I feel like it's pretty obvious someone else was texting from her phone
Indeed
How would someone else know she cheated
@@allieballi369 my theory is that she probably told her step dad, and for some reason he killed her or something, and he was the one replying to the texts and all
(Since her friends said she cried so long for cheating, she must've felt sooo bad about it and confided in him)
Just like the Kiera Bergman case
I don't think this I feel like she could have been texting this way because she was nervous about running away or about the fact she cheated
100% sounds like the stepfather did something and then texted from her phone and then disposed of the evidence
yesss
Especially if he’s verbally abusing her and homophobic
Sophie Kuhn even her family thinks it was her stepdad
Truueeeee
like bella said he more than likely had something to do with it but he definitely could not have done it alone
Its so obvious the stepdad did something to her..
Its so annoying when it’s obvious but there’s no ‘actual’ evidence, with most of these unsolved cases theres always a suspect that just seems to be guilty but is left free
Princesss Payyton 100%.. my sisters close friends with her mom and told me so much more about her step dad. He’s definitely in on it
right, and why not just say I helped her run away. She wants to be alone. Or she asked me to not take her to the airport and idk what happened, but he just refused to say anything which looks so much more shadier than just saying the truth that she ran away UNLESS HES GUILTY and the truth was that he killed her :/ I just really hope it's solved soon. And I don't think the stepdad "helped" her escape in any good way.
Yes absolutely obvious the step dad killed her
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯def was him. He took her clothing and diploma to make it seem she “ran away”.
There's no way it isn't the stepfather, like they've arrested people for less HOW can they not arrest him and interrogate him more.
Thank You... they don't care.
You can't arrest someone for a hunch, must have evidence.
@@timmychang1791 well, why didn’t they even search his other property??
@@timmychang1791 actually they have 24 hours to make it stick so they could’ve
@@timmychang1791 police arrest people for less all the time... if they really wanted they could have at least brought him in for questioning
I’ve spoken to her mom. The case is thankfully still open, and there is an ongoing investigation on James, her now ex-stepfather. They celebrated her birthday this year in front of his house.
Good to get an update!!! And know that the case is bot closed and they are investigating him!!! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you..I just want to add that he could have stopped the car and launched the suitcase across the road to land in the ditch, the car doesn't have to be moving as Bella seemed to think, just a thought.
@@mrussell3264 the police said it was launched from a moving vehicle which is the only way it would encounter such force to have a wheel popped off and scuffs on it
GOD bless her mom and family, I lost my 28yr son. It takes a beat from your heart❤
In front of his house? Yaaaasssssss! I love this! We all know he did this. If he didn’t, he would be proving his innocence. That’s all there is to it. 💁🏻♀️
Her mum shared your video on her Facebook profile💛💛💛💛
Karolina Emilija Wow that is so fast!
thats great, thats to whole reason bella does theses videos to spread awareness and to share everyones story! 💝💝
@@TipTheScales27 It was very very fast! X
Her mom must be looking for her everyday 😢
Not knowing is the WORST :(( nothing worse than not knowing what happened to your family member.
People don't usually think of stuff like this but the diploma and clothes missing from her suitcase could have just been something the stepfather did to throw everyone off and make them think she left on her own!
Exactly. Plus they are easier to burn / dispose of than an entire suitcase.
But what about the two friends. They were two people, one could have thrown the suitcase out of the car, they knew about the cheating. She may have logged into FB on their computer and not thought about how the password might have been saved. They knew about her wishes and all of that stuff as well.
Could be trophies , like if he did it .
A diploma is basically unusable if you don’t have any other form of ID. You have to prove you are the person who earned the diploma and since she left her wallet and ID she wouldn’t have been able to do that, rendering her diploma a useless piece of paper. Why even bring it? She didn’t, someone else took it to throw the cops off!
Maybe someone else found the
suitcase and took the clothes and diploma, completely unrelated?
why am i low-key obsessed with Bella’s voice?
Shelby Jean same, her accent tho 🥰
Yes! 🙌🏼
Yes!! And her accent.. i love ittt👌😍
“NAUUEERRRRRR”
Also I love it when says, "No."
What kind of police can’t get into an app or someone’s phone in general? Smh
You'd be amazed how incompetent police is outside of fiction dramas 😂
lmfao idk if i sound dumb but like the people who create the phones should implement a feature that allows police to get into the phone regardless of security or not
@@amaraberger7113 seems to me like quite something difficult not to be cracked by hackers, mafia etc... They'd be "endangering" themselves + 'important' people...
