Belton is in Missouri. Missouri cops are stupid and incompetent. I'm in Overland Park, only a few miles from Belton. After Tara went missing, there was a HUGE sign offering a reward for her whereabouts. Once she was found, the sign was taken down and the area where she was found(I'm assuming), there's a small memorial dedicated to her and Jessica, not far from the Union cemetery on a country highway.

If a person comes into a police dept with enough concern to want to report a loved one missing, what gives law enforcement the right to determine that its probably a runaway & not any real priority?? The person reporting them missing obviously knows them well enough to know something is wrong yet so many times law enforcement (from various depts across the country & every state) have reacted in this manner ocer & over. Are they ever held accountable for their actions or is it a "do as I say, not as I do" type thing,? Most times the missing person is unfamilar to law enforcement. So who would know more about what behavior is normal & what is not concerning them, a total stranger or a loved one?? While I know there are many in law enforcement that go far & above in their jobs to keep us safe, laws upheld & ensure justice is served & its awful that all too often they are judged unfairly by those that shouldnt ever be in a position of authority & higher responsibility. My comment is not intended for these stellar men & women who risk their lives daily for us. For them, I have nothing but acknowledgement, appreciation & the upmost respect. My comment is directed at anyone in law enforcement who has reacted to a person filing a missing person report in a manner that it was'nt of the highest priority. Its for those who will always support the theory of a crime that is the one that creates the least amount of effort & input on their part. I cant be the only one who wonders why things like this are "allowed" to continually go on with the very people we automatically trust, respect & obey can I?? One time is one time too many, but routinely is totally unacceptable.
I stopped working for an agency that automatically enters all missing juveniles as "runaways." They're going to do that to the wrong family someday and get eaten alive for it. I could not, in good conscience, comply with this rule. I think all missing persons are supposed to be entered into the system within a specific time frame and agency compliance and comments need to be evaluated.
Blame your legislation not the department.. just like an officer or collective group of detectives can do tons and tons of work on a case…. Then take it to the DA and gets denied.. look at gascon here in L.A. , he’s literally the spawn of satan and has blood on his hands
@@DrJ-hx7wv the police did not do their jobs! They never followed up with viewing the videotapes from any sources. Kyler was never followed up with his visit to the relative in the nursing home. They are totally responsible for Jessica‘s death. They should have had Kylr behind bars for Kara’s death!!
I was about 7 when Kara went missing. One house on our drive to the store had a HUGE banner up in their yard for at least 5 years (which is when we changed out route). My mom watched a lot of crime shows around me so I was always super aware of it. As soon as I found out she had a boyfriend I suspected, and then my brother told me some of his friends knew Kylr and he told me rumors. And then when Jessica disappeared, I was about 15. A bunch of my friends knew her, my brother went to school with her, everybody was very angry for a full month, they held fundraisers and campaigns in the cafeteria. The energy the day they found the bones felt freaking amazing. I just think it's telling that elementary school children, stoners, anime nerds, people who'd only lived in town for about a year, all figured it out pretty much as soon as they heard about Kylr's existence. Literally as soon as we heard he was the last person seen with Jessica it was over for him. We just needed a mushroom hunter to get a little curious.
Well I mean it generally always is the bf, or close family, also some people will not speak to law but they will talk to friends, hence why you hear stuff before police do, they need EVIDENCE unlike Chinese whispers lol
The lazy, incompetent, disgraceful cops, never bothered to check his alibi?? Does he look like the kind of guy who would visit his great aunt at a nursing home? Cops could have saved Jessica. Kara's mom should sue them.
Yes. Cops don't impress me...like, EVER. They've botched pretty much every case I've followed closely. Cops are tools of the ruling class. They care more about protecting money, property, and the people who have it than they do about solving person-to-person crimes and helping everyone equally. They're lazy and arrogant.
Damn right the murder of Jeessica could have been avoided. If cops would have investigated on Yusts alibi as they should have. Yust is an extremly dangerous person and to me a psycho that can never be released. May the 2 victims RIP and may their poor families find the strength and will power to carry on in their lives.
I’ve whatched crime stories for years , since the old days of unsolved Mysteries , and I got to tell you , your work in making your videos is the BEST IVE EVERY SEEN ,, I just found your channel and very happy I did !
