Oklahoma’s Dena Dean cold case: Teen vanishes after late-night meeting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- From 2018: Dena Dean was your typical teenager, on the honor roll at school, working part-time at a local fast-food place and dating boys. One night in 1998, she went to meet someone, but she never came home. MORE: bit.ly/3mzXekK
“She was 36 last month. But she’ll always be 16 in my heart” what a heartbreaking thing for a parent to go through
When he said that my heart instantly melted! You can tell he loves & misses her fiercely 💞💞
😪😪😪💔
Bless that man he is such a sweet guy and a good dad. That's how a dad should act when they're kid is missing, quite a bit different than ole chrissypoo "I just want them to be safe" Watts
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you much love and light.
He broke my heart :(
All I had to see was the man yelling "REPENT' in his living room to know he was most likely involved.
So incredibly wacky.....
😆
Yep!
🤪🤣
Yup! Same for me! Like his family is CRAZY!
i absolutely love when retired detectives form a group and most often times they do more work than ones employed.
EDIT: yall realize they take on more than one case at a time? this specific group was working on from what i researched about 3 cases at once idk where yall keep getting the information that they only work on one case at a time lol cause that’s false.
Yes, I respect that dedication.
Because they are working for more than a paycheck!
Jennifer Kern truth!!
Maybe Because they can zone in on only one case. Rather than many that come in weekly or daily at a regular job. Either way these people really love what they do. Amazing
Probably because other detectives have way more cases to solve after and before this case. Retirees have way more time on their hands, no little kids no full time carer
Some of this seems pretty obvious. Who else could it have been?
like your video
@@Cj.693 ikr
You need evidence beyond a reasonable doubt in the court of law so it’s harder
@@Cj.693 ?
@@SummyrDoll i think what theyre trying to say
They need evidence to prove the doubt so thats why its harder.
Cuz it will be useful during trial stuff
Narrator: His dad preaches from his living room.
Me: Hm, ok, nice quiet atmosphere I guess.
His dad: “REPENTAH!!!! REPENT!!!! YOU NEED TO REPENT!!!! 😤😠”
Him and his pastor dad killed her
@@hahehahe4215 absolutely,they did!!!
Lmaoooo that video scared me
🤣
@@nunuhuda5093 Yes it was frightening! Lol
The passion of the retired detectives trying to get Dena and her parents some justice is so kind and good of them, i hope they succeed!!
Yes Our Boys in blue are heroes also ✍🏽❣️No matter what a few bad apple’s don’t get in the way Of the ones who cares💙
@@xboxswitch9457 so that makes taking someone's life justified i think not!!
Leo Oel woof. Who peed in your Cheerios?
I believe they'll get something soon. Advancements in DNA technology added to the fact that they still have Dena's clothes from that day...I've watched so many cases where decades later, new testing techniques finally match a suspect to a crime.
@@SLone3251 it would be nice to see some justice for her and her family
They should focus on boyfriends dad. That man is crazy for sure
REPENT!
YOU NEED TO REPENTAH!!
I believe strongly in the assumption of innocence. I also believe that someone that fanatic may see themselves as somehow having the right to take punishment for what they see as sin into their own hands.
Ikr😳
astrohaterade wait what?
The way the reporter opens her eyes so much is freaky!
She’s too expressionist 😆👌🏻
Her facial expressions make her seem insincere.
LOL! Her eyebrows are almost at her hairline!
@@MoonInVirgo Yes, it's like she's forcing it, and so ends up over-acting. She makes it hard to focus on the story.
All you ladies now have me focusing on her. I didn’t before. Lol
as soon as they showed the dad screaming "REPENT" i was like yeah it was him
You can tell her father loves her so much. This broke my heart. Prayers for her family❤️♥️
How was he bowling if he was working and she went through his checkstand. Wtf.
I thought she went through his aisle Thursday , and he called her to meet up on Saturday.
Michael did it. Get him. He's been free long enough. Murder has no statutes of limitations.