In another video i heard he had written some of these phone features - jailbroken phone - and all the 3 letter agencies are located around there so who knows what type of work he did.
My question is why the police were like ‘nah she’s a teen, let her be, she’s not really missing, just flapping in the breeze with her imaginary inheritance living off the lay of the land.... she’s probably just chillin at the springfield mall.... for 7 days”. Hurdeeedurrrhhh
@@amaraberger7113 the problem it's that if police have that ability, criminals wil get their hands on the information to do it too and it will compromise the information of all kinds of people. It's just not very plausible. Phone companies can provide certain information from an account if police subpoena the records but that can only go so far. Different companies log different amounts of information.
This is from my town. It's always been such a weird case. Her missing persons flyers are still hanging up in all the local gas stations.
Same !!
Same
Any updates??
Her billboard is still up on the side of the road ❤️
The Stepdad is the only person I would suspect
Quite obvious i think 😉
Duh
I agree!
What about the friends? She texted her fiancé and said that she cheated but the only ones who knew that were the friends....
Cheryl Moss l
Feel so bad for her mum...she's gonna feel guilty letting that bastard "drive her to the airport" forever. He clearly did something to her.
Kim Pelders Exactly. She should not have to live with that guilt either for something she couldn’t control obviously he manipulated all of them into thinking he was trustworthy it’s not that moms fault at all 😔
Totally agree. I can’t imagine the guilt she feels, although it wasn’t her fault. I feel for all of her family and friends 😢😢 I hope one day they find her

She's gotta own hundreds of pairs! I couldn't quite tell what these ones were tho...

Am I the only one binge watching these at night stuffing my face ?
nope :) its one continous bella binge fest (both video and foood!)
While watching her videos yesterday night I got up and ate a baked potato for some strange reason 🤣
Current situation lol. I'm stuck I bed at home, sick to death watching all her videos. I'm glad that I found this channel. It's motivating me to try and change how these things are happening.
Nibbling on Pistachios.
Guilty!
Emotional abuse and verbal comes before physical abuse. Add homophobia to that and James is the clear suspect. My theory is that she told him about the 3 way which triggered some male entitlement in him and led to him trying to sexually assault her. He either succeeded and then decided to kill her or it went "wrong". He disposed of her and sent the texts. We've seen this story play out so many times, and I trust her family's instincts. The mum must feel terrible asking James to drive her to the airport. You never know what someone is capable of.
Totally agree with everything you said.
i think this theory is very likely
how do you explain the cell towers?
bouncyshak this is the theory I came up with too!
That seems with what information there is to be the most logical thing. I keep wondering to myself what part of her private life made her stay to latched on to her girlfriend in another state. It's not normal unless she had something going on in her private life that made her want to be away from the situation. But that wouldnt help to speculate on. I hope one day there is some resolution in this case for the family.
She’s a family member of mine. I appreciate you taking the time to spread word and bring more awareness.
Sorry for your loss prayers 🙏😔
I pass her billboard everyday on my way to base. I’m glad it’s still up and bringing awareness to her case! If it weren’t for it I wouldn’t have began searching the Internet for more info on her. I wish there was an update since it’s been a few years but hopefully one day soon ❤️
I think the ex stepfather is involved in her disappearance. Why else would he lie over and over again? She had a future she was looking forward to and no reason to disappear on her own. Those text messages don’t seem like they were sent by her either. It was like the sender was trying to buy time before the police got involved.
she may not have felt like she had a future after what she did.
The Stepdad has all fingers pointing to him.
Why is his phone not open, for what reason, if he had nothing to hide?
He should be investigated!
You should do a series of solved cases too, I think those would be as interesting as unsolved ones but can you do a small one on the Black Dahlia?
yeah she really should
I loved solved ones more. The unsolved ones leave me irritated and begging for justice/answers
Yesss
@@shaneculkin7124 it makes awareness of cases that are looking for more information to solve. It is more beneficial than spreading the word about solved cases.
solved sundays/found fridays
Who the hell did IT for this investigation? Surely an expert could have been brought in to unlock the information on both phones
Dont phones completely lock yu out after I think 10 failed tries, for forever?? Think I heard that on another investigation video. I could be completely wrong tho..