It is just heartbreaking how many parents have been robbed of seeing their children grow up. So many young people being robbed of a future. How many future doctors, lawyers, teachers have been taken from us all? It's just so sad.
R.I.P. Everyone killed everywhere. All Lives matter. Get your 🤑 that you need before banks close, and cards will not be accepted Move to Mexico. Greed .Evil. and Dishonesty will destroy us within. Outsource our law enforcement to Singapore,for they do not coddle evil demon's. Move to Mexico.
It makes me so mad that Jessica’s death could have been prevented the police officers should be ashamed of themselves. Much love to Karas and Jessica’s families ❤️❤️❤️
The most frustrating thing regarding Law is the "proven beyond reasonable doubt". And then there's the shameless heartless lawyer who take advantage of it, who would challenge, object everything whenever possible. The monster could've even won the case. In this murder case, there's no forensic evidence, which is really troublesome. Fortunately, the circumstantial evidence are strong. So the verdict is, sadly, the best outcome. It's far from justice. I'd say if the criminals taking advantage of the law like this then maybe it's time for public Justice, like someone take him out and make it like a suicide just like he did to his step brother.
I live in Kansas City Missouri. Not far from Belton Missouri. In fact my son lives in Belton. This story hit hard with the area. It was sad to know that both girls died and that evil monster killed them both. The only thing good I can say about this case is that atleast now the parents and family now what happened to them and who killed their daughters. And that so called justice was served. However...as a parent, I don't think justice would ever be served no matter the sentence of years or of death. Because it would never bring my daughter back. My heart goes out to all the families. All 3 families. They ALL lost a loved one.
I live in Belton also. I was 7 years old when Kara went missing and I remember the buzz it created in our area but I was too young to really understand. A lot of people thought she ran away at first. When I got older and heard of Jessica's death and their bodies being found, I learned of Kylr Yust and everything about the guy screams killer. He does not have an ounce of goodness within him and he deserves to be under the prison, not in it..
Top notch attorneys that should be in the same cell as him. It's disgusting the length some will ho to defend an obvious murderer, and for what? Their ego??!!
@@carolynwelsch no because you can't prosecute someone if they're not defended. People like you make me worry about the jury people. Not even an ounce of understanding of the legal system in your little head.
It always sickens me when the monster who is on trial seem to have more rights than the victims and their families..It happens all the time...I cannot understand the law at all sometimes
Only because innocent until proven guilty. Even if it is obvious, it ideally prevents innocent people from being subjugated by the system as a default.
@@Ridd333 and they don't seem to do that any other time when it's actually innocent people. So basically whatever they feel like doing or what fits the story they're going with.
It's so sad that 2 young lives were lost because of a cowardly psychopath and incompetent/lazy police. I really hope that Police Department was completely re-staffed.
You know, if I were a public defender, I could not live with myself if I defended something like this. I'm just saying. Rest in peace girls. You did not deserve this.

@@robinwagner3293 ya there's this thing, like a document , that says that says every citizen has a right to a lawyer... Idk I think it's kind of important. They call it the constitution
I was 17 in Missouri when Kara went missing. It was all over the news. I remember parents being freaked out because she was last seen leaving out of her high school never to be seen again. I had no idea this case had been solved. Thank God it has been.
💔UNBELIEVABLE!! The police really dropped the ball on Kara’s case!😡 I feel that the family should sue the police department for mishandling the case and possibly being responsible for her not being found.
As soon as I heard his half brother committed suicide, I knew he was going to blame him for it!!! Ain't nobody killed those girls but him and him alone!!!!
I remember this story from years ago, but I didn’t know their remains were found. I’m glad the girls family were able to bring them home for a final burial. Now they can have closure. I don’t think anyone can heal from such a tragedy.💔💔💔
These families don't ever get closure. Just able to give their loved one a memorial. We call it closure to make ourselves feel better, and IMO, it's rather selfish.
@@lisamarieashby2523The families at least don't have to wonder where in the world their daughter is. They have a place to go to visit instead of the girl's remains out in exposure.