They need clear evidence (which they don’t really have) in order to put him behind bars for good, so there is no point in going to trial.
Ok! Go grab him and turn him into the police. Let us know how that turns out.
@Jonathan Rojas So what you're saying is that innocent people ALWAYS work well under pressure, and if they don't, that means they're a piece of shit person? Wow. For your sake, I hope you're still a child..
There is zero evidence. I think he did it. But I really don't think this far down the road that it will ever go to court.
Based upon what? It seems far more likely - to me, anyway - that it was his father, and perhaps his uncle as well, rather than Michael.
I feel so bad for her father. 20 yrs without his baby girl. I hope they find peace soon.
I have a daughter & son who are my EVERYTHING , and when the father broke down crying I broke out in tears as well . I cannot imagine the pain they have gone through . God Bless .
The boyfriend's dad 🤫😒something ain't adding up from his behaviour
Repent!
He’s unstable, at best. I damn sure wouldn’t want my daughter to be in involved in that family, in any way. I honestly believe they are responsible for her death, likely the preacher himself.
I watched this on Hulu and from what I remember, dad put cops on a high speed chase. He went to the next town over and thought they couldn't get him.
Reeepeeeeennttt!!
He crazy as hell that's what it is
Dad and son should of been arrested a long time ago. Come on 20 years.
The Dean’s are wonderful people. All your racing family still praying for justice.
9 adverts In a 22 min vid - ease up
@Patti Yeah, I don't know if I could let the son walk around free knowing he killed my daughter. I think I would have to do something about that. But perhaps revenge is a waste of time.
that interviewers eyes were popping out of her head
😭😭
😂😂
Thought I was the only one who noticed. Damn girl relax!
Too expressionist 😆
She off them perc 10s
Those retired investigators are HEROES
👍
Like seriously, so admirable.
Deena's father is so adorable I felt so sad watching him cry I just want to give him a big hug
Her daddy breaks my heart. Poor girl, her lie got her killed, most likely by Michaels crazy looking father.
I thought about his dad! The way he was yelling, trying to be a “preacher”
Michael's Dad scared me doing all the histrionics...
Demon preacher lol
@@jamellfoster6029 He's a creepy creep! 😨😲
@@didibolter9362 True... I'm a Christian but I can't deal with that screaming. It gives me a headache...
@@jamellfoster6029 Oh that's for sure sweetie, he gave me a headache too, after he scared me so much, eeek! 😨
Why does the interviewer do that over the top shocked face, it's almost offensive.
she does that all the time in every single video she hosts so tbh i think that's just her face i don't think it's an over the top thing 💀💀 it happens so often in every video she's in i'm sure it's natural
It’s annoying
LMFAO 💀💀ikr
jazzy™ that’s what i though but in another episode she talks about how she’s a victim of abduction and r*pe so i’m thinking it’s probably a trauma response?? idk i think i’m too invested in all these cases
@@haleypaterson5904 do you remember what episode? I wasn't aware of that
Poor poor dad... poor poor mom ...
#hug
my mother always said that a parent's greatest fear is having their child die before them. I'm so sorry for all parents that have lost their children.
My parents buried my brother when he was in his early 40’s. It was very difficult losing my brother and as difficult seeing my mom and dad’s grief.
Michael Converse would’ve came up missing until my daughter was located
Hell yeah💯
Eeexxxactly!!
I like your style
Watching her father cry is so hard to watch. His heart is so broken 💔 He loved and misses his daughter so much. Poor father, May God give him and his wife peace and strength. And may Justice be served when her killers are found. R.I.P. DENA 🙏❤️🌼🌺🌸🌷
And her pregnancy. His father wouldn't have allowed it being a preacher.
@@emilynantt856 ?..
@@oceanaforrest1268 in the Christian Holy Bible, it is a sin to have a child without being married ;)
@@joelle4844 isn't that hypocritical? Since Mary was forcibly impregnated by a child that isn't her husbands?
