she scoured the internet for fresh details on his crimes hoping to discover a hidden clue that would unveil his true identity she also started a Blog dedicated to the case which later became a platform where she’d share her discoveries with
Thousands of readers as well as the police mcneer wasn’t the sole online detective chasing after the notorious Golden State killer even before she began documenting his deeds this elusive criminal had captivated the attention of amateur worldwide sadly in 2016 mcnamer passed away in her sleep at
The time she was working on a book about her mission to uncover the identity of the Golden State killer although magnam wouldn’t live to see the ruthless murderer Behind Bars her profiling work would nonetheless lay the foundation for identifying him she left behind 37 boxes of case files from an Orange County
Prosecutor over 3500 other files related to the case and numerous other sources notes and potential leads all of which would later prove invaluable in the effort to bring the infamous serial killer to Justice she also informed the authorities that the killer probably had ties to the military or law enforcement
Which helped investigators narrow down the suspect pool substantially in 2018 less than 2 years after mn’s pass ing her efforts were come to play a pivotal role in linking the Golden State killer to crimes previously thought to be unrelated to him which were committed across multiple California counties according to the FBI
Approximately 40% of murderers managed to evade capture among them experts believe that a significant number are serial killers the possibility that the Golden State killer was among those who would never get caught was widely speculated however after more than four decades since his initial crime an unexpected breakthrough finally emerge
15 years after the last known crime linked to the Golden State killer was committed investigators were on the brink of giving up they’ exhausted all known tactics and investigative methods no fingerprints no DNA match and police databases and enlisting the general Public’s help with the promise of
Rewards yielded did nothing but then a retired code Case Investigator named Paul holes decided to try something different a Genealogy website holes obtained a DNA sample from the location of a double murder in Venture County in 1980 which was attributed to the Golden State killer this sample was then
Analyzed using GED match a publicly accessible genetic database the search revealed information about the the Killer’s ancestors dating back several Generations over the course of 4 months investigators meticulously pieced together a family tree ultimately leading them to the home of Joseph James D’Angelo a 72-year-old grandfather who
Had recently retired from working at a grocery store Warehouse when interrogated D’Angelo confessed to being a Navy veteran and a former cop just as mcnamer had predicted on April 24th 2018 thanks to DNA evidence California authorities accused D’Angelo of committing eight first-degree murders then in August 2018 he faced additional
Charges for 13 related cases of attempted kidnapping and abduction unfortunately due to California’s statute of limitations some of the crimes he perpetrated in the 1970s couldn’t be forly charged on June 29th 20 20 D’Angelo confessed to multiple counts of murder and kidnapping in a plea deal to avoid the death penalty he
Also owned up to several uncharged crimes 2 months later on August 21st 2020 he received a lifetime sentence with no chance of parole though Michelle mcnamer couldn’t witness the capture of the Golden State killer police investigators and internet slutes alike credit her for playing a crucial role in bringing a killer to

Disgusting that a felon can adopt a child!
That woman died becauae he was to much of a coward to look at a dead person who for all we know might have been saved if he had just done something. why did he only get 4 years Judge?
What I wanna know is Jason Callahan had a note in his pocket that was addressed to "Jason." Why didn't they call him Jason Doe or something? They had figured the identity of other person in the car (Michael Hager), so would it be a stretch to assume by process of elimination that the unidentified person could be named Jason?
ADVERTS! leave now!.
❤
Tammy’s case is horrible:(( poor child… these are the type of cases they need to get some psychic detectives in here and try to solve these missing and cold cases…. They’ve done it before I know it’s a lot of work and drains the person who is trying to read the cold case, but it would change so many lives…. And help so many families who are victims due to the dark of the world..
….confessed to SEVERAL hundred others in the 80's!?! 😮 Several. Hundred. How does that happen!?
The more I learn about the state of the USA at the time of my childhood the more I am amazed I frikkin survived. 😮🤦🏻♀️
This music has to go 😮
The amount of guilt that I know Linda’s mom held all those years, my heart breaks for her 💔
Is this sponsored by websleuths?
That Rainwaters' case disgusted me. Apparently being in recovery gives you leniency to murder.
The script is too cheesy. I've had enough
I had to walk home from school for years. I had many crazy men, honk, try to pick me up. One time, when I was eleven years old, a man called me over and had his penis out in his hands. I ran as fast as I could home. SICK people in this world. Needless to say, my child NEVER walked anywhere, alone or otherwise. Watch your kids, its only getting worse.
I feel like so many ppl could have helped Linda beforehand 🤦♀️ so sad
Who is this narrator? That's a voice of fucking gold, they should be in anime and stuff, not narrating this kinda stuff. Not that I'm complaining mind you, but like, dude… someone hire this man.