I was 16 when Kara went missing. I still remember the breaking news about her disappearance and her loved ones pleading for information. Every year on May 4th the news would do a piece on Kara's disappearance. They never let her case go cold or unknown. I always got a bad feeling about Kylr. Kara good missing days after she filed a restraining order against him. Then fast forward to 2016 and Jessica goes missing yet again after being with Kylr. It's sad that it took another murder (7 years later) to solve Kara's disappearance. RIP Kara & Jessica. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.
These cops who instantly say PROBABLY ran away need to get a different job .. unless there's signs pointing to that then let's not do that please. They sound as awful as ones who say ohh u can't file a missing persons report until 48 hrs has passed. U might as well be on the killers side at that point.
@@juliahays4435I am so sorry. I hope you are doing well today. No one should have to bury their own child. I am so sorry that you had to... Love, light, and healing to you...May your son Rest in Paradise..
It's obvious he did these things, killing these woman. The authorities didn't do a very good job to start. How can anyone do these things to innocent people. 😔 very sad.
18:30 I don't know what such nice girls see in Bad Really Bad Boys like this "Serial killer", dating a guy that they know abuse drugs goes to jail from not so good family 🙄🤔 Recipe For Disaster!!! Don't trust men, do research, criminal records, ask people, tell your parents, don't give yourself so easily!!!
That whole runaway assumption needs to be done away with, if it hasn't been already. Every situation needs to be approached based on the evidence including the parents' assertions of character.
The trouble I have , is the lack of urgency to find children who were suspected of running away to begin with. Even if police have every reason to believe that child left on their own accord , finding that child safe , and re-uniting them with their family should have the same priority as any other missing child's case does. Runaways are endangered children. It's a fecking blessing when that child is found just hiding out at freinds house safe and unharmed. Who gives a flick if 7 out of 10 come home two days later and it's discovered they were just upset because they got grounded for a weekend. Whatever resources used to find these children aren't being wasted. Im sure there are people who would argue the point otherwise, but by all means before you do , go to the national website of missing and exploited children... look at all those faces looking back at you, page after page after page ... of children that have never been found , and their families will probably never see again. IF police treating every report of a missing child the same way , could have prevented one or two of those families the anguish of spending years /lifetimes not knowing what happened to their child, I would say that was resources very well spent.
How could someone as an attorney who has kids take a case to defend a person they know is guilty of murdering someone else's children and be able to sleep at night? It's despicable
21:35 The Law Failed Again giving such short sentence to this Serial Killer Kyler Seriously 🤔 What Wrong With Theses Police Officers? Did they have any training to become a Police? Are there Police Officers with experience? That's Insane...
@@astrialindah2773 - if the police officers did their job on Kara's disappearance then there would probably not have been a second murder as they'd have found enough evidence to convict him on that. As for the length of sentence. That's a function of the juries verdict, which was again in no small part related to police incompetence and laziness. On a more positive note he'll be in his late 70's when he's released. More likely than not he'll die before that.
My children Holly and Brandon went to Belton High School with Kara. We knew Kylr did something to her. No one had an issue with her except her ex boyfriend Kylr Yurst. He already tried to kill her once before by choking her and threatening he was going to kill her. She was set to get a permanent restraining order against him in the Cass County court house but he killed Kara and dumped her body near Cleveland, Missouri where I have family out in the rural countryside. Fortunately, a mushroom hunter found Jessica Runions and a further search of the area Kara's remains were also discovered. Miracle's do happen. The investigation was not taken seriously and lead's that could have led to be solved or lead to Kylr's arrest preventing Jessica Runions homicide also committed by KY. Jessica lived in our new hometown of Raymore. Every year there was a walk through town remembering Kara and when she was found it was the biggest relief I've ever felt when the monster was found guilty and sentenced to 45 year's in state's prison. The jury was incredible with the trial and how they saw the truth.
i still don't understand why top lawers will.go on to defend monsters like this and they can't do it for those wrongly accused. where are these top nudge attorneys when innocent people are sent to jail. ?????
It always annoys me when people try to report a missing teenager and the police go “they are a runaway, they’ll be back”. Regardless if they are a runaway or not, it’s someone below the age of 18, so surely the police must be concerned about their welfare.
Sad that they say belton is a tight community..maybe back then but isn't now. It's a different town and the ppl aren't the same. I knew Kara...and she was so sweet and nice to me. It breaks my heart that she died without having a chance to live.