@@kittyb275 the entire bible is hypocritical lol
Evil man…
🙏🙏 God Bless all these Retired Investigators and Detectives in the Task Force following up and doing all these Cold Cases from missing people.
Awww I cried when the dad was describing her 😭💔
Crime Watch is silly as hell. I smh every time I see them walk up to a murder suspects door, expecting cooperation lol
they are entertaining as hell tho😭😭
I love it. I hope it makes the people inside very uncomfortable. I know it does. Anyone that shows up to my door I don't want to see I'm uncomfortable. Imagine knowing you murdered someone got away with it & ppl keep coming to your door to remind you of the evil shit you did. I imagine it's uncomfortable. I hope they keep feeling uncomfortable for the rest of their lives.
Knock knock! 😨
Real silly. Regardless of what someone is suspected of, you’re still on someone’s property. Hopefully, they are escorted by the proper authorities.
Nobody in thier right mind is going to disguss anything with a reporter who's banging on thier door.
Man, to the parents, I am really sorry...=(
I remember this story. The preacher dad helped hide Dena's body.
I just watched a similar case on Cold Justice yesterday where the girl really was pregnant and they found her and the baby's skeletal remains on her boyfriend's and father's property. The detectives were able to find out through DNA that a) her boyfriend was the father and b) the gender of the baby was a boy so the victim's family could get a proper gravestone for him.
@@LisaMaryification Someone could of had a precious little grandson to love and the dad would of had a sweet little son to cherish, so incredibly sad!!! 😢😢😢
Yea still unsolved tho.
And to think all over something that wouldn't happen makes it sadder!
So so sad BUT the reporters eyes were freaking me out !
🤣that's the face i make when my contacts get dry and itchy.
@SUCKMEOFF ROPER LOL thank you for the show🤣🤣👏👏
Ldyether hahahaha
SUCKMEOFF ROPER hahaha that’s hilarious
16:43 lol
It breaks my heart whenever I see parents crying for their baby
Seeing this poor man crying over the loss of his daughter absolutely broke my heart. It brought me to tears. No parent should have to deal with the loss of their child like this.
Nothing could've prepared me for the clip of the bfs dad 😂😂😂 wasn't expecting that at all
REPENT
It scared me 🤣
Giiiiiiirrrlll!! 😩😩😂😂🤣
I have on headphones. I'm now partially deaf and permanently scarred.
I know me too 😂😂
“REPENT”
I think we all know who was at least involved. That is definitely your man
Poor father and mother they r still struggling so much with all this . Its not easy moving on . I pray they find some peace 🙏🏻❤️
They’ll never ‘move on.’
I pray for justice 🙏
"... and an uneaten sandwich, so we knew someone was wrong"
HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
Right! Not down playing the horror of their tragedy at all! My heart and prayers go out to the family and the investigative team indeed!🙏🙏🙏
Something ** oopsiedoopsie
Yeah that cracked me up, this wasn’t the most professional crime story I’ve ever watched. Yikes.
Well she was 5'2" and 161 lbs. A uneaten sandwich would be a huge red flag.
Her dad crying legitimately tore my heart apart 💔💔 I hope this family atleast gets some kind of closure, no one deserves to feel this way or experience this kind of brutality. And for the person or people responsible, you will get what’s coming to you. You don’t hurt people like this and continue living a happy life. Karma will get you in the end.
Dena’s father breaks my heart.
Victims family members suffer so deeply.
She would have been 38 in 2020 but she’ll always be sweet 16. I pray they get justice 🙏🏻❣️ If anyone hears an update let us know plz.
Every little girl should have a dad like this💜
Its really crushing to see her dad’s crying 😢
How did she go through her boyfriends check out lane if he was bowling?
Maybe he didn’t close it out when rushed off to his alibi lanes. I don’t know how it works being a cashier though.
@@Sunset553 the receipt has his name on it. He would have to log in to it for his name to be on the receipt.