Apple phones (here in the US) cannot be unlocked without the passcode and have an increasing duration before allowing further attempts after failed attempts
Bella it looks like Katelin’s mom actually saw this video and shared it on Facebook! Amazing thing you’re doing bringing the case back into the spotlight. You’re amazing 💕
Taylor Zang what is her Facebook
I have links that covert pounds to dollars Celsius to Fahrenheit and kilometers to miles😂😂
She lived in my cousin’s neighborhood... hung out with her many weekends when we would go to a mutual friend’s named Pier to swim.... she had her pink hair at the time. My brother went to school w her... I didn’t know she went missing because I live with my mom and my dad ended up moving so I no longer saw her during weekends. However, like I said, my brother went to school with her as he lived w my dad. She lived in Fredericksburg. Her family even believes it was her stepdad. I can’t believe I saw this girl almost every weekend... it’s wild... it’s been like four years now
Lilac Liz yeah the stepdad is hella sketch
I hate to be so judgemental, but the stepfather seems to be the number one suspect?
Did she seem like the type of person to run away?
@@JadePayne .
Lilac Liz you seam like your lying
hi Bella! i'm from Poland and we had a couple of national mysteries as well, I think that some of them are great topics for your videos:
Magdalena Żuk, a girl who went to Egypt and died there, I think this case still remains unsolved (she allegdly comitted suicide)
Ewa Tylman, a girl who was found dead 6 months after she disappeared
and Iwona Wieczorek, a girl who disappeared over 7 years ago and still hasn't been found
I think these three were the loudest cases in Poland and I am honestly clueless as to what could've happen. it would be great to hear about them in your videos!
Tak tak tak! Pisałam już do niej kilka razy o Iwonie Wieczorek, mam nadzieję, że któraś z tych spraw tez kiedyś się pojawi u niej.
Wesołych Świąt!
I watched the search for Ewa Tylman from my flat’s window, I lived by the river where she died. That case still gives me chills..
The Magdalena Zuk case is soo mysterious. I literally get STUCK deep in research about it every single time it comes up in my news feed, an article, UA-cam, whatever. I have watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of these videos and the Magdalena Zuk case is one of maybe three or four that have truly stayed with me. It’s such a mystery. I really hope you decide to cover it, Bella! ❤️
Do you know something about the polish woman who disappeared in Berlin I think around the times of New years eve?
“100 kilometers away”
me, an american: 🤯
Crystal fr, damn aussies 🤦🏻♀️
@@shawneenpady9049 what you on? Miles make 0 sense. Get with the program America lmao
Frfr I be confused I be like so how many miles is that
i am american and i honestly don't understand either 💀
1 mile= 1.6 km
I'm friends with her mother on Facebook and its heartbreaking to watch her mom post every single day looking for her daughter and just wanting answers. Her mother will actually help out other families as well by posting other people who have disappeared. I hope Lisa finds out what happens and the stepfather needs to tell her
The step father knows way more than he's leading on.
I mean come on! He's the last one to be with her.
This girl met with foul play, period. She is not going to run away and just never have any contact with her family ever again because she cheated on her girlfriend! Especially when she was away from her family, she kept in contact with them a few times a day via phone and she has a new nephew. James has everything to do with her disappearance! How does he explain that he told her mom he dropped her off at the airport when he (according to him) actually dropped her off at the mall, but then there is no sign of her ever being at the mall. Also, I don't think someone is going to chuck a big suitcase out of a car window while it's moving, when they could be easily seen doing so by people in other cars. But he COULD have stopped on the side of the road, got out, walked to the other side of the car, get the suitcase out, the suitcase is then hidden from passersby by the car. Then he waited for the coast to be clear, and then chucked it and got back in his car. And then he doesn't show up for work EVER AGAIN from that day forward?? Come on, this guy did something with her!!
Exactly! Word for word, agreed.
Yup! Well said. I thought the same thing. Never goes back to work again? That's so weird!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 my thoughts exactly! Why did they insist on the suitcase being thrown out of a moving car.. it could have been thrown period. They should look at all the possibilities. I hope they find her
He didn’t actually tell her mum that he dropped her off at the airport, he did tell her he dropped her at the mall. What’s strange is that 8 minutes later Katelin texted her mother saying she was at the airport- if James was texting off her phone why he use two different stories?? I’m not saying he’s innocent, just something to consider
@@lauraedwards7389 No, at 7:24, she said James texted Lisa and said he "dropped her OFF, no worries". He was supposed to be dropping her off at the airport and he told her he dropped her off. He didn't say anything about dropping her off at the mall at this time.Then 8 minutes later, she got a text from "Katelin", which we know wasn't her, saying, she's at the airport. James at this time is playing like he dropped her off at the airport and that Katelin is at the airport. Then Amber gets a text saying she missed her flight. How could she miss her flight when she was supposedly at the airport well before (hours before) her flight even takes off? Lisa gets worried and feels like something is wrong so she calls James and THEN THAT'S WHEN he changes his story and tells her, "Well ACTUALLY, I dropped her off at the mall." and that Katelin asked him to drop her there and she would catch the metro to the airport. He was FIRST playing like he dropped her off at the airport with his text to Lisa and "Katelin's" text to Lisa.
