She dragged the barrel out into the pond-mind you, without stepping in anything or touching the mud-but still made footprints with a second pair of shoes she then ate, hopped on into the barrel, waited to OD or asphyxiated herself while closing the lid. Oh and she did all of this several days after she went missing so her body could look pretty for the open casket.
Either the person who killed her was affiliated with police officially or unofficially, or they really are extremely lazy. But they did more work trying to create a false narrative then they did to follow the one that was very obvious.
*Police:* “im sorry to inform you ma’am but your daughter passed away” *Mom:* “what, no, how???” *Police:* “she committed suicide. she loaded herself up with semen, put on men’s clothes, dragged a barrel into the water without using her feet or any part of her body really bc she wanted to keep her clothes clean, then hopped inside it and waited for that deadly teaspoon of water to fill up her lungs and kill her. she was also kind enough to close the lid postmortem” *Mom:* “what???” *Police:* “oh also since she’s been dead in the water for like a week she’s in tip top shape so ya know open casket is always an option” *Mom:* “didn’t anything point to foul play???” *Police:* “absolutely not! we know this for a fact bc we all searched the place with our eyes closed!!” *Mom:* “but i-“ *Police:* “suicide”
On point. They should be charged with obstruction of justice. Just c r a z y. Blows my mind. I've been researching quite a lot of cases myself, most of them hallmarked by shitty police work but this one.. Wow. This one made it all the way up to the top of the list. Shame on them.
Christin O oh my gosh you and I think alike lol. Couldn’t have said it better!!!! It’s as bad as “sorry ma’am your son is dead. Mom: oh no! How? Officer: 38 gunshots from 3 different guns then ran over by a car....yep he did it himself. Huh?
I would have sued the police if i was the mom, it's outrageous how poorly they handled the case. It shows the people became police officers to be on the state's payroll and not to their job.
I believe so too, but what I find to be the most damning evidence in favor of this theory is the fact that a body that supposedly was in the water for a whole ass week was actually in such great non-bloated tip top shape that they could even have an open casket
@@es.9593 also like that poor coloured boy, who was found in a school gym wrapped up in a mat with his organs missing. they tried to say he killed himself.
they NEED to reopen this case. surely there’s a fingerprint somewhere, dna?! match the clothing/shoe sizes to the volunteers and potential stalkers, match the voice message to the voices of suspects!!!! or maybe the police “lost” all this evidence. UGHHHHHH. she deserves justice.
I mean there was DNA but whoops!!! we lost that!!! and we gave the mother back clothes her daughter never owned bc she definitely owned them so what does that matter????
@@jLo4sho Why are you asking for a motive? What would any random person have against her? There’s no motive for *anyone* police or otherwise. There isn’t a motive for anyone so it’s very possible a police officer did it based purely on the piss-poor police work and the fact the killer left a lot of evidence they were there that was just ignored. I think the beer cans are a distraction. The killer was pretty obviously thinking clearly when they did this. Otherwise they wouldn’t have removed her body and taunted her case. The voicemail being calm also rules out any drunken stupor. Whoever did this has experience either with crime scenes or with murder as well based on their actions. They also knew they wouldn’t get caught *because* they left that voicemail and a lot of DNA evidence. So they either knew the police wouldn’t do their job right or they are a cop and knew they’d be backed. Whoever did this either is a cop or at least has ties to cops. It can’t just be shitty police work. This was digging in their heels and refusing to investigate.
@@aromaladyellie the leaving DNA part is just part of the time it happened in. DNA didn’t mean anything then, almost all perpetrators left DNA because no one knew it could ever be tested the way it is now.
Evidence gets lost all the time tho. And the swab wouldn’t have the same meaning back the. DNA couldn’t be tested and they had no way of knowing it would be as useful as it is now. But that’s no excuse either, no evidence should ever be lost in any case!
This case has always made me so sad. She was a truly kind person who was taken from her family and the police really did not take this seriously. Thinking of those women who live alone... when will it be safe to be alone?
The saddest part is that we are not safe with partners either, just like Bella mentioned Chris Watts case, it terrifies me. I found an article where it says that over half (61%) of women killed by men were killed by a current or ex partner.

please cover the Redhead Murders!!! my family is convinced that my cousin at least played a part in them, but he's never been named a suspect. luckily he's in jail for other charges.