That’s what I was saying lol make it make sense 💯💯🤔
I totally expected to see that preacher start slingin' rattlesnakes around the room while vomiting pea soup, then found myself a little disappointed when it didn't happen. :P
Evil pure evil
I too am disappointed. The least he could do is have gotten bit, a venomous snake getting bitten by another venomous snake would have been nice.
Think this is the first time I’ve seen someone without a “smile that could light up a room,” has been murdered. Shit
Nobody's safe out here rn
Sir 🥴🥴😩😩😩
That’s rude..
The fact that she lied about being pregnant, leave me speechless. She may have been killed because of that lie.
maybe she DIDN"T Lie! Maybe she thought she was then found out she was not. Don't assume things. It is sad that they resorted to killing the poor girl! WHo does this???? CRAZY FAMILY!
@@anitajarvis8234 she lied, didn’t you watch the video ? But they try to down play it as a joke but come on
@@sergiomacias5145 so she weather or not she lied-they killed the girl!!! Is that normal behavior and reaction to a baby you don't want to com into the world bc your dad is nuts and worried it will ruin sons life? How are they now both in Jail?
What is with the host buldging eyes....ridiculous...
Sabrina Mcmaster Crime excites her. Lol
every single video she hosts she does it so i think it's just a normal and natural thing for her 💀💀
thank you for informing :))
Her parents are so so sweet :'( I hope they solve this one, for all their sakes!
So sad I reside in Tahlequah I'm glad to see more Oklahoma case's being looked into I grew up in Welch in my early elementary days still waiting to hear great news on the recovery of Laura Bible and her friends remains 😢 My older sister was friends with her
Alot of us still waiting on news, I'm in Missouri now , but i had my son in Tulsa , the same year the girls went missing. There is a post going around asking everyone if they know of old basements.
Love to Dena's parents. RIP Dena. 🙏
It’s so clear to see that the boy and dad did it sent the boy to the bowling place while the dad and uncle killed the poor girl 16 still a baby so sad I really feel for her parents 🥺
God when an old man cries I cant help but break for him.
Missing children are a serious issue. Show some respect for this channel and comments please.
She's not missing....
Did you even watch it?
Ok! I am confused they said she went through her boyfriends isle and paid for her purchase. So how could he have been at work and or bowling at the same time?
I asked the same question
@@jasminspepperpot8156 did they mean that he went bowling after his shift? I think they said it ended at 10pm, and his dad showed up at 9:40pm. So maybe he was seen bowling right after 10pm, so no time to commit the murder?
true crime just makes me wanna become a detective even more, feel the parents pain a lot tho
I hope you mean detective. Defectives aren't especially useful. 🤣
@@samichgrrl yes I just realized 😅😂
Preacher-Dad is seriously dislodged.
“Doesn’t sounds like a preacher to me.” Unfortch it doesn’t sound totally atypically like a preacher to me...
ua-cam.com/video/A1D5B_qFv1I/v-deo.html
“Unfortch”!?!?!?!? Are you fucking serious right now??
Just stop. Please. That’s the most basic bitch khaki pants shit I’ve ever heard. Fuck outa here with this.
9ll)l))llllollllll
Lllllllll
Lllll
DISLODGED ~~ great word to describe someone’s state of mind ~~ might have to use this one ! Cheers. 🇦🇺🇦🇺xoxox
I knew Dena and her family. Him and his Dad will pay for what they did to her. Praise God.
I love the dedication of their time and knowledge to these type cases.
Only 3 minutes in and that preacher is already a suspect to me yelling at the damn screen talking bout some “repent”
Scared the life outta me😑
I'm from tulsa and that's technically a bad neighborhood, i could see it being sex trafficking, but I'm convinced it was the boyfriend or his family
“His dad was a minister, who preached out of his home”
* horribly loud & aggressively * “REPENT!!!”
🥴
lmao. I jumped out my seat
He's trying to convince himself I believe.