The girl that stole the $40:00 was commenting hainous crimes towards young women worst than what was done to her.
I wonder if Tammy Jo was a victim of "the truck stop killer" Robert Ben Rhoades. He's freaking creepy af and is still in prison. He was caught in 1990 by a fluke, but his crimes span from as far back as 1975-1990. He was driving truck all over the states. Specifically the southern states and eastern states, new york included. One of his victims was 14 yr old Regina Walters. He tortured her for weeks inside his truck in his truck. The last pictures he took of her will haunt you after knowing the story and his crimes. Totally disturbed monster.
Even though Tammy Jo showed no signs of a sexual assault, its possible hes responsible, but who knows for sure but he himself.
10:20 ummm… shoulder lith hair….
Also just a note, it’s incredibly annoying when people without a British accent replace th with f sounds. What are you honestly attempting with that choice?
1:52:15 you can hear when you say the thirtieth the f isn’t natural, you realized you didn’t do it part way through and it sounded ridiculous
Oh god she’d begun “taking marijuana”??????
FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING 32:48
Tammy Jo Alexander never had a chance… her trashy mother should’ve been held accountable.
The AI voice and generic stock video is way too cheesy. It detracts from the actual significance of these stories.
The only upside of internet really is, solving crimes. 🙏
I helped one of those out of state Door to Door Sales kids, a young 19yr old. By help, I mean he stole $100 out of my wallet and went back to BFE.
I don't know how much justice was done in the case of Rainwater when her killer only had served 4 months in jail. For all anyone knows, she died a slow painful death suffering after he fled the scene. What if she could havd been saved? I do not recall th et m saying she was found to die instantly.
If you or a loved one are the victim of a crime, the last place you want to live is somewhere liberal like California or Washington. I've had horrible experiences in both states.
damn bro how corny can u get with your descriptions of the victim
I wish you'd do a story about Kelly Camargo, from Hamilton Ohio 1990/91 I think. She was murdered but I don't think her killer or body was recovered 😔
The story telling here sucks
That's plenty of damn time for a accidental incident period.
1:38:27 Police line do not…..croos?😂
How tf a 15yo “regularly ask truck drivers for rides”
Ridiculous 4 1/2 yrs for taking a life , no matter you take a life give half yr life at least be at peace Susan
This voice over is very irritating. No thumbs up on this one
Poor Andrea went to her adoptive mother about the abuse. Her adoptive mother, instead of helping Andrea, she rebuked Andrea, calling her a liar. She should have gone to prison with her rapist killer hisband.
😥😥😥😥
You don't say in the first case with Linda, if they verified through DNA. You only say pictures on Twitter. So did the DNA match or not?
Lots of inaccurate information in this. Got to stop watching and find another video. Watch these on another channel and you will see the differences. It's kind of insulting honestly. By the way in 1979 missing persons cases were all written on paper. Paper can get lost. So because one piece of paper was lost people think the family didn't go to the police? It's common knowledge that records go missing when written on someone's note pad. And the missing person with a note in his pocket with his name in it? Why didn't they put that out? He could have been found much sooner.
20:35 in my job we actually use that subreddit a fair bit if we find something nobody knows anything about as it's often faster than we ever could be at figuring it out
Re: Andrea’s case: What a crappy adoption process. I have worked with foster children and adoption placements. Criminal checks are always done. What kind of royal FU happened here??? And confronting the abuser with the complaining child…and then leaving the child there unprotected?? What an incompetent employee and human being. I hope she was fired!!! But so long passed, I guess she’d retired. I would find her and scream accusations at her and tell all her neighbors what she had done. Then I would get a lawyer and sue her and her agency, not to get money, but to make the failure public!! 😡😤🤬😖I am so angry!!
It’s not descendants, I think you mean deceased. Please check the meanings of these words, and be more careful in future.
The words "descendants" and "decedents" are not the same.
Too many ads
The note in Jason's pocket had the phone number that they *claimed* could not be tracked down because it had the wrong area code. I've never heard anything so ludicrous in a police investigation! Isn't that what detective work is all about?
I just checked and right now there's only 335 area codes in the. At that time there would have been fewer. Why didn't somebody sit down and start dialing?? Easy to do, starting with the nearest. If they didn't have staff to do it, they could have hired a temp agency for that job. Ridiculous.
What @latoyajordan1542 said!!!❤ It's not down to the tech, it's down to good people. Tech is just one more tool.
"Begun taking marijuana"
Literally put my palm on my forehead and shook my head. How many have died as a result of using alcohol? And how many have died from getting absolutely baked?
Yep. Numbers don't lie.