I want to watch this rn but I’m gonna save it for when I’m walking on the treadmill bc it makes time go by so much faster bc I’m so into your videos I forget I’m walking🤣🤣
I do that same exact thing in the gym LOL
I just did that while on the treadmill! These kinds of videos are great for cardio! ❤️
I’m so glad I’m not alone 🤣
OMG what a great workout tip
This is so smart,I’m gonna start doing this
You’re gorgeous btw😘
The stepdad James is pretty much the only person I suspect in this. He clearly lied about dropping Katelin off at the airport then at the mall then ended up clamping up all together. Something terrible must have happened I cannot imagine Katelin being alive and not contacting her family with them being so close.
I genuinely think this girl is alive. I think there’s a lot of unanswered questions, why didn’t the police search james’ second home? How can they NOT access the secret messaging or crack james’ phone?! I think there’s definitely something fishy there... I think james knows where she is.
Emma Weaver I think you are right. All kinds of people are speculating James sexually assaulted her and killed her but it seems far fetched he doesn't seem like a loner type of dude who would do something like this. Not too mention it seems like James was probably only Male she trusted hence why he was giving her rides. I think if James had wanted to do something to her he would have done it years before. I'm not ruling James out but she was young and maybe wanted a new start
I was thinking this too!!! There's a reason police aren't pushing it. They know something we don't. Maybe even have reason to believe she went no contact for a reason.
Maybe she's in James second home hiding
I think she has passed. I think her being grown up now and probably trusting James like a father figure, he took it the wrong way and hit on her or made a sexual advance toward her or could have even rape her and then killed her in a panic because of what he did. Him quitting his job is a thing a lot of people who kill do.
Apparently no one in the world is smarter than him
Thank you for cover this case! She a family friend. The exposure is always needed!
Awwww I truly hope she comes up alive and well ❤️
sharai weston she has a cousin who was murdered about 4 years before her. Both are unsolved cases.
i live in the same area where she went missing scary stuff :( i go to courtland and my friend is going to riverbend
He took her diploma and clothes to make it look like she ran away
Right off the bat why would James tell her mother he already dropped her off at the airport & wait until she figured out she really didn't for him to switch his story and say "oh I dropped her at the mall". Being a man he probably just threw the most obvious place a teen would hang out in the mix to cover up something. What would she had needed so important that she HAD to stop at the mall before her flight. Makes no sense! (I might reply with other agitations of this case that y'all might agree with)
Also why would she be staying with a friend needing some time alone when shes been looking forward to all these plans? Of course after James said she went to the mall he has to cover up something by making her reply with excuses. So he had to make it look like she's pushing them away and got cold feet essentially
Also if she was running away why would she throw her money away?? Why would she bundle up her clothes and diploma and carry that around instead of her suitcase with all her stuff??
Annie B. Jones this is a really good analogy of the situation!
YES that's what I thought, Bella didn't mention how he told the mother he dropped her off at the airport then changed his story. SUS
It makes me sick that while searching for this young woman, they just so happen to stumble upon oh *another* young woman who is dead.
Watch your backs, girls!
YES!!! That was very distressing and sad. If we were looking a little more often, how many young women's bodies we would found accidentally?
It is very suspicious for me that the body was found on the same road where her luggage was thrown. What could connect these two cases is human trafficking.
Exactly! I see a single female walking along almost every time I go out. Worse, wearing headphones or something like looking on their phones. Do that stuff in a STORE, not walking alone!
This happens to many times looking for one body and find another 😕🙄😒
I wish Bella would have talked about that more. Why they sure not connected?
@@JNMKlover You can be on a phone and still aware of surroundings. I try to be. I also like to make it look like I am talking to someone so any would be assailants think someone would be alerted right away.