You can’t leave us hanging like that!!! Please tell us more, I’ve never heard anything about this but now I’m super curious and want to know everything
Here’s what I think may have happened: The man who left the voice mail could have been payed/ tricked into leaving it, and the person who killed her knew that the man who left the voicemail was interested in her. The reason why she looked relaxed when she died may be because she could have been slipped something in a drink by someone she knew (Since there were beer cans is her yard). I can’t think of why the car would be in a different spot than it usually is other than the fact that someone else drove it (But why?). This is my first time leaving a “theory” comment, so I’m sorry if it sounded disrespectful. I absolutely do not want to come across as disrespectful. I hope the family and friends can get closure. (And I know that my theory is a little far fetched but I kind of just combined everything that I was thinking about)
i agree w you on the fact that if she had habits and things she always did like parking her car at the exact same sport everyday, if it was different, its def sketchy and thank god her mom was super careful about those things... i didn't finish the video yet but i already know it's a cold case by how bad the police handled the investigations... all of this is soooo sketchy like, if she was going home after work by car but didn't park at the same place, who drove? If she kept everything in her apartment organized who left a mess? Why tf her mom received clothes that aren't even her daughter's? idk this is messing with my head, prob even more cause its late in my country and i don't even speak proper English ahahh
Maybe if someone (that she knew) was standing where she usually parked, that's why she parked in a different spot if she was in fact the one that drove it home? If it was someone she didn't know I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten out of the car. Or, there isn't an explantion about her drive home from her shift (the route, how long, quiet/busy roads etc.) - perhaps she was driving and saw someone she knew, or someone was waiting for her at her car in the hospital carpark
@@katiepower7236 oh yeah that's very true you're right about that! so someone she prob knew, waited for her to finish her shift, maybe parked it's car where she used to park hers bc it seems like a kind of remoted area and police didn't mention any type of wheels marks on the ground/grass idk... so either they came w her in her car, or they came to her house by themselves by foot or by car? but then what? she just finished her shift and was prob tired at 4am, seems odd that she drank beers w this person, collapsed and ended up in the lake... with clean clothes that aren't hers and with no sign of fighting or drowning idk something's missing i'll try search for more infos
the excuse is he had to murder a girl and obviously make it seem like it wasn't him. wouldn't be surprised if he confessed and police were still saying she drowned?
She was intended to be hidden forever, why the need to dress her? Sounds like someone close to her, had a weird twisted need to cover her up before disposing of the body.
Clothing thing is a sign of guilt. In fact maybe the barrel also indicates that so the body wouldn't float around but stays put.... Another thing about the clothes they were both men AND women's wear. Who does the bra belong to? Did she have underwear on as well?? If the answer's yes, I think it could have give more evidence.
the beer cans need to be tested for dna!!! the sperm needs to be tested!!! and they both need to be compared with each other, and compared to all the suspects that have been mentioned
@@mikedegruchy1329 It might be that the person who murdered her has connection to the police and got rid of the evidence purposely :/ This case is really sad she didnt get justice.
@@christino3852 but that dosent explain the car the barrel the shoe print and her being in the river/pond days after she passed and the voicemail the random nurse uniform and she had met up with her mom hrs or a day before she would have said somethign to her that meant she will be committing
DO I have a lot of exams to revise for? yes Do I have a lot of homework piling up? yes is it time to go bed because its school tomorrow? yes Am I still going to watch a 26 min case that'll give me nightmares? Also yes😃
Bella mentions in the video that according to the information she found she and her boyfriend were just recently getting serious before she was murdered. She was an adult, and dating as an adult and telling your parents can be a bit weird. Lots of adults who are dating will tell their family that they are dating but may leave out certain information, I know I do. So I don’t think that’s particularly weird.
@@kategoldner877 Exactly and how do you think it will look on the news if a veteran committed such a horrible murder. People would not have the same respect as they probably do now for them!
also, didnt voicemails at this time have a time stamp of some sort? i know it was in the '70s but didnt the machine or phone have a way of recording the date and time somehow? if they didnt then.. clever move
I was literally typing that the police looks so f***ing suspicious when you mentioned the theory! But maybe it wasn't someone in the police but rather a relative of someone in the police! I don't think it was Gordon, why would he lead the police to her body without knowing for sure that they would ignore the barrel completely? I really feel the police was involved somehow. Maybe the voicemail has an explanation, maybe Debbie was annoyed by that person and was avoiding him, maybe he really didn't see her for a few days. But it's also likely he's the killer.. I don't know
If her body was IN A BARREL then how on earth could ANYONE think this was an accident. Nobody would “accidentally” get into a barrel and then fall into the pond
oh this is SO weird. I would love to see someone like Unsolved Mysteries do an episode on this and call more attention to it! Also, these etch a sketch earrings are super fun.