This was posted in 2018 according to the description and here we are in 2021 and the case is still marked unsolved. I hope they get justice.
Once he said that she will always be 16 in his heart, bc that was when he last seen her 😢 Omg that just touched me fr so sad 😞
Seeing her father break down like that broke my heart. He really loved his daughter and I feel for him. Also, preacher dad looked like he was in the middle of an exorcism with that REPENT bullcrap lmao
It was sad to hear the dads answer to "what does justice look like to you".
He answered that the depression, sadness, and fighting would be over with. Reality is that even after the guy gets locked up theyll still be facing all those things. And when that realization hits you that it is never over until you move on, your heart just sinks
Omgoodness... The dad crying broke my heart!! I can't imagine what he's gone through and continues to endure. 💔
The first interview with the dad almost made me cry
Thankful for Modern Technology and thankful for all those veterans doing this for free!
Poor father
I was just an average sinner until that insane person convinced me to REPENT, by screaming violently at me.
When he said her initials spelled dad WOW!!!
They went on and on at the beginning about how wrong it seemed that she was dating an older guy. And then it turns out the guy was TWO years older. Okay, and....?? That made _no_ sense.
How OLD is the guy she told had impregnated her? He looks at least 30.
He was 18 at the time
18
A parent never gets over the loss of a child! It stays with them forever
OMG her father breaking down just broke my heart!!
17:14 when you see your roomate pouring cereal on top of a bowl of milk
bless her dads poor soul. i pray for their family.
The Converse family are 100 percent responsible. I pray Dena's parents get the closure they have been looking for for years.
Bless that dad 😭
*HER dad, not his!*
Seeing the father cry broke my heart. God bless
The way her father was sobbing as soon as he started to speak of her 😢 you u can literally see how heart broken he is🙏🌹
Sorry but she's the worst reporter on true crime
Why you that?
when you retire and realize that your expertise is still valuable and needed. I am no investigator but wish I will be as valuable and productive when I turn their age in my own profession.
God please grant her poor daddy some peace. My heart hurts for those parents.
*I pray for justice & healing.*
“So your daughter... was in a field... decomposing... for 6 days?”
Wow. Maybe don’t say it like that? Reword it a bit or something. Brutal and unnecessary.
The truth is brutal sometimes and why was it unnecessary? She's a reporter she has to ask questions it's literally the main part of her job
I am heart broken for the dad. God give them all peace! Amen 🙏
This is the first CWD to get me excited. It’s so satisfying when a cold case or disappearance case gets solved and justice finally gets served. If that reverend did do it or had a part of it not only does he have to fear the law but scary of all he will have to answer to GOD. Justice will come to Her killer hopefully in this life and most definitely in the afterlife. That family deserves justice and I hope they get it/if they haven’t. Those Cold Case Folks are heroes.
Oh that dad! Not everyone so lucky to have a dad like her..may her soul rest in peace😔
I'm sorry this happened to you Dena and your family..
"vengeance is mine saith the Lord!"😠
🥀RIP DENA🥀
Her father broke my heart the most
3:00 "REPENTTAAHH!!! REPENTT!!!" *Dramatic Music*📯🎺🎺🎶🎶 "YOU NEEED TO REEPPENNTAH!" 😤😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🤬
Lmfaooooo I laughed out loud reading this
17:13 🤣"REPENT!"
I apologize in advance but I had to laugh when Larry discovered the uneaten sandwich they instantly knew something was wrong!
Right??? My exact thoughts, too.
i literally got scared and jumped when mr pastor man started screaming at me to repent. im like tell ur son to repent or hell be w the devil
Michael definitely knows what happened. His family knows and I believe was definitely involved…..I believe that whole heartedly. I said they would find her at “lovers lane” and they did. He knows what happened
Omg her Dad absolutely breaks my heart ❤️ you can see he how much adored her.
I was Not ready for that dad to start yelling . Holy crap