The mom made a statement that the stepfather hasn't shown up to ANYthing the family has done in memory of Kaitlin and that to me says enough She trusted him with her daughter and now lives with that regret 💔
I wouldn't show up either if they accused me of her disappearance? im not saying this guy is innocent but thats not something of great relevance. but back to the point, idk how he hasn't been arrested. I feel like its so obvious he has something to do with it. one day she will get her justice. James thinks he's untouchable, he's gotten away with it for, what? 7 years now. there is always new evidence or a slip up, he isn't going to be safe forever.
this has nothing to do with the video, but i’ve been watching so many of your videos that i referred to a parking lot as a “car park” yesterday while at the grocery store. my mom was so confused!!
Hahahahah
Hahaha that’s cute!
@RosemaryAnna we say car park in the UK too
Lol we call it a car park in the UK as well. It’s really weird to say parking lot
MIRI lol it doesn’t really make a difference. Different cultures.
I would love to watch you dissect and present cases that have been solved as well. 🙌 It’s still very interesting. This one is very weird... I have no idea what to think 🤔
Kristen Leanne I would love this, some that were actually solved.
This happened in my hometown. A majority of us think her stepfather is involved..
He did it the police know the prosecutor need to file charges there have been many cases where there is no body
I think the stepfather had everything to do with her disappearance.
Did this case every get solved so sad 😢
I actually suspect some form of human trafficking. :\ it's pretty prevalent here in VA.
if theres one thing i take from these cases are that the victims are usually compassionate, kind, and self less innocent people who had their lives or normalcy taken from them and i guess thats what really hurts since they dont deserve what ever happened to them.
Worth remembering people usually remember and describe the dead with rose tinted glasses. I'm not saying they weren't decent people, but I do doubt that every murder victim ever was this relentlessly kind and wonderful person who was always great to be around that they seem to be described as. I imagine most murder victims are just generally your average kind of people, perhaps with people who are suspicious or self-serving being slightly more survivable than those who are trusting. It's just that most people when describing a loved one who just died/went missing aren't going to nitpick about all those times they annoyed them or didn't do something for them.
Can you please do a video on the Daniel morcombe case! I know it’s been solved but would still love to see a video on it xxx
Amy Wynne she has

@@Saraahh4 she hasn't yet
I was watching this as I was falling asleep and when you said "Amber" I instantly zoned back in I had to skip back and see the context I thought you broke the fourth wall and were somehow talking to me through a video
Hahahah
It's way too big of a coincidence that both the stepdad and katelin have encrypted phones... I'm sure he encrypted her phone so he could send texts from it from a different location
I scrolled for quite a while without seeing this information - so wanted to post it. I have watched/listened to so many things about this case. The "second property" that he has is where his mother lives. For some crazy reason, the cops are not allowed to search it because she resides there, not him, which obviously still makes no sense. So she is not likely to be being held there unless the mother doesnt know or is on board with it. Katelyns mother has suggested James's mother could be part of the suitcase throwing as James has seemingly no friends or social life except for her, but I find that crazy to imagine (but i don't know her so anything is possible).
I'd love to think that she just ran away - but if thats the case, James should be more cooperative with the family and police. He probably talked to a lawyer which (smartly) advised him against a polygraph... but if he helped her in any way that day, by lying about driving her or where he drove her (obvious by her pings that he was), or actually taking her somewhere else, he should have come clean by now. I agree with most people that he more than likely did something to her. I hope they get some answers to this one for her poor family.

bella works so hard on these videos and it shows ✨💌
I don't see the "she left on her own" theory
If I was to leave a town and start fresh I wouldn't leave my id and cards behind
Just doesn't make sense
if you didn’t want to be found you would
Even if she really wanted to start a new life and didn’t want to be found, I think she would have found a way to let her family know she was ok
It don't cos then the diploma will not be helpful the
And torment ur family that loves u. And her fiancee. And even an ex stepfather.
If the stepfather is innocent and did help her run away then he would have definitely said something when he started looking like a suspect so I don’t see that being the case at all he definitely hurt her
Amanda Stankowitz Not necessarily. He could be like a drug dealer or something and have a fear of interacting with police. Many men have a distrust of authority whether the authorities have good intentions or not
That, and even innocent people with any common sense should ask for a lawyer when they are asked to speak with the police. The cops can and will lie to you to get information, and you can accidentally incriminate yourself.
literally as soon as you mentioned a step father my mind was like “it was him. he did it.”
If I learned anything from criminal minds. The killer will almost always try to insert themselves into the investigation to deter the suspicion from themselves. So this will be voluntarily polygraphed. They will go out of their way to answer questions and “help” to make it look like they are innocent. When you read the first text that she sent her fiancé I knew for a fact he killed her and that he was the one sending the texts
thank you for all the hard work you've been putting into releasing so much content lately!!