OMG those poor families. The police don't verify TYLER'S alibi at the nursing home, they don't get the video tape, they don't do follow up interview with the clerk and then they lost track of him. What did they do? That other girl would be alive. Then the jury convicts him on involuntary even though he killed her the day after she files a restraining order. This was a good episode but it made me angry.
Unbelievable, if they don't want to be a police dept, shut down and let somebody else have jurisdiction that will do their job. They are as responsible for the second woman's murder as the killer.
How do you not check his alibi,that is just crazy to me.That's standard procedure to check an alibi.I don't think it's incompetence,it's just laziness.
I remember this case I was a Senior in high school and a month later chelsea from overland park target was kidnapped the day before my birthday I'm so glad they found those girls killer .
It was Kelsey not Chelsea. Let's make sure victims names aren't messed up. I'm about 6 years younger than they are an grew up about 10 min from where Kelsey went missin
Give the monster a new trial and convict him on two counts of murder with a whole life sentence without the possibility of parole and meanwhile use this Thing masquerading as a human for medical research. Once again lazy cops not doing their job. If I were the parents of Jessica and Kara, I'd sue that police department for gross negligence and eating too many damn donuts when they should've been out trying to catch a killer. None of them would have dropped the ball had it been one of their own kids, that's for bloody sure. They are a disgrace to their profession. Jessica's death was entirely avoidable and seeing as this monster had a criminal record, he should've had an ankle monitor and close surveillance. The half-brother took the cowards way out, so we'll never know to what extent he was involved. Likely he also helped him dispose of their bodies. RIP Kara and Jessica. My deepest condolences to their loved ones.
Kara was close to my age. I know growing up in KC, it's always stuck with me. It was what first made me truly scared to do anything alone as a female. Not finding her for so long. And then when Jessica went missing and his name was brought up, anyone with a lick of sense just knew we were going to either spend another decade looking for 2 lost girls or we were going to find them both dead. The fact that we still see his smug face on the news as excuse after excuse is made about him standing trial just makes me sick. These families had to relive this nightmare over and over until just what, last week when he was FINALLY convicted. He got to live an entire life while he took 2 away. This will always make my stomach turn.
Shitty little town made so by the slack police work. Why didnt the reporters go find out if the monster man really visited his aunt that day if the police didnt do it. They bring it up years later but if they wanted the story even they didnt do it. Cell phones and their pings could have been tracked even back then, and messages read. Only half a story once agin. Delving into the nitty gritty of these cases was not reported. Disappointing these 2 aspects of the case were not cleared up on here.
His defense strategy was throwing his dead brother under the bus and labeled him a serial killer is beyond cold and might have worked on some people but how where they going to get past ex-girlfriends claims of attempts to strangle and also threatening aswell as bragging basically confessing to killing former girlfriend's before them?
The bare minimum I’ve always seen police do on these shows is verify a person’s alibi. I thought that was standard procedure. Poor Jessica’s murder could have been prevented.

As soon as I found out she had a boyfriend I suspected, and then my brother told me some of his friends knew Kylr and he told me rumors. And then when Jessica disappeared, I was about 15. A bunch of my friends knew her, my brother went to school with her, everybody was very angry for a full month, they held fundraisers and campaigns in the cafeteria. The energy the day they found the bones felt freaking amazing.
I just think it's telling that elementary school children, stoners, anime nerds, people who'd only lived in town for about a year, all figured it out pretty much as soon as they heard about Kylr's existence. Literally as soon as we heard he was the last person seen with Jessica it was over for him. We just needed a mushroom hunter to get a little curious.
Well I mean it generally always is the bf, or close family, also some people will not speak to law but they will talk to friends, hence why you hear stuff before police do, they need EVIDENCE unlike Chinese whispers lol
The lazy, incompetent, disgraceful cops, never bothered to check his alibi?? Does he look like the kind of guy who would visit his great aunt at a nursing home? Cops could have saved Jessica. Kara's mom should sue them.
ohhh my God the best Comment.
Yes. Cops don't impress me...like, EVER. They've botched pretty much every case I've followed closely. Cops are tools of the ruling class. They care more about protecting money, property, and the people who have it than they do about solving person-to-person crimes and helping everyone equally. They're lazy and arrogant.