I’ve been trying to decide which Casetify case to buy for my new iPhone for over a week now and you finally helped me decide. I want that cow print with pink lining, thanks for letting me copy you Bella! I’ll use your code. 💕🐄
Molly. Nolin I just got mine and it’s beautiful!!I got a clear one with rose gold glitter and balls !!it’s beautiful and whilst drunk my boyfriend tried it out by dropping it from six foot !!(a hole ) lol but it’s still fine ,now I’m looking for a new one!!I love them 🥰😘😍💖🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
i have NEVER commented so much under a video. sorry not sorry. this case is going to be stuck in my head for a long time. my heart goes out to her loved ones
I used your code for my new case and it just came today. I’m obsessed!!! This is my second Casetify case and they are LEGIT. And I drop my phone A LOT. 😬
What the actual heck is this police work. Like are they against getting her justice or against using their brains. I just don’t get why they would not do their job here or be totally in denial. What’s the point of not doing good job? Like she was fricken obviously murdered, don’t they want to find the murder? This totally has to be a cover or they are just totally dumb or lazy. Can they sue them for this?
it sounds like she was murdered in her uniform, and the killer tried to replace it with a different one so they wouldnt look for it - and then dressed her in new clothes. why not use her own clothes? how they did all of this in a few short hours is beyond me.
imo it was the guy that left the voicemail, it just sat wrong with me. but also, maybe he had a police relationship so they covered up for him?? this is so frustrating
Thank you for uploading more often! American’s fried brains and tired loins need a nice distraction after a stressful past week of election drama, despite the positive outcome.💙
The police clearly knew who did it/or they did it. Their clear effort to NOT conduct a strong investigation is too obvious. I feel so sorry for her mother and family for not receiving true closure. Also, your theory on the voicemail is spot on. As soon as I heard it, I felt like he was planning on it being heard a few days later.
Definitely the man on the voicemail! If he did fancy her, it makes sense because she was REDRESSED. That shows some form of compassion or guilt for her. Those policeman are dumbbbbbbb
My intuition is telling me it was the guy who found her & the voicemail was innocent but he accidentally said days instead of hours? Or it was Bella’s theory & I believe the police helped to cover it up.
this is so heartbreaking and confusing, i hope everyone watching and around the world learns to stay safe. stuff like this happens to any regular person no matter gender or age. i pray you guys never have to deal with anything like this at all. women especially , inshallah we never experience this ❤️ my heart goes out to all the family and friends

I still have to watch your previous mystery Monday case. My intro to formal reasoning assignment is due next Friday instead of tomorrow which is good. I don’t need to pull an all nighter to finish 4 questions. The good thing is that everyone in that group me is on the same page in terms of not knowing what’s going on in the class😂now I can also spend time to do Diwali prep like make a Rangoli on the front porch and Diwali cleaning. Mainly my own bedroom for cleaning.
I feel like this was done by an acquaintance from her work. The nurse uniform, the men's clothing, the creepy guys from work who would not back off. But I also can't tell if the police were literally the shittiest police ever, if they were covering stuff up, or both. Maybe they had a family member or friend in the police force that could fuck everything up for them? I don't know. This case is baffling and I can't figure anything out bc 1. I don't have any of the evidence (neither do they so ig that's shit) and 2. I'm not a professional (but apparently when you are you still do a shit job)
I'm torn on this one. The voice-mail is absolutely strange and points to the murderer however, as you started this story, the friend really stood out to me. He too is suspicious. Maybe they were both in on it. Maybe they knew each other. I doubt it to be honest but they're both sketch.
This sounds like a cover up by the police the fact that they ignored the barrel it's really suspicious.