Whether she ran away or something else, I think it's highly likely the step dad was involved in some way. Also, like you said, how would the person texting know she had cheated unless someone was somehow blackmailing her with that information? So intriguing
Bella pls do a case on the tinder date u mentioned. The guy got away with it and many people think he did push her out the balcony. He recorded the whole fight leading up to and during the fall and it's so haunting; he even threatens to throw her off the balcony before she 'fell'
💯💯💯
Bruh. If she ran away, she would have come forward by now! Someone who loves to text and be on social media (me) is not going to just throw their whole life away. I moved out of state for a year and a half and I had to come home because I couldn’t take it anymore.
For some reason I kind of feel like the cheating thing was just a coincidence.. before she even said that Katelyn HAD in fact cheated and she said that Katelyn texted amber I thought to myself “that’s something a kidnapper would text from her phone as a way to get the gf off his back...” idk if that’s just me, I just feel like I could see James texting amber that off katelyns phone even if he didn’t know about her cheating?
Very possible. He also had access to her phone, there may have been texts on there already like "last night was a mistake", it's not hard to think he could have found out somehow or got a clue even without knowing the details.
I have a theory that he is keeping her because he is either alone, or sexually abusing her either one, but he was grooming her in the beginning and he is using her diploma as leverage and she needs clothes to live but she wouldn't need any of the other stuff otherwise. He had her in a car so he had the upper hand and he took her to a place where she wouldn't be found so he could continue to have a relationship with her
Bella, there is a case about a dozen of women that were found in a plain Mesa area in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They were all believed to be involved in prostitution and authorities never found the person or people responsible for the murders. I hope you can cover this story that has slowly died out in our city but is an still alarming and nerve wrecking murder case. I love your videos btw! Thank you in advance.
*solved sundays* should definitely be a thing you do on this channel!
or *found fridays*
"You can't lug a suitcase out while you're driving."
Obviously you've never seen The Big Lebowski :)
And if you haven't, you need to!
I love that movie
I like it when it says ‘bizarre’ in the title
Love u Bella - just wondering how many earrings do you have 😂😂😂 x
A lot hahahah
Bella Fiori where do you buy your earrings?? You always have the best ones
I think the stepdad may have started sexually assaulting Katelin and maybe didn’t want her to leave him again? He was her last option to take her to the airport. It could explain the clothes being taken out of the suitcase but the money and wallet being thrown out. He doesn’t have a reasonable alibi in my opinion. I don’t think she did actually cheat, it was just more of an explanation for Amber. I hope that this case is solved as soon as possible, not only for closure and potentially saving Katelin, but because it’s so confusing! Great job with this video Bella, per usual! I love you and your channel❤️ Happy Holidays to everyone!
but the two friends admitted they all slept together?
honeymoon I don’t either now! I commented that only half way through the video
Yeh the friends she hung out with the night before admitted to them messing around tho. I thought maybe the same thing but thought the stepdad did it.. until I continued the video lolol I used to make comments on videos b4 fully finishing lol an I now dont do it anymore lol wait until I'm done then reply to comments or make some of my own.
Why would the two friends just say they slept with her then, so they would be suspects?? That makes no sense to make up or say if it wasn't true
I know the comments about Bella's appearance are annoying. However, the more comments this video gets, the more exposure the case will get because this video will have more activity.
she didn’t cheat, her friends assaulted her. Took advantage of their drunk state
You are the only one who's stayed the same throughout all your UA-cam career. Props for that and for not flexing on your subs. I hate people who do that. That's like Flexing to people who donated money to you... Wait it is exactly that.
The stepdad probably made advices towards her, she fought him off, he killed her so she wouldn't talk or he got to rough and hid her body, wrote all those text to make it seem like it was her, ditched her clothes and tried to make it look like he just ran.
I’d love if you talked about the Meredith Kercher murder. I know it’s technically a “closed case” but there are SO MANY shady things that it would be amazing know your point of view and theories
Seeing he is such a strong suspect, IDK why they couldn't have gotten a warrant for his phone and found someone to crack the security. Like, there are professionals, especially in the law enforcement field that can get past such barriers, am I wrong? I certainly hope not..
The fact that James didn't go to work and actually left work makes him the prime suspect in my eyes
We need to talk about Kevin...
Lisa Rudge that's exactly my thoughts🤔he seems really strange
lol, savage...
Not everyone is a suspect smh
@@melaniegs5952 but he is...
I've never been this early to one of Bella's videos it's a Christmas miracle!!😍
Ughh I don’t want it to be over 🙁🙁 anyone else ?!?