@@jenniferriggs1900 my dear sometimes i believe they are really of no use.
Agreed but it doesnt matter how he looks, cops should just do their job.
Most of them are devils aka freemasons it's very simple
This is the best documentary of this case I’ve seen. Very thorough and informative. Prayers for these families.
Damn right the murder of Jeessica could have been avoided. If cops would have investigated on Yusts alibi as they should have. Yust is an extremly dangerous person and to me a psycho that can never be released.
May the 2 victims RIP and may their poor families find the strength and will power to carry on in their lives.
Scream this till it can't be screamed no more 💯💯💯💯
The cops should hang their heads in shame!!!
Absolutely I can’t believe he wasn’t more prominently questioned or publicly exposed at the time, I remember when she was still missing.
i agree. so sad.
I’ve whatched crime stories for years , since the old days of unsolved Mysteries , and I got to tell you , your work in making your videos is the BEST IVE EVERY SEEN ,, I just found your channel and very happy I did !
Amazing editing, very well told and reported
Agree. So many videos are almost unwatchable,
but this was very engaging and informative.

The 2nd girl could of been saved, horrible narrsacist monster..blaming his dead brother, the shame..HELLO HELL!!
It is just heartbreaking how many parents have been robbed of seeing their children grow up. So many young people being robbed of a future. How many future doctors, lawyers, teachers have been taken from us all? It's just so sad.
More so than people realized, my friend.

So, basically, the detectives failed these families and the community.
It's clear what happened to her...The police just didn't want to do the paper work...or any work!
You got that right!!!
Exactly! Greetings from Germany
The most frustrating thing regarding Law is the "proven beyond reasonable doubt". And then there's the shameless heartless lawyer who take advantage of it, who would challenge, object everything whenever possible. The monster could've even won the case.
In this murder case, there's no forensic evidence, which is really troublesome. Fortunately, the circumstantial evidence are strong. So the verdict is, sadly, the best outcome.
It's far from justice. I'd say if the criminals taking advantage of the law like this then maybe it's time for public Justice, like someone take him out and make it like a suicide just like he did to his step brother.

On. Hi. hi. Hi
@@kemarin2237 You
I live in Kansas City Missouri. Not far from Belton Missouri. In fact my son lives in Belton.
This story hit hard with the area. It was sad to know that both girls died and that evil monster killed them both. The only thing good I can say about this case is that atleast now the parents and family now what happened to them and who killed their daughters. And that so called justice was served. However...as a parent, I don't think justice would ever be served no matter the sentence of years or of death. Because it would never bring my daughter back. My heart goes out to all the families. All 3 families. They ALL lost a loved one.
I live in Belton also. I was 7 years old when Kara went missing and I remember the buzz it created in our area but I was too young to really understand. A lot of people thought she ran away at first. When I got older and heard of Jessica's death and their bodies being found, I learned of Kylr Yust and everything about the guy screams killer. He does not have an ounce of goodness within him and he deserves to be under the prison, not in it..
Shocking neglect byPolice to follow up clues…WHY?
Sloppy inefficient police work! How did the murderer get top notch attorneys I wonder.
Top notch attorneys that should be in the same cell as him. It's disgusting the length some will ho to defend an obvious murderer, and for what? Their ego??!!
@@carolynwelsch no because you can't prosecute someone if they're not defended. People like you make me worry about the jury people. Not even an ounce of understanding of the legal system in your little head.
My heart goes out to the families of both of these beautiful young ladies. Such a sad story. 🙏❤️
What a lousy police department. I really do support our police but, they let this young girl down. Prayers for her family.
She let herself down. Want to get involved with a scumbag you have to be a little accountable.......it's a shame
It always sickens me when the monster who is on trial seem to have more rights than the victims and their families..It happens all the time...I cannot understand the law at all sometimes
Only because innocent until proven guilty. Even if it is obvious, it ideally prevents innocent people from being subjugated by the system as a default.
Same with pedophiles ... They'd get punished more being out of jail sometimes. Crazy... Free protection from C.O's so no inmates hurt them 😑🙄
@@Ridd333 they mean in jail as well....