I am sure it’s not that deep. they probably just didn’t wanna look into it because it’s easier for them to close the case
i was thinking that, sounds like a cover up

Why tf her mom received clothes that aren't even her daughter's? idk this is messing with my head, prob even more cause its late in my country and i don't even speak proper English ahahh
Maybe if someone (that she knew) was standing where she usually parked, that's why she parked in a different spot if she was in fact the one that drove it home? If it was someone she didn't know I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten out of the car. Or, there isn't an explantion about her drive home from her shift (the route, how long, quiet/busy roads etc.) - perhaps she was driving and saw someone she knew, or someone was waiting for her at her car in the hospital carpark
@@katiepower7236 oh yeah that's very true you're right about that! so someone she prob knew, waited for her to finish her shift, maybe parked it's car where she used to park hers bc it seems like a kind of remoted area and police didn't mention any type of wheels marks on the ground/grass idk... so either they came w her in her car, or they came to her house by themselves by foot or by car? but then what? she just finished her shift and was prob tired at 4am, seems odd that she drank beers w this person, collapsed and ended up in the lake... with clean clothes that aren't hers and with no sign of fighting or drowning idk something's missing i'll try search for more infos
@@katiepower7236 Thats really interesting !! I didn't even think about that
I would love to know what voicemail man's excuse is for saying that she hadn't been at work for a few days
Saaaameeee
idk my thinking was that it was some kind of alibi?
the excuse is he had to murder a girl and obviously make it seem like it wasn't him. wouldn't be surprised if he confessed and police were still saying she drowned?
@@gwynquagliana2043 yeah but the police should've asked him why he said a few days vs just the one, and I wonder what his excuse was then
Maybe he specifically hadn’t seen her in a few days?
they should have compared the two guys shoes to the shoes that she was found in
Naah...that`s too much work. Better give them some coffee and donuts.
Frrrr
"this is so sketchy...' like your earrings.
She was intended to be hidden forever, why the need to dress her? Sounds like someone close to her, had a weird twisted need to cover her up before disposing of the body.
that's such a good point. i wonder if the killer was obsessed with debbie and wanted a part of him to stay with her forever
@@LDHsinger right? Or someone close to her with a twisted respect to feel the need to cover her up.
Sandy Curry that indicates to me it was someone who knew her and cared for her even if it was in a bazaar way.
Clothing thing is a sign of guilt. In fact maybe the barrel also indicates that so the body wouldn't float around but stays put.... Another thing about the clothes they were both men AND women's wear. Who does the bra belong to? Did she have underwear on as well?? If the answer's yes, I think it could have give more evidence.
the beer cans need to be tested for dna!!! the sperm needs to be tested!!! and they both need to be compared with each other, and compared to all the suspects that have been mentioned
jess the speed sample was lost...
@@mikedegruchy1329 It might be that the person who murdered her has connection to the police and got rid of the evidence purposely :/ This case is really sad she didnt get justice.
girl- even a child could realize it wasn't drowning and very much a homicide
Everyone: there was a barrel
The police: what are you talking about? that's not a barrel its a jacket
Me: can someone fire these people please
If she worked at the VA hospital and was found in a larger army jacket I wonder if it was an obsessed patient 👀
Did they ever fingerprint and collect the beer cans? There could be finger prints on them especially if they weren’t hers
Yeah thats what I was thinking, there also could me ruminants of saliva in the cans
I’m assuming they didn’t since police think she was the one drinking
Probably too much hard work for cops to actually do their job anyways ACAB since they wanna be careless
It was clearly a suicide so why would they bother ????
@@christino3852 but that dosent explain the car the barrel the shoe print and her being in the river/pond days after she passed and the voicemail the random nurse uniform and she had met up with her mom hrs or a day before she would have said somethign to her that meant she will be committing
So they think she just fell in a barrel ? I’m so confused how does that even make sense lol
i love how bella states her opinion but isn’t biased in any of her cases
Also can you do more cases on indiginous people , I'm not indiginous but i just think that more people should know about these sort of cases
Nissy A.c Highway of tears please
@@mikedegruchy1329 is that an indiginous person's case?
@@mikedegruchy1329 nevermind I looked it up yassss he should definitely do a video on this
Wind river this movie is inspired by the real-life concern surrounding missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada and the United States.
@@mikedegruchy1329 that case is not indigenous to Australia though and she's Australian
was so confused as to why you were so tan, then i realized it's summer down below :'(
honestly at this point the police should just be filed as suspects they’re so sketchy i cantttttttt
The police make me so angry in cases like these
the police make me angry in general
I’m confused as to how they determined that her death was by drowning when her body was found in a barrel??? Make it make sense Lord..
DO I have a lot of exams to revise for? yes
Do I have a lot of homework piling up? yes
is it time to go bed because its school tomorrow? yes
Am I still going to watch a 26 min case that'll give me nightmares? Also yes😃
Same...then I got hungry..am I still gonna eat and procrastinate on another video..most likely
But who is her boyfriend? No one knew him but everyone knew that she was in a relationship? And he wasnt at the funeral? Supish 🤨
FR tho
Bella mentions in the video that according to the information she found she and her boyfriend were just recently getting serious before she was murdered. She was an adult, and dating as an adult and telling your parents can be a bit weird. Lots of adults who are dating will tell their family that they are dating but may leave out certain information, I know I do. So I don’t think that’s particularly weird.