The stepfather clearly killed her and was texting from her phone. Poor girl this was really upsetting:(
I’ve seen people arrested for way less… how the hell was the stepdad not taken into custody given he was the last person to be with her and CLEARLY lied about where he took her! I just can’t believe they didn’t look further into him and how he was just able to decide not to talk to authorities, and they were just like “okay, we tried. Let’s pack it up boys” … I mean wtf. At the very least, thoroughly check his second property!!!
A thought about the suitcase - yes, it would've taken two people (one to drive, one to throw) if the suitcase were tossed from inside the vehicle, BUT what if the suitcase was on the roof or in the bed of the truck and it fell off/out? In that case it could be just one person in the vehicle.
you remind me so much of Dua Lipa!
I was literally about to comment this
jessiexhenry I literally said this the other day, totally agree.
Did the girl who died have ID on her? Maybe Katelin stole her identity if she ran away.
They found out that she was part of a love triangle. They couldn't find any evidence it was related. I heard a podcast on her a little while ago
If she died they wouldn’t use her ID because it would come up
Tehe Please processed, I want to hear what else your noggin conjures up.. im intrigued!
Love you Bella so sad you putting up videos everyday is almost over.. but can’t wait till Christmas!!!
Someone keeps posting stuff from her snapchat from her phone. The family said it’s happened 4/5 times the last time being just a few weeks ago, and the police are doing absolutely nothing to track it/ monitor it! They fully believe it’s James taunting them. It’s so so sick!!! This case needs to blow up the family must be beside themselves with frustration!!!
Juniper Perrett how do you know it’s from her phone
he could’ve took her clothes to keep her hostage on his other property. maybe he took the diploma because she said that is was all that she wanted to keep.
What about the other girl found dead ? I think there must be a correlation there! What if there was an accident and she was involved so she runaway and her stepdad helped her ? I think the dead body found should be looked in ...
It was an unconnected love triangle. Wish she would have just simply said that
He was being super cooperative in the beginning to see where the cops are at in the case, and to see if they're getting closer to the truth- what he did to her. This whole case I feel like was him (James) stalling the cops bc all cops believe teens runaway all the time no matter what. Just because teens can be rebellious doesn't mean they're always runaways and that they should turn the other way. & This is proof bc they believed text messages to be this teen when it could've been anybody. Just bc it's coming from her phone didn't mean it was actually her typing..
I would love for you do a video on Heather Elvis who is from my area. They prosecuted the couple who they think killed her, but her body was never found nor a confession so no one knows what truly happened. Doing a video on her would bring more light to the situation and maybe one of your viewers might know what happened to her.
I just watched a video about her a couple of days ago.
Tazhie Nunurbusinezz it’s such a sad case :( I feel it’s so sad too because heather made some mistakes but what if that was your daughter and doesn’t mean she had to die for it. I truly hope her family gets closure one day.
@@dreamwishergirl The video was very well done & I think it was about 50 minutes long so it went pretty in depth. I don't tend to judge people for their mistakes because there is not one person who hasn't made any.
Nobody has been charged with her murder which sucks... Just kidnapping...
@@tazhienunurbusinezz1703 what is the name of the person who did the video about her?
The step father obviously did it. I knew early on in the video when the girl went to the SFs house and everything was cool. Then all of sudden she d idnt make it to the airport and all the sketchyness started to happen. It's obvious the guy did something.
I have a hard time believing the theory that she left without taking the cash.... And she took her clothes but ditched her suitcase? What was she carrying all her clothes in?
Bella thank u for all your hard work. I’ve sooo enjoyed these
The stepfather is lying about all sorts of things so he is the main suspect, the last person to see her alive. She would not leave her wallet and money. Likely, the other suitcase was just never found. He probably threw them out in two different locations.
why do you only update when it’s night and I’m f*cking scared of watching these murder or disappearances’ cases 🤧 guess I’ll have to wait for tomorrow.. Love all your videos tho ❤️
Ana Ramos it’s night where u are at lol it’s 3 PM where I’m at
That’s so weird cause is like 9:50 am in Australia 🇦🇺 times zones fuck me up !! 😂
It’s 11.16pm here in England
Literally same 😩🤣
Ana Ramos It's not night time everywhere when Bella uploads!
I text differently when Im mad, nervous, or in a rush.. I think she was texting
Her phone never left the city they were in. She never made it to the airport. If she was texting why would she lie?