@@Ridd333 and they don't seem to do that any other time when it's actually innocent people. So basically whatever they feel like doing or what fits the story they're going with.
@@Ridd333 no one said it was illegal btw they just said it's sickening which it is
Another great “hometown tragedy” episode. So impressed by these.
Thank you ♥️♥️
What an absolute tragedy.. two families ripped apart by the actions of a psychopath. My heart goes out to the families... RIP Kara & Jessica
It's so sad that 2 young lives were lost because of a cowardly psychopath and incompetent/lazy police. I really hope that Police Department was completely re-staffed.
Sociopath not psychopath. Big difference. HE'S A SOCIOPATH TO A T. I spent 4 years interrogating ISIS and the Taliban, they're SOCIOPATHS, too.
Thank you this is an excellent documentary.
You know, if I were a public defender, I could not live with myself if I defended something like this. I'm just saying. Rest in peace girls. You did not deserve this.
that is because you have a soul and believe in truth
I guess that’s why you’re not an attorney lol I don’t get why people try to shame defense attorneys….it’s their job, & someone has to do it.
@@isitoveryet9525 No, you are right. That is exactly why I could never be an attorney. Not going to argue that.

This is one the best videos I’ve seen on this case. I learned new interesting details and you put in great key moments of trial.
This was so sad their poor mothers.
You can really see the pain in Kara mom 😢😢
I was 17 in Missouri when Kara went missing. It was all over the news. I remember parents being freaked out because she was last seen leaving out of her high school never to be seen again. I had no idea this case had been solved. Thank God it has been.
Same age as my daughter, so sad
Another great video! Please keep them coming. These are tragic, but great to watch. And maybe, someone watching can help somehow.
Well done on your production!
If that town hadn’t had such a useless, incompetent, indifferent and lazy police force Jessica wouldn’t have been murdered as well.
💔UNBELIEVABLE!! The police really dropped the ball on Kara’s case!😡
I feel that the family should sue the police department for mishandling the case and possibly being responsible for her not being found.
Why wouldn't police follow up with the nursing home?
As soon as I heard his half brother committed suicide, I knew he was going to blame him for it!!! Ain't nobody killed those girls but him and him alone!!!!
I remember this story from years ago, but I didn’t know their remains were found. I’m glad the girls family were able to bring them home for a final burial. Now they can have closure. I don’t think anyone can heal from such a tragedy.💔💔💔
These families don't ever get closure. Just able to give their loved one a memorial. We call it closure to make ourselves feel better, and IMO, it's rather selfish.
@@lisamarieashby2523The families at least don't have to wonder where in the world their daughter is. They have a place to go to visit instead of the girl's remains out in exposure.
I was 16 when Kara went missing. I still remember the breaking news about her disappearance and her loved ones pleading for information. Every year on May 4th the news would do a piece on Kara's disappearance. They never let her case go cold or unknown.
I always got a bad feeling about Kylr. Kara good missing days after she filed a restraining order against him. Then fast forward to 2016 and Jessica goes missing yet again after being with Kylr.
It's sad that it took another murder (7 years later) to solve Kara's disappearance. RIP Kara & Jessica. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.
I signed in everyday at moms nursing home,needs to be done everywhere.
Wow, awful police work...What a terrible thing for the family to wait for justice because of incompetence.
These cops who instantly say PROBABLY ran away need to get a different job .. unless there's signs pointing to that then let's not do that please. They sound as awful as ones who say ohh u can't file a missing persons report until 48 hrs has passed. U might as well be on the killers side at that point.
Kara was such a sweet and beautiful young girl. It’s a tragedy what that man did to her and Jessica and their families.
Wowwwww these cops failed these families this town miserably.
I'm sorry to all the parents out there that lost their baby..nobody should half to grow old without their babies 😔😔😔 nobody...God bless you all
I don’t know you and you don’t know the story of how I lost my 18 yr old son, but I really appreciate your kind comments. Thank you
@@juliahays4435I am so sorry. I hope you are doing well today. No one should have to bury their own child. I am so sorry that you had to...

It's obvious he did these things, killing these woman. The authorities didn't do a very good job to start. How can anyone do these things to innocent people. 😔 very sad.
If only he had been stopped after the first murder....