@@EvilasFUDGE you‘re Right, i‘m dating someone since may and haven‘t told my parents yet haha
He was a volunteer veteran...for sure the cops covered it up
I’m from Fayetteville, NC and I 100% believe that could be the case. The police force also has tons of veterans.
@@kategoldner877 Exactly and how do you think it will look on the news if a veteran committed such a horrible murder. People would not have the same respect as they probably do now for them!
Doctor: She didn’t die by drowning.
Cops: Yes she did
😂😂 wtf
also, didnt voicemails at this time have a time stamp of some sort? i know it was in the '70s but didnt the machine or phone have a way of recording the date and time somehow? if they didnt then.. clever move
I died 😂😂😂”what barrel what are you talking about”😂😂😂😂
Same looool
they were definitely covering up something. this is so sad. i hope she went peacefully
Your pfp has me laughing so hard-
@@destiny.2786 LMAOO thx
@@kaiti3289 yw 😂😂😂😂
It’s so sad how the local police didn’t take this case seriously, I personally think that it was a coverup
ikr
I was literally typing that the police looks so f***ing suspicious when you mentioned the theory! But maybe it wasn't someone in the police but rather a relative of someone in the police! I don't think it was Gordon, why would he lead the police to her body without knowing for sure that they would ignore the barrel completely? I really feel the police was involved somehow.
Maybe the voicemail has an explanation, maybe Debbie was annoyed by that person and was avoiding him, maybe he really didn't see her for a few days. But it's also likely he's the killer.. I don't know
this is one of those cases where there’s just so many unanswered questions, mostly by the fault of the investigators, and it’s absolutely infuriating
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video
انت من أين ؟
If her body was IN A BARREL then how on earth could ANYONE think this was an accident. Nobody would “accidentally” get into a barrel and then fall into the pond
Maybe some people just go swimming in the pond in the Barrel. The police made a laughable explanation. You are totally right. That's just laughable.
She was in a barrel omfg. This one is so frustrating
My first instinct: someone related to the police was involved in her murder.
Another mystery Monday!! You’re on fire Bella 🔥 🔥
Am I delusional?? 2 videos in a week!! You’re killing it
oh this is SO weird. I would love to see someone like Unsolved Mysteries do an episode on this and call more attention to it!
Also, these etch a sketch earrings are super fun.
I’ve been trying to decide which Casetify case to buy for my new iPhone for over a week now and you finally helped me decide. I want that cow print with pink lining, thanks for letting me copy you Bella! I’ll use your code. 💕🐄
Molly. Nolin I just got mine and it’s beautiful!!I got a clear one with rose gold glitter and balls !!it’s beautiful and whilst drunk my boyfriend tried it out by dropping it from six foot !!(a hole ) lol but it’s still fine ,now I’m looking for a new one!!I love them 🥰😘😍💖🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Omg yes isn’t it the cutest!! 🧚♀️
@@bellafiori omg yes hun, I’m in 🇬🇧so takes bit longer to get to me!!I couldn’t wait!!they really are worth the money and the look gorgeous!!’💖🇬🇧
@@bellafiori it’s on it’s way to my house now!!💕
i have NEVER commented so much under a video. sorry not sorry. this case is going to be stuck in my head for a long time. my heart goes out to her loved ones
I literally thought you were wearing albuterol inhaler earrings 🤣💀
I think it is the voicemail guy but maybe he had some sort of connection with the police and they were kinda covering it up for him
I agree with you on Gordon being suspicious..as soon as you mentioned him finding her body as soon as he went in the water seemed strange to me...
i’ve neverr been this early... looks like this paper is gonna have to wait! bella comes first!
I used your code for my new case and it just came today. I’m obsessed!!! This is my second Casetify case and they are LEGIT. And I drop my phone A LOT. 😬
This is ludicrous!!!!!!!!!!! Im so angry and shocked!!!!!!!!
Earlier than a white family at an airport lol
🤣🤣
Except the McCallister family.
Why haven’t they tried the clothing measurements on the men in question too?
Based on the fine work the policemen did on this case, I’d bet it’s because they can’t count past 10
what a way to end the week 🥰
What the actual heck is this police work.