I imagine whomever did so trashed whatever she had originally packed safely in her suitcase, and dumped all her carryon stuff into it before he/they tossed it separately.
Have the friend&bf been cleared?
I hope some resolution can come for all those that care/d for her.
Is it just me or do I just suspect that in every video Bella memorizes everything she has to say😂if she does then dang she’s amazing
“I need to relax cause that’s a lot but...” I say this to myself like thirty times a day
It’s not actually impoverished youth, it’s just “high-risk” preschool aged children. It’s actually pretty easy to qualify for it. Love your videos!
You have to meet certain qualifications to be eligible for it... If you're on Medicaid or food stamps, you're automatically eligible. I worked for a Head Start program for almost 5 years, so I know...
You can send timed or scheduled texts. So, he could of set that up to make sure they pinged at odd distances and at odd times.
PART 6
It seems like he was trying to buy enough time until the next morning. He was fine with everyone finding out the next day that the girl did not flyout as planned, but he did not want anyone to find out before that. Unfortunate for him, the fiancé has become suspicious of the texts and contacted the mother, but then fortunate for him that the police did not react until several days later. He needed only one night and he received even more time than he planned. He needed the rest of the day and the night to finish committing the crime or to hide the evidence of the crime that was already committed.
If there are ANY vivid evidence left, they will not be on the property where the mother dropped off the daughter. They can’t be. Based on the texts, I was sure that the evidence was all taken care of before the morning, …..so when you said that the police came, I didn’t think they would find anything, and it so happened to be true. He was to carful at planning out the texts and there is no way he didn’t plan out how he would have demolished the evidence. Plus there is a high chance that the crime did not even occur at his home. There is a possibility that he told her that he needs to get something on the way to the airport and so they left much earlier than anticipated and he drove her off to a different place.
To say the truth I was shocked when you said that he owns another property and they didn’t check it out. By the time they got there, there was no evidence there as well.
It seems like the police’s ignorance has helped him at least twice.
Sorry for the lengthy message (6 PARTS). I usually do not leave comments, but this time I had to add my input to this.
I can only see this one comment haha
all fingers point to the stepdad but it’s weird because he couldn’t have necessarily planned anything, he got asked to drop her off.
Britney Kamalani yeah never thought about this , maybe she wanted to vent about the threesome to him , but because he didn’t approve of her lifestyle he got really frustrated . this could have ended in foul play and he got scared and used all of her belongings to cover up what he did and used the threesome as an excuse about why she would run away?????? irdk everytime i come up with a theory something comes up that makes it seem unlogical 😭
I think he did plan it he was the only one who could of dropped her off
PART 2
Due to the fact that she is a highly intelligent girl, she did graduate high school 2 years early, she would of known that no one would be able to track her down through her suitcase, and also because she would have known that carrying clothing in the suitcase that they were already in, is much easier than carrying the clothes in her arms or easier than transferring the clothing into a bag, as well as she would have known that no school will accept her without her ID and without the ability to pay for schooling (credit/debit), and even if she does get into a school MYRACULASLY she had to have driving license in order to be able to travel to school and back, and she would have known that eventually, she would have needed some form of healthcare (once again ID’s and other cards are needed). All of these reasons indicate that if she was an intelligent individual (which she was), she did not throw away her suitcase if she wanted to run away and start a new life (and if she has thrown it, it was done not by her own will). So, it is safe to say that if she would have decided to (for some strange and unexplained reason) to “runaway”, she would have kept the suitcase and all of the belongings inside of it and had taken it with her. In this case, the suitcase would have not been found because she would have had it with her in her “new life”. Since the suitcase was dumped, with essential content (ID’s and debit cards are much more essential than fresh clothing), I am personally ruling off the theory that she decided to run away and start a new life and go to a new school (because if your IQ level is at least average, you would be able to say “that ain't happening, girl. Not with all the decisions you made”).
These were the reasonings to why she did not run away to start a new life and a different school, based on the situation of the suitcase.
As for the suitcase-maybe he sat it on top the car and let it fall off to make it look damaged.
I hope this gets solved :( poor girl. I hope she is ok where ever she may be. ❤️
The girl looks so nice. Who would even hate her to be able to do something :( I hope she’s alright and I hope she returns home. All of these stories are so sad.
I don’t get how it would be the step dad? Bell said he’s been in their lives since Kate was 3. He SEEN her last but maybe something happened AFTER he dropped her off? I would definitely question him, yes.
This happened in my town! Can't believe you're talking about it, this was a really big thing and then slowly it was just silent, happy you are talking about it!!