My question is: was there ever an investigation to determine if in fact other ex-girlfriends went missing?
18:30 I don't know what such nice girls see in Bad Really Bad Boys like this "Serial killer", dating a guy that they know abuse drugs goes to jail from not so good family 🙄🤔 Recipe For Disaster!!! Don't trust men, do research, criminal records, ask people, tell your parents, don't give yourself so easily!!!
That whole runaway assumption needs to be done away with, if it hasn't been already. Every situation needs to be approached based on the evidence including the parents' assertions of character.
The trouble I have , is the lack of urgency to find children who were suspected of running away to begin with. Even if police have every reason to believe that child left on their own accord , finding that child safe , and re-uniting them with their family should have the same priority as any other missing child's case does. Runaways are endangered children. It's a fecking blessing when that child is found just hiding out at freinds house safe and unharmed. Who gives a flick if 7 out of 10 come home two days later and it's discovered they were just upset because they got grounded for a weekend. Whatever resources used to find these children aren't being wasted. Im sure there are people who would argue the point otherwise, but by all means before you do , go to the national website of missing and exploited children... look at all those faces looking back at you, page after page after page ... of children that have never been found , and their families will probably never see again. IF police treating every report of a missing child the same way , could have prevented one or two of those families the anguish of spending years /lifetimes not knowing what happened to their child, I would say that was resources very well spent.
Those police have completely failed those girls.
The use of the stockfootage is inspiring
How could someone as an attorney who has kids take a case to defend a person they know is guilty of murdering someone else's children and be able to sleep at night? It's despicable
Maximum incompetency from the police and sheriff's department.
It was a heartbreaking time. I remember watching it unfold over the years on local news. 💔
How is it possible that the abusive ex with a restraining order wasn’t investigated?? This isn’t real
Such a heart wrenching story
Its amazing how incompetent the detectives in this case were
21:35 The Law Failed Again giving such short sentence to this Serial Killer Kyler Seriously 🤔 What Wrong With Theses Police Officers? Did they have any training to become a Police? Are there Police Officers with experience? That's Insane...
You understand the police officers don't hand out sentences though right? ;-)
@@astrialindah2773 - if the police officers did their job on Kara's disappearance then there would probably not have been a second murder as they'd have found enough evidence to convict him on that.
As for the length of sentence. That's a function of the juries verdict, which was again in no small part related to police incompetence and laziness. On a more positive note he'll be in his late 70's when he's released. More likely than not he'll die before that.
Why didn’t they arrest the dude she had the restraining order against? 😡
They did... it was her ex-boyfriend Kylr and he said he was at the nursing home visiting his aunt.
How the hell did the cops mess up that bad they don’t verify the alibi of the guy and then they don’t get their surveillance is this a joke
Thanks ~
how many others has he killed has anyone looked for missing ppl in his life.
Sick cop statement...."It's a glorious day" when they found a dead person.
I cannot believe that the police dropped the ball all these times. Totally sloppy and incompetent work. This is horrible.
My children Holly and Brandon went to Belton High School with Kara. We knew Kylr did something to her. No one had an issue with her except her ex boyfriend Kylr Yurst. He already tried to kill her once before by choking her and threatening he was going to kill her. She was set to get a permanent restraining order against him in the Cass County court house but he killed Kara and dumped her body near Cleveland, Missouri where I have family out in the rural countryside. Fortunately, a mushroom hunter found Jessica Runions and a further search of the area Kara's remains were also discovered. Miracle's do happen.
The investigation was not taken seriously and lead's that could have led to be solved or lead to Kylr's arrest preventing Jessica Runions homicide also committed by KY. Jessica lived in our new hometown of Raymore.
Every year there was a walk through town remembering Kara and when she was found it was the biggest relief I've ever felt when the monster was found guilty and sentenced to 45 year's in state's prison. The jury was incredible with the trial and how they saw the truth.
How are the police in this town even able to keep a badge on their bodies?
Very good point!
I think it’s past time to change or stop “the runaway stories of young teenagers”,..as in this case!!!! So sorry for the parents and family.🙏
i still don't understand why top lawers will.go on to defend monsters like this and they can't do it for those wrongly accused. where are these top nudge attorneys when innocent people are sent to jail. ?????