Like are they against getting her justice or against using their brains.
I just don’t get why they would not do their job here or be totally in denial.
What’s the point of not doing good job?
Like she was fricken obviously murdered, don’t they want to find the murder?
This totally has to be a cover or they are just totally dumb or lazy.
Can they sue them for this?
I feel like we all need a Bella podcast!!! Mystery Monday on both UA-cam and podcast streaming platforms!!
Have you ever thought of turning mystery Monday into a podcast?! I’d love to listen
it sounds like she was murdered in her uniform, and the killer tried to replace it with a different one so they wouldnt look for it - and then dressed her in new clothes. why not use her own clothes? how they did all of this in a few short hours is beyond me.
imo it was the guy that left the voicemail, it just sat wrong with me. but also, maybe he had a police relationship so they covered up for him?? this is so frustrating
I think who ever did it had an in the with police.
Police are mad sus in this case .. they def had something to do with Debbie's death
Is it weird that I fall asleep to these videos almost every time? her voice is just so soothing
You put so much work into your videos and it shows
Thank you for uploading more often! American’s fried brains and tired loins need a nice distraction after a stressful past week of election drama, despite the positive outcome.💙
Definitely bad police work smh. They could have definitely got him if they had actually put the effort in and did their jobs. 😒😓 LAZY!
The police clearly knew who did it/or they did it. Their clear effort to NOT conduct a strong investigation is too obvious. I feel so sorry for her mother and family for not receiving true closure. Also, your theory on the voicemail is spot on. As soon as I heard it, I felt like he was planning on it being heard a few days later.
Thanks for the video Bella! Just what I needed to take my mind of stuff!
Definitely the man on the voicemail! If he did fancy her, it makes sense because she was REDRESSED. That shows some form of compassion or guilt for her. Those policeman are dumbbbbbbb
One of the suspects fled the state?? Why didn’t they pursue this??? Why didn’t they also run DNA tests on the beer cans?? This is just plain stupidity
YESSS! I’m so glad you’re uploading these more often!
My intuition is telling me it was the guy who found her & the voicemail was innocent but he accidentally said days instead of hours? Or it was Bella’s theory & I believe the police helped to cover it up.
Why have I never heard of this? This is so close to where I live
Same. This case is so suspicious and I feel like all North Carolinians should know about it.
You guys tell us if you spot a barrel! 😄
this is so heartbreaking and confusing, i hope everyone watching and around the world learns to stay safe. stuff like this happens to any regular person no matter gender or age. i pray you guys never have to deal with anything like this at all. women especially , inshallah we never experience this ❤️ my heart goes out to all the family and friends
I have to go back and start over... I’ve been googling trying to find a hanging flower pot like the one behind you 😅 a literal “oooooh squirrel!” Moment!
I’m sure if you are interested there are easy dyi step by step tutorials on Pinterest that show how to tie your own knots around a pot to make it your own hanging pot! Happy searching☺️☺️
I still have to watch your previous mystery Monday case. My intro to formal reasoning assignment is due next Friday instead of tomorrow which is good. I don’t need to pull an all nighter to finish 4 questions. The good thing is that everyone in that group me is on the same page in terms of not knowing what’s going on in the class😂now I can also spend time to do Diwali prep like make a Rangoli on the front porch and Diwali cleaning. Mainly my own bedroom for cleaning.
Same here! Finally had time to watch both of her Mystery Monday’s today
@@chloesullivan8952 I have time to watch this one today! I think I watched her previous one Friday
I feel like this was done by an acquaintance from her work. The nurse uniform, the men's clothing, the creepy guys from work who would not back off. But I also can't tell if the police were literally the shittiest police ever, if they were covering stuff up, or both. Maybe they had a family member or friend in the police force that could fuck everything up for them? I don't know. This case is baffling and I can't figure anything out bc 1. I don't have any of the evidence (neither do they so ig that's shit) and 2. I'm not a professional (but apparently when you are you still do a shit job)
I believe a cop or other official on the area is the guilty party. This would explain the willfully inept investigation and half ass cover-up.
did the cops just forget that she was in a barrel!
Keep slaying the game sis. Always look forward to your videos! Hope you and your family are doing well and happy holidays! 💜💜
I'm torn on this one. The voice-mail is absolutely strange and points to the murderer however, as you started this story, the friend really stood out to me. He too is suspicious. Maybe they were both in on it. Maybe they knew each other. I doubt it to be honest but they're both sketch.
Not me watching another Bella Case instead of doing my homework