Just found this channel. New material!
It always annoys me when people try to report a missing teenager and the police go “they are a runaway, they’ll be back”. Regardless if they are a runaway or not, it’s someone below the age of 18, so surely the police must be concerned about their welfare.
I had a 12 and 11 year old when Kara went Missing. Missouri was scared for our kids around then. RIP Kara and Jessica 😢😢😢.
I wonder how many young women have died because police declared they were "runaways"?
Prayers for both victims and their families
😔😔😔poor girls...poor parents...😔😔😔🥺🥺🥺
Sad that they say belton is a tight community..maybe back then but isn't now. It's a different town and the ppl aren't the same. I knew Kara...and she was so sweet and nice to me. It breaks my heart that she died without having a chance to live.

OMG those poor families. The police don't verify TYLER'S alibi at the nursing home, they don't get the video tape, they don't do follow up interview with the clerk and then they lost track of him. What did they do? That other girl would be alive. Then the jury convicts him on involuntary even though he killed her the day after she files a restraining order. This was a good episode but it made me angry.
Rip !!! Two Both young ladies 💜💜
Unbelievable, if they don't want to be a police dept, shut down and let somebody else have jurisdiction that will do their job. They are as responsible for the second woman's murder as the killer.
How do you not check his alibi,that is just crazy to me.That's standard procedure to check an alibi.I don't think it's incompetence,it's just laziness.
I remember this case I was a Senior in high school and a month later chelsea from overland park target was kidnapped the day before my birthday I'm so glad they found those girls killer .
It was Kelsey not Chelsea. Let's make sure victims names aren't messed up. I'm about 6 years younger than they are an grew up about 10 min from where Kelsey went missin
Give the monster a new trial and convict him on two counts of murder with a whole life sentence without the possibility of parole and meanwhile use this Thing masquerading as a human for medical research.
Once again lazy cops not doing their job. If I were the parents of Jessica and Kara, I'd sue that police department for gross negligence and eating too many damn donuts when they should've been out trying to catch a killer. None of them would have dropped the ball had it been one of their own kids, that's for bloody sure. They are a disgrace to their profession.
Jessica's death was entirely avoidable and seeing as this monster had a criminal record, he should've had an ankle monitor and close surveillance. The half-brother took the cowards way out, so we'll never know to what extent he was involved. Likely he also helped him dispose of their bodies.
RIP Kara and Jessica. My deepest condolences to their loved ones.
Kara was close to my age. I know growing up in KC, it's always stuck with me. It was what first made me truly scared to do anything alone as a female. Not finding her for so long. And then when Jessica went missing and his name was brought up, anyone with a lick of sense just knew we were going to either spend another decade looking for 2 lost girls or we were going to find them both dead. The fact that we still see his smug face on the news as excuse after excuse is made about him standing trial just makes me sick. These families had to relive this nightmare over and over until just what, last week when he was FINALLY convicted. He got to live an entire life while he took 2 away. This will always make my stomach turn.
Love seeing and hearing about a case so close to home. #KansasViewer
NO WAY was this kid at a nursing home with his great aunt!
Such incompetence from that police department. Jessica would not have been murdered if he wasn't released from jail.
Shitty little town made so by the slack police work.
Why didnt the reporters go find out if the monster man really visited his aunt that day if the police didnt do it. They bring it up years later but if they wanted the story even they didnt do it.
Cell phones and their pings could have been tracked even back then, and messages read.
Only half a story once agin. Delving into the nitty gritty of these cases was not reported.
Disappointing these 2 aspects of the case were not cleared up on here.
Another idiot commenting. Reporters don't check alibis in criminal investigations, they're journalists, not detectives.
His defense strategy was throwing his dead brother under the bus and labeled him a serial killer is beyond cold and might have worked on some people but how where they going to get past ex-girlfriends claims of attempts to strangle and also threatening aswell as bragging basically confessing to killing former girlfriend's before them?
F psychopath blaming his brother and showing no remorse whatsoever
3 episodes in on this channel and i hit the subscribe button 👍
The bare minimum I’ve always seen police do on these shows is verify a person’s alibi. I thought that was standard procedure. Poor Jessica’s murder could have been prevented.
